HOUSE MANAGERS
CRACK THE "WH|P"
Adjournment Is Expected April
28 and Tawney Urges Fuller
Attendance,

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 15.-
The non-attendance of Republican
members of the house in what are
considered the closing days Of the ses-
sion is causing some vexation to the
managers Of that body. A circular was
mailed tonight to the Republican MEM
bership signed by Representative
Tawney, the Republican whip and
issued at the request of Speaker Can
non, calling attention to the necessity
of attending to business. The leaders
today predicted that April % will be
the day Of adjournment, and they are
bending every effort to carry out this
plan. The circular reads:
At the request of the speaker write to
inform you that, although we have a
Republican membership Of 209 in this
congress, we have not during the last
week or ten days been able to secure
the attendance on roll call Of $50 Re-
publican members. Every effort has been
made to secure the return to the city
and the attendance Of absentees but
without success. From now on until the
close of the session conference reports
and other measures Of Importance will
come up in the house for consideration at
any time. There will be numerous roll
calls, and we may expect at any time,
on some of these matters, to encounter
determined opposition from the other
side, When, if they can secure a full at
tendance of their members, they will be
able to out-vote ua.
l sincerely hope, therefore, that you
Will make every effort possible to at
tend the sessions of the house, remaining
throughout the session, or at least re-
naming in the capitol where you can be
called either by messenger or by com
Iilttee beI. A full attendance on our
side is not only necessary for the trans
action of the unfinished business of this
session, but would enable the house to per-
form what 1t has to do in much less time.

HERO FUND GOING
Puts Aside Five Million Dollars
as a Reward of Daring
Endeayor.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 15.-It was
made known here today that Andrew
Carnegie has created fund of SIS, ,000,-
600 for the benefit of ''the dependents
of those losing their lives in heroic eff
fort to save their fellow men, or for
the heroes themselves if injured only"
Provision is also made for medals to
be given in commemoration of heroic
acts.
The endowment is to be known as
the hero fund.-" and consists of 5,O00,-
600 of first collateral per cent bonds
of the United States Steel corporation.
The trust is placed in the hands of a
commission composed of w. l.. Alb

The scheme was conceived by Mr.
Carnegie Immediately after the Har-
wick mine disaster, when he summons
ed to New York and consulted Charles
L. Taylor, chairman, and F. M. Will

relief fund. On March IL, just before
his departure for Europe, Mr.. Carne-

RUSSIAN CHURCH SAVES
JEWS BY INTERVENTION
Influence of That institution Is Exerted in Bessarabia
as Never Before in Its HistOryBishop Cites to the
People Proof of the Hebrews Patriotism and Pre-
vents Another Kishenev Massacre.

ST. PETERSBURG, April Is. - It
has just developed that the powerful
influence of the church was used in
Bessarabia to prevent trouble between
Christians and Jews. For the first
time, so far as known, the church
stepped in to avert another Kishenev
affair.
Before Easter the governor of Bes-
sarabia, Prince Ourusoff, called the
attention of Bishop Yakoff, of Kishe-
nev, to the malicious reports spread
among the people that the Jews were
collecting and sending money to aid
Japan. The governor declared the ru-
mOrS absurd.
From the beginning of the war the
Jews in Bessarabia, like the rest of the
population, had shown their readiness
to serve their fatherland, which was

MOUNTAIN LAKE
BURSTS IN CALIFORNIA
It Starts Immense AvaIanches That

HORNBROOK, Cal, April 15.-Im-
mense avalanches are being caused
here by the bursting Of a mountain
lake and the Southern Pacific tracks
of the Oregon and California divisions
of the Southern Pacific are covered
with mud and rocks for a great dis
tance. The slide is considered the
worst in recent history and probably
will delay traffic forty eight hours at
the least. Ten trains are stalled as
result of the slide and fully 900 pas
sengers are on the ground
REDDING, Cal, April 15.-The
blockade on the Southern Pacific,
caused by a landslide in the Siskiyou
mountains, was lifted this afternoon,

expressed in their declarations of 10y
atty to the throne and their donations
to the sick and wounded. This was
pointed out by the governor, who
urged the bishop to direct his clergy
to communicate the facts to the peo-
pie. The bishop Immediately in
structed all the priests of his diocese
to explain on every convenient Occa-
sion the loyalty and patriotism of the
Jews, and to point out that reports to
the contrary were false, adding that
he should be informed Of all cases
where enmity was displayed toward
the Jews
In st. Petersburg this order is re-
garded as an extraordinary precedent,
which is bound to influence the future
relations of the Christians and the
Jews.

II the standard of operation OF
American railways could be brought
to the perfection Of the Union Pacific
system for the past two months, the
long list of disasters for the year just
closing would never again be repeat
ed, says the Denver Times. Reports
based IN the system of signal tests
prevailing on the Union Pacific show
that in that time the efficiency of the
Colorado division as well as the re-
mainder of the system was 100 per
cent.
By the creation mt enforcement of
strict discipline such as these signal
tests impose, the casualties of Ameri-
can railways could be reduced more
than a half.
The tests are conducted each month
to determine the watchfulness of en-
ployes along the entire line and are
under the direction of the different
superintendent. They reveal at the

When a test is on employees are in
the lark as to whether a signal is act
ually intended for them or whether a
test of their efficiency is being made,
but they have learned enough to take
no chances. and when they find a sig
nal wrong they at once make known
their discovery and avoid having a
r.ark against themselves.

SOLD At AUCTION At DENVER
YESTERDAY FOR LITTLE.
international Trust Company, Trustee
for Holders Of Bonds Of North
American Copper Company, Dis
poses Of Thousands Of Shares Of
Stock Floated by Emerson.

Willis George Emerson, poet, author
and town builder, this morning allowed
practically the entire town of Encamp-
ment, Wyo., to escape through his
fingers and saw the stock of companies
which he had organized in his palmy
days sold for a small figure to Penn
sylvania capitalists, says the Denver
Times.
Emerson was for years a striking
figure in Wyoming life and Denver
saw not a little of him After the pub
LEGATION of a literary work which won
fame and fortune for him, he bent his
energies on town building, and within
the course of a few years put Encamp-
ment on its feet and had the controll-
ing interest in all the public utility cor
p%orations. Aside from this, he was
operating the famous Ferris Haggarty
mining property, an adjunct of which
was the Encampment Smelling ON
company and the E~ncampment Pipe
Line Ditch company, as well as the
Carbonate Coal company, were set IN
foot by Emerson. For a time all of
these companies saw prosperity and
bonds were floated to the amoun Of
81, 0 5000. Encampment's popularity
was short-lived, and there was found
to be not enough work there for the
crowds who %thronged, seeking homes.
Gradually the crowds left. and o o
Emerson's companies awoke to the
fact that they were on the wane.
Later the bonds defaulted in interest,
and this morning the International
Trust company, trustee for the hold
ers of the bonds of the North Amer
lean Copper company, which was mere
ly a holding company for all the Emer-
son interests, sold at auction thousands
OF shares of the stock floated originally
by Emerson.
There were half a dozen prospective
purchasers at the offices of the trust
company on Seventeenth street this
morning, but the stock went to a Penn
sylvania concern, which prefers to re-
main unknown. F. B. Gibson, vice
president of the International Trust
company. declined to state for what
amount the transfer had been made,
but said hat it was a nominal figure,
as most of the stock had been pre-
viously bonded and that today's sale
represented little more than equities.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

In his annual message Governor Odell recurs
TO a subject to which he has earnestly invited
the attention Of previous legislatures, but with
out practical results. we regret TO say. The
evils which the customary food Of special DIS
produces are generally acknowledged, but little
has been done in this State toward curing them
During the last ten years the average number
q general acts added to the huge body or laws
has been about two hundred and fifty, and or
special acts about six hundred. and 1t is fair
presumption that the legislative output will IN
crease with the growth OF population unless an
effective method OF curtailing it is applied. or
course some private and local bills must De
passed, but there is no sufficient reason for
keeping up the present rate of production IN
definitely.
The practice Of applying to the legislature for
all sorts of minor enactments has various IN
fortunate consequences 1t entails waste OF
time and energy, is favorable to the success OF
corrupt or undesirable schemes, forbids careful
and Intelligent treatment in ma jority Of cases
and puts a premium on logrollng Such bills
commonly relate TO interests with which super
visors and other local authorities are entirely
competent to deal. So long as they are left TO
the legislature the citizens whom they directly
concern are likely to be Ill served. When we
add to that consideration the indisputable fact
that the existing system lengthens every ses-
sion. absorbs time which Senators and Assem-
blymen ought TO be free 10 devote TO matters or
general Importance and needlessly expands the
swollen mass of statutes, the argument for
abandoning the old way Of doing things appears
conclusive.
New-Jersey used to suffer from this evil as
much. perhaps, as New-York, but there
remedy was found and employed, chiefly
through the efforts OF Governor Griggs Now
adays the number of special bills passed in
that State is less than one-tenth as large as it
was formerly. and nobody pretends to think
that any legitimate interest has been harmed.
There is no reason except Indifference or In
ertia, why our legislature should not by means
Of general statutes empower local authorities
TO look after many local requirements which
are now referred to Albany. with a consider
able chance OF wrong to the communities i'm
mediately affected, since they may fail to get
what they need, or, on the other hand, may get
what they have never wanted.

4 puRLIo SAFETY CONFUSION.

Divided authority and responsibility have
been element Of difficulty in dealing with the
problem Of safeguarding theatre audiences since
the question was brought to an acute stage by
the Iroquois disaster in Chicago. The Health
Commissioner looks after this feature, the Po-
lice Commissioner after that, the Fire Commits
sioner after another, and so on.
Capitalization of authority and responsibility
is desirable in this as in every other depart
ment Of municipal activity. This, it would
seem, might be obtained by the creation of
commission on places Of public assemblage. 1t
could be largely eX officio, made up Of the heads
of the city departments to whom public pro-
lection In various forms is regularly intrusted.
or their representatives. To these might be
added an architect, builder and an expert IN
fireproo1ng or some allied calling
This commission could readily have assigned
to its service n regular and permanent corps of
inspectors chosen from the various departments
of public safety and made responsible to and
subject TO the command Of a chief inspector.
precedent for such commission is found
in the Municipal Explosives Commission Gre
ated by Mayor Low after the Murray Hill
subway explosion. This was established with
out legislation either in the form Of statute or
ordinance and we believe public safety COM
mission could be appointed in the same way
This plan is put forth merely a suggestion
for the solution Of q problem which demands
an early settlement.

GEROME.

The late Jean Leon Gerome will be remem-
bered not as a great painter, but as a perfect
exemplar of that kind of art which the French
in what may be described as their official char
acter. have always delighted to honor. He was
a born Academician, to whom painting spelled,
above all things, honest drawing and well
balanced composition. France, which has been
SO rich in men Of artistic genius. has IN modern
times been even richer in painters capable,
without genius OF really remarkable achieve
ments.
Gerome was leading figure in this secondary
group. He could not draw the masters
have drawn There was ever something hard and
cold about his draughtsmanship. But at least
It was accurate workmanlike. Similarly. his
composition was without inspiration or in
dividuality, but in pictures like "LEminence
Grise." one OF his most famous works. he raised
to the highest power the kind OF composition
that can be taught in the schools. No one OF
his time knew better than he how to build up
pictorial scheme and put every detail In the
right place. The penalty he paid for his scien-
tihc precision was the squeezing of the juices
OF life out of his pictures. The thousands who
have been beguiled by his anecdotes on can
vas might deny this. He was popular because
he told his story we'll Nevertheless. it is true
that his men and women are but puppets. con-
