Washington's Demand.

A variety Of explanations as to the
probable cause of the appalling trsg.
edy of Saturday night have been ad.
vanced. Architectural error, faulty
construction. the deterioration OF
building materials, vibration. the
stress Of possible huge pile Of snow
accumulated near the center OF the
building. have all been advanced as
theories which would solve what
stands today as a terrible mystery. 1t
is highly probable that combination
Of two or more Of these factors will
prove to be the truth in the matter.
Pending the several official investi-
cations which are to be made that the
full truth may he established, the gen.
eral public may be counted upon to
maintain an open and unprejudiced
viewpoint in the premises. Assured
that no effort will be spared in the de-
termination to locate the fearful re-
sponsibility where it belongs, the fu'
,tility of casual speculation. without

apparent to all. Nor is the insistence
of the National Capital that the guilty

the tragedy--be brought to justice

ing with which. the community has
been visited. The basic wish Of the
city az it urges the fullest inquiry into
all the facts surrounding the catas-
trophe is that, with the truth known,
every step which that truth estab-
fishes as necessary to insure against
any similar tragedy in the future shall
be taken.
There il neither need nor justifica-
ton for delaying the first steps to.
ward such insurance until the truth
as to the Knickerbocker shalr be
known. A thorough-go study OF
all local theaters, with view to de.
termining their absolute safety or
closing their doors to the public,
should be promptly undertaken by the
civil authorities. Safety from fire
should be, particularly stressed. An
extraordinary combination of circum'
stances could alone have resulted IN
the terrible accident at the Mount
Pleasant playhouse. but the menace
Of fire to the theater.going public is
ever present.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANpER JOHNSON.

My Kingdom For . Horse"
Where are you, hoss?
Long, long ago,
You were the boss
OF all the show!
But motors came
In rapid play
And made your fame
Grow less each day.
In careless pride
On level road
We'd gaily ride.
With any load, :,
While you must run
In mild disgrace
For handbook fun
An outlaw race.
Now comes a snow
And as We seek
The fireside glow
With feelings meek
We hear the chime
So far away
OF some old-tim-
.Er with a sleigh!
How sweet the sound,
While we must go
In gloom profound
To shovel snow.
Or make our way,
In dismal doubt,
To .thaw the ra-
Diator out!
Oh, Equine, gay,
We mourn your loss!
Again. we say,
Where Are You, Hoss!"

As companion she was attached to
her husband as few women are-fol-
lowing him from one health resort to
another and patiently administering
unto his wants. when reverses came
to the family she would look beyond
the clouds OF despair and picture out

AS mother she was modest, gentle

childrens willing to make any
sacrifice to promote their happiness
and welfare.
Children, although your mothers
