Gather into your ranks all Irishmen and men of Irish descent who are willing to live and will continue their abiding love for their country and church and make themselves type of citizens in this great land of their adoption. "In the name of St. Patrick never shall the sons of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, founded a century ago, be weary, may it float over the battlefields of common religion. "We may well look to St. Patrick as the rock from which we were hewn, and his and his numerous successors we owe many of those traits that characterize and have characterized the Irish race. He was the great protector for any devotion to Christian civilization. To every surrounding decide on the children of St. Patrick owe the great distinguishing honor those whose lives they consecrate to God. They may be seen among the most successful men living faithfully, the duties of a world citizenship. It is gratifying to look to the labors of Irish men and scholars who have done so much to uphold the dignity of the church and Christian education in the United States." ### Hope for Ireland. "It is longer do we meet to speak of Ireland's condition in a spirit of despair. The sun of Ireland's opportunity is creeping upon her out from the hill-tops of ancient Celtic hope, her sons and daughters will be riders in the land where for centuries their enemy has been the master of men and Christian. And let us hope that the glorious dawn of Ireland's future is fast approaching, and let us send the word that the Irish race at home are able to accomplish the tasks and spiritual things the resources with which they have been entrusted by God." ### Delightful Day.

The collapse also caused the collapse of the wall, burying under debris. Work was immediately ordered by Building Commissioner McKinlay who was directing the work. A fire company exploring the ruins of the club forced the wall would hold up under the strain and ordered them. This action probably prevented greater loss of life. Employees of the annex of the St. Louis Seed company had anchored themselves in the basement of the old Missouri Athletic club building, which stood five stories and when it partly fell in, all rushed to escape from the four-story building, the walls of the outer portion collapsed and the entire floor crumbled. In the outer washout it was impossible to determine how many had been buried in the debris but within an hour's time 15 had been partially accounted for. In addition, six injured had been taken from the ruins, one was known to be dead, and several still were unaccounted. James Cole, an employee of the seed company, was rescued by a number of rescuers who tried to extricate him from the ruins. Electric lights were strung about the ruins during the night and 50 or more workmen tugged at the heavy timbers and Father Kennedy, a Catholic priest, hurried to the scene from the nearby church. Father Kennedy also administered the last sacraments to those caught in the debris. Two other priests worked in the ruins giving last rites to the injured. Another body lay across the body of Mr. Cole when the rescuers reached him and after treatment he is physically unwilling. The bad news was found plastered in the basement of the seed company building and Chief Murphy of police undertook to reach Mrs. Cole by impressing Dr. Martin. Physicians were immediately called upon, who prepared to quickly amputate when workmen succeeded in removing the debris. In the seed company building at the corner of Fifth and Elm, a large number of workmen and a large number of workmen were strewn about the debris. The loss of several lives and for or six men office employees. The injured were the worst to the portion of the building. Several men were believed to have escaped with slight or no injuries. The injured were for the most part young women who were engaged in work after pilfering the ruins. William Howard, an office employee who had been sent to the building, was a widow still as the walls crashed down, pinning him until firemen released him. ### BANDIT BAND SCATTERED.

The band was dispersed after a brief engagement, however, when the force of constitutionalist cavalry detachment continued in pursuit of the fugitives. --- ## Column 3 *(Center column with photograph)* *The fife and drum corps which participated in yesterday's exercises.* --- ## Column 3 (continued) # FLEE FROM FLAMES AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE ## Scantily Clad Young Women March Orderly Through Smoke to Safety.

Samuel V. Stewart in an Address Before the South Bend Knife and Fork Club of Indiana Tells of the Success Attained by His State in the Working of Prisoners Without the Use of Armed Guards. (Special Dispatch to the Miner.) South Bend, Ind., March 17—Speaking before the south Bend Knife and Fork club, an organization before which the biggest minds of the country have addressed themselves, Governor Stewart, of Montana, tonight stirred an audience of unusual pride and enthusiasm. His address on "Applied Humanity in Prison Control," striking the popular chord. ### Governor's Address. The governor surprised his audience by telling them that Montana was the pioneer state in the working of prisoners on the honor system without armed guards. He went into considerable detail as to the results obtained in the employment of convicts outside of prison walls and without the use of armed guards. ### Particularly Appropriate. The address of Governor Stewart was particularly appropriate for an Indiana audience because Indiana has one of the most successful applications of the honor system to the state penal institution. Governor Stewart upheld the idea of the honor and mentioned also the bill which is about to be introduced in Montana. ### The Club. The Knife and Fork club of this city is the most notable institution in Indiana. During the five years of its existence the most notable men in the history of literature have addressed the club. "The term 'west' has been a misleading term," said Governor Stewart, "the 'west' has not been on the Pacific Coast at all. It has been on the Pacific Coast. The west has been shifting west for more than a generation. One hundred and fifty years ago Thomas Jefferson sent two twenty young men to explore the wilderness northwest of the Missouri. Lewis and Clark followed the most explored rocky regions and furnishes to us what is known today as Montana. A comprehensive biography whether to be credited to Lewis and Clark and their successors they went found when seeking not other waste of civilization. "Montana may be said to have gained white settlements already on the Pacific Coast and their success has not been built down upon them and the true mountains were to have overcome in the making of a state out of a land of rugged mountains, fertile valley and gently sloping hills and now the great mountain states. Whatever may have been the fate of other civilization the man who was sent to the west have been able to detect his responsibilities, and began to find that the man who was taken on through great institutions made a great civilization. There are today found that the men who made the west settled down and found that the cold gray walls of the prison and into hard walls and their associations had a beat down upon them and the free air of the mountain has served them better. Hardship rather than reward and, in fact, endure hardship rather than go back. After investigation the early trackers discovered that some of the most earnest prisoners were the most short term men, and that the house for long terms were among the most valuable. The young men and permanently confirmed criminals and tramps, and unreliable men and recidivists, and tendencies can rarely be trusted and were not so trustworthy. The long term men, on the other hand, are nearly safe. Often they will attempt to escape, but generally they did not to serve, especially if they hear the rattle of the harvest machinery, as they feel the lob of the toying foot. "Among the many privileges which the senior partner of the old firm was entitled to receive and were carried off to the office with the years of experience— *(continued on Page Two — Col.

Throughout the-day crowds assembled in front of Caillaux's residence, the Figaro office, and Saint Lazare prison where Mme. Caillaux is confined. The streets of the capital were at times composed of curious spectators. Ah, there is no more inflammatory issue than any attempted hostile demonstrations. The two men were arrested and taken to the police station.

Crowds in front of police barred the streets, and disorder threatened. --- # THOUSANDS OF IRISH PARADE IN NEW YORK New York, March 17—Thousands of loyal Irishmen polished up their silk hats and mounted high their bands, and marching to the music of the day in honor of their patron saint.
