A. W Wright, foreman Of Engine Com

Chief Engineer Of the Fire Department
letter calling attention to the bad
condition OF the bridge over the BaIrf-

Afternoon is called TO an accident
which occurred 10 the apparatus Of the
IRE company about a month ago. Fore
man Wright says that when responding
10 an alarm il became necessary to cross
Jhis bridge He states that the driver of
the hose carriage could not see his way
clearly because of the poor light and
that one wheel dropped into a hole on
the side. Foreman Wright believes that
II a train or locomotive had come along
before the wheel was lifted out il would
have resulted in the destb Of the horses.
the demolition Of TIE bridge. and the
destruction OF the apparatus OF the

the District are just as liable as the

STATES FAVOR AMENDMENT.


The election of United States Senators
ny direct vote of the people is the motive
underlying call TO action by various
States acting ooneurreutIy. With this
end in view a constitutional convention
fer the purpose Ct making certain amend
mcuts has been asked for by six States.
and others are said to be preparing to
join in the movement Michigan Colo
RADIO. Montana. Oregon. Idaho, and Ne
yada are the States now i'm line.
a section in the Constitution provides
that, upon the application Of two-thirds
of..the number Of States for the consider
alton Of amendments. q meeting shall be
called by Congress. such amendments be
ing valid when ratified by thrce-fourths
Of all the States. Thirty or more of the
several state Legislatures have already
declared in favor Of the direct election
Of Senators. and il is expected that Con-
gress viii soon be petiticned by all Of
these and more. 4 constitutional con-
venticn for the consideration Of the SEN
atorial election amendment and other
features may therefore be considered
foregone conclusion.
Some Of the Senators are alarmed over
the concerted action OF the states. fearing
a business panic as q result Of such ac-
ton. The claim is made that the con-
yenuon could not be confined TO a con
slderation Of the amendment on Seua-
torial elections. but that the whole field
Of revision would be gone over and as the
convention would be in session for year
the uncertainty IN the business world
would be disastrous.
Efforts Will therefore be made by mem
bers of the Senate to avert the movement.

Thomas ~. GiImer. who Is a frequent
contributor TO the mails OF the District
Commissioners. in recent letter takes
a morning paper to task for advocating
an Impractical reform He refers to an
editorial in the paper referred TO in
which the reflection was set forth that
poor people would keep clean IN water

dwellings. and that the public health
generally would be much improved.
Mr. Gilmer lays aside his duties long
enough 10 say 10 the Commissioners that
f. does not seem 10 him that FOR many
years 20 come such a reform would be
practicable. lie says that landlords no
cats 70 certain OF the poorer classes

al appreciate the sO-calied modern inn

E- Cilmer says that this class OF
people are not yet educated mp % the
use OF water externally. In fact he has
an impression that many OF them do
not use water internally EXCEPT IN cases
Of great necessity, when no other means
OF irrigation iS obtaiuable. Mr. GImcr
says that cases are cited where such
tenants have been known 20 use bath

common practice for such people 90 choke
