room open inward and they had to
pass close to the fire to pass from the
room. These children were followed
by the "a children in the fourth and
fifth grades on the same floor, Miss
Florence Allen being their teacher
Last came the % children on the first
floor, those in the second and third
grades. who are taught by Miss Eve

OF Kansas, who led the fight 10 strike
from the omnibus war claims bin the
French spoliation claims, amounting to
$4,000. There were q votes on each
side, but it required a majority Of votes
to strike out these claims. which resulted
in the loss Of tine motion. Ali of the in
smgents voted against the spoIiation
claims. while regular Republicans and
Democrats divided without regard to
party lines.
Senator Bristow declared that it was
unpopular TO make such a fight as he has
been conducting for the past three days
in opposition to the French spoliation
claims, but having been appointed a
member Of the committee that consid-
cred them, he said he could not fail in
his duty to expose such legislation
He maintained that the claims could
not be defended on the floor of the Sen

pass but for the fact that they are linked
with the Southern war claims. Senator
Martin resented this remark, declaring
that the claims were just. and ap-
proved by the committee on their merits.
