Seven Murderers Mt Large

According to the latest statement Of miss
ing murderers for whom the Washington
Eoilce are now searching there are seven of
them now at large. whose crimes hava been
committed within the past three years, and
whose absence has caused the local detec-
tiyes no end of trouble and embarrassment.
Frank Funk. the latest addition to the band
of fugitives, is as completely out of sight
as though he never existed. The others,
according to the statement mentioned, are
the celebrated Dorsey Foultz, the unknown
slayer of Shoemaker Hall, Lucien johnson,
''rootsey" Dudley, Frank Heideman and
Thomas Fitzgerald. Perhaps thers are 9TH
ers. These seven. however. are entirely
sufficient to cause concern. The list is too
large, the crimes too serious. 1t will never
do to- permit the people of this city and the
criminal classes of all communities to reach
the conclusion that the Washington police
are unable to capture a murderer unless
they find him red-handed. Yet there Is
much to give point to such a reproach.
Except the capture of thu negro who killed
Elsie Kreglo practically no successful de-
tectiye work has been accomplished here
within sevsral years in capital cases. save
where the criminal has been caught at his
work It Is true, indeed, that the force Is
small and has not been increased In proper
ton to the growing demands of the city

of conspicuous value to such body. His
excellent judgment will serve well in the
formation of the plans of government Mr..
Cullom, too, has become familiar with for
eign relations and his sound qualities as a
substantial American citizen and his ex-
tended experience with public affairs rem
der him valuable in this important work.
The Hawaiian commissioners are well
chosen. OF President Dole no particular
words of praise are necessary His con,
duct during the trying years of republic
making and maintenance and of efforts at
union has endeared him to the peoples O.
both countries. His recent visit to Wash
ington revealed the man in his true proper
tons and showed how wisely the leaders
OF the revolutionary movement acted when
they placed him at the head of affairs. His
colleague, Mr.. Frear, is not SO well known
In this country. Indeed his name is prac-
tically that of a stranger here, but the rec
ords show him to have been intelligently
active in the work of placing Hawaii in the
front ranks of civilization. With these men,
familiar with conditions in both countries,
actively at work the nation may rest as
sured that the President will soon be ad-
vised inteligently and safely concerning
the proper method of bringing Hawaii I'M
der the dominion of the United States. 1t
is delicate and important task, but the
machinery for it's satisfactory accomplish
ment is Well a hand.

SmOkeless Powder,

As appears by the interviews with them
published in yesterdays Star, a number of
prominent members of Congress were able
to show that they at least are in no way
responsible for the unfortunate circum-
stance that neither our military or naval
forces have been supplied with smokeless
powder. Indeed, one of them was so char
liable as to say that he did not see that
any one Is particularly to blame for the
situation. This may possibly be so, and
again 1t may be taking too favorable view
of the case. The Star incIines to the opin-
lon that 1T is. But anyway, the deplora BILE
fact stares us in the face that Spain. which
Is from one to two centuries behind this
country in the adoption and utilization of
modern inventions, Improvements and an
piiances, was prompt to supply her forces
with that potential factor in modern war
rare, While ours were sent to sea and into
the field without it. The calamitous re-
suit we have seen in the bloody thickets
around Santiago, and our disastrous ex-
perience there should be a lesson to our
government Whatever the facts of the
past may have been. prompt and effective
measures should be taken to the end that
our gallant boys in the field shall not again
be placed at such frightful disadvantage.

Justice for the Cubans.

There seems to be disposition not only
to belittle but to malign the Cubans who are
serving with the army In front of Santi-
ago. They are charged with cowardice in
action, and with inhumanity toward the
helpless. They are described as jeering at
Spanish prisoners and even menacing them
with death. They f1ocked to the coast, it
is asserted, when Admiral Cervera's ships
were beached, and were with difficulty re-
strained from falling on the Spanish sail
ors who had made shore and butchering
them. That tall yarn about the beheading
of some Spanish captives by Cuban SOL
diers within mile of General Shat
ters tent has been officially denied. But
the other stories remain.
The Star expects that later accounts
will materially modify the whole indict-
ment. 1t does not believe that the men
who have been trained In arms by and
been serving under General Garcia are
lacking in either courage or humanity.
Their leader is himself a good soldier Of
capacity and enterprise, and his career in
eastern Cuba prior to the arrival of the
American troops stamped him as an hon.
orabie and daring commander. The proba-
bilities therefore are against the justice
of this arraignment of General Garcia and
his contingent.
But need not be too exacting. 1t is
only fair to allow for little human ma
ture. The sight of Spaniard as pris-
oner, disarmed and powerless for further
harm, naturally gives unbounded pleasure
to Cuban. He sees before him one of
the men who under orders have for three
years been butchering and starving help
less Cuban people, carrying the lighted
torch into many quarters, and to the full
est extent within their opportunities max
ing waste of the island. How would an
American, or any other man. feel toward
an enemy in similar circumstances? How
do the Americans around Santiago already
feel toward those Spanish fiends perched
in tree-tops who fire upon funeral parties
and pick off surgeons while bending over
the wounded?
The Cubans are entitled to justice and a
fair Judgment. They have gone through
such persecution at the hands of Spain as
Is rarely visited on any people, and if they
did not hate the bloody Instruments of her
tyranny they would be altogether too good
for this world.

ures in the purely detective work of the
police. where there is no striking deficiency
IN mere numbers. The lack of sufficient pa
trolmen may handicap the force somewhat
in making immediate captures, but it has
never yet interfered with the work of as
sembling what often satirically desig-
mated by the observant public as "clues."
Mention is occasionally made in behalf of
the police that there Is not sufficient fund
at hand for the offering of rewards for the
capture of escaped prisoners or criminals.
Yet this does not excuse the lack of detec-
tive talents such as have been known in
other communities to obviate largely the
need of bride and reward money. Assured
ly this fund should be larger, but it's small
ness cannot forever excuse the repeated
failures Of the police to apprehend the men
who take human lif, and evade capture.
Frank Funks guilt seems today as clear as
though 1t were confessed. His movements
have been traced to a certain point, and
there they are lost. This knowledge indi-
Gates that had less time been lost in insti-
tuting an immediate investigation of the
case Into its minutest details, had not the
ridiculous theory of suicide been enter
tanned for several hours, the suspicion of
Funk's guilt might have been developed
early enough to permit his capture. But
whatever may have BEEN the cause of this
escape. whatever the causes in the six other
cases, the fact remains that there are now
seven inurderers at large from Washing
ton, a proportion of escapes to captures
dangerously and scandalously large, that is
causing critical comment here and else
where and detracting from the confidence
OF the citizens in thu efficiency of it's police
torce. Cannot something be done to cure
this deplorable condition?

A History-Makin Session.

The session OF Congress that closed yes
terday afternoon will become historical for
the two great enactrnents accomplished by
the houses. The declaration of war with
Spain and the annexation of Hawaii are
events of irnmeasurable consequence. The
war in Cuba had progressed long enough
TO bring the matter TO focus, yet the in
tiuences at work to prevent Intervention
and to postpone the day of reckoning with
Spain were many and powerful. So. too,
with Hawaii. The conditions for annexa-
ton had long been ripe. The war made union
a positive necessity and demonstrated the
truth of the theories concerning this out
post in the Pacific that had been hitherto
based largely upon hypothesis. In putting
an end tc the period of inaction with re-
gard to Cuba and in annexing Hawaii this
Congress did much toward releasing the
United States from the lettering bonds
of tradition and a cankering conservatism.
The measures passed incidental to the war
were in themselves Of great Importance.
The revenue bill and the original emer-
gency appropriation active Items re-
curing and thought, and it rebounds

Peace.

A good deal Of the present peace talk is
pitched in the hifalutin key of diplomacy.
One might suppose that the war had grown
out of a question about which there was
annie room for two opinions, and that the
United States simply because 1t is the
stronger power. should deal in it's hour of
triumph with the utmost consideration and
generosity with Spain. The London Satur-
day Review declares that 1.-The United
States is in a position to act chivalrously
toward an honorable opponent, Who, if de-
feated. is not disgraced.'
II would be worse than folly for the
United States 10 be guided in this matter by
other than a strict sense of justice. Long
continued corrupt and barbarous Spanish
rule in Cuba. crowned with tHo years of
Weyierism and the treacherous destruction
of the Maine, forced it into war. 1t de-
nounced Spain in the strongest terms for
her manifold offenses. and then proceeded
to punish her. 1t did not consider her IAN
honorable opponent" 1t could not do so.
The record forbade it. SPAIN therefore, ac-
cording to the American view. having
brought no Lonor into the conflict. cannot
possibly carry any out. She is being chas-
tised for an obstinate championship CT
crimes against humanity. and when peace
Is made II ought TO De on terms dictated
solely by purpose TO prevent a repetition
of her outrages.
So far as the question Of disgrace is con-
ceIned. that is not TO be determined from
any resistance Spain has set up to the
United States. The men who are fighting
behind intrenchments at Santiago are the
same men who have raided insurgent hos
pitfalls and herded women and children for
starvation throughout the whole of eastern
Cuba. The red Indian and the Zulu, when
cOrnered. rush upon death with good deal
of brute abandon.
If Spain sues for peace the United States
will of course treat with her in good spirit
But there ought not 10 be any stited pal
aver about it. or any terms made on false
foJ ndations. The United States the
champion of humanity must act throughout
for humauity's benefit, and in plain. though
not necessarily flinty, recognition of SPANS
character and want of character. Spain
has not been AN honorable opponent" and
has received only what she has richly de-
served
