We cannot recall any deterioration in

NOT A GOOD REASON
Opposition to Inaugural
Change Unconvincing.
WASHINGTON IS LIBELED
New York Tribune Takes Issue
With the Views Of Repre-
sentative Perkins.

From The New York Tribune.
The Washington newspapers. in our
opinion. have cause to complain, as The
Star does, of some Of the reflections
made in Congress on the good faith and
disinterestedness Of the people OF the
District of Columbia in urging a change
in the date of the presidential Inaugural
ton.
Perkins Is Quoted.
In his speech attacking the proposal
now before the House of Representatives
James B. Perkins Of New York. said:
Let us talk frankly, Mr.. Speaker. The
demand for the the pushing forward
of the Inauguration date from March 4
to the last Thursday in ApriD does not
come from those who think that the
sessions of Congress should be later,
not from those who desire the term of
one PRECEDENT to be extended two months,
but has come from an exceeding active
demand In Washington that better day
should be adopted for what has grown to
be a great fete day in this city :
A demand to amend the Constitution, in
order that there may he a better day for
Inauguration or a better day for Bar
NUNS circus does not excite in me any
strong feeling of sympathy"
Mr.. Perkins also suggested that the
financial advantage Ito hotels and cor
porations of the later date was the con
trolling consideration III the minds OF
the advocates of a now calendar
Washington Pays It's Due.
To this The Star rightly replies that the
Washington public as a whole does not
expect to benefit financially from the
inauguration, and that the capital gives
lin labor and thought and time and
money more than it can possibly get
as A recompense from the Inaugural ton
activities, whether they occur in March
or in April" Washingtonians undoubt eddy
pay now and will continue to pay ther
full share of the cost of inaugurations.
The people Of the National Capital are
also entitled to take umbrage at Mr..
Perkins equally derogatory charge that
Washington is :sem-tropical CITY,"
perilous to live in in the summer season.
1t must bring tears of pity to the eyes
of the great majority of the American
people. who live below the 42d parallel
of north latitude, to learn that in WASH
ngion, which lies a little below the 4Oth
parallel, a representatives. health Is put
in jeopardy by residence there between

CRITICAL DAY ARRIVES
Doctors Will Know Whether Gaynor
Will Suffer From Blood Poison

New York, Aug. 15.-The physi-
clans attending Mayor Gaynor in all
probability will be able to determine
today whether their patient will have
to pass through a siege of blood poi
soning as a result of the bullet fired
into his neck by James J. Gallagher,
or whether he will pass the crisis
without the poison faint and enter
upon period of convalescence to-
ward speedy recovery.
This is the critical day. Six days
have elapsed since the bullet of the
would-be murderer plowed almost
through the mayors neck as he stood
on the deck of the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse at her pier in Hoboken 3,
within few minutes of the time for
his departure for vacation in Eu-
rope
That usually is the period of incu-
baton for poison germs resulting from
bullet or stab wounds, and if his blood
should be found untainted by the poi
son when an examination is made this
afternoon or tonight, the critical point
practically will have been passed.
