Factorie. and Fire Drills.

To the EDITOR of the Evening Star:
Another fire scare. VIII the owners
of factories ever learn that to let
their employees spend a few minutes
every other week In q fire drill may
mean the salvation OF any number Of
lives in case of q fire or panic? The
plea of one factory owner is that the
drill takes the employees mind from
his or her work. What If they do talk
about the drill after they get back to
work? The employees while working
should be made to feel that their safe
ty is being regarded above all else.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
It's high time that the rule requiring
trolley conductors to he vac
rious streets along the different lines
was enforced. Time and again stran-
gers and passengers, unfamiliar with
the different thoroughfares. are taken
blocks and blocks farther than they
desire to go, simply because the con-
duotor keeps his mouth closed. On
stormy evenings, when the car win
dows are covered with rain, 1t is very
difficult to see where is riding. It Is
not taxing the conductors strength a
bit by asking him to comply with such
a simple rule. A VICTIM.

STRIKING AT CRIMINAL JUSTICE.

Pts HE Leavitt bill, introduced in the Senate last night, providing
Ii that trial juries in murder cases shall determine whether the
penalty in case of conviction shall be death or life imprison-
ment, imposes the duty of sentence directly on the jurors. AT pres
et the jury simply pronounces upon the question of guilt. The
bill is both vicious and absurd. 1t virtually abolshes the death
penalty in homicide cases and does it il a reprehensible way.

What Ais the F~ire-AIarm Boxess
10 the Editor of the Evening Star:
A number of people have been COM
menting recently on the difficulty ex-
perienoed in opening fire-alarm boxes.
It appears that the weather must have
affected the boxes so that the keys
have expanded or rusted or in some
manner become unmanageable. A story
is told of one man trying to turn In an
alarm a block from his home and after
failing to open the box he had to run
to the nearest telephone and give the
alarm. Luckily the blaze was not q
serious one and had almost been ex-
tinguished by the time the firemen ar
rived,
Some months ago the same thing
happened at the box. on Market and
Broad streets. This Is a serious mat
ter and should be attended to at once.
Failure to open an alarm box promptly
may cost the loss of life. no less than
property. 1t seems that some member

Although / have generally voted the

choose between Roosevelt and Wilson
this fall I will vote for Roosevelt, and
I know a great many Democrats who
will do the same.
Unless the Democratic party gives us
a man whom we can conscientiously
support there will be thousands who
will swing to the Republican side and
vote for the man who has been tried
and not found wanting. 1 am not a
Roosevelt man, although I voted for
him before, but I feel that it is UP to
the Democratic party to give us a man
whom we will not want to forgive and
whose we will not have to
forget. r. s. c.

Chicago, July 11.-Chicago business
men were handed the rudest jolt they
have received in years yesterday.
Mrs. Clara l. Brown of Chicago, de-
scribing herself as a widow with a for
tune in six figures" in search of a
husband. dealt that blow.
In letters to Mayor Gaynor of New
York and Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston
she appealed for aid in her quest de-
claring that Chicago men were not for
her.
Mrs. Brown appears to have lost all
respect for Chicago business men
when she won their money in business
for herself. With the money in her
. possession she turned to regard her
vanquished rivals, and for a minute
/ felt at a loss for terms to describe
them.
Finally she hit on word which she
believe fits their case.
. 1t is "Cornfed."
( And so Mrs. Brown says she turns
to the cultured east for a husband
who has the taste and education to
appreciate leisure and put it to its
best uses"
4 would prefer one with money, but
4 if he hasn't it that won't matter" she
adds.
/ In her letters to the eastern mayors
Mrs. Brown gave her address as the
| Congress hotel. At the hotel it was
said that while she got her mail there
she was not a guest.
Mrs. Browns letter to Mayor Fitz
gerald in part follows:
