College Hall, Most Pretent-
ious Building, Destroyed
BY Fire.
$50 PERSONS FLEE
By Fortunate Chance No One Was In.
iured-EstiMate Of Damage Is
Placed ut x1,:i)O,OOO.

Wellesley. Mass. March 1.-Two
hundred and fifty Wellesley students
and 100 other persons, including men,
bers OF the faculty and servants, fled
for their lives early today when fire
destroyed College Hall, the largest
and most pretentioH Ut the buildings
in the college group. No one was
injured. The loss is estimated at ST.
500, 0OC.
The college sessions have been tenn
porarily suspended and special trains
were made up to take the girls to
their homes. Practically all OF those
who had rooms in the building lost
their personal possessions.
The superb behavior OF the young
women probably prevented heavy
loss Of life or injury to many who
grouped their way through smoke
filled halls and down stairways and
fire escapes to safety
College Hall had commanding
site on a hill just east of Lake Waben.
The cornerstone was laid in 1871. The
building was OF brick and stone, with
interior wooden fittings. 1t was five
stories high.
The building was divided into DOR
mitories. administrative offices and
quarters for servants. Three hundred
and fifty perso/ slept mere last
night, ESQ stude,., s, so members OF
the faculty and so maids employed by
the faculty and students.
Miss Charlotte Donnell OF Wiscas-
set. Me-, and Miss Virginia Moffatt
of Orange. N. J.. both seniors, were
the heroines Of the fire. They occu-
pied rooms on the third floor, under
the laboratory, where the fire origi-
mated, supposedly from spontaneous
combustion. The glare of the flames
aroused them.
Miss Donnell ran down flight Of
stairs and started the fire gong on
the second floor. Miss Moffatt hur-
ried along the halls pounding on every
door. She did not yell Fire." but
commanded, Put on your wraps
quickly"
Soon the halls were crowded with
startled young women. Some carried
personal effects in their arms. but the
greater number had not waited to
save their belongings.
Although the halls were filled with
smoke, the girls formed in line and
marched from the building. The col
lege volunteer fire brigade was early
in action and made sure that none Of
the sleepers were left to the flamea.
Fire companies from Newton, Natik
and Needham responded to an alarm,
but were unable to stay the flames.
President Ellen Pendleton announc-
ed that the college would be closed
until the end of the usual spring vaca-
ton, April 10.

Immigrants May
Auoid Arizona

PHOENIX, Oc ober l6th.-Recent
reports from abroad indicate that
one result of the present European
war will be an increased immigration
to America, particularly Of the very
desirable German ement, There
is nsiderab.e speculation here as
to whether Arizona will receive her
much needed share of this benefit,
owing to the proposed 80 per cent
citizenship law.
Californians with interests here
are also concerned over the above
and some of cur other proposed
legislation. B W. Sine! air, of San

says: Il cannot get white men to

DIVISION OF GILA COUNTY

One of the most serious PROPOSE
tions to come before the people OF
Arizona at the election on the Sd of
November, is the division of Gila
county. If a majority of the votes
in the State is YES the county is
divided, with nine-tenths of the
voters outside of Gila county not
knowing why they voted for division.
Our theory is that no one living
outside of a county should have any
voice in saying how, when or where
that county should be divided.
To say that the people living out
side of Gila county should have a
voice in making two counties where
now there is but one, is the same as
saying that the people of Globe.
Clifton or Morenci should have the
right TO vote on franchises or other
public movements in the town gov
ernments of Pima, Thatcher or SAT-
ford.
The proposition of people in other
counties voting yes to divide GiIa or
any other county is unfair and un
American. 1t is on par with peo-
pie asking the president of the
United States to get in and stop the
European war.
If Gila county is to be divided,
let the people of Gila county do it,;
and the only way to do this is for
every voter outside of Gila county
to vote NO. Then ask the next
legislature to frame such law as
will permit each county to settle its
own difficulties.
If the other thirteen counties dip
into this county division of Gila and
by their votes divide her at the com
ing election. there will probably be
initiative petitions on the ballot at
the next election for the division of
the other thirteen counties, and
some of them to be divided into
three or four. Is there voter out
side of the county affected who has
the nerve to say that he has a right
to vote yes on such an absurd prop
osition?
If the division of Gila county car
ries by the votes outside of that
county. in two years from now the
people of Cochise county will ask
for the division of Graham county,
by cutting off the west side of the
Graham mountains and annexing
that territory to Cochise county.
How would the people of Graham
county like to have this little
stunt" pulled off on them by thir-
teen other counties. Don't you
think we have intelligence enough
to manage our own affairs? For
many years the people of Cochise
have longed to annex the west side
of the Graham mountains to their
county, and If we of Graham county
vote in favor of the division of Gila
county and defeat James Quinn, of
Klondyke, for supervisor of Graham,
we are entitled to expect that the
people of the State will be called
upon at the next election to give the
western portion of Graham county
to Cochise county, depriying us of
about one-third of our taxable
wealth, and that portion of the
county which is very inexpensive to
the county treasury.
