While 700 boys and girls were at
their orning prayers in the pa
rochial school of st. Johns Catholic
church, in Peabody, Mass, fire start

the three stories of the brick and
wooden building in less than five min

Twenty-one children, none out OF
their teens, were burned or crushed to
death while attempting to escape.
Nine are missing, a score of others
were injured, several seriously.
The origin of the fire is in doubt.
Angus Mcdonald, of the state police,
believes it originated in a closet near
the stairway and was caused by a hot
air explosion.
Mother Superior Aldegon, who was
In charge of the sisters who taught
in the school, heard an explosion and
detecting smoke, sounded the alarm.
There were 40 fire escapes on the
outside of the building, but wide STAIR
ways 1t either end of the interior
led down to the front exit. Under
fire drill, the children were marched
through constantly thickening clouds
of smoke to the ground floor, when
the leaders lost their heads.
Instead of passing out the rear e

dash for the front door and became
damned in the vestibule. Meantime
the fire had eaten its way upward
from directly under the front en-
trance and the vestibule crowded

But in a short time, sc desperately

The walls above the policeman
trembled and threatened to fall, but

back the flames that crept along the
floor toward the bodies and made
possible the saving of life.

Washington, Jan. 6.-President Will
son declined to say specifically yester-
day that he would call an extra session

callers who talked with him on the sub
ject were impressed with the Presi-

ure.
Mr. Wilson said he would support a

gress could agree on one but he would
not call an extra session for that. He
added that he was making all his ar
rangements to leave Washington on
March . for the Panama canal and the

President Wilson told callers his
Jackson day speech at Indianapolis on
Friday would be political in character.
He refused to outline it but it is gen
orally understood he win review the
record of the administration.
He also told callers there was no
truth in reports that he was personally

of which some German reservists have
been arrested. He said that the mat
ter had been called to his attention in

Fire Protection for Farms

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside contributor tells how the
tall, towerlike silos in which up-to-date
farmers store their grain provide an ex-
cellent opportunity for placing water
tanks high in the air that will be use
full in case of fire. Following is an ex-
tract from the article:
''When building thick-walled silo
you have an excellent opportunity to
install a complete system of water
works for the house and farm buildings.
And with but little additional expense
fire hydrants can be placed near or in
each building of any considerable size
or Importance. The addition of port
able reel of hose makes complete sys-
TEN for fighting fire. If the silo is
built of brick, concrete or tile, a water
tank can he placed on top of it, with
thu supply pipe from the well leading
up through the center of it. The silage
will prevent the pipe from freezing in
the winter. The silo is generally the
tallest of all the farm buildings, so
with water tank on top of it you have
sufficient pressure to throw stream of
water to the top of all other build
ings."
