CENSUS ENUMERATORS
FOR SCHOOLS OF CITY

At the March meeting OF the school
board the census enumerators will be
elected. II Is required by law that
the census OF school children be taken
during the month OF April, and VI Is
necessary to elect next month so that
the work may be started April /. II
is practically certain that the board
will award the contract to some firm
as was done Tact year. as the work
was much more satisfactory than
when let to an enumerator for each
ward. In 1908 the plan of having am
enumerator for each ward was un-
satisfactory, as over 500 children
were missed. Last year the contract
was let TO Starks & May for so much
for each name, and a close canvas of
the city was made.

80 DIE; 50 INJURED
FACTORY GIRLS TRAPPED IN
BURNING BUILDING IN
NEWARK, NJ. J..
MANY LEAP TO THEIR DEATH
Panic Follows Flash and Frantic
Women Jump From OvercroWded
Fire Escapes to Basement-slaze
Caused by Explosion of Gasoline.

Newark, N. Thirty panic-stricken
girls met their death in burning
factory here Saturday. The victims
Of the fire were either cremated or
lost their lives when they jumped
from the windows and fire escapes OF
the four-story structure.
Twenty Of the twenty-five bodies re-
covered have been identified and five
girls are still missing. They may be
among the unidentified dead or they
may be in the ruins.
Fifty were taken to hospitals, OF
whom two may die. Among the IN
Jured is Joseph E. Sloane, deputy fire
chief, who was caught under the fall
ing wall and buried in bricks and rub
bish. He is badly hurt, but may re-
cover.
The rush Of the flames was SO swift
and threw such terror into the hud-
died working girls on the top story
that the body Of one was found still
seated on a charred stool beside the
machine at which she had been busy
when the first cry of fire" filled her
with fright.
/ Horrible as must have been the
scenes in the smoke of the crowded
upper room, what befell outside in the
bright sunlight was more horrible.
The building was furiously inflam-
mable and the first gush of flames had
cut off all possible escape by the stair
ways. The elevators made one trip,
but took down no passengers, and
never went back. The only exit was
by two narrow fire escapes, the lower
platforms of which were % feet from
the street. @
Onto these overcrowded and steep
lanes, made dancing hot by the jets
from lower windows, pressed forward
a mob of women, blind with panic.
A net had been spread beneath the
windows and the girls began to jump.
They poured out of the windows,
upon the heads of those below them,
and cascaded off the fire escape to the
pavement, so feet below. Some of
them stood in the windows, outlined
against the flames, and jumped clear;
others sprang from the landings, and
still others leaped from the steps
where they stood. The air was full of
them and they fell everywhere-into
the net, on the necks of f1remen, and
Is of them on the hard stone slabs.
When the awful rain ceased there
were eight dead in the streets and the
cutters ran red. Seven more were so
badly crushed that they died in hos
pitfalls. Fifty are still under surgical
care.
Sadie Benson, an employee Of the
Aetna Electric company, was cleaning
an electric light fixture in a gasoline
bath. The gasoline took fire-she does
not know how-and trickled in lit
tie rivulet of fame onto the floor,
where stood full can of gasoline.
The can exploded, and the burning
liquid flew far and wide.

MORAN KNOCKS OUT NELSON
6riton Lands Finishing Blow In
Eleventh Round-Dane Is
Game to Last

San Francisco.-Battling Nelson for
the first time in his fighting career, was
knocked out Saturday beyond all dis
pute by Owen Moran, the sturdy lad
from Birmingham, England in the
presence of an immense crowd of
spectators.
Moran locked out Nelson in the
eleventh round of scheduled 20-round
event, his victory being clean and
leaving no room for argument as to
his complete mastery over the one
time champion. But he was COM
PEELED to drop Nelson five times in
this round, for despite the force OF the
Briton's punches on the point of the
chin, the wonderful fighting spirit of
the Dane ever was present.
One second after the final count had
been tolled off and Referee Ben Selig
above the din shouted "You are out,
Moran wins" Nelson was on his feet
with blood streaming from his mouth
and nose, loudly importuning the
referee to permit him to continue
Moran throughout, from the first
tap Of the gong, proved himself COM
plete master of the situation, and
there was not one round of the eleven
fought that could be credited to Mel
son. The Dane always was the ag-
gressor, although the battle was
scarcely two rounds old before Moran
showed that he, too. could fight at the
Battler's own game. Round after
round Moran would step back, side
step and dance around the aggressive
Nelson, all the while shooting in
straight, forceful punches to the jaw
and head and seldom receiving
punch in return

GRANT WANTS A BIG ARMY
General Favors System of Conscrip

Sees Benefit to Nation.

New York.-In order to bring
this country up to the military
standard of the European powers Mai
Gen. Frederick D. Grant, commander
OF the department of the east, is in
favor OF inaugurating a system of con-
scription in the United States.
He thinks the plan would net in
crease the army expense more than so
per cent, as there are sufficient bar
racks and equipment now on hand to
accommodate the new forces, and he
believes the respect engendered for
law would put an end to mob out
RACES and lessen crime in America.
by increasing our army to $780,
O0O," General Grant said, 1--WE could
in few years have among the peo-
pie engaged in peaceful and gainful
occupations 100000 men trained to
the military service. The present au-
thorized strength of our army is 1907
900, but we have actually in the serv-
ice only about $4,000 men, because
congress has refused to make the APP
preparations needed
In the execution of his scheme, Gen.
eral Grant would divide the country
into military districts and require
each district to provide the enlarged
army every year with a quota OF re-
cruits to be determined by the mill
tary authorities. based upon popula-
ton.
LAS l estimate it, such an increase
In the size of the army would not in
crease it's cost so per cent. In round
figures the present cost of the army
is $123,0OO,000 The addition of 150,-
900 men probably would not run the
cost up to more than S200.000,000."

Receipts of sheep at Omaha make a
new worlds record, more than $4,000
having arrived in one day. This i'm
mense number taxed the stockyard
facilities almost to full capacity. Yet
the announcement of these facts is
coupled with the statement that ''the
market prices showed no tendency to
break" Heretofore it has been alleged
that high rates for meat were due to
the short supply. But with unprece-
denied shipments of sheep this rule
certainly does not apply to at least
one class of meat What is keeping
up the prices? Would it be unfair to
suggest that the packers trust might
throw some light on the situation?
