INSPECTING THE WIRES.

All that the board could do to-day was to
continue its inspection of the electric light
ing wires and locate accurately instances of
imperfect insulation. Expert Wheeler had
at his disposal eight linemen borrowed from
the Western Union, and four of his own in
spectors. They travelled over the main line
of electric wires and took notes, which they
turned in at the Office of the board. Expert
Wheeler and Commissioner GiDbens were
there to receive them.
81 don't think it would be wise just now, T"
Expert Wheeler said, ''to make public what
we have discovered, but our men have re-
ported great mass Of imperfect insulations
and l should say, in general way, that
one-half Of the wires examined have been
found to be imperfectly insulated. This
includes the wires of all the electric light
ing companies. If the temporary injunc-
ton is not continued tomorrow my idea is
to take down every electric wire which is
not properly insulated from the Battery to
the Yonkers line. 1 should judge that
there are about
FIVE HUNDRED MILES
of wire which would come down. This
might leave the city dark around Four
teenth street but it would leave the city
safe." Inspector Reilly, of the board, re-
ported to Mr.. Wheeler that on Saturday
afternoon be tore down, in Reade and Cham
bers streets, about 1000 feet of the wire of
the Daft Electric Motor Company, and that
this morning the company had itself taken
down the rest of its wire.
"Should Judge Andrews not continue the
injunctions," said Commissioner Gibbens,
I've will instantly set at work about 40 men
to cut out every imperfect wire they can
find. There has been no cutting to-day"
Superintendent Humstone, of the Western
Union Company, sent word to Expert
Wheeler that he could not find the wire
which killed Lineman Feeks, and that he
doubted if it could be found. Many people
visited to-day the home of Lineman Feeks,
at 58 East One Hundred and Twenty-ninth
street. At6P. NJ the box on the fatal pole
was taken down. 1t yielded $3.50 q, with
nothing bigger than a So bill. This added
to the 1922 % contributed on Saturday
makes s., ,00l 46. The box will be placed
on the pole again to-day.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH, /,

WASHINGTON, October 13-'I know it
very difficult for Northern people to COM
prehend why General Chalmers should with
draw from the Gubernatorial canvass on
account of bulldozing, but that is because
they don't understand Mississippi methods, :"
said Ralph Ballin, Esq, Mississippi Re-
publican and prominent attorney, to the
correspondent of The DISPATCH this
evening.
, "It was not for fear of his life, of course,
for that would imply cowardice, but from
sheer inability to conduct anything like q
canvass. Shut out of public halls and his
followers, especially the colored people,
threatened with riot every time they as
sembled, it is no wonder to me that Chalmers
and some of his associates withdrew from
the contest.
THEY HAD NO CHANCE.
'Of course there was no chance for the
Republicans to win under any eircum-
stances. The ticket, composed entirely Of
white men, with one exception, vas nomi-
mated tor the purpose of showing that the
Republican party was not necessarily the
negro party The nominees were nearly
all Of them former prominent Democrats,
and they represented not only every section
and interest, but the best ability and highest
respectability of the State. The convention
said, there is Republican ticket, but It is
also white man. ticket, and no Democratic
candidates can be superior to these
1.-THE forced retirement of candidates,
therefore, proves that it is not suppositious
negro party to which the majority object,
but to the Republican party, no matter
what classes it represents. Mississippi
Democrats have served notice on the Re
publicans of that State, and the country,
that they do not propose to let even the
barest Republican organization to get foot
hold there. That is the plain meaning Of
the situation.
PERTINENT QUESTION.
ssNow, what are you going to do about it?
1t is question for the whole country and
not for Mississippi alone. If the Republican
party, having now the majority in Congress
and the control of the Government, does not
fight night and day for the enactment of
laws or the enforcement of laws already en-
acted, that will insure safety to Republicans
during campaign and fair and peaceable
elections. then It does not deserve to exist.
In my opinion the laws now on the statute
books are sufficient, but no attempt is made
to enforce them"
Another Mississippi Republican says that
he feels high degree Of satisfaction that
Chalmers has been driven out of the cam
paign, as it is merely giving him dose of
his own medicine. It is but few years,
says the Mississippian, since Chalmers was
one OF the leading Democratic bulldozers of
the State, encouraging in every way the
methods that have driven him from the
field.

We must first ascertain what portion OF
this debt if any, We owe, before we begin
to dickar about the payment.
L is question for Virginia and West

It would be an Outrage on the people
fer the Legislature to take any action uron

A HEATED CONTEST.
The heat with which the contest IN the
Joint assembly was carried on isillussrated
hv little incident, that was not entirely
creditsble to tire Republican gentlemen en-
gagged in it. The Democrats have been
very free in making pairs, aud always &C

they can do it. This was shown in the

and another had told him the same thing.
Then the az xious member sought cut the

They delibeIated over and finally came TO

the committee could have for such action

but how it shall be held. The majority
If both parties seem to favor an adjourned
session Of the Legislature instead special
one called by the Governor. The advan-
tage which the former would give would be
TO allow the consideration of any measures
that may be desired. This is very iD1-
portant matter in the light of the fact that
several pct measures and hobbies are likely
to bs swamped in the rush If the present
session. In all probability the necessary
thirds for the adjourned session will
be secured and the Legislature will control
it's own sutj;cts of legislation during that
time.
