THE PUBLIC's INTEREST? ?

[ The other fact has reference to Asso- ciated Press franchises. The Evening Telegram possesses a franchise of that kind, but the Evening Sun does not. But the Morning Sun and the Herald are members of the Associated Press. oniy three or four weeks ago Mir. Munsey said that when his publication department was perfectly equipped and when his facill- ties for distribution completed, then the circulation of the Evening Sun would so rapidly increase that it would match possibly the enormous circulation or one of the evening papers of~New York, ana certainly the great circulation Of an even
 ing paper of Chicago. It would there- fore be perfectly consistent with MT Munsey's courage and his methods II ne were to combine the Telegram ana the Evening Sun thereby securing the As sociated Press franchise, and in that ana other ways facilitating the increase or CIT culation which he forecasts Undoupt- edly he has also formulated plan re- speeting the management Of the New York Herald.
 The interest in this transaction IS not confined to either the newspaper world or the man of large capltai. ne uo lie not only here, but elsewhere has re- vealed interest due probably in part 10 the romantic career of MT.

WATER FIRES COTTON
HOSE AND AROuSES
INTEREST OF FIREMEN
lRy Associated Pressl

BOSTON. Dec 22.--So much public
interest has been aroused by the phe-
nomenon developed in tests of IRE
hose here when flames broke through
cotton coating of the hose through
(which water was being forced at high
pressure, that the Fire Commissioner,
John r. Murphy. has been receiving
requests for information from all over
the country.
Ignition of a fire hose while water
was being pumped through it though
no fire was near, Is something new to
those who consider the fire-fighting
business as a science. To determine
the cause of this peculiar incident and
ascertain how to avoid it. the Boston
Fire Department will undertake a Sc
RES or tests and experiments.
Professor Augustus H. Gill, Of the
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology
at the request of Commissioner Muir
ply, examined the hose burned and,
without making a chemical analysis,
reported his belief that the hose was
ignited from excessive friction caused
by vibration between two cotton jack
cts. The hose was of the new stand

France Sees Decline
In Commodity Frices
(By Associated Press)


n PARIS, Dec. 22.-There has been a
well defined movement downward in
the prices Of a number Of commodi-
ties In France since last March.
Whether, like the last decline in
prices, it will prove merely transitory
and be followed by a reactior-send-
ing prices soaring again, remains to
be seen.
Coffee is one of the latest commodi-
ties to decrease in the wholesale
Price. The decline, however, cannot
be noticed at all in retail sales.
Ordinary red wine now sells for 1.30
francs a litre, or about quart This
is, the win rouge ordinaire" which
American soldiers used to buy at two
francs per litre. >..4 -.r
Sugar which sold as high as $50
francs a kilo now can be obtained at
SIS. The Vice-President of the
French Grocers' Union explains that
the fall is due to the decrease in the
price of sugar in America and the re
port that Cuban wholesalers are pre-
pared to export 100000 tons to
Europe. .:.
Shoes also went down following a
marked decrease in the price OF raw
hides. Raw cotton, wool and silks are
among the articles, prices Of which
have dropped.
There are, however. many commodi-
ties which have not materially de-
creased in price, such as eggs. milk,
bread and meat.

about 800 feet long. Morse gates were
placed between the first and second
length of each line and the gates were
checked down to about one-third ca
pacity, the gates on the engine outlets
being similarly reduced.
About is minutes after the engine
was started with a pump pressure OF
$50 pounds. smoke came from the hose

engine connection. Investigation
showed that the hose was very hot,
and in a moment fame burst through

1t was decided by the chiefs and ex-
perts that the checking down of the
gates had resulted in a tremendous

Of filling the hose at the coupling was
forced in at an angle. striking one side
of the hose with a fine sharp point
with sufficient force to generate heat
This point of water, together with
the friction caused by the two cotton
jackets rubbing against each other
apparently caused the fame.

several inches around the burned hole.
The conditions under which the en-

fought and for that reason the fire
fighters have only a keen academic

WILLIS FULTON, AGED 10,
ATTACKED BY A DOG
Leg Was Badly Lacerated by the
Infuriated Animal, Which
Suddenly Became Wild.

While Willis Fulton, 10 years old, of
1888 French street. was walking along
East Fourteenth street at 9 O'Clock this
morning he was knocked'down and badly
bitten in the right leg by large collie
tramp" dog. The boy went to his home
unaided, where his screams greatly
frightened his mother, Mrs. w. &. Fulton.
Patrolman Edward Blackiston, who
had come to the scene, called an am
bulance. and the boy was taken to the
Delaware Hospital. 1t was found that a
large piece of flesh had been torn away,
reaching as deep as the muscles of the leg.
The dog had been making its home
with a colored family named Ross, living
at 14l2 French street. When the attack
on Willis occurred, Louis Ross, II years
old, was taking the dog with him on a
trip for ice. He was drawing a small
wagon with one hand, and holding the
dog by It's collar with the other.
According to Louis father, w. j. Ross,
the dog escaped from the boys grasp
when the wagon overturned, and then
attacked the Fulton boy.
At the hospital it was said that Willis
is not in immediate danger. 1t has not
vet been learned whether the dog was
mad. Following the attack, the dog was
tied in the yard of the Ross house, await
ing the dog-catcher.

PALMER WON'T FREE
POLITICAL PRISONERS
Refuses Pleas by Gompers for A.
F. L., and by Socialist Rep
resentatives.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Attorney Cen
eraI Palmer refused twice yesterday to
grant a general amnesty to political
prisoners The first delegation which
visited Mr. Palmer with plea for gem
eral proclamation of this character was
headed by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor. The
other delegation was composed of repre-
sentatives of the Socialist party.
To both groups Mr.. Palmer gave the
same answer-that general proclama-
ton would lead only to confusion, and
that even were it issued, each case would
have to be reviewed separately to aseer-
tain If the individual came within the
powers of the document This course,
said Mr.. Palmer, is being followed today,
inasmuch as the Department of Justice
is examining each case OF those imprisoned
as a result of conviction under the war
time acts.
There are now only ia prisoners of
this character in Federal prisons, he>said,
and of these the sentences of Is will expire
within the next months. Already $50
have been released through communication
of sentence or other action. The cases of
eleven prisoners are now on Mr.. Paimer's
desk for review.
A large part of the time of the Socialists
Was taken up in arguing that Eugene V.
Debs, the Socialist candidate for President
should be released from prison One of the
speakers for the Socialists said that great
majority of the persons in the United
States would like to see Debs set free.

FOR INSPECTION
Splendid New Building Valuable
Acquisition to City's Educa-

EVERY DETAIL HAS
BEEN LOOKED AFTER

The new building of the Tower Hill
School, at West Seventeenth street and
Tower Road, will be open for inspection
by the patrons and friends of the institu-
ton tomorrow afternoon from until .
O'Clock. The building of this school,
which has awakened such public interest
here, is now practically finished, with the
exception of some interior work that IT
will not take long to complete and some
finishing work to.be done on the grounds
outside. Visitors viii find the school
baiildinc itself an example of the most
modern thought in design and facilities;
Its physical equipment is thoroughly com
pTehensise and its arrangement provides
in every respect for the health, comfort
and safety Of the children.
In the FIRST place, the school IS pane
prs,of and fireproof In the sense that no
harm can come to the students as q result
of any accident Of this kind. The whole
school can probably be emptied IN two
OF three minutes. The doors, giving out
from the building, are equipped with
panic bolts and it is impossible for them
TO become wedged. The halls are broad,
the classrooms have two doors each, ana
at least one of the exits, such as the large
doors in the kindergarten, open directly TO
a playground, so that the little ones merely
have TO step down and they are out OF the
building.
Even such a common fire hazard as
waste paper is taken care OF In a very Ell
