NEw-YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE. MONDAY SEPTEMBER 1901

the committee is the necessity for suitably
shielding the metal columns, floor beams and
other steel and iron members of a modern
structure. The committee affirms in positive
terms that nothing serves so effectively as well
burned brick. laid in cement mortar. Hollow
tile lack stability; they do not stay in place;
they are also percephby affected by severe
heat. Plaster blocks are pronounced inferior TO
terra Gotta Hollow tile proved unsatisfactory
for floor arches in Baltimore for variety of
reasons. Sometimes the arches had too wide
a span to insure strength Sometimes they
were not properly overlaid with cement. Often
the lower layer of the tile-technically known
as the web-woud break under intense heat
and thus weaken the rest of the tile. Almost
invariably the lower f1anges of the I-beams in
the floors showed that they had been made
quately protected. One form of covering failed
because it was held by exposed metal clips.
Another proved defective because the skew
backs-projections from the adjacent arch tile
broke and released their burden. On the
whole, for arch construction cement seemed
to stand up weII," although it was not extern
siveIy used in Baltimore.
For exterior walls those in front and rear,
nothing has been found that is comparable with
good brick. Stone suffers much more from fire.
On the sides, also, the walls should be of brick.
and thick enough TO stand alone If the ad-
joining buildings collapse. Even In partitions
terra Gotta. plaster blocks and metal lath
proved unsatisfactory. The committee quail
fed its disapproval by limiting the same to
the present methods of employing these ma
terials. The best type of partition tested in
the Baltimore fire one composed OF i've
inch tile but the latter usually became loos-
ened, and hence ceased to do much good. The
significance of this part of the report Is en-
HANGED by an additional comment of the COM
mittee relative to the proper subdivision OF
large floor spaces, like those in department
store. 1t declares that without sufficient num-
Der of interior barriers the contents of fire
resistive' building are scarcely safer than in
one of the most careless construction.
In the formulation of its report, the COM
mittee of the National Fire Protection Associa-
ton has rendered an important service to the
country

DEFYING THE FLAMES.

One Of the standing committees Of the Ma
tonal Fire Protection Association devotes its
attention to those features of construction which
are best designed TO check the progress of a
conhagration. Immediately after the Baltimore
disaster of February last this committee en-
tered upon an elaborate investigation of the
damaged property. with a view to obtaining
such fresh information as might be afford
ed thereby. II was hoped that report
would be ready In the spring or early summer
For some reason its appearance was delayed
much longer. The document was distributed
only few days ago In spite OF its tardlness

mense value to insurance men. architects own

officials who have occasion 10 study the es

committee was composed of twelve well known
experts, and in the performance of this special
task had the assistance of four others So au

To throw n glance at that most typical OF
truly Democratic States. Mississippi, where the
rhetorical arts of Colonel Watterson. as dis
PLAYED at the Democratic editors dinner, in
abuse of President Roosevelt, are raised to the
Nth power
Mississippi has had none but virtuous Demo
cratic rule 10! these many years. 1T is truly
Jeffersonan It shows the beauties of Democ-
racy when really worked out, untainted by
contact with the evils of Republicanism. One
of those beauties is the working out of the
Treasury, until at present it contains 81 90,
and according 10 the dispatches there is no
relief in sight The bankers OF the State, it
is said, are unwilling to advance money for
the immediate needs of the government such
is their lack of confidence in Democracy pure
and undcfIed and it looks as if the Mississippi
officials would have TO go hungry for several
months until more taxes arc due.
Mississippi is well known as the happy hunt
ing ground Of lynchers, and 1t has prohibi-
ton law which, according to The Boston
Transcript" is everywhere treated with con-
tempt. OF course, Mississippi is a small State.
and we do not mean TO suggest that Democ-
racy everywhere works the same way. But
nowhere else is Democratic doctrine more
strongly and sincerely held, and it is interest
ing 70 observe the devotion of these true Demo
crafs 10 law and wise finance when left TO
themselves. The issues of "lawlessness" and
economy as preached by Judge Parker must
be deeply appreciated hy his Mississippi breth-
rem who follow the lead of Governor Varda-
man.

Nothing has been heard Of late OF the Dodge
divorce case. which was so much talked about
several months ago. Dodge himself was ac-
cused of perjury and fed to Texas. Later he
tried to escape to Mexico. The District Attor-
neys office sent detectives TO the Lone Star
State. and these detectives spent money like
water. After they had used up thousands of dol
lars OF the contingent fund OF the public prose-
cutor. an application was made to the Board
OF Estimate and Apportionment for a special
grant. That board graciously appropriated
$4,000. The taxpayers have right 10 ask

quire whether or not Mr.. Jerome has forgotten
