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."

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.
