MYSTERIOUS NAN Ms MURDER CASE
EX-POLICEMEN MUST TAKE
EXAMS. FOR REINSTATEMENT
Commission Cannot Appoint Dolan
and Litkc Until They Pass
Civil Service Tests

Corporation Counsel j. H. Kirk
ham has given Chairman David L.
Dunn of the police commission ver-
bal opinion on the status of Thomas
A. Dolan, former policeman, who
resigned from the force and who has
petitioned for reinstatement.
According to the corporation coun-
sci, Dolan can take the civil service
examinations and may be reappointed
to the force IL he ranks with the five
having the highest marks and if the
commissioners favor putting him into
a uniform. An ordinance specifies
that man must have had two years
experience as supernumerary po-
liceman before he is eligible to take
the, civil service examinations for the
regular force. Mr.. Kirkham holds
that Dolan has fulfilled this require
ment, having had experience both as
a supernumerary and as regular
policeman.
A verbal application for reinstate-
ment has also been received from
Gustave Litke, a former member of
the police force. The same condi-
tions apply in his case as in the case
of Dolan.
1t is the understanding of the
board that it has no authority. to re-
instate men until they have passed
the civil service examinations,

Incendiary Suspected

ed in 1904 by band of Assumption
Fathers who had been expelled from
France, was destroyed by fire early
today, but the 100 students escaped in
safety, although they saved little ex-
cept their night clothes. The blaze
was discovered shortly before 4 o'clock
by Joseph Michaud, member of the
freshman class. He gave the alarm
on an automatic signal in the dormi-
tory corridor on the top floor of the
three story main building and all the
students fed into the chilling air.
most of them wearing only the clothes
in which they jumped from bed.
The fire was first seen in a section
of the building close to the physics
and chemical laboratories and it is be-
lieved it started from an explosion of
chemicals. The members of the fa-
Guilty who live in a house in the col
lege grounds were aroused by the
flames glaring into their windows and
they hastened to sec about the safety
of the students When they were as
sured that all the boys had escaped,
they gave their attention to saving
some of the articles OF value in the
lower scctifn of the college but they
were able toasave iittle
F1remen from this city were handi-
capped by lack of water pressure and
the height Of the college building on
a hill.
The loss is estimated at between
$500, 600 and $250,0oO. The boys were
taken in by neighbors and arrange
ments will be made as soon as pos
sible to send them ell to their homes.

any wick. but showing signs of hav-
ing contained kerosene recently. This
lamp had never been seen around the
college before by any member of the
faculty or student body. and it was
not needed for any college purpose.
The finding of this lamp, coupled
with the fact that Rev. Louis A. Dey-
dier, A. A., president of the college
received an anonymous letter several
ago threatening the destruc-
tion of the college buildings, leads to
the belief that the building was set on
fire.
