Throws Blazing Tree Through Window
and Prevents Panic in School.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec 81. = Quick
action by janitor who seized blaz-
ing Christmas tree and hurled it
through a window, prevented disas-
trous panic among the kindergarten
pupils of the Twenty-eighth district
school.
Cotton banked around the tree, in
imitation of snow, caught fire from a
candle and the whole tree was in
blaze in a moment The spectators
were panic-stricken.
The prompt action of the janitor en-
abled the teachers to regain control
of their charges, while the children
in othel parts of the building were
marched out under fire drill orders
An incipient blaze at the Second
Baptist church, caused by flames ig-
nited during the rehearsal of can
tat, did not terminate so fortunately
Two hundred children were panic
stricken and many jumped from win
dows, sustaining severe injuries. Older
persons present were badly burned
tearing down the flaming bunting and
checking the fire.

CHILDREN IN Wild PANIC
Fire at Christmas Feast Causes STAN.
pede-Youngsters TrampIed Or

Echo, Mimi, Dec. 27.-The peril of
panic ushered in the celebration of
Yuletide here, and it is nothing short
of a miracle that somber tragedy did
not result when the gas generator con-
nected with the lighting plant in the
Methodist Episcopal church took fire
and caused wild stampede of hun
dred or more frightened women and
children, all Of whom luckily managed
to get out alive, though some were Sc
verely cut by glass.
The work of dressing the tree had
just received it's finishing touches
when the generator burst into flames
almost directly in the path of the tree
and its flimsy, infammable decora-
tons.
Immediately there was a wild
stampede for the doors, and as the
crowd became damned in it the more
badly frightened of the women and
children began jumping through the
windows. Some of these were badly
cut, and those who were unfortunate
enough to fall were trampled on by the
frenZied crowd
The blaze which caused the panic
was put out without much difficulty
and before any damage had been done
to the church itself

Gompers Gets One Year, Mitch
ell Nine Months and Nor
rison Six Months.
APPEAL TO A HIGHER COURT
President Roosevelt Appealed to by
Labor Unions to Prevent incar-
ceratiOn of Leaders.

| Washington, Dec 26. - Twelve
months in Jail for Samuel Gompers,
president, nine months for John
Mitchell, one of the vice presidents,
and six months for Frank Morrison,
secretary. all of the American Fedora
ton of labor, was the sentence i'm
posed by Justice Wright of the SUI
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia yesterday for contempt of court in
| violating an order previously issued
enjoining them from placing on 'Un-
fair" or I'VE don't patronize" list the
Buck Stove and Range company Of St.
Louis, Mo.
Veteran Leader Weeps.
All three of the defendants were in
court when sentence was pronounced,
and notice of an appeal to the court of
appeals of the District of Columbia
at once was filed, Gompers being re-
leased on $4,000 bond, Mitchell of
$4,000 and Morrison on $4,000. In adj
dition to the wife and daughter of
Gompers, there were present num-
Der of local labor leaders
With tears coursing down his own
cheeks, President Gompers heard the
order of the court which condemned
him to prison for a year. Both Mitch
ell and Morrison seemed stunned by
the sentence.
Labor's Struggle for Right.
Asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounc-
ed, President Gompers declared he
had not consciously violated any law.
There was much he would like to say,
he said, but he could not do it at that
time. He added, however, that this
is a struggle of the working people of
our country and it is a struggle of the
working people for the right. 1t is
struggle of the ages-a struggle of the
men of labor TO throw off some of the
burdens which have been heaped upon
them; to abolish some of the wrongs
and to secure some of the rights too
long Denied"
Mitchell and Morrison confined
themselves to an Endorsement of what
Gompers had said.
President Asked to Act.
The decision of Justice Wright,
which consumed two hours and TWEEN
ty minutes in reading, was one of the
most scathing arrangements that ever
came from the bench in this city.
Whether President Roosevelt will
take any action, as he has been urg-
ed to do in kilograms received from
different labor organizations through
out the country in connection with
Judge Wright's decision, has not been
decided.
The various labor organizations in
protesting to the president against
the sentence urge him to prevent the
incarceration of the labor leaders.

President FalIieres Is Murder
ousiy Attacked While
Taking a Stroll.
AsSA|LANT IS A R0YAl|sT
FalIieres Grappled With His Assailant
and Escaped Without Serious
Injury.

Paris, Dec. 27.-A sensational as.
sault was made on President Fallieree
Yesterday by Jean Mattos, an alleged
rovalist The episode caused the wild.
est excitement in the city. Although
the president escaped without any
| other injury than scratch on the ear
In the scuffle with his assailant, many
wild rumors concerning the affair were
set afloat, all of them magnifying the
seriousness of the injury.
I Grappies With Assaiant.
The attack was made near the Rue
de L'Eterle, while the president was
taking an early morning stroll, accom-
panied by Ramonou, his secretary,
and Col. Lasson, one of the military
attaches at the Elysee. Mattos, who
apparently had been awaiting the ap-
pearance of the president, sprang
upon him suddenly from behind, throw
ing his arms around his neck and try
ing to throw him to the ground. The
president grappled with his assailant
and broke his cane in the struggle.
Col. Lasson and NJ Ramondou dragged
the man away and turned him over to
TWO government detectives who had
been following the party in order to
guard the president from any possible
attack, just such as occurred.
Aligned With Royalists.
The man while being handcuffed eX-
claimed:
i simply wanted to pull the presi-
dents beard. I am not armed"
This was found to be true when he
was searched. Mattos gave his age as
twenty-four, occupation waiter. Medals
and stamps bearing the imprint of the
head OF the duke of Orleans were
found in his possession and also a
card of membership in the royalist Or
der, the Patrie Franchise.
A search Of Mattos rooms revealed
a large amount of royalst literature
showing that he was in close touch
with several of the royalist leaders,
but so far nothing has been discovered
to show that the attack was the re-
suit Of prearranged plot The man
talked in rambling way about "hav-
ing done his duty in behalf Of France. ;"

Black Man Wins.
Previously it had been arranged
that if the police interfered decision
should be rendered On points, and Ref
cree Mcintosh without hesitation de-
clared the big black man the winner,
for all through the fight he had shown
himself Burns master in every style
of fighting. Burns, in an interview
after he had gone to his dressing
room, said:
II did the best I could and fought
hard Johnson was too big and his
reach was too great
Fought Game Battle.
Johnson appeared fresh after the
fight, while Burns eyes were badly
pulled and his mouth swollen to twice
its normal size. The Canadian fought
a game battle and showed indomitable
pluck, but he was no match for the
big Texas black.
The fight was for purse of $4,000,
of which Burns received 100000 and
Johnson $4,000 The ring was a TWEEN
ty-four-foot one and was pitched in the
center of big arena built especially

tween. $4,000 and 10000 persons, and
it kept perfect order throughout the
