Will NOT BE sRoWsEATEN.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Our forefathers were wise and
planned and built well for us, but with all
their foresight they did not foresee that
within $50 years. and when our population
would attain to 5000 900 and reach from
ocean to ocean. It would develop that there
is only one man among all Of us who is not
liar only ono man 1T for the Job OF saw
ing the nation. II We admit the fact or do
not resent II We are a nation OF Weddings.
Are We TO be browbeaten by the threat
Take mo or I Will wreck tho party and
possibly the nation? Is the Republic to be
subjected TO tho whlms OF one whose We
racity. friendship or promises are seemingly
things OF straw, TO the unbridled will of the
most tempestuously reckless. mendaclous
and dangerous character that has appeared
in American politics? The pity and also the
danger OF II all Is In the fact that there
IS any considerable number OF people so
blind as not 10 see through so transparent
a humbug, and that there is any consider
able number OF our inhabitants who for
place or profit are willing 10 play the
sycophant TO the throne OF the proposed
empire.
Taft is opposed by the moneyed interests,
simply because no vigorously prosecuted
the trusts. which he assumed to be the Will
Of tho people and the laws requirements
Taft is honorable. honest, reliable. trust
worthy. safe and sane and worthy OF the
confidence and support OF his party.

ruo,tdo sxit facilities equal to those re-

nrovide exit facilities equal to those re-
ouired Of new places. Existing places
would have to abolish their stages-rec-
ognized fire risks in theatres under any
conditions-and the cheap vaudeville OF
questionable character for which those
stages are maintained.
In the face Of these Improvements, IL
seems hardly fair to say that "all the
vicious features of the present theatres
"are untouched" Doubtless it would be
well if some of the others could be I'M
proved also, but that would be equiva-
lent to legislating most if not all OF the
existing places out Of existence. That
might be desirable, but is hardly possible
while they hold licenses to operate. AS
those licenses expire the places, TO be re-
licensed, must comply with the pro-
visions Of this ordinance, If it is adopt
ed, as it should be. 1t is not perfect, OF
course, but it provides far higher
standard OF safety and decency for mo-
ton picture theatres, present and pros
pective, than any previous law.

VAIN LATV-MAKING.

As result Of the Asch Building hor-
ror a committee Of legislators and others
sat for many months devising laws to
safeguard factory workers. At the last
session of the Legislature some Of the
results of their labors were placed on
the statute book. 1t was enacted,
among other things, that every factory
building more than seven stories in
height. having wooden flooring or wood
en- trim, in which more than two hun
dred persons were regularly employed
above the seventh floor should be fitted
with automatic sprinklers approved as
Ito form and manner in the city Of New
: york by the Fire Commissioner of such
"city. and elsewhere by the state fire
marshal"
That looks as plain as pikestaff 1t
applies in clear and unmistakable terms
to the city Of New York 1t imposes by
direct and specific mandate, not by i'm
plicatiOn, certain powers and duties on
the Fire Commissioner. SO far, says the
trusting citizen, all is well. Our duty is
done. The lesson OF the Asch fire is
learned. Our workers are safeguarded.
But wait. After the committee, the
Legislature and the Governor comes the
Assistant Corporation Counsel. What
has he got TO say about it? Why, just
this:
l advise you that the provisions Of
Chapter $50 Of the Laws OF 1912 are
not applicable to this city. and that.
therefore Won should continua 70 aver
else the discretion conferred upon you
by Section 1G2 Of the revised Charter
of 1901, and continued in you by the
ordinance Of December IS, 1912, re-
specting the installation OF sprinkler
equipments In factory buildings exceed
ing seven stories or ninety feet in
height. without regard to the said
amendment Of the labor law.
The Legislature proposes and the AS
sistant Corporation Counsel disposes.
His point is that general law, no mat
ter how specific its reference TO the
city as in this case, does not supersede
the local law-which in this case gave
discretion as to sprinklers to the Fire
Commissioner-unles the local law is
specifically repealed. 1t may be all so.
The tangle Of general laws and charters
and ordinances makes a maze In which
anybody but an Assistant Corporation
Counsel can ger lost. But 1t is all per-
fectly absurd nevertheless. Here we
have legislation Of unmistakable intent,
drafted by committee Of lawyers and
experienced legislators. suddenly turn

LESS COTTON
j. S. ALvERSON SAYS NOT TOO
LATE TO sow CROP-INCREAS
IN ACREAGE.

The recent rain was the finest
thing Imaginable on the wheat crop, "
stated j. S. Alverson this morning
Mr.. Alverson is one of the largest
wheat growers in the county and his
sheafs always carry off a prize where
ever exhibited. Mr.. Alverson stated
that farmers in this county were pay
ing more attention to wheat grow
ing than ever before and that the
acreage would be nearly doubled over
what it was last year.
He also stated that there would
have been much more sown had it
not been for the continued dry wealth
eI but that it was not too late to SOW
yet and expected to see many acres
yet sown this fall.
He stated that there seemed to be
tendency among the farmers to SOW
more wheat and pay less attention to
Cotton in the future. ~~

The mercury reached 80 above last

The farmers and cotton men are
happy, as yesterdays indications
were favorable Tor heavy freeze
which would have materially dam
aged the cotton crop. AS 1t is the
cotton is not materially damaged
and the rain was just what the
wheat grower wanted, as that crop
is greatly benefited.
This morning it is clear and
bright with constantly rising tenn
perature.
Cotton men this morning are still
sticking to their former estimates OF
the years crop for this section and
these estimates as published several
days ago are practically all above
the $4,000 bale mark, with the
chances good that the number will
reach close to 10000.

CHARLES CONWAY AND WIFE
CONFRONTED WITH BLOODY
GARMENTS OF MISS SINGER.
TWO KEPT APART
Police VIII Not Allow the Two to Talk
TO Each other-Woman Reported
to be on the Verge Of Mysteries
Nervous.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. ! Charles
Conway and his wife, who are want
ed in connection with the Singer MUIR
der, were brought here today.
Detectives kept them separated.
Both were confronted with the bloody
garments and objects from the muir
der room.
Conway refused to talk, save In
monosyllables,, while his wife. who
seemed nervous, talked In high
voice, being apparently on the verge
OF Mysteries.
The police say that the stories told
by the two do not agree.
Later a confession was obtained
from Mrs. Conway, according to the
police. She says Conway knocked
the Singer girl down with billy
made with a door knob in handker-
chief, with the intention of robbing
the heiress,' said the official. I'VE
thought she had more money than
she did. Charlie did it. All | did
was to throw a blanket over her when
we left. | didn't think she was dead.
the woman is also reported to have
told the police.
