terrific explosion last Saturday Res
cuing parties are still working fercely
to get the men out. Their efforts have
been successful in rescuing a large num-

by the explosion, but thus far it has
been impossible to come at the fifty
two who remain in the mine. Efforts
are being made to keep them alive by
pumping air through such air passages
as were not blocked by the explosion.

Submarine Moving Picture Ma

Hawaii.

If all reports be true, Oahu is to en-
JOY scientific privilege and the honor
of being the first locality to test out a
new invention, namely, a submarine
moving picture machine.
There is in the process of perfection
in California, according to a local diver,
moving picture machine which will
take pictures under the water, and as
soon a il is perfected the first instru-
ment of the kind is to be sent to Diver
Martin Lund of Tahiti, Honolulu and
Pearl Harbor fame, to try out at Pearl
Harbor. and if it proves successful there
Lund viii take the machine among the
islands of the South Seas to make films
for the moving picture corporations,
which will be thrown on screens before
hundreds of thousands of interested
people throughout the world.
Lund is famously well known in these
islands, having the reputation of being
the most fearless and Most expert diver
in the Pacific Ocean. He is known IA
vorably all along the Pacific Coast, and
it is on account of his reputation for
fearlessness and deep diving that he
viii be the man first to operate the sub
marine moving picture machine.
The machine will be a contrivance
encased in a concrete shell, to enable
it to sink and to protect the works from
the action of the water, and il can, of
course, be operated only in waters where
there IS plenty of light. It is well
known that in the tropics or the semi
tropics there are places where there is
light, IN the lagoons, to a considerable
depth. Pearl Harbor, in places, has this
as have many other spots
around this Island and the other isles
of this group.
Lund Is something of an adventurous
diver. with all his carefulness and ex-
perience, aud it is his ambition, not
only to get moving pictures of the hun |

To tho -ditor of The Washington Times:
Sir: Representing many thousands OF

SENATOR GORDON AND HIS
REMARKABLE SPEECH.

It is safe to say that since the
foundation of the republic there was
never another such scene as was wit
messed in the Senate Thursday after
noon when Col. James Gordon, Senator
from Mississippi spoke TO his col
leagues The effort of the near-octo-
genarian was at once his Introductory
and his valedictory. He was appointed
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator MeLaurin, and now that his
successor has been elected by the Legis-
lature, he win soon 60 back to his home
in Mississippi
Colonel Gordon's speech was at once
a sermon and an oration; it united the
wise counsel of the father with the
fraternaI appeal of the brother. II was
not without reason that Senator Depew
of New York, himself master of the
art of or,tory and man versed in the
whole history of oratory, said of the
address:
at will live in the records of the
Senate as probably the most remark
able address, either of row Senator
coming in CT of an old oRs going out,
that has ever been delivered. It's pa
triotism sAd good fellowship, broad
minGedness, charity, and humor win re-
main among the best collections Of
{lrco ,r.bc bo~ II -
And that something ike this was felt
by the whole Senate'is proven by the
fact that it gave Colonel Gordon the
unusual tribute, from It, Of unre-
strained applause, which the Vice Presi-
dent made no effort to check
II is not easE TO single out one part
of the address of Colonel Gordon that
rises above another part, but there is
at least A profound appeal to US all
to lay aside the feelings of sectionslism
and forget any rankings left by the
civil war in the words of this man who
once wore the gray.

FEDERAL INSPECTION OF LO-
COMOTIVE BOILERS.

A subcommittee Of the Senate Inter
state Commerce Committee has been
conducting hearings on the bin known
as the boiler inspection bill This
measure would provide for inspection
of locomotive boilers by inspectors Of
the Department o. Commerce and La
Dor. Now, there Is no system Of Fed
eraI inspection. The railroad companies
are vigorously opposing the proposed
legislation. The railroad employees of
the country, especially the engineers
and firemeD are anxious for IL.
About 10000 locomotive engineers
are employed in the United States, and
they are for Federal inspection. Be
fore the subcommittee of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee the as
sistaut grand chief engineer of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
gave some startling testimony. He point
ed out that the need for Federal inspec-
tion was shown by the number Of acci-
dents from locomotive boiler explosions,
resulting in five years in 265 persons
killed ami 1856 injured. But more i'm
portant than this, Mr.. Wills in effect
asserted that it was the policy of the
roads in many cases, at least of the
master mechanics and officials directly
responsible, to send out locomotives
that were known 10 be defective, in
order to avoid delay, achieve economy
and. in short, do what Is generally
/ known as getting results" In such
cases, according 20 Mr.. Wills, If an en-
gineer gets through successfully, all Is
well IF not, and ne is caught with
the goods on" he is the scaPegoat, and
is the one who has to suffer the conse
( quences. Even if he does not lose life
or limb, he is likely to lose his job.
The railroad contention IS that the
Federal inspection Is unnecessary, as
/ the inspection of the roads themselve.
is ample, and that Federal inspection
would mean delay and loss of efficiency
In the light of the testimony being
brought ought. however, it is difficult Il
see how Congress can do otherwise thar
decide that the situation calls for a rem
edy, and that such loss Of life and suffer
ing. as well as other evils, as are caused
by the present system are too high &

Do NOT LET WIDOWS AND
ORPHANS SUFFER.

The District Commissioners and Con
gress should take prompt action in pro-
yiding for the deficit in the poIicemen's
and fremen's pension fund.
More than two weeks ago The Times
called attention 70 the fact that those
dependent on this fund would be un-
able to draw the full amount of their
pensions because the moneys derived
from the various sources which 90 to
make up that fund were not sufficient.
1t is quite apparent that the present
plan of collecting the pension fund is in
efficient. The bill introduced by Senator
Burkett sought to remedy matters, but it
has met with the disapprovaI of the Dis
trict Commissioners. A substitute
measure has been drafted and viii be
forwarded to Congress Immediately
1t is to be hoped that the House and
Senate District Committees viii see the
necessity of giving this new bill the
earliest possible consideration in COM
mitteefsnd reporting it favorably with-
out delay. There are many women and
children in Washington who are abso-
lutely dependent upon this pension
fund for their very existence. When
there Is a deficiency as large as that
for the month of March it means that
widows and orphans VIII be deprived
of money which they can III afford to
lose. The District government has a
sacred obligation to discharge in this
matter, and Congress must act prompt
ly if the District Is to be permitted to
DO its duty.

a NEW LESSON REGARDING
BANK SUPERVISION.

Nov it is the sudden insolvency of
nytional bank in Cambridge, Mass,
that calls attention to the imperative
nee5 81 careful and regular inspection
of the accounts of every banking in
stitUtion. The Cambridge case Is all
the more remarkable for the reason
that only the other day the Comptroller
of the Currency declared his belief
that practically every national bank IN
the country was in a sound condition.
That such would be a certainty if the
comptroller's instructions to bank Of
ficials had been faithfully carried out
is evident Vet in the Cambridge case
the shortage is reported to exceed the
combined capital and surplus Of the

NO doubt the Comptroller of the Cur

WHY NOT HONOR SMITH, AND
WHY RINGMANN?

There viii be more historical
trouble if the effort to have the ma
ton honor Matthias Ringmann as the
author of the name America" is
pushed forward determinedIy. The
honor has generally been given to
Waldseemueller, who, in the year 1907
or thereabout, published Vespucci's mar
rative as a part of the "Cosmographie
Instructio." The standard account
runs:
In this work he made suggestion
that inasmuch as NespuCiUs (uhe
Latin form of VespUcCi) had been the
first to make known this new south
ern continent. 1t might be proper TO
name the new continent America.
The new name was given only to the
newly discovered southern continent,
with no thought of then extending il
over the Islands Of the West Indies.
WaIdseemucller'S suggestion was en-
bodied in printed and manuscript
maps. a few Of which have survived
to the present day. The name gTadu-
ally became fixed in popular usage.
(The New International Encyclopedia,
vol Xxx, page 103-)
It is a matter of record that the
name America" first appeared on a
map drafted by Las Casas, the Span
ish prelate known in history as the
Apostle of the Indians, who, az a boy,
accompanied Columbus to the new
world in 1923, and who, in 1902, re-
turned to Hispaniola with Nicolas de
Ovando, the new governor.

in inviting the presidents Of al the

ion OF the community, the committee of
fifteen appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce for this purpose removed the
last particle of doubt as to their dis
interegtedness in the move, except as
it makes for the good of the District
al large.
ANY fear that some of the smaller
associations-smaller numerically, but
older and not less important in their
particular sphere-might feel that they

As the father Of the movement, the
Chamber Of Commerce deserves great
credit. Should the plan take practical
shape and the organization become a
permanent factor for good in the Dis
trict affairs, the Chamber can always
point with pride to the fact that it
was large enough and public-spirited
enough TO organize such n body.

CLEVELAND WINS HER FIGHT
FOR THREE-CENT FARES.

The election in Cleveland to pass
upon a proposed plan of settling the
rate of street car fares brought to a
close a controversy which has not only
stirred the city in question for fifteen
years, but, by reason of the persistent
efforts of Mayor Tom Johnson, haa
attracted the attention Of the entire
country. The plan submitted by the
recent referendum, and carried by the
largest majority ever given any man
or measure in Cleveland, is tentative
to a certain extent The street car
company is TO charge cents, with an
additional charge Of cent for trShs-
fer. It is expected that this charge
will yield a reasonable revenue to the
company-6 per cent on actual invest
ment-but at all events the rate can
not be more than 4 cents, or seven
tickets for a quarter.
Having been so much in the lime
light for a decade and a half, the
Cleveland street car system will be
watched with special interest hereafter,
and its earnings on the agreed basis
win be used in making the regulations
which viii prevail in other cities,
Whatever the direct merits OF the
Scent car contention, it has furnished
some interesting data for the study Of
the broad problem Of the regulation of
public utilities. It has demonstrated
that people are the masters and not
the servants Of the corporations, which
furnish those utilities.
