FIVE JUMP AND ESCAPE FLAMES

Fight Way Through Smoke to Porch Roof —Girl Most Seriously Hurt. Five persons escaped from the burning grocery and residence of James Webb, 1242 S. Pershing Ave., early today by leaping from the second story. Webb declared he believed the fire was of incendiary origin. About two weeks ago, he said, the store was entered and matches strewn over the grocery. Webb, sleeping in a- back room downstairs with his wife and son, 3, was awakened by the breaking of a front window in the stoi-e. Burglars, he Ijelieved broke the window and fired flammable materials in the store. A few minutes later, finding the front roofn filled with smoke and flames, he dashed up the stairs and aroused those on the upper floor*. Battle Smoke Smoke had filled the house. All climbed through a bedroom window to the roof of a back porch and jumped to the ground. Frances Parsons, 14, Webb’s granddaughter, received an injured left leg and body bruises. She was taken to city hospital for treatment. Mrs. Ella Wright, Webb’s mother, in-law, suffered a severe gash on the chin and injuries about the legs Charles Wright, 18, received two gashes on the arm; Harry Wright, 21, received head bruises, and Asa Webb, 24, was shaken. All of tlie occupants were almost overcome by smoke. Thought of Burglais “Our store's been broken into several times and I sort of had burglars on my mind I guess, so when Aunt Ella awakened me by screaming, I tumbled out of bed thinking we were being robbed,” explained Frances, 14, most seriously hurt. “Right away 1 was coughing with smoke and then Aunt Ella’s boy was calling ‘Fire!’ and I ran to tho window and tried to open it. It was nailed down and I couldn’t budge it. “Somebody knocked me aside. There was the crash of broken glass and I crawled out through the half broken window. “I just didn’t think, I guess. 1 knew I was on the roof of the porch and the next minute I was falling down off it to the ground. Say, do you know it seemed like I was hours falling! “Then I ran, even though I knew something was Interfering—you see my leg was hurt and cut awfully and I got clear over to the house next door before I remembered Aunt Ella and the rest.”

BOARD FACES CITY BUILDING AID PROBLEM Assistant Commissioner Fails to Gain State License. Board of safety members today were preparing: to handle a crisis in the building department, resulting *■ *m the refusal Saturday of the State board of registration for professional engineers to grant W. A. Osbon, assistant building commissioner, a structural engineer’s license. Osbon, on the pay roll for several weeks in violation of the law which says the assistant building commissioner must be a registered engineer, was not issyed a license because his application failed to reveal adequate experience and because he had provided only three of the five recommendations required, Harvey Mitchell Anthony, board chairman, said. However, board members said Osbon could take the regular examination in April. O. D. Haskett, president, and John A. George, board of safety member, said they would investigate, but were uncertain as to steps to take. Appointment of Osbon followed a long series of political maneuvers. He was the choice of Mayor Duvall for building commissioner, but was opposed by board members who appointed Bert J. Weetover and named Osbon assistant. All but two of the Shank building department employes were ousted by the board in spite of provisions of the law they can only be discharged after trial. Employes and job aspirants were forced to take examinations, but the board was not required to name those with the highest grades. 5,000 BIRDS DIE IN FIRE Wild Cats Sense Meaning of Smoke First—Forty Mon Keys Perish.

EMITS DEATH HOUR DRAMA TOLD Last Minutes of Man Who Gave Up Life to ‘Play’ Dead Aboard Solitary Floating Home Described in Cables From Africa. END COMES AFTER VISIT TO SHORE Body on After Deck of His Yacht Is Surrounded by Flowers Sent From Shore by Americans in Monrovia, Liberia. Bu United Press NEW YORK. March la. —Over the cables from the little town of Monrovia, Liberia, on the western coast of Africa, came the story today of the last hours of Edward Wyllla Scripps, ore of the dominant figures in journalism. After years of active life, during which he built the vast Scripps newspaper organization, he had retired not only from business, but almost entirely from the world, and he died Friday night aboard his yacht, where he lived even more isolated than he might have on some mid-sea -isle, with only his personal staff at his bedside. No long Illness preceded his death. There was no struggle at the end. Ho brought to a close an active life by lapsing into a coma which resolved itself soon Into death. Broke Ills Custom Mr. Scripps had arrived at Monrovia Bay, Liberia, aboard his yacht, the Ohio, Wednesday noon from Annobon Island, a tiny dot in the sea off the coast of Africa. Seldom did ~e vary his Ike by stepping ashore when his boat touched port. But at Monrovia, apparently, he was attracted by the unique history of the place, a nation founded a century, ago under the protection of the United States as a refuge for freed slaves. So on Thursday he had broken his usual custom and gone ashore. He rode two hours around the little (Turn to Page 10) HE’S IN JAIL BUT HAPPY Hotel Keeper Tliought He Had Killed Ills Wife.

Ideals of Late Publisher Cited by Editor-Friend

E. W. Scripps, retired founder of the Srripps-Howard newspapers, who died aboard liis yacht, Ohio, off Monrovia, Liberia.

Note- The follow-ins appreciation U from (he ppn of Nesley D. Cochran. former editor of the Toledo Now* Bee and for twenty-flvo years a close personal friend and business aimoeiate of E. W. Scripps. E. W. Scripps was an extremely sensitive and sympathetic man with extraordinary imagination and far seeing vision. Like most all sensitive and sympathetic individuals, he sought to conceal that side of his character with u mask of gruffness. He had a passionate sympathy for human suffering which made him so dread it that actually hurt him to see it. So when he ran away from it and sought solitude and seclusion he was considered eccentric. But he inspired every editor who ever came in touch with him that sympathy for the underdog that gave his newspapers the reputation of being radical. Their radicalism was a sincere devotion to the well-being of the great mass of human beings who work and struggle for an existence. Os English ancestry. Mr. Scripps ’was a passionately patriotic American. About the time he retired as the actual and active head of his newspapers in 1908 he was talking one beautiful night to one of his editors on the porch of a little mountain hotel in southern California and said: “This is the greatest country the world ever knew because it has the greatest people. Some day this country is going to need my newspapers. You younger men must build up the newspapers we already have and start more papers so as to be ready when the country needs them." IBs Part in World War lie had for years predicted a world war as Inevitable. Nine years aft~-r his retirement In April, 1917, we were In that war. Early In May, Mr. Scripts left his retirement at Miramar Ranch. California, and started for Washington. He summoned together ills editorial executives, arranged a war board and took charge of the activities of the entire concern. One of his first moves was a personal letter to every editorial and business executive in the concern in which he directed that all thought of money making be laid aside and forgotten and every ounce of energy and power in the entire concern he thrown in behind the Government and unselfishly devoted to the winning of the war. In spite of the warnings of friends and physicians. Mr. Scripps threw all of himself into the war. From morning until after midnight at a Washington hotel and later at a rented country residence he entered Into conferences with important heads of the Government and with his own executives until the breakdown came in November, 1917. It was a stroke that resulted In partial jmralyuls. When ordered into absolute retirement by his physicians, he agreed to obey orders provided he were permitted first to see all of his executives to issue final orders as to the war. Once this was done he retired again. There can be no question, however, that his death off the coast of Africa was the result of the stroke in Washington late in 1917. His Science Endowment

Mr. Bcripps was also passionately devoted to the education of the common people. When the physicians partially took off the ban in 1921 one of his first moves was the organization and endowment of science service. He called together at his ranch at Miramar a notable gathering of American scientists and started them off with a liberal endowment. They were told that they were doing some wonderful things and that some of them were writing some wonderful books, but that they were writing at each other and in technical language that was too highbrow for the everyday man. He wanted their work made understandable to the ordinary citizen. There can be no question that Mr. Scripps then made a big contribution toward the popularization of science. Y'cars ago he studied the future relation of population to food supply —with a population growth which was moving faster than the development of the food supply. Bo he endowed a resea -ch bureau at Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, whose business It was to study this feature of our national development and get ready to help the Government meet the problems when faced by it. Only now the national industrial conference, stirred up by the plight of the farmer, is exhorting the commercial, financial and industrial Interests of the country to face this problem. But long before that Mr. Scripps had made possible, with the aid of his wonderful sister, Miss Ellen B. Scripps, the Scripps biological institution at Ia Jolla Cal., the purpose of which was the .advancement of science for the benefit of humanity in general and the American people in particular. Aided by Sister In the development of his newspapers and in ail his other activities Mr. Bcripps had the cordial support and intelligent cooperation of his older sister, Miss Ellen B. Bcripps, who had gone with him and a brother, George H. Bcripps, when they left, the Detroit News in 1878 to found the Cleveland Press, the first of the group now known as the Scripps-Howard newspapers. Another of his passionate devotions was the one he gave this elder sisters who had helped raise him as a boy on the Scripps farm In Illinois. As an Illustration of his vision and his preparation be began to prepare his son, Robert P. Scripps, to become his successor long before the son was aware of it. He watched ail the youngsters in the concern and years before Roy W. Howard knew anything about It. Mr. Bcripps had an eye on him for the responsible position he now occupies. The test with him with all of his subordinates was whether they were for what we called Scripps principles in journalism because they believed in them as honest principles of journalism in a democracy or were for them merely because they paid. Mr. Scripps was a rich man—yes. But nobody knew tho meaning of riches, owning 51 per cent of the stock of hla newspapers and letting those who made those papers as editorial and business managers have the other 49 per cent on a ground floor basis. He didn't want to bnild up a vast family fortune and be kept at it until a plan was devised for keeping the Scripps control by owning only 17 per cent. Then he devised plans whereby any employe of any Scripps newspaper or Scripps concern could become a partner by buying stook In an Investment company. Bach of these oompanles own stock In several newspapers so that no employe would gamble hla money on the sucres* or failure of one newspaper. The result has been that every employe who Invested has profited by the Investment. Long before Mr. Scripps died he had made preparations for his death, so that the concern would go on undisturbed In any way. And he had made certain by his organization that the soul, the spirit he had put Into his newspapers would live. In 1907 when the first stroke came he told his physicians he would do anything that was necessary to enable him to live five years, for in that time he would be able to do ail he wanted to do before he died. He lived more than the five years. He accomplished all that he wanted to accomplish. In 1923, when he returned from a six months' cruise of the Pacific, he told me that he was ready to die and expected to die on the yacht Ohio. He turned all of hie etock control In his properties over to hie son, Robert P. Scripps, and had unbounded oonfldenoe in the ability aad determination of hla son and Roy W. Howard to keep alive the spirit which he had caused to dominate the ooncern. mend ha wae S

"But we don’t want our parents in Chattanooga to know anything about this," Marie said. “They could help us, but we don’t want them to know what a poor go we’ve made of things.” Sergeant Edward Deeter, who investigated the case, took up a collection among the officers to care for the Immediate needs of Helen.
