Now It Is Three to Two.

II vas not TO be. The Washington
Rail team could not quite make the
Grade yesterday In the fifth game of
the world series. and so II failed to
core the fourth victory necessary to
retain the title Of world champions.
S pitcher upon whom hopes had been
confidently placed before the series
started. and who had been just

proved to be unequal to the task, and
the enemy gained a lead that could
not be overcome.
So the series shifts back to Pitts

deciding game may be played. Decid-

pittsburgh wins this sixth game the
series will go to the ultimate limit OF
seven, with the winner Of that game
tasing the supreme title IN the sport
With the score standing three to one
il. favor Of Washington it seemed al
most assured yesterday on the eve Of
the nth game that Washington would
rake the series. But in base ball. az

Drunken Drivers.

Twelve men were brought into the
Police Court Monday charged With
driving while intoxicated. IN accord
ance with the recent orders issued by
the superintendent of police these
men were refused ball until they were
brought In to court for arraignment.
This act Is to be commended. for there
Is today no offense Of a graver nature.
But In connection with this offense
careful and accurate judgment is
needed. The charge should not rest
alone with the policenan's decision as
to the condition Of the defendant. Al
though the law states that II the
diver of an automobile has had but
ono drink Of Intoxicating liquor he
can rightfully Be charged with driving
under the influence Of liquor. the yer.
dict should come from a man duly
qualified and experienced to Judge.
The Judge In court cannot receive the
pol!ceman's testimony until a dag later
or perhaps a month.
Recently Ralph Given, assistant
United States attorney, proposed that
q police surgeon or a reputable phyH.
clan should be called when a man vas
brought into o station house on such
a charge. In this event. Mr.. Given

The Leverhulme Collections.

An announcement made some weeks
ago that the great art collection Of the
late Lord Leverhulme had been sold
to a New York gallery. probably for
dispersal through auction sale. aroused
protest In London on the score OF
the commercial disposal Of a treasure.
IT was not that the Leverhulme col.
lection WAS rated as a national art as
set In the sense Of public institution
II was a purely private assemblage Of
paintings and objects OF art II had
not been made into a permanent pub

in sone OF the European countries,
notably Italy, against the removal Of
objects OF art. The Italian law is es-
pecialiy designed to keep within the

Rochester Calls for Eelp.

The first sign III suffering from the
coal strike, whic.l started SIX weeks
ago. comes from Rochester. Accord

tive yacobstein uf lat city, tie fJei
situation there threatens 20 become
serious 4 newspaper survey d.srioses
that Il the weather continues at the
present temperature FOR two weeks
longer the local coal stock Will be eT-
hausted In case OF a sudden severe
cold spell! the supply would last only
few days, even Il carefully apportioned.
" his telegram TO the President
Representative JacoSste!n expresses
the hope that the Executive will take
the initiative to end this unfortunate
situation. He holds that Federal con.
troll OF the fuel supply Is the only
solution. OF course. Representative
Jacobstein knows that Fedora! control
Of the fuel supply can cnly be enect-
ed by act OF Congress. and that to Sc.
cure such an act 70 meet the inlmedi-
be necessary. Even with the session
called st once acton could not DO Rad,
so definite is the opposition TO any
Federal control OF utilities ana sup
plies, for several weeks.
President Rooseveits Intervention IL
the coal strike Of iscc was under ma.
teriaily different circumstances than
those Of today. TIE strike had lasted
from April /, SIX months and half.
when on the 18th OF Ot,oher the Pres!-
dent named q commission to inNesti-
gate and settle questions involved In
the deadlock between the operators
and the miners. By that time the re
serve stocks had been 80 nearly c.
hausted that the public was acutely
suffering with the approach of cold
weather. By the time the strike was
settled, October 81, the supply was
practically gone. and the weather was
sutiiciently sharp to bring the country
to the verge Of disaster.
This year coal mining was continued
trrou ghout the Summer. and when
the strike occurred the reserves were
normal. The suspension OF operations
found Washington, FOR instance, in
possession Of a SUFFICIENT stock 70 sup
ply practically all consumers for seH-
eyal months. If Rochester is IN the
situation described il is less fortunate
than the Capital IN the matter Ct coal
stock.
President Roosevelt's Intervention
was merely an executive act creating
q commission OF inquiry. That COM
mission had no power to enforce any
arbitration decision. Mr.. Roosevelt did
not call an extra session of Congress
70 deal with the emergency. relying
upon the weight Of public opinion to
carry through his commissions s dward.
Thus there is no parallel between the
proposal that now comes from Rech-
ester and the executive action OF 1892.
