FAIRFAX Inn BURNS
Occupants Barely Have Time to Els
cape-One Of Oldest Buildings and
Recently Remodeled.

Fairfax, April 17.-F'ire completely de-
stroyed A, N. Grenier's hotel, Fairfax
Inn," this morning at an early hour.
The fire was discovered in the basement
of the building at about $3.50 a. M, and
had already gained such Roadway and
the rooms were 30 filled with smoke that
the inmates had only time to take few
articles of clothing In their hands and
get out on the street.
This building was known for years as
the Cady block and was one of the oldest
buildings in town. About four years ago
A. n. Grenier rented the building and
remodeled 1t as a barber-shop and Ice
cream parlor. Last fall he again changed
the lower floor and added a large veranda
and opened 1t as a hotel. The repairs
were not yet completed. On the lower
floor was the office, dining-room, barber
shop and kitchen, with sitting-room and
sleeping rooms on the second floor
Mr.. and Mrs. Grenier with several
boarders and transients were in the
building at the time of the fire. Nothing
was saved from the fire but the barber
chair.
Among other things Mr.. Grenier lost
nearly $500 in money
The next house. owned by Mrs. Ryan,
and occupied by her son. Mark Ryan,
standing only about ten feet away. was
saved by hard work. Their household
goods were moved out. as were the goods
of Mr. Courtney and H. I. Goodsell.
The burned building was insured for
5000, which will not nearly cover the
loss. Mr.. Grenier had a small insurance
on his household goods. The origin of the
fire 10 not known. but is supposed to hdve
caught from the furnace.

which was approved by the trustees

chairman, Professors George @. Groat,
B. Ogle, Edward Robinson, DR.. j. NJ
Jenne and George p. Burns. This COM
mittee will have charge Of the utiliza-
ton Of the Universitys resources In
the service Of the nation.
SPEED UP MEDICAL COURSE.
The first step of a definite character
was the adoption of the recommended
ton of the medical faculty Of the uni
versity. proposing an all summer SEES
sion for the junior medical class, SO
that they might be graduated in Feb
ruray of 1913, instead Of the follow
Ing June. This will enable the univer-
sity to make the earliest compliance
with the earnest demand for doctors
for service during the war. This need
is especially great. as only this week
England sent q request for 900 Amer
lean doctors to serve with the allied
armies.
OTHER DEPTS. MAY BE KEPT OPEN.
All departments of the university
may possibly be kept open during the
summer and night classes may be or
ganized in engineering for the benefit
of young business men. who wish to
prepare for this service. There will be
special demand for agricultural
workers also during the war in order
to secure an increased food supply. All
of these plans will be worked out by
the deans OF the various colleges for
adoption by the university senate, after
being submitted to the preparedness
committee for their approval.
This means that the university In
common with other State universities
and agricultural colleges will do it's
full share In preparing to meet every
emergency which the war may create.
The full power of the universitys re-
sources will be developed to the great
est extent for the benefit of the State
and the nation.
