Local Statutes Effective as Compared With Those of Balti- From the National Building Register. The terrible loss of life in the Front street theater of Baltimore last week has been at- tributed by many newspapers to the faulty construction of the building. This natu- rally leads to @ reference to the laws in force in Baltimore relative to the con- struction of theaters and other places of public entertainment. These laws or reg- ulations are not very thorough and ac- cording to other latest edition at hand they are as follows: _ “And be it further enacted and ordained. That in all buildings of public character already erected or that may hereafter be erected, such as hotels, churches, thea- ters, school houses, restaurants, rallroad depots, public halls, and other buildings used or intended to be used for purposes of public amusement or instructicn, the halls, doors, stairways, seats and aisles shall be 80 arranged as to facilitate egress in case of fire or accident, and to afford the requi- site and proper accommodation for the pub- lic protection in such cases. “And be it further enacted and ordained, That all aisies and passageways in said buildings devoted to purposes of instruc- tion or amusement, shall be kept free from camp stools, chairs, sofas and other ob- structions, during any performance, serv- ices, exhibition, lecture, concert, ball or any public assemblage; all exits from any public building shail be opened for the use of every departing audience.” The Local Law Contrasted. In striking contrast to these inadequate regulations we quote the following as some of the regulations in force in Washing- ton: “1. In all theaters and other public places of amusement already erected in the city of hington the doors shall open out- ward and remain open when the building is occupied, except fly-doors opening both ways, which may be kept closed. The hall doors, stairways, seats, and aisles shall te So arranged as to facilitate egress in cases of fire or accident; and to afford the requi- site and proper accommodation for the public protection in such cases, all aisles and pasrageways in such buildings shall be kept free from camp stools, chairs, sofas, and other obstructions during any serv- ice, exhibition, lecture, performance, con- cert, ball or any public assemblage. “All theaters and other public places of amusement shall have a water plug on each side of the stage, sufficient hose of the size used by the fire department to ex- tend when in use to any part of the stage, scenery, and fixtures on and over the stage, for immediate use at all times. “There shall also be placed over each curtain opening, the full width of same, a two-inch perforated water pipe. “AN lights on the stages shall be electric incandescent, the wires to be properly in- sulated. “The curtain openings of al] theater stages skull be provided with asbestos cur- tains, which shall be arrunged with ap- pliances to be dropped at any moment. Width of the Aisles. “The le aisles shall be not less than three feet in width, and the center aisle on the main floor not less than three feet six inches wide at the lower end of opening, and increzse in width toward the exits to a width of five feet six inches. “All exits shall be of such dimensions as may be deemed sufficient by the inspector of buildings and the chief of the fire de- pariment. In all theaters every floor that is more than eighi feet above the side- walk shall te provided with ample stuir- ways or exits by such fire escapes as may be *required by the inspector of buildings and ihe chief of the fire Jepartment. Al) heating boilers shall be placed outside of the walls cf the theaters. “In every theate> during every public performance there shall be stationed a ca- pable employe of said theater, who shall be approved by the chief of the fire de- partment of the District of Columbia. He shall be competent to render valuable as- sistance in case of fire cr alarm of fire. As to Exits. “Every building erected or altered to be used as a theater or public place of amuse- ment involvirg the use of a stage with movable or shifting scenery, curtains and machinery, shall be a brick building of fire-resistirg construction throughout, ex- cept flooring, so far as the nature of its use will permit; shall have the highest part of the main auditorium floor not more than four (4) feet above the sidewalk; shall have at least one frontage on the strect or avenue, with openings for exits not less than one-third of the frontage of the build- izg, and shall have the doors, halls, cor- ridors, lobbies, stairways, passages, and aisles wide, direct, and so constructed and arranged as to afford easy egress for the occupants under all circumstances; all exits and entrances shall, as far as practic- able, be identical, and shall have all doors open outward and of such width as may be deemed sufficient by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Such build- ings shall have sufficient stairways and of such width and location as may be deem- ed by said Commissioners sufficient. Fireproof Stairways. “All stairways shall be composed-of iron, stone or other incombustible material. All stairways must be constructed with secure handrails or brick dividing walls sufficient in construction to prevent accident in case of a heavy pressure. “All partitions inclosing lobbies ard cor- ridors or separating them from auditorium shall be of brick masonry or heavy stud- ding, brick-nogged throughout, or other- wise made non-combustible. “The lights at rear of auditorium and all passages and stairways shall be independ- ent of the lights in other parts of the house, end so arranged that they cannot be turned off from the stage or platform. “All doors from auditorium to lobbies and stairways shall be metal-covered Wood and self-closing. There shall be lobbies adjoin- ing each division of the auditorium, the floor surfaces of which shall be equal to one-third of the floor of the adjacent au- ditorium. Between Stage and Auditorium. “The stage shall be separated from the auditorium by a brick wall not less than seventeen inches thick, or its equivalent, the entire width of the building. There shall be no openings in this wall except the curtain opening, and not more than two others, to be located at the level or below the stage. “The roof trusses, all scenery, curtains and exposed woodwork of every stage and fly doors shall be thoroughly covered or saturated, if practicable, with fire-resist- ing material, approved by the Commission- ers of the District of Columbia. “All scene docks, carpenter or property shops and wardrobes shall be separated from the stage, auditorium and dressing- room divisions by solid brick walls not less than thirteen inches thick, with no open- ings to auditorium or dressing-room divi- sions. All openings to stage shall have tinned-wood self-closing doors, securely hung in rebates in the brick work. Authority of Building Inspector. “The inspector of buildings shall, when- ever he may deem it necessary, serve writ- ten notice on the owner, lessee or manager of any building or part of building already erected or hereafter built and used or to be used in whole or in part for public assem- blies, directing to be done in or about the arrangement thereof and the appliances connected therewith whatever is needful to afford the greatest possible security to the public and good ventilation, subject to ap- peal and determination by a commission. ““Wherever galleries are constructed, all pillars, joists or beams used in the con- struction of the same must be made of iron and deadened.” Se The Ram Katahdin Accepted.

Cook's Views as to the Plan of Election. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is to be regretted that the selection of delegates to the next republican national convention has become involved in com- plications and difficulties. These arose largely from the interference of a few aspi- rants for delegates, who “got up” and transmitied an application to the national committee for a change in the mode of se- lecting delegates, and the substitution of what was called “the Crawford county system.” The application was received fa~- vorably by the national committee, but it was afterward asserted that no such sys- tem as the Crawford county system exist- ed in Pennsylvania and that pari of the resolution .n regard to “the Crawford coun- ty system” was stricken out. That such a system existed at one time in Pennsylvania ts a matter within my own knowledge and experience. It consisted of @ selection of candidates by direct votes at the election districts of the several coun- fies, and the aggregation of these votes by’ “return judges,” and whoever appeared to have received “he majority of the votes for a rticular office was declared the can- didate of the party. This was doubtless the system contemplated in the application to the national committee and substantial- ly adopted, however misconceived or mis- understood. After the somewhat hasty approval of the petition sent to the national commit- tee it seems to me that reveral unwise or injudicious proceedings occurred. First. A motion was made by the Mis- sissipp! member to select one of the prom- inent candidates for delegate, Perry H. Carson, as a member of the board of elec- tien, and thereafter a motion was made by the Arkansas member that Andrew Gleeson, also another prominent candidate, be a member of the election board. By these proceedings, two of the candidates for delegates were placed on the board, and this being done, a motivn was offered and carried that the chairman of the national committee appoint a third member. The national committee having appointed two candidates on the board of election, the chairman, Hon. Thomas H. Carter, pur- suing apparently the authorized plan of the ~ nutional committee has appointed M. M. Parker, also a candidate for delegate, the third member, thus making the entire board of election consist of interested members, instead of impartial and disinterested per- sons. This doubtless, and justly, has produced great dissatisfaction, especially with the other candidates and their friends. The result, it is feared, will be bitter dis- cord, strife, and continued dissatisfaction, versie before and after the “delegate elec- jon.” Second. The letter addressed personally to Mr. M. M. Parker by the chairman cf the committee seems to increase the com- Plications and ditficulties. In that letter the mode of election of delegates is left uncertain and indefinite, the chairman saying: “Notwithstanding the call for the national convention, if you can by any means calculated to bring about the des:red result and secure the election of the Gelegates direct at the primary elec- tion, you are authorized by the resolution to do so. However, if you find that the effort to thus reach a definite result will but lead to confusion, and defeat the pur- poce of the resolution, you will be at lib- erty to provide for a convention of deie- gates, as contemplated by the call for the national committee.” It is thus manifest that it is uncertain whether delegates will be selected by “direct vote,” or whether a convention will in the end be held and the delegates be se- lected by that convention. It also seems to be uncertain and some- what obscure whether Mr. M. M. Parker is invested with the power to determine which method shall be adopted, or whether it is intended that the entire board shall do so; and if the other members of the board should differ, whether he, as the lest ap- pointed member, as is frequently the case « in boards of arbitration, should have the cortrolling power of determination as be- tween the other two, or in other words act 4s an umpire. These observations may be regarded to some extent as reflecting in this instance upon the practical wisdom and discretion of the national committee, the members of which are unquestionably cf experienced political wisdom and effl- ciency; but if the facts referred to or men- tioned justify a reflection,it becomes proper and perhaps inevitable. It may not be too late for the national committee or its chair- man to correct existing errors and evils, and if so, should it not be done? Perhaps it would not be difficult to Invent or sug- gest 2 suitable and satisfactory correction. Connected as I have been with the re- publican party for over half a century, and one of the few survivors in the Dis- trict who early engaged in the organiza- tion or consolidation of its forces, and twice chairman of its campaign committee, etc.,.l am exceedingly anxious that the selec- tion of delegates in whatever form may finally be adopted should be free as pos- sible from unnecessary and unreasonable strife and bitterness, and especially, be- cause if these continue, and the District of Columbia becomes too oppressive and bur- densome to the national committee, it may See fit to withdraw entirely the privilege of delegates and leave the District of Colum- bia without representation in the “national convention. WILLIAM A. COOK. Another Suggestion. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Permit me to suggest to Messrs. Parker, Carson and Gleeson, that the only way for them to give to the republicans a fair and honest election will be for them to select the judges of election as jurors are selected. Put into a box twenty names of goof citi- zens from each district (white and colored equally) and from this box have a boy blindfolded draw the names; the three drawn for each district shall be the judges for said district. FAIR PLAY. ——__ Death of Gen. Lasselie. William Polke Lasselle, a brevet briga- dier general in the Union army during the late war, and a lawyer of no mean ability, died yesterday afternoon at the residence of his brother-in-law, Robert E. Preston, 53 K street northeast, after an illness of a few days,in the fifty-ninth year of his age. His funeral will take place from St. Aloys- ius Church at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The deceased was born in Logansport, Ind., in 1836, and enlisted in the ninth regiment of Indiana volunteers in the first year of the war, serving until September 28, 1865, having risen from a private to brevet brigadier general. He was made a prisoner at the battle of Chickamauga and sent to Libbey prison. He was both a brave man and an accomplished soldier, as well as a good lawyer, but through an un- fortunate Mabit of drinking was never successful in his profession. Several days ago he fell and injured his head, and from the result of that injury he died. He was not a member of the G. A. R., but was a member of the Association of ex-Prisone: of War.
