Grand Rapids, March 5.
Grand Rapids was threatened
with a repititiou of Cleve-
land's tragedy of yesterday,
even on a larger scale, today.
Fire broke out In the labora-
tory of the Central high
school, but the 12 00 pupils
were n.arcaed out in perfect
order, the building being
emptied in two and' one-half
' minutes. The school is over-
crowded and the stairways in-
adequate, but the tire drill
proved effective and little
damage was done.
That no panic occurred was
probably due to the fact that

Constable IMunk was cilllvcl to Mar
cola yi'sterday by a telephone mes
sage saying that three men were seen
In William Amos' Htoro there are
night before carrying away the goods
In lhe store. The constable went, up
on lhe iifternoon train and when be
got there,' h found that the doors
of the store which had been nailed up
by him some time previously, the
store having been closed by attach
ment proceedings, had not be-n mo
lested and none of the goods were
gone. Five different men swore that
they saw those men In the store, and
could not hcltcvo that nothing had
been disturbed. The constable made
an Investigation and found lb;it. throe
men were engaged during the night
moving some things out of a building
adjoining and placed them on the
buck porch of thc store to haul them
away. These five men saw them
through the glass doors of both tho
front and rear of tho store, andMt
appeared very much as If tho men
were Inside. .
Constable Plank went to Marrola
again this afternoon to arrnngo for
the sale of the attached goods.
Mrs. Julia Kilby, the old Indian
woman, famous for her age and en
durance, died at Itanler Tuesday at
the age of 111 years. Mrs. Kiiliy be
longed o the Tumwhiitea and Cas
cades tribes. She married n w hite j

mother of fourteen children. Mrs.

suffered a broken arm, which when,

Tiie lerrlhle fire In the Cleveland,
Ohio, school bouse yesterday has
caused Inquiry inning lhe citizens
or Hiigeno iih to the miMy of lhe
public: school buildings here. The
(iiiaiil today Interview Chiilrmnn Os
biirn, of tho board of eiliicnlloii, in
regard to the mutter. Ho sulci;
"As far as 1 know lhe school build
ings of Kiigen',' are very safe from
fire. The furnaces lit. all of tne
blinding are practically noAv and a!
each building there is ample appara
tus for ext ingiilsblng a blaze should
one ncciir. In the high school build
ing 1 lu re are reels of largo hose on
each floor anil at the oilier buildings
there are several small hydrants lu
the yards with plenty of hose kept In
roadlioHs for. Instant use. Ilesldcs
those, there' Is a fire hydrant In closet
proximity lo each of the bulldltigi.
The children are given fire drills
regularly and the short llnio It takes
them to gi't 011 1 of tbn biillellng after
the alarm Is souueleil Is remarkable.
As fur as I know the outside doors lit
all the buildings open outward, thus
complying with the stale law In this
regard."
It was reported on the streets to
day that oni of the outside doors nt
the (eoury building opens toward the
Inside, hut upon Inquiry from Snper
lutende'iit Alderman The fluarcl learns
that this is not true and that at each
of the hull, lings the nw Is strictly
compiled with.
In this connection It might be well
to statu that the outside doora at the
court house open toward the Inside.
The building was erected before the
law requiring thc doors of public
buildings lo open outward was pas
sed, but the change should have been
mnile long ago.
