PRECAUTIONS
TO PROTECT
THE PUBLIC

Asbestos lined operating boxes and
no more standing room in the rear OF
the moving picture shows, is the edict
that has been received by the manag-
ers of these shows in this city. This
order was given by Fire Chief Metz
on account of danger to which the
public is constantly exposed without
these rules.
Many accidents have occurred IN
various houses throughout the United
States from the machines, or rather
the celuloid films, catching fire and
starting a panic. To prevent this
the manaesers of the shows this morn
ing were notified that asbestos must
line the boxes in which the machines
are operated
Another thing which has endanger-
ed the public, and which in case OF
fire might result in a panic, is the
crowd which often stands damned IN
the rear of the buildings. The manag-
ers of the shows have been notified
that this must be stopped but it is
hard to order the sale stopped when
people are at the ticket window anX-
ious to get in. But the edict they re-
ceived this morning they say is iron
clad and will be strictly observed.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
IN CLERKS OFFICE

This is Friday, November IS, and
! that is the only reason that County
Clerk Dorsey M. Hill and his faithful
deputy, Miss Rosa Strauss can assign
for the unexpected and unannounced
explosion of the steam radiator in the
vault room of the office this morning.
Miss Strauss was busily engaged in
recording the papers of a thrilling
murder case. She had just reached the
point where the murderer had sneaked
through a low French window and was
an, his gun had been raised in his hand
according to the testimony of the
witness that she was recording-and
he was about to end her life-when
the radiator exploded. Miss Strauss
thought she was shot herself, and it
is stated by County Clerk Hill she
cleared her typewriter and three ia
bles in one wild leap for safety.
Dorsey himself was engaged IN
reading a magazine. Alkali Ike had
urged his faithful horse to the edge
of the precipce and was reaching over
to rescue the beautiful heroine, when
the villain raised his gun-and the "a
diator exploded. Mss Strauss says
Dorsey leaped to the top of the filing
cases with one bound.
However all that may be. when the
newspaper boys arrived on the scene
they are always sent for first in time
of trouble-Miss Strauss was holding
her skirts daintily in one hand and
with the other was removing papers
and other valuable articles from the
flood which followed the explosion.
Dorsey was looking proud, for he had
turned off the steam.
The newspaper boys helped clear
up the wreck, gave much good advice,
saw matters going well under their dl-
rectiOn, got the story and this is the
result.
