The decision of Judge Graves sus-
tanning the motion to quash the com.
plants in the city liquor cases does not
reflect the highest degree of credit upon
the legal acumen of City Attorney
Lambert, unless We assume that the
court has erred in judgment in regard
to the faulty nature of the complaints in
the three cases which have gone by de-
fault by reason of the informal method
of preparing the papers therein.
To say the very least there seems to
have been lack of care in the prepare
ton of the cases named which can
scarcely be overlooked in q public off,
cial, and which would not add to the
professional luster of an attorney en-
gagged in the service ofindividual clients.
We do not desire TO judge Mr.. Lambert
harshly, but in behalf of the public
whose servant he is it is only proper for
the press to criticise such of his official
acts as are not in keeping with the best
interests of the city.

Close to our feet crepe the restless sea:

A Radical Measure or Revenue Reduction

From all Interview by "Gatli"
who has been the most successful

From All Interview by ''Gatli"
Who has BEEN the most successful oper-
ator during the year,"
william Vanderbilt, D. O.. Mills and
Jim keene. Vanderbilt has got more mon
ey than all these men together. You see very
wild stories printed about the resources OF
the large operators. ] tell you that Van
derbilts pile is bigger than the whole of
them together. Nextto him probably comes
Russell Sage, who has more money than
Jay Gould. Sage has saved Gould once or
twice. Two years Gould was practically
broke and had to surrender his Union Pa
cific stock to make settlement. He had
been bearing Northwestern and on the com-
promise had to give up Union Pacific, for
which he had paid par, or nearly SO, at six
ty-iive cents on the dollar. That is why he
is out Of Union Pacific. Vanderbilt, Mills
and the rest are buying it up"
What do you consider jim Keane to be
worth with all his success?"
"Seven million dollars ut the outside. 1t
is more nearly apt to be somewhere between
three millions and Ave millions. If he has
got 81 200, 900 the best judges here are de:
ceived Russell Sage has gotabout $l2, 900,
600. Mills is rich man and prudent one.
He told me in a recent conversation that he
was out Of the street aud was going into
real estate. He has bought all this proper
ty along Broad street and is about to put
mp an immense Office building, aud he has
bought lots on both sides of the city oppo-
site the park. Vanderbilt has also been a
large buyer of real estate. I infer from the
general outlook, from the necessity Of
something to speculate in, and from the
operations of men like these, that we are
now to have big movement in real estate,
first in New York and then in other cities
of the country, till it resembles the real es~
tate operations up to 1872.

Oldest doctor Of laws in Prussia, having
taken his degrees in the year 1917. For
more than forty years he has held the Office
Of histotiographer to the Prussian state.
Every title and distinction to which Ger
man man Of letters can aspire has been be-
slowed upon Ranke by his own sovereign.
while the minor potentates Of Germany and
nearly oil the continental monarchs have
displayed generous rivalry in heapine
honors upon his venerable head. In fact,
to none Of her native authors, living or

paid such lavish tribute of honor a. to the
llustrious ootogenerian Won Ranke.
