The Convention City.

Washington is rapidly earning The
enviable title of being the convention
city Of the world. With eight con
ventions national in charac ter. sched-
ucd to meet in the National Capital
within the next five weeks it seems
as If the dream of those citizens who
for MANY years have striven for recoS-
milton of the District as the most de.
sirablc city for national conferences
IS about TO be realized.
Washington, the seat of the govern
ment. is the ideal spot for gatherings
of all kinds. Its hotels are among the
best in the world. Its public audi
torium is commodious. Its climate
is delightful and its citizenry heartily
welcomes visitors from all portions Of
the globe. Not only has the National
Capital these factors in its favor, but
it is accustomed to big things and is
able comfortably TO accommodate
huge assemblage.
Delegates To conventions in this city
have a wide choice of both amuse-
mcnt and historical exploration. M.
Vernon. the home OF the Father of
Our Country is but a step from the
city and is made easy of access
through modern means of transports
ton, and if Congress Is in session
visitors from the states NAV see their
own Legislators in action. Thea,ers in
Washington produce The best and
latest plays and this applies equally
TO the legitimate stage and moving
pictures.
That WaShington's many advan-
taGeS us a convention city are becom
ing recognized throughout the United
States is shown in the steady increase
in the number of national headouar-
ters being established here. Practi-
Cally every orga MIA ton with
nationwide membership or nation
wide interests has installed an office
in this city. One of the primary
reasons. of course. is the presence of
Congress, but a dominant reason is
Washington's qualification as an ideal
city for the meeting place of all Amer
leans.

Industrial Neglieence.

Al meeting of the Midwest Safety
Conference the other day in Chicago a
speaker, representing one of the lars-
est manufacturing corporations in this
-Eeountry, declared that the real safety
problem in the prevention of indus
trial accidents is how to create and
maintain the interest of employees in
. safeguarding themselves. Employers
have long recog nized this need and
have known that negligence on the
part Of the workers is the chief cause
of industrial mishaps.
Protective devices and safety ap-
planes ara repeatedly ignored by
workers, who grow Indifferent to dan
ger and impatient of restraints which,
especially in piecework, check their
speed. They are prone to take short
cuts, to save time, with often the re-
suit of losing limbs, If not lives. Safe
'-ty rules in factories printed in various
8 languages according to the nationali.
ties employed are observed for a time
and then disregarded by many of the
workers. This is particularly true in
r!ines, where rules against carrying
opsn.tars lamps or striking matches

The Toledo Crimes.

\ series of revolving crimes has
been committed in the City of Toledo
during the last eight months, with the
quest is held over the body of the
latest victim, than they were at first
Seven women have been attacked and
fiendishly beaten and stabbed and
otherwise maltreated Three of them
have died, the other victims recover
ing from their injuries. The first one
survived for three and A half months,
Tut died without being able to give a
coherent account of the attack upon
her. The latest victim was slain out,

Irregular intervals have elapsed be-
tween these crimes. The first was
committed on the e5th of May. the sec
ond on the 10Th of August, the third
on the Goth Of October, the next three
on the 18th, 18th and 18th of Novem-

later. That these crimes have all been
committed by one person is the police
theory, based upon the fact that evil

ployed. None of the survivors has
been able TO give a description of her
assailant. All of the women have
been attacked, it would seem, at night.

There Is No Filibuster.

TO the country for a change of the
Senate rules. which now permit un.

this by an experience in the Senate

sional Record. this is what happened.
Nh Reed of Missouri addressed the
Senate. After having spoken for
nearly an hour, he sent TO the desk
and the chief clerk read an article

Mr.. Curtis-Mr. President does the
Senator from Missouri desire to con
Clude his speech tonight?
Mr.. Reed of Missouri do not
Mr.. Curtis-Then if the Senator will
yield TO me I will make a motion.
The Vice President-Does the Sen
ator from Missouri yield to the Sen

Mr.. Reed of Missouri will be glad

Mr.. Curtis-I move that the Senate
take a recess until II O'Clock tomor-

Mr.. Reed of Missouri suggest 10
the Senator that he make it l. O'Clock.
Mr.. Curtis-We cannot do that
Thereupon the Senate at SIS O'Clock
took a recess. The Record contains
this remark in brackets: The speech
