PUPILS CHEER
AS FIRE CAUSES
SCHOOL HOLIDAY
Lincoln School Building
Damaged When Furnace
Becomes Overheated.

Some 200 FL Centre Youngsters
were made happy this morning when
pupils at the Lincoln school were
dismissed by Superintendent b. NJ.
Gruwcll, following a fire in the
school building resulting from an
ovcrheatcd furnace which caused
damage estimated to be between
81, 100 and $4,000.
Shortly after classes had assem-
gan pouring into all parts of the
building through vcntilat0rs and
openings in the floor and walls. The"
alarm for fire drilI was sounded and
the pupils marched from the build
ing without the slightest sign of
confusion i'm 80 seconds.
Due to the early morning chill, an
unusually large fire was burning in
the furnace. According to Fire
Chief Tom Rcams, there was no
fircproof partition between the top
of the furnace and the timbcrs sup
porting the first floor. The timbers
smoudcrcd and then ignited directly
below the floor of the 6-B class
room.
When the fircmcn arrived in re
sponsc to an alarm from Box 2l at
Fourth and Olive streets, an attempt
was made to get at the blaze
through the furnace room. The con
struction of the building prevented
this, although the firemcn, equipped
with smoke helmets, tried hard.
An opening was made in Il stair
way in the lower hall and water
poured through into the basement,
but without completely cNtingulsh-
ing the fire. The fircmcn then
chopped a hole in the floor of the
G-B room and stream of water
sent through the opening, cHtln-
guishcd the blaze.
Considerable damage was done by
water to the floors, desks and books.
Owing to the condition of the build
ing. Superintendent Gruwell decided
to dismiss school for the day. The
news was greeted with cheers by
the Youngsters, who had been held
in the school yard under the super
vision of the teachers. The dream
Of every school kid had n last come"
true.
School officials comPlimcntcd
chief Rcams and lis men for their
efficient work in controlling the
fire which might easily have spread
throughout the building, causing
much greater damage if not total
destruction.
W. \. Tondro. member of the
school board, was on the scene
shortly after the fircmcn, and com
mcndcd the discipline and efficiency
shown by teachers at til" school IN
getting the Youngsters out without
any disturbance or excitement. y
feeble effort by some of the Older
pupils to follow their own incIina-
tionS in leaving the building. was
uippcd in the bud and the exodus
proceeded in an orderly manner.

HOOVER MAKES
ANOTHER VISIT
TO PRESIDENT
Believe Farm Relief
Discussed At Morning
Conference.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES

Omitted Press Staff CoTreSponuent)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Prcsi
dcnt-clect Hoover called upon Prcsi-
dent Coolidge for the second time
at the White House today immcdi-
atcly after Il conference with Scna-
to Brookhart, Republican, Iowa. in
which farm relief was discussed at
length
In some quarters, the White House
conference was linked up with a
possible move to pass a farm relief
bill along lines favored by Hoover
at this session of congress, though
Brookhart said in his opinion an
extra session is necessary and in
cVitablc.
There is 10 general support of the
McNary bill, he explained, and even
if passed it would be inadequate,
Brookhart said, and another bill
would have to be passed to meet the
farmers need.
Discussing farm relief, Brookhart
said Hoover has Il very definite pro
gram, along lines laid down in his
st. Louis speech. This program, the
Iowa senator said, is what the farm
crs want and will meet their needs.
Hoovcr's conferences in the past
three days with congressional lead
crs, including farm bloc members,
were believed in some quarters to
foreshadow an attempt to push the
Hoover farm program at this session,
ohviating an extra session.
The White House conference was
arranged suddenly while Brookhart
was in conference with Hoover.
Brookhart, il is believed, laid be-
fore Hoover his opposition to the re-
appointment of Secretary of Treas
urv Mellon, but the Iowa senator
declined to discuss in detail the ma
turc of his call, except to say he
had discussed several matters.
