AS TO A DEMAND FOR PREPARATION.

The London Daily Mail thinks 'the Eu-
ropean governments whose subjects are
among the victims of the massacre at Ha-
zleton will unquestionably demand repara-
ton" They will not unless they think
they have a clear case. and if the men who
were killed were naturalized American citi-
zens they would have no case at all.
The fact that the secretary of the Au-
strian consulate at Philadelphia has been
at the scene of the tragedy taking testi-
mony and affidavits of Hungarians there
might indicate a purpose to try and estab
lsh claim for indemnity, though he may
have been only collecting testimony TO be
used in the prosecution of the aheriff and
deputies If any claim for indemnity were
made it would be by the government OF
Austria-Hungary. If the persons killed
were still subjects of that government the
claim might be embarrassing, though it
might be mitigated by the fact that the
sheriff was a peace officer and acting I'M
der color of law. 1t is fairly well estab-
lshed as an international principle that
government is responsible for the pro-
lection of foreigners temporarily sojourn-
as they obey the laws. and is liable in
damages if they are killed or injured by
mob. This principle was recognized by the
United States government in the case of
the Italian subjects killed by mob in New
Orleans in 1890 In that case there was a
spirited correspondence between Secretary
Blaine and the Italian minister at Wash
ington as to whether the responsibility for
PREPARATION rested primarily on the national
government or that of the State of Louisi-
ana and it ended by the minister leaving
Washington. A few months later the Incl
dent was amicably settled by the payment
by the United States government of $25.O00
to be divided among the families OF the
victims. In making the tender Secretary
Blaine said that although the wrong was
not committed directly by the United
States. the latter. nevertheless regarded
1t is solemn duty, which the national gov
eminent fulfilled with great pleasure, to
pay to Italy satisfactory indemnity, to
be distributed by the Italian. government"

A CIVIL-SERVICE SCANDAL.
How "a Treasury Clerk Was Dismissed
from Office Under False Charges.

Washington Special in New York Post.
A chief of division in the Office of the
auditor of the treasury for the Postoffice
Department, named W. N. Bragaw, steps
down to-day from his 81, 600 place to a clerk
ship with salary of 81, 200 under peculiar
circumstances. In 1895 Bragaw had under
him a clerk named Henry Billings. On
April Is of that year he filed with the
auditor letter charging Billings with I'M
fitness for longer continuance in the serv-
ice and the strength of this Billings
was dismissed by Secretary Carlisle Bill
lings, who is veteran, applied for rein
statement under the new administration.
When confronted with the Bragaw charges
quested an investigation. Bragaw, when
closely questioned, admitted that his letter
was untrue. but pleaded that he had signed
it under duress. The story he told was
that he had been questioned by Auditor
Howard as to the efficiency of Billings as
clerk, and had answered that Billings was
doing good work as could fairly be ex-
pected of him for the salary he was get
ting. After that the auditor, who wished
to get rid of Billings, came to him one day
with the draft of a letter purpOrting to be
written by Bragaw to Howard, and con-
tanning charges of inefficiency against Bill
lings, and ordered him to sign 1t. He did
so, though under protest, and this letter,
he says, Mr. Howard laid before Secretary
Carlisle, and on 1T recommended the dis
charge of the obnoxious clerk
Auditor Howard was already out of the
public service. Bragaw's reduction was de-
cided upon He escaped dismissal in view
of his confession, apparent contrition, and
desire to undo as far as possible the wrong
he had done.

Thus, while denying it's legal responsibility.
the United States government admitted its
moral responsibility for the protection Of
the subjects of foreign governments within
its jurisdiction, even though State or local
authorities failed to do their duty. 1t
would hardly do for the United States gov
eminent to try to escape liability in such
case by throwing it onto State govern
ment. Foreign governments would not rec
ognize that distinction, ana it could hardly
be expected that they should.
The Pennsylvania case presents some
very different features from that of the
New Orleans Italian massacre. If a claim
for indemnity were made the first question
would be as to the citizenship of the VIC
Tins. In the New Orleans case indemnity
was only paid to the families of those who
were clearly shown to have been Italian
subjects. AS already stated, if the men
killed at Hazleton had taken out naturali-
cation papers no claim would lie There
is a law in Pennsylvania of recent enact
ment imposing a fine of a few cents per
cay for every day that an alien labors with
in the State. The effect of this law was to
cause many alien laborers to become nat
uralized, and perhaps those at Hazleton
were among the number. If it should APP
pear that they were Austro-Hungarian SUBJ
jects the question would arise whether they
could claim the protection of their govern
ment while resisting an officer of the law
armed with a judicial process. In such a
claim as that the United States would have
the best of IT.

A person who was shocked at seeing in
a barroom window reproduction of the
American flag with an advertisement of a
brewery company printed on its face, wrote
to the United States attorney in his dis
trict calling his attention to what was
thought to be a violation of law. The off,
cial replied as follows:
You share very common error in believ-
ing that such use Of our flag is a violation
of federal statute. Several newspapers
have repeatedly asserted editorially that
such violation of law should be pun
ished. AS a matter of fact bill for this
purpose has been before Congress for a
humber Of years, but has not been enacted.
At several different sessions it has passed
one house but not the other. l believe that
at the last session it encountered opposl-
tion in the Senate committee. Until such
statute is enacted it is, of course, no offense
,;nder federal law to make even such Of
fensive use of our flag.
In the absence of any law on the sub
iect the most offensive use that could be
made of the flag would not be punishable.
Congress should legislate on the subject.

Too Much Money in Kansas.


Notwithstanding large purchases of cattle
for feeding and breeding and much pur-
chasing of lands, there is an immense fund
of idle money, and it is still accommodating
When the cattle and hogs are marketed in
the fall and winter the surplus will be
greater than ever. If favorable conditions
for next seasons wheat are reported at that
time and prices remain high it is certain to
result in a land boom. Men who went
through the boom of ten years ago agree
with Mr.. Breidenthal however, in hoping
that lit will not go far" The scars are
still fresh from that disastrous time, and
there is scarcely a man in the State who
does not still feel the effects of it. If a
decided land boom comes it will be confined
to farms. The day for city-lot excitements
and the blocking out of additions" has
comes on the carpet, or, as one man who
came out of the last boom in a somewhat
mangled condition expressed it, until there
is new crop of suckers"

Fnllduelpnld Press.
The reports from New Orleans concern
ing the yellow fever, according to local
authority, give people in the North, who
are unfamiliar with the saffron scourge,
quite an erroneous idea as to the nature OF
the disease. They refer to yellow fever
and black vomit as two separate and dis
tinct maladies. Black vomit means that
the yellow-fever patient has reached the
point of death. 1t is caused by the death
OF the organs. such as the kidneys and
liver while the heart and brain are still
alive. That is to say the kidneys and
liver cease their functions. When this stage
is reached the physicians know that a fatal
termina ton is inevitable. This is one OF
the reasons why yellow fever is such a
dreadful disease. The internal organs die
and decompose, while the rest of the or
ganism is not seriously impaired. The
crisis in the disease is reached sometimes
within an hour after the first symptoms ap-
pear, and always within three days. Not
infrequently death itself occurs within an
hour. The first thing done when a patient
is attacked is to administer stimulants.
A pint of-champagne is given always when
obtainapIe. Afterwards, however. stimu-
lants are regarded worse than poison.
There is a case on record, however, of a
man who was so far gone that the doctors
gave him up. In his delirium he reached
and got hold of a pint flask OF brandy
which was standing on the medicine table.
He drank the entire contents, and at once
began to recover.

Curiously enough, despite all the public
discussion at home. there is not on board
single American passenger who sailed from
New York last Saturday with any accurate
understanding of the 800 limitation of the
Dngley law as TO personal purchases
abroad that they can bring back homS
without paying duty. Some of them had
the notion that they would have TO pay
duty on everything they took abroad with
them when they should come back Sew
cral of the ladies had actually skimped
themselves as to their raiment because OF
this misrepresentation. One pretty girl from
her diamonds at breakfast. tearfully as
sured me that she had left half her Jewels
ut home because she thought they would
be- dutiable on her return; and as for
gowns why, she had left just stacks Of

For some time it has been quietly rumored
that the Rev. B. Fay Mills, member of
the Presbytery of Albany, and for many
in this country. had undergone a change in
his doctrinal views, and would probably
abandon the Presbyterian Church and
openly adopt Unitarianism. This report
first started from the fact that in his re-
cent public addresses he has ignored the
held as essential by evangelical Christians.
1t is now announced that he has connected
himself with the Unitarians, and that he
will give his reasons for this movement at
the Unitarian convention to be held at
Saratoga, Sept 1923. 1t is also said that
Mr.. Milss contemplated change has been
known for some time to leading Unitarians.

primitive Baptists Adjourn.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HACIRSTOWN, Ind, Sept. l3.-The
eighty-ninth annual assembly of the White
water Valley Association of the Primitive
Baptists adjourned to-day after five days
session This assembly was conference
of all the churches in the association for
the purpose of holding the annual love
feast and to transact important business
Sermons were delivered by Rev. j. Fl. Kem-
per- Of Ovid, Ind. Rev. j. II. Fisher, of
Collinsville Tex; Rev. W. l.. Lewis, of
Fountain City Ind; Rev. r. Zion, of An
derson: Elder r. w. Thompson, of Green
field; Rev. Thomas James, of Sheridan;
Rev. John Eubanks of Campbellsburg.
Ky; Rev John Thompson, of Indianapolis;
Rev. G. A Britz. of Albion, and Rev. w. n.
Sharp. of Liberty.
The principal business was the discussion
of the question as 10 whether a reunitng
of all the churches in the Whitewater val
ley into one association were desirable.
Some fifty years ago a false doctrine was
admitted into few of the churches in the
whitewater Valley Association. This false
doctrine was, that through hearing the
word preached men might obtain salvation
