Who Will Model Lincoln Monument, is Submit Work ¥ French, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 2.—(Special)—A. V. Johnson, state fire warden, has written' a letter to State Superintendent Bishop sug- gesting that a day or an hour of some day each month be set aside for the teachers to Instruct their puplls about how to avent fires and what to do In some ;(rlmd!l it is Mr. Johnson's idea that 1¥ the children are taught the dangerous use of gasoline and kerosene and what to do in case of explosion, as well as how to prevent fires by keeping refuse burned and the danger of permitting old papers 10 be stacked in an attic or closet that the lessons now learned will remain with them always. Mr. Johnson gave out the following state s R commiseion _ whose h\’x?t‘r:u’:':’lr‘l.lk.mrdlt every thing possible tor the prevention of fire waste desires to Msv. public attention to the necessity of o e Jeanup during the spring time. S B that “has’ accumiilated during the winter months shouid be thoroughly cieared away. The reasons for this are obvious; one which might be mentiomed is that t Qebris s often responsible for spontaneous combustion, which, more prevalent durl the hot summer months than during the colder period, is generally regarded by ex- perienced fire fighters as one of the chief causes of what are called “unknown fires. Too often houses are built without giving proper consideration to attic ventilation; the hot summer sun beats on the roof, the heat in the aftic becomes intense and with the attic filled with rubbish, dust, oily rags, highly varnished plecee of furnitufe or other accumulations spontaneous com- bustion is a natural result. Closets are often used for storing away greasy gveralls, old clothes and olly rage; such closets should be thoroughly cleaned and this is particularly true of the closet under the stairway, which is too often per- mitted to become a fire trap immediately under the only way of escape from the stories of the bullding. upper. This §s the season for varnishing and painting, hence old rags used for wiping shed surfaces should must be saved for an iron set reasy wood and g« burned; If they future use they should be kept in receptacie substantially covered and away from the wood bulldings. Paint and olly rags, varnish and waste, used to wipe machinery are particularily ifable to spontaneous combustion. We desire to suggest that when people are removing their stoves for the summer months, if they weuld be careful to see that the hole in the chimney was stopped with a metal thimble and not with paper or rags it would prevent a great many fires. horitis will exert some 1f municipal author po i Shpirerd owners a: rsmrea. thess suEkastions, considerabie fire waste may be avolded. urglar Gets Buay. Somecne attempted to enter the office of Attorney General Thompson last night and the lock on the door showed up this morning badly distigured, indicating that someone had tried to bore through it. Sometime ago Mr. Thompson had In his safe some evidence to be used against th Burlington railroad in a suit to force. _compliance With' the law to prevent the “gale of liquér on trains, but it is not gen- "erally belleved that Lineoln is dry enough| Jto drive anyone'to rob & safe to get'a drink, . 86 Mr. Thompson insists that he has no jdea what anyone would want to take from the office unless his opinions have become so valuable that men. are ready to commit burglary to get one, and this may be what the burglars wanted. When Norris Brown was attorney gen- eral he sent to Judge Sinclair a copy of his opiitons bound. In a few days the book was returned with a letter from Jddge 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 in Fall, C. French, who has a contract to construct the Lincoln monument, to be loeated on the grounds of-the state house. hes written to F. M. Hall' that he will not submit the model until next fall. Mr. 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- mence of & few months he will be more able to say whether the model is up to thie standard he desires to set by this work. . He informed Mr. Hall that he ex- pected to make this monument his best work At possible. . Deecision Modified. The supreme court today modified to a e .::nem. an opinion recently handed fows: regarding the Royal Highlanders. In that decision it was held that the edicts adopted In 196 were nll and vold Insofar a¥ they related to the plaintiff. The lodge asked the court to modify its epinion so as to decide that the amendments to the 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 stal of the prder at this time. The court withdrew fts criticlsm of the order expressed in its gormer opinion and sald it had no knowi- odge that the lodge had not a representa- tive form of government at this time. It sald it 1s entirely unblased In the matter and would not pass on this question until the matter is before it in regular form. The court adhercd to its former opinion "8 to what a representative form of govera- ‘ment i« as expressed In Lange against the Royal Highlanders. The order asked that e __ 1 ;.’I“\ As the n ' thermometer ZE1% goes up. it's down with Nebraska A Uvuiss rieise @ i w—ve AU Buvernment more particularly. Petitioners Not Responaible. The supreme court has held that the per- #0n who signs & petition for & liquor license 18 not respunsible for costs In lawsuits that may follow an appeal from the issu- ance of the licenses. The case came from Otos county, where one Bernard Carls se- cured a Neense to run a saloon at Dunbar. A remonstrance was filed with the village board and overruled. The remonstrators appealed to the district court and the v Iage board was reversed and the costs of the appeal taxed to the petitioners. The petitioners had not been notified of the sults and were not represented by coun- sel. They brought suit in equity to pre- vent the officers from collecting the costs of the sult. The remonstrators filed a demurrage to the petition and set up that the petitioners should have moved to retax the costs. The petitioners won out in the dlstrict court and today the supreme eourt affirmed that decision. The court went further and sald the petitioners were in no way responsible and could not be made parties to the suit. Missouri Pacific Loses, Maggle Wollenburg, who won a damage sult against the Missourl Pacific in the distriet court of Douglas county, after hav- ing been tossed some sixty-five feet by an engine, won out also in the supreme court. Justice Barnes dissented and argued that the woman had contribyen aceldent by not looking out for the traim. _« ARg Governur Auviie.. woats The citigens’ committee which has In charge 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 © at the Hotel Astor.

D., April 2.—(Speclal.)— An unusual Instance of the strength of the Dakota sephyrs is given by the local representatives of the Milwaukee railroad, who assert that the deraliment of a train on that line near Hagus, N. D., was caused by the wind blowing the tender to the engine from the track. The first theory of the accident was that the rally spread, but an Investigation proved this to be erroneous, and the only plausible theory the raliroad men have is that the tender, which was loadéd with several tons of coa', | was blown from tne ralls by the breeze. | Recelver for Morse Proverty. ¢ NEW YORK, April 23.—Justige Blanchard | today eppcinted Frank Houmléuuher of | all property and effects of Cliarles W.| Morse, banker, who s serving’ a fifteen- year sentence in the federal prison at At- lanta, Ga.
