TILE ERE VERDICT.

The coroner's jury which held the In
ouest on the Washington Place fire was
composed Of men having special knowl-
edge of building conditions, and its ver-
dict therefore possesses special value.
It charges responsibility for some of the
loss Of life on Harris and Blanck, the
indicted proprietors of the Triangle
Waist Company factory, and that Is
only just They were responsible FOR
the locked doors which prevented the
escape of some of the workers and for
the crowded condition Of the factory
floor, which, as the jury finds, left pas
sages TO the stairs and elevator only
thirteen and quarter and sixteen
inches wide. This lack Of sufficient pas
sageway also made the escape OF many
impossible. The jury also finds that
defects of the present laws are respon-
sible for the catastrophe and makes
number Of carefully thought out sugges-
tions for strengthening them which de-
serve consideration, among the many
others that are being offered by the va
rious bodies engaged in studying the
fire with view to making conditions
safe in the future. But the jury's rec
concentrations, while for the most part
wise, do not seem to us to cover the
whole ground. For example, the jury
makes no recommendation for bureau
charged with the duty Of fire preven-
ton, but favors a concentration OF au-
thority over fire escapes In the Depart
ment Of Buildings. The catastrophe,
however, showed the need Of further
concentration than that Of authority
over fire escapes.
If the overcrOwding Of factories with
machinery, for example, is to be stopped
some public authority must be charged
with the duty Of preventing ii. Some
one, again. must inspect standpipes and
see that they are In condition for use.
And so, If the various lessons Of the fire
are made the basis of legislation. ade-
1uate means must be provided for the
enforcement Of such legislation. This
might be done by assigning some func-
tions to the State Labor Department.
others to the city Fire Department and
others to the Buildings department. But
this would mean expensive duplication
or triplication of inspections, requiring
large STATS, If the law is not TO be a
dead letter, and nothing like the good
result is to be obtained in this way that
might be accomplished by putting all
authority over conditions Of safety from
fire in one bureau or department, whose
responsibility would be plain and gener-
ally understood Protecting lives from
fire should not be an Incidental function
of somebody, or Of various bodies, whose
main functions are something else.

THE SUBWAY SITUATION.

Tho CITY IS once again at the point
where the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company's fat all threatens to go INTO
the fire. At such times there Is always
a general feeling Of optimism The dis
nosition is to say "at last negotiations
"are over, and there is a prospect that
something will be done But In the
past. lust when the Interborough was
believed to have served its ultimate
uItimatum and to have been served
with the city's ultimate ultimatum, the
Interhnrough has always yielded an
inch or two and negotiations have al
ways begun afresh. So 1t has been TOT
wears Who would be willing to predict
that it will not be so this time!
If the Interborough company does nor
accept the notifications OF its offer de-
manded by the city's representative
and accept them quickly Mr. Nc
Aneny's threat to break off negotiations
should be carried out. Not merely a
few months but years have been spent
In trying TO induce the lnterborousn
company to do what every considera-
t,or of fits own interest shorld impel 1t
to do. namely, extend. for the most
part in very profitable territory. its
present immensely profitable system
The old Rapid Transit Commission
spent its last years patiently laboring
with this task. Where it left off the
Public Service Commission took up the
work. The negotiations have been 60
ing on since a short time after the pres
ent subway was completed. Ever ana
again "club" has been used upon the
Interborough, but the clubs accom-
plished no more than the coaxing. Inc
public is tired of both alike. Let there
be an end of negotiations, whether they
issue in success or failure, as soon as
possible.

LAX DENTAL LEGISLATION,

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the public interest generally and
In that of the dental profession particu-
larly may have the privilege OF your COL
umns to call attention to three bills now
before the Senate's Public Health Commit
tee, which should be opposed by all who
disapprove OF admitting men by special leg
islaton to the professions Of law, medicine
and dentistry, entrance to which is regu-
lated by general statutes.
The three bills referred to are in form
general laws. In fact. they are the worst
sort Of special legislation. II enacted, they
will relieve from their present necessity Of
proving themselves possessed Of legal quail
fications for practice certain men who. hay-
ing been unable during the last sixteen
years 10 procure licenses, have practised
illegally q misdemeanor OF which some Of
them have been convicted. These men are
asking not the privilege OF becoming H.
censed after demonstrating as all others
must do. their educational qualifications
privilege that would be accorded to them
without objection-bu: they are asking spe-
cial exemption from the necessity of maxi
ing that demonstration. They are even de-
thdl tltlT persistent
violation OF law shall ne itself a ground Of
license. To assent TO that demand would
be unjust to the public and to every prac-
titioner who during the last sixteen years
has entered the profession by pursuing
often at much sacrifice. the required course
or instruction and passing the state exam
ination. 1t may be that the gentlemen who
introduced these bills. possibly By request,
did not appreciate their real intent and ef-
feet.
IL seems only necessary TO turn the light
upon these bills TO insure their defeat
Similar measures have been brought for
ward In the past and have died In commit.
tee when their purport has been made
known through the press and otherwise TO
the members OF the Legislature. These
pending measures win share a like fate. It
Is believed. II those opposed to such unfair,
special legislation will communicate with
their representatives at Albany.

AFTER. THE "SWAG."

It was needless for Senator Grady
to feel called upon to defend the "cour-
age" of the Democratic party In its
hunt for offices. As he said, the party
does not intend to see any one ger
away with the "swag." There is the
"swag" that is protected by Civil Ser
vice rules. BOSS" Murphy was called
in to consult with the Governor us to
.he way to get at that. 1t was cour-
ageous thing to do. The boss ana
the Governor are said to be in entire
accord about that "swag," which is Il
brave spectacle. And the State Clvli
Service Commission has accordingly
been made an instrument for rendering
"swag" plentiful and easy.
There Is "swag" on the bench. Some
doubts exist I'm Democratic minds
whether the constitution adequately
protects the tenure Of the Court OF
Claims judges. The legislative "can
opener''-we believe that is the latest
device for getting to a safe-has been
applied, and there is prospect or at
least a possibility, that this judicial
"swag" Will soon be available. The
"can opener" was used also on the
Bronx Valley Sewer Commission. and
worked with It's customary effective
ness. This "swag" will be appro-
priated. A courageous effort was made
to get the "swag" of the canal ter
minals commission. Bravery failed.
however, in that instance. for the
"swag" was cruelty destroyed, the COM
mission voluntarily going out Of exist
ence Less courageous, possibly. is the
Indirect way of going after the "swag"
by means Of the Governors bills reor-
ganizing the Highway and other COM
missions. The pretence of reform and
efficiency, however. does not deceive
Grady and his associates. They are

ARMS AND ARBITRATION

% Editor OF The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The almost unanimous approval OF
President Taft's suggestion OF a treaty OF
arbitration makes apt some restatement
OF what IS involved.
First Expectation is often expressed
that complete international arbitration
would be arrived at. but that some force
or international police to enforce the de-
crees would be necessary. Is that so?
1t has seemed to ,me. and I have ex-

DIFFERENT NATIONS. DIFFERENT
VIEWS

Much comment has been provoked by
the disclosure of radically different at
ttudes toward the questions Of arbitra-
tion and disarmament which are as
sumed by certain great nations. The
American proposals, which have been
made by President Taft, have been vel
coined with eagerness and genuine fer
vor by Great Britain and on both sides
Of the Atlantic there is an all but uni.
versal recognition Of the fitness and

likely to be perpetual In duration, be-

midway between these two in size and
comparable with either in civilization
and humanity, through her Chancellor
and press falls little short of scouting
the whole business as utopian. and il is
certainly much less likely that an arbi-
tration treaty will be negotiated with
her than with Great Britain.
The reason for this difference is prob
ably twofod. In the first place. the
German conception or estimate Of war is
different from the British and Ameri-
can. We do not say that Germans are
more warlike than their Anglo-Saxon
cousins. Probably they are less so, for

AIR PEACE.

The possibilities Of the aeroplane as
has for the moment taken the place Of
last years battleship scare in England,
are ominously foreshadowed in the
news from London that Sir Hiram
Maxim. Mr. Claude Grahame-White and
the French aviator Bl6riot are to conf
bine for the building cf military air
ships capable of carrying a load Of ex-
plOsives weighing one thousand pounds
in addition to the pilot and an engineer
charged with the delectable task Of
dropping the death dealing. property de-
stroying bombs with accuracy and dis
patch.
Fortunately, this plan is as yet only
theoretically in the air. There Is Still
time to prevent its realization. And, no
less fortunately. there are precedents on
which TO base the hope that some agree
ment concerning the exclusion of this
threatened horror from future warfare
may be reached. The brutal effectiveness
Of the expansive bullet led to the con-
certed prescription Of Its use by the civ
ilzed nations against each other. though
savages were excluded from the benefit
of this humane ruling. 1t is still more
pertinent that this very point of aerial
war was covered, at least Professionally,
by one of the declarations of the
Hague Conference of 1899. "to pro-
"hbit the launching Of projectiles and
explosives from balloons or by other
powers Of Europe have long had pol
Icy Of "locallzing" war, of preventing It
from spreading. as In the case of the
brief Greco-Turkish encounter in 1897.
Is it unreasonable to hope that the great
powers Of the world may agree to re-
strict the scope of warfare to land and
sea? A strong display Of international
public opinion might achieve this. Per-
haps II will. Let us at least have air
peace. If world peace is not vet to be.
The humanitarian argument need not
he used; the economic one will suffice.
The addition of this new means Of de-
struction to the old ones of fleets and
armies. If borne without protest by the
nations, will be the darkest blot on the
civilization Of the twentieth century
when its history comes to be written
But more to the point just now is
consideration Of the new burden that
would be added to the cost of armed
peace as well as Of actual warfare, and
to the apprehension of the peoples.
