A High-Pressure Object Lesson.

New York yesterday had demonstra-
ton Of the efficiency and economy of the
high-pressure service. recently installed
there. A blaze developed in a down.
town building in circumstances which. UNI
der the former method of fire fighting.
would have required five alarms, sum-
moning at least twenty steamers and
demoralizing the entire department
through the shifts occasioned by so large
a turnout of apparatus. The fire occurred
in a large warehouse filled with inflam-
mable materials. On either side of it
was a wholesale whisky house. Had
the flames spread from the building of
origin a great conf1agration would have
been almost surely the result. By means
of the high-pressure service, however,
the flames were confined to the first
structure. The fire was literally drowned
out, fifteen lines of hose being quickly
put in commission with a water pressure
ranging from 125 to IT'S pounds. Within
two hours from the first alarm the fire
was conquered and all the steamers that
had been summoned as an emergency
reserve were dismissed save two that
were held for the work OF pumping
out the water that flooded the cellar of
the building. After 1t was all over. with
a loss OF about $4,000. one of the
chiefs declared that there was no longer
reason to dread fire In New York. for it
had been demonstrated that It Is posi-
BILE now to handle six "five-alarm' fires
within the high-pressure zone at one time.
whereas 1t would have taxed the depart
ment previously % deal with two at once.
This instance Of high-pressure efficiency
should be thoughtfully considered by Con-
gress with reference to the District s
needs. 1t is estimated that the local equip
nent of this nature will cost $3.50. 600.
Doubtless as much as that was saved yes
terday in New York. Some day, il the
high pressure equipment is not installed
locally, Washington will have fire that
will cost far more than the work as
projected. Then maybe Congress will be
convinced that it is false economy to wait
for disaster to compel the provisions
against loss which common precaution
has dictated. The hope of the business
interests Of Washington is that the ap-
preparation will be granted this winter so
that they may be given the high pressure
guarantee against great fire before
another year has passed. The fact that
the National capital has never been Wis
tied by great conflagration is no assur-
ance that 1t will not be thus devastated
Such an assurance would be given by the
expenditure of three-auarters of million
dollars to install a system of pipes from
which an extinguishing flood could be
poured within a few minutes after the
outbreak Of flames anywhere within the
business section Of the city.

Consideration for Consumptives

From the New York Sun.
While much praiseworthy work has been
done in recent years by the health au-
thorities and sanitarians to arouse In the
public a comprehension Of the communi.
cability of tuberculosis and the impor-
lance Of adopting safeguards to prevent
the spread of consumption there has been
an unfortunate by-product of the agita-
ton People have been frightened out
of the ordinary sentiments of humanity
toward the sick. We trust. therefore,
that the growing appreciation of the
communicable character Of disease will
not make the public hard-hearted. The
sick must be cared for somewhere, and
they must be cared for Kindly. Buying
all the Red Cross stamps in the world al
Christmas time will not atone for the
selfish exclusion Of hospitals and dispen-
saries from localities where they can do
the most good.

REPUBLICANS EXPLAIN

PROVIDENCE, K. T., Jan. There
vas no political significance attached
TO the entertainment given Secretary
Taft in Providence Jast night The re-
publicans would have entertained him
had there been any one to take the
initiative, but the fact was that they
had not kept themselves informed as
to his itinerary. Furthermore there
was great uncertainty as to the hour
Of his arrival.
Frederick Roy Martin, editor of the
Journal and John R. RathOm, manag-
ing editor, having learned that Sec
rotary Taft would arrive at o'clock
and that he would have to wait in the
railroad station for an hour to con-
meet with the New York train, wired
to Worcester and asked the Secretary
to be their guest at the Hope Club.
His acceptance having been received,
Mr. Martin telephoned to Gov. Hig-
gns and half a dozen other prominent
citizens to come to the club and meet
Mr. Taft.
The affair was iniprOmptu and Who'll
ly Of a social character.

SEARCH For AN HEIR.

LONDON, January According to
dispatches from the United States
Ambassador Bryce has requested the
American authorities to search for
Gentle Cave-Browne-Cave, who has
succeeded to the title and estates OF
one of the oldest baronetcies in the
kingdom, on the death of his father.
GENTLE has been searched for in vain.
He went to America many years ago,
after a quarrel with his father, and en-
tered the service of a New York firm
of naturalists, for whom he hunted
big game in the far east. Afterward
he was a cowboy in Arizona and lat
err was heard of in Denver.
But a London friend is said to have
received a letter from GENTLE, in
which the latter makes no secret OF
his address or his movements, and it
is stated that he has made arrange
ments by mail for the control of his
English estates, which are in York
shire.
