For some time it has been apparent
to the members of the North Dakota
commission for the Panama-Pacific
international exposition that it would
not be wise to keep the North Dakota
building at the exposition open until
Dec. 4. There are several reasons for
this. First. the appropriation was too
small to cover the natural expenses of
the building, and therefore, what has
been done at the exposition has been
done we'll, and it is policy to quit while
the record is good. Second, it is also
apparent that November, at least the
last two weeks of the month, will not

Girls Died in
a School Fire

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 2S.-Twenty
children most of them girls, ranging
in age from seven to II years, lost
their lives today in fire which de.
stroyed st. Johns parochial school.
Another girl has injuries which may
prove fatal, while others are less Sc.
riously hurt.
The 600 children had entered their
classrooms for the morning session
and prayer had just been finished
when fire was discovered. Although
a majority of the children, were guild
ed to safety by sisters Of the order of
Notre Dame, who were their teachers,
panic seized large number as they
neared the front door. 49,.
A girl, believed to have been a Grip
pie, fell in the front vestibule, accord
ing to Rev. Nicholas Murphy, pastor
of St. Johns Roman Catholic church,
and over her body child after child,
fearful of the flames and pressed on
by the crowd behind stumbled and
fell, choking the exit. 1t was in this
vestibule that nearly all the bodies
were found.
But for the falling or the crippled
child, Father Murphy said the build
ing would have been cleared in two
minutes as has been done in practice
drills. The classes of pupils mar
shalled by the sisters in the rooms and
halls had filed to the corridors and
started down the stairs in orderly
procession, Notwithstanding curling
plumes of smoke until the blockade
occurred at the front door. Then with
cries from those below in their ears
the children of the linces scattered to
the rooms on oil three floors Of the
building. ID. a.
Those on the lower floor dropped
safely to the ground. From the sec
ond floor most of the children super
vised by the sisters jumped into the
coats which fremen and bystanders
held out to catch them. Many OF
those who went to the windows Of the
upper story were warned against risk
ing the long jump and escaped from
windows below.
Some of the Drawer and more re
sourceful slid down waterspouts
among them Maurice Harris, IA, who
assisted his friend, Tom Shea, witt
only one leg, over a shaking spout.
OF the 10 bodies at an undertaking
shop tonight, 10 had been identified
All Of the sisters escaped, but Mother
Superior Marie Carmelita was seri
ously burned. Tonight it was sale
she might recover but she is great,
Frustrated by the disaster. How the
fire started may never be known. Al
early theory that a boiler explosion
caused it had been discredited.
State and police officials were of the
opinion that a storeroom in the base
ment where gas meter was located
was it's source. 2~-@a~7a.- ' So ID

The Altruistics, a class Of young Ia
dies of the NJ. E. Sunday school, to the
number Of II, were entertained by
their teacher, Mrs. Zimmerman, at her
home Wednesday evening, at very
quaint little "spinster" party. The
guests each came dressed in spinster
garb of ancient style, and would have
done justice to an "old maids conven-
ton. The house was decorated in
Halloween colors, and part of the en-
tertainment of the evening was trying
out some of the superstitions of the
holiday. The refreshments were suit
able to such demure ladies in waiting.
Each lady was presented with an old
fashioned photograph Of the rejected
sutton of her youth, and she was ask
ed to tell the story of her wooing and
why she refused "him". Games suit
able to the occasion were INDUCED in,
and all were unanimous in their ex-
pressions of enjoyment of the evening.
