power to secure the unseating Of Sena-
tor Smoot. AS Is usual In such Trades,
the reverend gentleman depended upon
his Imagination for his facts In that he
insisted Senator Smoot Is polygamlst.
In his peroration he said; 1T would be
an insult to American womanhood, TO
the Bible TO Jesus Christ. to Anglo
Saxon civilization TO allow this polyga-
mist Mormon to administer and to
make laws of the United states, Let

WHAT SIMEON WOLF SAYS.
In contradiction to this bigoted ut
terance there appears in the Washing
ton Post this morning communication
from Simeon Wolf, recognized as the
most conspicuous man in the National
CAPITAL of the Hebrew faith. Mr.. Wolf
says:
Editor Post:
II am, as an American citizen and
careful observer of events, truly anus
ed vet not surprised to see the immense
nils n
men of both sexes in regard to Senator
Smoot. Ii Is the first time In my eX-
perience that | have been made aware
that a sovereign state has no right OF
selecting its representatives and sena-
tors 10 Congress or that those bodies
have not the right OF admission or eN-
clusion. Senator Smoot to the best OF
my recollection was elected by ma
jority vote of the Legislature HIS cer-
tifcate properly attested by the secre-
tary of that state, was no doubt pre-
sented as Is customary and lawful TO
the senate and he was duly admitted,
He has not been guilty as far as know
of any immoral practises or dishonora-
BILE conduct while acting as senator, ana
therefore | cannot imagine how the
senate can do otherwise than accord TO
him the same rights and privileges that
are claimed by his colleagues.
A CHANCE FOR GOOD PEOPLE

who are 80 anxious to reform the con-
duet and practises of individuals

AIR BRAKES ON TRAINS.
Proposed to Give Discretion to Inter
state Commission.

The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce has authorized MI
Wanger. in charge of the Foraker safety
appliance bill, to offer an amendment to 1t
authorizing the Interstate commerce COM
mission to reduce the number of air brakes
to be operated in trains.
This proposition was made by the roads
which appeared before the House commit
tee against the bill last year, but the en-
ployes strenuously opposed such a provi-
sion. claiming it bad principle and prece-
dent to allow a commission of inexperi-
enced railroad men to go so far into the
details of railroading and modify law
which was made for the purpose of pro-
tecting human life and limb. They did,
however. agree to an amendment giving
the commission the right for good cause to
extend the time in which any railroad
should comply with the provisions Of the
act.
1t has been understood that all of the
roads whose representatives appeared be-
fore the House committee against the bill
withdrew their objections. and the bill was
30 reported to the House. The employees
now think 1t unfair that other roads which
sist quietly on this additional amendment
and say that this amendment Is put forth
by a certain railroad which wants no legis-
lation OF the kind, and knowing that the
employees are opposed to this amendment
and VIII not accept 1t think they can pre-
vent the Bills passage by insisting that 1t
remain in.

THE COST TOO GREAT.
Reason Building Lines on Certain
Streets Cannot Be Established,

The Commissioners recently received a
communication from the committee on
parks and reserva lions Of the Mount Pleas
ant Citizens Association, requesting that
proceedings be Instituted with view to the
establishment of building lines ON the mar
row streets III Mount Pleasant.
w. P. Richards. the assistant engineer in
charge of streets. has reported to the Com
missioners that although the act for the
widening Of streets or the establishment Of
building lines was passed several years
ago. it has never on account OF lack Of
funds become operative. The money appli-
cable to the establishment of building lines
is from the same source as is applied to the
condemnation of minor streets and alleys
This fund is already insufficient to carry on
the condemnation of alleys, and an addition
al amount has been requested in this years
estimates. The establishment of building
lines on all the streets of Mount Pleasant
would cost something like $4,000 or $780,
co., and Mr.. Richards does not see that
any move can be made in that direction at
the present time. II the act ever becomes
operative he believes it would be generally
expected that people along the line Of a
street should take the Initiative toward its
widening through petition signed by a
majority of the property owners.
The association will be informed In ac-
cordance with the report.

DEMOCRATS BLOCK IT.
Effort of Senate Republicans for State
hood Fight Compromise.


The Senate republicans who have been en-
deavoring to negotiate compromise of the
statehood fight are not making gratifying
progress today. 1t had been hoped that a
compromise might be agreed upon which
could be submitted to the committee on
territories today, and could be brought in
by the committee a substitute for all
pending legislation on statehood.
1t has been impossible, however. thus far
to reach satisfactory agreement and the
statehood fight still hangs on. The trouble
Is that democratic acquiesence cannot be
obtained In the compromises that thus far
have been proposed.
The democrats find that they do not get
anything out of the deals which have been
presented. They complain that Senator
Quay and his colleagues, through the COM
promises, get all they want by the en-
hancement of the value of bonds through
double statehood, which would be the same
as through single statehood, and moreover
that they would stand the chance to have
the new states republican.
The democrats hope to get at least a
couple OF democratic senators in the deal
but nothing thus far presented holds out
promise to that end.
Efforts will be continued to reach a COM
promise between the republican factions
II united republican support could be OBJ
tanned for some measure 1t would probably
be offered. so that democratic opposition
could relieve the republicans of the charge
of having defaulted In their platform prom
ises TO the territories.
But even the republican factions have not
altogether agreed upon compromise. SEN
ator Quay has one alternative which will
be resorted to in case all other efforts fail
He will attempt to attach the statehood
Dill as rider to an appropriation bill.

WANT ALL OR NOTHING.
Relatives of Mrs. Charles Fair Will
Contest for Estate.

BOULDER. Col. February u.-Charies
j. Smith, half brother of Mrs. Charles
Fair, who. with her husband. was killed
In an automobile accident in France. says
that the compromise arranged between his
mother Mrs. Nelson, and Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt, sisters Of
Charles Fair. in disposition Of the estate OF
Mr. Fair will be reopened on the ground
that Mrs. Nelson was Influenced through
fraud and false representation into accept
ing the settlement. Mr. Smith asserts that
his mother was very i'll and in no con-
dition to transact business when she went
to San Francisco after her daughter s
death, and that 1t was falsely represented
to her that cablegrams had been received
to the effect that Mrs. Fair and her hus-
band died at the same time, whereas 1t is
known. Mr.. Smith declares that Mrs. FAR
lived thirty minutes after Mr.. Fair mad
passed away. -
Mr. Smith declared that the case would
be fought to the end. His family pro-
posed to have it's share Of the Fair estate
and all that Mrs. Charles Fair was entitled
to or nothing.
He announced his attention of applying
for 8 new appraisement of the estate. Mr..
Smith also said that the sale of certain
property in New York would be contested.
because Mrs. Fair did not join In the
transfer.
Mr.. Smith promises great surprises to
the other side when affidavitS are taken
from Mrs Fairs maid. the chauffeur. the
gatekeeper and others living at the house
where Mrs. Fair was taken after the ac-
cident are made public.

MAY ABOLISH A DIVISION.
Proposed Rearrangement Of Work In
the Pension Office.

Commissioner Of Pensions Ware said to-
day that tentative plans were being con-
sidered and might be adopted for abolishing
the middle division OF that bureau and
splitting the present old war and navy d.
visions. The new division, IL the action Is
decided on. will be In charge Of Mr.. tank
A Warfield. the present chief Of the middle.
Mr.. Warfield has made q high record in his
administration of the middle division and
has brought 1t to the front rank in the mat
ter of work accomplished. This work has
to do with three states. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Michigan, grouping Of states which
Commissioner Ware is inclined to think is
Illogical. The work has been brought closer
to date than that OF the other offlces, and
Col. Wares idea Is to distribute its per
sonnet among the other divisions to ex-
pedite the work elsewhere and at the same
time have a more logical distribution of
geographical Jurisdiction of the divisions.
this Jurisdiction to be given over to the
eastern and the western divisions. ~,
Owing to the recent activity of Congress-
In pension matters the work Of the bureau
has been largely increased and there Is a
variety of new classes of cases that must;
be dealt with by the new division which
MI. Warfleld Is to head.
Tht1hange. which II 1t should be adopted,
1Enl e. into effect about March 1, involves
no dtsAissals or reductions.

by the Smoke.

Fire was discovered shortly after =
o'clock this afternoon in the Erin lunch
room. corner of New Jersey avenue and u
street northwest The blaze originated In
the rafters between the ceiling and roof
over the lunch room and spread rapidly.
For time the large lumber yard of Thos.

partment responded promptly, with Chief
Dutton in charge. The flames were con-
fined to that building, and much of the
furniture of the lunch room was saved.
Adjoining the lunch room Is the wholesale
grocery store of Lehman Bros, but the
firemen succeeded in keeping the flames
out of it. Large damage will. however.
result from stock being drenched with
water, the grocery firm being the larger
losers. II. E. Scanlon is the proprietor OF
the lunch room and Charles Kennedy is the
owner Of the building.
An incident of the fire was the bursting
of a hose which drenched a large number
who were attracted to the scene. and
caused considerable excitement for a short
time.

Captain Sigsbee Will Probably Be As

Capt. Charles D. Sigsbee, who was In COM
mand of the battle ship Maine when she
was destroyed in the harbor of Havana in
the spring Of 1898, will probably be assigned
to duty as commandment Of the naval station
at Bremerton, Wash, as the successor OF
Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, who has been
ordered to command the Philippine squad
ron of the Asiatic fleet. 1t is expected that
Rear Admiral Stirling will haul down his
flag at the Puget Sound navy yard in about
a month and proceed to the Philippines on
the battle ship Wisconsin. which is to be
the flagship on that station. The Wisconsin
is now being fitted out at Puget Sound for
the long voyage across the Pacific.
Ordinarily an officer Of the grade Of rear
admiral would be assigned to the command
Of the Puget Sound station, but there Is no
officer OF that grade available at this time.
The department Is therefore considering the
assignment OF one Of the senior captains
