MANY ARE SAVED
BY FIRE DRILL

Chicago, Nov. e.The discipline OF
the fire drill prevented panic among
$50 school children today when fire
attacked the branch school at Lunt
avenue and North Robey street.
The building is frame structure,
two stories high. At the sound of the
alarm the teachers marshalled the chill
dren in line and they made their es-
cape quickly and in good order, de-
spite the fact that the blaze was at the
front of the building the ordinary ex-
1t, and that egress had to be through
The rear. The building was saved.

Dramatic Scene in Court.
The scene in the courtroom when

wives of the two prisoners, who had
, been constant attendants at the court
during the entire trial, wese present
early today as IL anxious to cheer
their husbands by their presence ir
the trying ordeal which confronted
them.
When the real test came. however
it was the husbands and not the wives
who proved comforters. Morse sal
like stole when he heard the words
which condemned him to prison. There
was scarcely q tremor of an eye lid
and to those who watched there was
no longer even shadow OF q deubi
that the Little man. was indeed Q
man of iron nerve.

THE FUTURE OF THE BILLBOARD

Riding from Philadelphia to New York city few days ago on a limited train that was making up time, I found myself, owing to the great speed of the train. unable to read the signs on the huge, hdeous bill boards that hide the New Jersey land scapes from the eye of the would-be heholder. If you love nature and trees you must content yourself there abonts with trees in another form sawed up into boards and laden with commercial legends
 A New Jersey farmer happened tc be riding beside me l commented un- favorably to him on the defacement of the scenery He agreed with me and then, brightenng up, he said:

newspaper man travelling through Egypt

Tammany chief of New York, and OBJ
tanned an interview with him which ap-
peared in an afternoon paper here yester-
day. Croker is quoted as saying:
Though I am out of American politics
forever, 1t still interests me. The situa-
ton is unusual with Bryan indorsing
ROosevelt's policies.
do you know. like Roosevelt. l can't
help admiring the man. He is doing God 8
work in cleaning out the rascals. Many of
my moneyed friends hate him, but that is
because he has stepped on their toes. If
his work was not done right if he was
not right. how is it that so many big men
have committed suicide or gone to jail?
IT tell you ! admire and respect him.
He is an honest. able fellow. There are
no issues between the parties today. If
I go back to America in the fall / will
hardly know what to do.
Now there is Taft to be nominated by
the republicans and Bryan by the demo-
Gratis. Neither party has an issue worth
talking about. Everybody likes Roosevelt
at home. 1t might even happen that a
bunch of democratic admirers would
him. 1t is quite possible that the repub-
Iicans may nominate him unanimously.
What could he do? Anyway, l admire
the man and DIE has done his country

POSTPONED WITHOUT DAY.
Trial of James Arthur Kemp Delayed
by His Illness.

James Arthur Kemp. the former chief
clerk of the police department, who is un-
der indictment for the alleged embezz!e-
ment of certain funds coming into his
hands in his official position, will probably
not be placed on trial'this spring. Justice
Barnard. presiding in Criminal Court No.
2, today postponed the trial without day.
The case had been set for next Monday.
but the continued illness of the defendant,
who, while improving in health is still
confined to his home, was again pleaded
with the court as a basis for a further
postponement. The illness of Assistant
United States Attorney Perry, who is
slowly improving at Garfield Hospital
from a severe attack of typhoid fever. has
upset the plans of the prosecution, SO that
the United States attorney also asked that
the case go off indefinitely.
Mr. Perry has prepared the testimony in
the case and the government may be
forced to await his recovery. which in ty-
phoid cases is usually slow, before being
able to call Kemp for trial.
AS United States Attorney Baker will
probably be occupied in Criminal Court
No. l from April l until the summer re-
cess with the de-DiamOnd Benson
Schneider land fraud cases. 1t is more
than probable that the Kemp case Will be
forced over to the October term of the
court. Mr.. Baker has expressed desire
to conduct the prosecution Of Kemp i'm
person.
Attorney S. V. Hayden of counsel for
Kemp stated today that his client is i'm
proving. but that the mother of Kemp,
who is more than eighty years old. is i'll.
He declared he cannot prepare a defense
until Kemp is able to be out and render
him certain necessary assistance.

Howard Griggs unfolded the beauties and
the mysteries of Hamlet" which by
many students and deep thinkers is recos-
nized as the most interesting. If not the
greatest, of Shakespeare's plays.
Hamlet declared the lecturer. was
far from being insane. He was prompted
in his acts by that intellectual generaliza-
ton which caused him to slowly plan his
revenge upon the king. When we con-

then became pessimist. always plan

worlds activities he gradually became
but he never arrived at tnat
state where man is termed medically IN
sane. He was acutely moral in his SEN
sibiiity. said DIR. Griggs. He was shocked
by the circumstances that confronted him.
and this. together with the subsequent de-
velopments which forced him into state
of dependency and melancholy. led him
to the condition so plainly portrayed in his
famous soliloauy. which may be summed
up in the word: why should live? Why
should any one live who is burdened with
thoughts such as mine?'
DIR. Griggs explained that there are four
tragedies EMBODIED in Hamlet" any one
of which. would furnish the material for a
good play in itself
