these elevators to be dangerous to life
and limb, both from the condition OF the
safety devices and the fact that the In
closures of the elevators in the patent
and old post office buildings do not extend
to the ceiling. and passengers are liable
to be caught between the ceiling and
car. The chance of accident may be
considered remote in this respect, but
MANY persons have been killed and MAIN
ed in this manner. and no point of safety
should be neglected where an elevator Is
used for passenger service.
With this view Clement s. ECKER chief
clerk and superintendent of buildings of
the Department of the Interior. agrees.
He adds, as a further reason for the APP
preparation, that it will effect a saving
to the federal government, as the cost of
maintenance, repair and operation of the
four elevators TO be replaced is very
large.

MANY DIE OF PNEUMONIA

COLD WAVE.
Scarlet Fever Almost Epidemic,
With 1913 Cases Registered in the
District This Week.

The wintry weather of the last week
showed it's deadly effect on persons sus-
ceptible to colds in the large number Of
pneumonia cases which the physicians
are now attending. The health officer S
report for the past week shows that
seventeen persons have died of pneumonia
in the last seven days. Most OF them.

age. which in view of the relatively
small population during that age period
as compared with the population between
birth and fifty years. represents heavy
death toll levied upon those who have
passed the half century mark"
An odd thing about the deaths from
pneumonia is that only five OF them &C.
CURED in alleys. The death rate of the
streets Is generally much lower than In
the alleys. where the health inspectors
have not yet been able to bring things up
to the desired standard.
A Cold Weather Disease.
Speaking OF pneumonia, DR.. Woodward
supplements his report with this state
ment:
pneumonia is essentially a disease g.
cold weather. and, as the figures OF the
past week Indicate, Is pdTllCuIdTly ldSd1
among persons at both extremes of ...e.
The disease Is due to a germ, but in the
causation of the disease depressed vitality
on the part of the individual apparently
plays a more important part than with
respect to most other germ diseases. The
depression of vitality that leads to pneu-
monia is based not infrequently on over
exertion and subsequent exposure to cold
while in an exhausted condition. Alco-
hoIic stimulants. while they tend to re-
lieve the feeling of exhaustion by dead
ening the perception Of the drinker, do
not Increase his vitality, but tend to ia
vor rather than prevent the disease. In
habitual drinkers the disease seems more
apt to be fatal than among others.
Poor ventilation by tending to concen-
trate the infectious organism with the
badly ventilated space, and by further
more tending to reduce the vitality OF
persons in that space is probably largely
responsible for the frequency of this dis
ease"

STARKVILLE, Miss, January ID
Sheriff James and his posse of deputies
were compelled to shoot eight negroes
last night before they succeeded in get
ting a negro prisoner, Jim Beard, accused
Of the murder of an aged negress, from a
crowd OF blacks. who were bent on lynch
ing him. Beard was captured at Gads-
den, Ala, Tuesday. and late last night
was brought here.
When Starkville negroes heard Beard
had been captured preparations were
made for his lynching. and last night,
when Sheriff James and posse Of depu-
ties arrived here with the prisoner. mob
of blacks awaited his coming.
Just outside the jail the mob attacked
the sheriff and two blacks got hold of
Beard and started to drag him away.
The sheriff rallied his six men. and he
gave orders to shoot.
Wounds are Fatal.
The two or three negroes who had
hold Of the prisoner were shot Doctors
say their wounds are fatal.
Other members Of the black mob
closed in on the sheriff and his prisoner
and MT James ordered another volley.
Several more negroes were felled by bull
let's. This awed the mob. and before ii
could organize for another attack Beard
was landed in jail.
He is accused Of having murdered Mary
Larry. an aged negress. several days
ago. because she refused him food. Wade
Hampton, another engro. accused OF COM
plicity In the crime, was arrested this
morning.

OLD ELEVATORS UNSAFE
NEW ONES ASKED BY SECRE-
TARY OF THE INTERIOR.
Those in Patent, Pension and Old
Post Office Buildings Pronounced
in Dangerous Condition.

Pronouncing four hydraulic passenger
elevators in use in the patent Office. PEN
sion Office and the old post Office build
ings dangerous to life and limb. the Bee
rotary of the Interior has submitted to
Congress request for appropriations Of
$4,000 for the installation Of four new
electric elevators.
Accompanying the request, which was
forwarded in the usual way through the
Secretary of the Treasury, is a report
made to the Secretary of the Interior by
Chief Engineer ]. s. Hill.
THE elevators in both the patent office
and old post Office building Mr.. Hill
says, 'were installed about thirty years ago
and are now considered obsolete in every
respect. In consequence of their ancient
design and constant wear and tear of
thirty years of service. these elevators
require constant repair and renewal of
many parts. and it is but a question Of a
few years before the cylinders and other
parts will have to be renewed, which
would, in value. be at least one-half of
the expense of an entire new and up-to-
date electric elevator.
THE two hydraulic passenger elevators
located in the pension Office building are
also Of an antiquated and obsolete type
and are much in the same condition as
those in the other buildings.

URGES UTMOST ECONOMY
A. F. OF L. COUNCIL CRITICISES
APPROPRIATIONS.
Thinks Outlay by Congress Is Far in
Excess of What Is
Needed.

The executive council OF the American
Federation of Labor. now in session here
has adopted a resolution expressing the
view that the enormous appropriations
made by Congress are far in excess OF
what rigid economy would require. and
urging the utmost economy of eXpendi-
ture consistent with the proper admin
istration Of affairs of the nation. thereby
lessening the taxation and adding to the
comforts Of the wage earners. The reso-
luton further urges that the best eff
forts be made to forward and promote
arbitration by the nations Of the earth
for the adjustment of the international
questions which arise and fail of adjust
men. from the ordinary diplomatic chan
nels The resolution also urges against
war as q means of settling disputes be-
tween the nations OF this present era Of
civil zation.

census bureau some time ago declaring

this subject.

President Gompers was directed to COM

the American Federation of Labor that a

you can imagine what it will be if they get

To have man like Paul Morton giving

Sunday-school teacher who is an everyday
rascal.
Up in Boston there is historian named
John III. Stark who seems to be robbng some
of our mortals OF their halo
This man Stark has looked up the record
of some of our Revolutionary heroes, such
as BENJAMIN Franklin, John and Samuel
Adams. John Hancock and Patrick Henry,
and he charges them with doing certain
things that would be called crooked or GRIM
inal in this day and time:
BENJAMIN Franklin, it is stated, robbed the
mails and was fired from his job as Postmas-
ter of Boston, Patrick Henry was unreliable

business that he was a bankrupt at the age
of twenty-three, John Adams joined the

for political advancement under the new gov
eminent, Samuel Adams pocketed five thou
sand dollars of the taxpayers, money while
he was tax-collector of Boston, and John
Hancock embezzled large amount while
treasurer of Harvard University.
Stark offers proof of his assertions, and the
proof seems to be conclusive. OF course, such
patriotic bodies as the Sons and Daughters
of the American Revolution are up in arms
against Stark and he is being fercely de-
nounced for knocking our heroes from their
the task of proving Stark liar.
This will undoubtedly cause more racket
among the Daughters than the usual row over
the election of President, General or Queen
Regent, whichever the Boss is called, and it
will greatly advertise Stark and his book
While the Sons and Daughters are raising
a great row because Stark has told the truth
