The Girls High school may not be fireproof, but if the efforts of Miss Jessie Muse, principal, count it surely is deathproof today. Unless a fire enveloped the building in four short minutes, cutting off all means of egress, every one of its 700 students would be standing on the side walk watching the flames. So perfect and rapid is the fire drill at the Girls High school that it takes but four minutes to empty the building of teach ers, students and janitors. And thia time has been attained day in and day out with the students as sembled in every conceivable manner. From the class rooms, the girls leaving by the fire escapes in twos, the build ing can be emptied in ever, shorter time. From the assembly room on the fourth floor the four-minute schedule has been worked out to a second. "Usually it is thought that it . takes a much longer time to empty a school building than it does," said Miss Muse, who is responsible for the efficiency of the students in the drijl. "If fire drill is gotten down to some sort of system and practiced often enough, there is absolutely no danger from fire | in any school building. If isn't rea sonable to suppose that a' tire could spread over a school building the size of this in four minutes. ( "Os course, you have > to guard against panics. In a panUc your fire drill goes to pieces and the students fight to got out. The only way to guard against a panic is to drill, drill until each girl knows her’ station by instinct. Then she goes through the motions of the drill unconsciously. In ease of real fire the building would be emptied before half of the students knew it was afire. They would think that it was a drill." Miss Muse's enthusiasm for the drill is not merely because of its necessity. She believes that it is a physical exer cise the students enjoy more than the ■ stereotyped calesthenics used in the class room. "They like the fire drill and enter into the spirit of it." she said in em phasizing this feature, "and this en thusiasm makes for efficiency." RAILROAD IS SUING FOR STRIKEBREAKER OUTFIT ST. LOUIS.

A decision is not looked for under 30 days, and it may be six weeks before the fate of the traveling men's petition is known definitely. The railroad commission has granted ; counsel approximately three weeks in which to submit arguments, direct and cross, and it will be at least a week or ten days after arguments are closed before the commission will be ready to . rule. The record in the case will be tre mendous and exhaustive. The com mission is determined that this hearing shall be final and conclusive. Both sides are confident of victory before the commission, but the greater Optimism undoubtedly- is with the rail road attorneys. They expect the com mission to refuse the traveling men's petition, upon the double ground of ab stract justice and want of jurisdiction. EELS CLOG MACHINERY; 3 TOWNS IN DARKNESS POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y..

Gri I j Over Rrown & Allen Dru, ROSE ON STAND, GOOD WED Climax of Becker Trial Reached When Confessing Gambler Tells of Slaying. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—The largest crowd that has yet turned out for the trial of Police Lieutenant Charles Beck cr for the murder of Herman Rosen thal besieged the Criminal Court build, ing today when "Bald Jack” 'Ros, was taken across the "Bridge of Sighs” from the Tombs to testify. Rose's appearance on the stand was the climax of the trial, for through him the state had learned all the details of the plot that resulted in the gambler's assassination on July 16. Through thj testimony of Morris Luban. the state brought out late yes terday that Becker, referring to Ro senthal, had declared: “If that is not croaked, I will croak him myself.” The next step, according to the state’s contention, was the hiring of the gun men to do the murder, and Rose's con fession was the chief point in the se quence of testimony. Defense Fights Hard. It is expected that Rose will be or. the stand for two or possibly three days, for the defense will leave noth ing undone to break down his testi mony. The prosecution had divided Rose’s testimony into ten important sections. These were: 1. His intimate association with Becker after the police lieutenant was appointed head of the "strong arm’’ squad, and his collection of money from gamblers "protected" by Becker. 2. Rosenthal's dealings with Beckfi and the manner in which the police lieutenant became Rosenthal’s partner In running a gambling house. 3. The raid Becker w r as forced tc make upon Rosenthal’s resort of chance, 4. Rosenthal’s determination to ex pose Becker’s system of collecting graft and the police lieutenant’s efforts to si lence the informer. Becker’s Threat to Gang, 5. Becker’s command that Rosenthal be put to death and his threats that ii Rose and “Bridgey” Webber did not hire assassins to kill the informer he would use his power to send the gamblers to prison through trumped-up charges. 6. The visit to the home of Mrs. Rsoa Gilbert, Rosenthal's first wife, to get an affidavit blackening the reputation »1 the Informer. 7. The killing of Rosenthal. 8. His meeting with Becker after the tragedy and the promises of continued protection by the police lieutenant. 9. The borrowing of SI,OOO from "Bridgey” Webber by Becker to P&J the hired assassins. 10.
