A FURTHER FIRE
 PROTECTION GAIN
IS MADE FOR TiE CITY THROUGH THE EFFORTS o FMAYOR
 TAYLOR
Andthc L-5erality of the coPaer Queen-conrection With High Pres sure Pumps Is to Be Had-Ea 'sr2es Scope o< system.

Mayer Taylor yesterday concluded negotiations which will briHS about 9 considerable improvement in the hre protection system of the city al com paratiyeiy sight cost.
 The improvement will have its most important feature in the connection of the mains in the town with the high pressure pumps of the Copper Queen Co These pumps iu case of emergency could give a pressure in the fvc-iuch mains of the city of 300 pounds The present pressure avail able from the tanks is IlO hounds. With the additional pressure it will be possible 10 reach points q couple of hundred feet higher on the hill sides than can now be touched. This will give oevery quarter of the city. practically. available fire pressure.
 The manner of securing the new connection will be through the putting of fve-inch main by the Copper Queen from the Car to the railroad depot. The city viii build the remairns couple of hundred feet of line from the railroad track to the Brewery Gulch mains at the Rinehart drug store corner Nlr. Taylor thinks this can be done and the connections made for less han $500. The Copper Queen w.ll also connect the TWO tanks rrhe hill with fve-inch pipe, replacing The threo-inch BOW in serv- ice. Superintendent Douglas makes these expenditures in return for the benefits th company win receive from connection with the mains of the city. The action is considered highly liberal Cost to the cit- of eNtea- sions which are covered by the action of MT. Douglas would have been $1.000 or more.

Work oa the new school building is beiEl delayed on account Of the lack 1f building material. There is a great scsrcty of beth cut stone and cement blocks .n the city. and 1t is impossible tn say when he work will be resuIn- ed.
 With regard 10 the delay it was stated yesterday by those having in charge the erection of the building the contractors are alone Q be look ed to. they having engaged to finish the work within a specified time. Un- ayOidable delays. if later shown to n school trustees. may make for an extension of time.
 Manager Moore. Of the Douglas Cast Stone Co.,. which is furnishing the cement and the concrete blocks for the new building. said last night that his company had been engaged in putting in additional equipment This has caused some delay. but he states that the delay occasiOned so far will be more than made up in the course of the next few weeks by the increased output of the plant This increased output will be showed without delay to Bisbee consumers, and t is assuI ed that not for some time to come at least Will there be further cause for complaint here re- sarjiEC shortage of materials.
 The increase in capacity at the cast stone works that Mr. Moore re- ports Is the addition of a hydraulic blocking machine and ten-tCn press. Nr. Moore states, the output of the Iactory can be raised 1000 blocks per 6ay Regarding the matter of de .ay ia commencement Of the work on the Lowell jail. he says that the in stallation Of the new machinery has been the cause here as on the school building job The contractors have ninety days ir which 10 finish the Lowell jail. however. and he says that il will be up and ready for use in ad- vance of the time limit With the equipment that is soon to be service able at the factory sufficient blocks for this building can be turned out in two days.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST GRAFT

The campaign against corruption proceed
ctively in spite of checks and disappointment
rhe various developments are of lively interest:
The disinclination on the part of the
country juries to punish the st. Louis bOOdlers
which Circuit Attorney Sager says he has
discovered and which he Think indicates
either public indifference to their punishment
or public sympathy with their personal hard
ships. is probably due to mixed causes and
motives The struggle to convict the ST.
Louis bOodlers has been long and bitter and
probably the juries think the booders have
paid heavy penalty in loss of character and
standing. Th3 crimes are old and the char
acter of the men supplying the testimony
arOuses repulsiOn and doabt in the minds
Of juries, and all of the cases have been han
died for the defense with view CT exciting
personal pity for the defendants and their
families More than this, the country people
do not fully understand the crime or the
methods of bribery as practiced in the cities.
Certainly Mr.. Sager is right L. the belief
that there has been no abatement of public
sentiment against official corruption. The
evidence points to the general awakening Of
the people to realization of thu prevalence
and of the enormity of the offense. Mr..
Sager is right in his resolutions not to permit
obstacles to the obtaining of convictions to
discourage him, but to redouble the vigor of
his prosecutions. If public sentiment is
wrong 1t must be corrected. Continued Wig
orOus prosecution will be warning to evil
dOers and to those who are tempted to do
wrong 1t will be an education FOR the public.
The best campaign that can be waged against
corruption is the prosecution of wrongdoers
in courts where all the facts are brought to
light with tx cir relations to the law The
public awakening on the subject of official
corruption was due in large .1easure to the
Doodle prosecutions in this city and state.

involving similar charges are to be tried
shortly. The June grand jury in San Fran
cisco unearthed a hotbed of graft in the
board Of health. in connection with the in.
spectiOn and condemnation OF food supplies
and the extortion of money from business
men and office-holders. The collections were
made under the guise of an organization
known as thu Central Club" Many Office

county the bar association has board of

however, these censOrs have heretofore
looked after little save the conservation Of
the sources of revenue. But in Bucks county,
recently, the censors have commenced dis
barment proceedings against two prominent
and influential lawyers, for embezzling the
money of their clients. Their cases are de-

"unhappily not exceptional" and there has
been much reluctance shown by their pro-

MAYOR n'cLELLANs RECORD

The Buffalo Evening Times pays glowing
tribute to Mayor George B. Mcclellan of New
York and calls attention to the fact that his ad-
ministration has drawn encomiums from leading
republicans of the metropolis:
There is no dsputing the fact that the
city of New York is cleaner today-morally,
physically and politically than at any time
in it's history. 1t is the wonder, the envy and
the admiration of other great municipalities
both at home and abroad Interference with
it's local government by a hostile political
state organization has not barred, though it
has at times hindered, it's progress. Libeled
for political and personal ends and ambitions,
1t yet rises the imperial city, clean, whole
some, progressive. Broadminded, intelligent
and wise, foreseeing the ultimate destiny
OF this great municipality, Mayor Mcclellan
is earning the encOmiums of those who two
years ago were virulently hostile to his can
didacy. The splendid selections he made
for members of the newly created water COM
mission stand out in striking contrast to like
selections for other commissions made by the
plant executive of the state. So remarkably
clean and consistent has been lis record that
his political opponents are conceding already
that he cannot be defeated for reelection the
coming fall.

EQUITABLE CORRUPTION

Governor Higgins message recommending t
he New York legislature thorough investigation
If the Equitable Life Assurance society was
great triumph for the New York World whic
las this to say:
Now that the governor and the legislature
have complied with the peoples will, the way
is open to full publicity. The first thing to
be done is to ascertain where all the money
paid in by The pOlicyholders and the COM
pound interest thereon have gone. Every
penny must be accounted for. Every cent
which has been diverted from an honest pur-
pose must be traced to it's ultimate recipient.
Every fact connected therewitI must be made
known. All the mysteries whi~l have be-
wildered the public must.-te revealed. The
great Ryan mystery, the Merchantile Trust
company loan mystery the Hartman blind
pool MYSTERY, the deferred dividend mystery
and all the other secrets must be exposed.
Not alone the Equitable but every other COM
pany involved in the system must be venti-
lated to the innermost nook and Granny.
Let the precedent of facts first and the
remedy afterward, set by the Stevens gas
committee be followed in the lifeinsurance
investigation. It will do much more than
purify life insurance. 1t will purge the poll
tics OF New York IF every politician who has
received life insurance money is put in the
pillory of publicity. All this exposure of life
insurance and political corruption is not dis
couraging 1t is a hopeful sign of keen
public conscience and of an elevation of the
tone OF the public opinion that will make no
distinctions between thieves and will even
visit the greater condemnation upon the guilty
men OF the higher standing. To have kept
life insurance corruption concealed, continu-
ing its iniquities aid it's debauching of the
body polite, would have been infinitely more
harmful than any possible exposure can be-
Public opinion has again won a victory of

According to the Hendricks statement
Governor Higgins comedies with him that
the Equitable society "has not sustained any
loss by reason of the Hartman transaction.
Was it no loss to buy stock at par which was
selling in the open market at SO? Was it no
loss to buy trust company stock at s1.O25
and turn it over to Mr.. E. H. Hartman at
less than half the cost price? Is II mo locs
t. have $1,670,000 tied up in a blind pool
with no stock to show for it? If none of
these things is "any loss," why investigate
anything?-New York World.
