MUST RESPECT DANGER.

The arrival on this side of the At lantic of the steamer Chaltern Range with her bow stove in and the story of an encounter with a large iceberg, at point near where the great disaster of last spring occurred, only points out more clearly the need of exercis- ing the greatest care and attention to the operation of steamships, whether passenger or freight in the territory where the icebergs can be expected to be. There was the Titanic catastrophe as the terrible lesson of speed and fail- ure to heed warnings, as though it had happened yesterday, and the pa trols from two countries securing the high seas as an added protection to transatlantic travel. yet the experience of the freight steamer was such as to emphasize the great importance of ex- ercising personal responsibility. Pro gress in ice fields during fog is of the most perflous character. however care fully it is pursued and it is likely that reduced speed on slow boat was the reason for the freighter's escape from a much worse situation.
 It indicates most concIusive1y that speed must be sacrificed in behalf of safety for with all the provisions against danger and all the require ments in behalf of safe ocean travel there must be the exercise of judgment on the part of officials. Where such dangers do not exist ocean navigation Is reasonably safe, but with com bnation of icebergs and fog there is a danger which the most fearless nav igator or steamship line should respect

It is a severe jolt to those who have so complalsantly ad- vocated or condoned extravagant ap- propriations of state money for all sorts of things. It is very comfort ing to get nice things like a state ar mory in Bristol. for example, under the delusion that it costs us nothing. So long as we think of the other fel- low or some vague entity paying the bills why should we not have every thing that generous legislative com mittees will grant us Bristol Press.

Condemn Ordinance

The executive committee of the
Citizens Municipar Ownership Com
mittee has adopted the following reso-
luton relative to the LawEon street
railway ordnance.
That we view with disapprobration
and suspicion, the proposed ordinance
recently introduced into the city coun-
ell granting TO the Detroit United rail-
way what II termed day-to-day priv
ilege for the operation OF Its cars In
the streets of Detroit, because:
First: We believe the ordinance 70
be only one more step In the obstinate
battle of duplicity and obstruction
which has been waged for so many
years By the Detroit United railway
agcinst the cause OF municipal owner
ship.
passage, will effect a practical waiver
OF the rights already gained by the
city In its long and exasperatlng ,strug-
gle to regain possession OF Its streets
and will lose TO the people the benefit
or the construction and Interpretation
already placed by the supreme court
uron existing grants.
Third We are satisfied that the
CHIEF result which will be accomplished
by its adoption Will be a renewed sue
cession OF the worrying lawsuits which
constitute so formidable and favorite a
part OF the armament OF the Detroit

many OF the most objectionable feat

qualified condemnation OF the voters OF
the city.
Fifth: We are unalterably opposed
to any form Of settlement OF the street

or our victory, emanates from sources
OF municipal ownership. And. further
BE Il Resolved. That this committee
on behalf OF the united municipal own

so frequently announced heretofore
that there IL no good franchise but a
dead one. and does hereby call upon all
loyal members OF the council commit

upon all public-spirited citizens. TO OPP
pose this proposed franchise, falsely
against Its passage and adoption to the

ECHO is HEARD
OF CREATORE CASE
Made to ForecIose
Mortgage Given to Provide
Musician With Funds

+ An echo Of the domestic troubles
Of Francesca Creatore. Italian band
leader. was heard in Judge Haily's
court. Tuesday morning. when the
German-American Loan & Trust Co.,
brought suit to foreclose a mortgage
Of $1,000 against Mrs. Jane o. Mo
Cumber, relative of Mrs. N. r. CAL
amara, No. 1853 Slairmount-ave.
mother OF Mrs. Creatore.
The foreclosure is being fought on
the grounds that the defendant didn't
benefit by the full amount or the
loan. Mrs. Calamara, on the wit
ness stand. testified that Creatore
got s4ee OF the amount.
Mrs. Calamara, who has denounced
Creatore time and again because Of
his alleged cruel treatment and de-
sertion of his wife. took occasion to
give him another rap In court. de-
claring that his getting part OF the
mortgage money was only In keeping
with other acts which had caused her
and his wife many a heartache. The
$1,000 was borrowed, she said. TO
help Creatore along with his musical
engagements.

Turks Fighting T,1w
RepeIat1on TO Enrobe

VIENNA, Feb. 4.-The opinion pre-
vailed among military experts today
that the Turks were In better fighting
trim than Europe has been led to sup
rose. In the 10 weeks that have
elapsed since the retreat to the
Chatalja lines, the Turks have cen
siderably improved the condition Of
their army. In fact. Il IL asserted, a
new army has been created. The
losses sustained by the artillery have
been replaced. partly from The re-
serves, and partly by bringing over
from Anatolia, togethEr with the
Nizam troops, their modern guns. The
sanitary conditions have been greatly
improved and II Is only a matter of
supplies that hampers the Ottoman
troops.
Between Chatalja and Constan-
tinople. the Turks have 10000 men,
with $50 field, so light, and 35 heavy
guns, and there IL a reserve army OF
SO, coo hardened Arabian veterans near
Ismid, In Asia Minor, who can be
transported into Europe In few lays.
In addition, there are $4,000 men In
Gallipoli, for the defense Of the Oar
danelles. They are veterans OF the
war In Tripoi, and are under com
mand OF Fethy Bey. These men are
all seasoned warriors well condition
ed, and they know nothing more than
to fight till they are exterminated
Bulgaria, It Is believed here, has at
her disposal not more than 100000,
many OF. them youths aui raw recruits.
In addition TO besieging Adrianople,
and taking the offensive at Chatalja,
the Bulgarians must hold by force OF
arms the territory already captured.

DR.. KIEFER IS
FOR PURER AIR
in D. U. R. CARS
incidentally, He Would Force
Company TO Increase
Their Number
OZONE ORDINANCE
TO BE INTRODUCED
Will Tell Number of Cubic Feet
of Air Needed by Each
Passenger

Health oaicer Kiefer and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Penniman have
framed an ordinance which as q
health measure makes 1t imperative
for the ID. U. r. to better the crowded
conditions In the street cars, espe-
cially during the morning and even
ing rush hours.
Aid. Barnett will introduce the ordi-
nance In the council meeting, Tues
day night, and ask that 1t be put
through and given immediate effect.
The Board OF Health will furnish
figures giving the cubic feet OF space
that a passenger Is entitled TO. The
ordinance will demand that the ID. u.
r. placard its cars to show the num-
Der OF cubic feet OF space in each car,
so that any citizen or off1cer finding
the company violating the ordinance
by overcrowding of cars. can make a
complaint.
The ordinance, which Is an out
growth Of the heating and ventilating
ordinance. is intended, according TO
the health officer and tne assistant
corporation counsel, not as another
knock" on the ID. u. r., but as a
measure to promote public health.
Il am thoroughly convinced that
the d. U. r. is not running its full
number OF cars declared Penniman.
II do not believe the company is
using more than rs per cent OF its
track capacity. This ordinance will
have the effect OF increasing the car
service by compelling the railway
company to operate the other 20 per
cent of its track capacity"
The ordinance provides for stin
fine and imprisonment for violations
