CONSTANT MENACE
TO CHILDREN'S LIVES
United States Bureau of Education
Makes a Report Which Says That
Cities Which Have Suffered Are Co
ing on in the Same Old Way.

WASHINGTON. May 20. - School
houses that are considered fire traps
continue to be erected throughout the
countrv despite the tragedies of the
past, and the United States bureau of
education today issued an appeal for
better construction of buildings i'm
which the youth of the land are to be
educated.
Ohio, Massachusetts and Kansas are
pointed out as states seeking safer
construction and better safeguards
against fire horrors in schools. The
remainder of the country, in the oriu-
ion Of the bureau, fails to take the
necessary precautions.
The bureau 5 report says: ..Out Of
238 school buildings noted for one
month in 1913, only % are reported
with fre-proof specifications Cities
that have just had destructive school
fires appear to he building in the same
old way"
The bureau condemns emphaticuIly
what it terms gingerbread school
houses that are constant menace to
the lives of school children.

Head of Transport Work CTS Union of Dublin At tempts to Make Speech in London and Wild Disor- der Follows
RECENTLY FREED
 FROM PRISON
Predicted He Would Make Speech That Would Pre- cipitate General Strike Throughout All of Great Britain
rAssoc1ArEn PRESS nIsPArcHl

LONDON. Nov l9.-The first ap- Tearance as an orator in London of James Larllin. head of the transport workers union of Dublin. or King Larkin." as he is now dubbed by lis adherents here. led to wild scenes of disorder in Albert hall tonight where several thousand people had gathered to hear him.
 When Larkin was liberated week ago from the Mountjoy prison where was serving q seven months term for sedition. he announced that ne was going to England ito raise the fiery cl loss" and he predicted q general strike throughout Great Britain. There was much interest therefore in what he might say tonight.
 A large body of students from col lcges connected with the London university made an organized at tempt to upset the meeting and fierce Tioting both outside and inside the Fall followed. \ large force of police was requisitioned and free fights re- suited
 Many persons were injured before the meeting could proceed. for the students successfully stormed the entrance and gained admission to the hall. Further fighting took place in side and sticks and umbrellas were freely used. Fireworks were let off amid scenes of pandemonium and for time there was danger of a panic. The organist continued play ing. however. and the audience began singing God Save the King" and Rule. BTittania.
 When order was partly restored, Larl1in went on with his speech. which was mainly devoted to a de-
 unciation of the government in con nection with the Dublin strike

Outllned PlQm
 Of COmN1lttee
 Ou Resolutions

l. We approve the general plan of a bond issue for the purpose of the early construction and maintenance of system of permanent highways within Maricopa county and favor the general location of such high ways as outlined in the attached re- port of engineers under date of No vember 3, 1913. We believe however that the type of roads to be con structed should be selected later by the board of supervisors and high way advisory committee, hereafter referred to.
 II. We believe that in addition to the cost of the proposed roads outlined in the engineers report and amount ing to $1S3,603 that additional money should be provided to cover the con struction of an increased mileage of permanent highways not covered in the engineers report and that also at least $I00.G0 shall be provided by the bond issue for the immediate improvement of grading and drain age of the present dirt highways of Maricopa county
 IT. In view of the foregoing needs. we believe an issue of highway bonds of not less than $125G.000 will. prove necessary and We recommend, as soon as complete plans have been prepared. the calling of an election to present to the tax payers the

 The Indians have been thrilled with the songs and dances of their medicine men, among whom are the four rene gades sought by the government for larceny, bigamy and assault.
 Tonight numerous signal fires blaze at various points of the Indian strong hold. Indian police doing scout duty reported several Indian runners had left Beautiful mountain for remote Icints on the reservation to urge oth- CT Indians of other tribes to join the band of renegades and settlers along the San Juan river, and traders in remote points Of the reservation have appealed to Agent Shelton for pro tection. fearing the Indians may att tempt an offensive movement before the arrival of the cavalry.

serious difference of opinion developed. Local interests were all thrown into pool each delegate assuming that the wisdom of the conference was more to be trusted than the judgment of any member of it.
 Chairman Orme took occasion to voice his appreciation of the broad minded spirit that had been shown throughout. Mir. Hotchkiss moved a vote Of thanks to the committee on resolutions for the work it had done and for the production of a report so satisfactory to all sections of the county. The sentiment of the confer ence was expressed in vigorous ap- plause of the motion.
 On the motion of Chairman Nouer of the board of supervisors, the thanks of the conference were voted the board of trade and it's secretary, Harry Welch. who had been a booster for good roads in and out of season. Fol lowing the vociferous adoption of motion by MT. Hotchkiss for calling the conference, an adjournment was taken and one of the most remarkable gatherings for the upbuilding of this valley was brought to an end
 The attendance had been larger than the most sanguine had expected. Every district described in the informal call was represented except two-HigIey and Palo Verde. Though discussion had practically ended with the after noon session of Tuesday, most of the out-of-toWn members returned yester- day through the rain to hear the final report and when the delegates finally separated it was with the understand ing that each was committee to work for the success of the bonds and the good roads system.
 Whatever apprehension might have been felt that so large a sum as it was proposed to raise might not be wisely spent was removed by the provision in the report for the appointment of an advisory committee to act with the board of supervisors

question of issuing $1250000 of Mar icopa county highway bonds, draw ing interest not to exceed , per cent and running for forty years. but with definite provision for the gradual payment of these bonds after twenty years, and we recommend that they be sold during a period of three years, as the work of highway con- struction progresses and in such blocks and at such times as the board of supervisors may decide
 ". That this important question of construction of permanent high ways may be thoroughly studied and without delay a complete and de- finite plan providing for the scien- tific and economical construction of such permanent highways presented to the people upon which they may vote. We recommend the early ap- pointment by the board of super visOrs of non partisan committee of seven to be known as the advisory highway committee of Maricopa county. who acting in cooperation with the board of supervisors. shall at once conduct thorough investi- gation as to the cost, desira bility and permanence of various types of roads and who shall prepare q plan showing the definite location Of SucD roads. the specifications under which said roads shall be built and outline plan for the construction under competent supervision, of such roads.
 V. We believe that the advisory high way committee, acting with the board of supervisors should be granted by the county, such funds as may be necessary to promptly se- cure the necessary engineering ad- vice and to make such investigations of the construction of permanent highways in other sections as they deem desirable to the end that when the people are called upon to vote upon this bond issue they may vote with the fullest knowledge of the same.
 We further believe that the con- struction of a system of permanent highways as outlined above, will prove a most excellent investment | for the people of Maricopa county. 1 LIN B. ORME
