Treasury Fires.

I When about three months ago a fire
occurred on the roof Of the Treasury
building, where a new structure is
being erected, it was attributed to the
careless disposal of materials used by
the builders. Precautions were sup
posedly taken to prevent a repetition.
Yet last night another fire occurred,
of the same character and in the same
place, and the present belief is that it
came from the same source. Evident
ly the precautions were not effective.
Short of incendiarism 1t Is almost
incredible that two such similar fires
could occur in a place so closely
guarded as the Treasury building. A
rigid investigation, therefore, is re-
quired. The government has lost in
these two blazes a large sum Of
money, besides the long delay in &C.
commodations which the new work is
designed to afford. But far beyond
the question Of loss is that of efficient
custody and care. A business estab-
lishment would undoubtedly reduce to
the lowest point the possibility of re-
currence. The government should do
no less. If crime has been com.
mitted it is vitality important to de-
tect it.

Here Lies John Doe,

John Doe is dead. Although he was
not known to have an enemy in the
world. he was suddenly set upon as
he was entering the Supreme Court
room at Washington by a group of
men OF whom only William Howard
Taft, Willis Van Devanter and James
c. McReynolds have been positively
identified. Too much surprised to re-
sist, he was quickly dispatched. Thus
ends a long and useful career Mr..
Doe prided himself upon being the
oldest plaintiff in ejectment pro-
ceedings known to legal annals. 1t is
not too much to say that he gave
almost his entire time to this work, in
which he found congenial occupation.
No more democratic character ever
breathed. Anybody who desired to
see little ejecting done, or at least
undertaken. had only to apply to
Mr.. Doe. His death is enveloped in
mystery. One of his assailants was
overheard to mutter something about
Bill in Equity: Who this Bill is Is un-
certain. Detectives are proceeding on
the theory that the words refer to
some bitter rivalry unknown to the
public.
Does closest associate, Richard Roe,
disappeared as soon as the news of
Does death became public. Whether
he also Is the victim of foul play or
has taken alarm and is in hiding can
only be conjectured.-New York Post

Pistol Carrying.

Judge Mattingly, in the Police Court
yesterday, in sentencing two men for
carrying concealed weapons, told them
that they were getting comparatively
light sentences, and took occasion
then to announce that while he is on
the bench in that court he will here
after give the limit to such offenders.
One of these two men got ninety days
and The other a fine Of $50 or sixty
days. The limit is one year in jail
and $500 fine. 1t IL to be hoped that
tits warning will be heard by those
who are carrying weapons. The prac-
tice Of "gun.toting" can only be broken
up by applying the law in its utmost
rigor. It Is a menace to the public
safety. Murders are usually COM
mitted by those who have formed this
habit Of going armed with deadly
Weapons. It is far better to put the
law on those who are caught to it's
full severity than to have them later

American Hospitality.

Marshal Jcffre is reported as saying
that he means to come back to Amer
lea because he has had only a glimpse
Of the country and wants to know it
better. Perhaps the thought that was
in Papa" Joffre's mind was that he
means to come back to the United
States to have a good time and get a
reasonable view Of the country and its
people.
The great Frenchman had a tri.
umphal tour. He changed from one
reception committee to another. He at.
tended ceremony after ceremony in
quick succession. He sat at one BAN
quet after another. He listened to
one speech Of welcome after another,
all much alike. Eulogy after eulogy
on France and the French was poured
into his ear. All this may be very
grand. very exciting ard very COM
plimentary, but it must also be very
firing if not really tiresome. AS a
means of seeing a country and its peo-
pie it is q poor substitute for travel
ing and meeting many kinds Of peo-
pie in normal way.
America will be glad to see Joffre
at any time and hopes that he will
understand that the United States is
not composed of reception committees
and receptions, banquet committees
and banquets. corner stone layings
and monument dedications.
