FlREPROOF THEATERS

The easiest way to protect theaters
from fire Is to make them fireproof. AS
rIle fre-fighting appliances are or
not much value unless there is body
of trained firemen on hand to direct
them. The ordinary employe, however
carefully instructed on what to do In
an emergency, gets panic stricken and
runs with the rest. He does not feel
that he has any call to risk his life for
another mans property. OF all the
hotels in Sal- Francisco few years
ago the Baldwin-with theater attach
ed-probably had the most numerous
and most ingenious devices for putting
out fires. The tower could be turned
into sprinkling pot; there was way
to shood the roo chemical apparatus
and attached hose We're on all floors
each room had a heat alarm: there
were watchmen galore. Yet when the
fire broke out 1t was every man for
himself. In a theater the first thought
of the actors and men behind the
scenes is to get away from the COM
bustibles all about them and the first
thought of the audience, knowing that
death threatens, Is to reach the safety
of the street. II there were n few
resolute employees in the front of the
house. who tried to stem the human
tide and get at the fire apparatus they
couldn't do it.
Obviously If there were nothing in n
theater to catch fire there would be no
panics and no trouble. On the stage,
as has lately been pointed out ropes,
scenery, curtains, flooring, scaffolding
and the like may be treated with chem
icals which would make them proof
against anything less than confiagra-
ton breaking in from the outside.
There may be asbestos scenery as we'll
as asbestos curtains. BY fully pro-
tecting the stage, not so much fire
proofing would be needed in the audi
tory, though the general structure of
the theater should be as noncom-
bustible as iron, brick, tiles and steel
and the use of asbestos paint could
make 1t.
From the looks of things such thea
tiers will hereafter be required in Chi
cago. II established there, the people
will soon demand them elsewhere.

Joseph Chamberlain will have to sue
coed quickly, if at all. Though the man
of the hour in Great Britain he is in
this country, most political leaders
cease to lead. But lately Andrew d.
White retired from diplomatic post
because he had reached three score
years and ten. Fancy him starting out
now to lead a new political crusade and
make himself the master of a great
party.

The favor with which the name Of
Captain Samuel Johnson has been re-
ceived by the public in connection with
the office of Road Supervisor is es-
pecially marked among the taxpayers.
Capt. Johnson, as head of the garbage
bureau, has not only done his work
thoroughly but he has made, during the
past year, a saving of $4,000 in the pub
lie feed bill. Incidentally he has found
time to make his company of local
troops the best in the National Guard
and to render valuable services to the
Republican party in the fifth precinct
of the Fourth District, As Road SUI
pervisor Capt. Johnson may be trusted
to stop all graft. to attend to business
and to put and keep the highways in
as good condition as the money re-
sources of the Territory will permit.
II 1t is possible, in the interests of
economy, TO combine his present bu-
reau with the proposed one-makins
garbage and road supervision go to-
gether-the arrangement would be
ideal.

Japanese keep up a sniping fire and
render the work of relief difficult and
dangerous.
The continual vigilance Of the COM
batants, and especially the serious ac-
ceptance by the Japanese army of the
Russian advance, promises further
fighting, although there has been al
ready ten days of unprecedented and
exhaustive conflict. The japanese have
been alternately testing the Russian
Russians in a reonotonous and bitter
day to day resistance on the line of
contact. The Japanese apparently
feared that the Russian advance would
develop superior force of reserves.
The duration of the contest already
exceeds by several days the common
prophecies, as it was believed that
neither side was capable of such ex-
penditure of men and munitions, which

great Manchurian road.
Cossacks brought in captured guns
and japanese wounded prisoners on
October II. Russian soldiers surround
ed the prisoners and save them bread
and water and in other ways tried TO
relieve their wants.
News has just been received that the
japanese left flank has been driven
back with heavy loss and its retreat
cut off, a Russian regiment is now be-
Ing hurried TO the scene in the hope
OF completing the rout.
The fighting on Monday was con-
fined TO the Russian center at Shakhe
river, and was mostly artillery fire, the
japanese using big guns and high ex-
plosive shells. During the days of
continuous fighting the losses were
never less than 1000 per day. The hos
pitals are hardly able to handle the
wounded. Nevertheless they have per-
formed wonders.
The Chinese have deserted all the
villages, and the troops are using the
woodwork of their houses for fuel. The
country south is desolated. The Japa-
nese still seem to be exerting them
selves to force the Russians out of
Mukden. A battle is assured in the DO
sitons surrounding the town.
1t becomes more and more evident
that the resources of the country can
not support a large army. This sea-
sons crops are spoiled
General Kuropatkin remains with
the troops, having abandoned his head
quarters at Mukden.
AS this dispatch is filed (Tuesday
EVENING" the Russians are retaining the
ground gained at the Shakhe river.
Several Maxim guns have been cap
tured. The firing ceased after dark
yesterday.
Lone Tree Hill, won by the Russians
after desperate struggle, was the OBJ
1ect of a gallant unsuccessful attempt
at recapture by the japanese. In spite
Of the awful slaughter with which
they had been driven from the hill.
the Japanese returned to the charge

nizing that the hill was the key to the
position on the southwest front. Nine
regiments participated, creeping ND
through the night and delivering a
furious assault at dawn. But the hiI
had been bought too dearly by the Rus

slaughter

st. Petersburg has been cheered by
the report that General Kuropatlxin
has resumed the offensive and by the
news Of the defeat of the Japanese

resented to be the key to the position

ing armies. If the report of the advance
is authentic, and the Russians have
crossed to the south side of the Shakhe

have produced conditions seriously
