THREE STUDENT PERISH IN FIRE Kenyon Military Academy at Gambier, Ohio, Is Burned, as Is Also a Large Annex NINE SERIOUSLY HURT Flames Break Out Where the Boys Are Asleep and Soon Envelop Entire Building GAMBIER, Ohio, Feb. 24—Three are dead, nine serfously injured and several others more or less hurt as a result of a fire which destroyed Milner's Hall, Ken- | yon Military Academy, Delano and North halls and North Annex early today. The fire broke out early this morning, while the students and college authorities were | asleep, and quickly spread through the | buildings named, which were destroyed. The search for the missing boys, the | bodies of whom it is now certain are in the ruins, continued till late this after- when the walls of the burned regarded as improbable for some time. | The search during the day was impeded by the fact that the ruins were still red- hot and made progress through them nearly impossible; The falling walls | this afternocon barely missed Dr. Peirce, president of Kenyon, and Regents Wiant and Willlams, who were heading a party of rescuers through the ruins. The dead and injured are all students of the Mili- tary Academy and old Kenyon. - Parents, sisters and brothers of the dead and injured students arrive on every train. The news of the fire spread quick- ly all over the State, and telegrams were sent at once by the college authorities to parents of the boys injured. The property loss by the destruction of he buildings Is estimated at $100,000, with | 60 per cent insurance. Following s a revised list of the miss- MISSING. Everett Henderson of Illinois.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24—Mrs. Jose- phine Terranova, a 17-year-old girl, confessed today that she Killed her uncle, Gaetano Riggio, and attempted to kill his wife, and declared that she was justified in doing so.

Suffering from the jeers of her friends, she sald, she put on all her wedding finery, went to her uncle's room, and, after firing two shots from a revolver at him and missing, fatally stabbed him and wounded her aunt. She escaped arrest until today, when she was found by the police a few hours after her uncle dled at his house. She has been riding about in the street cars since Thursday night, almost without food or sleep. B Indicted for the Marcum Murder.

R T His Position Forbids Him to Remain Unwedded. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. BERLIN, Feb. 24.—“Old Heldelberg"” has been produced at the Theater An- toine, in Paris, and according to all ae- counts the German university play, which made so great a success in the fatherland and subsequently charmed audiences in the United States and Great Britain, is making a hit with French play-goers, too. It is a coinei- dence that the Important young Ger- man ruler, whose rather pathetic early years are sald to have inspired the author of “Old Heldelbergy to write his plece, is just attracting attention again, owing to his reported intention to remarry. The young ruler in guestion is the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, whose first wife, the beautiful Caroline of Reuss, died, it may be remembered, about a year ago. Her husband is by no means “consoled,” but the position of a reigning monarch forbids him to remain single, especlally when, as in the Grand Duke's case, he is the heir- apparent to a still more {llustrious throne, and so it is said that his royal Highness has arranged to be married to his deceased wife's younger sister, Princess Hermine of Reuss, who is also uncommonly well favored. First, however, the Grand Duke is going to India, where he intends to spend a couple of months in shooting big game, a voyage to the Orient hav- ing been strongly urged upon him by the court physiclans. It is to be hoped that he will get some enjoyment out of the experience, for, up to the pres- ent time, his life has been an uncom- menly gray one, even for a sovereign. Of his youth, in fact, the play, “Old Heldelberg,” furnishes a picture which is probably not exaggerated In the least. Rducated in the strictest man- ner after the fashion in the small Ger- man courts, he lost his parents at an early age and was practically brought up by his grandfather at a time when dullness reigned supreme at the court of Weimar. His childhood was a lone- 1y one, and he has seldom known what it was to enjoy freedom or to associate with men of his own age. His mar- riage, it is true, was supposedly a love match, but again the Grand Duke's bad angel intervened, and his wife dled when they had been married only a few months. If wealth could console him. how- ever, the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar should be comparatively happy, for he is the richest unmarried prince In the world. The important throne to which he may succeed is, of course, that of Holland, whose King he will be In case Queen Wilhelmina should have no chil- dren. His right so to do comes through his grandmother, Princess Sophia of Holland, who married the Grand Duke Charles Alexander of Saxe-Welmar In 1842, It is sald, however, that no one hopes more sincerely than the young Grand Duke that the Queen of Holland may be blessed with a son, the dutles of kingship appealing to him in not the slightest degree. Probably he thinks that he has had trouble enough al- ready. ONE SUNDAY SERMON ENOUGH, SHE SAYS Actress Advocates Curtail- ment of Religious Services on the Sabbath. CHICAGO, Feb. 24—In an address before the Actors’ Church Alllance at its annual meeting yesterday, Miss Sa- rah Truax, leading woman in a theat- rical company appearing in Chicago, advised the curtailment of Sunday re- ligious services In churches to morn- ing services only. As a substitute for evening services she proposed that church-goers attend a theatrical per- formance. “There are many persons who can attend the theater only on Sunday,” she sald. “What can they do? The ministers expect them to come to church, but the church cannot offer to them the diversion to which they are entitled after a long week of hard work. Therefors, let the people go to church in the morning and to the thea- ter at night.” —_—— ONE ‘OF ROOSEVELI’S ROUGH RIDERS BECOMES A BENEDICOT Reginald R.
