ROCKS IN THE POLITICAL CHANNEL S.

After six months of efforts, the conferees OH the
joint resolution for constitutional amendment es-
tablishing direct election of Senators have given up
They will report disagreement.
The conference failed because of the Senate
amendment retaining Federal supervisory authority
over these elections. That amendment will be
stricken out by the Senate, only majority vote be-
ing necessary for this; but with it OUT there is most
serious doubt whether the two-thirdS majority neces-
sary to pass the changed resolution can mustered
If this resolution dies, its ghost will haunt the
Republicans in the coming campaign. They can
not afford such mistake.
1t is an ancient trick, this of pretending to be
friendly to a measure while loading it with amend
ments that will kill it, but the people will not submit
to it in this case.
Another serious menace to the Republican
p-ry is presented at Albany. Last year the Legisla-
ture of New York. being Democratic, ratified the in
come-tax amendment tc the Federal Constitution
This year the Legislature is again oepubcar
and serious effort is afoot to rescnd that ratifca-
ton.
Let the Republicans in New York do such a
thing, and whether it affects the final outcome or
n"t it will prune down the Republican chance of
carrying the Empire State to about the vanishing
point, and inure the party irreparaby in many other
places.
This is no time to play the tricks of dishonest
insincere, crooked, dirty politics. lie party caught
at them will pay their penalty.

THE COMPLEX MENACEs OF CITIES.

three-foot water main burst in New York
street. The flood found vent through fault in the
great rock which is Manhattan Island and broke out
in the basement Of block distance away, used
as stable and garage. Twenty-seven horses were
drowned and about 100 autos ruined
But that is only an incident. Gas mains we're
snapped off like pipestems, conduits carrying eec-
trio light, telephone and service wires were broken
sewers were flooded, and then wrecked by the force
of the waters. Over wide area of the upper west
side OF the town, where great apartment skyscrapers
house people by the thousands on every square foot
of territory, gas was turned loose in places whose
inmates were asleep. Those who awakened and
sought safety could not light their apartments gas
was not flowing, current would not switch on The
telephones in most cases would not work; electric
elevators were out of commission.
In short, the entire economy Of densely popu-
lated section of the city was out of gear-wrecked,
for the time being by accident that ordinarily
would seem trifing The district had to be searched
house by house and room by room to make sure
that many people we're not asphyxiated, and to be
patroed with utmost care that reckless or ignorant
people should not light escaping gas and add to the
dangers.
The incident illustrates the fearful dangers in
the complex living methods of cities. Floods in
Paris have recently demonstrated possibilities that
no human foresight could anticipate. The Equitable
fire made the world shudder at thought of what a
Manhattan conflagraton might become.
We need not 60 back to the sacking of Rome
or the Partisan mob rotng through the Tuileries to
realize that the great city is the center of the most
unmanageable, ungovernabe, least reliable aggrega-
ton of both social and physical elements that has
ever been brought together.

R|X-Y WILL Be HELD
At TAUNTON UNTIL
HOSPITAL IS DONE
Marion Institution Not Fin
ished-Former Banker
Denied Bail.

Through an order issued in the Alex
andria corporation court by Judge Lewis
c. Barley at noon today, c. Jones
RiXey. the former banker, is remanded
into the custody of Robert II. Cox, city
sergeant, pending the result of an ap-
plication made by that official for Rix-
ey's confinement in the Marion Hos
pital for the Criminal Insane.
In the meantime RiXey will be sent
back to Taunton Hospital, where he has
been confired since being adjudged in
sane several months ago.
1t was learned this morning that the
Marion hospital is not yet completed
and for that reason cannot accept pa
tients at the present time.
RiXey appeared in court this morning
accompanied by DR.. j. w. Freed. of the
hospital. presenting q much improved
physical appearance. DR.. Freed stated
that while RiXey's health is splendid,
there has been Gut little Improvement in
his mental condition.
John +. Barbour and James r. Cation,
who appeared for the banker, moved
for a suspension of the courts order,
but this was refused. They next moved
that RiXey be admitted to bail, which
also was denied.

INQUIRY INTO FIRE
DESTROYING CAR
BARNS CONTINUED
Several Theories Advanced
as to Cause of Blaze.
Service Unaffected.

Fire Marshal Nicholson today Is con-
tnuing his investigation of the oriEin
OF the fire which early yesterday morn
ing destroyed the car barn of the WASH
lngton Railway and Electric Company
at thirteenth and ID streets northeast.
While 1t Is thought that a short cir
cult on one of the cars on which work.
men had been making some repairs
uurlhg the night might have caused the
Diaze, Marshal Nicholson said this
niorhlhs that one or two other theories
hau been advanced, and that a most
searching investigation would be made.
Oihclals OF the company, after 60
ing over the ruins with the fire mar
snal' place the total loss at $3.50, 900.
olHtg-seVen cars were completely de-
stroyed. These. with the other contents
Oh the big building entailed a loss of
$ZOOOOO The damage to the building
was $4,000. The loss is fully covered bv
what is known as blanket insurance.
officials of the road said today that
the destruction of the sixty-seyen cars
would have little effect on the service
Of the Mt Pleasant line, and traffic was
resumed today as usual. 1t is expected
that the company will be able to handle
the crowds during rush hours without
calling on other street railway COM
panies for the loan of cars.
Il hope we don't have another fire
like this one" said Chief Wagner to-
day. 1T was about the worst 1 ever
encountered. 1t was so slippery that
the men could hardly stand up to hold
hose. l helped the men myself some
times when they tried to change the
position of a line, and down we all
would go. The water froze as fast as
II struck, and some of the men were
literally frozen to the ground. One
group was working with a nozzle with
their ankles frozen solid in the ice."
Battalion Chief Charles B. Proctor,
who was caught by a falling portion Of
the south wall, still is confined to his
home with a sprained ankle.
No plans have been made by the COM
pany as yet for rebuilding the struc-
ture. If a new barn is erected, it may
be that another location will be Sc
lecteG.

COMPANY TO AID =
FAMILY Of VICTIM
Of GAS POISONING
Two of David Upperman's
Children to Be Placed
in Hospital.

Two Of the children of David Upper
man, who died Saturday after being
overcome by gas at the plant of the
Georgetown Ga Light Company. will
be placed in the Children's Hospital
within few days and the mother, with
her four remaining children, will be
aided by the gas company.
Robert Middleton. secretary of the
Georgetown Gas Light Company, and r.
V. Weaver, its president, conferred this
company should take toward Upper
mans family.
He was a good, faithful employe,"
said Mr. Middleton this morning. II
was deeply affected because we all liked
him here. 1t IS our bounden duty to
look after his family and we propose to
do it We will give them something
every week. OF course. the company
does not object to what other people
may care to do for the family, but we
We could do nothing less"
Mr.. Middleton said that the fault for
Upperman's death did not devolve upon
the company, but upon the employe
himself.
This plant has been established since
1854 and this is the first serious accident
that has occurred here" said Mr.. Mid
dleton. The company is blamelcss."
UpperInan had at least two months
ago clear vision of his fate. He then
told his wife and one of her friends he
could feel that fourteen years work at
gas plant had sapped his energy and
that he doubted If he could last six
months longer.
The funeral OF David Upperman will
be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 O'Clock
at the Peck Memorial Chapel. The Re-.
II. Baremore Angus, pastor of the
chapel, will preach the sermon.
The sCalded spots on the right hand
and on the calf OF one leg of the as
phyxiated man were caused by contact
with a fourteen-inch steam main that
runs through the bottom of the drip
hole in which Upp 4rman was working
at the time of his death.
After being overcome by gas, he fell
to the bottom of the pit, his hand and
leg resting on the hot main. Coroner
hewitt inspected the pit yesterday aft
ernoon.
The deadly monoxide gas claimed an
other victim in David Upperman, ac-
cording to the theory held by Coroner
hewitt. Nitrogen nonoX!de is heavier
than air, and. owing to the constant
presence of gas. there apparently wRI
heavy accumulation of the deadly
gas in the pit. In STOPPING over Upper.
man cut himself off from the air abA G
and breathed in a toxic dose of the Tree
monoXide.

DEATH OF LORD LISTER.

The death of Lord Lister, in the eighty-ffth
year of his age, removes one of the links with the
past and one of the real benefactors of the human
race. 1t would be impossible to estimate how much
the prolongaton of the human life, and the relief
from suffering, is due to the system of antseptic
surgery which it was his great work to introduce into
modern surgery. Before his time the highest skill
Fin operative surgery was defeated by the septic
poison which threatened every patient. The records
of our own civil war disclose something of the NOR
tality due to "gangrene" while in earlier periods it
was literally as the pestilence which waketh in
darkness and the destruction which waSteth at noon
day"
The treatment of wounds, based upon complete
sterilization has now become so much matter IF
that we can scarcely realize the extent of the
! former peril
The name of Joseph. Lister will take rank with
that of Jenner and Harvey and of those bracketed
pioneers in anaesthesia, Morton and Long.
Distinctly the world is better in that he has
lived. Life and health are his memorials.

Stock Law Worth While
Is Described in Munsey's

According to Isaac F. Marcosson,
Kansas is teaching the nation a lesson
in stock selling that is more than worth
while. In an article in The Munsey for
February entitled Barring Out the
Stock Thieves" he writes:
Bank Commissioner Dollcy framed
a statute to regulate and supervise the
sale of securities. To use his own pic
turesque phrase. 1T had to have hooks
in it strong enough to catch a whale,
and when he completed it there was no
loophole through which a tricky stock
salesman could crawl. He called it the
Rlue Sky Law. because in warning !
people not to purchase wildcat promo
ton stock, he used to say:
Don't buy that-it's just sky blue" "
According to the writer Every cor
poration, company, or individual,
whether it be Incorporated under the
laws of Kansas or of any other State,
that sells or in any way handles stocks,
bonds, or other securities-with the ex-
ception of Government, State or munic-
ipal bonds-is subject to the statute, and
must undergo rigid censorship before
it can do business.
Amy agent who offers securities for
sale in Kansas without a license from
the State Is subject, for each offense
to a fine of not more than $500 and tC
imprisonment for not more than ninety
days"

to make systematic effort to preserve our folk
songs. Dvorak did something of the sort, and the
pioneer Ministries did something more. Eut even
if we had fairly complete record of the old songs
of the Indians and the negroes we would not have
exhausted the possibilities by any means. There are
secluded mountain sections of the country where folk
songs and stories exist which have never been re-
duced to notation, ard when the representatives Of
the old order of things pass away before the march
of civilization they will take these treasures win
them.
England is keenly alive to the danger and is
guarding against it, 1t is more important that
we should do something of the Lind over here.
