CHASED STEA lLER WITH WRIT
TUG COULDN'T CATCH THE LAIN. WITH
EXTRADITED PRISONER ON BOARD

Judge Lacombe yesterday issued writ Of
habeas corpus for s. Leon Dutardin. passenger
on the steamship Lahn. which sailed yesterday
morning. Dujardin is alleged to have forged
draft in Germany for 10000 marks. and was be-
ing taken back to Germany on extradition papers
obtained by the German Government
BENJAMIN g. Loeser Of No. 800 Broadway, Du-
jardin's counsel, however. secured the writ from
Judge Lacombe. and sent two men in a tug after
the Iahn which sailed before the order could be
issued.
Dujardin arrived here on November u He
was arrested on complaint OF the German consul
general Carl Buenz. He was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Alexander, and held
to await extradition proceedings. On Monday
Judge Lacombe signed an order for Dujardin TO
be turned over 10 the German Government.
BENJAMIN G. Loeser. counsel for Dujardin,
heard that he had been taken board the
I.ahn only through telephone message which
they received from one of the passengers whom
they do not know. and they FASTENED at once to
get a writ of habeas corpus from Judge La
cornbe bit IL took some time to find him, and no
other Judge would interfere. The writ was
finally secured, however and the tug n. B. Star
buck was hired and sent after the Lain. The
tug started at 2:15, going at full speed. and
reached quarantine at 3 o'clock. There was
dense fog at the time. and the tug steamed
around vany endeavoring to find the Lahn AT
4 O'Clock the fog began TO lift, and the Lain was
sighted about four miles away. The tug then
tried TO head her off, thinking that she would
stop TO put the pilot off, but she merely slowed
up, and IL was impossible to catch her.

INTERESTING DIALOGUE BETWEEN SEN
ATOR KRUM AND JOHN B. PINE
AT HEARING

Albany March 2s.-"What J. P. Morgan and
other private bankers want Is all the privileges that
other corporations get and the right to antagonize
and compete with banking corporations. and yet
not TO pay any tax for the privilege" said Senator
Hobart Krum John B. Pine this afternoon at
the hearing on the bill to tax private bankers
per cent on their capital. Mr. Pine said he repre-
sented j. P. Morgan & Co. Winsow Lanler & Co.
Kountze Brothers. Vermilye & Co.. Harvey Fisk &
Sons and Speyer e. Co. OF New-York. He had
ventured the remark that the private bankers
should not be taxed because they already paid
personal taxes.
do you know how much Mr.. Morgan paid last
year on personal property?" asked Senator Krum.
NO DON'T answered Mr. Pine.
THE fact is that he paid very little did all
these other bankers. as compared with what they
are rated at personally" said Senator Krum.
II don't know that" answered Mr. Pine.
Don't you know that this bill will exempt your
bankers from taxation on personal property for
local purposes and the tax in New-York City
is 2a per cent and the proposed tax is per cent.
you will beneht?" asked Senator Krum.
Mr. Pine argued that 'the proposed bill violated
a principle by discriminating against particular
kind OF business and imposing upon it burden
which is shared by others. No just distinction
IN the matter of taxation can be made between
private banking ard other kinds OF mercantile
ton and derives no privileges whatever from the
State"

ON and discussion of the subject In
suuncc against strikes forms a pro-
mnent feature of the programme Of the
national convention of Austrian manu-
features which met last October
IL appears that this movement II in
dustrial employers is not confined to
Austria II is reported that a similar
insurance association, though on a
smaller scale has been organized in
Leipzig. Both the Austrian and Ger
man associations, it appears recognize
in principle the business of strikes;
which is, at least in central Europe an
important concession to labor. Whether
this recognition will have any practical
result. remains for the present a matter
of conjecture
We may just as well face the ques-
ton first as last. 1t has been one Of
the curses of the islands to let things
run and to avoid unpleasant POSSIBLE
ties. 1t was in this way, when it was
plain that annexation meant the end
of the contract labor system, that little
or no effort was made to prepare to
meet the change. There were thinkers
among those who had large interests
here that urged that some effort should
be made to prepare for meeting the
changed conditions, but the advice Of
such men was usually cast aside and
they We're regarded as rather nuisance
than otherwise. 1t is just the same
with strikes, methods of preparation to
meet such crisis will be ignored until
we get them good and solid. Then there
will be a hasty scramble to meet an
economic trouble. Economic troubles
are better met with forethought than
| by hasty expedients when the trouble
comes. 1t is only another phase of the
old proverb that an ounce of prevention
| is worth a pound of cure.

STRIKES.

The strike upon the Kahului Railroad
came to naught, but We may cXpectc
strikes in the future and must he pre-
pared for them. If labOrers have a
right, which is undoubted of banding
together. employers have an equal right
of organizing themselves for their own
self protection. For what ever may be
said on the one side can also be said on
the other. But the establishment of
two camps, such as there is to be de-
precated.
In New Zealand. where many econo-
mic questions have been satisfactorily
solved the system of arbitration has
been brought to a point not known in
other parts of the world. The result
has been a thoroughly satisfactory con-
dition of the laboring classes in New
Zealand. 1t is true that New Zealand
laborlng classes are probably more in
telligent than are to be found in many
parts of the world. But intelligence
does not necessarily prevent striking.
There is certainly not a more inteli-
gent class than the engineers of the
North of England and of Wales. But
in spite &c that intelligence strike
was kept up by that body for a period
of two years, which carried with it
fatal destruction to business interests
for probably fifty years to come and did
not better the mechanical engineers.
1t was not the direct loss that was so
fatal though that was very large, and
absorbed the savings of a large body Of
men, while it crippled the capitalists,
but it swept away trade into different
channels, and once that has gone as
tray it is difficult to get it back again,
and the end of the engineers strike
was disaster.
How we are to deal with strikes here
is a problem which we will have to
face. Legislation cannot deal with
strikes, and the great question before
us is whether we can deal satisfactorily
with them through arbitration. If we
are to do so it means organization and
a great deal Of work on the part of the
employers and the advanced thinking
employees to prepare a system which
will approve itself to the mass. There
is one element in human character
which can be touched if care is taken,
and that is its belief in fair dealing.
If this can be appreciated the danger
of strikes will be minimized.
In Austria the manufacturers have
recently formed an association for in
surance against strikes, It is the OBJ
ject of the association 10 indemnify
its several members for all losses sus-
tanned by them from unjust strikes
