Railway Systems to Prevent Sale of
Exposition Ticket Coupons.

1t is understood the officials of the south
ern lines and the systems operating be-
tween the southeast and Chicago. Cincin-
natl and ST. Louis, in conference today at
the general offices of the Southern Railway
Company. in this city, will take steps to

ana purchase exposition. in St Louis. of
the return coupons Of excursion tickets.
Several of the officials who were seen today
have worked up various plans in connec-
ton with the railroad transportation to
the exposition. The majority of these plans
are designed against the existence of the
alleged "unscrupulous ticket scalper." The
primary purpose of the conference is to
agree upon the special train service, sehed
ules etc. for the winter transportation be-
tween New Orleans, ST. Augustine and
other southern points, and Chicago and the
eastern cities.
Those present at the conference include

Fire Escape Law.
"Reference is made to the defects of the
present fire escape law. which has been de-
pended upon or.requinng means Of saving
life in case of fire or panic and has been
applied in as practical way as possible.
All buildings mentioned in the act and re-
curing licenses have been inspected annu-
ally, and pending the approval of applica-
ton for license, have been in technical
compliance with the law. though never. in
most cases, effectually provided with proper
safety appliances.
Frequency Of Accidents.
Mr.. Ashford refers to the frequency of
accidents in the use of derricks and scat
folds, and the lack of precautions of safety
of workmen on buildings. and stated that
the accidents of the past year, resulting
fatally in several cases, seem to demand
the attention of the office. He requests
that an inspector. experienced in the use
and construction of hoisting machinery and
scaffolds, be added to the Office force to at
tend to this matter.
The report states that one additional

computer has entered upon his duties in
the office. during the year, and it is recon-
mended that the salary of the service COM
puter in service be raised to 81 500 per
year. The building inspector also requests
that his Office be provided with a perma-
nent draughtsman.
The cost per cubic foot of the buildings
for the municipal government, constructed
under the supervision of the building in
spector's office shows that the increase of
cost since 1897, when they were erected at
cents per cubic foot, amounts to over 50
per cent more than formerly. This increase
is accounted for by the advance in building
material, increased cost of labor, use of
more expensive plumbing ana heating sys-
TENS, and more ornate architectural treat
ment of exteriors since the plans have been
made by the architects of the city.
Mr.. Ashford recommends the approval of
regulations relative to numbering houses in
subdivisions.

The Assistant Inspectors.

Continuing. he says:
1.-The report of the assistant inspectors
for elevators and fire escapes shows that
they should be relieved of all duties not
placed under their care by the title of their
office and the intent of the law. They
might properly inspect all elevators in
the District at least once IN three months.
provided their time was not encroached
upon for miscellaneous duties, such as in
spection Of heating apparatus, installation
of gasoline tanks and locating of power
boilers, etc. l would also invite your at
tentiOn to the suggestion thar operators OF
elevators should lie examined to their
qualifications, and most heartily concur in
the recommendation that board of exam
iners be appointed to pass upon the fitness
of operators and issue licenses or certif-
Gates to proper persons under regulations
approved by the Commissioners.
Il would here suggest that new assist
ant be provided, whose duties shall be the
inspection Of heating apparatus, location OF
gasoline tanks and boilers, frequent and
between time inspection Of hotels, theaters
and buildings of like character, and all the
miscellaneous work now imposed on the
elevator inspectors. At present there are
many owners tenants who seem utterly
ignorant careless of the dangers at
tending an improperly kept elevator, and
who actually obstruct the inspectors in
the performance of their very responsible
and necessary duties. Competent opera
tors would assist in keeping the Office in
formed and would save the owners much
outlay for repairs and liabilities for dam
ages for neglect of regulations. While
the present regulations provide for prosecu-
ton for failure to comply with their terms.
the loss of time consumed in such cases is
a severe penalty on the inspector.
Several fatal accidents have resulted in
the past year from the operation or man.
agement of elevators, not from mechanical
defect. and ] especially recommend the
adoption of the suggestion that operators
be examined as to their qualifications. The
person operating an automobile is required
| to pass examination, but the elevator
operator seems to be selected according to
the terms made with the owner, and In

SUICIDES ON BLUE MONDAY"
Coed Reason for Housewives BEING in
Bad Spirits.

Coed Reason for Housewives Being in
Bad Spirits.
A scientist who has made study of
suicides has discovered that more wo-
men commit suicide on Monday than
on any other day OF the week.
Monday, Blue Monday" as it has
long been called, is one of the most
trying days Of the week for women
who are housewives. principally be
cause ii is "washday." Breakfast is
usually served earlier than on other
days and more hastily prepared. The
children are early hurried of to school
and dinner is often picked up" blue
Monday" is the one day in the week
when housewives troubles, hard
work, and annoyances seem to come
all at once. Hence the significant
name for the first working day OF the
week
