Grease on CARPETS.

An excellent paste for extracting
grease from carpets is made by mix
ing fuller's earth with little am
monia. The mixture should be quite
thick and should be applied with a
lavish hand. Let it remain on the car
pet over night; then brush it of with
stiff brush. Sometimes it is neces-
sary to put on second supply. If the
colors of the carpet are delicate and
there is danger Of discoloration the
ammonia may be omitted. Should the
tone of the carpet seem to be dull after
the grease Is out the color may be
freshened by sweeping the carpet with
moist salt.

The Free Rides Bill.

A favorable report has been made by
the House subcommittee on the Kahn bill
to allow policemen and firemen to ride
free on all the local street car lines. This
bill should be put on its passage without
delay so that 1t can become a law before
the adjournment of the present session.
1t restores the former status in this mat
ter of transporting the members of the
police and fire departments. They are
to be carried without fares on the show
ing Of their badges, as in the days before
it was discovered that the public utilities
commission law prohibited free trans
portation of any kind. This is much
preferable to a system of appropriations
for the purpose of paying the fares of
policemen and fremen. Funds allotted by
Congress for such an object are seldom
adequate. and on an appropriation basis it
is almost certain that there would be
deficits. The street railway companies
enter no objections to the free carrying
of the policemen and firemen. Indeed.
they are glad to have these men use the
cars freely, for their presence on them
is an assurance of order. In view Of re-
cent happenings on the local street cars
1t is obviously desirable to encourage the
policemen to use them unstintedly and
this can most effectively be done by the
adoption of the Kahn bill

Bridge. Cars and Public Facility.

Very properly the plans for the pro-
posed new bridge to replace the Aqueduct
are being considered by the Commits
sioners with reference to the matter
of street car availability. and they
are disposed on that score to recommend
strongly against the occupation by the
new bridge of the old site. where now the
car lines concentrate, with serious con-
gestion. 1t may be unfortunate on some
accounts to cause a change from the
present situation, where heavy invest
ments have been made by the car COM
panies with a view to permanent occu-
patton. But the public convenience is
the paramount consideration. and on that
score the Commissioners are inclined to
advocate a lower location where the cars
can be brought directly into the city from
Virginia, without imposing upon the pas
sengers the necessity of transfers. From
Baltimore and Annapolis cars are run
into the center of town. Also from AL
exandria and Mount Vernon, also from
Rockville. and from Laurel. from Cabin
John bridge and from Forest Glen. In
the same way cars from Great Falls
should be sent through to such central
point that the majority Of the riders to and
from the city can gain access to them
along the urban route rather than at q
single point Of assured and serious con-
sestion- II this change involves expense

incidental to the development of the

Dynamite Deaths.

Three deaths are ascribed by the cor
oner's jury in the case Of the recent
sewer tunnel accident in this city to the
failure Of some one unknown" to take
proper precautions in the blasting. 1t is
SUSPECTED that a charge of dynamite had
been left unexploded In the rock the day
before the accident and detonated by the
drill with which the laborers were max
ing holes for another series of blasts
This is not an uncommon form Of mishap
in works in which dynamite Is used, but
1t is nevertheless the result of gross care
lessness, and the authorities in charge
OF such works should always bear this
possibility in mind and as far as may be
take precautions. A certain number Of
holes are drilled in the material to be
blasted and the charges inserted. The
spark is applied and the dynamite lets

The Newman Case.

office by the advancing Of technicalities

his position pending the settlement of
his final appeal The court has granted
him supersedeas. whereby he Is now
maintaining himself in office despite
the judgment of the trial court to the
effect that he is not resident" in the
terms of the law. 1t is question of
great interest whether such a judg-
ment can be temporarily set aside or
ignored. But it is of greater interest
and more Importance to secure from
the Court of Appeals a final ruling
upon the proceedings in the court be-
low, which will definitely settle the
matter. save in the event of the grant
Of a special appeal to the United States
| Supreme Court to the issue of a writ
of certiorari by that court.
! Apart from the question Of pro-
priety. which some urge as an argu-
| ment for the immediate retirement of
| the Commissioner from office in recog-
milton Of the jury's verdict, a willing
ness to abide by which was inferential-
ly indicated by the acceptance of the

ing such a trial, there is no specific
| obligation on the part of the Commits
sioner to withdraw from an Office which
he has been now proclaimed ineligible
to occupy. A voluntary retirement
would save expense and embarrass-
ment. while perhaps leaving the mat
ter unsettled to the full limit of the
courts power Of review. It would in
cidentally remove all thought from the
public mind that there is possibly a de-
| sign or a hope to prolong the proceed
ings sufficiently to encompass a quail
flying period of residence.
All these considerations apart, it is
| incumbent upon both the complainants
and the defendant in this important
case to press to final decision with the
least confusion of issues and the least
delay. unless Mr.. Newman heeds the pub

There would be danger for them, how

ment would subordinate state issues to
national issues. It would be charged
and with considerable reason, that both
men had 1916 in view. Mr.. Roosevelt
with his eyes fixed on the presidency. and
Mr.. Perkins with his eyes fixed on the
Secretaryship of the Treasury. Local bull
moose success this year would speed up
bull moosers everywhere for two years
hence. when a bull moose triumph would
make it easy for Mr.. Perkins to resign
from the Senate and accept the portfolio
of finance in the Roosevelt cabinet
Because of the danger. it is most un-
likely that the arrangement as it relates
to Mr.. Perkins will be made. State is

and expecting the worst. They have
failed in both state and city affairs, and
are at loggerheads generally.
In the case of Mr.. Perkins it is to
be repeated, as The Star pointed out sew
eral weeks ago, that he would not be
at his best in the Senate. His training
thorough in its way-has not qualified
him for effective work in that field. He

Mr.. Warburg and Mr.. Jones.

The Senate banking committee was
within its rights in asking for the fullest
Information respecting Paul NJ. Warburg
and Thomas D. Jones. The places to
which they had been appointed were OF
the highest Importance Both men, most
favorably known in their respective To-
calities were wholly unknown to the
country at large. Not half dozen SEN
ators had ever heard of either.
No greater responsibility devolves upon
the Senate than that pertaining to ap-
pointments to office. 1t shares with the
President in that matter. He nominates,
and it confirms if its Judgment agrees
with his If il differs with him about a
nomination it is in duty bound to record
that difference. In the exercise of its
Judgment the Senate has saved the coun-
try on more than one occasion in times
past when the President had acted with
out the best advice.
Curiosity as to both Mr.. Warburg and
Mr. Jones was naturally whetted when
their business connections became known.
The democratic cry in 1912 was against
the trusts and Wall street. That party S
spellbinders everywhere charged that the
republican party was dominated by trust
and Wall street influences, and promised
that democratic success should mean
complete enforcement of such influences
from the affairs of the government.
And vet here were two men-the one
connected with trust on the democratic
party's black list. and the other a figure
of great force in Wall street-indorsed
by the President, selected by him with
knowledge of their business affiliations.
for places on a federal board created to
exercise new and far-reaching powers.
Were not senators, democrats and repub-
licans alike, justified in asking for the
fullest particulars?
Mr.. Jones, a native American familiar
with our institutions, responds promptly
to the Senate's request, presents him
self. and answers all questions frankly.
Mr.. Warburg. foreign born and unfa-
miliar with our political customs. denies
the Senate's request for an interview,
and keeps his distance.
Mr.. Jones made the better decision.
Although he put of the crown Of trust
reformer that had been pressed down on
his head, he defended his course as q
trust factor and the course Of his trus,
associates, and in doing so impressed the
committee with his courage and open
ness.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Warburg, his
course invites such criticism as injuries
maybe unjustly-both himself and the
President. He Is a high-class man In

pliment.

The spirited fire horse. dashing through

much as we shall miss the thrill sight

should give way before the inexorable
march Of the automobile. Fire Commits
