Wants Thcater Exits Open.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Referring to the communication of Pro
Bono Publico that appeared in your issue
of the 10th instant, and the article con-
tanned in The Star of yesterday relating to
the closing of an entrance at Albaugn's
Grand Opera House, permit ME to say: 1t
Is time that public attention was called to
the facts bearing on this case.
The plan proposed by the manager of the
opera house does not materially lessen
the danger complained Of. 1t is proposed
to compel carriages to assemble on 10TH
street $50 far so good, and call at the en-
trance to the theater on that street for
their patrons after the performance.
This will not avoid the danger complain
ed of. All agree that the owners of the
house are entitled to great credit for pro-
viding the new and handsome entrance
leading from Pennsylvania avenue, but
this affords no excuse for rendering the
building insecure to life, by closing a more
spacious exit, except at the moment of
closing performance, as now proposed.
When the handsome improvement was
finished the exit on 10Th street was closed.
By so doing, as shown by your correspon-
dent, and as / can testify, as well as can
many others, the house has been left with
out adequate means of clearing 1T of an
audience equal to its capacity in time to
avoid great danger to life in case of fire.
By closing the doorway above mentioned
danger was greatly increased in another
OHeClloH Inc occupants Oh the spacious
gallery are now required to descend to Il
street by narrow winding stairway, poor
ly provided with handrais, without any
other means of escape. This stairway
would certainly become a mere death trap
in case of a panic.
Before the outlet on 18th street was closed
provision was made for allowing persons,
If necessary, descending from the gallery
to pass through gates into the vestibules
of the theater and by this means effect an
escape down the spacious stairways pro-
vided for at the entrance on 10th street.
But little expense would attend the OPEN
ing of the exit above referred to when
performances In the theater begin and a
keeping of it open so that persons could
pass out or in until the hour of closing.

THE SIT. LOUIS.

Tomorrow there will be launched ait
Cramps shipyard in Philadelphia, the
American line steamer ST. Louis The
event is an important one and has at
tracted much attention, as the ST.
Louis is the first modern ocean passen-
ger vessel built in this country. IT
marks a new departure and if followed
up by proper legislation would be the
Inauguration Of a policy that will
again make the American mer-
lchant marine what it once was. 1t is
interesting and profitable to recall the
circumstances that led to the building
of the st. Louis.
Just before the close of President
Harrison's administrs ton, Congress
passed a special act granting the Ann
erican Line company the right to buy
the City of New York and the City of
Rome and admitting them to American
registry, thus giving them the same
rights as vessels built in this country.
To this grant there was a condition at
tached. This condition was that the
company SO purchasing them should
build two vessels of the same Character
and to be used in the same business.
The condition was accepted, and the
st. Louis is one of the boats fulfilling
that condition.
What does eli this signify and what
is it's Importance? 1t signifies that the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-11-11

American company would hot have I'M
dertakan to build the st. Louis unless
permitted to build the City of New
York and City of Rome with rights to
American registry. They would not
have done this because they could not
on account of the cost of building such
vessels in this country as their bust
ness demanded. But they could do it
when allowed to buy foreign-built
boats, for this was in reality allowing
them to purchase the material that
would enter into the construction of
the boats to be built with the tariff
on it reduced fifty per cent. They
build two boats on which the tariff ON
the material in them is added to the
price, but they purchase two boats on
which the tariff does not have to be
paid.
The Importance of this is that by
reducing the tariff on shipbuilding ma
terials fifty per cent, two boats are
built that otherwise would not have
been. The lowering of the tariff, then,
in this special instance has given an
impetus to shipbuilding in this coun-
try that was otherwise wanting Here
is case in point where the lowering of
the tariff has renewed an industry that
excessive protection had killed.
The same liberal policy toward the
sh1pbuilding industry, if pursued, would
give the United States prestige on
the sea that would eventually be sec
ond to that of no other nation.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The naked issue to be decided at the
polls today is whether or not the city of
New York is fit for self-government.
The Tammany bosses brazenly assume
that it is not. They assume that such
government as they give is all the city
needs or asks. They ridicule not only
the attempt at reform, but the idea
that any considerable number of people
demand reform or are dissatisfied with
existing conditions.-N. Y. World.
