NIGHT FIRE WIPED
<QyT CH|C0PEE
hIud SCHOOL
Springfield Suburb Suffers Loss
Of 100000 Building
ORIGIN NOT YET DETERMINED
Only $4,000 of the Loss is Covered
BY insuranoe-New Addition Was
Lately Completed.

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 1S.--Fire Of
unknown origin totally destroyed the
Chicopee high school buildings early
yesterday morning. The loss is esti-
mated at close to 100000. The
buildings destroyed. were the old high
school building, the manual training
building and the new addition, that
was almost completed, to connect the
other two. About $S0000 of the loss
is covered by insurance. The alarm
for the fire was turned in at 5.27 o.
clock yesterday morning after the fire
had at least a half-hour's start.
The fire is thought to have started
In the manual training room at the
back of the building but it's origin Is
mysterious. That part of the build.
ing is heated from the municipal cleo
trio light plant and its wiring is
known to have been installed with an
extra amount of care, SO it is i'm
probable that the fire started from de-
fective wiring or from the heating
system. The building had no night
watchman, and the last person known
to have been in it was the janitor,
Frank j. Lynch, who left the building
about 3 O'clock Sunday afternoon.
The fire was discovered by James
Love, night watchman for the Burt
worth carpet company, and Ludwig
Bus, an employe of the municipal
lighting plant, who noticed the flames
Just before $50 O'Clock yesterday
morning. 1t is not thought likely that
spontaneous combustion caused the
fire as the rooms in the old building
were, cleaned thoroughly every day. !,
( Members of the school committee
said last, evening that while the mat
ter was ultimately one for, the city
solicitor and the insurance adjusters
to decide, it was probable that the
city would have to stand all the loss
not covered by insurance. ]. J. Page
G. Son, the contractors in charge of
erecting the addition. have been paid
for the work that they have done as
1t has been completed.

SCHOOLS AFTER THE FIRE
Night School at High School viii Be
Omitted Until Building lie Repaired


There is to be no session of even
ing school until repairs are completed
| on the high school.
Owing to the extra work connected
| with the transfer of the pupils and
the division of the day school into
different buildings, 1t has been
thought best to wait before plans can
be formulated caring for evening
| classes. Just what effect this forced
recess will have on the dismissal
of night school In the spring will be
announced later.
The high school started sessions
with little confusion, but much crowd.
ing in the School street graded build.
ing this morning, over 250 pupils be.
ing jammed in on the top floor OF the
building while down stairs the kids
were packed into the rooms like sar-
dimes. The transfer OF the school to
the third floor OF the graded school
has been designated by the faculty
as THE Passing of the Third Floor
Back"
Practically all of the books and
classroom equipment were not badly
damaged by fire or water and were in
use this morning, having been trans.
ferred Monday afternoon by high
school boys who volunteered their
services.
The teacher training class Is in
stalled at st. Francis de Sales
Academy and the classes in music
will be heard at st. Peters parish
house. On the whole the school is
running in better shape than seemed
possible, due mainly to the executive
ability of Supt. Varney.
Sightseers. who went to the high
school yesterday afternoon to view
the ruins from the street We're disap-
pointed, for with the exception of
few smashed windows, the outside Of
the building did not suffer noticeably.
Workmen, assisted by the boys,
worked on the floors all day yesterday
and at five o'clock had most OF the
debris removed and the water mopped
out. The inside Of the building is in
bad shape in the part hit by the fire.
The high school boys did excellent
work in removing tho charred and
water-soaked material still holding
the water of the night before and al.
lowing it TO drip down to the further
destruction OF plaster and equipment
beneath. The boys were given pay
per hour and did as well If not better
than the men of4 - as.ps
Work was started Monday in tenn
porarily fixing the roof with lumber
and roof paper This will be finished
today and the building. which is nov
water.logged can be dried out. The
insurance adjusters are to be here
Thursday. i T9aa11 ed
At the graded school building one
OF the first things today was to give
each room careful fire instruction SO
that the increased number of pupils
could be gotten out quickly in case Of
an alarm.

For several years, had backache,
directly over my kidneys. 1t came

but for the last two or three years. it
annoyed me almost constantly. Then

Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
them at Coles Drug Store. They did
me a great deal of good soon after

were removed"

Taylor said: Time has not altered

IRELAND AGAIN EXCLUDED
Some Irish Members Wanted Con-

London, Jan. 17.-The proceedings
in committee in the House of Com.

Government strongly resisted an at
tempt to include married men in the

The most important amendment

A Bonar Law, Secretary for the
