Senator Jones whipped off bis

strike Funk.
Immediately other senators were
mixed in the fray in efforts to separate
the combatants.
Senator Edward Beall, Of Alton,
dragged Funk back, while Senator
Samuel A. Ettleson, Of Chicago, threw
his arms around Jones and pushed him
10 a corner Of the room.
Senators Jones, Ettleson and Hen
son then bolted the caucus. Jones
vas trembling with emotion and for
several minutes could not voice his
rage against Senator Funk.
Jones later gave out statement.
n which he announced that the fight
between conservatives and progress
sive was thrown wide open and de-
clared that he would stump The entire

vantion to amend tEs state constitu-

eating his children, but managed 10
grope his way across the building, a
distance OF 20 feet, and get out side

ali other dlrectlonS.
The fire started in the basement,
probably from an overheated furnace,
and burned the roof off without dis
turbing the stage interior. Only half
the seats in the orchestra circle were
destroyed, and the damage to the front
OF the house was largely from smoke
and water.

NEW PHASE OF RACE SUICIDE.

4 new phase Of the race suicide
problem was explained yesterday after
noon BY DR.. 7. Alexander MacNicholl,
surgeon at the Red Cross Hospital, OF
New York, in an address on Statistics
on the Use of Alcohol Among School
Children in New York., before the
American Society for the Study OF
Alcoholic and Other Narcotics. DR..
MacNicholl said that for every child OF
total abstainiDg parents that died
under two years of age five children
Of drinking parents died, and pursuing
the argument he inferred from the
mortality statistics of last year that
there we're $4,000 unnecessary deaths
among children under two years OF
age, J.,
These were sacritces," he said
earnestly, TO modern humanlty's
appetite for alcohol. "
DR.. MacNicholl referred to the
paper read by Dr.. B. G. keister,
superintendent of Home Sauitorium,
Roanoke. Va, on Wednesday afternoon
in which be censured society women
for their fondress for spirituous liquors
This degeneracy in adults is horrible,
indeed" said DR.. MacNicholl, but
how infinitely worse is the condition
of our country when We learn that
over one-half of the school children Of
America are addicted to the drink evil
and are following a promising road to
ultimate habitual inebriety.
