FOR HIGH PRESSURE
Business Men Want the Spe-
cial Fire Service.
MR.. w. 81. MOSES VIEWS
THE PROPOSED INSTALLATION
WOULD BE ECONOMICAL.
Washington Threatened With s'Pink
Slip" Meaning an Increase
Of Insurance Rates.

The business men of Washington are
hopeful that Congress will adopt the propo-
sition which Is about to be made by the
Commissioners to the Senate committee
on appropriations to appropriate $750,OO0
for the installation of high-pressure fire
service for the downtown section of this
city The Commissioners expect to address
the committee in few days on the District
BILL and they will point in this connection
to the fact that the owners of the large
establishments in the heart Of the city are
advocates of this system of fire-fghting.
Mr.. w. H. Moses is one of those who has
made study Of this question. and hopes
to see the appropriation made at the pres
ent session of Congress. He said today to
a Star reporter:
Washington city is threatened with a
similar confiasration to the one which has
just visited the city of Baltimore, from the
fact that our fire apparatus Is all out of
proportion to the size of the city and that
our water supply Is inadequate for a large
fire.
Only One Big Fire at Once.
Our fire chief. Mr.. Belt. states that in
the event Of a fire of any size at the corner
of 7th street and Market space, or any
business locality. and another fire occur
ring in another business section of the city
at the same time, the latter would have to
be let burn itself out, as his fire-fighting
apparatus is hardly sufficient to take care
of one large fire.
I'VE are now threatened by the board of
underwriters with what is known among
insurance men as pink Slip which
means that our present rates will be a6-
yanced 25 per cent on account of insuffi-
cient water supply in the event of fire.
This pink slip was served on the Phila-
delphia people, and they were compelled to
pay this excessive rate of fire insurance
fync cfnl Had vh.A
high-pressure water system
Why the Estimate Was Raised.
"On June 80. 1902 the report of the Dis
trIct Commissioners contained the recon-
niendaton for a high pressure water sys-
tenn for this city. with an itemized state
ment of its cost At that time they recon-
mended 1T to Congress and were refused.
The cost of this additional fire protection
is now estimated by the Commissioners fo
be $1.'o,uO0. The estimate in 1902 was less.
owing to the fact that iron was sic then
and lis now $50.
THE system contemplates running &C.
inch main from Fort Reno reservoir into
the city and making 90 16 and 1o-inch
branches through the different streets fron.
this main, installing 200 fire plugs. which
vii, cover an area from 1st street to nth
street and from Pennsylvania avenue to
I street. thus protecting the principal gov
crnment buildings, as well as the business
section OF the town, with what is equivalent
to standing force of steam fire engines of
probably 100, or force of thirty steam
fire engines. with pressure sufficient Al
Evening star., 1904-03-17

Gas stated above, the cost of this I'M
provement will be $75000O. The present
ffre-fghting force of Washington is four
teen engines The board of fire underwrit-
ers require that such cities as this will
have one fire engine to every 10000 popula-
ton for sufficient fire protection; therefore
we should have twenty-eight engines. If
we were given fourteen fire engines which
we have right to demand. and then our
equipment of fire engines increased in pro-
portion as our population increases, 1t can
readily be seen by mental arithmetic that
the interest on the $750O0 investment will
amount to a very large percentage by the
saving in purchase of fire engines
Some might be led to inquire, What will
become of the present force of fire engines.

tected by the high pressure water sys-

A POWER ON THE THRONE.
Japan's Mikado is More Than an Ori
entail Figurehead.

Japan's Mikado is More Than an Ori-
entail Figurehead.
From the Kansas City Star.
Comparatively few foreigners have seen
the Mikado of Japan closely. In spite of
its wonderful advance in occidental ideas
in recent years. Japan retains enough of its
orientalism to insist upon a certain seclu-
sion for its ruler. Mutsuhito breaks away
from his purely oriental environment occa-
sionally He goes among his people incog-
nito. While strolling through the streets
of Tokyo as a young man attired as a
common Japanese sailor, Mutsuhito en-
countered the first American he had ever
seen. Walking boldly up to this son of
Uncle Sam. the boy emperor introduced
himself as young sailor, and finding the
American could speak a little Japanese he
poured forth Hood of eager questions
The traveller from the United States tod
the supposed sailor wonderful tale of the
results of American civilization. The i'm
perial ambition received new stimulus, and
that interview with an American accom-
plished much for Japan
Mutsuhito-tenwo Emperor of Japan ia
the present representative of the Oldest
royal dynasty extant. He is the 1aIst en-
peror of his dynasty, which dates back in
an unbroken line 2 500 years. He is the di-
rect descendant of Ginmu the s.liyine Com
gueror," who. according to Japanese myth
ology. descended from heaven on the
white bird of the clouds" Ginmu's first
task in his NEUROLOGICAL role of divine con-
queror, was the subjugation of the Amos,
a savage, warlike race, whose descendants
are stlll found in the northern extremity
or Japan. Having subdued these fierce
Amos. Ginmu proclaimed himself to he
Tenshi." the Son of Heaven" and estab-
hshed the still existing dynasty in 6G0 b.
e 1t Is no exaggeration, therefore. to say
that through the veins of Mutsuhito- tenwo
flows the very bluest of blue blood. "
personally the emperor has a pleasant
appearance. He Is very tall for Japanese.
almost six feet He is muscular and well
proportioned. He has broad high fore
head. and. judged by the most exacting
standard of manly beauty he is a hand
some sovereign. The mikado takes more in
terest in the government than any of his
predecessors. He reads the papers and at
tends cabinet councils. He takes all the
important American and English maga-
zines. He has astonished the upper classes
OF Japanese by knowing something about
the government of his people
The mikado lives in palace built in the
American way, with steel framework made
In Pittsburg, Pa. This was done to avoid
accidents by earthquakes. so common in
Japan. Haruko. Empress of Japan, was a
daughter of Japanese noble. She is fifty
-FOUR years old, two years older than her
husband. Her name, Haruko, means
spring time" In the mikado's reign the
bands of feudalism that bound Japan to
the middle ages were broken; constitution
