FOR FIRE ESCAPES
 ON COURT HOUSE
Mayor Murphy Has Received Blue Print Plans from Hartford Company.

In complying with the statutes which provide that all public build ings of three stories or more and of a certain length shall be fitted with fire escapes Mayor T. c. Murphy has writ ten to a Hartford concern for figures in regard to the matter of supplying fire escapes for the court house. They have sent him blue print plans for escapes to be placed on the rear or north side of the city hall building. Plans for one and two escapes were received, but according to Corporation Counsel Thomas NJ. Shields but one escape is necessary for the local build ing. As the mayor has called the at tention of the board of selectmen to the escapes it is probable that they will have a joint meeting for a con ference before any decisive action is taken on the matter. There is but one entrance on the first floor in ad- dition to the windows, and on the second floor there are four entrances, two on Broadway, one on Union street and one on Union square. The third floor is reached by two stairways, one on the east and one on the west side of the building. On the fourth floor is situated the office of the superin- tendent of schools and there is but one stairway to this office. The mat ter of securing and erecting the fire escapes will probably be looked after at once.

RECALLS DARTMOUTH DAYS.
District Attorney Whitman Is Speaker
 at Banquet of His College Alumni.

District Attorney Charles S. Whit man, of New York, a native of Sprague who went from Norwich Free Acad- emy to Dartmouth college, was one of the speakers Tuesday evening, when more than 200 graduates of Dartmouth gathered at the f1ftieth annual dinner of the Dartmouth Alumni association of New York at Hotel Savoy.
 MT. Whitman said that his first ex- perience with crime and the fear of detection took place twenty-seven years ago at Dartmouth. His train was delayed. and he had to go to Hanover in a wagon on one of the coldest nights New England had ever known. He went at once to the house of the fraternity to which he belonged and was admitted after much delay
 "The young fellow who let me in, , said MT. Whitman, whispered that the fraternity had been engaged that night in the time-honored custom of stealing Christmas turkeys, and they were afraid that they had been trap ped. With the attendance of Dart mouth what 1t is today, can't help wondering how the farmers around Dartmouth fare"

FIELD SECRETARY WILSON
 OF NATIONAL PLAYGROUNDS
Is Visitor in This City-confers with
 Those Locally Interested.

J. H. Wilson of New York, field sec retary of the National Fairgrounds association, is visiting in the city and expects to confer with those locally interested in the playgrounds work.
 This line of work, MT. Wilson says, is pretty generally taken up under municipal support in other parts of the country, and he was somewhat surprised to learn that it was done here through the private subscriptions made to an organization of citizens.
 The great extent of the work is in dicated by the fact that $5,000,0O0 was spent in playground work all over the country the past year and one of its benefits is pointed out in the statis- tics on juvenile delinquency, which shows a remarkable decrease in the big cities wherever the playgrounds work is carried on.
 Mir. Wilson was formerly in Y. M. c. A. work in New Britain and was an acquaintance there of Manager R. H Gray of the local telephone ex- change.
