WAR DEPARTMENT. RESPONSIBLE
For II in All Probability and Does Not
Desire TO State II.
lNHUMANITY COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED
AS the Character Of the Campaign Being
Waaed in the Philippines Was Known
TO the Authorities.
Especial to Tho Post,

Washington, April 3o.-Another important
step In the movement which seeks 20 get at
the real facts in the Philippine situation
was taken today when Senator Culberson
offered a resolution, the purpose Of which
is to elicit definite information as to the
responsibility for the famous kill and
burn" order
The fact that the Texans request for
immediate consideration of the resolution
was opposed by Senator Lodge, chairman
OF the Philippine committee, and that at
the instance Of the latter II was ordered to
lie printed and lie on the table indicates
very conclusively, 1t Is thought, that the
administration does not court an investigs-
tion into the vexed problem for fear that
Il will be embarrassed oven more than it Is
at present.
The belief is growing that the war de-
partment either issued orders which justl-
ned the barbarity in the islands or that Il
became fully cognizant Of the character OF
I the campaign being waged in time 70 have
prevented much Of the cruelty and inhu.
manity which. according to credible wit.
nesses. has been so much in evidence.
The offering OF the resolution created
something of a stir The republicans are
beginning to appreciate the fact that the
democrats propose to get TO the bottom of
the matter. and It is apparent that they
are greatly disturbed. 1t is hoped that the
resolution eventually may be pushed
through and that in conjunction with the
one offered by Representative Burleson and
reported by the house committee yesterday
1t may be so handled as to elicit information
concerning the Philippine campaign which
could not be secured in any other way and
which viii show that the administration is
wholly responsible for the atrocities which
have been so much in evidence.

reach the scene several Of the occupants
OF the building had rushed TO the win
dows and jumped to the street, dis
lance OF over fifty feet. Helen Tolini. one
OF those TO jump, was instantly killed
When the fremen aud policemen arrived
every effort was made to quiet the ter.
rorlzed girls. The iremen rushed up the
stairway and begged the girls to be calm,
telling them that there was absolutely no
danger. but the sight OF the aremen seemed
only to add fuel to the flames While the
policemen and tiremen were eudenvoring to
quiet the girls on the stairway ladders
were run up on the outside of the building
and the employees who had climbed out
onto the IRE escapes and window hedges
Were quickly taken to the street.
After a few minutes the men were en-.
shled to check the awful crush on the
stairway and then began the work Vt res
cuing those who had been trampled and
crushed between the second and third floors
The alarm for nmbulances had been turned
In and as quick as the dead and injured
could be carried from the building they
we're hurried to hospitals. The number OF
ambulances were entirely inadequate and
patrol wagons were brought into use 90

The scene about the structure was heart
rending. The building is located In sec
tion largely inhabited by Hebrews many
Of whom were caught In the terrible crush.
Parents and relatives Of the unfortunate
girls were screaming and rushing about the
streets like mad, and Il was almost i'm
possible for the police officials TO restrain
the mothers and relatives OF supposed vic
Tins from entering the building. The work
OF rcscuing the girls from the windows was
necessarily tedious. They were so excited
that they did not seem to understand the
pleadlngs OF the fremen, Al nearly every
window Of the structure were girls scream
ing and crying for help. Many were so ex-
cited that it was with the greatest difficulty
that they were prevented from jumping
from the building Notwithstanding that
there was not sign Of fire and their rescue
seemed only the work of few moments.

FOLLOWED THE HOUNDS.
Chevy Chase Hunters Brave tnfa-
yOrnbIe Weather.

In spite Of the lowering clouds which
early in the afternoon threatened a snow
storm, the high wind. and the biting cold,
the Chevy Chase Hounds met for the usual
Saturday hunt yesterday afternoon, and
under the conditions, which were quite suf-
ficient to deter all but the most ardent
and constant followers, a considerable
number OF riders assembled at the Wood
ley Inn.
Shortly after 3:15 o'clock the hounds
were cast in a neighboring field and the
drag bore southwardly to the Tunlaw
Road-where several nasty drop jumps"
were cncountered-and thence westwardiy
toward the Reservoir and the Potomac
River.
There the pack turned northeast, past
"Westoyer," Mr.. Charles Glovers place,
ard the Country Club to West Chevy
Chase, and thence by the bride path to
the Kennels. where tho finish was made
over two 'post and rail- fences-in all
about eight miles.
Considering the bitter, strong wind.
which made it very hard for the hounds
to follow the scent. the run was decidedly
fast. Although the ground was frozen
hard there were no mishaps of any sort,
but what might have caused less skill
ful rider to bad ''cropper" was averted
by the admirable horsemanship OF Mr..
Knox, son of the Attorney General.
Among those who followed the hunt
were Miss Newlands on Belleaires, Miss
Parrish on Cobwebs. Miss Postlethwaite
on Miss Anne, Mr. William Marrow, acting

Moore, on Lord Craven. Mr.. Barclay .

This fact made 1t necessary to Go what
could then be done to provide library
facilities for the public. But it WIS seen
chat, in order to make this library as useS
full to the people as such an institution
should be, it was necessary that it be
better sustained than it had been so far.
The company had a lot and a building
on Eleventh Street, south OF Pennsylvania
Avenue, opposite Carusi's saloon, and the
rooms were open from p. IN. 10 sunset.
By 1857 the number OF volumes in the
library reached 6,00O and the institution
was patronized by the hest citizens of
Washington.
Soon after this time 1t was suffered to
become of little use to the public. but in
February, 1855 the rooms were enlarged
and the building put in complete repair.
The library was increased and also the
number of shareholders. and the rooms
were kept open afternoon and evening. a
meeting was held February II, 1858, to
determine what the future of the library
should be, at which it was resolved to
appoint a committee to place the claims
Of the library before the public. This
committee consisted of twenty citizens.
Soon afterward it was publicly an
nounced that the library had received sew
