Hubert Cough and other officers concern
ed interpreted their instructions in a
wider sense
1.-THE army council is now satisfied that
there has been a misunderStan and
the officers also are satisfied. If the doc
trine laid down by Mr.. IEw-that any
officer refusing to serve is only doing his
duty--is to be preached, the country is in
the presence of a new danger.
Reassured by Asquith.
A much easier feeling has been created
in the British Isles by the reassuring
statement given out by Premier Asquith
to the effect that the troop movements
in Ulster had been ordered only as a pre-
cautionary measure for the protection OF
government property. The inference is
generally drawn from the premier's re-
marks that the governments intentions
toward army officers who did not desire
TO serve against the Orangemen had been
nisnterpreted.
The pub ic in all parts of the United
Kingdom awaited eagerly today the eX
PLANTATION of the cabinet in the house of
commons, TO which place the Irish con-
troversv has been transferred.
In some quarters there was an inclina-
ton to believe that Gen. Sir Arthur
Paget commander-in-chief in Ireland. had
placed much graver Interpretation upon
the governments inquiries as to the feel
ing Of army officers in the Irish sarrisons
than was intended.
He presented an ultimatum to the Off
GERS that they must serve or resign. Sir
Arthur always has taken a serious view
OF tie threatened refusal OF officers to
serve in Ulster. 1t Is understood that
he followed his public warning to them
by a private intimation that their resis-
nations would not be quietly accepted
by the war office.
Gen. Paget, Brig. Gen. Hubert Cough,
commander of the cavalry brigade at the
Currslgh, and other officers attached to
the Irish garrisons reached London this
morning and Immediately went TO the
war office to confer with Col. John SeelE,
secretary for war, and Field Marshal Sir
John French This conference was foi-
lowed by full meeting of the cabinet.

TO MINIMIZE DANGER
OF M0N0X|DE POISON
Commissioners Approve Bill Provid-
ing for Inspection Of Gas
Fixtures in Homes.

Renewing an attempt commenced two
years ago to obtain legislation design
ed to- prevent accidental deaths from
carbon monoxide poisoning. the Com
missioners today sent to Congress a
favorable report on the bill of Repre-
sentative Austin. providing for the in
spectton Of gas water heaters, gas
ranges. gas lighting fixtures and other
gas appliances in use In the District
of Columbia.
It Is estimated that twer " deaths
have been caused by defective gas ap-
planes since the introduction Of Rep
resentative Austin's bill. two years
ago. The proposed legislation was ia
vored by the last board of Commits
sioners. and the present board Is
strongly of the opinion that 1t is a
matter which should not be longer
neglected
Authority for Inspections.
II the bill becomes a law it will
confer upon the Commissioners author
ity to employ an inspection force to
investigate the condition Of gas heat
ers. stoves. fixtures and appliances in
every home In which they are installed.
covered they will be ordered corrected.
According to the Commissioner report
on the bill there are about 5000 prem
ises connected with gas mains. in which
are gas appliances Of the character
named in the bill.
1T Is reasonable to assume" states the
report that from the long years gas
water heaters and other gas appliances
have been used that many of these ap-
planes do not comply with the existing
gas regulations
Remedy Suggested. 49,,
1.-The only way the facts in the matter
can be ascertained. however. is to make
a house-to-house inspection, and with the
present force in the office Of the In
spector Of plumbing and gashtting this
cannot be done. It is believed that to
make the inspection thorough the en-
ployes named in the bill should be pro-
vided for. From time to time there have
been accidents, attended with loss of life.
due to defective gas fixtures and appli-
ances, and the Commissioners believe
that the passage Of the bill is desirable. -

Declared q Rate Increase.

After pointing out that a withdrawal
of a part of the service was an In
crease In the rates. the brief states
that cit at once occurs to one familiar
with tho facts that If q part of the
service Is not now made, at least the
cost Of that service to the carrier
should be deducted from the rate.
People are not uniformly in the habit
of paying for that which they do not
receive, certainly not without protest.
The present situation here Is less
service for the same money.
To say that when store door delivery
was inaugurated there was no addition
to the rate Is an attempt to disregard
the reasons for tho Inauguration of the
service. and the benefits thereof to the
carriers, permitting them to do business
without enormous expenditures for ade-
Quate terminals. and to secure and re-
tain traffic. also to compare conditions
half a century apart.
Since 1867 the volume Of tonnage has
materially increased: the characteristics
of transportation have materially changed
many rates have been lowered; cars have
been increased in car acity: and the stu
alton is far different in every respect lex
more) now from what it was at the close
of the civil war;"
Service Is Not Novel.
Mr.. Dash, in his brief, says that the
present service performed by the re-
spondents at and for Baltimore is the
same as that performed by them and
other carriers elsewhere; it is station
to station. terminal to terminal service.
AS TO certain hauls. tho brief continues,
the service is performed under SUBJ
stantially similar circumstances and
conditions.
If to the present rates on the first three
classes there be applied the usual tests
one finds that they are higher than to
and from and for competing localities
higher than charged for similar hauls in
the same general vicinity.
The brief embodies a mass OF tables Il
substantiate the arguments contained In
IL that the rates between the places men.
toned are higher than for TRANSPORTATION
the same distances to other points unde,
similar conditions.
In conclusion. the brief points ou
that the compliments are entitled t
rates from Boston on a basis Of 8,
cents hundred pounds; from New
York on 3o-cent basis and from
Philadelphia on q 19-cent basis. The
brief also asserts that the Baltimor1
merchants are entitled to reparation

BRIEF FOR BALTIMORE
IN FREIGHT HAUL CASE
Arguments Presented in Support Of
City's Demand foG Lower
Tariffs.

Another step IN the fight which Is
being waged by Baltimore to obtain
lower freight rates from Boston. Mass. /;
Providence. R l.; New York and Phila-
delphia was taken today when John B.
Daish, an attorney OF this city. filed
with the Interstate commerce commits
sion a brief outlining the stand OF the
Merchants and Manufacturer Asso-
citation Of Baltimore. while seeking to
have Baltimore and Ohio and other
railroads to establish lower rates.
This fight, as In Washington. Is an out
growth of the withdrawal of the free
store door delivery Of freight. The serv-
Ice was withdrawn at the same time In
both cities because the interstate COM
merce commission had ruled that 1t could
not be maintained In Baltimore and with
drawn in Washington.

Life in q civil service Office II very

It appears to have had its compensa-

going to dine out that evening, he
should not be at the office the next
