TWICE GIVES THAT GIVES Quickly.

There has been no time in the history of
this community when it has not been ready
10 respond to the cali of distress. The cry OF
the suffering and the poor has always found
open ears. open hearts, open purses. Relief
has been given wherever and wherever pos
sible.
Another emergency has arisen 10 test the
generous impulses of our people. Want and
suffering stalk abroad among the lowly homes
OF the city. Hunger and cold and nakedness
are familiar guests in many households. Aid
must be given, not tomorrow or some day
next week, but to-day, now, at once.
The Central Relief Committees appeal
states the situation and its needs. Argument
should not be necessary to convince people
that prompt assistance is required. Many
mouths are to be fed, many limbs to be
clothed, many hearths to be kept warm.
No matter through what channels you
choose 10 distribute your aid, let it come
quickly. Whether it be in the shape of
money, or clothing, or provisions, attendance
at charity entertainments, or in any other
way, the chief desideratum is that whatever
you intend to do you should do right now.

A GREAT NEWS CATERER.

The magnificent service rendered by the
Associated Press was never better illustrated
to the people Of Washington than by the
story Of the catastrophe in Butte, Mont. OF
which such full account was given in the
regular and extra editions of The TINES yes
terday morning.
1t was not mere bulletin which the Associ-
ated Press sent out. giving few hastily gath
cred facts, a mere intimation of the occur
renee as it really was. but a graphic report,
fun of details, and presenting all the essential
features of the event.
1t was an achievement worthy OF the great
news gathering association. and TIE TINES
showed its appreciation by giving the dis.
patches the prominence they deserved.

LET THE PUBLIC HAVE HIS NAME.

Senator Faulkner yesterday made the ex-
traordinary statement to the Senate District
subcommittee that The company endeavoring
to obtain a charter from Congress to furnish
75-cent gas to the District had offered TO sell
out to the Washington Gaslight Company and
not push this bill.
The name of the man who made this propo-
sition should be given to the public. No one
doubts the veracity of Senator Faulkner, but
sneh an attempt to either blackmail the
Washington Gaslight Company or to prevent
the passage of bill for cheaper gas demands
thorough. investigation. Let the people of
Washington know something more about this
offer TO sell out.

Easier Berths.

Three of the Older Officers May Be Given
Easier Berths.
1t was learned on good authority last night
that arrangements have been made for the
promotion of at least three of the younger
police sergeants to louienanteies. The lieu
tenants to be supplanted. it is SAID, will not
be removed from the force or retired. but re-
duced to the ranks honorably, and detailed
at police Headquarters for clerical work.
This will result in causing some OF the
young clerks ut hea iquarters to don their
blue suits and brass buttons and do street
duty. while the lieutenapts who have served
the people long and well will be given the
less arduous and exciting duties as clerks.
Another feature of the proposed change Is
that Major Moore viii, in this manner, have
as counselors and advisers nj headquarters
men of long experience in police matters.
The lieutenants mentioned as the probabIli-
ties are Vernon, Kelly, and Gessford.
