The health department is insistent
every now and then in demand that
sewers and water mains be placed in
certain sections of the old Barry farm.
and recently backed up its request with
report showing that Ala people on
Sheridan avenue are drinking contami-
mated water.

they would willingly put in mains and

LARGER OIL BARGE NEEDED.
Change Made in Standard Company''
Chesapeake Bay Fleet.

Tank barge No. 3 Of the fleet of the
Standard Oil Company has been substi-
tuted for barge No. II, which for several
years past has been employed with barge
No. 80 in bringing oil in bulk from Balti-
more to this city. Alexandria, Norfolk
and Richmond The change was made
because No. is a larger barge. and al
certain seasons Nos. a and so are no,
large enough for the work.
No. was brought to Baltimore from
New York a day or two ago, and the tug
that brought her took No.. n back to
in the future. 1t is probable that No. /:

on the ground that the District does not
own the streets, this question will con-
tinue to arise in the future with more
frequency even than 1t has in the past.
1t is but question Of the time when this
matter will be a serious one for the
health of the section.
These roads have been used for many
years, but as the owners have been pay
ing taxes on them and the District has
refused to regulate or improve them, 1t

VESSEL AbLAH IN BAY
SISTER SHIP TO GENERAL SLO-
CUM CATCHES FIRE.

NEW YORK, July THE old wooden
three-decker Grand Republic, sister
ship of the Inflated excursion steamer
General Slocum, caught fire yesterday
afternoon while passing through the Mar
rows on her way to New York from Far
Rockaway, and hurried full steam ahead
with her whistle blowing continuous
succession OF short, nervous blasts and
smoke trailing behind her. for the Cres-
cent Athletic Club pier, on the Brooklyn
shores.
Her forty-f1ve passengers were all land
ed safely, and the fire was extinguished
with $4,000 damage. but there was grea,
alarm in the city and in the harbor until
the full details were known.
Everybody remembered how little
more than six years ago the Slocum
caught fire in the East river. when,
crowded with 1900 pleasure seekers
mostly women and children-she was
burned to the waters edge with 9Se
drowned, crushed or baked alive.
Fire Starts in Galley.
Yesterday. as then, the fire started. no.
body knows how, in the galley, just
abaft the starboard paddle wheel, and
spread quickly through the wooden SUI
perstructure. There was no panic The
women were badly frightened. but the
crew had no trouble in keeping them In
hand, and the children were SO pleased
with the music of the band, which kept
shore, that they never knew their danger.
The calls for aid from the Grand Re-
public brought fire boats. tugs, steamers
and q Brooklyn fire engine to the pier,
and the passengers were quickly put
ashore and the fire extinguished.

Corporation Counsel Thomas believes
that the streets that need water and sew

The District officials, therefore. consider
it would be unsafe for the District to lay
mains and assess their cost against the
property owners. There would be only a
aim cha nee OF collecting the money under
the present circumstances.
Mr. Hazen, who will prepare bill to
make these publicly used streets really
public so that sewers and water pipes can
be laid in them, says OF the situation:
The question as to these streets has
been before the Commissioners for years.
It has been reported by various depart
ments that they are not public. 1t il

continue to require water and sewers to

Appear Over His Signature.
DIDN'T USE WORDS QUOTED

NEW YORK, July 7.-Col. Roosevelt is
indignant that he has been represented
as indorsing Representative Poindexter
for senator from Washington. To a
number Of newspaper men in his Office
yesterday afternoon Col. Roosevelt gave
out statement in which he made cat
egorical denials that he had promised
his support to Representative Poindexter
in the latter's fight for the senatorship
from the state OF Washington against
Senator Piles.
Poindexter is a Pinchot supporter while
Piles declares for Secretary of the In
terror Ballinger.
Col. Roosevelt's indignation was
aroused by the publication Of interviews
with Poindexter and Gibson Gardner. a
magazine writer, who lunched at Saga
more Hill Tuesday. They quoted Col.
Roosevelt as saying that he would lend
his influence to Poindexter and that he
would continue to swear by the insur-
gents. Humping the desk with his fist,
Col. Roosevelt said:

me. l never used those words that Rep
resentative Poindexter is quoted as say

MOVEMENT NOT CHECKED

NEW YORK. July 7.-Ex-President
Roosevelt deals with Gov. Hughes. the
New York legislature and primary re-
form In signed editorial article in the
current number of the Outlook. MIR.
Roosevelt writes as follows:
Il believe that Gov Hughes has been
supported by the bulk of the wisest and
most disinterested public opinion as re-
CARDS most of his measures and positions,
and / think that this has been markedly
the case as regards direct primary nomi-
nations. l know that many honest and
sincere men are on principle opposed to
Gov. Hughes on this point. and 1 know
also that the proposed reform very pos
sibly will accomplish less than it's ex-
IRENE advocates expect; while / am we'll
aware. as. of course. all thinking men
must be, that the worth of any such
measure in the last resort depends upon
the character of the voters, and that
no patent device will ever secure good
government unless the people themselves
devote sufficient energy. time and judg-
ment to make the device work.
Finally, I freely admit that here and
there, where the principle Of direct nomi-
nations has been applied in too crude
shape or wrongheadedly, it has, while
abolishing certain evils, produced or ac-
centuated otherS-in certain cases. for in
stance, putting premium upon the law
ish expenditure of money.
Hughes Fundamentally Right.
But while 1 freely admit all this. l
nevertheless feel, in the first place, that
on the fundamental issue Of direct pri-
mary nominations the governor is right,
and. in the second place, that, as the
measure finally came up for action in the
state legislature, 1t was well-nigh free
from all objections save those of the men
who object to it because they are funda-
mentally opposed to any change whatever
in the desired direction. The bill provid-
ed only for direct popular action in the
primaries in relatively small geographical
and political communities, thereby max
ing the experiment first where there was
least liability to serious objection and
avoiding or deferring the task of dealing
with those big communities where the
difficulties and dangers to be overcome
would be greatest.
Moreover, while guaranteeing full lib
erty of individual action, it also provided
for the easy maintenance of party Or
ganization, and thereby avoided some
very real dangers-among them that of
encouraging the use of masses of the mi
nority party in any given district to die
tate the actions of the majority party.

Party Partly Responsible.

1.-THE republican party was In the ma
jority in both houses of the legislature
which refused to carry out the repub-
lican governors recommendations. and, al
though it was only a minority of the re-
publican members which brought about
this refusal, the party cannot escape a
measure Of responsibility for the failure;
but 1t is only just to remember that a
clear majority Of the republican members
Of each house supported the bill. whereas
three-fourths or over of the democrats
opposed it. This Is one of the cases
where 1t Is easier to apportion individual
than party responsibility.
Those who believe that by their action
they have definitely checked the movement
for direct popular primaries are, in my
judgment, mistaken. In its essence this
is a movement to make the government
more democratic, more responsive to the
needs and wishes of the people as whole.
With our political machinery it is essen
tial to have an efficient party, but the
machinery ought to be suited to demo-
cratic and not to oligarchic customs and
habits The question whether in self
governing republic we shall have self-gov-
erning parties is larger than the particu-
lar bill. We hold that the right of pOpu-
lar self-government is incomplete unless
1t includes the right Of the voters not
merely to chose between candidates when
they have been nominated, but also the
right to determine who these candidates
shall be.
