IOW-BACKED CAR"
AN IRISH SONG
Was Written by the Grandfather Of
Victor Herbert of Comic
Opera Fame.

You believe in heredity, don't you
Heredity Is that mysterious something
which makes you do things because your
father or your grandfather did. Heredity
is great stun when II takes, but, like vac
cination, IT does not always take.
You have heard of Victor Herbert. the
composer Of Madeleine" a new one ac'
grand opera which the metropolitan Up
era company produced this season. He Is
the same victor Herbert who wrote The
wizard of the Nile" 1.-THE IDOLS Eye.
The Fortune Teller" and ever so many
other comic operas, but he cannot help
writing music. He is a victim OF hered-
ity. Herbert's father was muslcally in
clined, but his grandfather was a regular
..Home-Run Baker" in the game Of writ
ing words and music.
Victor Herberts grandfather was Sam
ueI Lover. the great Irish poet and COM
poser. One of Samuel Lovers deathless
songs THE Low-Backed Car, has been
sung around the world. Samuel Lovers
grandson will have to go some to put
over a song which will gain the world
wide popularity of The Low-Backed
Car" This famous and very delightful
Irish song, with all your other favorites

Mission. and Mrs. Sarah X. Lamb. Sec
rotary Of the District Congress Of Moth
ers, were among those interviewed.
Launched In Cleveland.
The "one Baby a Year" Movement in
Cleveland Was launched by Mrs. J. A.
Smith, president OF the Ohio State Con-
gress OF Mothers. Ohcers OF the District
Congress want IL clearly understood that
II Mrs. Smith intends to introduce such
an 'unwritten law" in Ohio that Is
strictly the business of Mrs. Smith and
OF Ohio, and the District or National
Congress has absolutely nothing to do
with 1t" Moreover. they doubted that
the idea would last at all, and some
predicted that Mrs. Smith may get a
''reprimand" at the hands OF the ma
tona organization, which will hold Its
annual convention here next April
There is so much regulating being
done in this country Of late. it looks like
the people are suffering from a regula-
ton craze" said one OF those interviewed.
"Of course, most of the things now being
regulated are in need of IL. But guard us
from such a regulation as that proposed
in Ohio.
Motherhood is too sacred a thing to
become the subject Of public discussion.
Moreover, it's a thing that Nature has
governed ever since the world was made,
and it's a safe presumption that Nature
will continue TO govern IL without 'un-
written laws or such foolish stun as

CROKER WOULD REFORM
FIRE DEPARTMENT HERE
Former New York Chief Offers to Ef-
feet Reorganization for
Consideration"
SAYS 1T is NEEDED BADLY

Now comes Edward F. Croker. former
chief of the fire department of New York
City, with an offer to the District Com
missioners to reorganize the District fire
department for a reasonable considers-
ton"
Such reorganization is badly needed"
says Mr.. Croker in his letter, received by
the District heads yesterday. and he
would be most pleased to take charge
OF placing your department on a most
efficient basis"
Mr.. Cookers offer is the direct result
of the trial of Deputy Fire Chief Sulli-
van. in the course of which Croker was
called by Sullivan's counsel to testify as
an expert fire-fighter. The revelations
made during, this trial. Mr.. Croker as
serts, show the Washington department
TO be much below the desired standard"
Corporation Attorney Syme, who repre-
scented the Commissioners in the Sullivan
case, heartily agrees with Mr.. Croker
that the department needs some radical
changes in the way of more stringent
rules and regulations governing the safe
ty of firemen. The Commissioners, as
well as the members of the trial board.
also are said to share this opinion.
But-and this Is a very big "but'-if the
Washington fire department needs reor-
ganization, reforms or anything else, the
District officials hold that Washington
will be capable of taking care OF the
task. Local talent will do the trick,
and no outsiders need apply" Such was
the sentiment expressed yesterday.
As Commissioner Siddons put it: MY
is that IL 1t is decided a re-
organization of the fire department is
the Commissioners themselves
will be able to handle the NATTER
The trial board that sat in the Sulli-
van case met in executive session yes
terday, but no action was taken. 1t is
not expected that il will make its recon-
TO the Commissioners until
the middle of next week.

alliance" Between Liquor Inter-
ests and Suffragists Denied.

Mrs Ida Hustled Harper. noted as the
historian of the woman suffrage move
ment. last night issued the following
statement:
Il am entirely too busy to enter into a
detailed argument in regard to the effect
Of woman suffrage on the temperance
question. when this is not the point at
issue between Mrs Augustus Peabody
Gardner and myself. Mrs. Gardner has
said in a published statement that promi-
nent suffragists everywhere admit al
lance with the liquor interests.
In the article of Mrs. Cogswell speak
ing apparently for Mrs. Gardner, in Fri
days Washington Herald, there is not
an assertion that offers the slightest
proof Of such an alliance. 1t indicates
simply what has always been the policy
Of the suffragists, not 10 attack the
liquor business. as they do not wish to
give il that excuse for fighting them.
This does not in any sense constitute
an alliance and my challenge to Mrs.
Gardner to prove an alliance or admit
that she is not able to do SO still
stands

The House late yesterday passed the
Indian appropriation bill on a vive
voce vote. Immediately thereafter de-
bate was begun on the urgent def
cheney bill.
The Indian bill carries s9,61s,737, and
the only material change made in the
measure, as it came from the commit

sion authorizing the Secretary of the
Interior to make a per capita payment

taw and Chickesaw Indians. of the
Five Civilized Tribes, out of the tribal
fund.
