INSPECT SCHOOLS
CONDITIONS COULD Be
BETTER AT THE CENTRAL
Doors and Narrow Halls Would Be
Menace to Life i'm Time of
An Actual Fire.

Fire Chief E. G. Dawson and Su-
perintendent of schools D. C. Reed,
in company of reporter, visited the
/ Central, Lincoln and Summit View
schools Monday to ascertain just the
| Improvements needed to make the
schools safer in time of fire. The
greatest danger seems to lie in the
Central school, where the arrange
ment is poor, and with narrow halls
and double doors near the main en-
trance, there seems to be every
chance of a congestion in the halls
should fire actually break out and
the scenes of the Collinwood disaster
duplicated.
The front doors are very narrow,
as is the main hall down stairs. All
doors leading to the outside are
fastened with catches, and though
open at he present time, the danger
is apparently great :n the winter. A
slight pressure of the body against
the front doors when closed makes
it practically impossible to turn the
knob, and should the doors be closed
and children pushed up against them
there would be absolutely nothing
but certain death in sight should fire
break out.
A few feet from the outside front
doors in the main hall are double
swinging doors, which are menace
and which will PROBABLY be removed.
Recommendations will be made that
these doors be removed and that
swinging doors are placed at every
entrance.
In the class rooms nearly every
door in the building opens towards
the inside. There is also some slight
danger of congestion in the Railways
during the time the school is being
emptied. This is considered in a
somewhat dubious light, as the
smaller children are on the lower
floor. and it is feared that should the
older children become panic-sticken
they would trample the little ones
under foot.
The Lincoln school is in practical
ly perfect condition, as is the Barge.
Catches on the outside doors at the
Lincoln are hard to operate and will
probably be changed. At the Barge
there seemed no criticism to make
whatsoever.
Chief Dawson states that the Gen.
trail school is apparently very dan
gerous and that hS structure is not
in first-class conditions because Of
age. Should fire break out there he
believes it would prove most disas-
trous.
One recommendation which will
probably be made will be to the eff
feet that furnaces should be placed
In heating plants separate from the
schools. The greatest danger lies In
this point, and with this done fire
loss In schools would be reduced to
the minimum.
zone difficulty, and a serious one,
We have to combat IS the lack of lad
der" states the fire chief. 1--WE have
no facilities to go higher than the
second story in any building in the
city, and an extension ladder Is an
absolute necessity for our fire fight
ing. This would be an expenditure
which would pay for itself many
times over In one saving"

BOLD BANK ROBBERS.

and eight thousand dollars after fight

robbers have a good lead and are be-
heved to have made good their escape
John Tohler. cashier of the bank
lives across the street from the bank
ing building. The explosion that wreck
ed the safe awakened him and he hur-
ried from the house to give the alarm
The robbers fired in Tohler's direction
and command to keep still sent him
back into the house. Other residents
appeared on the scene, but the robbers
were not to be frightened and while
some of the gang kept guard at the
front door of the bank, and warned the
citizens to keep at a distance, the other
robbers finished their job. After the
vault had been ransacked the robbers
went to the Rock Island depot and in
timidating the agent by a display of
their revoivers, set the signal to stop
the first mail, which was about due.
They evidently intended to board and
escape on the train. 1t was late, how
ever, and tired of waiting, the robbers
boarded a hand car and disappeared
in the direction of Belleville.
The robbers all wore masks, so that
while many persons saw them, it will
be difficult to identify them.

ATTACKED AN OFFICER.
Crew Was Infatuated Because Shore
Leave Was Refused.

Tacoma, Wash, June 1.-The re-
fusal of James Gainesford, special
Waterman on board the British
steamer Surveric, Captain William
Shotton, loading lumber here for
Manila, to allow the crew of ~ men
to go ashore yesterday, so maddened
them, that they attacked him with
hatchets. marlin spikes, hatch bars
and other weapons, breaking one of
his ribs and otherwise injuring him.
But for the timely arrival of the
ships first mate and others of the
white crew, the Chinese would have
succeeded in iynching Gainesford
with rope that some attempted to
put around his neck.
The aged Waterman fought them
off with his revolver and shot one of
his assailants in the wrist, infiicting
only a flesh wound No arrests
were made but the incipient mutiny
may be looked into by immigrant
officials,

That Is Low Estimate ON Martini Dem
mis- Sewer.

The new Martin-Dennis sewer is es-
timated by the city engineer to cost
between $4,000 and $4,000, though the
bids should be considerably below those
figures, according to John p. Rogers,
city engineer.
The plans and specifications are to
be submitted to the council for approval
this evening. The city clerk will then
be instructed to advertise for bids and
actual construction will probably COM
mence in the month of July.
This and the proposition of con-
structing a sewer in the Second ward
are two of the main matters of bust
ness to engage the council this evening.
A petition for the paving Of Locust
street from Fourth to Eighth and East
Sixth avenue from the viaduct to Lo-
Gust street will be submitted. The for
mer petitions left out one block on
East Sixth avenue which resulted in
the circulation of entirely new petit
tons. This paving will be done this
year due to the necessity of providing
some method Of taking care of the
Hood water from Biddle creek.

WAGE WAR ON
PATENT MEDICINES
OF AGRICULTURE
BEGINS IMPORTANT CRU
SADIE.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Medical
experts of the department of agricul-
ture today began preparations for max
ing widespread warfare on patent med
icines and proprietary articles. A test
case resulting from the seizure of a
large stock of medical and toilet prepa-
rations from a Washington department
store, will decide the success or failure
Of the movement The gods seized
were mainly prducts of a well known
manufacturer of "beautifying" prepara-
lions. This concern has engaged at
torneys to fight the case and will have
the assistance of many other similar
companies.
1t is alleged by the government ex-
perts that the articles are misbranded
in violation of the pure food act and
are liable to condemnation and con-
fiscation, fer the reason that the pack
ages and labels bear certain statements
regarding the drugs which are false
and misleading-that is to say, that
certain fertilizer tablets" are a spe-
cific for curing fatulency and all gs-
trio troubles and are "a cure for obesi-
ty." And said aforementioned state
ments.' continues the libel, ARE false
and misleading in this, that the said
aforementioned drug is not specinc fol-
curing fiatulency and gastric troubles
and is not cure for obesity" "The
Blush of Youth preparation is de-
clared misbranded, in that it does not
restore the complexion to childlike pu-
rity, and the Excelsior Skin Food" is
declared not to be food for the skin
and both are therefore misbranded in
violation of the pure food act. The mix
lures seized are known as the Madame

agriculture intends to make a test
I case of the seizure. 1t is the first OF
