NUNS DIE TO
SAVE ORPHANS
All But Two of 81 Children
Brought to Safety.
PLUNGE INTO FIERY RUINS.
Heroic Work OF Nuns Saves So In
mates OF ST. Johns Orphan
age, San Antonio,
Texas.

San Antonio.-Six Sisters of Char
ity of the Incarnate Word gave up
their lives to save the children in
trusted to their care, when St. Johns
Orphanage was swept by fire. One
orphan, a 12-year-old boy, met death,
while another, about 8 years old, is
missing Two women employees of
the institution are injured seriously,
but may recover.
But for the heroic self-sacrifice of
the nuns many more of the children
would have died in the building, which
had been considered fire trap. There
were 81 inmates Of the orphanage,
ranging between the ages Of and T..
To the thirst which comes to chill
dren in the night some little ones at
tribute their escape. A. little fellow
named Billy" according to small
survivor, awoke with the desire for a
drink of water uppermost in his mind.
He saw the fire and smoke and
thought he was dreaming; then he
realized what was happening and
aroused the Sisters and his little COM
rades with his cries.
It was following this the meek-eyed
Sisters of Charity demonstrated what
lion hearts beat beneath their sombre
garb.
The death of each of the sisters
was directly due to their various eff
forts to save two missing children.
After it appeared that all the
orphans had been led from the burn
ing building, the nuns discovered that
two babies were unaccohnted for.
They continued their search until safe
egress was cut OH, except in the case
of the mother superior, who, after
reaching place of safety went back
into the burning building to try to
save TIE child whose frightened face
appeared through the smoke at win
dow.
Three Sisters escaped. Instructed
to pilot the first column of frightened
children out of danger, they gained
the ground in time to escape the crash
of falling walls.

No date has as yet been set for the

Engineering Experts Recall Accident
On Battieship Delaware.

On 7attteship Delaware.
Washington.-Low in the boiler
undoubtedly caused the fatal accident
on the Vermont, Navy engineering ex-
perts believe. The accident is beliey-
ed to have been similar to that which
occurred on the battleship Delaware
about Is months ago, resulting in the
loss of four lives. In that case, al
though the few survivors of the boiler
room force asserted that the glass
gauge showed the presence of ample
water in the boiler, examination of
the wreck disclosed the fact that the
tubes and part of the header" which
conveys the water from the tubes to
the steam drum had turned blue. This
is sure indication that they had been
submfttd to almost a red heat without
water. A boiler with banker fires is
seldom as closely watched by the
-water-tendersr as one supplying live
steam, hence such accidents are more
easily possible in cases of that kind

NEW USE FoR SCHOOL, HousEs
May BE Utilized As Employment
Offices.

Washington. Utilization OF the
school houses of the country as en-
ployment offices for those out of work
has been taken under consideration by
the United States Bureau of Education,
which has approved any movement.
that will make the school houses more
general in their sphere of usefulness,
Prof. John R. Commons, Of the Wis
consin Industrial Commission, is one
of the principal advocates of the plan
to utilize the schools as labor ex-
changes.
The proposed plan contemplates the
opening Of regular channel Of inter-
communication between the schools of
a state with reference to the unem-
ployed. Through the directors of the
social center connected with the
schoolhouses the man out of work, on
registering the fact of his lack OF en-
ployment, could be placed in, touch
with employers over broad field.
Educators and scientists believe the
organization of such system would
do vast amount of good in populariz-
ing education.
while educators have no way Of
finding out" says the bureau in
statement just issued, Just how far
the suggestion will be adopted, the
fact that proposal like this receives
attention proves how widespread is
the sentiment in favor of any and all
projects involving wider use of the
school plant for the benefit of the
community"
The study of children in schol, to
aid and advise them in choosing their
life work, also is advocated.
