TO EXAMINE THE INSULATION
HIGH-POWER ELECTRIC WIRES
TO BE INSPECTED.
Investigation to Be Made to Deter
mine the Existence Of a Menace
to Linemen and Others.
Duncan q. Fletcher.

Walter c. Allen, District electrical en-
gineer. has given orders for a Thorough
and careful inspection of high potential
electric wires in the District, with a view
to determining whether they are properly
insulated or not. The work will be taken
up at once under the direction Of w. Z.
Blco. superintendent of the electrical de-
partment. and will take several weeks
Electrical Engineer Allen announced
that this inspection is undertaken because
OF the storm of inauguration day. which
affected SO many wires. The insulation
of wires. although 1t may be considered
good, is easily worn off in a storm if the
wires come in contact with other wires.
with trees, branches or with other SINH
lar distractions. To have the insulation
worn off makes them dangerous
Regulations for Wiring.
The regulations for electrical wiring in
the District require that all wires carry
ing a powerful current shall be properly
insulated and that bare wire at joints
and connections of two wires shall be
properly wrapped in insulation material.
These connections are usually made at
poles and other places where repairmen
are compelled to work, and therefore are
dangerous unless the insulation is good.
One Of the special dangers following a
storm Is contact between a high potential
wire from which the insulation has been
worn and one of low power which is not
required to be insulated. When contact
is made. during storm which breaks
and bends wires. the strong current
passes into the non-insulated wires and
makes them a menace. This danger is
apparent, 1t is declared. when repairnen
are sent out to straighten out the lines
and find a non-ins ulated wire that has
a powerful current.
Effect Of Inauguration Day Storm.
The storm at Inauguration time was
particularly damaging to wires and many
were pulled down or out of place. And as
a general result, 1t Is believed, some in
sulation was worn Or torn off.
When exposed high-potentiaI wires are
discovered. 1t Is explained by officials of
the electrical department.. notice is serv-
ed on the owners to put on the proper in
sulation. The companies selling electric
ity in the District, it is declared, are very
prompt in making such repairs But the
law provides that in case no attention is
paid to the notice, court prosecution will
follow. The fine prescribed in such cases
Is In accordance with the length of time
the condition is allowed to remain.

RARE TYPE OF CRIMINAL.
Man Serving Sentence Demands That
He Be Guillotined.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BORDEAUX, March 22.-Joseph Grau,
who Is serving a sentence OF three years
Imprisonment for assaults. is proving
himself rare type Of criminal After his
conviction he wrote insulting letters to the
officials of the court where he was con-
yicted, and for this he was ordered to
undergo a further years Imprisonment.
He appealed against the sentence, de-
claring his innocence. The court was in
clined to pay little heed to his protesta-
ton. when, suddenly. to the establishment
of all present, the prisoner demanded that
he should be sent to the guillotine. Some
what sarcastically the judge replied that
he felt sorry he could not comply with the
unusual request
Eyes. you cam" answered the prisoner
And he went on to accuse himself of the
murder Of an old woman at Montpelier in
1897. and he concluded. Il insist upon
being executed.
On inquiry by the police it was found
that such a murder actually was commit
ted, and that the culprit was never dis
covered. 1t is possible. therefore, that
the prisoners request will be gratified.

CANTATA WAS A TREAT
Little People Provided Royal Sur
prise for Their Friends.

The cantata given at the Auditorium
Christmas night reflected great credit
upon every participant, and upon the
committee which had the affair in
charge The attendance was the larg-
est that has been seen in the building,
every seat being taken and the gallery
nearly filled long before the curtain
raised. Possibly some may have at
tended expecting to be bored, or for
mere diversion, but such were happily
surprised. They soon realized that it
was an entertainment, and very meri-
torious one. "Who would ever have
thought American Falls could have
produced such an entertainment, and
many kindred expressions were heard
as the people were leaving the hall.
A number of people remarked that cit
would require the best efforts of a good
writer to properly report the entertain
ment, I" and such is true. In fact, a
camera and a monograph are the only
things which could do it justice.
The audience gave ample evidence of
appreciation, not so much by applause,
which was liberal, as by the perfect
quietness which prevailed. The lights
were turned off from the hall and fee
