HAS HEARTY SUPPORT
OF MAYOR HAUSSLING.
BY MAYOR HAUsSLING.

1.-THE Introduction of a bill
regulating the sale of cocaine will
be a good piece of legislation. and
one that the records of our pub
lie institutions and police courts
show Is needed. The crusade
started in this direction by THE
EVENING STAR Is commend
able and receives my hearty sup
port, and I trust that the bill
about to be introduced will not
meet the fate of a number of pre-
decessors and die in committee.
"I recognize that the cocaine
and morphine habits are life de-
stroyers and make crimInals OF
the best who become addicted to
the use of the insidious drugs. l
know that the State law regulat-
ing the sale of poisons covers the
sale of the opiates in question,
but by attaching penalties and
enforcing them vigorously, good
result will be achieved, and many
who are now on the downward
path will be saved.
mo punishment can be severe
enough for d person vino sells the
drugs, In many cases as it has
been proven in this city, to
minors. and I repeat that any
measures which will abate this
serious evil will receive my
hearty support"

GRILL SAVES PUPILS
IN GRAND RAPIDS FIRE.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March s.
Grand Rapids today was threatened
with a repetition of C~leveland's tragedy
of yesterday, on an. even larger scale.
Fire started in the laboratory Of the
High School while 1900 pupils
were in the midst of the morning work.
The signal for the fire drill was given
and the children marched out in per-
feet order. The building was emptied
in two and one-half minutes.
The Central High School is over
crowded and the stairways inadequate
and fears of, a possible. panic have long
been felt, but the fire drill today proved
effective. The fire did comparatively
little damage.
, That there was no panic in the school
was probably due to the fact that a
professional photographer had been
taking fashlight, pictures in the corri-
dor of, the high school "a few minutes
before, the fire began. and the children
had been warned not to be alarmed.
When the fire alarm. came, and the
drill began, they thought, therefore.
that it was for another picture, and all
of them marched ont quietly.

Buildings Declared to

Commissioner Fred femme. head of the
special committee of the Orange Board
of Education having in charge the
work of providing additional school IA
~cilities for Orange children, today.
Here in Orange are conditions which
will require immediate correction, and
the special committee at a meeting to-
night will recommend that the School
Board mex Tuesday arrange to put
fire escapes on every school building
In the city.
why just think what would hap
pen in some of our Orange schools
should fire break out In a structure.
There are no fire cap of any conse-
quence on n of the buildings, and
here we have antiquated structures in
Day street and Lincoln avenue, the lat
ter one four stories high, which would
make a death harvest almost assured IL
fire should break out.
THE only school in the city modern
in its fire-proofing arrangements Is
the p%arochial school at Columbus Hall.
Something should be done, and at once
to provide adequate protection to the
thousands of children attending ses-
ions daily in the city public schools"
officials Stirred Up.
The special committee has been con-
sidering the need of additional facili-
ties for some time, and the holocaust
OF. little children in the Ohio school yes
terday has stirred up the men to a
sterner sense of their responsibility.
Commissioner femme said the commit
tee would consider plans for a new
structure in Lincoln avenue tonight and
keep in mind the possibilities of dan
ger from fire.
why. the Lincoln avenue building
now utilized is an old structure so
porous that smoke would quickly fiji
the rooms and confuse the children"
said he. land the darkened main hall
would add to the difficulties should the
children be required to, nov from
their class rooms in hurried order.
And the Day street building, with its
four stories and no escapes would fur
nish a difficult problem for the prin-
cipal and teaching staff in getting the
little children to the street and safety"

schools OF West Orange, but Superin-
tendent Alton II. Sherman has always
insisted on fire drills being held in the

A~NT|-COCA|NE BILL
To Be CHAMP|ONED
BY ESSEX SHERIFF
Continued from First page,

of the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
"Fourth-This act shall take
effect Immediately"
Sheriff Sonmer made the following
vigorous statement to THE EVENING
STAR today regarding its anti-cocaine
bill:
1.-THE statute now prohibits the sale
of cocaine and proprietary or patent
remedies containing cocaine, except
upon prescription. The penalty fixed
by this statute Is a fine of not more
than 800 or Imprisonment in the county
jail for "a term of three months, or
both, at the discretion of the court.
THE statute regulating the practise
of pharmacy prohibits the retailing or
dispensing of cocaine and opium and
its alkaloid by nyone except regis
tered pharmacist or under the supervi-
sion of such pharmacist. The penalty
provided by this act is a fine of 800,
with costs, to be sued fol and recoy-
cred by and in the name of the Board
of Pharmacy of the State of New
Jersey.
1T must be apparent that these pro-
visions are inadequate to enable the
courts and prosecuting officials to cope
with the growing evil of the indiscrim-
mate distribution and use Of these
substances.

I. She hurried over to the building
md saw the flames licking around the
iled-up children in the doorway. The
5oman became distracted. She hurled
.erself upon the men keeping h
crowd away from the door. They would
not let her pass. When the FIRE ap-
paratus came, the wagon did not carry
a ladder long enough to reach the sec
ond-story window. Mrs. Sprung hur-
ried to her home and brought. back a
s%tepladder. She placed it at a win
dow. and was madly ascending into the
flre-flled room when a fireman stopped
her. She fought to get up the ladder.
Let me GO" she screamed. MY boy
is dying in there, and I want to be
with him. They led her to her home,
and placed friends to guard her.
Stin urged Children On.
OF the nine teachers, all escaped but
Miss Katherine Weller and Miss Grace
Fiske. Miss Fiske was IN the first
floor. She was carried from the build
ing. still breathing, and hurried to
Chenille Hospital, where she died just
before Miss Weller taught a
class on the second floor. She persisted
with many OF her pupils. Her body was
recovered.
How Miss Fieske died will probably
never be known. One of her pupils
who escaped said he remembered see
ing her trying to gather the children to-
gether as the flames burst through the
doors leading to the corridor. Her
room was the first to be reached by
! the fire coming from the basement, and
there was hardly al i~nstant's warming
of their impending fate. 1t is supposed
that Miss Fiske died in attempting to
hurry her pupils to the hre-escapc.
The flames must ave caught her before
| she could reach the window.
The teachers. struggling at rear
entrance to rescue some of the chill
dren, caught a glimpse of Miss Weller
standing among the OF little ones
! on the stairway. She seemed to be
