Kire Chief Edward K. Croker. or
uo Now York fire department, in a
tUr received by the Commissioners
-day. volunteers to reorganize the t"iS
Hct fire department for "a reasonable
onsid'1 ration."
. hlef Croker was one of the witnesses
flio testified In the trial of Deputy
iilcf Engineer Andrew J. Sullivan on
nurses growing out of the trapping or
nc men in the Ten-Cent Store building.
n Seventh street.
The trial board that heard the Sulli
an case, met la executive session To
day to consider the 1,20) pases or evi
dence in the case, It Is understood the
board reached a conclusion on thet
charges against Sullivan, but furtneri
consideration is necassary to raiue tiiel
recommendations asked by the Com-.
snissioners..
Superintendent of Insurance Nesnlt.1
member of the board, will leave this
vealng for Pittsburgh and will not
return until Monday. The findings m
the case will not bo made public until I
next week. !
After perusal of the letter from Chief J
Yolcer, Commissioner Siddona declared!
oday: "My presumption is, that if it)
.s decided a reorganization of the Kirej
'xpartment is necessary, the Commis-.
loners themselves will be ab.e to han
dle the matter."
Chief Croker offers in his letter to
rlace the District Fire Department on
i most efficient basis. He said:
In view of the trial of Deputy Fire
hief Sullivan, together with statements
made by Chief Turner (probably Wag
cer), I would be most pleased to have
an opportunity of taking up with your
ooard a proposition of a thorough in
spection of your department with a
lew of furnishing you with a written
"uorl and recommendations for the re-
ganization of vour department on an
p-to-date and efficient basis, including
-ie services of a retired officer of tl"
Vetv York department to properly in
struct vour men in even phate of fire
ghting. care. "te. and handling of
to!s, apparatus, etc., issuing of proper
ia:iual governing discipline, etc., etc.
"Thcte is no doubt from a lire stand
cm. your department Is very much in
d of such service, and for a reason
ble fee, I would be pleased to take
arge of placing your department on a
est '(IKIent basis."
'hief Croktr is now president and
reasurer .f the Croker National Fire
Invention Engineering Company, with
""ices in New York.
otT'inif-sioner Slddons said today It h
s jndersianding that the trial board
t .e Sullivan case. Is to submit cer-
;m lcomtnendations for changes in I
'he rulej and regulations of the depart-T-nt
and pending the verdict the Com
rjtsaunets can take no action in re-
ard to the offer made by Chief Croker.
'Changes, if any are necessary, can
not be determined." he said, "until we
iave before us the findings of th trial
hoard."
CHUN LETTER
Outlook for Representation Is
Bright. Assert Members of
the Association.
Now that tlie hearings on the District
appropriation bill have been concluded
and the committee will soon have fin
ished the task or going over the items
of the bill in detail, the Senate Com
mittee on the District of Columbia will
toon take up the consideration of the
I'olndextcr delegate bill, which pro
vides for thi' representation or the Dis
trict of Columbia in Congiess by a
delegate.
Chairman John Walter Smith, of the
Senate committee which has charge of
the T.dndexter delegate bill, s-tated to
dav that he would call a meeting of the
District Committee to consider the
Pntnrtuvr.-ir measure, providing for
District delegate, as soon as the Dis- j
trlct appropriation bill is out or the i
way. which ne tninKs may i-e me ta

the progress the committee can mane

The outlook for the oassage of the
Tolndexter measure is bright, accord
ing to officers of the District Delegate
Association. Chairman Roy C. Clatlin
yesterdav forwarded to the Senate Dis
trict Co'mmittec the following letter,
urging favorable action on the Poln
dexter bill:
Bestows Right To Vote.
"To the United States Senate Commit

and the Poindexter bill provides for a
most complete, modern, and efficient
basic election law. This law could later
be made to Include any other elective
officers for the District, with tho ad
vantage that thl3 law would then havo
been given the test of actual operation.
"Not only should the Pomdexter dele
gate bill be made a law as a matter
of expediency both to the Congress und
the people of the National Capital, but
above nil, aside from the innumerable
practical advantages most sure to be
derived, this representation should be
granted to this community of over a.
quarter million of American citizens as
a matter of Justice and common sense.

your Icner until you have safely
married him a prize to be attained
onlj at the goal.
"Don't let your fellow kiss you
until Dan Cupid has loped, thrown,
and oranded him at the altar.
"He kind, but don't be yielding.
Be patient, but be strict. Your lips
are a .-an.'tuary- to which marriase
alone is the open sesame."
Thus Recorder Stackhouse, sitting
in tile Camden court, laid down the
rules of courtship for young girls
treading the path of love. According
to this legal authority, a girl should '
never allow her fiance even one kiss
until the words have been spoken
and the knot tied.
The judge doesn't believe in a cold
courtship, but neither does ho believe
in a girl strewing her favors lavish
ly. It's all right for a girl to be
ardent in her affections, but she
Bhould place an embargo on kissing,
he says.
Recorder Stackhoue wound up his
magisterial monologue as follows:
"Keep him guessing. Hold the prizo
just beyond his lips. Don't let him
win too easily, or ho won't think tho
prize worthy. Too great familiarity
breeds contempt, and even In mar
riage there should be a wall of In
dividuality maintained. But, above
all, keep him guessing till he Inhales
the sweet perfume of the orango

Clapp Criticises Women
Who Oppose Suffrage
"The question of woman surag Is
not 'Whv should they have the vote?'

Commissioner of Corporations Joseph

The commissioner states in his report
Thnt the bureau expended liW3.1i of

'he number of jersons employed at the

in Congress by a delegate.
"The passage of this bill will restore
to the oOO.OuO citizens of the National
Capital the right bestowed on all quali
fied American citizens, the light to
vote.
"It will give to this community, tho
population of which is greater than that
of each of eight States of the Union,
the privilege of being represented by
one of their number in their legisla
tive assembly, a right not denied to
anv otlier American political entity.
"The enacting of this bill into law
will afford a much needed official con
necting link between Congress and the
people of the District of Columbia over
whom they exercise absolute control.
"This will result in" the elimination of
much embarrassing and detrimental
misunderstanding between Congress and
the local community, insuring a more
harmonious and symDathetic co-operation
between them.
Will Expedite Legislation.
"Furthermore. It will expedite District
legislation to a remariiable extent, ani
will relieve individual members of the
Senate and the House of Representa
tives of considerable time which is now
required of the min attending to many
routine details Involved In the relations
of Congress and the District Govern
ment. "In debates, on the floor of Congre3?.
on legislation pertaining to the District
the people of this community will ha
the right and advantage of being rep
resented liy an official spokesman, a
right that menbers of Congress cannot
with Justice withhold indefinitely rrom
any community of their fellow Ameri
can citizens.
"Not onlv will this proposed lav; ex
pedite District legislation in Congress,
rendering greater fairness to the Dis
trict and making the Congressman's
task liuhter. hut it will relieve the over
worked District Commissioners of bur

"A further reason why the I'oindcxt-

"Shall the Capital of the nation con

"In conclusion permit me to call your
attention to the views of the distin
guished Thomas Nelson Page, which he
has expressed as follows,.
" 'Congress has the power to exercise
exclusive legislation o-er tho District
of Columbia; but this power is not un
unbridled and unlicensed power. It is
subject to all the modifications and re
straints which underlie all poweis.
" 'I'nder modern conditions governing
bodies almost Invariably endeaor to
act in harmony with the views of those
governed by them, and endeaxor to pro
mote their interests. The good of the
people is the supreme law. Absolutism
does not exist In the 1'nlted States
not even in the District of Columbia.
"'Other territories have their icpre
sentatives. The District of Columbia
alone has none. It alone must rely on
the Congress for justice, for a govern
ment as good as that in other parts of
the land. If the Congress rails to give
It this, then it is as derelict as any
other government which' is guilty or
malrea-sance in office And though
there be no remedy available, under
which tne wrongs of the peo"'- of tho
DJstrict of Columbia may be righted,
yet the Congress is all the more i-ulriji-ble
in sucii a case, for it is exercising
mere tyranny. And this Is an injury to
the whole nation, to every citizen of
the country, and to the Congress Itself.
