New Cruisers,

The 2,000-ton cruiser now under con-
struction at the Union Iron Works, Bal
timore, will be named North Point. This
ship comes under the same class as the
Concord, vessels in which are required to
receive the names of battles, and the
name just given is intended to commem-
crate the fight at North Point, near Balti-
more, in the war of 1912.
The practice-ship is not yet named, but
it has been proposed TO call her George
bancroft, in memory of the eminent his
torian, who was also the Secretary Of the
Navy under whose charge the Naval
School at Annapolis was established.
Cruiser No. II has not yet been named,
and no title has been suggested for her
beyond that of the Pirate, which has al
ready been attached to her as popular
nickname.

The true rule possible to be adopted

given, or the ends of public justice de-

the people have clear right to be made
public; there are far more things of
privacy now paraded to the world that
are really none of the worlds business.

THE letter of the Government to Minis
ter Egan upon the Chilean outrage has
the ring that ought to characterize all
papers issued in protection of the rights
of citizens. We will command respect
abroad in the proportion that we show a
determination to make good the claim
that an American shall be protected in
right doing wherever he resides. The re-
fusal Of Chile, as this morning an
nounced, to make inquiry and reparation
complicates matters, and may result in a
call for Congress to assemble.

no amount of drivel or affectation can
alter the fact. But the Chronicle cannot
be consistent, simply because it does not
understand the subjects upon which it is
attempting to elucidate. 1t is perfectly
evident. however, that its change of heart
and of position is referable entirely to the
suggestion Of San Francisco merchants,
and perhaps especially those interested
in the formation of the Traffic Associa-
ton. There are other places on the Pa
cific Coast aspiring to be distributing
points beside San Francisco, and their in
terests with San Francisco in these mat
ters are not identical.
The position first taken by the RECORD
UNION in this premise is entirely true
and justiiable in every particular. From
the outset this paper advised exactly
what the Chronicle is now advising-the
formation of separate traffic associations
to deal with the subject. 1t is also pointed
out with that clearness which can only
PiOSCCo AlOill iu4iIlOSS VI hllON 1cuSG3
that the interests of the shipper of the
cheap products of California eastward
and the dealer in the costly traffic which
moves westward and into the city are
not identical and cannot be identified.
When the Chronicle receives further in
spiration from the nebulous intelligence
which appears to be directing it's devious
course in these matters, it will come
into perfect agreement with us on this
indicated it. 1t finds the largest
shipper of fruits from California in a
convention to form Estate Traffic Asso-
ciation." 1t is amazed at the reckless
boldness, the cheeky impertinence of a
producer; shipper of California pro-
ducts Eastward, in claiming recognition
at the hands Of traffic association,
formed in the interest of San Francisco.
1t characteriZes the conduct of this pro-
ducer and shipper as thrusting himself
in where he does not belong-that the
matters to be considered do not in any
respect touch the interests which he rep
resents. Thus, metaphorically, the
Chronicle seeks to kick out the best rep
resentative the shippers of East-bound
products could possibly have on the floor
of the convention, and to do this, it must
proceed upon the theory of want of
community of interest between the ship
per of East-bound traffic and the shipper
of West-bound traffic. Following the
suggestion of some intelligence
better informed than its own, it
is coming round to realization of the
true inwardness of the whole situation
1t declared at first that the question was
as broad as the State. 1t joined with
those who promulgated the call in advo-
eating a State Convention for the forma-
ton of State Traffic Association. 1t
declared as beneath contempt the asser-
ton that the interests Of the State and
city were not completely identical.
Finding itself wrong, we are not sur
prised to find it disposed to kick itself,
but this does not justify it in mistaking
bad manners for severity, or conducting
a controversy with a temper and in a
style which can only bring upon Itself
ridicule, and adopting tone of bullying
which will avail nothing in dealing with

PRIVACY AND THE PRESS.

George William Curtis, in Harpe1'S
Magazine, has had the courage to enter
protest against the press invasion of
privacy. Certain it is that the tendency
of the time is to pry into the affairs of in
dividuals that concern only themselves,
and to make the public party to this con-
Germ. 1t is question of real soberness,
whether the American freeman has not
the right to protection against the press in
this matter. That agency of communica-
ton has discovered that special weak
ness of humanity is inquisitiveness, and
it therefore caters to it. Personality"
say the newspaper men, sis what the peo-
pie want In our columns, and so we sup
ply the demand" But should not this
be limited to the matters clearly public,
or that Justice demands should be brought
into the open?
Publicity is a conservator Of justice,
| check upon the vicious, and therefore a
balance wheel, in one sense, that helps
keep the social machine steady; it is an
offense when it makes innocent hearts,
the love of privacy, domestic retiracy and
purely personal concern, the food for
greedy inquisitiyeness and the stimulant
to the Paul Pry disposition. The ques-
! ton is. has the American people "the
right TO know" about the private affairs
of A or b? Certainly not; yet, if the
press declines to tell the American people
/ these things, it is put down as unenter-
! prising. But here certain pertinent ques-
| tions suggests themselves. First, by
whom is the press thus rebuked? Second,
is there really a large majority of the
people who make this demand? Is il,
after all, the American people who "want
/ to know" but only the few? If CEN
sus of the thought of the homes of the
/ land could be taken in response, we APP
/ prehend that the great majority of decent
/ folks would declare against the indis-
criminate dragging of people into per-
/ sonal columns. But such is the weakness
of human nature that majority of this
majority will every morning closely ex-
anime their papers for personal items.
/ There ought, nevertheless, to be a tighter
rein drawn, because privacy that ought
to be sacred is grossly, rudely invaded,
and nosed out into public light, doing no
one any good. but wounding many inno-
cent hearts neediessly.
AS Mr.. Curtis says, Light is alto
gether admirable, and as detective, in
comparable. But is not the right of A
TO the inyisibility of the more intimate
processes of his toilet, quite as unques-
tionable as that of b to know what A is
so darned private about?" There can be
but one answer to such question, of
course. Light is an effective police, but
it is as indispensable TO the thief as to the
officer" We know citizens who dread
to leave home for days outing, simply
because the press will herald the news TO
all burglars and sneak thieves, that such
and such citizens residence is guarded
only by the servant. So, too, we know
scores of citizens to every one of the other
:! class who are offended iftheir goings and

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
The Friends of Lawyer Monaghan Think
He Has Been Murdered.


WEST CHESTER, Pa, Oct. 1.-The
greatest excitement prevails here over
the disappearance of Robert J. Monag-
han, prominent lawyer of this place,
who left here last Thursday for New
York. There he registered at the Gilsey
House, and since then nothing has been
seen or heard of him.
There is no possible reason for his dis
appearance, and his family fear foul
play. His accounts, according to his
law partner, Mr.. J. Frank E. House, are
perfectly correct. When Mr. Monahan
left his home with TIE intention of going
to New York, he said that it was on
business for the Pennsylvania Mortgage
Investment Company and the Keystone
Development Company, in both of which
concerns he is an active officer.
On Monday his brother came to New
York and went at once to the Gilsey
House, where he learned his brother had
registered, taken a room, left his bag,
and gone out The bed was undisturbed,
and the bag contained nothing but a
change of clothes.
Mr.. Monaghan is possessed of a very
lucrative practice and is a very domestic
man. The two companies with which
he is connected are said to be in a very
prosperous condition, and on Monday a
large sum was deposited by Mr. House
in the West Chester Bank to the credit
of the Investment Company in behalf of
the missing man.

terday morning. w. II. Dill of Clear
fl cid owned the bank and was it's presi-
den t, with John B. McGrath of Houtz-
dale, cashier. w. II. Dill is also presi-
dent of the First National Bank of Clear
field, Pa, which closed it's doors at the
same time
The Houtzdale bank has done large
business in the way of deposits Indi-
vidual deposits range from 1913, 900 down,
while many secret and beneficial associa-
tions, the borough and several township
treasurers are Gepositors in various sums
aggregating many thousands of dollars.
The savings of Hungarian and Sweds
miners that are locked up in the bank
aggregate $70,0
The excitement is Intense and were it
believed that any considerable amount Of
money was in the bank, nothing could
prevent the excited Slavs from breaking
in the doors. The streets are throngeC
with miners.
Cashier McGrath says that everything
is correct in the bank and that if the
securities on which the money deposited
in the Houtzdale Bank, sent to the Clear
field Bank, are as valuable as he pre-
sumed them to be, the depositors will
lose nothing.

Carroll a beautiful young girl, lies at
the Emergency Hospital lowering be
tween life and death She went rowing
last evening with William Wyncoop,
who had been keeping her company for
a year and more, and when they left the
boathouse they were chatting pleasantly.
They rowed to the breakwater and
thence to the Seaside Park shore.
When near the beach Miss Carroll re-
marked that young man of her ac-
quaintance was Every nice" This
aroused Wyncoop's jealousy, and he OK
claimed:
Repeat that and I'll drown you"
Miss Carroll demanded that her COM
panion row her immediately to the beach,
that she might leave him. Instead of
doing so he deliberately threw her into
the water. and in doing so was pitched
out himself.
A savage fight followed, Wyncoop try
ing to push Miss Carroll under. He sue
ceeded in doing so, but people on a
passing yacht had been attracted, and
went to her rescue. Both were taken on
board, the lady uncon scious, and she was
taken to the hospital.
Miss Carrolls condition is critical.
After Wyncoop was sufficiently re-
covered he was arrested. He is held
without bail.
