Gen, Harrison Cray Otis De- nounces the Destruction of the Los Angeles Times. Hundrods of mothers, frantic over the exaggerated report that the Elghtetenth avenue Public School in Newark, N. J., was burning up, to-day rushed to the Dullding and to the Livingston street Annex close by, broke through lines of Policemen and firemen and tried to drag their children from the supposed danger It was necessary to turn the hose In the direction of the invading «warm of mothers to keep them from charging on the children and drawing them tnto @ pante.” The Eighteenth avenue school and the Livingéion street Annex are in a dense- Jy populated foreign part of Newark There are something like 2,000 children fn the two schools, 1,30 of them In the Eighteenth avenue structure Spark Ignites G Principal & Erwin Maness and Jant- tor John O'Brien were trying to fix a leak In the meter room on the first floor to-day. O'Brien's wrench sipped, struck a pipe and formed a spark which ignited the gas that had been es- caping. There was an explosion, and room was immediately filled with nes. Principal Maness ran to his office and sounded the fire drill, while O'Brien took steps to put out the fire. The children and teachers marched out calmly, quietly and rapidiy, They did not know there was a fire in the build- tng until they were lined up In the street | half a block away and saw the engines | and hook and ladder trucks arrive, In the wake of the firemen came the mothers — bareheaded, some without shoes or stockings, a few carrying in- fants in thelr arms. A dozen, fifty, a hundred, two hundred, five inundred In number they swarmed down on the po- and fire lines with shrieks and ovtes. Couldn't Convince Mother In vain teachers and policemen and firemen shouted assurances that there was no dapger. The fire wan extin- guished without great difficulty, But ie excited mothers would not be con- vineed. It appeared at ono time that they would storm the Livingston street Annex and tear the building down. The fire drill founded and the pupils were marched out Putting up a front Of battle, the teachers, policemen, fire- men and «. few volunteer citizens kept the children togther until al! danger had passed. Then they were allowed to go to thelr homes for the a few at @ time. When the mothers saw this they became more calm. The nessiou in the two schools will be resumed to- morrow.
