CONSPIRED Fire at Reform Séhool the Result of In- Official Report Made by Herbert W. Lewis, Superintendent of Charities —The Trustees Concur. — The superintendent oficharities, Mr. Her- bert W. Lewis, todaymade his report to the Commissioners of tHe recent fire at the girls’ reform school. He says there was evidently a conspiracy to burn the school. His report in full is as follows: “I have made carcful inquiry regarding the circumstances attending the fire wnich eccurred at the reform school for girls, the evening of the 20th instant, and in response to the request received frqm the president of the board of Commissioners, I have the honor of submitting the following report: “Shortly before 6 o’clock the evening of the 20th instant, while the inmates of the school were preparing for supper,the alaria of fire was given by a child, who had been sent to the laundry on an errand. Miss Rule, the superintendent, was absent, and the institution was in charge of Miss Rear- don, the school teacher. Hasty examina- tion revealed the fact that the inside of the laundry room was burning, and that the fire had made such headway before it was discovered that the entire building was in the greatest danger. The three men employed about the place instantly re- sponded to calls for help. The matron and teachers assembled the inmates on the lawn in front of the building and did what they could to prevent the outbreak of dan- werous excitement. Two girls who had heen locked in cel!s were promptly released. Precautions Taken. “It appearing likely that the fire would spread to all parts of the building, the office and parlor furniture and fixtures from the front part of the building were removed by the girls, under direction of the officers in charge. “The upper floors of the building are sup- plied with hose kept attached to pipes communicating with the water suppl: fire, however, originated in the base- which is not so supplied, and the fire hore could not be brought ‘into use. A small hose was secured and attached to a water pipe in the bi ent, and with this Schaffer, the overseer, crept under the stifling smoke into the burning room, where he remained until the fire was under con- trol. I'he two other men gave valuable as- sistance. “After the return of the girls to the house, and upon calling the roll, it was discovered that five were gone. Word was at once sent to the police department, and other efforts made to recover the abscond- ers. with the result that all were returned within twenty-four hours. A Conspiracy Formed. “I visited the school, in company with Maj. Frank Strong and Mr. Chapin Brown of the board of trustees. After looking cver the building and grounds and putting the girls who escaped through a searching examination, we quite agree that there was a conspimacy to burn the building, in which all the girls who escaped, and possibly others, were implicated. Four of the girls unite in saying that the fire was actually started by Katie Tillman, the youngest of the five. although they all deny having seen her do it. Jt igs certain that they talked about setting the place on fire for several days before the plan was carried out, and t they’ hoptd for the destruc- tion of the institution in order that they skculd no longer be confined in it. One girl says the object was to set at liberty two inmates who were in punishment cells. “The child who is accused of starting the fire is about twelve years old, and has no criminal record, while the others In the conspiracy are from fifteen to twenty years of age, and at least one of them has a criminal record. Chief Culprit Named. “The superintendent of the school and the members of the ‘board of trustees, who have made special. inguiry, are freely of the opinion that Alberta Gibson, the oldest girl at the school and the one whose rec- ord is specially bad, was the instigator of the affair and chie responsible for it. A significant circumstance, in this connec- tion, is the fact that one of the girls, who at the time was under punishment, and to secure whose release from solitary con- firement the fire is sald by one of the girls to have been started, has been on specially intimate terms with Alberta Gibson, and was associated with her in another at- tempted escape about six weeks ago. “Each of the girls who left the school at the time of the » declares that they went out of the yard inclosing the rear doors of the institution through a hole un- der the fence. Some of them say that ihe hcle had been there for a long time, partly cencealed by a small log laid against the bottom of the fence. Others say it was made, or at least enlarged, by one of the laundry girls the afternoon of the fire, with a small shovel used to fill the laundry stoves. Reason for Doubt. “I examined the place attentively, and it seemed to me almost incredible that a full- grown woman could have forced her body through an opening made at the point shown me. I found, however, that loose dirt had been filled in on the outside, and there having been a heavy rain since the escape, and before my examination, I could come to no positive conclusion as to wheth- er this opening had really furnished a Tueans of escape or not. There was ample opportunity for the girls to get away from the company on the lawn during the excite- ment and commotion attending the fire and the removal of furniture from the front pert of the building; and, in fact, several did leave unobserved, but returned volun- tarily and were present at roll call. “Whether the opening under the fence was used as a means of escape from the yard or not is of importance only from the fact that, if so, preparation beforehand would strengthen the supposition of a con- spiracy to burn the building, and would raise the question of how opportunity was found for its preparation, unobserved by the officers of the school. Whether so used or not, some work had no doubt been done on it. A Prior Visit. “I called at the school the afternoon of the 20th, before the fire. I was admitted at the front door by one of the inmates. I inquired for the superintendent, and, learn- ing that she was absent, asked for the matron. I waited at the office while the girl conveyed my request to some one with- in. Presently one of the teachers came to the office and reported that the matron Was upstairs and did not wish to come down unless my business was urgent. I did my errand with the teacher and de- parted. “Rule 14 of the general regulations of the institution ts as follows: ‘Ali locking and unlocking must be-:done by the proper offi- cers of the school, and under no circum- stances must the girls be allowed to carry or handle the keys.’ “Rules 8, 4 and 5, “under “Rules for the Matron,’ seem to place'the laundry specifi- cally under her charge, and particularly provides that doors going into the yards must be ‘always kept locked.’ Sought an Opportunity. “It seems to me impossible to avoid the conclusion that the girls working in the laundry, having in mind the purpose to fire the building, waited for an occasion upon which the superintendent should be ab- sent, when they had more or less free ac- cess to the yard, and»when, the work for the day being confpleted, no one might be expected to visit the laundry and so dis- ccver an ineipient conflagration, and when the roor: being filled with dry clothes would be more apt to place the fire beyond control in a short time. “Having these favorable conditions, the one thing necessary, in order to perfect the opportunity for the commission of the crime contemplated, was the absence of any officer of the school whose duty it wes to see the close of the Jaundry work for the day, lock the laundry and conduct the girls to another part of the building. This seems to have also been furnished, and the failure of the attempt to destroy the school is due to several fortunate circumstances, such as the availability of the little hose, well-filled water and the possibility of instant response by the men to calls for ‘essistance. “The fire did net reach any part of the building outside the room in which it was ‘For Men. 66 Pa dere Dre “ighmle” and “Columbia.” ° for six Socks, Men's Corner. -11th st. door Be ft doen “Clinton” Safety Pins ++-g1c88 “Security” Hooks and Eyes. .Half-pound cakes Castile Soap... large balls Crochet Silk...Sewing Ma- Chine Ol..-ON Cans. -Curlins Irons ° Cashmere Darning W. ©£7Some of these Shirt Waists vere $1 ble."

To Prevent Recurrence. “Closer supervision of the inmates would no doubt reduce the liability of the recur- rence of incidents of this sort. At the same time it must be said that an officer cannot be in two places at the same time, and that to expect officers to deal proper! with the sort of girls now being sent to the reform school, with appliances Intended for the of harmless little children, presup- poses superhuman qualifications. The superintendent has not been away from the school more than three days in the last six months, and the officers are generally about as much prisoners as the inmates. “The commitment of such girls as Al- berta Gibson to the reform school is, in my judgment, a deplorable mistake. has not resulted in great damage and ie loss of valuable lives is due to fortunate circumstances, which cannot be expected prevail always. ly inquiry into the matter has been as- sisted and facilitated by members of the board of trustees and by the officers of the institution, and I have furnished the act- ing president with a copy of this report.” eS THE PLUMBERS OBJECT. Resent as Unjust a Recent Order of the Commissioners. The Master Plumbers’ Association, at a largely attended meeting held Tuesday evening at the builders’ exchange, deter- mined to take such steps as may be here- after dee:ned advisable to bring about a better saniiary condition in plumbing work done in this city. ‘There was considerable discussion of the recent order of the Commissioners requir- ing plumbers to buy stopcocks from the District, for the reason, as stated by the Commisioners, “that some of the plumbers used leaky stopcocks, thereby causing a great waste of water.” It was stated to be the conclusion of the association that the order objected to was in reality a reflection on the honesty of the plumbers, and that the imputation was un- called for, A number of those present stated that most of the leakage complained of was caused by defective taps, and that these were supplied by the District au- thoritles. —_—.—___ LUTHERAN SYNOD AT BALTIMORE, Talk of Starting a Seminary at Win- fleld, Kas.

Three Thousand Men Killed in Battle With the Rebels, The New York Herals correspondent in Rio Janciro, Brazil, telegraphs that au- thentic information has reached that city © effect that more than three thou- sand soldiers have been killed in a big bat- tle near the site of Canudes. The fanatics, numbering more than ten thousand men, all well armed, attacked the government trcops. Whole brigades of tne soldiers werc swept down ard destroyed, trampled under foot as the vietcrious fana- mph ties with wild, hoarse shouts of tri passed ever them. s of Ife cannot asonable doubt, that the loss in killed on both more than three thousand. For miles the ground around Canuéos is strewn with the dead and dying, the gov- ernment troops being compelled to leave their dead on the field and flee to save themselves from complete destruction by the avalanche of the fanatics, When the report of the awful battle reached Rio Janeiro, it was ccnsidered by the president and ministry, and it was decided to send the minister cf war to the scene next week with 4,000 men, who are now gathering. They will carry with them @ great store of ammunition and will en- deavor to dislodge the fanatics from the positions they now hold. Fighting haS been in progress at Canu- des for several weeks. In the meantime, while the fanatics fought apparently With little heart, they have been gathering their forces from all directions. The result was the final attack on the government troops, which led to such awful results. ———--—+ee- Took Almost Everything. Carl F. Mayer and A. H. Davison, young men well known in bicycle circles, had an unpleasant experience at the bathing beach last night, where the presence of a police- men and attendant did not have the effect of preventing a burglary. They reached the beach soon after 8 o'clock and took only one house in which to leave their clothes. When they had enjoyed them- sclves in the water for a short time they returned for their clothing and the first glance revealed only an undershirt hanging on a nail. A closer inspection, however, showed that although a burglar had visited the place, he had not treated them so bad as they had at first supposed. Mr. Davison had been deprived of his shoes and stock- ings, hat, knife and silk handkerchief, as well as his bicycle lamp aud some small change. His companion’s gold watch and chain, some small change and a cigarette holder had been taken from his pockets and his lamp had been taken from hi wheel. What Mr. Davison was going to do he did not know. If his lamp had be2n left he might have gone home barefooted, but it was, he was afraid of being ar- rested, and so he had to remain there while his friend went and got him some garments. One of the lamps had been dropped by the burglar, and Mr. Mayer used this on his wheel when he rode home. The case has been reported to the police, and the burglar = now wanted by them. ——— Judge William L. Dayton Dead. Judge William L.
