NEWS In GENERAL

Germany has had a revolution that
at first was said to be bloodless, but
rioting later supplied the missing ele-
ment. The Royalist party, said to be
bent upon returning to a monarchial
form of government, on last Satur-
day drove President Ebert and cabi-
net from the palace in Berlin and pro-
claimed DR.. Wolfgang Kapp, the new
head of the government. 1t is not yet
known exactly what the new state of
affairs really portends. The Ebert ad-
ministration claims the Kapp party
represent the former ruling class and
intends to restore an Emperor to the
throne. Kapp denies this, saying Ger
many will remain a Republic. At
last accounts the two parties were con-
ferring and there is talk of compro-
mise. Bill Eiohenzolern is saying moth
ing, lat continues to saw wood in

ANOTHER FIRE
CHESTERFIELD HOTEL AND
HENDRIX GROCERY STORE
co UP IN SMOKE MONDAY
MORNING
Blaze Starts on Second Floor While
Guests Are At Breakfast-Part
of Furnishings And Grocery
Stock Saved

Chesterfield has again been visited
by a disastrous fire and again crowds
of helpless people have had to stand
by and see the confagration burn it
self out, knowing that when there was
nothing more to burn the fire would
be over.
Shortly after eight o'clock last
Monday morning flames were dis
covered on the second floor of the
Chesterfield Hotel. Half dozen or
more guests were having breakfast
and most of these rushed to their
rooms and succeeded in saving their
effects. Several, however, lost con-
siderable wearing apparel and, one,
at least, lost the entire contents of
his room.
When discovered the flames had
made very little Roadway and had
almost any provision for fire fight
buildings could have been saved with
very little damage. As it was, the
town turned out and devoted itself to
carrying out furniture from the ho-
tel and the stock of groceries from
the G.. A. Hendrix store next door.
So slow was the progress of the fire
that practically everything was car
ried out of the hotel and the entire
grocery stock was safely across the
street long before the walls began to
crumble.
The wind was most favorable to
Chesterfield and to this fact alone is
attributable the confining Of the fire
to the two buildings. Iron roofing
from the Farmers Hardware store
across the street was set up in front of
all the nearby store windows, pro-
tecting them from the heat to great
extent and undoubtedly preventing
some further damage, but there is lit
tie doubt that had the high winds of
the previous Saturday prevailed the
business section would have been
wiped out.
AS it was there was serious men,

SCHOOLS CLOSED FOR
LACK OF TEACHERS

According to reports of the Uni
ted Bureau of Education, the coun-
try is faced with serious shortage
of school teachers, chiefly through
failure to provide adequate salaries.
Based on returns from State school
officials, the reports show that on Feb.
13 last 1929 schools were closed be-
cause of lack of teachers and 41,98O
were being taught by teachers char
acteriZed as "below standard, but
taken on temporarily in an emergen-
cy." Greater shortage of teachers are
shown is the Southern than in the
Northern States.
Here is another alarming phase of
the situation:
In 100 State, county, city and pri-
vate normal schools, representing 60
per cent. of the total normal schools
in the country, there were 1883
fewer students enrolled Nov. 1 1919,
than the pre-war period. A similar
falling off is shown in teacher-train-
ing departments in colleges, while
other departments show great in
creases in enrolment.

carried to the roof of the Bank of
Chesterfield and started blaze
amongst some leaves that had collect
cd on the roof of that structure. This
wa S quickly extinguished without loss.
The hotel building, which was valu-
ed at $4,000 carried $4,000 insur-
ance, with an additional 81, 500 on the
contents.
The Hendrix grocery building, with
a value of $4,000 carried $1,75O in
surancc, with another $1,000 on the
stock. On the two buildings, there
fore, the actual loss to the owners is
$9,250, Mr.. Joel Catoc losing ST.
500 on the hotel and Mr.. C. A. Hen
dirk suffering a loss of $1,75O on
the store building. From these figures
it will not require college professor
to determine whether it is cheaper to
install water works or depend upon
insurance for protection.
Just what proportion of the in
surance on the contents of the build
ing will be collectable depends upon
the damage suffered by the hotel fur
nishings and the grocery stock.
Mr.. Hendrix lost no time in his
business but moved at once into u
building at Page and Railroad streets
and opened up for trade.
Mr.. Catoe is said to be contem-
plating selling his lot, either cut into
smaller building plots or as whole,
at auction in the near future.
Chesterfield is now without hotel
and those who had been making the
Catoc establishment their home were
hard put to find even temporary quar-
ters. So far as known all have man
aged to get under shalter for the time
being, but the absence in the town of
sufficient living quarters works par
ticular hardship in the present cmer-
gency.
DR.. w. j. Perry, who had his office
on the first floor of the hotel, has es-
tablished temporary headquarters at
the Chesterfield Drug store. Mr.. A.
j. Rohr has set up his chair and is
moving whispers and lilocks in the
front of the Farmers Mercantile
Store.
1t is now something over three
years since experts surveyed the field
and estimated that Chesterfield could
have had at that time a complete and
efficient water works system for $685.

could have been in operation Chester

mate, $4,000 by fires that could have
been stopped with trifling loss had
water been available.

fereJ the loss of personal effects in
the fire Mr.. w. G.. Allen, telegraph
operator and assistant agent at the
G. & l.. station, was the hardest hit.
Mr.. Allen had had an early break
fast and was at the depot when the
fire occurred. In his room at the ho-
tel were all of his wearing apparel
effects except what he wore.
Mrs. G. b. Edgeworth, the newly
arrived optician, succeeded in getting
out her trunk and good part of her
clothing but lost several suits, shoes
and hats that were in closet.
The fire came near resulting in a
tragedy. During the early progress
of the flames Deputy Sheriff J. T.
Grant, after searching the rooms for
possible late sleepers, had climbed
through a scuttle hole into the attic,
where possibly servant might have
been sleeping. While making a hur-
ried search of this part of the build
ing the smoke became so dense that
Mr.. Grant was unable to find the scut-
tie he had entered and he was in
grave danger of being overcome.

smoke to his point of entrance and
