Cowardice at Sea.
Ie New York Evening Telegram.

FROM the New YORK Evening Telegram.
1t is not a pleasant story that comes
from Seattle to the effect that when the
steamship Spokane. off Vancouver, was
in imminent danger of sinking through
an open sea cock and the boats were
ordered out ''the first two boats to leave
the ship were filled with men, and some
women were taken on the life rafts.''
The incident is in strong contrast with
all reports of the loss of the Titanic. and
recalls the disgraceful actions that ac-
companied the sinking off Block Island
of the Larchmont Of the Joy line. when
the captain, charged with leaving his ship
in the first boat, explained that he did
mot know IL was the first.
That investigation resulted in a white
wash in Providence. r. !. What will be
done in regard to the practical abandon
ment to their fate of the passengers Of
the Spokane remains to be seen. Inas-
much as tie ship was righted and all
aboard saved. that will i'll all probability
he huslled up.

1t would be interesting II the bureau
of railway news and statistics were 10
separate the ''trespassers" into various
classes and show how many people have
been killed on railroad lines at grade
crossings during the Iwenty-three years.
1t is true that lin a certain percentage
of these cases the fault has been Win
the victims in that they have failed TO
take sufficient precaution in attempting
to cross railway lines. .soine of them nave
ignored the positiye arnings of the rail-
road representatives. Some have perhaps
even passed under, barriers lowered on
the approach of trains But a shocking
" large number have been killed because
the railroads have not sufficiently pro-
tected the grade crossings, but have
thrown the burden of protection and pre-
caution upon tlie public. If the railroads
had in 1890 inclosed their rights Of way
and avoided grade crossings the total of
deaths Of "trespassers' would not have
reached anything like 1879 The grand
total Of railroad deaths would have fallen
far below the 1872, ,5A2 recorded. All the
in the other classitications
would have been increased.
1t should not be boast Of the rail-
roads of this country that in twenty
three years they have killed only
1902 passengers. in accidents to trains.
That they have killed that number is
reproach. almost national disgrace 1t
is true that the adoption Of, steel cars
will not materially check this evil, but
that the railroads must, TO acquit them
selves of the grossest contributory neg
Iigence. equip their lines with devices
that will prevent collisions by rendering
"man failure" negligible factor in rail-
road operation. .s

2 The Navy.

The democratic party is divided on the
question ofSthe navy. There are big navy
advocates, little navy advocates, and no
navy advocates. At Baltimore last year
the deciaration was for IAN adequate
navy" But the phrase was campaign
trick and now the party confronts the
consequences in the shape of an inter-
rogatory. What is "an adequate navy?
Advocates of big navy reply with the
statement that we belong in second place
on the water-next to Great Britain. They
refer to our long coast line on both the
Atlantic and the Pacific, to our oversea
possessions, and to our great RESPONSE
bilities just opening at Panama. They
alrge more ships, and as rapidly as they
can be built. If the new tariff does
not provide the money, increase the
duties. =.
Advocates of a little navy declare that
NE should withdraw our eyes from Euro
pean arn1aments and fix them on our own
affairs; that the navy as it floats is strong
enough; that few more ships now and
then will serve every proper purpose.
Keep down expenses. And SO forth.
No navy advocates talk only peace. In
their opinion navy of any size is but
provocationl to war. The bigger the
navy. the stronger the provocation.
Abandon the policy. Build no more ships,
and let those in existence go to the scrap
heap In the order of their wearing out
The whole business Is "a. conspiracy be-
tween arrlor plate manufacturers and
jingo politicians Money profits and Office
are thes two incentives in the big navy
agitation. r.
: At, the regular session of Congress the
question, will come up, and we should wit
ness a pointed and vigorous debate,
which, of course, will open in the House.
Mr.. Hobson of Alabama wants big
navy, and will fight for one. Mr.. Bailey
of Pennsylvania thinks the navy is big
enough. and will resist the proposition for
large naval approp: iations. He regards
money 50 appropriated as wasted, and
he claims that economy was one of the
promises on which the democracy was re-
turned to power.
:. Speaker Clark is robust partisan, but
broad minded and patriotic as well, and
his positior7 on this matter Is the sub
ject of some speculation as the result
of. his speech at Louisville, KY, last
Saturday in which he advocated dis
armament He told his audience:
The way of universal peace. ] believe,
lies in the direction of gradual disarma-
ment among: rfations. And | believe the
time has come for the United states to
take the lead in such movement"
The Speaker has way of leaving the
chair and entering the bull ring when
the subject appeals and the spirit moves;
and IL he take the floor at the next ses-
sion when the naval bill comes up and
enlarge upon the theme of disarmament
he will add much to the interest of the
discussion.

name and the most efficient means OF CIV

without exposing others to the danger
of infection. But it is a question whether
this could be done now, in the inception
of the whole project of segregating the
tuberculous pupils. 1t is worth while con-
sidering, however, the possibility Of such

cal outcome of the decision to exciuos

Berries Eaten on Trip Into the
Country Make Three Young
SterS III.

The three children of Captain La
mar Poole, of the Atlanta police de-
partment, were reported Thursday
morning as having recovered from the
effects of ptomaine poisoning which
they suffered while on a picnic.
Mrs. Poole said she had taken the
children to the country Wednesday.
and thought possibly they had been in
the hot sun too much, or that the ber-
ries and sweet corn they had eaten
for lunch had disagreed with them.
A hurry call to police headquarters
announced that they had been
strangely poisoned.
The first signs that the children
were suffering became evident at 8
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Wal
lace. aged II; Douglas, s, and Elsie,
8 years old, were taken violently i'll
simultaneously after they had return
ed to their home at 255 Glennwood
Avenue.
Chief Beavers FASTENED to the Poole
home with a surgeon from the Ora
dy Hospital. When they arrived,
however, Captain Poole and DIR. Vir-
gil Cook were there, and the chill
dren were soon relieved.

Donaldson Would Bar
Reformers From Camp.

Prison reformers will be barred
from the convict camps in Fulton
County, according to a resolution
drawn by Superintendent T. ]. DON

The resolution puts the ban on the
small army Of ministers" and all
day Sunday services" as well. A
Convict parson" viii be employed to
preach regularly at each Of the six
camps. He will be prohibited from
bringing more than one person with
him. The service will be limited to
one hour. from II to IL o'clock each
Sunday forenoon.
Il am getting tired OF all this re-
form talk from people who do not
know what they are talking about, .
said Captain Donaldson.
Satisfied Till Reformers Arrive.
The condition of nine OF every ten
convicts of the 700 in this county is
100 per cent better than 1t was before
they violated the law and received a
sentence. Without an exception, the
general health Is better
The men have clean beds, get
wholesome food and live under sani-
tary conditions that are far superior

They are usually pretty well satisfied
until Sunday. when these ministers
and reformers worry them for sew
eral hours they could better enjoy in
rest.
our convict system is about as
coed as any in the world The idea
that the men leave greater criminals
than they we're before they came TO
us is absurd. Some Of them don't
like work and would welcome the re-
form and fiowery beds of ease, but II
there is any good in a man he Is will
ing to pay for what he has done
without a murmur
THE work reforms as many OF the
men as the ministers do. They leave
us in a much better condition than
they were when we got them and at
least half start new life.
Those who do not reform could
not be reformed unless a shotgun was
used. If the conditions the reformers
seek were brought about / would get
rid Of my property in Fulton County
and go to some other State
