FOR NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

The arguments in favor Of national quarantine
service are plain, common-sense arguments. The in
PRODUCTION Of cholera for instance, into this country,
would menace the whole country, regardless OF the
port through which it entered. The health Of New
York or Chicago should not be made to depend on
the stringent lax administration of, say, the Phla-
delphia quarantine station by local board.
Any city can of course, advance local reasons for
refusing to transfer its station to the Government If
the three large ctes-Boston, New York and Balti-
more-which still retain local control refuse to give
i, up, the Federal plan becomes impossible. But its
realization is too important to allow any ordinary
local argument to weigh in the balance.
We would not compliment Boston we're she to
stay out and thus defeat the plan merely in order
to save herself few thousand dollars year. We
would not think Baltimore patriotic if she should
stay out because under local control the quarantine
officers could be relied upon to extend special favors
to shippers entering that port And what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander. New York
could be excused no more than Baltimore or Boston
for the nvalidation of the plan.
The local argument must be strong indeed to
warrant any city in insisting on its own exemption
from control designed for the national good.

able that the official time the lowest caught by
any of the expert holders of stop watches. The un-
official timers generally caught the time at just
around the figures of the former record, 2O2 As
The official time, of course, stands, and the record
is made for future thoroughbreds to fight
But even if the official time was bit radical
the fact remains that the race was a wonder, for
Whisk Broom carried heavier load than was ever
before taken by victor in this race. Whisk Broom
stands as the great horse of his day, just as his
father Broomstick, with new record OF 2:O2 As,
was in his time the blue-ribboner
1t is worth while to observe here that with such
record to the credit of revived racing in New
York. there is not much evidence of the decadence
of horseaesh. A few years ago when the Empire
State crusading to stop betting at race tracks, it
was urged that to stop betting would ruin the SPORT
and to ruin the sport would mean discontinuance
of the really useful work Of improving the track
horse. Apparently horses born into betless world,
unencouraged by the bookies are so innocent OF
true sporting instinct that they run just as fast as
if fortunes were riding with their jockeys. Whisk
Broom has given hard blow to the theory that
either the automobile the abolition of betting has
put the horse out of business.

FALL STATEMENTS
ROUSE MENCANS
Charges Are Made That Legis.
Iator Has Fomented Dis.
turbances In Country.

Growing out Of the speech Of Senator
Albert B. Fall Of New Mexico In the
Senate Friday, In which he attacked
Provisional President Huerta and de-
manded repeal Of the resolution forbid
ding shipment Of arms ana ammunition
into Mexico. much excitement has been
caused in Mexico City. according to re-
ports from there.
Further excitement is also caused hy
the assertion of Senator Bacon that the
white men Of the republic, constituting
the educated classes. ought to take up
arms and establish order.
It Is reported many Americans are
leaving Mexico City In alarm because
Of the situation. The American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company Is also said
to be preparing to withdraw from
Mexico.
The utterances of Senators Fall end
Bacon, especially Of Fall, have led Of
ficials Of the Mexican government to
charge that a United States Senator
from the Southwest has contributed
large sums of money to foment revolu-
ton in Mexico. This Senator, who Is
unnamed. has large property interests
In Mexico.
Allegations made in Mexico City are
that this Senator sent a large sum Of
money by check to an agent Of the
revolutionists, and that this check has
been photographed by the Department
of Justice. Shipments of explosives, Il
and the Department OF Justice Is al
legged to have letters which passed. be-
tween the Senator and the revolutionary
leaders.

Riding Astride in Park
Barred by Royal Edict

LONDON. June 2.-The objection Of
King George and Queen Mary to women
riding astride. which was made known
during the International Horse Show
at Olympia. has gone a step further.
A royal fiat was issued ordering that
women who ride in Rotten Row and
Hyde Park in the mornings must use
the sidesaddle.
The reason given In court circles for
the issuance of the latest ukase is that
Princess Mary rides In the morning in
Rotten Row, and Queen Mary, who be-
lieves that riding astride is immodest
and mannish, does not wish her daugh-
ter to be contaminated by the sight of
others riding astride.
This Is not the first time that Hyde
Park has been the target of a royal
command. During the last years of
the reign Of Edward VII. Queen AIeA
andra, who drove out constantly, was
annoyed because her horses were fire.
quently frightened by automobiles, and
gave orders that none of these machines
be permitted in Hyde Park She was
finally induced to relent. however, in
favor Of electric vehicles.

EFFECTS OF FALL TO
AVIATOR ARE TOLD
Body Of Ensign BillingsIey
Crushed Almost as If 1t Had
Struck Solid Earth.

ANNAPOLIS. June 2s.-The details Of
the injuries suffered by Ensign William
d. Bfllingsley, the naval aviator who
met his death when he struck the sur
face of the Chesapeake bay after a fall
OF LES feet from a careened aeroplane
have become known, and furnish unique
information connected with the charac-
ter Of injuries to q human body striking
the water after a fall from q great
height.
II is believed that Ensign Billinssiey
struck the water feet first, doubled up
in such a position that his head struck
nearly at the same time. The force OF
the blow broke the bones In both lsgs
just above the ankle and forced them
through the muscles and membranes OF
the ieg in such way as to extend out
for Several inches. The soles Of Ensign
Billingsley's shoes were cut on as clean
ly as II by knife.
At the same time, the legs appeared
to have been forced apart, and there
was terrible wound at the juncture of
the legs. Almost every principal organ,
the stomach, kidneys, spleen, lungs and
even the heart. were ruptured, the whole
internal body being terribly torn. Final
ly. the jawbone was broken on both
sides.
1t Is aetimated that the fall took be-
tween eleven and twelve seconds and
that the body was moving at the rate
of $40 miles a minute when II struck
the water.

THE MARYLAND sENAToRsHIP.

Governor Goldsborough of Maryland has an
nounced that he will order an election of new
United States Senator, to be held On November A.
the date FOR the regular election in the State. This
will give Maryland the distinction of choosing the
first Senator under the popular election provision OF
the constitution
Governor Goldsborough is Republican, and ap-
pointed Senator Jackson also of that faith, to sue
ceed the late Senator Rayner. There was effort
among Republicans to convince the governor that he
should order no election Of Senator until after a
regular session of the legislature could pass laws
providing for it. Merely partisan interest would have
dictated this course but the governor has taken a
broader view that does him credit He assumes that
an executive appointment to the Senate should he
merely ad interim, expiring just as soon as there Is
opportunity to elect Senator in the regular way.
The direct elections amendment being now the law
of the land the governor proposes to make it apply
rs soon as possible.
Senator Jackson will doubtless be succeeded by
Democrat doubtless by Blair Lee, personal friend
of the President and leader of the liberal wing of
Maryland Democracy. The change will be especially
important in that it will increase by rwo the narrow
margin between Republican and Democratic strength
in the Senate in time for the opening of the long
session next winter.

VESUVIUS ON THE JOB.

More staid and moderate than in the time of its
youthful enthusiasms and excesses, old Vesuvius is
today the most accommodating natural wonder on
earth. 1t can put on an eruption just at the
psychological moment as no other volcano has ever
been able to do. The tourist travel through the
Mediterranean is just getting good, what with the
Shpioads of school ma a'ams and short-time vaca
TONERS that travel in summer because they have the
time them and it is for these, rather than the eete
mIlonaires who do Naples in winter, that the grand
old mountain is opening its Fourth of July cele-
bration.
II would be unkind to suspect that Vesuvius is
really operated by Prof. Mercalli, the experiences
observer and prognosticator of its phenomena; but
il the professor were operating the thing with a
system of levers, valves stop-cocks, and push but
tons, he couldn't do it much better.

THE PRESIDENT TO GETTYSBURG.

Without consideration of politics or section, the
nation will be glad that President Wilson is to attend
the reunion Of blue and gray at Gettysburg and de.
liver an address. 1t is peculiarly fitting that the
Chief Magistrate should take part on this occasion
Gettysburg saw the war between the States reach
its high tide, the Sout's invasion of the North
stopped and rolled back, heard Lincoln deliver that
most wonderful even Of his magnificent addresses.
The President of today, after half century, is
q Virginian by birth, cosmopolitan American by
education, training residence, and habits of mind
Just the simple fact that he is the President, and
that he received enough electoral votes, outside the
seeding States, to elect him, testifes how COM
pletely the wartime alignment is abandoned, the
wartime prejudices forgotten. The occasion is one
justifyng an address worthy the traditions and in
spirations of the historic scene and President Wilson
is qualified to deliver il.
The Washington times., 1913-06-29
NO UP. RECEIVERSHIP.

There will be no ,receivership Of the Union
Pacific railroad, very largely, no doubt, because
President Wilson decided that there must be none.
The court had directed that plan of dissolution be
agreed upon within certain period, and there was
difficulty reaching agreement The President order
ed the matter brought to him, and he has given
approval to what all the interests agree is work.
able project for accomplishing the end which the law
and the courts decree have in view.
The plan means in effect the substitution of one
merger for another. The Union Pacific control Of
the competing Southern Pacific will end and the
Union Pacific will exchange huge block of its
Southern Pacific shares for Baltimore and Ohio
shares now held by the Pennsylvania In neither
case will an actual control be secured, but very
important minority interest in Southern Pacific will
20 to the Pennsylvania, and a similarly important
interest in Baltimore and Ohio will be secured by
Union Pacific. Thus is laid the foundation for two
new affiliations of connecting lines, in place of like
relations between competing systems
Out of this experience looms large the lesson
that the tendency Of these times is toward bigger
aggregaions of capital, power and facilities, and
that laws which get in the way Of that tendency
cannot in the end stand. Two transcontnental sys-
TENS will emerge, in place of two alliances Of
powerful parallel systems one in the East and the
other in the West. Between these two transcon-
t;nental systems there will be competition for busi
ness but not in the rates that really command bus-
ness. II is not now the policy Of this Government
to encourage competition in rates.

PRosTRATIoNs FROM HEAT.

If record Of prostrations and deaths from ex-
cessve heat could be made up, covering long
enough period to be fairly representative, it would
be discovered that many notions concerning summer
comfort and safety are erroneous.
The sun has to beat down with more force
through humid atmosphere than through dry one
to raise the mercury to the same point That is why
the extremes of heat, from SO degrees upward, are
much more often reported from middle West and
prairie regions than from the South and the sea-
board sections. The great cities with their masses
of materials that focus heat are always dangerous
but, other things being equal, moist climate,
though not so comfortable in more moderate tenn
peratures is less liable to excesses of heat that is
heat which gets up to or above the temperature OF
the blood and makes prostration real menace.
Washington, in such a record as has been sug-
gested, would probably be found a good deal less
liable to produce sunstroke than many cities much
farther north, and presumed to be blessed with bet
ter summer climate Washington has the benefit
of proximity to the ocean, whose influence is always
toward equabiliy, and Of larger precipitation.
Reading the news reports of heat prostrations and
fatalities in many sections it is possible to formulate
very conclusive demonstration of the real superb
ority of the Washington summer climate.

PROMISED WEDDING,
PATIENT RECEIVERS
Girl Finds First Cousins Tale
Is False and He will Wed
Another Young Woman.

MAIDEN. Mass. June 3.-Her life
saved after swallowing bichloride Of
mercury through being told that her
first cousin. Ernest Bennett, Of Dor
chester. would wed her despite what
the study Of volume on eugenics had
revealed to him. eighteen-year-old Susan
Mclaughlin today discovered that the
promise had been made only to induce
her to rally against the poison, and
that her cousin positively refuses to
marry her.
1t is charged that Bennett, after read
ing the treatise on eugenics. immediate
ly engaged himself to Miss Helen
Walsh. Of 10 Norfolk Terrace, and that
he only visited the girl at the Maiden
Hospital because the physicians told
him that such an act would probably
cause her to rally from her torpor into
which she had elapsed after an effort at
suicide.
When the Mclaughlin girl learned the
details Of the ruse adopted to save her
life this morning. she stated that she
would endeavor to have her cousin ar
rested and compulsory wedding held,
eugenics or not. In case a warrant IN
issued. legal battle is expected on the
grounds that no court should Compel
the marriage OF the first cousins.
