Tho resolution proposing amend
ments TO the Virginia Constitution pro-
viding for the initiative, referendum
and recall. which was voted down in
the House of Delegates yesterday, was
al least able to command fifteen votes
In that body. If the recall had bcen
left out it Is probable that the reso-
luton would have had greater sup
port. but IL was never supposed by
any ono that II had tho slightest pros-
pect of passage. 1t was introduced only
as starter. with the idea that agita-
ton would have tendency to get il
discussed and with the expectations
that such discussion would make it a
live issue by and by.
The great majority of the LcgiSla-
ture, however, appear to have given no
particular attention to these subjects,
and content themselves with regarding
the whole program as entirely too
radical for Virginia. Nevertheless.
some of tho members who voted
against the resolution did not hesitate
to predict that sooner or later this
state would full in line with the SEN
timent for these things. which has
made such remarkable progress in the
Western part of the country. II this
be true It is yet question for the
rather distant future.

In which II has been adopted it is de-

as woll as to statutes. The Constitu-
ton of Maine, which contains the

to be dealt with by the initiative.

another, been practical by all of the

COULD mot SETTLE
1REASURERS' FEE
Bills to Fix Commission on
School Funds Killed in
Committee.

Efforts to get legislation making
clear the commission allowed to treas
urers for handling tho school funds
failed OF approval in the House Com
1nittee on schools and Colleges yester-
day afternoon. The bills, offered by
{. W. Throckmorton and w Bullitt
FitzhuGh. were intended to set the
matter straight, IN Wow OF the recent
complications over the compensation
OF Treasurer Hochler, of Hsnrico coun-
~.
Both bills were designed to separate
HE funds, SO as to allow the treasurers
per cent. on the county fund and 5
Jicr cent. on the schcol :und, both up to
$4,000, and then 3 l-2 per cent. for
amounts in excess. This proposition
waE supported by Deputy Treasurer T.
!. Todd, who thought tho treasurer
should have the extra amount and
said that Mir. Eech!er only wanted tho
Legislature to make the law clear. The
position OF a comma Is said to be the
point in contention. One attorney for
The Commonwealth In Henrico, with
on" Attorney General, had ruled one
way. and another attorney for tho same
county with another Attorney General
had ruled directly the opposite
Division School Superintendent Ar
thur D. Wright appeared. and said
that ~ was not a question of Inisap-
nropriat!on. but OF legal construction.
He with school Trustee e. L. Roder,
believed that la per cent. on school
funds direct waS enough. and suggest
cd that the bill he amended TO this ef-
3cct, thus ruling against the contention
OF mir. Hechler.
The committee preferred NOT TO tam

a company of sad-faced men and wom-
en- and curious summer boarders gather
in Gloucester to take part in a cere-
mony such as can be witnessed
nowhere else in the United States, 1t
is the annual memorial service for
the deep-sea fishermen who have per-
ished at sea- Not more than 6OOJ
men go "out from Gloucester" to the
deep-sea fisheries, yet during the last
ten years the names of more than 600
Gloucester fishermen have been read
lat these services. In time of war
such a loss would fill the land with
mourning, but in Gloucester it is sim
ply counted as the cost of a peaceful
industry.

tanned the advice that the Crown of
Arragon suffered some severe damage
to her decks and Scr,n slight damage
to her cargo. The vessel encountered
some very rough weather in the Eng.

her about four weeks.

This toll Of the sea from those who
gather her harvest is not ALL for other
brave men were lost whose names
were not read at the services and for
whom no flowers were strewn by chill
dren upon the receding tide. These
fishermen died in bed in marine hos
pitfalls, attended by nurses and pro
vided with many comforts Yet they
lost their lives through the dangerous
nature of their calling, just as GER
tainly as their comrades in the dories
that went astray or in the schooners
which foundered on the banks. Many
of them died from illness which the
resources of modern medicine, if they
can be applied in time, are quite suffi-
cient to cure.
Besides those who die many fisher.
men are badly MANNED through in
fected wounds, which could be treated
so successfully were they received
ashore that only the slightest perma-
nent effects would follow them. When
a giant sea boards little schooner a
broken bone or two is very likely to
be included in the wreckage. Frac-
lures which have to be neglected for
days and even weeks until port is
reached have a very different outlook
from those which are promptly cared
for
The lists which are read at Glouces-
ter tell of loss of life which is in
evitable.
DR.. l.. l.. Williams, the surgeon in
command OF the United States Marine
Hospital at Boston, has presented TO
the surgeon general a plan to extend
the work of the marine hospital serv-
ice so as to give relief to the fisher
men when it will do him the most
good.
1t is proposed to build a schooner
of the best type, provide her with
ample auxiliary power, fit her with
complete little hospital amidships and
with all the equipment necessary for
giving medical aid at sea, and to send
her out to patrol watery beat, which
will bring her into communication at
frequent intervals with the deep-sea
fishermen of New England from The
Georges to Banqueheau in winter and
to the Grand Banks in summer.
Manned by skipper and crew VINO
have been fishermen themselves and
who know the banks as a landsman
knows his own back yard, it would
be possible to cruise TO such advan-
tage that 80 per cent of the vessels
in this wide area could be spoken in
clear weather
1t is of course, for Congress to say
whether this plan can be carried out
or not. 1t has been shown in other
countries that the part of the loss
which is due to the lack of medical
care can be greatly reduced. If it is
possible for an initial expenditure OF
$4,000 and for an annual outlay of
from $4,000 to $4,000 to keep a thor
Oughly efficient hospital schooner on
che American banks the year around
it is difficult to think of an adequate
reason for deferring such relief much
longer
