4 NEEDLESS SACRIFICE.

The pitiful loss of life in consequence of the
burning of a crowded tenement house in
Brooklyn on Sunday morning suggests an in
curry as 10 the possibility of a repetition of
the tragedy in that borough and in Manhattan
If one such building has existed without fire
escapes IN front. il is to be feared that scores
of others are even now in the same condition
Their occupants are liable to be overtaken by
the flames any night and to meet with a SINH
larly shocking fate. That fact makes evident
two duties of the local authorities. For their
hOmicida neglect the owners of the burned
dwellings in question should promptly be prose-
cuted to the extreme limit of the law An en-
ample should be made that will serve as
warning TO other real estate owners. Further
more there should be an inspection of tene-
ments which would bring TO light glaring def
ciencies Of this kind all over the city, and ade-
quate pressure should be brought to bear to in
sure correction before they terminate fatally.
One feature of the Brooklyn fire which has
had many parallels is the failure of some of
the victims to awaken from sleep in time to
make any effort to escape. Several persons
died in bed from suffocation. While nobody
can be blamed perhaps. for such a result
means for averting 1t in future should be care
fully sought. With a little ingenuity it should
be possible to equip crowded tenements with
some form Of alarm which is automatic, or
else could be readily operated from the lower
floors before a fire had gained much Roadway
Satisfactory apparatus should not be eXpen-
sive If it could once be devised, there would
be some propriety in making its Introduction
into compulsory by law If architects and
refOrmers to get their heads together for
a few minutes, they might hit upon a practical
BILE solution of the problem.

m1SrAKLNG 4 LIGHTHOUSE.

Tho officers crew and passengers of the Slcll-
IAN Prince had a narrow escape from death on
Sunday morning. That innocent looking souIh
shore of Long Island is an exceedingly danger
Gus place The great distance to whlch tne
shoals extend from the visible coast line faclll-
tates grounding and when vessel is once last
there she is at the mercy of the waves. The
latter have an unobstructed sweep for thou
sands of miles when southeastern prevails ana
there is almost a certainty that they will pouna
any human fabrication to pieces in a few hours
Under those circumstances, too, rescue is dl1n-
cult if not impossible. Life saving crews nave
often been made powerless by heavy sea for
twenty four or thirty hours at time when intent
on extending help. Captain Hanks and the people
under his charge have reason to be PROFOUNDLY
thankful that the weather was comparatively
serene when the Siclian Prince lodged herseii
in the sand off Long Beach.
That this steamer should have been lew
miles out of her course, after running several
days by dead reckoning, is not at all surprising.
There is one question however, which is not
satisfactorily answered by the statements or the
officer in command. He is represented as say
ing that he mistook the Sandy Hook light for
that at Barnegat and steered accordingly. 1t is
not unlikely that he may have meant to refer
to the Navesink light, which, like the one fifty
miles to the southwark, flashes every few sec
ondS, whereas the Sandy HOOK LSht is nAeu
Still, there should have been confusion The
interval between flashes at Barnegat Is ten sec
onds. and at Navesnk only five. It has been
suggested that the light which first sighted
by the Sicilian Prince was at Fire Island. That
is also flash light, white in color. but its period
Is whole minute. 1t seems hardly necessary
TO take Montauk Point into consideration. APP
parenty it had been passed without observa-
ton. The white light there, like that at Barne-
gat, flashes every ten seconds, but it is accom-
panied by fixed red light for Identification,
On the whole, it seems probable that the chief
officer of the Sicilian Prince was misled either
by the Fire Island or Navesnk light, but the
trained mariner will find it hard to understand
how he could have mistaken it for the one at
Barnegat To landsman a difference Of a few
seconds may seem a small matter but it Is the
business Of the navigator to look out for such
matters.

SENATOR CocKRELLs CHOICE.

The satisfaction produced by the discovery
that a Republican Legislature had been elected
in Missouri was tempered only by the reflection
that the surprising victory would result in the
retirement Of Senator Cockrell from the place
which he had filed so long and creditaby. The
feeling was not less strong among his political
opponents than in his own party that his pros
pective disappearance from public life was to
be regretted, and the present expectation that
he will continue TO serve the country in another
capacity is sure to please his fellow citizens Of
every political faith.
In offering TO Senator Cockren the vacant
Isthman Canal Commissionership the Prasi.
dent has paid him an unusual compliment for
he informs him at the same time that. if CON
siderations of health constrain him to decline
it, an appointment TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission awaits his acceptance. In one az
those two important posts, therefore, it NAV he
hoped that the Senator will find a congeniaI on
portulhty 10 employ his excellent talents and
sound Judgment for the general benefit. This

gard for the Missouri statesman. fully accord

snow on the Speedway now and it may be
hoped that the trOttlng and pacing may be con-
tinued for some time TO come.
A season will arrive when the Speedway will
be even more popular than it is at present,

numbers to the fascination of rapid animals,

WHAT'S BECOME OF DODGEY

Why does not District Attorney Jerome bring
back Charles F. Dodge? Mr.. Dodge. it may be re-
membered, was the first husband Of the present
Mrs Charles w. Morse. He was indicted for
perjury in connection with his divorce and i'm
mediately fed TO Texas. The decision of the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court up
holding the validity Of the divorce and declaring
the former Mrs. Dodge to be the rightful Mrs.
Morse reminds us that Dodge is still in Texas.
Mr.. jerome nearly 4 year ago got an extra
appropriation of $4,000 for the prosecution of
Dodge. detective was sent after him. but the
officer fell i'll and came back without his man.
Now and then we hear Of Dodge 'plunging'
heavily on a horse race or roofing madly at a
baseball game, or hiring a tug for an excursion
into the Gulf of Mexico but still he remains IN
Texas.
Why don't you bring him back. Mr. Jerome?
The re-establishment of the Dodge divorce would
seem to make such action timely.

TIE GAR AND HIS PEOPLE

The meeting Of the representatives Of the
zemstvos. or provincial assemblies in st
Petersburg is suddenly recognized, not only in
Russia but throughout the world as an event
Of immense Importance. Indeed If the dis
patches accurately reflect the feelings which it
has aroused and describe without exaggeration
the forces which it seems capable of calling
into peaceful action, momentOus is not TOO
strong a word by which 10 characterize its
proceedings. The fact that such an assembly
IS permitted 10 gather and TO speak is in itself
enough To command universal attention. and,
even If no immediate effect upon the govern
mental system should be produced, the empire
would not remain precisely what it was before.
The decision Of the Gar not TO bestow his
official recognition on The meeting is regretted,
but il was apparently not essential 10 the pur-
pose OF the ZemstVO representatives that they
should meet under imperial auspices and have
formal cogniZance taken Of their action. In

significance TO the fact that they have met

Commissioner McAdoo is the latest convert to
the big stick" policy. In his remarks before
the Society of Naval Architects and Marine En-
gneers, the Commissioner declared that the re-
suits of the election indicated that the American
people had ratified the policy of the administra-
ton in regard to the Philippines and the Panama
Canal. and, having done so, it would be bad now
TO abandon the increase of the navy. The Com
missioner showed by his remarks that he is now
bringing forth works meet for repentance. and
that the big stick" no longer has any terrors
for him. because he now knows the American
people are back of it and will use 1t only in
righteous causes.
