WHY DO AUTHORITIES OPP.
POSE INVESTIGATIONS

Why do the District coroner and
the detective bureau oppose. a thor
Ough investigation Of the manner in
which NorvaI T. Harris met his
death2
1t Is a strange condition of affairs
to ind that officers sworn 10 perform
such duties, and paid out OF the pub
lie funds, are stubbOTuIy autagoui5tic
TO a demand 5or all the facts in a
case involving the death of a citizen
under at least suspicious circumstances.
It has been emphaticaIIy demonstrate
ed by The Times that the coroner-s
verdict that Harris committed suicide
was not based on complete knowledge
OF all the events bearing on Harris
death The hasty conclusion OF the
police was likewise formed before any
except a purely cursory inquiry had
been made. Evidence OF which the cor
Oner and the police were ignorant or
had ignored was dug up by reporters
Tor The Times, but even then 1t was
only by bringing the matter TO Major
Sylvester's personal attention that The
Times was able to induce the police
10 make further investigation.
This investigation, however, has been
made. and the report Of the. detectives
who made It has been submitted to
their chief and to the coroner On

In spite of the contradictory char

accepted It as the last word in the
HorvaI Harris mystery
The Times does not pretend to say
that Harris was murdered. Neither
should the coroner and the police. IN
the face of the evidence, say that Har-
ris took his own life. The Times
does contend that there Is sufficient
uncertainty as to the manner in which

REPUBLICANS IN COLORADO
SHOW GOOD JUDGMENT.

Progressive Republicanism gained a
State yesterday where there seemed. a
month ago, little likelihood that it
could command recognition. The Col
orado convention, Unexpectedly, turned
out 10 be in the control of the insur-
gents, and when the delegates adjourn
ed and started home from Colorado
Springs they had accomplished one of
the most effective jobs of bouse-clean-
ing that the party in Colorado ever
experienced.
A progressive was nominated for
governor and a progressive was nomi-
mated for Representative large. A
platform was adopted, demanding the
initiative and referendum in the State,
condemning Senator Guggenheim, and
indOrsing the tariff law, but declaring
for further revision as speedily as pos
si5le- The regulars had arranged TO
indOrse Senator Guggenheim and to
condemn the initiative and referendum
but the progressive majority OF the
convention turned the scheme into Just
the opposite channel
When it is remembered that Colorado
Is always a doubtful State, with Dem
OcTatic leaHings, the significance OF the
action of the progressives Is apparent.
II the regulars had carried through
their program the Republican candi-
dates IN the State would have had
practically no chance Of being elected
With the Republican candidate pro
gres=ive, however, with a reasonably
progressive platform behind them, Dem
ocratie victory at the polls becomes
less certain The party Is now IN
shape 10 invite support on the strength
OF its prOgressiveness-
Had the convention indorsed Gug-
genheim, nominated Teactionary for
governor and another for Representa-
tive at large, AMI declared against the
initiative and referendum, the people
OF Colorado would most certainly have
turned 10 the Democrats for relief,
Just as they did in Maine, where the
Republican party managers, for 50
many years, had refused to recognize
the demands OF the voters for reform

HEALTH IN ONE WASHING
TON ALLEY.

The self Made Merchant turned
a neat epigram when he said figures
don't lie, but that's because they can't
talk
One certain set OF figures, however,
does talk, and the story 1t tells Is
one that every Washingtonian viii
read with interest
Apropos the movement for the eradi-
cation of Washington's alley slums, The
Times has been investigating mortal
itv statistics. The record OF Willow
Tree Alley. which II Is proposed shall
be converted into an interior park OF
playground, Is particularly iIluminat-
ing
The records at the District Health OF
fee for the years 1905, 1907, 1908, and
1909 show that the average annual death
rate among colored infants under one
wear of age in Willow Tree alley was
1881 per thousand. The death rate
among colored infants of the District
for the same period was BOIL The
death rate among coIored children, five
TO twenty years of age, was l0-Tl in
Willow Tree alley, and 1916 IN the
District. The death rate among cOlored
people twenty-one years old and over
was 4S in Willow Tree alley,
and 24.Si in the District. The rate
for total deaths OF coIored people was
1890 il Willow Tree alley, against
27-56 IN the District
The death rate among colOred people
from typhoid fever was 60 IN the
alley. against "A IN the District; from
vhoopinc cough. 90 against Is; from
intestinal diseases, 1852 against PA;
from pulmonary tuberculosis, 6-Oi
against 4.54- The number OF cases OF
typhoid fever among coIored people
in the alley was 3O2 per thousand
against 2.49 IN the District
These figures should, IN themselves,
be sufficient to convince Congress of
the desfrability Of abolishing Willow
Tree alley as a residential community
The board for the condemnation Of in
sanitary buildings AS estimated that
1t viii cost S65,356,55 to convert VII
low Tree alley into an interior park
It recommends that the appropriation
be made for the purpose Of ascertain
ing whether this Is a practical method
for eliminating our alley slums- Ger
tafnIv the experiment Is worthy of
trial.
Mortality statistics, however, are
not necessarily the best argument for
the elimination OF slums- Lawrence
WELLER WHO has done such good work
in the slum campaign IN New York
city. tells Us IN his newest book, 'HOus-
ing Reform that the human element
should enter strongly into our work
in behalf of those who live in the con
cested sections. He says:
