' #v> f ; % Present Statue of Edmund Burke Washington, Oct. 10.?The statue of Edmund Burke, member of the British parliament and staunch friend of the American Colonists, was presented to the city of Washington and to the nation today by the Sulgrave Institute of England. It is of bronco in hemic sice, weighing 2,600 pounds, und is a reproduction of the statue erected in memory of the beloved Irishman, at Bristol, England. It detracts Burke in an impassioned attitude in the midst of a speech. ? The site, on Massachusetts avenue Eleventh and Twelfth streets, is on a triangular park in the midst of che residential section, overlooking several historic points, and facing towai'd the Carnegie public library. The Sulgrave Institute Is a body composed of Americans, Englishmen and Canadians, whose purpose is the pro motion of friendly relations among those countries. It is the owner of Sulgrave manor, whence it gains the nifme, the birthplace of George Washin gtons father, and long the home of the English branch of that family. The impressive dedication exercises were attended by a group of prominent English members of the society, who journeyed to this country to present to American memorials to three Englishmen, famous in the history oi that country and the United States. The three statues were gtven to '\mericans by the society and erected it their expense, inly the sites being given. President Harding was asked to receive the Burke statue in behalf of the nation. The other two memorials consisted of busts of William Pitt, earl of Chatham, during American Revolutionary days, and of Viscount Bryce, long embassador oi Great Britain in Washington. The Pitt bust was presented bv the society to the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, named in honor yof the Englishman who stood high in the hearts of the early settlers of this country for his untiring work in the 1 British parliament to ease the tax burdens of colonists and to grant ' them stronger powers of local selfgovernment. Pittston, Massachusetts, also was named in his memory. Viscount Bryce, historian, economist and statesman, as well as diplomatist, was the author of a number of volumes on economics and history, and an authority on American history and government. His extensive work. The American Commonwealth, is used a3 a text book, not only in universities all V<)vejr the world, but by lawyers and statesmen. Edmund Burke is remembered, sometimes not so fondly by younger students, for his several addresses before the parliament, favoring colonial government for the Americans, and lessened taxation with some, representation in parliament, that body which imposed the taxes without allowing the colonists to be represented in its arguments. His "Speech on Conciliation with America," is still a msstorpriece and a text for American school study. The Pitt bust. was unveiled in Pitts, burgh on September 14; the Bryce statue will be unveiled with appropriate ceremony in the capitol building here, tomorrow. Address on Fire Prevention Chicago, Oct. 9.?Carelessness is the cause of three-fourths of the anmini Are toll of 15,000 lives and property worth half a billion dollars, according to George B. Muldaur, general agent of the Underwriters' laboratories, in an address broadcast simultaneously from twenty radio stations tonight as part of the observance of Fire Prevention Day, the ainniversary of the- Chicago fire of 1871, "^he time to put out a fire is before it starts," he said. "No amount of fire extinguishing apparatus can cope with universal carelessness. By the education of the public, industrial organizations and school children to avoid carelessness, indifference and selfishness, the desired result can be brought about. "What do you know about the fire hazards existing in your own house? When did you last go over the house with a view of seeing if any danger exists? Where is the nearest fire alarm box? Do you know how to operate it? What do you know about the condition of your children's school? Is it fireproof? Are there plenty of exits? Has it fire escapes? Do they have fire drills? Are the motion picture theaters to which you and your family are in the habit of going to properly protected? "A clean house is a safe 'house. 1 Safety from fire is largely a matter of good 'housekeeping. An annual kAi<? X- -1 ?? ?uu?t bimiiiuK is no siuveuiy BB B weekly bath. The house should b? kept clean at all times, not periodically. "Place fire extinguishers where they may be readily got at and train yourself in their use. Provide yourself with home inspection blanks and see that they are filled out a regular intervals and'the information thus obtained placed in the hands of the proper city authorities." Spunk's Free!

Time, gets result? | its* ' I Wherein the Mill* Of th* God*, Though They Grind Sloerly, Grind Exceeding Fine Manufacturers Record. In 1794 there was an uprising in Pennsylvania, known as the "Whiskey Rebellion/' against the enforcement of the Excise law which had been ei&cied by congress in March, 17f)l, on domestic spirits. The attempt to enforce the law was followed by wild excesses, storm times and riotous violence, the Federal Revenue officers in some cases being tarr.-d and feathered. So aggressive became the violators of the law that in order to crush what reached the magnitude of a rebellion against the government, Washington sent a large military force into Western Pennsylvania against these law violators. One of the most prominent leaders fled to i>cw vsneuiu* una omers were inert and convicted of treason, though subsequently pardoned. A somewhat similar condition developed in 18fSi2 and continued for ten years following the enactment by congress of a tax on whiskey. In the "Whisbey Rebellion in 1794 and between 1862 and 1872 the activity of the liquor interests against the enforcement of these laws was, ?n proportion to populations, greater even than is the present fight against the Volstead act and the 18th amendment. In regard to the situation prevailing between 1862 and 1872 the New York Journal of Commerce, one of the foremost of the commercial publications of the country and which is not u prohibition advocate, gives the following interesting facts: "In the year 1861 whiskey was not taxed, and the price fell as low as i:t cents a gallon in the Cincinnati market. In fact, as one of our early economic writers remarked, 'previous to 1860 a man could undoubtedly get drunk in the United States with a less expenditure of money than tn any part of the civilized world.' Due to the Lax needs 6f Civil War time, congress laid a tax of 20 cents per gallon by the a of July 1, 1862, and later r.lifioH if oiinnnnoivnl.. ~ ?v uwvvvooi ?Vty \AJ UV CCUl S, S>1.50, and even $2 per gallon by December, 1864. It is interesting to note that it was found by careful investigation that during the succeeding six yeattt up to 1868 only about 15 to 20 per ceht on the' average of all the whiskey manufactured in this country ever paid any tax at all. Even as late as the years 1871 land 1872 the Whiskcky Ring and oth<j|r scandals in our national admtnistratjjpn reached a point of rascality and otftadishonesty seldom equaled even bjyjjthe palmiest experiences of the boo^^wgers of the present d?y. During jL Wears following the exposure oftttiape scandals there was a gradual sttHFenmg up in the Internal Revenue J ervice, with the final result that, wih the exception of certain district! of especial difficulty, the Excise laws were enforced with comjfltrr.tivepthoroughneas and efficiency. In the light of this experience, ten om 15 years is not too long a period to attain^the efficient enforcement of any prohibition law, and probably more time Will be needed for a stringent measure such as thv* Volstead act, if ever it is to become effective." The lawlessness of the liquor traffic, its murderous activities and its effort to control politics, as in the scandal dayB of 1862 to 1872, when the reputations of many public men were forever ruined, is only in keeping w.tli the lawlessness of the present. But ii. crushing these activities the mills of the gods may grind slowly but in the end they grind exceedingly iine and civilization each time makes one step forward and buries forever in tuin the reputations of the liquor-interest advocates. Depositors in Cuban Bank May Get Partial Payments Havana, Cuba, Oct. 9.?Brighter prospects for recovering some of their money are seen by depositors of the defunct National Bank of Cuba as a result of a compromise reached between the bank liquidation com mission and the government. After a long drawn oat controversy, the administration has decided to turn over to the liquidation commission approximately $16^600,000 in collateral seized by the government to secure nearly $200,000,000 it had on deposit in the National Bank when it closed its doors. The commission will proceed to classify and grade the claims against the bank, and if the government it not satisfied with the treatment it is accorded, recourse will be taken in an appeal to the supreme court. Hie controversy with the governmint has been the chief stumbling block in the liquidation of the bank, which has been going on, under a hot fire of criticism, for nearly two years. The tying up of the government's cami nas Deen given Dy ^resident Zayas as one of the causes provoking the financial crisis wfcich has faced his administration ever since he took office in May of 1981.
