fatal Asylum, Fire Is Probed 17 Insane Patients Dead, 12 Still at Large After Chicago Blaze. By International New* Serrici, Chicago, Dec. 27.—Five city, state and federal agencies today launched a joint Inquiry Into the disastrous Ore at the Chicago State Hospital for the Insane, at Dunning, which tast night took a toll of at least 17 lives and loosed 30 or more danger ously insane patients as a menace to the city. Fire hazard in the over-crovedfed frame structure known as ‘‘the death house” has been recognized as an •ever-present danger for the last 11 years and the asylum had been saved from destruction by flames largely by luck in eight blazes since 1910. By Associated Pres*. Chicago, Dec. 27.—Seventeen per sons were killed last night when a swiftly spreading fire, of unascer tained origin destroyed an old wooden pavilion known as the “death house at the state hospital for the insane at Dunning, at the northwestern edge of Chicago. Fourteen of the dead 'are known to have been patients in various rtages of insanity. Three sthers were E. J. Caraker and his ivife, attendants, and Lowell, their 8-year-old son. Only one patient has been identi fied. The bodies of the others were burned beyond recognition. About 35 of the patients; includ ing Several of a violent type, broke In the excitement of herding than 500 inmates from the danger zone. Several were taken r back to the institution after hard struggles with the police. A dozen supposedly dangerous pa tients were reported still at large early today. Great Burst of Flames It was one*of the Worst institu it tional fires in Illinois- history. The building, witnesses said., seemed to go up in one great burst of flame. It was given the name "death house" when it was tlie property of Cock county because of its flimsy cdta struction, it is said. It houses ap proximately 600 patients suffering with the milder forms of insanity. The institution houses approxl mately 3,500 patients, and the shriek ‘ of the fire alarm threw them Into a ’-WTrenzy. Attendants battled to drive f'lhem back from doors and windows ^ and to safety while the flames con "sumed the wooden structure. The • ’cries -of the charges led l’Att the building housing the more dangerous patients excited them all the more, and for an hour the scene was truly one of bedlam. It was thought at first that all persons had been taken alive front the burned building and It was only when firemen began exploring the smoldering ruins that the first hod} was found. • Break Some of the patients" broke from •he lines being herded to safety and ■ iashed back into the flames to obtain Christmas presents and other -posses but it was thought all again been brought out.

Blame for the deaths in the flimsy building will be fixed by a joint in vestlgatlon of five official agencies working with Oscar Wolff, Cook county coroner. The institution 'recently had been crowded beyond Its limits by an in flux of patients from the county courts, psychopathic hospital, and from other county lnsitutions. The Dunning asylum has had. in eluding that of last night, eight fires since March, 1910, but none of the others were of any serious conse quence. New York ~ Day by Day - By O. O. MTNTVRE Ft. Worth, Tex., Dec. 27.—Ft. Worth is known to Texans as the “cultured cow town.” It has a dis tinct personality. Cattle raising is the main industry. The easterner might think of a “cow town” as wild and wooly. Ft. Worth is as effete in many ways as Boston. Still there are no airs. Business men are not found “in conference.” Head waiters wear business suits yet there is purer diction here than one finds in New York. Newspapers play up educational news and there is a keen thirst for good music and good books. You can point to almost anyone in Ft. Worth who didn't have a sou 10 years ago but who now has a palatial residence and all that goes with it. There Is a robust vitality about the city tven to the whiff when you drive out to the stock yards. You find men in huge sombreros ljke those of the movie cattle kings but you also find silk hats and canes. It is a small town suddenly turned city without forgetting the close knit neighborliness. On street cars are placards reading: “Ride on, street cars and see your friends." There is an incessant surge of local pride. It didn’t have a hotel in keep ing with the city's growth. The citizenry, built one. A million and a half dollar Ft. Worth club is going up. It has the most complete hat Store in America and the finest candy store. Ft. Worth is not the largest town In Texas but the leading newspaper, the Ptnr Telegram, has the largest circulation. It has also the finest and most complete newspaper plant In the world, for a city of the size of Ft. Worth, and has one of the largest radios. What impresses one most about Ft. Worth aside from its skyscrapers, smart shops, magnificent homes and ctMiimercial bustle Is the open hearted -friendlinqfs/ IIS manner is all mel lowness. Instead of throwing verbal handsprings about their town before the stranger they make him feel they are genuinely glad to see him. Their slogan is "Where the west begins and they live the poem by "making the handclasp just a little firmer." Kentucky Pistol Fights Continue Close Friends Are Last Two Men to Fall in Forty Eight Hours. Duane, Ky., Dec. 27.—John Godsey was shot and killed instantly last night In a pistol fight staged In a barbei shop operated here by Joseph Turner.

Girls More Intelligent Than \ Men, Test at Harvard Shows ' " M Hr Associated Press. Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 27.—In a series of Intelligence tests given to t07 Harvard students and 37 girl un dergraduates at Raddiffe. the girls won > ranking 4 5 per cent higher than the college men. according to figures made public by i)r. A. A. Ro ba.ck, Harvard psychologist. In the tests devised by Dr. Roback and car ried out in the Harvard psychological laboratory under the supervision of H. fi. Langfdd, professor of psycholo gy, the girls received an average rat ing of 55 per cent and the men 50.5. The testing ^jsteni was based on relative speed in observation, deduc tion, mental application and interpre tation. One Harvard man tied with a Radrltffe student for first place with an SS per cent'ranking. A Harvard student made the lowest score. 9 per cent. The lowest level reached by a girl waa 26 per cent. Commenting on the results of the tests. Dr. Roback said that similar ex periments had been conducted at Slrn lions college and Clark university and that the average Intelligence of girls In college is apparently above that of men. lie attributed this condition to a more careful process of selection on the part of parents sending girls to college, while many men “go to col lege merely because It is the thing.” In the upper levels, however, men and women rank very evenly In the race for mental honors, he said. • * 0 Bee Publishing Company I Copper •-■‘Zinc Halftones, Zinc Etchings, Color Plates, Photo Retouching'-"1 i Advertising' Pictures !

Laurel goes on u vleft to her falner In New York and he leaves her at the home of Mra Morrison, a friend, while ho Is away on u trip to rhleago. After seeing her (laughter aboard the train iu Boston Utella goes lo a cafe where she meets an old admirer. Alfred Munn, with whom she attend, a musical farce. ! (Continued from Yesterday.) • She didn't look pale and tired and wistful, the way most mothers of young babies looked, and go home early. "See.” her bright cheeks an nounced, her ecstatic manner pro claimed, "it hasn't made any differ ence. I can dance just as well, I can flirt Just as w^ll!” She and her partner had been one of the half dozen couples still dancing on the ball room floor to the music of solitary piano at 3 a. m., when the janitor began turning off the lights. Stephen, waiting patiently below, out side the ladles' dressing room, had been the parent who was wondering —and wondering bitterly too—if the babv had slept through. Stella returned to the arena of her ambitions with a determination to make up for lost time as quickly and as emphatically as possible. And Stephen returned to the valley of shame and humiliation. During this period the cloak he wore to coyer the shivering nakedness or his fortifica tion concealed at the same time much of Ills natural commaraderle. It was Impossible for him,to participate in mild hilarities of whatever kind, in Milhampton, under the constant ban of his relationship to one whose hilarity was so often overdone. He became extremely subdued in man ner, reserved, short of speech, dis inclined to respond to friendly ap .proaches. Some people of Mllhamp ten called him glum and Ill-humored Outside Milhampton, however, there was nothing glum and ill-humored about Stephen Dallas. In another city he met amiability more than half way. His old charm, of which he possessed no small amount, returned to him ehlnlng and bright the minute that he escaped his relationship to Stalls. He bore himself w-ith more confidence and effective self-esteem with business associates, too, who were far enough removed from Mil hampton to know nothing of his home life. Every week's or two weeks' ab sence from Stella became oases of re freshment to Stephen. Mr. Palmer, accompanying Stephen on one of his business trips, had witnessed the metamorphosis, and he opened up as many business opportunities out of town for his protege, as possible. Stephen’s reputation for ability in the law spread. The year Laurel began going to school, a New York law firm asked Stephen to become one of its mem bers. Mr. Palmer advised Stephen to accept the invitation. It would mean, of course, a loss to him. not only a business loss but a personal less too. Stephen had come to seem to him almost like a son. "But go.” lie said, "go. It's your big chance, mv bov. Go." It happened that, during the time that Stephen had the New York proposition under consideration. Stella was carrying on a rather more obvious flirtation than usual with a man of r very offensive personality Stephen had told Stella how distaste ful this particular man was to him, but Stth/i had paid no heel ,r> his objections. Stephen was always object ing. The mar s name waa Alfred Munn. He was a stranger In Milhampton. There had sprung up In Milhampton an Interest in horseback riding the preceding summer. The River club had filled Its staples with a dozen or more Kentucky thoroughbreds obtain ed from a southern hostelry. Tliev were somewhat wornout animals for the most part, but they were safe and steadv for beginners, much safer and steadier In fact than their owner— ,.r keeper. (It was never definitely known which Alfred Munn was i Ylfred Munn became almost ss much of a craze at the River club as the sport he taught. It was difficult ■to get an hour's instruction from him. If you hadn't engaged it weeks In ad jva'nce. He was busy every day from K in the morning till * at nigh*, in structing women and children mostly, rertain women of the younger mar ried set began paying Alfred Munn ridiculous attention, it was discover ed that it was not only on the hack cf a bora# that he waa skillful, and the epitome of giace and rhythm; he rould also excel on the ballroom floor. One of the younger married women, holder than her sisters. Invited him »o a River club dance. He was soon at tending ail the River club dances. He was taken up by a certain set of women in Milhampton like some new exotic food. In spite of the report shat he he longed to an aristocratic southern famllv of reduced financial circum stances. most of the women who paid him attention were aware of hle^lack • i French May Quit Ruhr January 1 I Frankfort, Germany, Per. 2*.—The Frankfurter Zeltpng claimed today to have authentic Information that the bulk of French and Belgian troops will exacuafe the Ruhr be ginning January 11. w onion May Join C. of C.

Mart Dodges Pledge by blight in Taxicab Summoned by II ife “You're going to sign the pledge," his wife told Ike llart, 2108 Oak street, when she ap peared at f cntrul slot Ion Thursday morning to pay his (inr of $10 on a charge of drunkenness. Slip led him Into the office of ( apt. Lon Troby, who drew up the pledge. “Now, you keep him here, and I'll go rail a cab; then lie'll sign the pledge, and I'll take Inin home," she told the captain, and left the office. When Captain Troby turned to answer the telephone, Ike also left the office. The eak called by Mrs. Hart drew lip to (lie rill'll. Mis. Hart entile hack to ( apt iin Trolly 's of flee. "Whore Is lief" she asked the captain. Then slip ran hi the window. Ilrr Incdiand was nist disappearing In lilt' taxi sin- railed , of breeding. They were simply amus ing themselves. But Stella couldn’t see why Alfred Munn wasn't a gentle man, she told Stephen. Other wo men like Edith and Rosamond (it waa Edith and Rosamond then. Instead of Myrtle and l’hyllis) didn't seem to find anything so horribly objection aide about him. 1Vh£ In the world should Stephen expect her to be go particular! Stephen used to find Alfred Munn sitting with Stella over a kettle and tea cups, In the living room, when ha came home, in the later afternoon. Stephen and Stella had moved from the apartment by then, and were liv ing in a detached house with a lawn and garden. Afternoon tea was an effort and affectation with most of the young married women in Milhampton, in those days. It was served on low tabourettes, before open fires, in over heated and underlighted living rooms. It was the Milhampton custom, at that time, for the hostess to dangle a perforated sliver ball, filled with tea leaves in individual cups of h#t water, and to inquire, while dangling, as to the cream and lemon and sugar. When Stephen found Stella coquet tishlv dangling her silver ball for Alfred Munn, as he sat comfortably ensconced in 011b of the big Dallas armchairs, it was more than irritac tion he felt. It was disgust. Why, the man left his teispoon In his cup! He had the habit of draw ing air through the spaces between his teeth after eating! And Stella could endure him! W hen he w-as not disguised In his riding clothes, his coarseness was obvious in such de tails as shirts and waistcoats. Ha wore conspicuous Jewelry too! On his little finger there appeared usually a huge gold ring with red, white and blue stones In it. Occasionally he wore a gold scarf-pin representing Psyche asleep in a crescent moon. He was that sort of man. Sometimes Stephen found Alfred Munn smoking his cigarets, handling his precious books. Sometimes he found him fondling Laurel! Laurel didn't seem to object to It. Why should she?— Stephen asked bitterly. Stella was her mother. 4 The reason Laurel didn't seem to object to Alfred Munn's fondling her was for the sake of a marvelous watch he carried. He used to show It to her If she would come and sit in his lap. Laurel never forgot the wonders of that watch. W hen she grew up she thought of them when ever she thought of Alfred Munn. It was a gold watch, big and heavy, and very thick. There was a horse's head engraved on the back of it with a diamond eye that twinkled. His bridle was studded with tiny red. stones. Beneath the horse’s head on the inside of the back cover (which Mr. Munn had to pry open with his thick thumb-nail) was a picture of another horse with a lady In short skirts standing on tiptoes on his back! Underneath the white horse, way, wav Inside, next to the little gold wheel and blue screw-heads, was an other picture of a lady with long hair. She had no clothes on at all! One day (and It was that day Step hen had 'decided to go to New York) he had come upon Stella and Alfred Munn In the corridor of the Milhamp ton City club. They tagd been hav ing lunch there in the ladies' dining room. The City club was strictly a man s club. There was a ladies' dlnlg room, to be sure, but women did not niaJte a practice of lunching there without an escort who was a mepvber. This club had been the on* place outside his office where Stephen had felt f»r from Stella In Milhampton. Stephen wasn't alone when he met Stella and Alfred Munn. There was a lawyer from Boston with him. sti older man with whom hs had been conferring all the morning; and upon whom he was anxious to make Juet the right Impression. Stella had greeted Stephen with enthusiasm when she met him. and he had had to introduce tlie Boston lawyer to her. to present her impossible escort to him as well It was with a sinking heart that Stephen noticed that Stella had prob ably ordered something in th» way of liquor to go with the luncheon she h%l Just be»n enjoying with Munn. She was particularly vivac ious. Stella never drank enough of anything to lose her seif-control, but she did like getting her tongue un loosened. once In a while, she said, and hep ' flirting spirit up." Her • flirting spirit was up" now. Stephen observed. She made an arrh attempt to flirt with the Boston lawyer, as she fcav* him her hand! Stephen could fe»l himself grow red with mortification. He hastened the meeting to as speedy an end as possible, but brief ns It was, It un poised him. sapped him af all as surance and seif confidence He didn't want to look the Boston lawyer In the eyes after the meeting with Stella end Munn. That night he wrote to the New York law firm and definitely accepted their proposition. Stephen was in a mood to accept any proposition wh!ch offered him relief from Stella. CHAPTER IX. 1. Tt was only temporary relief hs contemplated, then. It was his In tention. when he fret went to New York, to establish Stella somewhere, sometime, within commuting distance of hi* business. Not within too easy commuting distance, however. "In New York a man's business life and his home life.” Mr. Palmer had one# said to Stephen, avoiding his eye# ss he did so. "can be made two dis tinct and separate affair*, which 1* difficult to accomplish In a place th# sire of Mtlhnmpton " When Stephen first went to New York. h« consulted several real eitat# ngonts and listened to many confus ing arguments about the desirability of this suburb over that.

It requires more time and unpleasant effort than the transportation , you get is worth. Consider the time spent in starting cold motors and shovel , ing snow, the inconvenience of cover ing the radiator at every stop and the dis comfort of changing tires or applying chains in snow and slush. It causes you a lot of trouble, not to mention the dis comfort and expense. Yet. even after all of the expense and effort, your car is less useful in winter than in summer be cause its use is confined to absolutely es sential travel. Why not substitute for cold weather driving the convenience and comfort of YELLOW CAB serv ice? You can thus avoid the grief of win ter motoring and yet enjoy all the comforts and benefits. When you stop to consider the added expense of motoring that winter brings, you will more readily appreciate the economy of YEL LOW CAB service. What does it cost each year for anti-freeze solution, radiator covers, winter tops, heaters and robes? How much more per mile does it cost for tires and gasoline and in depreciation on your car in the winter months?
