RECEIVER AND GRAND JURY.

IN his charge to the March Grand Jury Re
corder Golf carefully RETAINED from mentiOu-
ing the Third Avenue Railroad Company by
name, but, inasmuch as his reference to that
mismanaged corporation unmistakabe,
nothing seems to have been either lost or gained
by his verbal caution. The Grand Jury is prac-
tically advised 10 consider the propriety and adj
vantage of inquiring into the operations which
have resulted in A receivership, and at the
same time the receiver is officially informed that
if he thinks an investigation necessary the Dis
trict Attorney will bring the subject to The
Grand Jurys attention without delay. We have
no reason to doubt that Mr. Grant is resolved
TO ascertain ali the facts in this suspicious
affair, but it is possible that he would prefer
for the present to get along without the CO.
operation of the District Attorney and the
Grand Jury. He is engaged in a complicated
task, and he certainly has no more time than
he needs for its completion, if he is to report to
the court the 14th inst He may there
fore conclude that action on the part of the
Grand Jury prior TO that date would be more of
a hindrance than a help, and if he should adopt
that view of the matter the public would doubt
less acquiesce
The belief that the methods of management
to which the company's present condition is
attributed need to be not only investigated, but
divulged, in order that justice may be done TO
persons who are perhaps undeserving of CEN
sure and distrust, seems to be growing stronger
from day to day, in spite of various partial eX-
plantations, and even of Mr. Lauterbach's tears
One Of the unfortunate stockholders said yes
terday that if Mr.. Henry Harris persuasions
had been resisted and the stock which was au-
thorized last summer had been issued the COM
pany would now have been in good condition.
policy of negotiating heavy loans at "ruinous
rates Of interest That is interesting, but
hardly satisfactory. If the only thing the mat
ter with the company last summer was an in
sufficient capitalization why did 1t have to pay
ruinous rates of interest: Aside from those
who supplied the money, was anybody bene-
fitted by the payment of those ruinous rates 4?
Were there big commissions, for example, to be
divided among men who were bound to see to
it that the company got the loans on the best
possible terms? These are some of the ques-
tions which not answered by descriptions
of Mr.. Harris unbounded faith and embarrass-
ing obstinacy.
The receivers understanding Of what his
duty requires AMI the facilities at his command
may render it unnecessary for the Grand Jury
10 take the matter up, at least for the present
but there be little doubt that public interest
and public opinion will ultimately require a
full and clear account of the processes by which
such property as the Third Avenue Railroad
was brought to the verge of ruin.

the State Of New York has for more than seven

similar demand from Hawaii for as large a
share in the Government as Pennsylvania has

in the natural divisions of the island, both
physical and in character of population, much
reason for division into two or more States.

self-government and citizenship, hunting up
the hidden Agunado TO repeat the statements

Professor Schurman. The State of Luzon would
have possibly as many persons who can read
the Constitution of the United States as some
small towns in Massachusetts, but its Senators
would have as much power Messrs. Hoar
and Lodge, who stand for over two million
Americans, and the other islands would soon
be ready to make two or more States. and to
take as large share in the government Of this
country the States of Michigan and Indiana
now possess with their five million people.
Thus thirty million Americans in the richest

WITHDRAWS HIS RESIGNATION.
ROBERT B. ROOSEVELT WILL RETAIN
PRESIDENCY OF THE STATE SONS OF
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

Robert B. Roosevelt yesterday decided to with
draw his resignation from the presidency OF the
Empire State Society of the Sons Of the American
Revolution. Mr.. Roosevelt reelected to the
presidency of the organization on last Tuesday
night, but only after a warm and an exciting con-
test Then he wrote letter resigning the office
The letter the subject of considerable discus
sion among the members. and much regret was ex-
pressed at Mr.. Roosevet's action. Representatives
of both factions in the election contest urged him
to withdraw it, but he stood out until yesterday
afternoon, when committee called on him and
told him that his action might arouse old antago-
nisms In the society. and that further his resigna
ton would make necessary an entirely new cleo
ton, which undesirable at the present time.
General Horatio c. King. who was Mr.. Roosevelt's
opponent the recent election. also wrote and
urged him withdraw his resignation

SOME THINGS WANTED.

Why are the Free Trade fanatics so excited
about the revenue duty on products from Puerto
Rico: Fer nothing more than a revenue duty
has by anybody been proposed. The highest
rate named in any of the bills would have been
Of no account for the protection of any indus
try. Yet this particular set of men is found as
red In the face, as unreasonable in attributing
the step TO base motives and as abusive in
speech. as if all their theories and hopes were
at stake. Ii may be confessed that their oppo-
nents cannot much reason for all this bad
temper and heated language. Nothing worse
could be said of a Republican leader in Con-
gress if he had robbed henroost and nothing
worse of the President if he had dishonored a
solemn pledge. Acts and motives on that side
are extremely simple. The President felt so
strong a sympathy for the people of the island
that be thought all duties on their products sent
10 this country might be put aside. But Con-
2ressmen found that course would be used as
q precedent for denying the right to collect or
impose duties on products from other island
possessions, and so proposed instead low reve-
nue. duty. with grant of the whole proceeds to
the needs of Puerto Rico. Why on earth should
anybody go into Mysteries about so slight diff
ference or so harmless remedy?
The puzzle prompts a doubt whether the Free
Traders have not in mind some larger and
more important scneIne IMAM they nave aVowed.
There are actionc pending in the courts
FOR the recovery Of duties paid on products Of
Puerto Rico, On the ground that the island has
become part of the United States, so that the
existing tariff can no longer apply TO imports
from il TO United States ports If these suits
should be pushed forward rapidly and reach
judicial decision before Congress has oppor-
tunity 10 act on the general question of the
status and treatment Of island possessions, a
naked and unexplained revocation of all duties
on imports from Puerto Rico might easily be
held BY the courts final decision of Congress
regarding the status of that island. AS no
court could doubt the power of Congress to
admit the island and It's people within the
United States by direct enactment neither
could ifs power TO do the same thing by impli-
cation be denied. But one such decision would
instantly be used as n precedent for action in
regard 10 all other island possessions.
Puerto Rico politicians want admission of
the island as a State, and in order to hasten
fine day of their entrance upon fat offices are
ready 10 make any kind Of bargain with the
Marty out of power. The island would have, il
admitted, two seats in the Senate. as much

A good many people who fully uphold the
Republican view of the penary power of Con-
gress in dealing with territories, for sentimental
or other reasons, are against the exercise of
that right in the levy of a special tariff law for
Puerto Rico. They are for the doctrine. but
against its enforcement, and profess themselves
unable to see why it should be enforced in case
of the little island of Puerto Rico They sug-
gest that the principle is not invalidated by
failure TO exercise it for the sake of showing
special generosity to the people who have so
welcomed rule and they ask why all that
is desired would not be accomplished by n
Free Trade bill with a mere declaratory clause
asserting the right of Congress and serving
notice that the bill is not TO be regarded as a
precedent for later extending the Constitution
and laws TO the Philippines.
Such a declaration amounts to nothing for
the establishment beyond question at the out
set of our extrl-continental administration of
this free hand which is almost. If not cutie,
essential to the successful solution of the Phil
ippine and general West Indian problems which

have declarations in plenty. The Louisiana
legislation OF 1904. which denied trial by Jury
in cases where the Constitution guaranteed if
was in effect such a declaration. The fat re-
fusa of the Congress Of 1922 to recognize that
Florida had any rights under the Constitution
was such declaration. Nevertheless, it is still
open question, particularly as regards the
tariff article of the Constitution which some
construe TO be fundamental general restriction
on the power OF Congress. universal In its ap-
plcation, even If there are territories which
Congress can govern unhampered by other con-
sttutional rules. Now 1t is highly important to
get this question settled. AS Mr.. Payne, in his
admirable opening of the Puerto Rican debate
