Paper from Straw.
Unlimited Supply of Ma
terial very Cheap.

In the last few months much
has been written concerning
"the conservation of our natural
resources" The resources gen
orally spoken of were the forest,
field and mine. The waste of
forest products and the ever in
creasing demand for same is be-
ing made especially prominent
in the matter Of paper. Few of
those who daily see the almost
numberless uses of paper have
any idea Of how it is made, or
what it is made from, and the
idea of the book or the newspa-
per in their hand having been
part of beautiful pine tree in
the wilds of Canada a few
months previous would be laugh
ed at as a JOKE, or a fairy tale.
However, the farmers of the
United States, from the wheat
fields of the Dakotas to the rice
fields of the Gulf States, have a
natural resource in the shape
OF straw, corn stalks and cotton
stalks that can Ne made to take

most intelligent class in. the
whole country, the farmers.
Coarse paper and straw board
have long been made from wheat
straw in many localities. One
of the latest concerns to embark
in this business is the Hutchi-
son Straw Products Company,
of Hutchinson, Kansas, which
concern has applied for papers
of incorporation. 1t has bought
a tract of land just east of the
plant and property of the Hutch
inson Packing Company and the
Union Stock Yards Company.
There are about $50 acres in
the tract and it is valuable
piece of property, being along
side the Santa Fe railroad com
pany's tracks.
1t is understood that the plant
of the straw board company is
to be located on this tract and
that arrangements are being
made to commence the construc-
ton of the plant in a short time.
This is one of the new indus
tries that Hutchinson hopes to
have in operation within a few
months, using up the straw
from the wheat fields it's opera

DEATH-TRAPS IN
NEWARK SCHOOLS,
INSPECTOR FINDS
Reports Many Cellars Are Filled
with Inflammable Ma
teriaI.
DOORS OPEN INWARD;
FIRE G0NGS OUT OF ORDER
Education Commissioners Order
Dangers Be Removed as
Speedily as Possible.

Defective fire gongs, doors swinging
in, Easements half filled with tindcr-
like desks and big bags of waste paper
in cellars, were features of Newark s
schools which were placed before mem
bers of the School Board yesterday. The
word that had gone forth soon after
the Collinwood disaster, that every
Newark school was safe, was recanted,
and commissioners bestirred themselves
to change conditions and remove the
dangers.
Aaron W. Miller. the supervisor of
repairs, who has given up all other
work temporarily to inspect school
buildings, had long list Of minor de-
fects to hand in TO the board. Sand
wiched between lesser evils were state
ments of rusty bolts on double doors,
and the storing in cellars of large guam
titles of paper which spark would
convert into balls of flame.
Among other things Mr.. Miller re-
ported these:
Eight fire gongs IN schools arc out of
order; others arc so small that their
sound cannot be heard on the second
floor.
Burlap sacks filled with paper arc
stored in the basement of almost every
school in the city. The sacks are
emptied once week.
OF doors opening inward there are
seven In the Lawrence Street School,
four in tho Oliver Street School and
several in the South Street School.
In several schools desks, with paper
and straw beneath them. are stored in
the Easements of schools
The ceiling over the furnace at the
Walnut Street School is of wood, not
fire proofed.
Mr. Miller was instructed to have the
gongs repaired, the doors changed and
the ceiling made fire-proof He was
also instructed to enforce q ruling
against storing desks in cellars, and
was authorized to purchase galvanized
iron receptacles with covers for waste
paper.

School Staff Object-Peti-

The cause of Thomas j. Bissell, prin-
cipal of the Charlton Street School,
whose certificate has been revoked and
who has been suspended by the Board
of Education, was again pleaded before
Superintendent Addison B. Poland yes
terday afternoon. This time the dele
cation consisted of twenty three young
women teachers. A few days ago q
delegation of pupils visited the CITY
superintendent on the same errand.
I'VE have here with us the proxies
of twenty of the remaining twenty
three teachers at the school," said one
of the schoolma' ANS. There are only
three teachers WI arc opposed 20 MS

pupils want to see him put back"
DR. Poland told the delegation that
there was little to be done by the
teachers or the superintendent They
replied that while they realized this,
but hoped that the high esteem and
respect in which the deposed principal
was held might have some weight with
the Board of Examiners.
1t is understood that a petition to
the State Board of Education, asking
for the reconsideration of Mr.. Bissell' $
case is being circulated and has re-
oeiyed many signatures. 1t is said that
the petition will be presented to tho
State Board shortly. The principals
certificate was revoked after an in
vostigation OF charges that ne had re-
ceived $500 for granting a false GER

Officer and Captive, in Desperate
Fight, Narrowly Escape
Death from Trains.

NEW YORK, March 13.--A burglar
hunt, which began With a policeman
shooting at fleeing robber. in the fash
ionablo district of Sixty-f1fth street and
Park avenue carly today, ended with
ar officer being lowered through q
street opening 80 feet to the tracks Of
the New York Central tunnel, where he
fought a desperate battle with the fugi-
tive, both men narrowly escaping death
from a passing train. The man was
taken to hospital, and when he re-
covers he will face a charge of COM
mitting one of the cleverest burglaries
of the many IL New Yorks recent cpl
demic of crime.
A policeman passing the Palacio apart
ments at Park avenue and Sixty y-fiftl
street early this morning heard sus-
picious sounds in the arcaway and
went down to investigate. AS he
reached the bottom of the stairway Il
man darted past him and started down
tho avenue at top speed. The officer
followed, calling upon the fugitive to
stop, and sent three bullets to enforce
his command. The shots brought 10
the chase several detectives, who had
been specially assigned to that section
of the city because of the many recent
burglaries.
When the fugitive realized that his
pursuer had been reinforced. and that
his chance of escape by straightaway
run was extremely slight, he darted to
one of the tunnel openings in Park ave-
nue. and plunged through to the tracks,
thirty feet below.
Auto Search1lght Used.
In the tunnel the darkness was in
tense, and for a time the pursuers
feared their man had escaped. Then
an automobile with a powerful search
light came up the avenue. 1t was
stopped by the policemen, tho search
light was turned down through the
opening, and the fugitive was seen
lying across the tracks at the bottom
Of the pit. The automobile towing rope
was lowered through the opening and
n policeman clambored down.
AS soon as he saw the officer the
man jumped up and put up ,des-
perate fight, while trains rushed by
the struggling pair At last the officer
drew his billy and knocked his OPP
ponent out. He was pulled to the top OF
the tunnel ard taken to a hospital,
where it was said he was not danger
ously injured.
In the areaway where the man was
first seen the police found shopping
bag containing eighty-five pieces of
silver which had been taken from one
of the apartments in the house.
