FIRE ESCAPES FOR SCHOOLS
Authorities Try to Have Iron Stairs Placed
on All the Buildings.
SCHOOL BOARD IS INCLINED TO RESIST
In Cn e of the I.nrKcr Slrncltire * Thin
Would Can HC the Outililc to
lie Covoreil with ( lie
Chairman Atklna of the city fire and
committee and Flro Chief Hates have served
notlco on the Hoard of Education that the
"flro cscapo ordinance" must bo complied
with and that all echool buildings coming
within the provisions of the measure tuus
bo provided with the necessary flro escape
ladders. If In the caeo of the city schools
the ordinance bos to bo strictly compiled
with It will mean an outlay of a largo
amount of money for the district. The ma
jority of the members of the school board
ere opposed to placing flro escapes on thtt
school buildings and aomo of them contend
that the city has no authority to compel
their erection. The matter has not yet been
officially brought before the members of tha
board , but will be at the next meeting.
Alderman Atkins , the father of the ordi
nance and chairman of the fire and light
committee , In whoso hands the enforcement
of Uio provisions of the measure lies , states
that It Is his Intention to see that every
school building that comes within the scope
of the ordinance shall bo provided w'lth
proper and suitable flre escapes and as many
as may bo decided by him and Chief Dates
to bo necessary for each building.
A feature of the ordinance that particularly
affects school buildings Is that dt provides
that all buildings two stories or moro In
height used for manufacturing purposes or
for hotels , public halls , schools , hospitals
or asylums shall have at least one stair
flro escape for every fifty persons occupy
ing the building. Taking ithe enrollment of
the different school as a basis , this means
that If the city Intends to strlotly onforeo
the measure at the Washington avenue
school building , where there are nearly 900
pupils In attendance , eighteen flre escapes
would have to bo erected. As the front of
the building la taken up with an ornamental
cupola , the other three walls of the building
would have to carry six flre escapes apiece.
Thin will mean that the three sides of the
building will bo practically covered with a
network of Iron stairways.
At the High school , where there are 400
pupils , there will have to be eight escapes ;
nt the Bloomer building , where there are
over 500 children , there will have to be ten
or eleven ; at the Twentieth Avenue , with 470
pupils , there wfll have to be ten ; at Pierce
Street there will have to bo eight and at
Eighth Street seven. The Third Street
school will require six , the Second Avenue
school the same number , Avenue B five ,
Madison Avenue three and Thirty-second
Street echool three , whllo two will be suf
ficient for the Harrison street building. In
all the district will be called upon to erect'
about ninety stair flro escapes , ranging from
two to four stories In 'height. ' This It Is
estimated will mean an outlay of anywhere
from $15,000 to ? 25,000. Under the ordinance
even the now school at Cut-Off when com
pleted will have to bo provided with one or
moro of these stair flro escapes.
President Sims , In discussing the matter
yesterday , said : "I do not believe flre es
capes are proper appliances for school
buildings. In fact , I am opposed to them ,
as I believe that In case of an alarm of flre
the children would fall over one anothei
In the rush down the oecapes and more
would be killed this way than by the flro
Itself. With the system now In vogue and
the broad staircases In all the school build
ings , down which the pupils can march
eight abreast , any building can bo emptied
In from two to three minutes. The chil
dren are regularly drilled and , even at
Washington avenue , where there are close
upon 800 pupils , the building can be emptied
In three minutes. The danger from flro In
any of our school 'buildings ' Is very slight.
It is not like a hotel where the danger from
flre Is principally when tha guests are asleep.
Of course , It would be Impossible to say
how the children would act In a real case
of flro , but If the teachers keep their heads
I do not believe there would be any diffi
culty In getting all the children safely out
of the building down the broad stairways. "
Chairman Cooper of the committee on
buildings and grounds Is opposed to flre es
capes on the schools. Ho said yesterday :
"I am not In favor of putting flre escapes
on the school buildings because I believe
that In case of flre more children would be
killed or Injured by falling down or from
the escapes than by flre or accident In es
caping by the present stairways. Flro drill
lo practiced In all of the school buildings
and , as I understand It , any school can bo
emptied within three minutes' time. I be
lieve that the principals in every building
should pay particular attention to this drill. "

TIIOUCJHT TO llliJ CASIJ OF SUICIDtt.
Uonil lloily of nil IJIilerly Mini In IM -
rnvcrcil In 11 Klcltl.
The dead body of an elderly man sup
posed to bo Henry Collins of North Platte ,
Neb was .found Tuesday evening In the
field at ho cast end of Avenue G , adjoining
Falrvlew cemetery. Within a few feet of
the body was a box that formerly contained
twenty-fly3 grains of morphine and every
thing Indicated that It was a case of suicide.
That the man had arranged everything care
fully for Us end was plainly evident. Ho
had taken off his coat , rolled It up and
placed It for a pillow under hie head. His
hat he had tilted forward over his eyes.
The body was first scon early In the morn
ing by I.ouls Fitch , a small boy living In
the neighborhood. Ho thought It was some
man sleeping off a drunk anil paid no at
tention. Later In the afternoon ho saw the
man was still there and told ono of the
neighbors about It. An Investigation was
mode and It woo found that the man was
dead and had apparently been so for a num
ber of hours. The police and Coroner Trey
nor were notified and the body removed to
Undertaker Estop's rooms ,
The box that had contained the morphine
bore the label of George S. Davis , the
Broadway druggist , and Inquiry there
showed that a man giving the name of Henry
Collins purchased the drug Monday after
noon a little before 6 o'clock. He said ho
was In the habit of taking It. A llttlo later
n man answering the description of the sui
cide was wen by residents on Avenue G
going towards the cemetery. This leads to
the presumption that the man committed
suicide between 6 and 7 o'clock Monday
night. His features had become somewhat
bloated from exposure to the sun.
The only effects found on his person were
a pocket book containing 4 cents , some to
bacco , a knife , a 10-cent novel entitled
"Tho Detective's Pretty Neighbor , " by Nick
Carter , and a pleco of paper containing the
following :
"HEnSHEY , Neb.May 23,1809 Henry Col
lins , North Platte : Dear Sir : Enclosed find
chock for $4.50. Please sign chock and re
turn. Yours respectfully , LINCOLN AP-
PLEGE. "
The name of the writer Is not very plain
and might possibly bo Applogate.
The dead man was dressed In a neat suit
of gray tweed and his gray slouch hat ,
which appeared almost now bore the trade
mark of W. A. Vollmer , North Platte , Neb.
Ho appears to be betwen 50 and 55 years
of age. His hair Is dark , but his carefully
trimmed moustache Is light. His eyes are
blue. ,
Several persons who have seen the body
at the morgue claim to have noticed the
man on the streets , but so far It has not
been ascertained If he was stopping In this
city or what his business hero was. Cor
oner Treynor will hold an Inquest this morn-
Ing.

Sick and
E. E. Wheeler , who with his wife and 2-
year-old baby girl was making his way
from Indiana to northern Wyoming , where
he has relatives , Is stranded here. His wife
Is in an almcet dying condition from con
sumption and Wheeler is penniless. On
August 12 Wheeler and his family , and his
sister and her husband and family , left
Harrison county , Indiana , to drive overland
to Wyoming. They had two covered wagons ,
the entire outfit belonging to Edward Dlde-
lot , the husband of Wheeler's sister. Mrs.
Wheeler became sick and was unable to at
tend to any of the work when the party
would camp for the night. They reached
here Tuesday morning and Just this side of
the motor bridge the Dldelots threw the
bedding and trunks belonging to Wheeler
and his family out of the wagons and told
them they would have to shift for them
selves. They then drove across the bridge ,
leaving Wheeler and his elck wife and baby
sitting by the roadside. A kindly disposed
woman living In the neighborhood took the
unfortunate woman and her baby In whllo
the husband came up town to try to secure
assistance. Overseer ot the Poor Miller pro

probably be made today to send them on

DES MOINES , Sept. 2C. ( Special Tel
egram. ) Clarence H. ChllJs , vice president
and attorney for the Guarantee Building
and Loan association ot Minneapolis , arrived
hero today to consult with Attorney General
Remlcy relative to the affairs cf the asso
ciation. The concern recently made an as
sessment of 30 per cent upon 1U members
and the members are making objections.
The company loaned money on western se
curities , especially on property In Oregon
boom cities , and when the bottom went out
of the boom the association had $130,000 tlcn
up In land worth but $50,000. The com
pany has $125,000 on depcslt with the auditor
of state of Iowa to secure the fulfillment of
Its contracts with Iowa members who hold
$100,000 In stock , and because of the fact
that the attorney general has stated that
thcflo would bo hold until the Iowa members
were satisfied , Chllds came to hold a con
ference. It was agreed that the securities
will be held and the Iowa attorney general
will take no action until the Minnesota offi
cials have made their official report.
Jailor .Mn.xrrcll Mity Mve.
County Jailor Maxwell , who was terribly
Injured In yesterday's Jail delivery , Is some
hotter today and there Is now a slight hope
of his recovery. A dispatch from Oolwelti
says Uio officers there have arrested a man
whom they believe to be > "Peggy" Benson ,
ono of the escaped crooks. Benson Is an old
offender In Des Molncs police circles. Ho
had Just "been recaptured and placed under
arrest Sunday after having Jumped his ball
bond about a year ago. Dimmltt is a
mulatto with a very unsavory record who
had only recently been freed from the pen
itentiary , where he had served two terms.
Ho also has a term to his credit In Min
nesota.
ImliiNtrlnl School ChniiKc.
Superintendent Leonard of the Industrial
school at Mltchellvllle , has filed his resig
nation with the state board of control , to
take effect at once , and James 'N , Miller
of Des Molncs , was today appointed to suc
ceed him. Miller will assume his new duties
Monday.
It Is known that the board recently laid
down certain rules In regard to the dietary
of state Institutions
, which some super
intendents claimed could hardly bo lived
up to the letter. The board asked those
who could not meet the demands made upon
them to stop down and out and make room
for men who could , but It Is not said that
the dissatisfaction of the board or of Su
perintendent Leonard was the cause of his
resignation.
Fro t Good for the Corn.
Des Molnes experienced Its first frost last
night and reports show that It was general
throughout the state. Chief Sago of the
Iowa weather and crop service says :
"It will not hurt corn at nil. Even If the
corn was ten days later than It Is no injury
would result.i , The fact of the matter Is
that a light frost at this time of the year
may easily be of assistance to the corn. In
stead of a detriment. The process of grow
ing and formation has to be completely
stopped before the complete ripening pro
cess sets In , and the frost In this respect
Is a benefit. Again , the killing of the
weeds in tbo fields is of an assistance as
permitting what moisture there may bo , to
all go to the corn. "
Committees started to work today to raise
$1,500 for the purpose of giving the two
Des Molnes companies In the Fifty-first Iowa
a welcome.
