You surely would not now try to- impress
upon your readers that the entire four
years Of Mr. Harrison's administrator
were years of wonderful prosperity. when
you so well remember the big financial
failures which began in $780, twenty
months after Mr. Harrison's inaugura-
ton. and which were in reality forerun-
ners of the panic and became more ser-
Gus from month to month, and were at
the end of Mr.. Harrison's term handed
down to the democratic administrator.
1t seems TO me that the panic wIlch Was
so well known as the panic of 1888 might
have rightly been called the panic OF
1890 and 1891 for il was under the Nc
kinley tariff bill, which BECAME "A law in

In 1892, while we were still under re-
publican administration and republican,
tariff law, strike after strike broke out
as an attempt of workingmen to resist
reductions in wages, and these strikes
eliminated in the great Homestead strike
and riot. 1t appears very plainly thai
the panic of 1898 was well advanced
when Mr.. Cleveland came into office.
Under the, same republican tariff law, in
1893 there were more than 1000 fall
ures in the United States, involving
losses of s346,oo0 Ooo. After the demo
cratic revision of the tariff went into ef-
feet i'm 1894 the failures fell TO I3 600. and
the amount involved fell to STE, CO.,

that Mr.. Wilson was justified in his
statement and that he can make good.

NOT AWARE
OF FIRE IN SCHOOL
Leave Building Without Con-
fusion, Thinking Gong
Meant Regular Drill.

Without the slightest confusion 300
scholars at the Smallwood School on |
street between Sd and AZ streets south
west marched out of the building in three
minutes this morning when a fire was dis
covered on the second floor.
The children were not aware that there
was a fire in the building, believing that
when Principal Charles A. Johnson sound
ed the fire gongs about fifteen minutes
after the classes had assembled for the
day. that the gongs were rung for a fire
drill"
The fire, which originated in a closet on
the second floor of the building, started
among some sewing articles. The cause
of its origin is unknown. 1t is believed
the flames had been smoldering for some
time. one of the teachers who had occa-
sion to go to the room in which the
closet Is located smelled the smoke. She
notified Principal Johnson, who sounded
the alarm.
Teachers Prevent Confusion.
AS the children marched out of the
building to the front street, the nine
teachers, several of whom had been told
of the fire. took up positions about the
stairways and saw that no confusion re-
suited. Mr.. johnson telephoned. to No 13
engine company as the children started
from the building. and by the time the
fire apparatus arrived they were safe on
the street.
Mr.. johnson and several Of the teachers,
pending the arrival of the fire apparatus.
obtained hand fire-exinguishers and sue
ceeded in checking the flames.
1t was not until the fire apparatus came
up the street and the bell changing tnat
the scholars knew that there was nre
in the school. The fact that fire drills
are frequently held is attributed by Prin-
cipal Johnson to the. good order In which
the children left the building. The dam
age done by the fire was slight.

-.-s
Striking Hotel Workers Say
Success Is Assured.
STATEMENT OF DEMANDS
Ten-Hour Day for Men and Nine
Hour Day for the
Women.

The executive board Of the International
Hotel Workers Union, which for two
weeks has been taking testimony from
employees of various hotels and restau-
rants, last night issued a statement
which in the opinion of the members of
the union will convince the public that
the calling Of the recent strike of walters
and cooks at the Raleigh and New Will
lard hotels and the Cafe Republique was
justif1able.
|, The statement characterizes the condi-
| tions under which the hotel and restau-
rant employees of Washington labor as
'4ntolerable'' and ''inhun an,'' and fur
ther says the investigation has shown that
the working day Of most Of the employees
is from twelve to sixteen hours. The
statement also asserts that the wages In
Washington are the lowest paid in anv
part Of the country for similar service.
| Demands of the Strikers.
| It is declared that the conditions found
where women are employed are no better
than where men do the work. The de-
mands of the strikers, as set forth in
the statement, are a ten-hour day for
men and nine hours for women, and with
two days off each month for both sexes.
with pay. The strikers say that, while
they are fighting for ten-hour day.
workers in other crafts are asking an
eight-hour day, and in many cases have
been granted it.
The executive board says that the sud-
denness with which the strike was called
was due to the fact that the union had
authoritative information that one of the
leading hotels contemplated the dismissal
of several employees because of their ac-
fiyifi in a rlnion The statement n
phasizes the fact that despite reports
that much violence was anticipated by
the hotels and police this feature of the
strike has been missing.
t"When the hotel owners have had
enough of strikebreaking experience and
expense they will begin to talk of settle
ment, and we are willing and ready to
wait until that time," concludes the
statement.
Colored Workers Organizing.
Although the statement does not in
| clude the future plan of strikers. 1t is
learned that organizers are busy with
the colored employees of the hotels and
restaurants affected, and that when the
organization is complete an attempt will
| be made to force the hands of the hotel
men by calling out the colored men.
About 2 O'Clock this morning Charles
JaccdrlnO, one OF tHe SlIihepiedheiS, Gil,
| ployed at the New Willard, was chased
by four men thought by Jaccarino to be
strikers. No arrests were made, and po-
licemen had a lively chase to catch JAG
carno to find out the cause of his harry.
Jaccarino encountered the four men al
18th and II streets northwest and ran
west on New York avenue yelling "mur-
DER Policemen coming to his rescue he
thought to be his first pursuers. and he
continued his running until stopped by one
of the policemen firing his revolver In the

BAD HEALTH CONDITIONS
At FORT WASHINGTON
Surgeon General Torney Says
1t Is High Time Post Was Put
in Sanitary Condition.

According to Surgeon General Torney.
Fort Washington, on the Potomac, below
this city, has the unenviable reputation
pf having the highest hospital admission
rate of any army post in the United
States. The rate in 1911 was 333.33 .333 per
900, as compared with 237.29 for 1910.
215.77 for 1900. 144.3O for 1905 363.64 for
1907 and 1876 for 1906. Washington bar
racks, D. c., is second to Fort Washing
ton, with an admission rate of 1851 per
1000. The surgeon attributes the high
rate in 1911 to the command being in
fected while in camp at Fort Foote.
With a view to improving sanitary and
hygienic conditions at Fort Washington,
a medical board, OF which Lieut.. Col.
Kean was chairman, recommended the
purchase, at an estimated cost of 5000,
of twenty-seven acres, including the
marsh adjoining Swan creek, in order to
control the drainage Of that area; the
clearing of zone 125 yards wide imme-
diately behind the line of barracks, quar-
ters, ETC.. of all growth over one foot
high; the trainage to the river Of all
storm water, so that there should be no
erosion or accumulations in pockets In
rayines: the daily indoor search for and
killing of all mosquitoes; the screening of
all doors and windows N habitations; the
systematic oiling of all pools OF water;
the placing of names of all infected indi-
yiduals on a roster. with treatment for
four months; quinine prophylaxis tenn
pofarily, and an allotment for labor for
clearing and drainage.

IN A CLASS BY HERSELF
Odd Position Of French Woman Who
10 Neither Spinster, Wife, Nor a
Divorced Person.

According to French law, husband
and wife who have been once divorced.
and who, after due reflection, have
found out that they can do no better
for themselves, and have married each
other a second time, cannot be divorc-
ed again. Sixteen years ago a gentle
man who could not put up with the
freaks of his wife sought and obtained
a divorce, but after years reflection
he forgave her. and they went again
before the mayor. 1t was not long,
however, before madame broke loose
again. and tried the patience Of her
husband beyond endurance. He ap-
piled to the court for remedy, but
was told that all it could do for him
was to pronounce separation, al.
though he would be always obliged
to pay her alimony. He agreed, and
years went on, and the lady also went
on disgracing the name she still bore.
The man again repaired to the tribu-
nal and said: MY wife, who is sepa-
rated from me, but who is still my wife
and whose husband l still am, con-
tinues dishonoring me. What am ]
| to dor" to which the magistrates re.
piled: "You must 60 on paying her her
| allowance, because she evidently has
need Of it, but we will forbid her to
| use your name" The woman now Is
| In a position that has never been pro-
vided for by legislation. She Is not
divorced, and never can be, and nei'
