One of the mast interesting entertainments ever given in the hall of the Sacred Heart Church took place March 3. The programme was classical, as well as elaborate. One of the principal features was the appearance of the Oregon Male Quartet, which did great credit to itself and was repeatedly encored. The purpose of the entertainment was to celebrate the return from California of Rev. Father Gregory. Sacred Heart's pastor. Aftqr the strains of a splendid selection by the orchestra, composed of Misses Heitkemper, Deragisch, Schomus and Richards, had died away. J. Hennessey, Misses Harwas and Schomus sang a number of excellent sotos. Nellie De Vore sang several pretty cradle songs and faultlessly rendered appropriate pantomime. C. Munley delivered a speech, during which he presented Father Gregory with a beautiful gold watch in the name of the Holy Name Society. The "Tin Cannonade" of Mr. Daul was a great success. The Italian imitation 'of T. Sweeney also elicited enthusiastic applauBe. curding to Richard L. Humphrey, en gineer in charge of the structural ma terials laboratories of the Government. ii Hw.inre it in nrnvidentlal that more of these holocausts have not Recurred. Mr. Humphrey, in his official capacity. In charge of the structural material in vestigations being conducted by the technologic branch of the Ignited States tieologlcal Survey, has made a through study of flrcproorlng and is therefore well qualified to speak on this subject. "The shocking catastrophe at Collln wood. Ohio, which sent a thrill of horror into every home in the country, did not result from exceptional conditions, but conditions that are to be found in thou sands of Instances throughout the United States. The same or even worse firetraps prevail in every village and town, and indeed in many of the largo cities. Even where municipal laws are supposed to govern the erection of such structures, the conditions are often worse than in t'ollinwood. Such calamities as we have had the few months of this year do not come as a matter of surprise to anyone versed in the subject. The only surprise Is that these catastrophes do not occur more frequently throughout this great country. l-'iredrills Not Enough. "The newspapers axe now filled with statements made by school officials, call ing attention to the necessity of lire drills that these flro drills will prevent the loss of life from fire. Necessary and excellent as they are in their place, noth ing could be more fallacious than such a general proposition. What is needed, as has been repeatedly pointed out, is the erection of structures which have the greatest resistance to fire. From what 1 can learn, the lire drill at Collinwobd had started, but the school building was snch a flimsy tinder box that the fire traveled through the hallways and up the stairs faster than any possible lire drill. In such a building, and there are many of them, the fire will always win the: race over the frantic children. Had the interior of the t'ollinwood school lieen reasonably fireproof, the loss of life would have been very much less and possibly no lives would have been lost. "Laws should be enacted to prohibit the erection of anything except a struc ture of the highest Are-resisting type, especially when it is to be used as a school, hospital, theater, or other struc ture in which people assemble in large numbers, who In the event of a great tire, such as happened at t'ollinwood, would be to a certain extent helpless, in our hospitals and public schools, it would appear unwise to erect structures of more than two stories In height. In such buildings. In addition to wide stair ways, 1 would have one or two chutes or tubes leading from the top story to the ground. These would prove not only much safer than tire escapes, but also a much more rapid means of exit. Commercial Interests Dominate. fThe question of the height of build ings and the character of the interior Mrm-tures is continually agitating public officials, but commercial interests seem to dominate, and buildings are erected that are known not to be the most safe lor the purpose. This condition pertains as much to municipal structures as to any otiier class of buildings. It is a fact the money available for schools, hos pitals and other municipal structures is usually inadequate for the purpose, and the officials In charge, in order to keep within the appropriation, are forced to .rect cheap, flimsy buildings that are not fireproof. 'While the relative fire-resisting quali ties of fireproof materials is not yet en tirely established. It is a fact that these properties arc sufficiently well known to permit the erection of reasonably fire proof structures. Vet in the face of all this. buildings are continually being ( reeled with materials known not to pos sess an adequate resistance to fire, and thene buildings are a menace to the eities in which they are erected. The "lty. of New York Is full of fire-traps, and it Is a miracle that a great fire has not wiped out the greater part of the business district. "The remedy for these conditions is not in elaborate systems for fighting fire, or any elaborate fire drills, which may or may not be effectively carried out. but in tho onnctnipnt of stHet mtinioinal lavt J compelling the erection of structures en- tirely nreproofed with materials of the highest quality and especially in the pre vention of the erection of flimsy struc tures, where women and children gather In large numbers, as. for example, schools, theaters hospitals and similar buildings. Unless such action is taken greater calamities than those at Collin wood and Boyertown, attended by even greater loss of life, will undoubtedly oc cur. "The continual increase in the height of buildings, for office or mercantile pur poses, as in the City of New York, gives rise to many problems. One of the most important is - the question of handling through the streets the immense popula tion crowded In a very small district. As this congestion increases through the erection of these great buildings, it will be necessary In the near future to double deck the-streets in-order to accommodate this immense population and also to mul tiply the present transportation facilities. It is apparent, therefore, that a great calamity in the shape of a fire such as visited Baltimore and San Francisco must necessarily be the means of destroying the lives of. many people who would be unable to get away in safety with the facilities now existing. "Buildings should not be erected so high as to prevent the fire department MALE QUARTET GIVES CONCERT AT SACRED HEART from fighting a blaze in the upper parts of such structures, unless these buildings are supplied with fire-fighting apparatus of their own, capable of taking care of any fire beyond the reach of the firemen. At present the average fire department is helpless or seriously handicapped in suc cessfully coping with the fire in a build ing over 150 feet high. This means that the firemen can take fare of the first 15 stories of a skyscraper. Beyond that, ?ne tall buildings will have to look out for their own safety against fire. "It is a matter of record borne out by insurance statistics that this country spends enormous sums of money in pro viding equipment for fighting fires, while foreign countries spend their money in building structures which offer the great est resistance to fire. The per capita loss in this country yearly exceeds $3, as against an anual loss in 21 of the princi pal cities of Europe of 33 cents per cap ita. Estimating the population of the country at 80.000.000. the loss from fires here is ti40.OUO.000: if we had the same conditions, that prevail in European cities, our loss would be but $2S, 400.000 a year. "Statements have appeared in the daily papers throughout the country that the school building at Collinwtaod and the Parker building in New York were ex amples of reinforced concrete construc tion, and these fires proved the worth lessness of this clafs of construction. Neither building "contains any reinforced concrete. Concrete lias been demon strated to be one of the very best ma terials for ftreprooflng purposes, and its increased use will add materially to the public safety." RUEF, MAKES A STATEMENT Assails Judge Dunne and Declares Honey's Charges Perjury. SAN FRANCISCO. March 14. Abra ham Ruef Issued a statement to the public tonight, in which he bitterly at tacks Judge Dunne, and members of the prosecution. He says Judge Dunne is prejudiced and is unqualified to ry any man. He denies all the allegations In the sworn statements of the prose- J cutors. and declares that the affidavits j of Hepcy and the others are a mass of perjury. Dunne's action, he says, is an Insult to Rabbis Kaplan and Nieto. Rabbi Kaplan also issued a state ment tonight, denying many of the al legations made in the prosecution's af fidavits filed in Judge Lawlor's court. Xtw Coin on Exhibition. PORTLAND. Or., Feb. 29. (To the Edi tor.) A KM piece of the St. Gaudens de sign from the original die has been lent to the Art Association by J. W. New kirk and is now on exhibition. But 12.500 of these were issued, and then abandoned, the very high relief rendering them im practicable for "stacking." as welKas of fering difficulties in minting by the usual modern methods. As a work of the med allist's art. however, it possesses fine qualities, and it is interesting to com pare it with the examples of the later issue, which have been on exhibition for tho last few weeks. These latter from the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints, are after the same desisn modified for practical use, and much of the beauty depending on the delicate play of surface is necessarily lost. It is a remarkable in dication of public taste that recognition of the superiority of these coins has been so slow. Most of the trivial criticism as to literal "true to nature" would apply equally to the old familiar types, which the distinction -of the new designs, the skill with which the composition tills the field, the beauty of the lettering even have been ignored. It has been said that "they have had precisely the same re ception that would be given a great por trait In a community where nothing bet ter than a village photograph had ever been known." X. LITTLE Hudson Maxim Decries Dan ger of Aero-Warships: NEED A STRONGER NAVY Says Armaments Are Xccesaary to Enforce International Law and . Bring About Universal Peace ' Tells of Japanese Purchases. NEW TORK. March 14. Expressing the belief that, an aerial navy will be a step In the final conquest of war, Hudson Maxim, inventor of explosives and first maker of smokeless powder in this coun try, speaking tonight at the second an nual banquet of the Aero Club of New York at the St. Regis, declared that we must have armaments in order to force international law and that we need a stronger Navy. ' . Mr. Maxim surprised his auditors by- A. XV. LABBIBG, declaring that the Japanese Had recently purchased of a steel company at Newark, N. J., 3000 tons of rifle barrels, "rifles enough to arm 750.000 men." Most of the rifles, the speaker stated, were in the hands of the Japanese troops. Mr. Maxim, speaking of the part the flying machine would play in war, said: "Some terrible things have been pre dicted for the flying machine as a war "engine. It is comforting to know that no very great loss of life or property would result from dynamite dropping from flying machines, for the reason that it requires confinement to work very wide destruction. Half a ton of dynamite dropped upon the four-inch deck of a battleship might kill a few men, wreck some of the superstructure and dent the deck a bit. but the de struction would not be widespread and the crew below would not be injured. "Dropped on coast fortifications, the damage would be negligible. Half-ton bombs dropped into the streets of a large city or on .top of the great build ings would wreck a few foundations, break a lot of glass and kill a few people, "The flying machine will have very great use in war as a scoutng craft fpr the purpose of locating an enemy and inspecting his position, but the enemy will have his aerial pickets out too and there will be many a tilt in the air be tween the warring craft." CHINESE SPRINTER1S RAPID In Sue tioes 50 Yards in 1:05 1-5 in Games at Honolulu.- The Hawaiian record for the amateur 50-yard d.u?h was broken by En Sue. a Chinese, at the field-day events given by the young Chinese of Honolulu, in cele bration of the Chinese New Year. En Sue made the dash in Kfc 1-5, his nearest competitor being John Lo, another young Chinese. For several years the younger genera tion of Chinese have celebrated Chinese New Year by a series of field and track evenLs. in which the entries are limited to those of Chinese blood. The Consul-General and the leading Chinese merchants have given their patronage to these affairs, and they have always aroused a great deal of enthusiasm. Mme. Chang Tso-Fan, wife of the Chinese Consul, has nearly always awarded the trophies, usually lesi or garlands of flowers. ; These events are always strictly ama teur, though like all other athletic events in Honolulu they are not held under the control of the American Association, but the rules are observed. En Sue, besides being a track athlete, is considered the best third baseman and the best base runner in the Hawaiian Islands. INDIAN SCARES CHAMBERMAID Cheyenne Rolls in Blanket and Sleeps on Bedroom Floor. . Glen Warner, the famous coach of the Carlisle Indian football team, tells a good Indian road story "There are many funny things." says Warner, "that hap pen, on our trips, such as putting sugar and cream in bouillon cups and mistaking olive oil for syrup, eac; but the mistakes Indian lads make are not as many nor as bad as white boys of the same ex perience and educational advantages would make under like conditions, because they are so observing. "The beds at Carlisle are very hard. and often when on trips the boys do not like tiie soft beds and take a blanket and sleep on the floor. W HARM "Once while stopping at the Princeton Inn a big typical Cheyenne Indian took the blanket from the bed and slept under the bed on the floor. "In the morning the chambermaid looked in, and seeing the bed empty, thought the room was vacant and started to make up the bed when the Indian stuck his head out from under the bed to see what was going on. The girl ran scream ing to the oflice for protection." t Bowling Prizes Announced. ROCHESTER. N. T., March 14. Leading men and teams and the prizes in ull events were announced today at the close of the two weeks' tourna ment of the National Bowling Asso ciation.

John Smith, living at 42 Cora street, was shot three times by his wife tonight, and his dead body is presumed to be lying in some out-of-the-way place near the remote home of the couple. Neighbors heard the shots and went to the place. They saw Smith crawling away from the house, but he had dis appeared before they got to him, and has not been found. His wife, Frances Anna Smith, ad mits having fired four shots at him, three of which, she says., took effect, but she will say nothing as to the cause of the shooting. The placn- is five miles from "the center of the city, and in a place where the residences are scattered, and nobody heard , the disturbance before the shots were fired. Mrs. Smith has been taken to jail. MARRIAGE LAW STRICTER Pope's Recent Decree Will Be Read in New York Churches Today. NEW YORK. March 14.
