FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

It may be necessary 10 make boys war
Ike. as many claim, but it has not been
proved that the bravest men were the
cruel ones. and there has never been
war In this country without enough brave
men to do the fighting. The majority Of
mothers are peace-l0ving. yet boys are
provided with toys like air guns and real
guns. for that matter, and encouraged To
shoot anything helpless that crosses their
path. Both boys and girls are allowed
60 play with fire. and the occasional &C
Cidguts only lend Zest 90 the amusement.
One result Of this "wariike" training Is
the scarcity Of song birds. They are
killed in numbers every day of the sea
son, in localities where they have al
ways been numerous The boys viii tell
anybody who enters a plea for the birds
that they are after English sparrows,
but they take all birds they can get. and
English sparrows are only a part OF
them. Ia these days Of toys and amuse-
meuts without number, it IS not neces-
sary for boys 20 spend time in cruel sport.

Il IS a great deal easier 10 foster

New York, July 29.-George c. Til you, chief owner of Steeplechase park. Coney Island, which was burned early Sunday morning, has for years been one of the picturesque figures of Coney Island He has lived near the oceans roar practica, l. fly all his life and was one of Coney Islands pioneers in the amusemen. line. Years ago, when only small part of the beach was used as pleas. ure resort, Tilyou bought much O, the adjoining land, and the holdings, in time of stress, have put him on his feet again. Sundays fire was onls one of several blows that have come to Tilyou. He has announced that he will not rebuild Steeplechase park, but friends say he will change his mind.
 An idea of the size of Sundays fire may be gained when it is said that the area burned aggregated about thirty acres. From 200 to 300 firms or individuals were put out of busi- ness by the fire, which caused a financial loss of about $1,000 900 The insurance aggregates only $780, 900. A cigarette stub, landing in some waste paper, caused all tho trouble.

MILITARY SCHOOLS
New Order Which Has Just Been Issued By Govern
 ment.

Washington, July 29.-Because of some necessary changes in the charac- ter of arms furnished educational in- stitutions at which army or naval off, cers may be detailed,' and because of inconsistencies in the original order the war department has revised the regulations on this subject, which have been published in the form of a new order. Among the provisions is that no detail of an officer on the active list, as professor of military tactics, is to be made at any institution which does not guarantee to maintain at least 100 male pupils over 15 years of age, under military instruction. No detail of an officer on the retired list is to be made to any institution of certain classes known as A, c, and D." which does not guarantee to maintain at least seyenty-ive pupils over 15 years of age under military instruc- tion These classes cover institutions whose organization is essentially mili- tary All institutions not, essentially military which maintain a course of military instruction equal or superior to that required of state land grant or agricultural colleges and at in stitutions where military instruction are regarded as nominal. Where it IS practicable a detailed retired non-com- missioned officer is to report to the officer on duty at the school or col lege for instructions as his assistant.

TWENTY VICTIMS
The Bodies of New York Fire Victims Were Burned Be-
 yond Recognition.

New York, July 29.-Loss of human life and destruction of property worth more than $1,O00,000 were caused by fire in New York and its immediate vicinity ill the 24 hours ending Ut o'clock this morning. Twenty persons are dead, and fifteen suffer from seri- ous injuries as the result of the burn ing of six-story double tenemtn ln Christie street, and heavy financial loss resulting from the destruction of the Long beach hotel at Long beach to- day and the Steelpechase park and other property at Coney island yester- day. In addition, the steamship Ham, ilton, of the Old Dominion line, came into port yesterday with part of her hold ablaze. The Hamilton was at her dock before any of the passengers kenw there was fire on board. The flames were extinguished after about $15.000 damage had been done.
 The explosion of bomb placed, the police believed, by agents of the black hand in an Italian grocery on Chris tie street, started the fire which swept through the teeming Italian tenement and killed score of people and injur- ed fifteen others: The noise of the explosion caused panic in the dense- ly populated district The police say that many perished in the flames, fear ing to escape to the streets, where they believed death awaited them from the dreaded black hand. A second ex- plosion from kerosene tank follow ed, and the whole lower floor was a mass of flames from blazing oil.
 The fire shot up the stairways cut ting off all escape from those in the bedrooms above. Many rushed to the fire escapes which became cloggcd with frightened tenants. The house was filled with dense smoke and the flames rushing up stairs drove the half crazed people toward the roof. The flames killed many as they were about to be rescued from the roof while others were overcome by smoke. There were many heroic rescues by firemen The bodies of the dead were found in all manner of places. Four women were discovered in q closet where they had rushed to hide from the flames which found them out. The body of q woman was found lying over child as though she had tried to protect 1t from the flames. Five bodies were found crowded around one doorway on the top floor showing that they had been struck down while try ing to escape.
 The fire wave first struck Coney is land yesterday and before 1t subsiled Steeplcc.iase park .a score of hotels and mapv amusement attractions were in ruins, and many persons were homeless. The next fire was the steam. ship fire. Then came the Christie street tenement disaster and to-day the Long beach hotel. The 500 guests were all in their beds when the flames were discovered, but all left the place in safety. ,...

Criticism from London.

London. July 29.-Commenting on the result of the trial of William D. Haywood. at Boise. the Chronicle to- day says:
 ''The state of society revealed by the trial is more terrible than any civil war because it Is more treacherous and is likely to he more lasting. From be- ginning to end it reveals condition of brutal rapacity, confronted with savage, despairing violence, a couii- ton that gives Americas boasted civilization very dubious look"
 The Daily News says: From the outset the question has been complicated by the free prejn- dices of q kind of smouldering class war. The whole movement, both in the revelations of the trial and It's ac- compartments in public excitement, has Illustrated the insecurity of au- thority in America and the profound scepticism concerning the identity of law and justice"
 Both editorials refer to President Roosevelts undesirable citizen" state ment. The News calls 1t one of his frequent public dlscretions. and the Chronicle predicts that it will cost him dear.

TRIAL TO GO ON
Although Haywood Has Been Set Free inc State of Idaho Will
 Not Drop Other Cases.
PURSUING SIMPKINS

Boise, Idaho, July 29.-Applicatior for bail for Charles H. Mover, the i'm prisoned president of the Western Federation of Miners, and George A Pettibone, his co-defendant, on tho charge of the murder of former Gov ernor Steunenberg, came before Judge Fremont Wood this morning.
 The charge is the same as that, un. der consideration before jury ia the same court room for the last eleven weeks. Only the characters are diff erent, William D. Haywood, the sec. retary-treasurer of the federation having been discharged from custody yesterday. The probability is that the court will admit Mover to bail placing the amount at $20,000 or $25 1000. It is estimated that the ball for Pettibone will be refused. In both cases the state will resist the granting of bail.
 The decision of the state to con- tinue the prosecution of the men now under arrest and the statement that Jack Simpkihs, the fugitive from jus tice, indicted with them, Is almost within the reach of the law and may be arrested at any time, came as a surprise to counsel for the defense, who confidently expected that Mover and Pettibone would be released. Haywood spent last night quietly at the house in Boise where his family has been living since the trial com menced. It was happy gathering and the released man received con- gratulations frmo his friends in a steady stream. The telegrams con tinue to pour in from nearly every town in the union. Haywood will re- main here some days befcS. going to Denver to take up his work. John Murphy, the general counsel for the Western Federation of Miners, who Is dying of consumption here, is a great friend of Haywood. and ar engagements are now being made to take him, back to Denver if possible before his death. Haywood will probably accompany him.
 Boise has accepted the verdict quietly and in the same spirit that has been In evidence since the trial commenced. Governor Gooding takes the position that the state. hav- ing announced a determination to leave the decision with judge and jury in the Haywood case, |. will maintain that position with regard to Mover and Pettibcne.
