This system is known as the Steam Blast System. Steam is generated in a boiler house outside the main building and passes through pipes into radiating coils located in the basement of the building. By means of a fan operation by steam or electricity, fresh air is taken through the upper portion of the building, forced over the heated colls and into the several rooms. The, system operates automatically so that a given temperature is maintained in the rooms and a given amount of fresh air delivered o the rooms during the school session. The halls will be heated by direct radiation and provided with floor registers, so that the wet clothes and wet feet may be taken care of and better health for pupils secured. - By removing seven furnaces

an! two stories from Nthe basement of the building two large and one small room is added to the working area of the building. One of these rooms will be for exercises in the lower grades,, another for Manual Training in the seventh and eighth grades and the small room for overflowed classes. By making swell a change at this time it removes the necessity of putting in at least three new 'furnaces, places the building in a condition to meet the requirements of the State Board and will insure better Ivealth for teachers and pupils and thereinincreasing their efficacy, so that a greater amount of work can be accomplished in a given time than heretofore. . Took Suddenly , 111. Harry De'Moss who is employed at Logansjort, came to this city Saturday evening, to spend Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. DeMpss in this city.

Oscar Boberg, Company I, Plymouth, Ind. Arrange so that Company I can be assembed on one hours notice for active duty. Thomas R. Marshall, Gov. Company 1 stood at arms all day Monday, waiting the order of Governor Marshall to rtake train for South Bend, where rioting prevailed flast night, over the Grand Trunk Railroad strike, vvhrch assumed a serious aspect in that citv. Repeated requests were made on the Governor for troops, to aid in queHling the outbursts of violence, in which one man was mortally injured, freiight cars burned and railroad traffic tied up. The above telegram brought the. company together Monday, a. m. and the boys were stationed at the rmorv Had, alii dav awaiting further orders. South Bend, Ind., July 25. (Special) Fire started bv sym pathizers of the striking train men Of the Grand Trunk Sunday evening destroyed three cars of a train composed of thirty freight cars and a caboose. Firemen fought thJe, blaze under a guard of police and speciaJl deputies and endeavored io prevent its spread, while a crowd of more than 5,000 persons looked on and several times made threatening demonstrations. 'Several other Mazes were started in the railroad vards while the larger fire was in progress. but they were quickly extin guished. The fire came as a cvimax to a day of rioting in which one man was shot and probably fatally wounded,,-while a number of others were injured liy flying stones thrown by sympathizers of the strikers. Wounded by Mistak. The wounded man is L. A. Freel, night car inspector of the Grand Trunk. He was shot while endeavoring to ascertain the amount of damage done to a train by friends of the strikers. He was shot by John Peck of Grand Rapids, a guard in the employ of the railroad. Officials of the road say the shooting was an accident. Peck is said to have fired to hold the threatening crowd at bay and was not shooting at Freel. Freell was hurried to ,the Epworth hospital, where he was attended by Dr. J. H. Gardner. The physician found the bullet fired from a 38 caliber army revolver, had severed his spiui cord, and he is paralyzed from the waist down. There is but little hope for his recovery. The shooting of Freel was in dirertiy due to the capture of a freight train by strike sympathisers Saturday night. The train was left stand in the streets until Monday morning, when it was moved to ithe vards. It was found that during the night all the eoupliaig pins and knuckles of the cars had been taken on:, the air brakes destroyed and the train literally cut to pieces. Freel went out to investigate the damage, and, in the trouble following, he was shot. Many passengers had a narrow escape from death or injury on a passenger train just east of here during the afternoon, when the strike sympathizers are said to have tried io derail it. The engineer saw that a swith had been thrown and succee Uu" m bringing his train to a stop in time to prevent an accident.. Traffic Completely Tied Up. Sunday night alll night through South Bend was totally tied up and officials here have notrfied Chicago and Battle Creek, the division points, not to send any trains this way. Xear Misltowaka about five miles eat of South' IJend, two passenger trains were held up, officials fearing to allow ithem to enter the city.

ED ATTEMPT TO KILL EX-TRUSTEE OF POLK TP. PLACED UNDER $600 BOND FOR MURDEROUS ATTACK ON SON Gave as Only Excuse that He Was Trying to Break Son i V 'i of the Habit of .Swearing. Ex-trustee of Polk township, James M. Schroeder was arrested bv Sheriff Daniel Voreis at his home in Tyner Thursday, on a warrant, charging assault and battery with attempt to kill. The warrant was issued upon the affi davit made by the sheriff, upon mformation. Schroeder gave bond in the amount of $600, for his appearance, which is to be before Justice of the Peace Henry Jarrell at Tyner on Monday Aug ust 1st. Postmaster Daniei Miller, furnished the bond for Schroeder. Schroeder -made a murderous attack upon his son Remus, age 24 years on Tuesday morning, in the barn on their farm, while the boy was placing harness on a team, before going into the fields to work. The ?on Remus has only one arm, the other having been torn off in a corn shredder last year. This fact makes the cowardly attack bv the father all the more exasperating. Young Schroeder was arranging the harness on one of the horses and is said to have become provoked and said "Dam that pad." The father standing on the outside Of the ibarn, dlaimed to have under stood the utterance as an imprication upon hrniself and at once attacked the boy with a pitch fork. He struck at Remus head, who raised his arm, to ward off the blow, and received the blow which fractured the arm. The infuriated father, then set upon the boy, striking him with the handle of the pitch fork, and when pulled off by a farm har.d, Uisiianis, was striking the fallen lad with the sharp tines of the fork. The points of the fork had lacerated the young man's arm and shoulder painfully. Considered Insane. 'When arrested, Schroeder told Voreis that he and the bov had been having trouble and that he was trying to break the boy of swearinjr. "I heard over the

In the Hanes room, our barrels of pint bottles, alleged to contain beer, and at the Shipley place, two and a half barrels of similar substance was confiscated by the officers, and hauled Xo the basement of the jail. 'Pile affidavit for search warrant was made by policeman Jacohy upon information. The officers who participated in the raids were sheriff Voreis, marshal Jacohy, deputy sheriff Fred Schroeder and special policemen Joseph Gkiss and Ira Zumbaugh. They swodped irpon the two named rooms, armed with search warrants. All of the liquor confiscated in the Hanes soft drink room was found in the basement.

Wayne Newspaper Man Passes Away at Plymouth HospUai Thoma's F. Bresnahan, city editor and editorial writer on the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette and one of ihe best known newspaper men in northern Indiana, died very suddenly Saturday morning at the Borton and Aspmafll hospital in this city of cerebral congestion. 'Mr. Bresnahan had been at the 'hospital for the past week in the hope of recuperating his health and, according to Dr. J. S. Kendall, who attended him. lie was apparently on a fair road to recovery. He seemed to be in unusually igood spirits Friday and was contemplating making a visit to some of his friends. On Friday evening he retired early and when the physician visited him at midnight he was in good condition. At 1 :'S0 the physician again visited him and at that jtime his pulse was beatimr nor mally. The next visit to the bed was made at 4 o'clock and he was dead. The news of Mr. Bresnahan's death came as an unexpected shock to all. Few knew that his health had been failing and even his most intimate friends were unaware that his condition was of so alarming a nature. He had suffered occasional attacks öf heart trouble recently, but apparently they were of no serious nature. 'Mr. Bresnahan was 39 years -of age. "Tom" Bresnahan had resided in Fort Wayne practically all his life and there was not a man in the city with a more wide acquaintance and general knowledge of the residents of that city and county. He was universally, beloved .and was a man oi sterling qualities. xiis newspaper work, proba'bly more than anything else gained for him a universal friendship. His vast knowledge made him indespensible to h'fs co-workers and not a man who ever mingled with him either socially or in a business manner, has a word of ill to speak against him. Takes Child from Home. Mrs. Olive Marble of Potoka, Ind., was here 'Monday, and took a child from the Julia E. Work Home, which she has placed in a home at Potoka. blind tigers were operated with more or less prominence Tuesday Grant Hanes, who is conducting the place of business formerly oc cupied by Hiram Atkins, until he was raided twice, says that thvre is more spite work in connection witJi the prosecution of his business, than desire for law and order. A sentiment went the rounds, that the raids are being coached by persons in the city, who have interests in Other similar places )f business, which are violating the liquor Jaws equally as bad, but are never raided or even questioned. To the outsider the evidence in support of this theory seems quite strong. Were They Tipped? At :.')0 Tuesday afternoon another soft drink emporium on La port e street, hlch has never been raided, received a drayoad, consisting of five barrels of bottled goods, which were said to have heen shipped down n the L. K. & W. Tuesday a. m. This seems to indicate that a tip was given these favored ones, ti hold off until after the morning raids. If so, who does ihe t?j7piug? Is there a boddle or only nn understanding friendship between certain promoters, and the local officers? Some one pehsc enlighten us.

Midnight Fire Destroys Industry of City

With Loss Estimated Between $15,coo and $20,000 Foundry Will Not be Rebuilt Local Men Heavy Losers.

The Monarch Iron Works, an ndustry which has contributed materially to the upbuilding of the City of Plymouth for the past tour years and which was bidding iair to become one of the leading institutions of the com munity, was totally destroyed by tire 'Mqnu?y night. Hie "loss is estimated as being between $15,K)0 and 0,000 with almost no insurance. Owing to the extreme Örigh rating, the poor fire projection and nature of the industry, the directors found it almost impossible to secure insurance, and only $1500 was car ried, of -which $1000 was on the ig and $500 on tiie ma chinery. By the heroic efforts of the foreman, James Beatty, and a number of his men, who arrived early on the scene of he fire, the more valuable patcnis, and patents were saved. The greatest financial losers by üie fire are Doctors. T. A. Bor ton and a. 1. Aspinall, who owned almost ail of the entire stock. With the con struct i'on of the new Plymouth Hospital and sanitarium tailing upon tne eibrts and 'backing of these two men, tne neavv loss encountered by the fire last evening approaches the tragical. A chap ter cotrhl.be written upon what he citv of Plymouth owes to he.se two physicians, Drs Bor ton and Aspinall. Supposedly from Trains. The fire whidi broke out in he roof of the run, or narrow superstructure of the Monarch Iron Works, located just west of the west city limits, and on the south side of Pennsylvania tracks is supposed to have been started by sparks frV.m locomotives passing the building. . The officials of the institution, as well as the foreman ,and his assistants arc of the decided opinion that the fire was not started from any cause within the building. Monday night, as is done at the completion of each working day, the fire from the melting citpailo, was dumped and "watered" or thoroughly extinguished and cooled by water. That the fire did not start from the smoke stack of the boiler is evidenced by the fact that the fire did not reach the boiler room until last, and no smoke issued from the stack until the fire reached that part'of the building. Locomotives Give Alarm ' The fire was started from some externa! source, and the supposition is that locomotives gave forth the sparks, which resulted in the destruction of the factory. Residents of the city were startled from their sleep, at about 11 :40 .Momday night by the weird screaming of (locomotive whistles, from trains on the Pennsylvania railroad. A double header freight train, passing from the west, started the alarm, which was taken up by three idle freight locomotives dying within a few hundred feet and continued by several other engines, which were in the local track yards. The shrieking of the locomotives was an uncanny and frightful -sound. It succeeded in raising the town, and was the first alarm given the floca! water works and lire department. The Monarch Iron Works lies outside Of tlie city limits, and the nearest fire hydrant lies 1200 feet from the site, but the volunteer department mustered their men and apparatus and was on the scene as soon as jossfble. Their arrival was too Gate, however, to do more than throw water upon three or four smaller buildings on the premises of the factory grounds. Heat Was Intense. The first citizens to reach the scene of the fire witnessed a brisk blaze, burning in the run, over the buf Ming. Water pressure upon the blaze at its initial appearance, could easily have saved almost the entire building. The distance front the citv, and the poor facilities for reaching the factory with water, was the cause whi'ch resulted in the structure being reduced to the iground. For about fifteen minutes the rubber roofing on the main building confined' the fire to the narrow run. Gradually however, they crept downward, and in ten minutes after

they had taken hold of the main building, the entire structure was a mass of flames. The heat thrown from the building was intense. m The faces of spectators within several rods were heated by the flames, driving the crowd back to the fences or the railroad. The firemcn.sihowed their nerve, and stood with heads bent - low,, in the face of the heat, and drove water into the flames, after the surrounding buildings had been saturated. The light from the fire, illuminated the surrounding neighborhood with a great light, and the scene, though sad, was a grand one. The firemen remained on the scene until past one o'clock, until the fire was put out of the smoldering ruins of the Monarch Iron 'Works'. . Big Crowd Collected.' In spite of the distance to the scene, and the lateness of the' hour, a great crowd colected at the fire, which perhaps numbered thre or four hundred people. The night conflagation reminded the 'witnesses of the midnight blaze wlrich destroyed the Shade! drug store and the McCrory grocery store on Michi'gan street, a few months ago. The Monarch Works. The Monarch Iron Works, was incorporated on, October 16, 1906 shortly after the building of the factory had been completed. At the time of 'the fire there were thirty employes, who received a pay toTI of from $000 to $700 every two weeks. The -plant was under the management of Louis Borton, son of Dr. T. A. Borton. James Beatty was foreman of the plant and has occupied that position during the four years of the history of the institution. Among the workmen were fifteen moulders, skilled ilaboivrs, many of whbm, had learned their trade at the jcal foundry. The feature of the plant, was the casting of heavy gray iron castings. Iron castings from they Monarch Works, were sfliiKx! throughout the entire country, into Canada, and the far west. A large contract executed by the local institution, was for furnishing C00 2ange iron plates for the furnaces of tdie Gary Steel plant. These plates" weighed one and a quarter tons each, and the loading of these gjeat castings at the local railroads was quite a topic of discussion at fhe time. The foundry has had many large contracts among tlicm being the supplying of the iron work for opera seats for tihe Ideal Seating Co., of Chicago, large contracts "with . the Montgomery Ward Co., of Chicago, Clover Leaf Cement Mixing 'Machines, Sout2t Bend. The output of the foundry was. from G to 10 tons of gray iron castings per day. The local concern contributed to the local freight agencies, and the destruction of the plant will "be a loss to the railroads. s Will Not be Rebuilt. Doctors Borton and Aspinall

stated to a representative of the of the Tribune Tuesday a. m that because of the heavy loss 'encountered in the fire the foundry would not be rebuilt. .The city thus loses a very, promising institution. ; Stockholders of plant. The officers of the Monarch plant were Dr. T. A. Borton, president, James Beatty, vicepresident and Dr. X. B. Aspinall secretary and treasurer. The stockholders besides these men are Alexander Stewart, Charles Johnson and James Doüan, all of Chicago. As aforestated almost all of the stock was owned by Drs. Borton and Aspinall. Inspected Plant. The foreman Beatty, inspected the plant Tuesday at 10 p. m. and found everything all right. The custom of having two inspections of the premises and buildings made, twice every day, after closing time, Has been strictly followed out, which fact increases the belief that the fire was started by sparks from locomotives on the Pennsylvania railway. i i Attends Funeral of Relative tA. M. Cleveland was at Toledo O., -Monday attending the funeral of a cousin Fred Wagner, which' occurs in that city Monday. Mr. Wagner resided at Denver Colo.
