Age Limitation Cut Out.

The House committee had amended the
bill so as to require that members of the
fire and police departments retired after
twenty-five years Of service must be
sixty years OF age to get the benefits Of
the pesion system, but the Senate cut out
the age Limitation.
The retirement board. the bill provides,
is to be composed of the surgeons Of the
police and fire departmetS and two off,
GERS Of each Of the two departments. the
offic to be appointed and to serve dur
ing the pleasure Of the Commissioners.
The heads of the District government
are given authority to approve. disapprove
or modify the findings Of the retirement
board and their decision is to be final.
Every two years the pensioners are to
be examined so that the Commissioners
can determine if their allowances should
be increased or decreased, and il PEN
sioner fails or refuses to be examined
the Commissioners may reduce or dis
continue his pension.
One of the final sections OF the bill
gives the Commissioners the right to call
for the services of retired members OF
either department at times of unusual
emergency.
Exempting Fireproof Buildings.
The committee passed favorably upon
the bill to relieve fireproof buildings Of
the requirements Of the fire escape law,
at the urgent request OF owners Of fire.
proof apartment houses in the District,
but it recommends the passage Of a bill,
approved by the Commissioners, slightly
different from the bill introduced at the
request Of the building owners.
1t was proposed by the apartment house
owners to adopt an amendment providing
that such buildings, except stores and
warehouses, as are defined under the
building regulations Of the District Of
Columbia to be fireproof are exemp ted
from the requirements Of this act as to
fire escapes, guide signs. lights and alarm
gongs."
AS reported by the committee. the pro-
vision will be that such buildings as are
defined under the building regulations Of
the District of Columbia to be fireproof
are exempt from the requirement OF this
act as to fire escapes and guide signs
when the stairways. elevator shafts and
means Of egress are reasonably safe in
the judgment OF the Commissioners"
The effec.S Of the amendments are to
give stores and warehouses that are fire.

lowed other freprOof structures, and to
leave to the judgment of the Commission
ers to determine whether or not a spe-
cific fireproof building shall have the
benefit of the exemption.

Effect of Failure to Act.

1T would be a deplorable situation and
would no doubt throw upon the charitable
public great many persons. many of
them women and children, who are entire
ly dependent upon the pensions received
under the existing law for the necessities
of life, and who would be deprived of
even these If Congress should do nothing
to relieve the situation the Commission
ers said in one of their communications.
"A pathetic phase of the situation" the
Letter continues. lis that there are 1O3
women on the pension roll. and all except
five of whom, SO far as the Commission
ers are informed, are entirely dependent
upon this allowance. There are seventy
three men on the roll, only about fifteen
of whom are not entirely dependent.

UNCLE SANS CHURCHES.

Although It is the common thought
that most of the men now working on
the great Panama Canal have left
their religion behind them in the
States, those who live in the Canal
Zone, writes a correspondent of the
Christian Intelligencer, know there
are many who observe the laws of
Moses and lead the same pure lives
they did at home.
When the canal was begun, and
President Taft, then Secretary Of
War, made his famous speech, saying:
I'VE must provide for the families Of
the men who are to build this canal,
or we shall have hell on EARTH" he
was even wiser than he 41new.
Family quarters were built, many
men brought or sent for their wives
and children, and it has paid Fam
lily life and the presence of good, pure
women in their homes have been pow
full influences for good.
These families coming from every
State in the Union meant that schools
and churches must be provided. Again
Uncle Sam met the need, and at every
town along the line of the canal built
school-houses and churches. Teachers
We're obtained from the States Chap
lains were employed to attend to the
religious needs of Americans.
Eight chapels were built, and every
one has at least one service each Sab
bath. These are two story buildings
with lodge rooms on the second floor.
The room on the ground floor known
as the church is capable of seating
about $50 people. A pulpit at one end
of the room, piano and some folding
chairs constitute the furnishings.
All authority rests in a body elected
bv the people attending the church.
The executive council of the church in
Cristobal is composed Of men of vari-
Gus denominations. There are one
Methodist, two Baptists, two Presby.

by hospital, though a few are clerks
and stenographers.
In Cristobal Church a social is held
once a month with a little entertain
ment or refreshments. These are man
aged by the ladies interested, and are
a means of welcoming the never end
ing newcomers. AS there are no fnan-
cial demands upon the church (our
fuel bill doesn't perplex us in the
tropics), these socials are never given
for the purpose of raising money. The
temporary feeling that prevails on the
Isthmus is not conducive to an estab-
lished church, as the average length
of time men stay is but two years.

FIRES AT FRENCH PREMIER
ASSASSlN'S BULLET FLIES WILD
 AND WOUNDS ANOTHER.
Missile Intended for Briand Wounds Director of Public Relief in
 Chamber of Deputies.

Paris, Jan. 18.-An unsuccessful at- tempt was made to assassinate Pro- mier Briand while the chamber of dep- uties was in session.
 A man who has not yet been identi- fled fired a shot at the minister from behind pillar.
 The shot went wide, but struck M. Mirman, who was standing beside the premier, and wounded him.
 M Mirman is director of public re- lief. The bullet struck him in the right leg.
 The attack on the premier threw the chamber into an uproar.
 This is the second time Briand has been assaulted within the last few weeks. On November 20 he was struck twice in the face by M. Lacour, Roy alist, during the dedication of the statue of Jules Ferry.
