ZeitOun's Fate.

Christianity now awaits with anxiety the
news from Zeitoun. The capture of that
city by the Turks from the insurgent Ar
rrenians who have been in a state of siege
for some time Is thought by many to mean
that there will soon come tidings of one of
the most bloody massacres that the world
has ever known, for it is well known that
the sultan's troops have a standing grudge
against the people of this province, whom
they regard as their hereditary enemies.
Zeitnun has already been a scene of
slaughter. Once before the Turks captured
the province and marked their victory by
unlicensed butchery. Report has it that
the sultan is DESTROYS of preventing ex-
cesses by his troops at Zeitoun but is pow
erless to hold them in check In such an
event it is certainly the duty of the strong
nations of Europe to supplement his feeble
authority with their own power to put an
end to these outrages against humanity.
If the capture of Zeitoun should be fol-
lowed by a general massacre the Christian
world will fail Of its full duty If 1t does not
Immediately intervene. IS >.

There is an omission, probably inadvertent
but nevertheless important. from the bill au-
thorizing the extension of the Columbia
railroad and for other purposes to which
attention was called in yesterdays Star
The bill provides that the company shall
have authority Ito move and propel its cars
on the line so constructed with an under
ground electric power. or such other me-
chanical power as the Commissioners of the
District may approve 1t has been the
legislative custom for some years to incor-
porate in all such measures an iron-clad
provision specifically and peremptorily en-
GLIDING the overhead trolley from the sys-
TENS available for use, and why there should
be such an omission from the present bill
does not appear. While 1t is most likely an
oversight and there is doubtless no intention
whatever on the part of the railroad to use
the overhead system, 1t is just as we'll to be
consistent and to follow up scrupulousy the
excellent custom that has so greatly bene-
fitted the city and it's street railway facili
ties.

1t is to be hoped that thirteen will not
prove to be an unlucky number for the new
District committee of the Senate. The re-
organization of the upper house has been
along such peculiar lines as to be marked
by an increase in many of the standing
committees, and among others the District
committee receives an addition of two
members, which ought to be an increase of
its working capacity and therefore a bene-
fit to the District. The five new Senators
who. according to reports, to be as
signed to this committee are understood
to be men of energy, and although they
have had no opportunity as yet to demon
strate any special interest in local affairs
they will doubtless find congenial work in
the field of local legislation and they will
surely discover many objects worthy of
clost attention and intelligent labor. The
District finds old and tried friend in
Senator Mcmillan who will be the chair
man of the new committee.

Our Water supply.

About month ago The Star took occa-
sion to answer certain statements con-
tail ed in a paper on water supply printed
in the November issue of Municipality
aid County" in which it was asserted that
the Potomac river water is sewage-polluted
and, not being filtered, is responsible for
the city's high death rate from typhoid
fever. The author of the paper in ques-
ton, Mr.. John w. Hill, now writes to
Municipality and County in contradiction
of The Stars assertion that the Potomac
river at Great Falls is not sewage-polluted
and that it is subjec. to the law which
many scientists as sert. by virtue of which
a stream fed with a comparatively small
amount - pollution will purify itself In
its course. Mr.. Hill demonstrates that
there is lack of unanimty among scien-
fist, in regard to the self-purification of
streams, and he quotes authorities to dis
prove this theory. His deduction is that
the typhoid bacillus coming into the river
or its branches above Washington would
probably live with full power of repro
duction until long after it has passed Great
Falls, and that therefore it would "proba-
bly," pass into this city's water supply. He
does not meet the fact asserted by The
Star that there has never yet been a single
bacillus OF typhoid fever Isolated from the
water supply of the city of Washington at
the Great Falls dam, though many exami-
nations have been made nor does he now
attempt to contend that the alleged posi-
bility of the presence of occasional typhoid
bacilli in the Potomac is sufficient to just
ify the suggestion that the citys typhoid
fever Is due to Its unfiltered waters
In this connection reference may be
made to the recent report of DR.. Kober Of

Useless Committees.

1t appears that the preliminary plans CT
the steering committees now engaged in
reorsanlz1ng the Senate have received
check at the sudden discovery that there
are not enough minority committees. that
Is. committees with chairmen from the
minority party, to provide for the leaders
or mat party In the Senate. Thus two al
ternatives are presented. The whole plan
OF reorganization Will have to be called off,
or some new committees will have to be
organized to care for the leaders unpro-
Vlded with comfortable rooms, else some of
the great men in the party may become
offended. 1t seems trif1e absurd that the
Senate should be called upon to create alb

To Avoid Entnl Pnnics.

A baseess cry of fire" by some fool in a
baltimore theater last night caused a panic
that resulted in the death of more than
two score of people and the manning of
many others. The audience choked the
main exit, meeting at a narrow doorway in
two lines and falling down a short flight of
steps. Most of the people killed were the
victims of suffocation and the crush at the
doorway was terrible. The disaster fol-
loving the panic. was the direct result Of
a bad fault in the construction of the play
house, which Is old and out of date. Since
its erection in 1920 and it's restoration in
1898 there have been many marked changes
in the methods in vogue in the building Of
auditoriums. and hall or theater built to-
day is or should be planned with primary
reference to the safety of its patrons.
There are certain edifices in this city peri
odically filled with people that deserve i'm
mediate official attention in this regard.
No public structure of this character
should be allowed to progress beyond the
plan-drawing stage if the most ample de-
vices for exit are not provided, and IL by
some chance a church, a concert hall or a
theater should reach completion and go
into use with the least chance of danger
involved 1t should be speedily condemned
ty the Commissioners and it's owners re-
quired to provide some devices that will
overcome the defect. The first principle of
such construction should be to locate the
main auditorium level or nearly level with
the ground, accessible by wide doorways
opening as nearly as possible directly on
the street. The galleries should not be
placed too high, and should under no cir
cumstances be confined to a single exit,
nor should the higher gallery empty into
the passages leading from the lower. unless
the latter are unusually large. The rea-
sens for these rules of safety are obvious.
An auditorium holding several hundred
people contains when occupied the elements
of panic. 1t will not do to depend upon
the Intervention of cooler minds to stay
crowd of panic-stricken people. The only
rule of safety is to provide the most COM
plete means of exit known to architecture.
and, as in all problems that deal directly
with the preservation of human life. the
only solution permissible is that which ex-
harsts every possibility andospares no ex-
pense. 1t may be that an official inspec-
tion of local auditoriums of all kinds, In
spired by the sad affair in Baltimore, might
result in wholesome revelations and RENE

this city, an avowed and vigorous advoca tie
Of the filtration of the Potomac water.
who made an official investigation of the
typhoid epidemic prevalent here last au-
tUmn. DIR. Kober, who Is in advance
Of local sentiment in his suspicious con-
cernirg our Potomac water supply, ven-
lures as his strongest assertion against
1t the following statement: 1T is prob
able though not proven, that 1t at times
contains organisms or substances capable
of producing diarrhoea in persons not &C
customad to its USE and the typhoid bacil-
lus is not absolutely excluded from it,
although it has never been actually found
in it,
The Star will leave to the opposing sci
entistS the task of determining conclusively
whether in sixty miles of flow the Potomac
does or does not SO purify itself that it is
impossible for any sewage containing ty-
phoid bacilli to enter the aqueduct at Great
Falls. If defamers of the Potomac instead
of relying upon hints of possibilities were
able to furnish absolute proof that stray
typhoid bacillus had found its way from
the Potomac into our water supply, The
Star would still consider Mr.. Hills original
publication to be unfounded and unjust
The gist of Mr.. Hills indirect charge was
luted that in the absence of filtration it is
responsible for the city's high death rate
from typhoid fever.
Everybody knows that the MAN, if not
the sole, cause of typhoid fever in the Dis
trict Is the lack of an adequate sewerage
system and the existence and use of wells
subject to pollution by surface drainage
The Star has seen no reason to believe
that the Potomac has anything to do with
the typhoid fever.
Even DR.. kober's main contention and
recommendation bore upon the necessity
or establishing at once a complete and
modern system of sewers, which is sadly
needed. and he urged that every we'll in
the District be closed and THAT all box
privies should at tnce be abolished. AS
a fourth recommendation ,iof compar-
atively minor Importance, he urged that
the Potomac water supply be filtered 1t
would be vain to pretend that Washington
fas had lower death rate from typhoid
fever than many other cities, which are sup
piled with the most modern systems of
sewers, whose water supply is adequate
enabling them to dispense with wells,
and which have been able in excess
of precaution to establish expensive fill
tratiCn plants. That is the ideal toward
which all of the Inhabitants of the capital
are looking with pleasure, and until it is
attained there will be no cessation in their
efforts to secure better sewers and a
greater and better water supply Mean
while all insinuations that the Potomac at
Great Falls is the sewage-polluted source
of the city's typhoid fever will be resisted
as untrue, and as fimsy guesswork based
only upon alleged possibilities which pos
sibilities even have been controverted by
the opinion of able scientists If Washing
ton depended for its typhoid fever sup
ply upon the Potomac river, its death rate
from that disease would be too small TO be
the subject of any comment or controversy.

Another Conspiracy Story.

From the Honolulu Advertiser.
1t is indeed unfortunate that another con-
spracy story must be carried to the states
by the outgoing steamer. The injury done
by these. to Us, incidental happenings that
hardly cause a ripple in the business COM
munity, is almost equal to a full-tiedged
revolt in its effect upon our business inter-
ests abroad. The imaginative mind has full
scope and it is always easier to spread a
false impression: the tendency of human
nature is to listen to the exaggeration in
preference to plain facts. Although We have
consprators we also know how to take care
of them. The men now in prison were ap-
pretended a short time after their arrival

The week hes been rather unevcntful
from local point of view Christmas day
was appropriately celebrated in the differ
ent churches, while the inmates of hospit-
ais and asylums found the day pleasant
one. through the thoughtfulness of kind
hearted people. During the week two new
Methodist churches were opened-the Fiji
teepth Street NJ. F. Church and the Ed
worth NJ. f. Church South. Tie Commits
sioners gave hearing Monday to the West
End League. when large number of resi-
dents of that section of the city were pres
ent in protest against the erection of a
garbage crematory on 24th street near n
street; this protest was further strength
ened Tuesday by letter from the attor-
neys of Mrs. Hearst. Monday Mr.. George
HELEN won the presidents cup In the tour
nament of the Washington Golf Club.
Tuesday evening Detective Proctor was set
upon by roUghs and badly injured. Mr.
Wm Fitch. the ia her OF Mr.. j. T.. Fitch
died Wednesday morning. An unusually
heavy wind and rain storm swept over the
city Thursday evening. The question of
DIR. Satte:lecs accepting the call to be the
first bishop of the new diocese of Washing

was received from him sgn;fying his inten-
