from Shocking Death in Di-
gestor Room

LARGE CROWD

A pipe in the digestor room in the

the death of Stanley Gibson and Bert
Pratt, both of this town, and the only
occupants in the room at the time of
the incident. This room is on the
third floor of the building and when
the hot liquor prevented escape by the
stairs, the two employees took to the
windows instead Of being closed in
the room to the escaping liquor. 1t
happened that rope had been hung
from one of the windows to the roof
Of the dynamo room for the purpose
of a fire escape. The two men took
this means Of escape and both sue
cessfully reached the roof Of the dyna
mo room. The roof over the dynamo
room was not in good condition, and
when both landed on the unsafe COW
ering, 1t gave way and both fell to
the ground, a distance Of about 20
feet. AS soJn as the accident was re-
ported, doctors were called and found
that the two men had escaped with
out any serious injuries although Mr.
Pratt suffered a sprained arm and Mr.
Gibson minor injuries to his back
Both men feel very fortunate in es-
Gaping with their injuries as a longer

the editor OF the magazine which had
bought the exclusive right TO her
work. He was to meet her soon. he
would have met her before, but she
had been away.
Presently. as he dressed, sober
thoughts began to steal through
Jlmmy's mind. He had been guilty
OF very imprudent behavior during his
short vacation. In fact, he had gone
to the Catskills expecting to find ru-
raj quiet there, and he had found the
place full of young store clerks and
salesladies on their vacation.
Among the latter had been Miss Liz
zie Moore. Miss Moore was a type OF
the -girl-one Of those types that

with each other
At first it had been only Irritation

Unless inherently fastidious during

One girl may have a trick OF leaving
shoes about her-room. As a child she

Ignorant as she was. half educated.
with the little slangy manners of
speech OF her class, Lawlor had real
lied that his love for her could toler-
ate all these things And she had
looked up to him so naiyely as a great
painter.
DO you know, Mr.. Lawlor. il is a
wonderful experience in my life to
have met you!" she confided one da,..
Il never knew anybody like you he

could think beautiful things. like you
can, instead Of just being interested
in making money"
Lawlor smiled rather grimly at that,
but his infatuation had reached the
point where he did not vince at the
words she used Instead, acting on
the impulse, he bent down and took
Miss Moore in his arms and kissed
her
The girl lay there silent for just
moment. Then she drew herself away
and looked at him with an expression
that Lawlor had never seen on her
face before. There was in it some
thing of wounded dignity--and some
thing OF helplessness.
Il suppose you're just flirting with
me TO pass away the time" she said.
And Lawlor was stricken into ST

that the girls words were true.

alliance could work nothing but harm

That fan was not a favorable one

HOW LONG?

How long will il be possible fot the

hoodwink the public, and to what
lengths they will 20 in this endeavor
are questions which grayely concern
not only those who have the standing
and dignity Of the United States at
heart, but the democratic leaders as
well. Already "Wall Street" is wise
on the situation. On Tuesday last Mr..

the White House in which he referred
to the grave situation. Wednesday

again there was no weakness in the
stock market corresponding to what
appeared to be Washington's interpre-

There was no attempt TO explain this
apparent immunity of the market from
fright on this score except on the
ground that there had been so many
other crises Of the kind that threat
ened breaking or of relations had be-
come a played out factor. The White
House methods which, by the way,
are in marked contrast to the state

"a played out factor" in the financial

become played out factor in the po-
