QisponsrniiTY for fires Much of the value of the present agitation for the enactment of laws enforcing personal responsibility for preventable fires lies in its educa- lonal effect upon pnblic sentiment. he suggestion of such measures 1 figs home to property owners the ict of their responsibility and the equity of enforcing damages upon their neighbors whose carelessness may involve loss to them, The personal responsibility bill was defeated in Indiana, but it evi dently had its educational effect,, for Lauretta Morgan, tenant of a building at 223 East Waluut Street, Indianapolis, has brought suit against Edward Meyer, owner of the building, for $300 damages. She charges that two fires which occurred recently were due to a fur nace pipe running through! a closet and not properly installed nor pro tected. Her personal effects were damaged by fire, , water, and smoke, and because of the two' fires her roomers left. She 'asks that the owner, whom she charges with ret sponsibility for the cause, reim burse her forthe. loss. Journal 1 of Cemmerce. AND UAYC2 TCEY CAW.

Robert Crouse, the eighteen Months old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Crouse, fell twenty-five feet from the second story window of Wright's Hotel yesterday evening shortly af ter six o'clock, crushing his skull on the concrete pavement. Dr. James McGee was in attenance al most instantly and with the child resting well last night at a late hour, he stated that chances for his recovery with' a fractured skull were good if there were no concussion of the brain. The shriek of the mother, who almost threw herself out of the sec ond story window in desperation, the dull crunching of the head upon the pavement, aind the little life less form, in white drew a crowd to the frprtt! of the hotel in an instant. Strong arms were already active and the babe was carried indoors and the doctor summoned. Mrs. Crouse, almost heartbroken, told the story last night to friends. She had prepared Robert for bed and was getting the bed leady when she noticed him at the window. Yarning hint not to lean against it, she turned her back. Then, as she turned again, she saw him rush against the window playfully. The wire screen gave way and he plung ed out of the window to the pave ment below. : rMr. Crouse is a traveling man and his family have their rooms ai the hotel. Yesterday he was out of the -city, but was wired of the accident. News and Observer, 12.

JUROR SAYS CHARGE WAS .SUPPRESSJfljlY HAMMER Member Of Federal Grand pury Says District Attorney ' Hammer Blocked Election Fraud Indictments. A little sensation was caused in tne United States 1 i 1 1 ice Court hjere this morning when the time came to discharge the grand jury. One member of-that -body arose in his place and addressed the court. Please your honor,"1 he said, in substance, "1 have been trying to present certain parties to the grand jury and have been prevented do ing so by the district attorney:" Mr. VV. C. Hammer, the district attorney, arose at once upon the statement-of the juror and declared that the man wished to present cer tain "enemies" in an election case in Randolph county where alleged fraud had occurred, and he had held it to be improper and wouldn't al low it. It was said that the foreman of the grand jury, Mr. K. M. Thomp son, of Yadkin county, acting un der the direction of the district at torney, had blocked the attempt of Mr. A. B. Coltrain and possibly others in their efforts to air the leged steal of the vote of two pre- cincts in the last general election in Randolph by the Democratic ganization overturning the alleged Republican majority.- I he prosen tation was prevented under the claim that it was improper to con sider the matter before the jury here and the statement of the dis trict attorney indicated the opinion that th e complai ni ng j u ror, Mr. 'A. B. Coltrain, was actuated by malice. It is. understood that following the break in court, several jurors had audience with Judge James E. Boyd, president o f t K e cou rt, ' b u t it was also" understood' that Judge Boyd refused to deal in the matter at all,--saying that it-was an en'cum bency Of the -district "attorney - and the jury itself. ' Thus the '..affair crosed. -Greensboro Record.. 1- Su bsciibe for the Times-News. Crosby" promisea lane WHISKEY DEALERS ARE IN THE TOILS OF THE LAW Guy Hartman aud John L.

It is very prob able that the decision of the coin rdissioners will be made at the July nieeting, when the commissioners Will decide whether to use the pres ent court house site or to get a new Ideation. It is understood that the majority if not all of the commis sioners are in favor of the present she. I During the last esion of the leg islature a bib wapased giving the commissioners authority to decide oh the court house matter at mar rme. Formerly it wa a law that her county fathers could only dam oh th: matter at the regular De cember meetings. The new law al ow them an opportunity to make th eir d ciaion without havintr o due to wait. Although nothing definite ha been done by the commissioners it s very probable that they will or der the la rid between the court ibuse lot and the ' 'nion Station purchased by the county. This will give more than half a blocV for the lew cour house and will rive nlen- y of room for a court yard. Attorney I). W.

TOE OLD OOUE TOWN Do you remember the lazy fellow who used to sit around in the the implement store and the barber shops in the old home town and predict the failure of every boy who tried to poke his nose alwjve the a a common herur up in the village of Salem they used to crack lots of jokes at the expense of a lank and ungainly young fellow who clerked in the village grocery, poled flat boats on the river and split rails for living. They called him Abe in those days. He became ptesident of the United States and thousand from far places on the earth have visited n is tomb at Springfield to do him honor. '1 hey used to make fun of Hill N cAdon back in the home town. Of course you ve heard of Hill. He dug a tunnel under the Hudson river and if sec retary of the treasury now. liut there are a lot of old tads back 111 the old hometown who sort of hope that Hill will fall over something a a . 1 yet anu land in tne cansomme. And Orville Wright was a regular joke in his old home town, li u the old home town itself that is ifie joke. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
