that a professional photographer had
been taking fashlight pictures in the
corridor of the high school few min
utes before the fire broke out and the
children had been warned not to be
alarmed. When the firemen came and
drill began they thought, therefore,
that 1t was for another picture and
all of them marched out quietly.
The fire started below the floor Of
the chemical laboratory on the first
floor and only quick action by the fire
department prevented serious fire.

that cattle, sheep and horses are in

Grand Rapids was threatened with a

in the laboratory of the Central high

the children marched out in perfect

two and one-ha1f minutes.
The Central high school is over

and fears of a possible panic have
long been felt, but the fire drill proved
effective.

SECRETARY WILSON'S PLEA

Washington, July 14.-Assistant Sec
rotary Jesse Wilson of the interior de-
partment, who has just returned from
a trip through Indiana says that state
will give Taft an old time republican
majority in November.
Il visited many of the important
towns said Secretary Wilson, land
on every side were indications of a
lively campaign. There is an interest
ing fight for governor and the state
issues are sharply drawn.
THE republicans are united. and,
being a presidential year. we will get
out the full republican vote. which
means victory for the state and nat
ional tickets. Bryan is not as strong
with the democrats as he was in 1896
and 1900.
"The conservative democrats, and
there are thousands Of them. were OPP
posed to Bryan's nomination and they
will not support him. The issue is

DEMOCRATS OF
TENNESSEE CONVENE
Will Affirm Results of Recent
Primary.

Nashville. Tenn, July 14.-Na5hville
is full of democrats and every incom-
ing train is loaded with them. They
are here and are coming for the state
convention today which will affirm the
results of the recent primary and nom-
mate candidates for governor. supreme
judge, judge of the court of appeals
and railroad commissioner and select
new state committee.
The nominees will be NJ. r. Patter-
son for governor, B. D. Bell for su-
preme judge, A. B. Lamb for appellate
judge, and Frank Avent for railroad
commissioner. Austin Peay, who man.
aged Governor Patterson's primary
campaign, is likely to be the chairman
of the new state committee.
There is likely to be little friction
over the platform, although the sup
porters of ex-senator Carmack will un-
doubtedly attempt to have a state
wide prohibition plank inserted. The
governors friends however, will DOM
mate the convention. and they are de-
termined to resist any effort to en-
barrass their leader.

PAY ROLL OF THE.
PENNSY UNIQUE
Over Thirteen Hundred Active
Employees With the Road
Forty Years.
MANY ARE ON PENSIONS.
RECORDS SHOW THAT OLD MEN
STAND WELL WITH THE GREAT
PUBLIC CARRYING SYSTEM
SOME OF THE OLD EMPLOYEES.

Unique among the pay rolls of the
country is that of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, which according to a COM
pilaion just completed, IS known to
have 1850 active employees who have
been with the road forty years or
more. In addition 1913 men have
served the company more than forty
years, but have retired from their
work and are receiving pensions reg
ularly from the company.
William Durham, who as news
writer entered the service of the Della
ware & Raritan Canal in June, 1899,
even before the Pennsylvania Railroad
was chartered, has been on the pay
roll for the longest period. At the
time of his retirement he was a pilot
on the floating equipment at Jersey
City.
The oldest employee is David G.
Brice, who was born Nov. 3, 1918. He
was, before his retirment, on the Sun
bury division. Three others were born
prior to 1880. OF the employees of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in active serv-
ice, lis are 81 years of age, us are Ga
years old, ia are 81 and los are 90
years old. Sixty-seven of the eighty
five principal officers of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company started as
beginners and their average age is 81
years and their average length of ser.
vice is twenty-six years.
After fifty years of service, Abra-
ham Moore, assistant foreman at the
Gray's Ferry roundhouse Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad has retired under
the company's pension provision, and
his associates, in honor of his long
service and companionship. presented
him with a reclining chair and an ex.
pensive meerschaum pipe to solace
his declining years.

TO KEEP BOOM ALIVE.

New York, July 14.-In spite of the
cheerful assurances given W. j. Bryan
by William J. Corners that New York
state would be for him. neither Con-
ners, Murphy nor any other of the ex-
perienced politicians from New York
or any Eastern state believes Bryan
has better than a l to chance to
capture the presidency.
The real reason Murphy did not try
harder to bring about the nomination
of William J. Gaynor was that Muir
pny and his friends decided after
looking over the situation in Denver,
the chance of the election of the nat
ional ticket was so remote it would
be unfair to ask Gaynor to take a NOM
nation.
Greatest Task of Campaign.
The truth of the situation. as view
ed by the New York delegates, is that
Bryan has the greatest task of his po-
litical life before him to keep his cam
paign from collapse. 1t was common
talk among the delegates from the
Eastern states and from Illinois and
many of the middle Western states
that there was no real enthusiasm for
Bryan, even among the delegates who
voted for him.
Must Carry New York.
One of the Tammany delegates back
from the convention said:
This talk of carrying the country
without New York state is nonsense.
In order to have an outside chance to
carry New York 1t will be necessary
to spend at least half million dol
lars recognizing the democracy of the

While he was waiting Mr.. Kern told
the newspaper men he expects to
make a speech-making tour and cover
a great deal of country. Also. he ex-
pressed the opinion that the demo-
crate will carry Indiana. but like Mr..
Bryan, he confessed that democra tic
efforts will be directed North, South,
East and West" He declined to make
any guesses as to who will be elected
chairman, secretary or treasurer for
the democratic national committee
during the coming campaign.
Mr.. Kern was asked about the story
to the effect that he may share the
white house with Mr.. Bryan if elected
