allowed 20 see anyone, except his
counsel, until after his trial by the
military court.

but Il is thought that IL will take
place within week. as Madero de-

that Reyes be given the extreme pen

TOLEDO, o.. Dec. 29.--The real in

man OF the Ohio Republican commit

Of Senator LaFollette developed here

conference with the Republican state
chairman. Neither Brown nor LaFol-
lette would discuss details of their
first conference behind closed doors
last night, but both deny any deal,

ence, however. That is admitted by
the state chairman, who recently de-
clared President Taft could not carry
Ohio, but was later read out OF the
Ohio progressive movement by Secre-
tary John ID. Fackler because OF his
continual talk OF Roosevelt sentiment
The word that has gone out is that
Brown tried to make peace with the
progressiyes.
II made no pledges, deals or over
lures OF any kind" Brown said today,
but that he has declared he will sup
port LaFollette If the latter is NOM
mated stands undenied. Similar
statements came from the LaFollette
party and all admit politics was dis
cussed.
LaFollette held an audience of more
than 1000 persons in rapt attention
for more than two hours last night.
drawing frequent applause. Scores
were turned away unable to get with
In sound OF the speakers voice while
others stood packed in aisles, perched
on window lodges and stairs, and
iiamming the halls The audience was
composed OF just plain everyday folks!
A few came I'm automobiles, but many
were from distant rural suburbs.
LaFollette said in the course of his
speech:
II do not know just what hour the
clock is going to strike for the birth

FROM DEATH IN FLAMES

covers House Ablaze; Chill
dren Carried Out Asleep.

Seven people might have been burn
cd TO death in a fire at Buchanan
and Twenty y-fourth-sts., shortly before
| o'clock Friday morning, but for the
timely discovery OF the blaze by an
unknown young man. who chanced to
be passing the building. He saw the
flames in the basement and quickly
aroused the two families living on the
second story. They had to make a
hasty exit, IL being necessary to carry
out three sleeping children. Two of
the latter suffered from smoke, but il
is not thought that they VIII expert
ence any serious results. They are
twins, two months old, children of Ed
ward j. Kukla, owner OF the burned
building.
The fire started from an overhead
ed furnace and spread with great
rapidity. Mr.. Kukla, after being
aroused by the unknown passer-by,
got his wife and children out, the
little ones being carried across the
street to a bakery. He then called
the fire department by telephone.
John Robbins, with his wife and
eight-year-old son, Alton, lived in one
of the two upper apartments. They
all got out safely.
The lower part of the building was
occupied by the owner as a dry goods
and shoe store He carried a stock
valued at $4,000. and he figures he
will lose heavily, as he carried only

WANTS SCHOOLS USED.
FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS
John T. Tuomey's Request to
Board of Education Referred
To Committee.

John ]. Tourney appeared before the
Board OF Education, Thursday night,
in furtherance of movement to have
the public schools thrown open to the
people for neigffborhoed discussions
OF civic questions. His request was re-
ferred TO the committee on real es-
tate and school buildings. on motion
of Inspector Small. II the board takes
favorable action, ii will be on the un-
derstanding that religious and politi-
cal discussions be tabooed. The
Thompson-Hally ordinance has been
mentioned as one of the things that
might be discussed in these school
meetings, but there seems to be dis
position on the part OF some OF the
members to classify IL under the head
OF politics.
The discussion over Mr.. Tuomey's s
proposition developed the fact that
there are several public schools not
equlpped, with artificial lighting facil
itiess and these would, therefore. MOI
be available for meetings unless those
using the schools provided their own
lights, which the board would hardly
stand for. Ii would be too dangerous
to take lamps into the buildings, the
inspectors think
President Robertson explained to
Mr. Tuomey that the schools are fire.
Quently used now for meetings of vari-
Gus sorts, the requests being acted
on by the board. His plan contem-
plates more general use OF the build
ines.
Supt. Martindale submitted com
Ii unication, in which he complained
that there were too many requests for
the use of school rooms at night by
pupils and organizations, for the pur-
pose OF making money, and declared
that rule No. 113, regulating such
meetings, was being constantly vio-
lated
The superintendent reported that
53 ,S95 baths we're taken in the schools
this year, an increase of 11,50S over
LAST year.

home OF J. A. Hill. local banke>,
who is in Arizona with his wife, a
man who gave the name of Gus Erick-
son, of Toledo, confessed 10 having

may explain numerous burglaries that
have occurred in Pontiac recently.
The officers think the intruder was
preparing to ransack the Hill resi-
dence, but a burglar alarm, which
sounded when he broke open a door
in the main part OF the house, proved
his undoing.

SOUTHERN METHODISTS
GIVE GREAT RECEPTION.

Last Thursday evening the good wo-
men of the Munsey Memorial Metho-
dist church were responsible for one of
the most delightful social functions
this fruitful city has ever known. The
occasion was the going of Rev. s. B.
Vaught, the retiring pastor, and the
coming of Rev. w. NJ. Morrell, the
newly appointed minister. The hand
some edifice had been artistically deco
rated in the rich hues of the autumn
season, the most glorious of all the
year. A splendid literary program was
carried out with Rev. Vaught as mas
ter of ceremonies. The musical pro-
gram was featured by solos by Mrs.
John Copenhaver and T. B. Cook.
After the invocation by Rev. Gilbert
Glass, OF the First Presbyterian church,
addresses of welcome were made by
Rev. w. S. buchanan, of the Christian
church, on behalf of the ministers as
sociation; Mrs. Mel I'll. Weller for the
Foreign Missionary Society," Mrs, s. B.
White for the Home Missionary Socie-
ty; Haskell II. Dyer for the Sunday
school; DR.. {. j. Broyles for the board
of stewards; George Wade for the Ep-
worth League.
Following this mental feast the
throng of guests repaired to the club
room, where the handiwork of the la
dies was shown in the most attractive
manner possible. Until ten o'clock the
happy guests gathered around the ar
tistic tables and consumed gleefully |
the p ,latable lunch that had been pre-
pared for all who love the Lord, and
several persons proved their love to the
of all. 1t was an old fash
Toned Southern Methodist gathering
where every body was happy and well
fed.
Here's hoping for many happy re-
turns of the season.
