CHIEF WAGNER URGES
HIGH WATER PRESSURE
Declares District in Gravest Danger Should Two OF
More Fires Occur at Same Time Commissioners
VIII Again Ask Congress for Appropriation.

1.-THE District Of Columbia is not pro-
vided with adequate FIRE protection.
Should two or more large fires occur at
the same time the entire equi )ment Of
the department would be called out, and
II an additional fire occurred in another
section Of the city great damage and
possible loss of life would result before
aid could be given"
Fire Chief Wagner thus defended his
stand for a high water pressure system
which the Commissioners have recon-
mended for several years and for which
they will make special efforts at the
next session of Congress to obtain an
appropriation of $4,000. The section
which is proposed to protect by this
system is bounded by b, I, First and
Eighteenth streets northwest
Several demonstrations have been
given from single high-pressure fire
hydrant connected to a twelve-inch va
ter main at Eighteenth and u streets
and shown the advantages to be OBJ
tanned from a larger system.

Washington, July 6.-While Repre-
sentative Cushman possessed unchal-
lcneed the title of blouse humorist,"
he was universally regarded as far
more than that His high ability was
recognized by Speaker Cannon in COM
mittee assignments. particularly in his
selection to fill vacancy on the ways
and means committee at a time when
a great tariff bill was to be reported
to the House for consideration.
One striking thing about Represent
alive Cushman was that he never Gus
played his gift of humor to the H"uS"
for its mere amusement. but always
with view of impressing his view
more forcibly on that body.
One of his first speeches to attract
attention touched on the effects of the
panic in 1898. In describing the impoV-
crished condition to which his constitu-
cnts were reduced. he said they were
forced to live on clans, washed ashore
by the incoming tide. Their stomachS.
he concluded, rose and fell with the
rising and falling of the tide.
He probably will be long remembered
hy reason of the effectiveness of his
humor in the debates on the Payne
tariff bill in the House. His speech in
defence of retaining the duty en- lun-
bcr secured several additional votes
for it, it was said, at the time the
House voted on the schedule. Cush-
mans acquiescng to rule for vote
on the PAYNE bill, with reduced rates
on lumber. assured its passage. In de-
scrbing his feelings to the House. he
likened them to a cowpuncher IN wy
omins, whose ability to raise 1000 cat
tie in one summer with one COW as Il
starter, caused n rope to be placed
around his neck by n vigilance COM
mittee.
'"They asked Bill what he had to
say" explained Mr.. CuShman. "Old
Bill rolled his quid into the other
check and said We'll. gentlemen.
suppose I'VE got more interest in this
performance than any other gent pres
ent, but l am the least enthusiastic
over the program.
The Washington congressman held
the title of being the homeliest man iii
the House and of looking more like
Lincoln than any other public man of
recent years In summing his career
once, he said he had been waterboy,
section hand. cowboy. school teacher,
lawyer and congressman. He was in
Congress for more than 10 years.

Chase :. Osborn that he will be a cam

hearty approval from his many friends
and AN citizens Of Michigan, who are
Interested in good government but
viii NOT altogether please the gentle
men already in the field.
At the primaries. Mr.. Osborn will
be Zoe who will have 10 be respect

ing OF the upper peninsula, his we'll

sonal friend maker-with all these
things 20 be credited to him in con
s.dcring the possibilities of the COM
ing battle, the gentleman from the
500 promises to be an adversary who
viii bear watching.
Mr.. Osborn is one of the kind Of
men who does everything he sets out
20 do well. He made good news
paper out of an ordinary publication
at the 500. Starting with no capital
but a pair of ready hands and an
alert brain, he has secured an ample
fortune and not cent of it gained
dishonest efforts.
As state game warden and rail-
road commissioner he gave the state
of Michigan clean, honest administra-
tons and piled up a large friendship
among the people which win be a
great asset i'm his campaign.
He is one of the kind of men who
smile at you and shake you by the
hand and you are his friend for life.
That Osborn smile and hand-shake
will be worthy Of mention even with
the Kelley smile also at large and not
the captivity.
Michigan seems to be assured of
good governor two years hence, no
matter what way the tide of battle
turns. With Osborn, Kelley, Mont
