Recently Completed Negro Schoolhouse Set Fire To. BUILDING AT CLAYSBTJRG WELL SOAKED WITH KEROSENE. POLICE PUZZLED AS TO IDENTITY OP GUILTY ONES. CONTRACTOR WILL REBUILD. Indisputable evidence was found yesterday morning to show that a nw schoolhouse that had just been completed at Clays burg, a suburb of JeffersonviHe, for the colored pupils of 'that territory, had been intentionally fired.

The. entire building was destroyed. Everything went to show that it was Intended to burn all ot the outhouses, but for some reason they were not off," although they were practically soaked with coal oil and 'waste paper was scattered till over the buildings. The tire broke out Thursday at midnight, and the odor of burning coal oil was almost stifling. The Jeffersonville Fire Department was railed, but It could do no good for the want of water, the nearest hydrant being several squares away In Jeffersonville.

The structure was a frame affair consisting of one room that was lS.v.36 feet in size. It was completed on Thursday by William Alford. who wus given the contract by Thomas H. Straiiley' township trustee, the price being The bull-Jing was to have been occupied next Monday. Alford, fearing something infght happen, had the building insured with Fielding L.

Wilson in the Aetna Fire Insurance Company for $501), and lie not lose anything. Several empty tin cans that had contained coal oil were found near where the building stood when an examination was made yesterday, and the oil. to all appearances, had been used freely. There are two theories as to why the fire was started. One is that the wnttes did not want the school In the foivn.

and the other that the colored patrons did not believe the building was good enough, as there Is a handsome brick schoolhouse in Jelter-sonvllle which the children could attend. The building was located in a field and some distance awav from other structures. Alford will go to work at once to rebuild the burned house, as his contract is still in force. BEFORE PRISON CONGRESS. Supt.

Wlittaker Made Address That Attracted Attention. W. H. Whittaker. General Superintendent of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville.

arrived home yesterday from ChicaKo, where he went a week ago to attend the annual meeting of National Prison Congress, which, lie says, was an interesting gathering. On the last day of the meeting, Thursday, Mr. Whittaker was on the programme for an address as chairman of the Committee on Preventive and Reformatory Work, and his talk was considered among the of the several delivered before the congress. A grrt deal of what he snid was based on letters from former inmates of the Institution, both those who are still out on parole and those who have been given their final discharge. In nearly every instance the line of reformation now puisued was commended, arid those who wrote said that If the teachings given them in the Indiana Reformatory were followed the men would have no trouble making honest livings on the outside.

In his address Mr. Whittaker showed that 70 per cent, of all the criminals come from defective homes; per cent, are children of separated but living parents: 10 per cent, are complete orphans; 75 per cent, have used intoxicating liquors; 15 per cent, can neither read nor write; 55 per cent, have been schooled not farther than the fourth grade, and one out of every 1.000 Is a high school graduate. The figures are based on researches made not only In the Indiana Reformatory, but elss-where. It was held by Mr. Whittaker that It was not possibic to make good subjects out of all the delinquents of the penal institutions, but with proper enforcement of the iaw and proper juvenile supervision 50 per cent, of all delinquents could be self-supporting, and not a menace to society.

He also held that the criminal code should he revised and the svstem of fees rearranged so that the offsprings of the rich would not be permitted to pay more for being defended than the courts allow for defending the poorer class.

SCHNKIDER. Secretary: HOW FR0NTIES BANDITS OPERATED IN EARLY DAYS. Methods of Trnin Robbers Will Be Shown In Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Col. William F.

Cody. kuwn best to fame as "Buffalo Bill." with his Congress of rough riders and historical Wild West exhibition, will present, as ono of the Western with his organization, reproduction of a train robbery. Ever since the railroad first traversed the prairies, these scenejc-f. brigandage have been one of the serious Impc-fliments to a rapid development of the West. Finally the Union raolfie organized a special posse of bandit hunters, provided them with a special car for the purpose, and began a systematic effort to exterminate train robbc-rs.

The methods which have been so successfully cm-ployed by the bandit hunters of the Union Pacltic will be reproduced In the great train holdup with Buffalo Bill's Wild West. A practical engine, drawing a practical trnin, with Its load of passengers, will be Introduced in a typical Western scene. There will be correct demonstration of a train holdup, the robbery of tine express car and the search of the passengers, and as a cMmtix to the scene will come the attack of the bandit hunters and the rout and capture of the outlaws. The scene is described as being realistic. But this will not be the only picture drawn from life on the plains.

There will be three open-air based upon incidents associated with the development of the West. There will 1:3 "The Battle of Summit Spri tirV a conflict in which BuiT.ilo Bill originally participated; there will be an cn an emigrant train and there will be a scene of domestic pioneer life in "A Holiday at T-E Ranch." i.i a.l scenes the characters will be impersonated true to life, and th.j scenic environment will be as correct in det.iil as It Is theatrically possible to depict them.

Guards and Attaches of Police Know Naught of How Thomas Jefferson Outwitted Them.

Dust blow in someone's eyes long enough yesterday morning to allow Thomas Jefferson, colored, to make his escape some time between his being taken' from the jail and the calling of his case in Police Court, when he was missed for the first ttnie. Detectives Simons and Lapaille recaptured the negro two hours later at Brook and Chestnut streets. Everyone who guarded him from the time he left the jail until his absence noted denies emphatically that he was responsible for his escape. Jefferson is the only person who knows anything about the affair, and ho says that it was all so easy that he was almost ashamed to do it. "I just told one of those patrolmen or deputies or someone who looks after prisoners that I wasn't a prisoner when they started to put me in a cage with the other prisoners and walked out through the court room door," was the explanation Jefferson gave of his mysterious disappearance as if Into thin nir.

According to the statements of those "who watch the prisoners, Jefferson escaped, but the only way they found it out was that lie was missing when his care was called. No one saw him go; no one saw him enter the court room and if they did he was safely turned over to someone else and must have got oway while in their hands. Edward J. Fossee. who keeps the prisoners' cage, says the man never passed him.

N. H. Duke, deputy bailiff, who rode to the court room with the prisoners, say? Jefferson never escaped while with him. When Detectives Simons and I.ipallle returned with the prisoner they told a weird tale of the terrible battle they had with Jefferson before he submitted to arrest. Jefferson showed no signs of a conflict.

He is being held for several alleged petty larcenies, and an assault upon a motorman. He was taken Into custody first on Wednesday evening on the assault charge, released on bond and later rearrested, charged with petty thefts. Late last night a detective and Patrolman Hepp, after scouring the negro houses of East Green street, arrested Harrison Wallace, twenty-three years old, and locked him tin as a suspected felon He Is said by the police to have heen associated with Jefferson In the numerous alleged petty larceny cases which that negro is accused of being Implicated in.
