stitute for the Williams amendment
House aof Representatives today on the
journed. regarding payments to any per-
son for his Endorsement or assistance

fee
The substitute, while differing in
phra seology from the Williams amend
rnent, arrives at the same end. except
that il disqualifies from any Office of
trust or profit under the government all
Persons receiving such pay.
In a brief, but vigorous. speech Mr.
Payne, New York. urged that the VII
liems amendment and Ha-dwick sub
stltute be voted down. He wanted the
eonmi:tee on judiciary to carefully con-
slider such propositions before they are
enacted into law.
Mr.. Williams was quick 10 retort that
Mr. Payne and other republicans had
made party question out of the amend
rlent and substitute. whereas he said II
Was not a party question. but one dealing
with corruption. He was aiming at the
real crime. and II the amendment was not
satisfactory TO the republicans then. in

yourselves.
Mr.. Hardy OF Texas offered as sub
stitute for the lIardwick substitute a
clause exempting from guilt the employ

Comment at Length.
LONDON. January 1s-The terrible dis
aster at Boyertown evokes considerable
comment in ,the morning papers.
The Tribune says:
1t is, OF course, a recognized fact that
dangers Of a panic are far greater than
those of a fire, fact wi!ch is re-empha-
sized at Eoyertown, and a panic Is also
much more difficult to guard against
where an entertainment Is exclusively de-
signed for children. 1t is obvious that a
prescribed number Of responsible persons
should be present"
There seams to have been every con-
ceivable element or danger accumulated
the cinematosraph. which has its possi-
bflities Of risk OIL lamps for footlghts,
an audience Of children and an iil-con-
structed building. One can only record
sympathy which will go to this stricken
town from this country as from al! the
civilized world, and point the moral that
no care which our own authorities take
to guard against such perils can be exces-
5ive'
The Daily Chronicle says: Every the
atergoer in London will agree as to what
Is the wisest scene in an entertainment
when he Is witnessing it's interlude In
which f1rep-oof curtain Is lowered and
raised before him.
The Daily Graphic says: "The London
county council Is made the butt of much
unkind comment by ma na gers and others
who have been put to considerable ex-
pense by what they consider almost grand
motherly precautions. necessitating struc-
tural alterations for the provision Of bet
ter exits and gangwayS but theater accl-
dents, when they come. invariably prove
that too great attention cannot be paid
to these matters"
