THEATER FULL OF
TRICKS TO FIGHT
FIRE
•CHIME OF GERMAN ENGINEER
INCLUDES ELECTRICALLY OP
ERATED DEVICES TO DROP IRON
CURTAINS AND SINK FLOOR.
BERLIN. Feb. I.—Paul Qrasseynu
ki. a prominent German constructing
engineer, utilizes the occasion of the
Boysrtown theater catastrophe for an-
Bouncing an entirely novel system of
Ere protection for opera and play
He declares that the iron stage cur
tain offers a wholly inadequate guaran
tee that the fire originating behind the
proscenium and the deadly gases
which it generates will be kept from
reaching the audience, with conse
quent panic and death.
He proposes a contrivance for drop
ping a series of iron curtains, not
from the proscenium arch, but im
mediately in front of the parquet
seats and in front of the various bal
cony seats. He also proposes a
wholly unique scheme whereby, on
pressing electric buttons scattered
throughout th 6 theater, not only vari
ous curtains are dropped, but the
whole parquet floor Is automatically
gunk a distance of seven feet, just as
If asat holders were suddenly to be
lowered by some gigantic elevator.
While they were “going down" huge
sections of asbestos flooring would
ahoot out from various sides of the
theater, so that before the seat holder
would reach bottom a fireproof cover
lag would bo over their heads. Numer
ous exists leading to the streets would
afford Immediate access to the open
air.
Similar exits would be provided from
the balconies, enabltn Vie audience,
after being shut behii the balcony
curtains, to leave the bti/ning theater
in absolute safety. Prof. Grasseynlski
says his scheme has been proved to be
technically practicable. It is probable
a trial theater of this sort will be built
and burned to demonstrate its
complete availability.
In Defense of Italians.
' Among the general public there is
» widespread impression that the-llal«-
lans, of all the European peoples, come
to this country with one main idea, to
connect with "the main chance" as
quickly as possible and then go back
to their native land to spend the dol
lars earned In America. The observa
tion of William A. Hoy. the settlement
worker, who is conducting a class at
Grace Neighborhood house. New York,
whose especial object is to fit Italians
for citizenship, leads him to say the
Impression is ill founded. Mr. Hoy
says that he knows of people of no
other nationality who evince a keener
eagerness to acquaint themselves with
the meaning of American laws and' in
stitutions. Germans, Hungarians and
members of other races whom he has
met in his work and who have frankly
forsaken their fatherlands for good arc
far more apathetic about obtaining a
proper understanding of the laws and
customs of America than are the Ital
ians, who have above all others been
charged with cherishing too fondly a
picture of the return’to their Tidine~Tn
the middle Mediterranean peninsula.
Expensive Gooseberry Bush.
Under the headline "An Expensive
Gooseberry Bush" an Austrian paper
prints this story: “On the boundary
line of two farms near R there Is.
a large gooseberry bush from which
the two farmers have for years gather
ed the product. What grows on my
side is mine, and you may have the
rest,’ was the agreement. Three years
ago the neighbors had a misunder
standing, and this came to a climax
when the gooseberries became ripe.
A lawsuit followed and appeals sere
made to higher judicial bodies. The
final decision h&s just been recorded.
This gives to both parties the right
to pick the berries which grow on
thelr ptde of the line —Just as It was
originally—and denies the right to de
stroy the bush to both contestants.
The costs were charged half to each
IRlgast.—Each fanner had to pny °?r>
kronen. The yearly yield of the bush
will bring about half a kronen and the
judge told the fighting farmers: ‘With
good luck it will take you only *OO
years to make the bush pay. Take
good care of if ’’

LANSING. Mich., Feb. I.—(Spe
cial) —Pay for delegate# of the con
stitutional convention ceased last
night, and their future work in com
pleting the new constitution must be
for glory, or a# very properly suggest
ed, to mako good the large amount
of lost time. It Is the general verdict

It is realised now' that they must

ICE HARVESTERS’

WITH PIKES.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., Feb. I.
Two opposing bodies of men, repre
Renting two of the leading Ice com
panies of Grand Rapids, are drawn up
In battle array on the shores of Moon
lake, Muskegon county. All are arm
ed with pike poles and await the move
of the other to begin hostilities.
The trouble began wbon the two
companies declared their legal right
to cut ioe on the territory selected
by the other. Thursday morning about
75 men were put to work cutting ice
by the Moon Lake Cos. A short time
later 61 men employed by the West
Side Ice Cos. put in an appearance on
the scene and for a time it seemed
that both bodies would ciaah.
Fanners and residents from neigh
boring districts are now gathered on
the shore expecting to witness a con
flict when the strip of ice disappears.
Pike poles are ugly weapons and the
fanners fear that blood may flow be
fore a lasting treaty is made.

Preserving Art Treasures.
A protest against the desecration of
a Raphael bqllding by a resident of
Rome is published by the Neue Freie
Presse of Vienna. Tne writer says
that great fortunes are spent every
year to reclaim and preserve antique
works of art. Hardly a day passes
without some discovery in the way of
art treasures and in the contemplation
qL these the artistic world iorgets
those which unfortunately have al
ready been discovered. One of these
is the Church of St. Eltglo delgi Ore
flei. between the Via Giulia and the
Tiber. This FFeautlful work was be~
gun by Raphael in 1509. It was finish
ed In 1529, nine years after his death.
But it was, nevertheless, the master's
first work of the kind and deserves a
better fate than it has. Filth and dirt
surround it, and the facade is bespat
tered and unclean. The portal has
long since been broken down, for the
building is now on old furniture store
house and is filled with all kinds df
broken-down pieces. Spiders are ev
erywhere. and spicier webs are thick
upon the walls. The edges of the
carvings have been knocked away anu
are crushed under foot by the people
who visit the place. "I protest.” says
the writer, “in the name of all do
cenry.”
A school of languages for parrots
has been established in Paris. The
birds are taught to speak English,
French. German and Italian.

RESIGNS ,
SCANDAL IN HUNTING SET OF
WARWICKSHIRE STIRS ENGLISH
MINISTERS TO ACTION—CLASH
g ’
WITH BISHOP.
ii
LONDON, Feb. I.—-Society thorough
out England Is deeply stirred by ft
scandal in the exclusive hunting cir
cles of Warwickshire, where two An-
Klicau clergymen, revoallng them
selves, to some extent, replicas in real
life of John 9torm. the hero of Hall
Caine’s novel "The Christian," have
Just resigned their pastorates on ac
count of what they term the "excessive
immorality" among the high society of
their districts.
Iu announcing his decision to give
up hts place, the rector and Honorary
Canon of Hampton-Lucy, in the dio
cese of Worcester, which carries with
it a living of almost $5,000, and was
given him by Lady Ramsay Fairfax
Lucy In 1874, the Rev. Osbert Mord
aunt declares that he is unable longer
to regard the injunction of silence im
posed by his bishop, but must, as fol
lower of the Master, speak out boldly,
i The Rev. F. Tobin, the rural dean of
North Kingston, has followed closely
Mr. Mordaunt’s action with a similar
declaration. He was once famous as a
Cambridge athlete.
Bishop Speaks Out.
The bishop of Worcester, to whom
the Incensed clergymen refer, has Just
granted an Interview, which seems to
strengthen their charge, for, as to his
Injunction of secrecy concerning ex
isting conditions, he is quoted as say
ing:
“With regard to Mr. Mordaunt’s res
ignation, it were better to take no no
tice of the statement made about 1L
save to say that I have accepted it,
which aeems to me to be sufficient."
The bishop has been asked to recon
sider Mr. Tobin’s resignation.
Warwickshire, as a hunting district,
i is, of course, one of the most exclusive
In all England, and several of those

his high Indignation, and the vicar
made matters worse by blindly writ
ing a letter to both the man and the
woman .explaining the exact reasons
of his action. For some time the slight
ed worshippers talked of bringing suit
against the clergyman, but nothing
came of it except to bring the scanda
lous conditions that are alleged to ex
ist in the district to the surface.
Preaches Sermon on Sin.
Accordingly Rev. Mr. Mordaunt
preached a sermon against khe sins of
society which compares favorably with
the famous series delivered by Father
Vaughan in London, and at the conclu
sion he announced his resignation. He
took for his text Ephesians, 6. 20:
•“t'rir which I am-- aa ambassador in
bonds: that therein I may speak bold
ly, as I ought to speak." He said in
part:
"The immorality among some of the
upper classes of this neighborhood has
lately caused grievous scandal. At a
meeting held last week by eight or
nine clergy men we decided unanimous
ly to speak out upon the matter, and
that because we cannot let it be sup
posed by the working classes that we
could ever rebuke such sin in them
and be silent about it when It occurs
among their social betters. We hail
addresses distributed around about on
purity, and these were certainly need
ed, but the only wonder is that the
working classes remain as moral a&
they are considering the example set.
by those above them. Still adultery
among the working classes is compar
atively rare.
"Even last week pressure had been
brought to bear upon us not to speak
on the subject, hut St. John the Bap
tlst, or St. Paul, or our Lord Himself,
would they hold their tongues for the
cake of wealth or of titled names? I
myself resisted publicity until all poss
ibilities of tnaintalning secrecy passed
away."
After declaring that he would not
mention names and warning Innocent
persons of the dangers of living in a
poisoned atmosphere, Mr. Mordaunt
declared that society mothers should
bring up their daughters differently.
Tn referring to hunting circles he said:
"When sport becomes the sole mo
tive and object in life, when men and
women who can afford it do nothing
but sit down to oat and rise up to play,
this amounts to idolatry with which
other results are to be expected; for
those that live In pleasure are dead
while they live. Would to God that
those who have never' done a day's
work and tire themselves oniy with
sport would learn that God sent them
Into the world for something Detter.”
Mr. Mordaunt then announced hi*
resignation. He asserts that he was
not aided in his fight by the bishop,
with whom he had a wordy warfare.
Other resignations among the clergy
are not unlikely. In the meantime a
damper has been put on the ardor of
hunting enthusiaats, who should be at
the zenith of the season's activity.
Dog Observed Sunday.
"I ran heat that," said a man in a
New York club, when the atory of the
time-telling fox terrier, which was re
cently published, was under discus
sion. "Tip was an Irish setter—his
name was really Tipperary, and Tip
for abort. He knew when it was Sun
day and he kept the day. He was tha
only Sabbatarian dog I ever knew. He
used to sleep on a mg in my room.
I had to keep early hours In those

WEDDING SEQUEL
NOT ROMANTIC
JOHN MARTIN AND BRIDE AND
LATTER’S PARENTS NABBED
AS PEACE DISTURBERS.
The romantic marriage of John Mar*
tin and Mies Ida May Shaw, Friday
moaning, following the girl's confea
slon to the police that she had stolen
from several down-town stores to sup
port herself and her lover, had a most
unromantlc sequel, Friday afternoon,
when the paJr were again arrested,
along with the girl's mother and step
father, Mr. and Mrs. Peter McGill, on
a charge of disturbing the peace. The
quartet had been celebrating the nup
tials.
Through the efforts of friends all
four were released, toward evening, to
appear In the early session of the po
lice court Saturday morning. Only
Martin and his father-iu-law were on
hand when the cases were called, how
ever, and they explained that the wo
men were too sick to appear. McGill
charged that Patrolman Dan Smith
had kicked Mrs. McGill, hut the of
ficer denied the charge.
The trouble occurred in the apart
ments of Mr. and Mrs. McGill, at No.
109 Jefferson-ave. east., whither the
wedding party repaired Immediately
after the ceremony before Justice Olt.
McGill declares that the “wine list’’
consisted of one pint bottle of whisky,
and denies that any member of the
party was drunk. But Patrolman
Smith asserts that the company was so
boisterous that the noise could be
heard in the street, and his sudden
appearance on the scene was prompt
ly resented, with the result that the
officer called the patrol wagon and
bundled the celebrators off to the
Woodbrldge station.
Justice Stein adjourned the case un
til Tuesday.

reckless demagogue. The whole mes

what he calls ‘criminal wealth’ and it
proceeds on the slanderous assump

corporate business of this country Is
so corrupt as to demand special mes
sages to congress, popular harangues
by the president, and the entire time,
ability and effort of the congress in a
volume of corrective legislation such
as the world has never seen.
"It is wrong, a great wickedness,

slandering it with all the ’envenomed’
Influence of his great office while its

been a farce that this Inconsistency
seems to have escaped Mr. Roosevelt’s
ethical standard, of which he makes
so much.
"As I am one of those ‘hired’ book

"It is the best Democratic, doctrine

The motion was agreed to and with
out further comment the message was
referred to the committee on inter

message progressed in the house num

"Most unusual,’’ and "This is red hot.’’
Tho president's vigorous denunciation
of wrong doers was greeted with loud
applause as was his defense of federal
judges who punish offenders for viola

The message on motion of Mr.

Later in the day, in the course of
some remarks in the house on another

"Nobody expected President Roose
