Thinks Fire Was Incendiary. Thick fire walls on the two adjoining buildings prevented a possible spread of the fire. Morris believes that some one took advantage of his absence and set fire to the building.

He notified the police of his suspicions and an investigation is being conducted in conjunction with Fire Chief J. A. Fisher Morris was grief-stricken over the loss of valuable- furnishings in his apartments, He said that nothing in the apartments was saved and that he would not have taken $12,000 for his belongings. Among (his losses, lie said, waas a wardrobe, valued at and a player piano, valued at $730. He carried $6,000 insurance.

Fire Attracted Thousands. The fire was opposite The Journal building and attracted a crowd of thousands. The firemen stretched ropes to hold the throng back but these were broken down time after time, and final-ly the crush became so great that the firemen were forced to allow the crowd leeway of the sidewalk on the south side of State street in front of the fire. Crowds Hamper Firemen. P.

J. Kent, a Cornell student, was arrested last night Vy members of Eureka Fire and Police Patrol Company, No. 4, for persisting in pushing his way through the fire lines. Kent was arraigned in Tity Court this morning and deposited $3, bail to appear for a hearing tomorrow morning. Owing, to the considerable trouble which resulted from the congestion at last night's fire, suggestions were made today by persons interested in firemanic matters, that hereafter the area near a fire should be roped off at least seventy-five or one hundred yards on each side of the blaze.

As it Is now. the crowds often surge around the apparatus and hose, hampering the firemen in their work.

No one but students do it. Some persons even consider it gambling and not to be tolerated. The students themselves enjoy the element of chance in it." Match your for fares, and let me tell you I always win" or lost, as the case may be Bays one to another while the conductor waits to see whose nickels he will take.

The statement of the student is inaccurate, although he does not realize the fact. Tossing Coins in Class Room. A Journal reporter when passing a class room on the Campus the other day was surprised when he looked in to see about thirty students, some of them women, matching coins. Is this what they teach at Cornell? In he walked to investigate. They all kept on seemingly working Industriouely.

Some of them were flipping the coins, too. "Heads" and "Tails" were the only words spoken. Each time the result was written down. Finally the class was called to order. -I should say so!" thought the reporter.

The students were told to count up the results. The instructor then explained to the students why it is perfectly moral for them to match for carfare. In the long run, he said, nobody will "do" them and they won't "do" anybody. That is, if they keep at it long enough, say four years at college, perhaps all their lives probably at the end of that time, they will have paid out just as much for the fares of their friends as their friends have paid to bring them up the Mill. And so be even.

The diversion and sure expenditure of money are now demonstrated to be backed by the laws of chance. Scientific Test at to "Chance."

White. What I said to your reporter relative to my own participation In the legislation which "created Cornell University" was that when the bill granting it a charter having passed the Senate came down to the House, as I represented Tompkins County in that body, it as a matter of course, came into my charge. I may rightfully claim that I did I could to get it through the House and that I esteemed it a great privilege to do so. HENRY B. LORD.
