NEW YORK, Jan. 2—Fire was discoy- ered early this morning in the engine room of Keath’s Union Square Theater, The flames were first seen by the engi- { neer of the Morton House, which adjoins the theater, and he gave the alarm. ! Thiere were 300 guests in the hotel, who were hurriedly notified, and made their cecape to the street clad in their night | garments.

Amos J. Walton, the 12-year-old nephew of Mrs, Adeline B. Walton of 1151 BEast Twenty-second street, was shot and in- stantly Kkilled this afternoon by Lester Loveland, a 10-year-old boy companion. ‘Walton, Loveland and Grover Cleveland Jorgensen, who, is .about nine years of age, started out this morning on a hunt- ing expedition. ‘The boys were armed with an old-fash- foned 22-caliber rifle which they had dis- covered some weeks ago in the garret of the Loveland house. Game was scarce and all the ammuni- tion but two shells was used up in target practice. The boys were homeward bound when the fatal shot was fired. . Two stories are told as to how the fatality ocourred, Lester Loveland says: We were on East Twenty-seventh street, near Orchard. 1 had the rifle. We were go- ing home. I saw 4 bird on the femce and took aim at it. Amos Was standing in front of me to the right. Just as I was going to shoot Grover Jorgensen bumped Into me, jos- tled my arm and accidentally turned the rifie Before I knew it the trigger He yelled: He ran about twenty yards and dre We looked at him, saw he was awful still, got scaredjand ran home to get help. While we were away a lady and come_people that I don’t know picked hitm up and took him into a house. Grover Jorgensen gives a very different account o(fthe tragedy. He says: ‘We had only two shells left and were going home. Amos was walking ahead of us. Les: ‘ter Loveland, who had the rifle, said to Amos “How would you like to have me shoot you?' Amos turned around, laughed and said: I Buess you're joshing.”” Then the rifle went off and _Amos, after ‘hollering out,” tumbled down dead.

In DENOUNGES LW FOR TEAT BOOKS Naturalist . Speaks the School System Defects. Scientific Temperance struction, He Says, Is Detrimental. of in- CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—Sclentific temperancé instruction as taught in the public schools from the textbooks now in use, together with anti-vivisection, anti-vaccination and Christian science, were denounced by Pro- fessor William T. Sedgwick, president of the American Association of Naturalists, at a banquet to-night given by members of the scientific societies now in session at the University of Chicago. “It is a notorious and disgraceful fact,” said Professor Sedgwick, “with a view of pleasing a seli-constituted oligarchy, that some writers have even made alcoholic instruction the beginning, the middle and the end of their textbooks. Of such books it may be truly said that they have no permanency of their own, and with dif- ficulty would be preserved in schools.” President Sedgwick's address was upon “The Modern Subjection of Science and Education: to Propaganda.” He said In part: Scientific temperance instruction has grown to such proportions and has gained such power as to dominate almost all instruction in ele- mentary physiology and hygiene in America. It Is right, of course, that pupils should. be taught the danger of alcohol and narcotics, but teachers oftgn g0 too far, and it even appears that all instruction in physiology and hygiene in public schools has passed to a great and un- Jjustifiable extent in the hands and under the Subjection of the temperance propaganda. President Sedgwick believes that there should be little or no State regulation of | what shall appear in textbooks. “‘Scarcely | had science and education,” he said, “freed themselves from the church when | they began to be threatened by subjec- tion to the state. While it is right that the youth should be taught the dangers of alcohol, I believe that it is odious an unreasonable that the exact amount of such teaching should be prescribed by law; that the method of teaching by text- books and the space devoted to it in the textbook should be legally regulated by law, but especially that the kind of text- books used should be largely determined by a self-constituted and unofficial oli- garchy—leaders of a propaganda which is_neither educational nor scientific.” The_effects of these peculiar laws, he said, had been to create a peculiar class of textbooks, some of which were pre- pared by competent writérs, but most gege inferfor and some were distinctly ad. “No wise educator,” he continued, “‘who has given any attention to the subject can deny that the influence of this powerful propaganda has been in most respects in- jurious to the proper-teaching of physiol- ogy and hyglene in the lower schools. Teachers, prineipals and superintendents, and even school committees, are seldom able to speak with perfect frankness on my opinion it is time for a body of sci- entific men like the American Sdciety of Naturalists and the American Association | for the Advancement of Science to put on | record their opinion that the subjugation under which science and education are to- day suffering from the temperance prop- aganda has become intolérable.” The election of officers of the American | Association of Naturalists resulted as fol- | lows: President, J. M. Cattell of Colum- | bia; vice presidents, O. Howard of | Washington and D. P. Penhallow of Me- | Gill_Unlversity; secretary, R. G. Harrison | of Johns Hopkins; treasurer, M. M. Met- | calf of the Women's College, Baltimore. | A resolution was adopted by the society | favoring the bill pending in Congress pro- | viding or the preservation of the cliff | dwellings in_Colorado by forming there a national park. WILL GIVE MILLIONS | TO MERITORIOUS COLLEGES Dr. Pearsons, the Chicago Philan- thropist, Gives Final Warning Regarding Requirements. CHICAGO, Jan. 1.—Dr. D. K. Pearsons, | the Chicago philanthropist, made a New | Year's resolution to-day which was at the | same time an ultimatum to the colleges which are expecting to profit by.his| bounty. There are elght of these colleges and $500,000 of the doctor’s money is wait- | ing for them to be handed over to their | endowment funds the minute that they have raised corresponding sums of money on their own account. Not one of them | had, however, fulfilied the conditions at | the 'close of last year. “They shall have until January 1, 1903, | to pay their pledges,”’ he announced at his Hillsdale home, “and if they are not | ready then they will never get a cent | from me. That's the limit.” ! By way of making this binding Dr. | Pearsons embodied his resolutions in let- | ters which he wrote to each of the collego | presidents. Dr. Pearsons announced fur- | ther that it was his purpose fot to make any more conditional gifts to colleges. Tt was his_intention. he sald, to give the | est of his wealth—probably $3,000,000 or | $4,000,000—outright in the course of the next few years to the colleges which have accomplished the most with what he has given them in the past. 1 “REvery cent I give away after the end of this vear,” he added, “‘will go straight | out to the Institutions I have aiready | helped. There are thirty of them in all, mostly in the West, and I am going to look them all over next year and make up my mind. The colleges that have done well, that have saved the endow- ment and used it in the right way will ‘eg the money. jome of the fortunate colleges Dr. Pearsons has already decided on. He did not say so directly, but his praise of Drury_College, Missouri; Whitman Col- lege,” Washington: Colorado Collegs, Pa- cific’ University, Oregon and Beloit Col- lege left no doubt of his intentions to- ward them. ‘“Real gems” is what he calls them. R e POPULACE MOURNS AT DEAD GOVERNOR'S GRAVE TACOMA, Jan. 1—In the soft, misty twilight of a typical winter evening in the Valley district the body of John Ran- kin Rogers, third Governor of the Stats of Washington, was to-day laid to rest in the Hillside Cemetery of Puyallup. Thou- sands thronged the streets and there was hardly a house in the city that was not draped in black. [ Two compenies of the National Guard and the it Regiment band had come from Seattle and were iy waiting at the depot when the funeral tr:fi\ arrived from Tacoma. The side- walks were blocked by an impassable liv- ing barrier, and even the roofs of houses crowded by persons eager to view the prccession. A great number 6f Ma- sons were in Puyallup when the train ar- rived. In & drizzling rain the procession start- ed from the depot through streets draped with long black and white streamers to the home of the late ernor's where Governor McBride, former Go: nor McGraw, many State officials and members of the Masonic fraternity await- ed the arrival of the body. Here thou- sands took a last look at the remains. ces at the residence consisted e of the singing of hymns, a yer by Rev. flnt Methodist son, ver- W. 0. Bernadon of the Church and an address b;lmv. Spencer Sulliger, chaplain of the First Washing- ton ment. The hearse was escorted to the ceme- tery by several comj ies of the National Guard and was followed fifty files of Masons and a long procession of citizens. The services at the grave were conducted by ths Masons in the presence of 2000 per- ' sons. At their close the militia fired three volléys and sounded “taps.” The famiiy | of the late Governor returned to Olympia | on a special train. ¥ i Cannot Compel Vaccination.

POWER PROMISES A LEGAL BATTLE Northern Pacific Stock Retirement Case to Continue. Sixty Million Dollars’ Worth Is Paid For and Canceled. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 1.—~The at- torneys of Peter Power declare that their client wiil appeal from the decision of Judge Lochren, dissolving the injunction against the retirement of Northern Pa- cific preferred stock, to the United States Court of Appeais at St. Louls. George A. Lambs, Power's principal attorney, says this can be done in a very short { time, not more than siX or seven days. Power deciares that he has just begun to fight ana denies with greai emphasis that he brought the suit in coilusion with the merger interests. JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 1.—Attorney Gen- eral McClurg is contemplating the insti- tution of proceedings to break the merger of the Southern and Mobile and Ohio rail- ways. It is very likely that the proceed~ ings will be begun within ten days. NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—The office of the Northern Pacific Railway Company was kept open to-day for the receipt and re- demption of the preferred stock of that company. Upward of sixty millions of the entire seventy-five millions of that issue of steck was received, paid for and can- celed. Under the terms of the company’s no- tice all outstanding shares of the whole issue of preferred stock became actually retired at midnight to-night and to exist as stock and all holders of cer- tificates for preferred stock have been notified that on presentation of the same at the company’s- office they will receive payment in cash to the par amount of each certificate. The stock redeemed abroad is not included in the sixty mil- liohs canceled at the New York office, and, considering to-day was a holiday, with banks and banking offices closed, it is thought the balance of the funds pro- vided for this payment will not long re- main unclaimed in the company’s vaults, MANY WITNESS SCHWABACHER- BLUM WEDDING Miss Edna Blum and Leo 8.
