The Great Red Plague

F. W. Fitzpatrick, an eminent archi- tee, of Washington, D. C., writes on theu,cIesS waste by fire in this country, pointing out that the annual loss per capita in the United States is S2, while in Europe it is 33 cents. In speaking Of the causes he says:
 Wood has been another curse of the country. It as almost a blessing in disguise that our forests are well-nigh devastated by our eXtravagant ruth lc,,ness. because eyon to the most obtuse it must be evident that the use of wood is no longer economy. A building of steel frame and hollow frenroofing tile. or of structural re-
 ntorced concrete protected from fire by tile, costs but a fraction over ten per cent more in first cost than does the usual frame of wood with wooden foi,,s and studs. The life of such framing is infinitely longer than the old wood affair, the cost of mainte- nance is less. SD is the insurance rate, and. all in all, in a very few years time. good construction not only means safety, but an actual economy. The enclosing of stairways and eleva- tor wells, the protection of windows and ,kyIightS with wire glass, the making of building ircproof in de sign costs nothing more in money than the cheap fire traps, but is mere ly the expenditure of a little intelli- geuce on the part of the architects.
 Looked at fairly, says The Ameri can Architect, it is the community at large that is the culprit, since it "suf- ters" fires to take place, when it really has the power to prevent them. It looks calmly on at the expenditure of millions annually, millions that come out of its own pockets, for the main tenauce of imperfectly effective fire de- partments, and yet, if but half of the money spent in this way had been used in the difference in cost between con- bustible and uncomfortable construction, the greater part of our cities would now be indestructible."

LOCATING AS A TRADE

Each year adds testimony to the wrongfulness of the unlimited location of mining claims by power of attorney. Sooner or la.er the sentiment against this habit should procure it's abolition as it has been a more serious draw back to development than litigation. In every promising district of Alaska men who make trade of locating clajms and trying to sell them without scratching the ground beyouud setting up discovery stakes have rushed in with the first stampede and p.astered notice, over areas aS extensive as southwestern cattle ranches.
 The Nenma district i, sufferer from Uni, vicious license of the law. Within the last few days several min cr, of experience in other Alaska camp, have returned tO Seward and stated that the most promising creeks in .ue district where gold has shown to exist in paying quantities have been located from end t0 end by professional locators who are doing nothing with the ground. Instances are known of men who have simply marched up acreek posting adlscovery notice oyery l420 feet, ignoring the necessity of setting corner stakes. or course these locations are invalid but miner with small outfit does not care Co begin where it is certain he vii. have lawsuj, it he finds any ,h.rg. with an even chance that his rival can ou,swcar him and gc, the benefit of his labor.
 There can be no reasonable obgec- ton -o che location os a limited num- r.~uf claims by power of attorney in order Co allow the locator Co stake for one OF two men who grUbstake him, lou. the line must be drawn somewhere and a vigorous renewal O. the fight should be traugurayed before the new congress.

Judge Wickersham has been affirm ed iu the Nelson case, to which Senator Nelson took violent exception because the Nelson Iitigant is relative of the senator. Wickersham's diabolical decision in this case was one of the senator's chief counts in his indictment Q. the judge before the senate, and now comes the circuit court of appeals and says Wickersham was right on the law and the facts. A large amount of gold already mined was at stake and this was tied up by order of Judge Wickersham pending the final deter imitation of the case. This Is now lost to the Nelson family.

General Temperature Slide

Washington, D. C.,-The weather bureau officials say there are no i'm mediate prospects of summer any where.
 The official reports from all over the continent show the lowest tenn peratures for this season in many years, and the bureau chiefs cannot account for it..
 The disturbance of the isothermal lines defies rules and experience, and is almost epochal, requiring systems of predictions to be evolved to fit the case.
 The chilled area dips occasionally clear to the gulf of Mexico, where re- ports will show lower thermometer for the twenty-four hours than twelve hundred miles to the north. The cold reaches across the Atlantic, and is al- most being duplicated in Europe, with much seasonable weather both north and south of the belt, and almost win ter weather within the stricken zone.
 The bureau chiefs are inclined to fear that the change back to normal temperatures will be accompanied by storm disturbances of important di- mensions before the proper equili- brium can be again established

NO BIRDS ON NEW YEARS.
But They May Be Eaten Legally
the Night Before.

II you want to eat game in a restaurant on
New Years Eve you must do it before the
stroke Of midnight gives you the tip that It's
all up with the old year. If you yield to
the impulse Of the merriment that breaks
out at II clock and call for small bird-with
or Wiihout-you may. according to a decision Of
Justice Greenbaum. in the Supreme Court yes
terday, run the risk of being arrested for viola
ton Of the game laws.
This decision was handed down in the case
Of John B. Martin, proprietor Of the Cafe Mar
Tin, who was arrested last January by the game
wardens for having in his possession a number
of game birds one minute after midnight The
action brought against Mr.. Martin by the
Forest. Fish and Game Commission to collect
penalties for $4.2S5.
In directing a verdict for the plaintiff. Justice
Greenbaum said that his Interpretation of the
law that II any had IN his possession
the birds in question at one minute after mid
night New Years Eve, he was liable to
fine or imprisonment, as the game laws make It
a msdemeanor to possess game on January /.
Last New Years Eve Mr.. Martin served over
5000 game birds to his patrons. There were left
over after midnight 102 quail, 80 partridge and
grouse and S plover Two game wardens en-
tered. examined the icebox and found the birds.
The commission then sued TO collect the $50
fine which the law imposes for each bird.
argued that the defendant should have the ben
eft Of Section 141 Of the forest fish and game
law, which provides that person giving a bono
can keep in his possession during the close sea-
son certain game birds Ike the ones seized AT
the Cafe Martin, Mr.. Martin had signined his in
tention to send the birds TO cold storage ana
give the bond required by the statute, but New
Year being a holiday, he unable to do 50
before the game wardens made the seizure.
Mr.. Martin said he : ould take the case 70
the Appellate Division &c the Supreme Court
and thereafter TO the Court Of Appeals, and even
10 the United States Supreme Court, if neces-
sary.
Mr.. Martin said yesterday that unless yester-
days decision is reversed in the higher courts
It will be impossible for him to serve any game
after - o'clock on New Years Eve Il intend
70 place q notice my bill Of fare" said Mr.
Martin, that any one who orders game before
midnight VIII have to, eat 1t before the clock
strikes u, or else he VIII be liable to arrest and
conviction under the ruling Of the court in this
action"
The question now arises whether person who
eats quail before midnight has the bird In his
possession after midnight when he walks out
Of the restaurant. This question has not rs
yet been passed upon by the court

SUICIDE IN CHURCH ST. STATION.
Coroner Charges Laxity of Discipline and
Will Complain to Bingham

For the second time within two months a
prisoner committed suicide in the Church street
police station. The second case occurred yes
terday. Coroner Hamburger will ask Commits
sioner Bingham 70 investigate. The coronrr
told Captain Gallagher that such a happening
was an outrage. The captain explained that the
prisoner had hanged himself while the dGorman
was upstairs at other work
81 am going TO take this to the Commits
sioner." the coroner said last night. "Some re-
form is necessary to prevent a recurrence. and l
am going to see that the responsibility of this
is placed. The doorman says that he was
somewhere else doing some cleaning. Either he
should be a doorman else a cleaner. Plenty
OF men like this prisoner arrested a Sc
rious charge, with more than possibility that
they are innocent. OF they feel dis
couraged and dsgraced and in the few minutes
OF dependency likely TO think of suicide.
II they have an opportunity they Will kill them
selves"
The prisoner frankly admitted that the name
he gave fictitious. He was arrested early IN
the morning when Sergeant Tully saw him COM
ing out OF a tenement house in No. 1O2 Wash
ington street, where Syrian family lived. A
twelve-year-od Syrian girl sent to the Chill
drens Society, and will be arraigned with her
mother in the Chdrens Court to-day. II was
soon after being locked up that the man arrested
hanged himself from the ventating pipe in his
col
