WRITES STORIES ON TRAIN
Epes Winthrop Sargent, Author OF
Magazine Articles, Finds Conven-
fence in Equipment.

Stenographers on railroad trains
and all of the conveniences that a
modern hotel would afford have at
least lightened the burdens Of the
short story writer's, according to Epes
Winthrop Sargent, who was visitor
in San Antonio the last week. Mr..
Sargent was here gathering material
for stories that will deal with San
Antonio and the Southwest. Some of
these stories will be fiction, others
will deal with the facts.
1t has been more than a quarter OF
a century since Mr.. Sargent last Wis
tied San Antonio, and he found
changes that were a great revelation.
when I first visited Texas in 1884,
my experiences were of the kind usual
ly found on the frontier. rode in
one of the little railroad cars in use
at that time, behind spark-throwing

reached San Antonio / was tired and
worn out, but the town was lively
enough to wake me up to the realiza'
tion that here was the nucleus for a
future metropolis.
The other day when l arrived on
the Sunset limited we made only one
stop between New Orleans and San
Antonio, and the running time was
'cut down fourteen hours. | had the
services of stenographer, whose
presence made it possible to write a
complete story during my trip. | had
my bath and shave in the train, and
the excellent meals in the diner were
great transition from the dingy
lunch counters and eating stations Of
years ago. And there is nothing | need
say of the service, for it was equal, If
not superior, to any in the country.
So, you see, when reached San An
tonic this time l arrived refreshed and
clean and was 10th to leave my COM
Portable and luxurious surroundings
an San Antonio, however, my sur
prise was complete, for even in my
most sanguine imagination years ago
could not have pictured the San An
tonic of today, for the development
has not only been rapid, but along
beautiful and substantial lines. So
you see l am thoroughly delighted
with my visit because it affords splen-
did material for number of stories
that will deal with the San Antonio
of yesterday and the San Antonio of
today. | am glad to see that much of
the atmosphere always characteristic
of San Antonio is still preserved
From San Antonio Mr.. Sargent went

HELD THE LINE
FOR SIX weeks
Early Bird Politicians of Both Parties
Hope to Catch the Worm
at Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 9.--Lorimer republic
ans stole a march on other factions
of the party by being the first to file
nomination petitions for all county
offices today. For six weeks the Lori.
mer men have kept positions in night
and day relays at the doors of the
office of the county clerk in order to
get first places on the republican pri-
mary ballots. Today was the first day
for filing petitions for the primaries
sixty days hence. The first day for
filing petitions for the city primary
is March IL, and the Lorimer repub-
licans are also keeping watch at the
office of the board of election com.
missioners and will continue the night
and day vigil for over month.
Roger c. Sullivan's regular demo
cratic organization also scored point
on the Harrison democrats by the
same tactics employed by the Lorimer
republicans and were the first to file
democratic nomination petitions to-
day. The democratic watchers have
been in line for six weeks.
The Lorimer men filed blanket
petition with the county clerk contain
ing names of all county candidates
of the Lincoln Protective Republican
League of Illinois. The league does
not formally select its candidates I'M
til tomorrow, when a convention will
be held, but the slate was prepared
for filing today and will be merely
endorsed by tomorrow's convention.

ASKS $4,000 TO
FIX Up TREASURY
Assistant Secretary Urges House to
Appropriate Money for Much
Needed Repairs.

An appropriation OF $4,000 for repairs
/ in the Treasury and winder buildings is
urged in a letter received yesterday by
the \Speaker of the House from the AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury. The
letter states that the ventilating system
of the Treasury is inefficient; that some
Of the rooms are insanitary; the water
supply system is antiquated and costly;
the wiring system is a constant menace
because of the danger from fires, and
the elevators are oct of date. 1t is fur
ther stated that the heating plant in
the Winder building is old and far from
economical.
II the appropriation is granted, II Is
stated, the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury will be instructed to draw up
rlans for a steam and hydraulic power
producing plant for the Treasury and
Winder buildings; electric elevators will
be installed, the buildings will be re-
wired. and adequate fire systems in
stalled.
1t is recommended that the old water
coolers and single drinking cups in the
Treasury be abolished, and a modern
water cooling plant, with bubbling foun-
tains in each room and corridor, be in-
stalled.

PROPOSED In BILL
Gallinger Introduces Measure for
Making Extensive Improvements
Near Rock Creek Park.

Senator GaIIinger, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, yesterday In
troducSd a bill providing for important
street extensions and improvements in
the vicinity OF Spring road, between New
Hampshire avenue and Twentieth street,
and the intersection Of Sixteenth street
and Piney branch The proposed i'm
provements include the establishment Of
driveway between the Soldiers Home
and Rock Creek Park, and the rebuilding
Of the entrance to Rock Creek Park
from Fourteenth 10 Sixteenth streets.
The bill was drawn by the District
Commissioners. and in a letter to Sena-
tor GaIlinger 1t Is urged that the meas
ure be given speedy and favorable con-
sideration by Congress. 1t is estimated
by the Commissioners that about ST
acres OF land will be required to make
the extensions and improvements pro-
posed, and its value Is estimated at S5I-
00. The bill specifies the cost OF the
land and OF the condemnation proceedings

she said in criticism OF the play.
And her opinion hit the nail on the
head exactly.
Had the situation been reversed the
playwright would have had the man for
given undoubtedly. He would have had
to have him forgiven in order to make
the thing true to life.
When 1 asked this woman who said she

/ has met with unbroken SUCCESS not only
In its Washington enlargement last week,
but for more than a year and a half in
New York. The main theme OF the story
Is familiar enough. A sIde-stepping hus-
\ band Is forgiven his breach of faith by
the wife he has wronged because of the
child which binds them together The
wife forgives him and society condones
his transgresslon of the moral law. He
takes his own offense lightly and is In
tolerant Of his wife's slightest reference
to It.
Then, in a revengeful, splteful mo-
ment, the young wife is guilty of an
indiscretion which has but the SEM
blaice of wrong. Without waiting for
proof. the admittedly guilty husband
leaves her, refuses TO listen to the inter
vention of friends, and poses as the most
abused and outraged man on the face OF
the globe.
In the end, the one big man in the
story. a physician to souls as well as to
bodies, teaches the man that "As a
man thinketh IN his heart. so he is.''
He teaches him that the wife is guilty
only in his thought, and when the hus-
bands mind is purgec Of its prejudice
and injustice the little family is re-
united.
Some Of the lines spoken by the doctor
lift the performance TO a MAGNIFICENT
height, but even the splendid truth of
the words of the Nazarine, as spoken
by the character. does not obliterate the
vital truth the play portrays-that this
is a mans world; that he may live by a
set OF moral laws all his own, while he
eXacts obedience of those set for both
man and woman by God by the woman
who companions him along life's way.

this. Every woman knows II already.

Mr.. Cooper strongly advocated the
study of-municipal problems. with a
view to discovering some method where
by citizens Of the District can secure
the opportunity Of carrying on their
local affairs.
"WashingtonS has number Of vital
problems," said Mr.. Cooper. which re-
quire a remedy, and should be taken to
some legislative body. The thoughtful.
patriotic, Christian men Of Washington
should study the problem of municipal
government and endeavor to find out II
there Is a division that can reasonably

DR.. DevIne's Reply.
DR.. Devine said: The committees in
Congress that have to do with Washing.
ton questions will pay attention to well
crystalllzed public opinion on those Ques-
tions. Members of Congress come and
go. They don't last forever, but the pub
lie opinion Of Washington should last
forever and should constantly grow in
clearness. I don't see any reason for
pessimism about the problems confront

the high death rate, &C. There isn't
anything along these lines in the
way OF legislation that the people want
