BLOWN TO SHORE AND LIFE
Two Jersey City Boys Mar
row Escape From Death
in Lower Bay.

.Jack" Moore and Eddie" F'laacke, two
prominent club men Of this city, came
very near losing their lives one evening
last week Moore who is the owner of
several pleasure yachts. invited his friend
Flaacke to enjoy three days cruise
with him along the Jersey coast in his
new yacht Amy. They left communipaw
on bright and sunny day and everything
pointed towards an excellent trip. They
sailed as far south as Atlantic City.where
they enjoyed several hours on shore with
several friends and started back for Jer-
sey City.
On reaching the southern point Of Stat
en- Island about seven o'clock in the even
ing,a thunder storm came up and they
were caught in a squall. Parts of their
rigging were broken and one Of the sails
ripped and torn tS ribbons, The wind
would continually hit the boat amidship,
turning her around and around The
water rushed over the deck of the boat
and half the time they were seated in
several feet of it, The young men were
about to give themselves up as lost when
Moore made one more effort at the rud-
der and turned the craft in towards
shore. The wind WAS so strong that II
sent them in toward land and up on the
shore Of Midland Beach. Their fight
against death was so great that they were
utterly exhausted when they jumped
from the boat and they Immediately made
for the nearest hotel to seek shelter and
food leaving the yacht at the mercy Of
the breakers.
Upon arising next morning they found
Il. -
boat had almost demolished It, The mast
and rigging were broken of and lost and
a large hole stove in the starboard side.
Moore and Flaacke started home by way
OF the trolley cars and returned In the af-
ternoon to tow the broken craft back to
Communipaw. Moore stated last evening.
1t was the first time | ever saw death
staring me in the face and that gust of
wind was God send

Magistrate Cornell of New York yester-
day turned the tables on scoundrelly
policeman who had ill-used and finally
arrested citizen for no offense what
ever-the only allegation in the case being
that the man was standing on a street
corner. There was abundant proof of the
policemans wanton and abusive conduct,
50 Mr.. Cornell ordered a charge of dis
orderly conduct entered against him. and
promptly fined him $40, which was paid.
Magistrate Cornell deserves the thanks
of the whole community for this just, wise
and courageous action. No doubt he will
earn the enmity of the police but he
will have the support and approval of
all the rest Of he community. Perhaps
his course will put spirit into his COL
leagues on the police bench to take SINH
lar action. AT any rate, the policemen
who are on duty in the court district
where he presides. will be chary of maxi
ing outrageous arrests.

RACES Of uniformed rowdies have been al

passes in New York that one or more
charge made by patrolman is not

circumstances involve direct perjury on
the part Of the officer. The newspapers
constantly print such cases, but we never
before have seen case in which the true
culprit was punished. Generally he is al

a Hypocrite in the Piliory.

In the SUN of yesterday, Mr.. Freder-

Editor of the "Evening journal" of this
city, published a letter commenting on
the book which is now creating sensa-
tion among the feather-headed. What
would Jesus Dor After giving more
than due credit to the author of the work

born attacks him with much force on the

the question: II Jesus had conceived ana

to convey 10 all the world His intentions.

might know them and emulate tne ex-
amples of the persons described in the
story, would He seek 70 limit its circu-
lation by copyright? Copyright means
monopoly. 1t Is indeed very proper in or
dtnary literary ventures, but this is not
a literary venture; its every page IS a
protest against sxcluslveness and profits,
and a plea for the widest circulation
possible at the least expense TO all and
without gain TO any. I am Informed that
the book has already run into three mil
lions of copies. as It is. Think how many
more people It might reach, were 1t given
zo the world like the voice of Rachel
AFinslow, free.
I really find it impossible to parallel
this intensely religious book with any thing
that Jesus did. The Sermon on the Mount
appears TO have been delivered without
restrictions OF any kind and / find noth-
ing in the writings Of Matthew to indi-
cate that ne wrote with a view to a
every other part of the Testament Even
Paul. who certainly wrote WELL seems to

for hire? Is 1t not rather an exception

snQuld make literal sacrifice of all rights

Jesus copyright that book, with "all
rights reservoir"
MFR. Pangborn might have gone one step
further. He might have asked how Mr..
Sheldon-we believe this is the individ,
paPs name-came to permit the serial
publication of the work in a New York
newspaper, whose only claim on publica-
tion is its habitual dishonesty and OBJ
scenity? He might ask if Jesus would do
this Mr. Pangborn might also ask how
Mr.. Sheldon comes to be writing another
work Of the same stamp and permitting
its serial publication in still another New
York newspaper. even more violent, more
dishonest and more obscene than that
which published his first work. We may
all ask whether Jesus would do this.
We may also ask If it is not pretty
plain that Mr.. Sheldon is a mischievous
hypoerite, disturber Of the public mind
and conscience for his own profit.

court officers thought the offense should
be dealt with by the Police Commission

PRODUCTS SENT TO RUSSIA.
Conditions Under Which They VIII Re
Admitted Free.

The Department of State desires to make
correction of a press item to the effect that
the minister of finance of Russia had in
formed our embassy at St. Petersburg that
American products intended for exposition
purposes would be admitted free upon the
condition that a sum corresponding to the
amount of the duties on the products he
deposited as guarantee, and that this sum
would be returned in case the products
should be exported within a certain time.
The action of the Russian governments
was not taken in view of a general promo
sition that American manufactures sbonId
be admitted free for purposes of exposition
but was IN view of q suggestion previously
made that a special exposition In some des
ignated Russian capital for limited time
oEiy OF American products and manufac-
trres might be organized by American ex-
porters with the sanction of the United
States government and the permission of
the Russian government.
The Russian minister's statement to tho
United States embassy at ST. Petersburg
mad reference only to the treatment of
goods sent to that exposition, should the
proposed project be realized. 1t has no ref
erence to any general admission Of Ameri-
can goods for purposes of commercial dis
play; and exporters should be cautioned
not to attempt to send any goods or sam
pies to Russia on individual account, under
the impression that they will be bonded for
re-exportation in the manner described,
