ST. LOUIS, March with nine
bodies recovered and 81 missing, the

than 80.
At the clubs temporary headquar-
tiers In the Press Club rooms officials
of the Athletic Club are holding out
no hope to relatives and friends that
any Of the 81 persons reported miss

told that the probability is that all

true, the death list will total So.

More than two score were injured
in the fire which destroyed the
club, one of the finest institutions
of its kinds in the UHited States.
and the building occupied by the
Boatmen's Bank A hundred menFas
far as known, were in the club build
ing when the fire started. The loss TO
property is about 100000. The ruins
are being searched for bodies. Five
bodies were recovered early, and four
more at noon. The list of identified
dead includes:
JOHN MARTIN RICKEY, Chicago,
treasurer of the Ford Manufacturing
Company
JAMES RILEY, So, st. Louis.
C. F. KOSHER. 40, manager of
the Ludlow Saylor Wire Company,
st. Louis.
All of these men were killed in
leaping from the upper floors of the
eight-sto clubhouse.
Mordecai Brown Safe.
For some time it was feared that
Mordecai Brown, manager of the st.
Louis Federals, Ind been lost, but
later Mr.. and Mrs, Brown were found
at a hotel
The fire is believed to have started
in the main dining room on the third
floor of the main building Nearly all
the guests and residents of the club
had retired when the fire started
about 80 a. m. A few guests were
in the lobby. These, with Manager
and Mrs. Magill, went through the up
per halls and awol1e everyone. When
the guests emerged from their rooms,
every hall was filed with smoke
The third, fourth and fifth floors
were ablaze before the first alarm was
given. Less than an hour later fire
was shooting from every window in
the building, and at 2:45 o'clock the
roof collapsed
All Injured in Escape.
None of the persons in the building
escaped without some hurts. The
most seriously injured were rushed 10
the City Hospital. Others were cared
for in the St, Regis and other nearby
hotels.
The firemen early gave up hope OF
saving the Athletic Club and the
Boatmen's Bank Building, and devoted
their entire efforts to saving guests
who we're about to leap out of upper
windows, and to preventing the spread
of the flames.
Boatman's Bank officials said at
the close of the business on Saturday
that there was s1,S49,449 in currency
and $27464 in coin in two large
spherical safes, which are in a heav-
lily constructed vault of steel set in

ONLY GULLS


once put big fish on sloping rock
near the waters edge, to see what
the gulls would do.
A soaring scavenger soon spied it
and swooped for a feast.
Selling the fish in his talons, the
voracious bird tapped its great wings
and screamed greedily as he tried to
make off with his find.
But the fish was too heavy to be
lifted. The only result of repeated
attempts was that the fish began to
slide toward the water and soon fell
in with splash.
Diving after it, the gull brought it
to the surface, and then began a
curious spectacle. Time after time
the gull hoisted the fish as high as
his strength would permit, only to
weaken and let the fish fall again.
The noise attracted other gulls and
a battle ensued. First one gull and
then another would dive for the fish,
lift it part way above the waters sur
face and be set upon by other gulls
until the fish slipped back. a sacri-
fee TO jealousy and greed.
For almost an hour this struggle
lasted, ending only when all the guIls
were tired out The prize was lost.
A fraction of the energy thus spent
in scrapping over an object too big
to handle would have secured for
each gull an ample meal of smaller
fish, with which the lake abounded. .
Or, little cooperation instead of
so. much crazy competition would
have lifted the fish to a safe place
on dry land, where all the gulls could
have Toasted at their leisure.
But they were only gulls; hungry,
unthinking, gluttonous gulls.
Of course, men would have known
better.

A Larger and Higher Vision

At the recent meeting of Salem County
Board of Agriculture in Woodstown Mr..
II. w. Sinner, supervising principal of
Woodstown School gave a timely and in
teresting address OH the educational issue
which is now upper-most in Woodstown,
as well as in Penns Grove. His new
point was timely from another angle.
The topic was ga School with a Perfect
Score" He said in part.
New Jersey has risen in rank in the
last four years. Ii farm lands are to rise
in value, our country schools must be i'm
proved. Let us consider as a dream a
school with a perfect score. With most
OF us, loving thoughts cluster about ''tIe
little red school house." This "little red
school house, has grown taller and broad
er.It is no longer confined within thelim-
its of the three RS. The building itself
should be large, beautiful, dignified in
construction, and set in the midst Of
ample grounds. Aschool built fora century
of service must be strong and large, and
must have Fairgrounds large enough to
give the children all needed forms of ex-
ercises.
The city is drawing from the farm
many oil their most promising boys. 10
check their exodus, the country schools
must teach them how to live and how to
make a living.
Service is the keynote of the century.
He is least an American who has failed
to catch this dominant note. 1t is no
small service for a teacher to impress up
a child's mind a splendid personality.
The mind is in the school for ages, but
on the soul for eternity therefore, the big
red school house should be the centre OF
community life.
To summarize: a school with a perfect
score will have these points. First, ample
grounds; second, the building, ample but
stately, out in the open with air and sum
shine all around it, strongly built and
with a sympathetic course Of study that
will furnish manual training as well as
classical, teaching those things which
contribute to a good, healthy body, alert,
sure mind and pulse, steadiast spirit;third,
training for service; fourth, teachers who
love the children and the work; fifth,
wisdom, A training that leads from
learning and doing to wisdom. high
ideals, serving as a sacred trust, worthy
citizenship and character. Sixth, good
neighborliness. Having given all the
abo We things to children, the big red
sc hool house should moved forward to
serve the community by being a common
center where all things, physical, mental,
social, patriotic and spiritual, can be car
ried on.
A rising vote of thanks was rendered
Mr.. Sinner for his excellent address.

Congressman Browning Blocked
Appropriation.

The regular appropriation bill report
ed from the committee to Congress con.
tanned an item stewards extension
Of powder factory $5O0,00O."
s1he Government has a smokeless
powder plant at Indian Head, on the
Potomac river in Maryland, some miles
from Washington. About $I,3OO,OOO
has been invested there since the first
appropriation of $93, 727 were appropri.
ated in 1899. When this new plant was
started by the Government to engage
in making its own powder the DUPONT
Powder Company gave the government
free access to their formula and models
for machinery, which they had acquired
by years of experimenting and at the
expense of thousands oil dollars. 1t was
thought best not to have the govern
ment depend upon one plant o one
finn in case Of great need in war. The
Government had been customers Of the
duPonts and they were generous enough
to return a favor and not appear to be a
greedy monopoly.
Admiral Strauss told Congress that
nearly half the Government supply OF
smokeIess cannon powder is now made
at Indian Head; that with an appropri-
alton OF $500, 900 fol the first year, in
erecting new buildings double the out
put could be made, aud at less expense
during the following years.
To centraliZe all the powder making
at Indian Head would cut out big orders
now made on Carney's Point by the
duPonts. 1t would almost necessitate
shutting down that line of manufac-
ture.
The bill came before the House of
Representatives May |, when Congress
"a Browning OF this, the First Dis.
tIict, block the appropriation for $500;
600 on a point of order, that "while
appropriations for new buildings at e.
listing Government institutions have
sometimes been admitted as in continu-
ance of a public work, they are not re-
garded as establishing a principle"
MI. Browning quoted several presidents
and the chair sustained his objection to
having, $4,000, 900 for new buildings at
Indian Head, included in the regular
appropriation bill.
- While many object to one firm max
ing all the government powder, Oh the
other hand it is not good public policy
for the Government to make all of its
own powder to the exclusion of The
development of a private enterprise in
another locality. 1t would be as ungen-
erous for the Government to exclude
the duPonts. after receiving their models
for machinery and formula for the COM
position of powders, as it would have
been for the duPonts to have sought a
monopoly by not having assisted in the
construction of the Government plant.
1t is hot good public policy, even at
less expense, for the Government to put
all its eggs in one basket in case of war.
By having plants i'll different localities
which can be expanded the Govern
ment can be better served in time of
great need.

The Real Issue In Mexico.

From New York World.
, There will be no permanent peace in
Mexico until the reOn is on land that
belongs to the peon and is protected in
his ownership.
The Mexican problem is an agrarian
problem. The great mass of people are
living under feudalism. They own roth
ing. A few men own everything.
There are great States i'll which practi-
cally all the land is in the hands of a
dozen proprietors, and the peasant pop
ulation lives in semi-slavery.
Mexican dictators have been gener-
ous with foreign cOncessionaries. They
have sold mines and oil rights and fran.
chises with little restraint. There are
million acre estates in Mexico for which
American and other foreign proprietors
paid less than 10 cents al acre; but
there is nothing for the peon. He is
Systematically robbed of the fruits of
his labor, and only his rags a he call
his own.
The Constitutionalist movement is a
campaign for peasant prOprietorship.
That is the meaning Of Villa aud Zap
alta and Carranza and all the forces
that have been battling against Huerta.
That is what the Madero uprising
against DiaZ meant, but unfortunately
MaderO was unable 20 carry out his
promises, and so Huerta climbed into
power over his corpse.
What is going OH in Mexico is a revo-
luton of the common people against
despOtic privilege. When President
Wilson refused to recognize Huerta he
stood with the common people against
their oppressOrs. In Helping to bring
about a mediation that will restore
peace and establish a really representa-
tive Government that will do Justice
to the peOn, the President is still stand.
ing with the common people. That is
where the United States always be-
longs, and it will be a sorry day for
this country when its Government de-
liberately takes the other side in such a
quarrel.
Not since the United Government
under the leadership Of Abraham Lin.
coin destroyed human slavery has it
undertaken a nobler mission than the
emancipation of the Mexican masses
from a tyranny that is little better than
slavery.
