DAITGES LURKS ON EVERY HAHD Daniel C. French, Who Will Model Lincoln Monnment, la ot to likmll Work I ntll Nest Fall. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 23 (Special.) A. V. Johnson, state f.ra warden, has written a li tter to Stat Superintendent Bishop iui geatlng that a day or an hour of aome day e.ioh month be et aside for tha teachera tt Instruct their pupila about how to prevent flrea and what to do In aome L-ergenclea. It la Mr. Johnson's Idea that jr tha children are taught the dangaroue uaa of gasoline and keroaano and what to do In case of explosion, as well aa how to prevent flrea by keeping refuse burned and the danger of pt-rmttting old papera to ba stacked In an attic or closet that the lessons now learned will remain with them always. Mr. Johnaon gave out the following state ment today: The Nebraska Fire cnmmMon business It la to do every thing P"'' lr,r the prevention of fire waste desire, to direct public attention to the asW-rral cleanup during the spring time, ix-lul that hns accumulated during the winter montha should be tnoroughly cleared away. The reasons for thli i are obvious, one which miKht be mentioned la that tnia debris la often responsible for spontaneous combustion, which, more prevalent during the hot Bummer montha than during the colder period, la generally regarded i by ex perienced fire flgntera aa one of the chief cauaea of what are called ' unknown flrea. Too often houses are built without giving proper consideration to attlo ventilation; the hot summer sun beata on the roof, the heat In the attlo become Intense and with the attlo f lUed with rubblah, dust, oily lugs, highly varnlshfd piece of furniture or other accumulations spontaneous com bustion Is a natural result. Closets are often used for storing away rreasy overalls, old clothes and oUy rags; f... .hmiM he thoroughly cleaned and hla la particularly true of the closet under the stairway, which la too often per muted to become a fire trap Immediately under the only way of escape from the .f h hnlldlnar. This la the season for varnishing and painting, hence old raga uaed for wiping Kreasy wood and varnished aurfacaa should be bunted; If they must be saved for future uae they ahould be kept In an Iron receptacle aubstantlally covered and set away from the wood buildings. mA niiv rm. varnish and waate, used to wipe machinery are partlcularlly n.ntiniuiiui combustion. We desire to suggest that when people are removing their etoves for the summer montha. If they weuld be careful to see that the hole In Tne cnimney w. .i..k with a metal thimble and not with paper , r.ca it would prevent a great many i m.nintnal anthorltls will exert some efforts to have property ownera and tenants observe these suggestion, considerable fire waste may be avoided. Burglar Gets Bnay. , Someone attempted to enter the office of Attorney General Thompson last night and the lock on, the door showed up this morning badly disfigured, indicating that someone had tried to bore through It. Sometime ago Mr. Thompson had In his safe some evidence to be used against the -Burlington railroad In a suit to force. .complianoe with, the law to prevent the 'sale of llaiior on' trains, but it is not gen- orally believed that Lineolit la dry enough -to drive anyone to rob a. safo to get a drink. So Mr. Thompson Insists that ho ha no Idea, what anyone would want to take from the office unless his opinions have Wimi so valuable that men. are ready i Yiurrlarv to get one. - and this may be what the burglars wanted. When Norrls Brown was attorney gen eral he sent to Judge Sinclair a copy of his opinions bound. In a few days the book was returned with a letter from Jdde Sinclair, saying the publication was very valuable and inasmuch as he had no safe In which to keep it he requested that the volume be locked In the safe In the office of the attorney general. The bur glar may have wanted that book. Model Submitted la Foil. Danlef C. French, who has a. contract to construct the Lincoln monument, to be located on th grounds of.the state nouse. has written to F. M. Hall that he will not submit the model until next fall. Mr. French said In his letter that the model had been completed, but that he Is shortly leaving ' for Europe and therefore he de sires to look over It again before sending It to Nebraska. He believes after an ab sence of a few months he will be more able to say whether the model la up to the standard he dealres to set oy mis work. He Informed Mr. Hall that he ex pected to make this monument his best work If possible. . ' . ; Decision Modified. The supreme court today - modified to a cerWin extent an opinion recently handed own regarding the Royal Highlanders. In that 'decision It was held that the edicts adopted In 1906 were nil and void Insofar as they "related to the plaintiff. The lodge ask(d the court to modify Its opinion so as to decide that the amendments to tha edicts of 1906 gave the order a representa tive form of government. The court re fused to do this, holding that Its former opinion was simply In the case filed and had nothing to do with the status of the order at this time. The court withdrew Its criticism of the order, expressed In Its former opinion and said It had no knowl edge that the lodge had not areprescnta- tlve form of government at this time. It said It Is entirely unbiased In the matter and would not pass on this question until the matter Is before It In regular form. The court adhered to Its former opinion 'as to what a representative form of govern mcnt I as expressed In Lange agalnat the Royal Highlanders. The order asked that government more particularly. Petitioners Not Responsible. The supreme court has held that the Per son who algna a petition for a liquor license Is not responsible for costs In lawsuits that may follow an appeal from the Issu ance of the licenses. The caae came from Otoe county, where one Bernard Carls se cured a license to run a saloon at Dunbar. A remonstrance was filed with the village board and overruled. The remonstratora appealed to the district court and the vil lage board was reveraed and the coats of the appeal taxed to the petitioners. The petitioners hsd not been notified of th suits and were not represented by coun sel. They brought suit In equity to pre vent the officers from collecting the costa of the suit. The remonstratora filed a demurrage to the petition and aet up that the petitioners should have moved to retax the coata. The petitioners won out In the district court and today the supreme court affirmed that decision. The court went further and said the petitioners were In no way responsible and could not be made parties to the suit. Mlaaonrl PaclMo Loses. Maggie Wollenburg, who won a damaga ult agalnat the Missouri Pacific in the lstrict court of Douglas county, after hav ing been tossed some sixty-five feet by an nglne, won out also In the supreme court. Justice Barnes dissented and argued that the woman had contrlhi- accident by not looking out for the train. ;if; The cltlsena eommlttee which has In harge the promotion of a celebration In New York In 1913 has Invited Governor Shallenberger to be its guest at a banquet to be given May S at the Hotel Astor.

Attempt to Fly from London to Manchester Graham White Forced to Descend by Storm After Making: 115 Miles in Farman Biplane. LONDON. April 23. Graham White, the English aviator who .started this morning on a biplane flight from Wormwood Scrubs. London, for Manchester, in an at tempt to win- the prise of S50.000 offered by a morning newspaper, had accomplished mors than half of the Journey when com- ie) pellod to descend on account of the Intense cold. He hoped, however, to completers flight this afternoon. The distance between London and Man chester Is 1S6 miles, and under the trms of the prise only two 'descents are per mitted. White used a Farman biplane. Ha reached Rugby, the first stopping place, in two hours, and after an hour's rest, re ascended, intending to fly to Crewe, where he had arranged to mako hla second detcent. A few miles north of Rugby ths aviator encouhtered a cold north wind and, after completing 115 miles of the trip, he was compelled to alight. Today there was a sudden change from warm to wintry weather and, unless the wind moderates, It Is doubtful whether the aviator can com plete his flight In one day as required.
