Henry 3. f. Mcfarland of the District
of Columbia and there are fifteen
other members who make their homes
iii Washington, including former Sec
rotary of State John w. Foster, Adj
miral Dewey and Justice Harlan. The
governors of thirty-nine States also
have membership in the committee.
Preservation of health and life is
virtually the only reason assigned for
the proposed change. President Roose-
Welt was indicted into office on one OF
the fairest days ever granted for the
ceremony. but the deaths of Senator
Bate of Tennessee Senior Don Asplroz,
ambassador from Mexico, and Judge
Weldon of the Court of Claims we"e
traced directly to exposure during the
outdoor ceremonies on that day.
The almost inseparable connection
between the Inauguration and the close
of Congress creates the most perpleX-
inc obstacle to the proposed change In
the date of the ceremony. 1t is said
by some persons claiming authority
that the two events need not necessari-
" he simultaneous Others say that
tle date of the ending of Congress
must be changed to coincide with any
new Inauguration date which may be
set
There is a divergence of opinion
about the matter of~the new date to be
selected if one is to be fixed by legisld-
tion. Til last day of April is favored
nv some members of the committee,
while others wish it to be the last
Thursday in April, so that Inaugural
lion day never will fall on Sunday.
AnriI is a showery month in Washing
ton and the members of the commit
tee who wish fair weather to be as
sured desire that the date be set for
ward well into the month of May.
Nearly every governor in the coun-
tty has written letter to Committee

pathy with the movement for

LOSSES BY FIRE.

Startling Figures Showing Destruction
of Property and Life.
The enforced economy of our grand
parents and the folly of our own gen.
GRAFTON are now costing us enormously
in the loss of life and property by fire.
In 1904, 6,672 people were burned, an
average of eighteen fatalities through
fire every day in the year! We i'm
prove our fire department and increase
our water supply, yet the losses are
ever augmented. Our present ratio
is nine lives lost by fire every year for
every 100000 of population; in 1900
the ratio was eight, and in 1890 only
five per 100000 people burned! Nearly
as many people are burned to death
every year as are killed by the rail-
roads, generally believed to be the
most fruitful source of fatal accidents.
We have burned up $1,OOO,OOOO 600
worth Of property in six years. Our
fire losses are equivalent to tax of
$25 per year per family. Our total gold
production would only pay for one
third of those losses. The total output
of all our splendid iron mines would
just about pay for our fires. Most
losses are really but exchanges, one
product turned into some other form,
loss perhaps to many, but a gain
to some one. Not so with fire; that
money goes up in smoke; $3.50, 0OO, 900
worth Of smoke last year. That in
Guided the Baltimore fire, but then
that total was only $15,000,OO0 more
than the 1903 loss. This year bids
fair to equal if not exceed that figure.
The average daily loss for the year
1904 was 100000.
At a most liberal estimate we erect
about $1,0OO,O0O worth Of buildings
day the country over. Note how these
figures compare with our fire losses;
great as is the building boom every
where. we are scarce replacing prop
erty destroyed by fire. II the record
of February last is kept up, and we
have no guarantee that it will not be,
the destruction of property equals half
as much again as we build!
New York averages $500 fires year,
Chicago, 400. We burn up three
theaters, three public halls, twelve
churches, ten schools, two hospitals,
two asylums, two colleges, six apart
ment houses, three department stores,
two jails, twenty-six hotels, 40 fat
houses. and nearly 1900 homes every
week Of the year.-New York Tele-

rity of Hungarian institutions and the
unfolding of Hungary's independence,
as stipulated in the agreement uniting
the two countries, were the popular is-
sues in the elections early this year,
when the so-called liberal party, then
in power, was defeated by overwhelming
majorities. Rallying upon these issues,
the various factions in Hungarian poll
tics formed a coalition which now domi.
mates in the national parliament and
which undoubtedly has a strong backing
in popular sentiment.
The members of this coalition seek a
number of reforms, most important of
which is the demand for a regulation
permitting the use of the Magyar tongue
as the language of command in the Hun
garian army. 1t is upon this last de-
mand, which appeals peculiarly to popu-
lar sentiment, that the Hungarians are
now making their firmest stand as a test
issue.
Franz Josef has rejected this demand,
CURLY and emphatically. The Hunga-
rians have learned of his course with
indignation and a committee of their
parliament has adopted resolutions cen
surfing him.

PACKERS PAY FINES.
Indicted Chicago Beef Men Admit Civ
ing Rebates.

Indicted Chicago Beef Men Admit Civ
ing Rebates.
Four officials of the Schwarzschild
& Sulsberger Packing Company, Chica-
go, pleaded guilty before Judge j. Otis
Humphrey in the federal court to &C
cepting railroad rebates in a con.
spiracy to violate the Elkins law, and
they were fined total of $4,000. This
marked the first victory Of the govern
ment in its prosecution of the packing
companies in what are now known as
the "beef trust cases." A certified
check for So, ZOO was handed to the
clerk Of the court, and the four de-
PENDANTS were released.
"You are indicted under section 544O,"
said the court in opening his sentence.
"You are charged with conspiracy to
commit an offense against the United
States laws. Your counsel has entered
pleas of guilty, and if you have any
thing further to say other than has al
ready been spoken, you are at liberty to
speak,"
The three younger defendants shook
their heads; the fourth, the man of years,
looked at the floor and said nothing, nor
did he make a sign.
Punishment for this offense as fixed
by Congress has wide range, giving the
court unusual latitude, ranging from q
nominal fine without Imprisonment to q
heavy fine and two years Imprisonment,
all in the discretion of the court.
have heard ON your behalf all of your
side of this matter and what the gov
eminent wished to present. I am dispos-
ed to consider this case with reasonable
moderation. The sentence of the court
in the case of the defendant, We'll, will
be fine of $4,000 and costs and COM
mitment to the county jail until the fine
is paid, and in the cases of Todd, Skip
worth and Cusey a fine of $1,000 and
costs, with the same provision in regard
to the payment. The costs may be dis
tributed among the four defendants"
To compete with the others it was
stated, according to good authority, the
independent concern accepted rebates
from the railroad companies. A repre-
sentative of the four defendants confer
red with the Attorney General and sub
sequent trips to Washington were made
with the result that an understanding
was reached whereby, upon a plea of
guilty, fine should be assessed and the
imprisonment clause waived.
If the case had gone to a trial the de-
PENDANTS would have met the govern
ment with motion to quash the indict-
ment on the ground that it was faulty.
1t is declared Dy the defense that they
are charged with violating the Elkins act
which went into force on Feb. 10, 1908,
but the crime alleged to have been COM
mitted is charged to have been perpe-
trated Feb. 3, 1908. Attorney Boyesen
in his opening statement in court men
toned this fact, but declared that his
clients did not wish to avail themselves
of any technicalities. He had been in
structed, he said, to enter q plea Of
guilty.

THE BURGLARS HARVEST,
New York Has the Worst Visitation of
Such Crimes in Her History.

Such Crimes in Her History.
There are more robberies in New York
City at present than ever before in the
experience of the metropolis. On the
East Side burglars and sneak thieves are
so active that men and women sit up
nights with all manner of firearms handy
to repel attacks. Five thefts in the re.
glon bounded by Bradford and Fulton
streets, Arlington and Miller avenues
were reported recently in a single night.
In the eastern section of Harlem 80
burglaries have occurred in the past ten
days.
In spite of strongest safes, more cum
ming electric alarm systems and more
complete methods of identifying crimi-
nails, the burglar seems to be feared now
adays much more than he used to be.
An evidence of this is the tremendous
growth of the burglar insurance bust
ness in this country in recent times. A
little more than ten years ago practically
all attempts to insure people against
theft proved futile. Companies were
organized for this purpose, but after
many vicissitudes they ended in failure
since that time nearly a dozen corpora
tons have. come into existence, and so
last year they paid over 1884, in
burglary losses. In the same time they
collected $1,386, $40 in premiums.
This increasing dread of the burglar
is due to the fact that he never was
more formidable or more active than at
the present time. In these days of
greater wealth those temptations which
are so alluring to the thief have been
multiplied. Consequently there are more
diamond robberies and crimes of a SINH
lar character now than in the past. The
discovery of more effective tools and
more powerful explosives has also aided
the robbep, and although he does not
attempt as often as he did to blow up
the big city banks, because of their alarm
systems and special patrols, his ravages
in country districts have grown to an
alarming extent. At the present time
four out of five bank burglaries are COM
mitted in towns of less than 1000 inhab-
itants. In the last eight years 776 banks
situated in such communities were at
tackled, with loss of 81, 100000. Safes
once regarded as burglar proof have been
shown to be little stronger than soap
boxes in the hands IF eXper thieves, and
consequently mary companies will not
insure country banks at al
The modern burglar is more wantonly
destructive than his predecessor. His
use of dope or nitroglycerine often
causes a greater damage to a building
than the loss made by the theft itself
Even when he fails of getting loot he
leaves a scene of wreckage behind. OF
the S1,25O,OO0 in losses incurred by
hanks Of which mention has already
been made, more than 100000 repre-
sented destruction Of property. In rob-
berries of dwelling houses and apartment
houses the damage averages about one
tenth of the total loss.

FIVE DIE IN COLLISION.
Engine Plows Through Car, Crushing
OCCUPANTS to Death.

A rear-end collision between the east
bound New York limited from st. Louis
and local passenger train which was
standing at the Paoli station of the
Pennsylvania railroad, nineteen miles
west of Philadelphia, resulted in the
death of FIVE men and the injuring Of
more than twenty others.
The force of the collision was so great
that the engine of the limited plowed ten
feet into General Manager Atterbury's
private car, and the latter was forced
half way through the day coach ahead.
At the time of the accident there was
less than half a dozen passengers in the
local train and they were in the forward
cars, which were not damaged. The en-
gineer and fireman of the limited were
not hurt, but a dozen persons on this
train were injured by being thrown
against seats and the sides of the cars.
Four of those who lost their lives were
killed almost instantly. The fifth man

HUNGARiANS AssAlL KING.
Wrath of Nation Infiamed by Speeches
Against Ruler.

Against NulGTs
Special dispatches from Buda-Pesth
indicate that the excitement consequent
on the strained relations between the
crown and. the united opposition in the
Hungarian diet is increasing and that,
while the leaders of the coalition parties
are counseling the people to refrain from
violating the law. infiammatory Speeches
are being made by prominent persons in
various sections of the country and that,
probably for the first time, the personal
popularity of the king emperor is being
assaulted.
At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the coalition parties at Buda-
Pesth, according to the dispatches, sew
eral sharp speeches were made and the
conviction was expressed that a peace
able settlement was impossible, though
there was no reference to other than a
legal fight over the differences between
the two parts of the mpire.
1t is stated that the coalition leaders
proposed to Count Cziraky, at the con-
ference in Vienna Sunday, compromise
of the difficulties arising from the ques-
ton of language to be used in the army
in Hungary by the introduction of Hum
garian words of command for sixteen
hussar regiments only. 1t is understood
that this proposition was carried to his
majesty, whose failure to reply indicates
that his ultimatum is Interchangeable.
Even should the present acute crisis in
Austria-H Hungary be tided over the sit
uation in the dual monarchy promises to
be such as to give the world serious
concern for some time to come. 1t seems
improbable that the Hungarians can be
induced to recede from the demands they
have made for changes in the admins
tration of their kingdom. On the other
hand Emperor Franz Josefs action in
administering a rebuff to the Hungarian
parliamentary leaders who called upon
him Sunday shows little promise of any
yielding on the Austrian side.
The present clash is the outgrowth of
movement which has been steadily
gaining Roadway in Hungary and which,
to summarize it's salient features broad
ly, is an effort toward a larger measure
of Independent national life. The integ'
