CONTROL OF WEALTH.

PierpOnt Morgan'S epigramS. or those
which are attributed to him. gain
weight from his Importance. Now
comes the dicturn that never ia history
has money been less punched than 1t
is at present. Following so closely up
trolled the most extensive enterprises,
and hence largely the course Of Ameri-
can industry. Mr.. A1organ's opinion
arouses question. The complaint that
money was concentrated and too pow
erful for justice or the greatest well
fare has always existed. No private
individual ever controlled as much in
dustry, proba bly,. as John d. Rockefel-
Ter. but. on the other hand. what he
can do with his money is as nothing
compared with what Croesus could do
with his in his day. Here is where Mr..
Morgan's aphOriSm shows it's truth.
Wealth has increased inlmea Sura bly,.
and the ordinary citizen now has
enough to give him privileges which
makes him forceful. When it is said
that. although wealth has become more
distributed. control is becoming more
central. some Juggling is performed
with the word control. Control tends
every day to become less absolute: it
tends more toward mere influence. Mr..
Morgan's own career Eliminates this
distinction. His power rises and falls
with his use Of it and with popular
cenSure or approval

CHICAGO AND THE THEATERS.

OVERRIDING is very nearly as bad as
with reforms. Chicago seems to be
guilty of the offense in its spasmOdic
course consequent upon the IrOQuOis
disaster.
The city council has passed an Or
dinance which is practically prohibitive.
since it provides for a system of gal
lery and balcony entrances which cam
not be executed within some of the
theaters and involves the reconstruct
ton of others.
Steel fire curtains. smoke vents over
stage fire proof scenery. automatic
sprinklers and fire drills are called for.
The bulk of evidence is to the effect
that asbestos curtains, if genuine and
of sufficient thickness are better than
steel ones. SprinklerS are of doubtful
value. FireprOof scenery is desirable.
Smoke vents. fire drills. wide aisles
and enough exits are absolutely neces-
Sary.
But the whole question, upon analy-
sis, will resolve itself into a matter of
the curtain and of the exits. Theatre
cal managers can reasonably be COM
PEELED to pat in any curtain which may
be deemed the best. SO the ultimate
problem is: How many exits are ne
cesSary?
The Chicago horror was largely due
10 the fact that the fire curtain did not
work and that many of the exits were

DAMAGE DONE BY
THE HOTEL FIRE

Further investigation of the acct
the Hawaiian Hotel last Saturday aft
ernoon by the painters engaged at
work there shows only a few hundred
dollars OF actual fire damage, but
quite a considerable water damage to
plaster ceilings, carpets, furniture,
ETC., principally in the mauka section
of the upper floors, which were flood
ed by the streams of water from the
fire engines. There is also said to be
more or less damage done to the cleo,
trio wires and chandeliers, as the
spaces between some of the floors and
ceilings were inundated and water
poured through them into the floors
below.
The electrician last night was ob1ig-
ed to cut all the wires connecting with
the feed wires, that were found satur-
ated with water, which left one sec
ton of the house in darkness Saturday
night and last night. These wires will
probably have to be replaced.
The solid concrete walls, which run
from the basement to the rafters of
the roof, like the veranda fire of two
years ago, prevented the spread of the
fire, and was an effectual barrier, and
always will be against any fires from
the verandas, or outside agencies,
communicating with the roof or the
interior of the main building.
Col. Macfarlane said yesterday
morning to an Advertiser reporter,
that it was remarkable that the Ha-
wa4ian Hotel, during the twenty or
more years he had been connected
with the ownership, had never made
a claim against the insurance compa-
MES for fire, and he was very 10th to
break the record this time.

London, July ls--In British official

and the cabinet today Is considering the

The British law officers acknowledge

communications are taken. but they take
the most serious view OF the status Of the
two Russian ships patrolling the Red sea,

sues II MIL -he-chiehy- in regard TO tho
passage Of these erstwhile merchant ships

situation are much commented upon In

and irregular character OF the volunteer
