Mr.. Charles Hawtrey does not share
the American admiration and respect
for Columbus. Proof of this is found in
story which has just come to hand ex-
pressive of theEnglishman's awakening
to the immensely OF the United States.
During his recent American ,our Mr..
Hawtrey was strongly impressed by
the long journey between New York
and San Francisco. One night in the
smoking room Of the Pullman car con-
versation turned on Columbus. A
loquacious commercial traveller empha-
sized his opinion that all good Amer
leans owed an everlasting debt of graf
itude TO the discoverer OF this coun ny.
This brought Mr.. Hawtrey out of his
corner with an emphatic gesture.
Gratitude! Gratitude for discover
ing place of this sizel he exclaimed

New York, Jan. Last March
the late Pope Leo XIII. then 80 years
old, consented to have his voice re-
corded by a monograph. Some time
before he had been photographed by
one of the moving picture" machines.
The monograph record was taken as
he was intoning the apostolic bene-
diction, with the responses by the Sis
tine choir, and reciting the Ave
Maria
These reproductions of the late
pontiff' s voice were heard in this coun-

Arthur Stringer has prepared a recipe

in verse and can easily be remembered, SO
that the literary aspirant should have no
trouble in turning out the real thing after
committing the rule and devoting a little
time and some cheap paper to practice.
Why wouldn't it be a good plan for some
compiler to get together the numerous
published recipes for various kinds of lit

Possibly on account of the prevail.

Tt is rather discouraging, therefore,
to read an article in the New York

Placing the Blame.

AS issusual, after every great calam-
ity, an effort is now being made to
place the responsibility for the awful
theater disaster in Chicago. The love
Of the definite makes everybody de-
sire to be able to say that such and
such persons and such and such
structural arrangements or their abb
sence were responsible for the dis
aster.
Already the searching scrutiny. Of
hundreds of Investigators has re-
vealed certain concrete causes that
contributed to the death Of 500 peo-
pie. There was carelessness In the
/ cause of the fire. There was negli-
gence behind the hand fire apparatus
curtain that would not descend. There
was stupidity in not throwing all the
exits open at the first warning Of fire.
There was criminal negligence in con-
structing narrow exits, there was
Eequally culpable negligence in not
having the exits plainly marked and
the fire escapes completed. There
was violation of the law in having
seats where. there should be aisles.
Yet, after all is said and, done, we
| are told that the Iroquoist was the
safest theater in Chicago. Giving the
and granting that a panic seizes a
crowd, no theater ever constructed
was SO arranged that the peop1e.could
get out without injuring or killing
each other in the rush. Doubtless,
I tho, theaters can be constructed with
enough exits, aisles and emergency
arrangements to reduce the possible
proportion of deaths from the crush
to q much lower point than that Of
the Iroquois disaster. -
& The. inquiry may; show that this
that or the other person was respon-
siblestn some degree for the. Iroquc,is
disaster, but back of them all stands
, the public itself, which does not de-
| mand sufficiently protective ordi.
nances regarding the construction so1
) such buildings or does not, insist upor
: their enforcement to the letter.
= One good result Of the appalling
} disaster in Chicago will be the over
q flauling Of ordinances relating to the
l aters and stiffening up of their en-
!. forcement. Already reports of quick
$ ened interest in such matters ar
heard from such widely separated
] points as Minneapolis and Berlin.
The proprietors Of the Iroquois theate

The presumption is probably fair one

The presumption is probably a fair one
that those Minneapolis aldermen who re-
Gently acquiesced in the violation Of the
building ordinance as to the construction
of theaters are. not now deriving. very
much satisfaction from the official record

enough to defeat every. one of them for
reelection to drag the record of that vote
to light, and expose it to the public. Il
