GIRLS SUICIDE CLOSED A SHORT
LOVE. AFFAIR

The story of how far a girl will go
for man she loves was told at the
coroner's Office over the body of Es-
ther Monpier, 20, who departed via
the gas route last Thursday.
When they found the girl there was
a note by her side addressed to Wal
ter Miller, 19, 2137 Seminary avenue
The note read yesterday saddened the
jurors. In about a dozen sentences it
told completely the old story of the
girl who has yielded everything to the
man only to be tossed aside.
Miller, who went on the stand yes

terday. admitted he was the father Of
her baby which died in an ambulance
three weeks ago, But he pleaded he
intended to marry her and make ev-
erything right if she only had waited.
While on the stand he also testified
that he had made arrangements with
DR.. Cohan in the Venetian building to
perform an Illegal operation on the
girl
"On Jan. 81 l paid DIR. Cohan $40
to perform an operation" Miller said
on the stand. 81 was to pay him $40
more when the operation took place.
On Feb. Esther went down to him
alone. l don't know what occurred
then. She never told me. l don't
know whether the operation was per-
formed or not"

SAYS HE WAS TOLD TO KEEP
STILL ABOUT FIRE FACTS


Conditions at the Kraus Bros. &
Loewy dye house, 80 w. oath street,
previous to the fire of Monday were
told to the state fire marshal yes
terday afternoon by employees of the
plant
The state marshal is now making
an investigation into the cause of the
fire and the locked door which nearly
caused the death of twenty-five girls.
Thomas Sheehan, 1882 Washing
ton boulevard, auto mechanic, testi-
fed that the fire started in room
in the basement garage. Here he was
accustomed to wash the auto parts in
gasoline At the end of his work he
would sweep the gasoline that had
fallen to the floor out of the door.
The day of the fire there was about
half an inch covering the floor This
was ignited and caused the fire.
He further testified that Arthur
Burg, manager Of the place, told him
to keep still about this.
Sheehan's testimony was corrobo-
rated by Dave Williams, another en-
ploye.
Joseph Hollack, 332 W. oath street,
who tore the hole in the corrugated
roof through which the girls made
their escape, gave his testimony in
regard to the locked door, John Stru-
lex testified that he was the man that |
had broken the lock. ~.

Public Servants and Service.

intellectual plane He was many years

ties OF course, to make money, but, like

These nen-two northern, two south

their long day. They worked hard in the
public behalf; began poor and ended poor:
and no American senators OF their period
were more respected, or exerted a better
influence on public affairs. And there
were. and are, others.
1t is q good thing TO nab and expose

put into office. But there is no justifica

The Needless Noises.
m the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the fhiiadepnla Ledger
A letter from Mrs. Oakley in the Woni-
ans Ledger calls attention to the need of
city ordinances which, If enforced, would
give those who must do their work by
night fair chance to sleep by day.
1t is easy to dismiss the agitation
against superfluous noises as the propa-
ganda of those who are ever on the fam
tastic search for something that requi es
reforming and establishing new soce-
ties of long and cumbersome nomencla-
ture with highly paid Specialists for sec
retaries, and formidable administrative
expenses. But this campaign is not Il
movement open to that reproach. The
Civic Club has undertaken as part OF
it's program of disinterested public serN-
ice, to secure the legal suppression of
the nuisance of too much noise within the
city limits, and the many petitions it
has received show that the evil is not 4
tiernent of the imagination, but a tragic
reality to many who have no redress un-
less the authorities can be persuaded OF
compelled to take eoenizance of their
plight.

The Traffic Rules.

The Commissioners should make all
speed posi- ble, consistent with insuring
the best results. in their response to the
proposition Just made for the amendment
of the tr.ffit. regulations. 1t is desirable
TO get these rules quickly upon a fixed
basis, where they will not be subject to
Grange and Will thus be a. maximum
benefit to the public through certainty
and general understanding There are
really few issues of Importance now in
voived in the proposed modification. The
request for revision is inspired chiefly by
a desire to simplify the rules, and thus
render them more easily understood and
therefore more easily obeyed. At present
the book of traffic regulations is cumber-
some, and II is to be doubted whether
the ma aiority of drivers and motorists are
familiar with all the requirements. The
fewer the rules and the more simply they
are stated the better for everybody and
the less frequent will be the plea of
ignorance in defense.
The main contention ut this time is over
the req,ilrernent that vehicles must stop
fifteen feet in the rear Of street car that
has been halted to take on or let off
passengers. This rule was adopted to pre-
vent accidents through the running down
of peoJl,, who were leaving or entering
cars, and since its adoption that partlcu-
lar danger has been eliminated, and con-
seouently there is pronounced opposition
to It's abrogation. 4 mobilization, how
ever, IS proposed that may insure pro-
lection without involving the risk that is
alleged to result from the present rule,
namely that of chauffeurs speeding their
machines on approaching street corners at
which cars are likely to be halted in order
TO oyertake the cars and thus be saved
the trouble of stopping. These bursts Of
speed, it is urged, send motors across
intersections at dangerous rates and in
conditions conducive to collisions 1t is
proposed to modify the present rule by
either iessening the distance at which
motor must be halted or permitting 1t to
lass the stopped car at slow speed next
TO the curb In considering this propo-
sition the Commissioners will doubtless
bear in mind the fact that the fifteen-foot
rule, as it is called. has absolutely pre-
vented the running down of passengers
and that the speeding of motors to avoid
hating is in itself an offense Moreover.
the operation of the ffteen-foot rule tends
to divert motor traffic from streets ec-
cupied by car lines and thus to equalize
the traffic.
At the hearing yesterday Commissioner
Siddons expressed himself as favorable to
the imposition of jail sentences upon
speeders The surest means to the end
of this form OF punishment for dangerous
violations of the rules is to abandon the
plan of taking collateral at the station
houses and permitting speeders to forfeit
and thus escape with minimum fen-
atty, with no punishment for repeated
ofenses.

Snow-Cleaning Funds.

Washington's situation with reference
to the removal Of snow on the street
has always been more or less unsatis-
factory. The policy OF Congress of ap-
propriating meager amounts for specific
snow-c cleaning purposes has resulted al
most periodically in shortages that have
seriously embarrassed the Commissioners
in their efforts to keep the streets clean
in winter and often necessitated appeals
for emergency funds. Repeated endeavors
TO secure larger allotments for this par
ticUiar purpose have failed and the con-
sequence Is that almost every winter
the capital finds itself with its streets
choked with snow even after light fall,
and visitors are prone to wonder that
city which boasts of an efficient munich
pal administration is incapable of coping
with the moderate effects OF the winter
season.
Heretofore the snow-cleaning appropria-
tion has been made separately and the
Commissioners have been forbidden, by
decisions of the controller. to draw upon
the general street-cleaning funds for
snow removal purposes. Now there is
no specific snow fund and the ordinary
street-cleaning funds are available. but
without a sufficient increase in them to
provide against an emergency. Fortu-
nately there has been so little snowfall
this season-that Of Friday last being the
first of the year-that the drain upon the
appropriation has been slight. Had Wash
inston experienced an ordinary winter
serious inroads would have been made
and request for deficiency appropria-
| tions OF emergency funds would have
been necessary.
The Star has been urging for years that
Congress set apart a large snow-cleaning
appropriation, sufficient to clean the
streets in case of the heaviest fall of
snow locally known. This should be a
continuing overlapping fund. any sur
plus remaining at the end of the snow
| season to be held 10 the credit of the
| next years allotment. This would pre-
vent drains upon the ordinary street.
