FIRE DESTROYS
APARTMENT HOUSE
Three Lives Were Lost in the
Flames and Others Serious
ly Injured.

AT an early hour Sunday morning
fire destroyed the Marion Apartments
in Knoxville, and resulted in the loss
of three lives and fatal injuries to Mrs.
julius Raught. Those who lost their
lives were Mrs. Edward Lockett, MI.
julius D. Raught aud Mrs. John
Lister.
Mrs. Lockett and Mr.. Raught perish
ed in the burning building, and their
bodies were recovered by members of
the fire department between four and
five CLOCK Sunday morning. The death
of Mrs. Lister, which occurred at the
Knoxville General hospital about four
O'Clock Sunday morning, was due! to
injuries suffered when she leaped from
the window of her apartment on the
third floor. Her skull was fractured, and
other injuries were Sustained. She was
removed to the hospital as soon as pos
sible, but never regained consciousness.
Not much hope is entertained for the
recovery of Mrs. j. ID. Raught, who al
so leaped from third-story window.
Mrs. Raught was taken to the Knox
vile General hospital, and rendered
every possible aid. 1t was found that
her feet and lower limbs were badly
torn and cut, and it is feared that con-
cussion of the brain and injury to the
spinal cord were suffered, as she has
remained in a semiconscious condition
partially all of the time since she was
injured, although she has been reused
from this state two or three times.
Mr.. Lister, who is assistant agricul-
tural and immigration agent for the
Louisville q Nashville railroad, also
jumped from the window of their
apartment, but he cleared the concrete
walk at the side of the building and
struck on the lawn of Mrs. Jennie D..
Keeling, while his wife fell on the side
walk. A dis1ocated hip and sprained
ankle were the most serious injuries
sustained by Mr.. Lister, who was also
burned on the arms and legs, land slight
ly around the face. He was removed to
the Lincoln Memorial hospital, where
he rested quietly Sunday, and got a
long as well as could be expected, under
the circumstances
Rathcrserious injuries were substain-
ed by Mrs. w. D. Wright, wife of
Chancellor Wright. She had been in
delicate health for several weeks, and,
aside from the nervous shock, was in
jured when she dropped distance of
several feet from the base Of the fire
escape and landed on concrete walk
She was resting quietly at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Asbury Wright yester-
day.
Mr.. Edward Lockett was burned
considerably about the head and face,
while his arms and hands were also
very badly blistered. With his children
Mr.. Lockett is now at the home of his
brother, A. p. Locketl, on West Hill
avenue. Misses Edith and Helen Lock
EFT, although greatly affected by the
terrible shock and exposure, are get
ting along very nicely.
Slight injuries, burns, cuts, bruises
slightly sprained ankles, and similar
hurts were suffered by many ofthe oth'
ers, who escaped from the building
Several of the ladies were in highly
nervous and hysterical condition most
of Sunday, and will not recover entire
ly from the shock for long time.

the man suffering with cold, burns and

He is suffering more from having

great white plague and who will event
ually die from the attacks of the germ.
When you have done this, you may
be interested enough in the welfare
of your own community to inquire
what is being done in other cities,
counties and states. Then you will
probably visit the District Tubercu-
losis hospital at Springfield
You will find that the site of the
hospital is well chosen, consisting Of
SO acres of good farm land. When
this property was purchased for $780,
900 there were a large brick home
stead, several barns and sheds upon
it. The homestead has been convert
ed into a combination administration
and hospital building The officers
have their living and business quar-
ters in the front part of the house
and the rear part has nine bright in
dividual rooms for the patients who
are very low with tuberculosis.
DR.. Henry Baldwin, medical super
intendent Of the institution from its
foundation, believes in substantial but
not in elaborate or extravagant build
ings. He has utilized practically eV
cry building that was on the site
has improved them until at present
they present a very good appearance
and each serves a useful purpose
DR.. Baldwin has added a large shack
for second stage cases of tuberculosis
which will accommodate 20 patients.
This cost, completely equipped, about
$4,000. Ten individual shacks we're
erected last year for incipient cases
of tuberculosis at cost of $175 each
equipped. Ten more are being erect |
ed this summer.
This completes his present equip
ment, Now what is the result Of DR..
Baldwin's effort to keep the atmos-
phere of his institution as nearly like
a home as possible instead of frankly
making it a hospital in the ordinary
sense. Some patients remain for a
year or more and the home-like ap-
peal makes them more contented than

Another State Reform
to Be haugurated

The state administration board has no.
tilted the county auditors of the state that
after January l. all shoes and mems
clothing used at county infruaries must
be purchased from the Mansfield reform
atory The same thing applies to such
shoes and clothing as are used at chill
dren's homes and that is now made at
the reformatory.
1t Is an importa1Es reform. and one
which is going to, Snvr a good effect all
around. In fact, it is in keeping with
the progressive refo rms which are being
pushed in a great rnany states at this time
aud which will eventually prevail in this
state until the prisoners of the state make
all commodities used in state institutions
There has never been any reason why
the state prisoners should not be put to
this kind of work. except that contractors
were able to exert so much influence the
thing could not lie brought about. The
thinking people of all states have known
the evils of the contract system, but it
takes others than the thinkers to bring
about reforms The thinkers can on1v
propose them; it requires the sympathy |
OF those who do not think to put reforms
INTO practice. And it has been upon the
credulity of the unthinldng that the con-
tractors have played to the extent that
many persons supposed there was no
other way of employing prisoners than
by hiring them out to contractors.
We have already abolished contract
labor in this state but we have not as vet
gotten down to the correct system of
handling prisoners. All ofthat will have
to be worked out by tn next legislature
and 1t will be worket out. 1t is a part
of the humanitarian pi ogram advocated

The Menace of the Pro-
tectiDe System

The greatest evil in connection with
the protective tariff is not the financial
robbery it enforces, great as that is, but
the menace to popular government il
has become It tempts its benefciaries
not only to form great trusts but what is
much worse, tempts them to coerce their
employees to vote as they dictate
Since 1896 coercion of employees when
diplomatically done, has been considered
in big business circles quite the proper
thing But such coercion was not sup
posed to take the form of direct threat
by the employer to discharge any em-
ployee who did not vote as he ordered.
The employer was supposed to merely
hint to his workingmen that he would
close his shop if the result of the election
failed to suit him. This bluff was suffic-
lent to scare unthinking or timid workers
for a few campaigns. But the industrial
depression and high cost ofliving opened
the eyes of so many of these to the tariff
fraud that something much stronger was
considered necessary this year to drive
them into line. So in the big protected /
strongholds workers we're openly told
that those who voted wrong would be
discharged. Such threats are contrary
to law, but Big Business is never at a loss
concerning ways to evade such legisla-
ticn. Workingmen were handed cards
containing a supposed conversation be-
tween a man and his employer wherein
the latter warns the former that unless
he votes right he will be the first in line
for dismissal. Thousands of these cards
we're distributed to employees of the tex
lie mills and other'trust-owned factories
n Philadelphia. Probably the same was
lone elsewhere. To vote right" in
.hese cases meant of course to vote for
Taft and the stand-pat congressional
nominees.
The longer the protective system is al I
owed to stand the greater menace it be-
ONES. Even if it were the benefit to
lbor that high protectionists claims it to
e, political liberty would still be too high
price to pay for its maintenance. But
ince it is nothing i'll fact but fraud and
robbery there is no excuse for tolerat-
lg its existence any longer. Big Bust
ess should be freed at once from all :,
.mptation to interfere with the political 4
eedom of its employees.

READS. PARISHIONER OUT
 OF THE CHURCH

New York. March 5.-The Rev. Guy L. Wallis. Rector of St. Paurs Memorial Church. Staten Island. against whom petition of St. Paur's communicants is in the hands of Bishop Greer. has done something never before done by a rector of New York. At a public religious service he read out formal notice of ex- comm unication, the member named himself being present in the congre> gatiOn. The man put out was Ed ward Wanty, until recently a vestry- man. The accommodation notice. read at the service on Sunday, is as follows:
 1. That he caused grave scandal to the faithful by offensive, abusive, and insulting language on the occas- ion of the annual parish meeting, held in the chapel on the first Monday in Advent, 1911.
 2. That he has slandered and mis- represented the teaching of the priest of the congregation and practices of the settled rector of the parish; and
 3. That he has vindictively and maliciously attempted to destroy Christian people by circulating a cer- tain petition in and about the neigh borhood.
 It is an unsual thing in these days, Episcopal restors said yesterday, to excommunicate anybody, and espe- cially to do so in public and from the chancel and without giving prev ious notice to the person to be so treated.
 Edward Wanty is one of the most prominent citizens of Staten Island. Not long ago he was a Republican candidate for the State Legislature. He is Royal Arcanum man, and member of a half dozen similar or ganizations on the island. Fellow members of these bodies are standing by him. The contention is over the ritualistic services maintained in St. Paul's Church by the new rector, and teachings by him that are, it is as- serted, contrary to the constitution of the Episcopal Church of this coun- try.
