PITTSBURG PAYS HEAVY
PENALTY TO "PATRIOTISM.

Pittsburg,-The total fire loss, ac-
cording to the underwriters of Pitts
burg. due to the independence Day
celebration, is estimated today at
$4,000. This does not include losses
less than 800.
The death list from accidents by
exploding fireworks remains at one.
An infant was killed while the mother
was watching a pyrotechnical display
at Schenley Park. a skyrocket
struck the baby on the head, fractur-
ing its skull. The baby died 80 min
utes later.
The list OF injured in and about
Pittsburg will total close to 400. OF
this number there may be several
deaths. All previous records in the
number of passengers hauled by the
street railway companies were broken
yesterday.
The hair-raising impromptu feat Of
an ironworker who climbed out on
the narrow thread cable that swung
200 feet high between the Frlck
building and the court house tower,
when the largest flag in the world re-
fused to unfurl, caused a small panic
among the hundreds of watchers be-
low. As the ironworker slid and
swung over the street in his effort to
break the flag to the wind, several
women tainted.

UNCLE SAM STARTS
RAID ON CHINESE LOTTERY

hington.--Charged with using
the United States mails for lottery
purposes, three Chinese shops were
raided tonight and their proprietors
arrested. In each place large
amount of gambling paraphernalia
was found.
The raid represented an effort of
the postoffice department to reach
the center of widely ramifying Chi
nese lottery scheme. 1t was expected
that it would be simultaneous with
similar activities in other cities and
it was planned as a result of many
days of careful detective work Of
postoffice inspectors. -.
Almost i'm the shadow of the dome
of the national capital and with
with hawk-like swiftness Inspectors
Kean and Barclay with a dozen de-
tectives and policemen swooped down
upon the places and threw the groups
Of Chinese into Consideration. The
six alleged proprfetors, Lee Hing, Lee
Sam, Lee Huen, Lee Hong, Lee Yu
and Lee Kim, were bundled into the
police wagon.
Great stacks Of supposed lottery
printed in green, were seized
in each place. The inspectors think
one Of the places raided was the
headquarters Of the alleged lottery
system.
With apparent Indifference to all
that was going on the crowd Of Chi
nese who frequented the shops sat
and looked on and denied knowing
anything Of such matters.

GATHERING STATISTICS Of FOURTH
Of JULY ACCIDENTS IN THE CITIES

Perhaps one Of the most striking
instances of modern newspaper
work may be found in the manner in
which Fourth of July accidents are
covered" by the newspapers of New
York. While at first glance, the
task may not seem particularly diff
cult, it must be remembered that
there are some 100000 people to be
watched, any one of whom may be
injured at any moment by the ubi-
.quitous firecracker of the small boy.
This task of watching for accidents
is given each year to what is known
as the New York City News associa-
ito. This was formerly local branch
of the Associated Press, but it is now
a miniature Associated Press itself,
and deals solely with the boroughs
of Manhattan and the Bronx, the two
largest boroughs, in point of popula-
ton, of the greater city.
In these two boroughs there are
about 40 police precincts and a dozen
public hospitals. The day before the
Fourth, the News association hires
enough tramp newspaper men"
with which the metropolis is always
filled, so that in addition to its own
force, it will have reporters enough
to cover each precinct and public
hospital in the two boroughs, About
80 men are hired, as two shifts are
run, one during the day, and one dur
ing the night These reporters are
instructed not to leave the precinct to
which they are assigned, and to make
their headquarters at the stationhouse
of that precinct.
Accidents Reported to Police.
Everything that happens in New
York is reported to the police The
patrolmen on the street who sees an
accident or a fire, telephones at once
to his precinct commander and the
details are entered on the station
house blotter, and then forwarded to
police headquarters. The reporters,
therefore, hear of all accidents at the
statlonhouse, and only in case Of fire
do they leave their posts to get fur
ther details. If a large accident is
reported, the News association hears
Of it from police headquarters, where
two men are constantly on duty, and
If the accident is Of sufficient serious
ness, a special man is sent out to
cover it from the office, or from the
nearest point where a regular member
Of the staff is located.
News Notes Brief.
The reporters assigned to watch
for accidents have instructions to send
in only the briefest bulletins to the
office on each accident. There the
reports are tabulated and sent out,
after having been mime5graphed, to
the papers taking the news associa-
ton service, pneumatic tubes connect
ing the office with the offices Of the
great dailies. The reporter in the

Chicago.-With three days cele-
bration of the nations birthday this
year, the remarkable fact stands out
boldly that the annual carnage has
been decreased to a great degree Ad-
vices from all points up to midnight
show that in all large cities new rules
and their strict enforcement have
checked the customary slaughter of
children.
Tn New York there were but four
deaths for the three days. In Chi
cago, usually drenched with blood
under the guise of patriotism, there
was not single death for the three
days. In Washington there were no
deaths and no injuries, and only the
smallest firecrackers were permitted.
Five Dead Near Boston.
Five deaths are reported from the
state of Massachusetts, one each in
Boston and other large cities. One
death is reported from Philadelphia.
The entire state of Oklahoma re-
ports but two deaths and nine injur-
les. Small cities in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania and far western locali-
| ties seemed most prolific in casual
ties this year.
In every case this can be traced to
lax police regulations. In all other
| large cities there were but few deaths
and a limited number of injuries.
The campaign begun by the newspa-
pers, medical associations and the
peaceful public generally five years
ago, is beginning ito bear fruit.
Laws Prevent Carnage.
This year, in the large cities, the
ak was laid to the root of the evil
when only a limited number Of rep
utable dealers were permitted licenses
to sell fireworks, and they were strict
ly forbidden to sell to children or ir-
responsible persons. giant crackers,
toy pistols dynamite canes and SINH
lar deadly weapons. The beneficial
result shows in the great decrease i'm
mortality.
Chicago proposes to go a step far
ther next year and compel all pur-
chasers of fireworks to register, as
they are now compelled to do when
they buy firearms or deadly eXplo-
sives. If this law becomes effective.
the police will know in advance just
what points to watch for trouble.
Rains Aid Campaign.
Nature combined this wear with
the forces of law and order to save
life and property. Copious rains,
fairly general over the country prob
ably saved the Insurance companies
many thousands of dollars and also
dampened the careless ardor of cele-
brants.
There doubtless are many cases of
injuries at picnics in remote localities,
news of which will not be available
for some days. Presumably a. num-
Der Of these accidents will eventually
result in death. The list of tetanus
victims is compiled in August. Vic
Tins of July accidents who survice
the month of August are likely to re-
cover and are not classed in the lists
as July deaths.
In any event, basing the estimate on
advices at hand at midnight, the list
this year will be far below former
years.

SAYS THE SUPREME
COURT IS ROTTEN"

Olympia, Wash.-"Rotten is the
only word that will express the ac-
tion of the supreme court in these
cases." declared Attorney Herbert
DeWolfe today before the legislative
committee investigating the court.
THESE decisions were directly against
the constitution and the laws the
judges in their official oaths had
sworn to obey. The decisions were
made on behalf of the Seattle Electric
company and resulted in West Seattle
having to sell its municipal plant to
that company"
Addressing Representative Palmor,
one of the committee, DeWolfe said:
you dare not vote in favor OF this
committee recommending report
which will criticise the court. Your
clients, the Seattle Electric company
and Puget Mill company, would not
let you do So"
Cannot Whitewash.
Later DeWolfe said: "You may
try to whitewash the court but tell
you no coat of whitewash will pre-
vent the stencil filling the state. These
cases I have called your attention to
prove absolutely the court Is corrupt
and no palmer evidence could ever
be brought to show that a judge has
violated his oath of office.
The charges grow out Of the su-
preme court decisions in cases in
which DeWolfe appeared as city at
torney of West Seattle.
The day before a special election
to take in adjoining territory Superior
Judge Yakey at Seattle enjolned the
city officials from proceeding. De-
Wolfe advised the officials to pro-
ceed in the name of the state. as the
law provides. The supreme court
sustained the decision, holding the
election invalid and DeWolfe saws
this is also a violation of the law. as
such a holding would prevent any
elections being held If courts so de-
sired
Sessions which began yesterday af-
ternoon lasted until after 10 last
night, resumed at $3.50 this morning
and will probably continue late this
afternoon.
Makes Telling Point.
One of the points he brought out
which particularly impressed the
committee was that he argued mo-
tion before the supreme court late
one afternoon and that same after
noon before there had been time to
examine the briefs Or authorities cit
ed, DeWolfe says attelegram was sent

against him.

REVISED REPORTS OF
FATALITIES OF FOURTH

Chicago Revised reports of the
harvest of death and injuries due to
the three-days' celebration of the ma
tional birthday show the toll is heavy
but is still less than one-half the
number killed last year. Reports to
date show rs dead and 2774 injured
and returns from picncs and other
small celebrations in remote places
will likely be accompanied with cas-
ualty lists.
The number of injured is still less
than one-half the number last year,
and the fire loss shows marked i'm

figures prove that the sane and safe"
idea is taking hold Of the entire coun-
try.
