Identifer of Edgar"
Dies in Subway Train
Rr dSsocinted Press

New York. March 20.-An elderly
man, believed from papers he carried
to be Perrin H. Sumner. who was once
known to the police as "the great
American identifier." died of heart dis
ease in a subway train late last night.
Sumner won the title in the late
nineties by identifying unclaimed bod
les of suicides as mythical English
man named Edgar. The identifications
always proved false, and what he
wanted of a dead Englishman named
Edgar always remained a mystery
Sumner was involved in many diff
culties in this and other cities through
his financial operations and served a
term in Sing Sing for grand larceny.

SENATOR WORKS SHOWN UP

\ Washington dispatch sent out
Wednesday night in the telling OF the
story OF the proceedings in the senate
during the discussion of the resolu-
ton authorizing the president to up
hold the dignity OF the United States
in Mexico contained the following:
a new resolution to accept the
apologies already offered by HUI
erta as sufficient reparation" for
the Tampico incident was intro
duced by Senator Works, republi-
can.
This same Senator Works has been
getting a good deal of publicity lately
through his attempts to discredit the
administration. but in none of them
has such a good opportunity been
given TO size him up for Just what he
is. In order TO humiliate the presi-
dent and the administration in general
he IS willing to see his country dis
credited and dishonored. His resolu-
ton. If sustained, would have meant
abject subsection to the insults OF
petty tyrant who II has since been
shown set out deliberately to provoke
this country into interference in order
to better his own position. II was of
fered az a time when the first steps in
actual war had been taken and there
could be no thought Of going back. |
For pinheaded. peanut politics this
has seldom. If ever. been excelled.
Senator Works, by this resolution
alone showed that he is either too |
narrow and bigoted or else too lacking !
IN ordinary common sense to hold a !
seat In the United States senate. His /
type of craftsmanship would scarcely |
pass muster in the average board OF
village trustees.
However. the resolutions did not re-
ceive any attention in the senate and
so no real harm was done. and the
fact OF its presentation will serve to
place Senator Works in his proper
niche in the popular estimation.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
CONGRESSMAN from the Fourteenth District

that the biz will be adopted by n two
thirds majority.
Leaving aside sins for high fare. re
fusal to exchange transfers, watered
stock jobbing deals and other mis-
deeds. the Washington lines have TAX
en- advantage of and turned into profits
a custom which prevails in Washing
| ton to a greater extent than in any
other American city. In Washington
men invariably surrender their street
car seats to women when cars. are
| crowded
Consequently, on most of the lines in
Washington the cars are run just often
enough TO guarantee standing room
only. This is not only true at the
rush hours, when patrons expect to
stand, but at the slackest times of the
day. In the middle of the afternoon
cars are taken off the streets, so that
the few left running will be crowded
with straphangers.
"Manana."
''AIanana" the Spanish word for to-
morrow, accounts for much of the diff
difficulty in dealing with the Mexican
situation. The Mexican character alb
solutely prevents obedience to an or
der when the order is given. There
must be delay-the action can be put
off until the last moment-in short,
"manana."
Therefore, Americans should not be-
come unduly excited when Huerta dis
plays reluctance in acceding to the
demands of President Wilson. 1t is
utterly impossible for Huerta to act at
once. 1t is his Mexican temperament.
He must wait until the expiration of
the time limit. Then he will probably
do what he intended to do all the time,
and the situation loses acuteness.
Whatever the outcome of the pres
ent crisis, there are certain to be flu
ture crises brought about by this char
acteristic of the Mexican temperament.
Americans should remember this and
make allowances.

STATE CLEANUP MOVEMENT

The mere honor of being recognized
as the cleanest city or the cleanest
town should be enough TO spur com
munities on to clean up and keep clean
but Utah cities and towns which gain
the reputation this summer will re
Z ceive, in addition to the honor, valu'
able prizes to be awarded by the Utah
Development league, a state organiZa-
ton which is doing just what its name
implies. This league has started state
wide "clean city" contests, open to all
cities and towns OF over 500 popula-
ton.
This first big state contest to in

spirit in communities. has been tried
on a less extensive scale among Texas
cities between 5000 and 1880 popu'
lation, the winner among which. Bon
ham, IS already being heralded the
country over as the cleanest city in
Texas" a distinction very much worth
while. This contest was conducted by
a magazine and was won by Bonham
through the organized work OF its
board OF trade. Spurred on by the
double desire to win the title and also
secure the sanitary drinking foun-
tains offered to the schools OF the sue
cessfuI city, Bonham's business men
enlisted the aid OF the boy scouts.

well known citizen. Every lot. home.
dooryard. alley and street was closely
inspected and criticized and property
owners and tenants readily entered up
on the cleanup work under the direc-
tiOn of these leaders.
Winning OF the drinking fountains
was incidental. Bonham did actually
clean up and keep clean and fits fame
spreads after as a result. The Utah
contest covers n wider range OF cities
and villages, which are divided into
classes according to population. The
league has supplied the necessary or
ganised competition as a spur and In
spiratiOn for civic pride. II IS believed
every community in the state Will enter
the contests, which the league direct
ors rightly surmise will result in more
