 "A well known actress says that one afternoon. while she was being piloted in a hanson through a partieu- larly congested section of Broadway, she< glanced through her window and discovered that in another hansom damned against her own there sat a man she knew.
 The two vehicles ambled along for some distance side by side. but all eff forts of the lady to catch the eye of her friend were unavaiIing. Signs and telepathie communication alike failed to attract the attention of the uncon- scious passenger to the right.
 It would seem that the driver of the ladys hanson had observed through hIs trap the difficulties of the actress. for in the kindness of his heart he

REPRESENTATIVE MorreIl.

Representative Morrells announcement in
Philadelphia last night that he would not
be candidate for reelection to Congress
Is an unpleasant surprise to the citizens of
the District who have increasingly APP
preciated his excellent services as member
of the District committee of the House
much time to local legislation and to such
a good end as Representative Morrell. He
has attacked the problem of dealing with
the District in spirit of fair play and
progress seldom displayed In the lower
branch of Congress. He has come to under
stand the peculiar reasons for the fiscal re-
lationship now existing between the capt.
tai and the federal government, and, as
he showed by his work in connection with
the preparation of the pending school sal
aries bill. he has adopted the principle that
Washington should be developed on high
plane of municipal efficiency. His labors
in the framing of a satisfactory school
measure were painstaking and arduous. The
bill finally framed by the subcommittee of
which he is chairman stands all the tests
that may be fairly applied to 1t as a means
of reHhedying an intolerable condition In
the public schools without precipitating an
endless debate upon comparatively non-es-
sentiaI matters For that work alone Mr..
Morren deserves and has doubtless received
already the thanks of the citizens. They
are therefore the more reluctant to part
with him at the close of the present Con-
gress 1t is to be hoped that his decision
to retire from the House at the end Of
his fourth term is not irrevocable.

The Fire-Escape Law.

The situation with regard to the recently
enacted fire-escape law is such that the
business men and property owners oi
Washington who feel the need of further
legislation TO relieve them OF a serious
burden must take the initiative in securing
the amendment of the law. The bill was
sent to Congress by the District Commits
sioners in order to strengthen and correct
the existing statute in regard to the safe
guarding of human life In this community.
The Commissioners had no intention to
force the erection Of fire escapes upon all
buildings above a certain height, regard
less OF their character or degree of fire.
resisting quality. They specified that the
proposed rule should not apply to buildings
which were properly to be regarded fire
proof as far as that condition now exists
and were provided with two or more stair
ways at least thirty feet apart. Thus 1t
was their purpose TO allow themselves a
leeway in the enforcement of the law to
prevent the disfiguring OF handsome struc-
lures reasonably and safely TO be rated as
sufficiently fre-resisting to permit their
occupants to escape unframed in case OF
a blaze.
Congress saw fit to ignore their recon-
mendations in this respect and to amend
the bin so that it now applies without
discrimination to all buildings three or more
stories in height or more than thirty feet
in height. used for certain specified pur-
poses. This includes virtually every apart
ment house and business building in this
city. If the law Is enforced as written 1t
will impose a serious hardship upon the
community besides causing a general dis
figuration of costly and beautiful buildings
which contribute to the attractiveness of
the capital The law gives the Commits
sioners very little range of authority. but
the present understanding is that they will
exercise 1t TO the utmost to permit build
ing owners to design the fire escapes to suit
the architectural conditions, subject, or
course, to official approval.
This law should be Immediately amended.
1t must be presumed that Congress acted
without a full realization of the conse-
quences of a hard-and-fast requirement. that
every building above the specified height,
regardless of Its character and fire-resist-
Ing qualities. should be equipped with an
iron ladder or series of ladders on the
outer walls. If there were any disposition
to ask unreasonable concessions In the way
of exemption the drastic enactment might
be Justifiable. But the business men and
building owners Of Washington have al
ways borne themselves toward the law OF
public safety with commendable degree
OF compliance. and there is no reason to
expect that If the Commissioners are given
the power OF discrimination for which they
asked Congress it will be exercised in such
a way to lower in any degree the bar
riers against disaster
