HEARING ron FISHES FRIEND.
II II ~ Vet Gran That Col Sim Jones Fishes
for Lost n 900 Job.

The suit of Col. Jim Jones to recover luis
lost job as Superintendent Of Small Parks,
or any other job in the Park Depart
ment that will pay him 5000 a year, came
up for trial yesterday before Supreme
Court Justice Leventritt and jury. Col.
Jones was put in charge Of the Aquarium
by Park Commissioner Clausen in 1903,
and he became known as -the friend Of the
fishes" When Commissioner Wilcox src-
ceeded Clausen in 1902, he abolished Col
Joness job and discharged him. the Aqua
rum having passed out of the departments
hands into the care Of the Geological So
ciety. Jones then went to the courts.
demanding reinstatement under he veteran
the Appellate Division to submit his case
to jury. Meanwhile Commissioner Will
COX had appointed two confidential assis-
tants, one OF whom, Murphy, does the work
Jones wants to do.
Commissioner Wilcox testified yesterday
that he had thought it for the best interests
Of the department to abolish the position
OF Superintendent Of Small Parks. Any
way, said Wilcox, who is a Republican, Jones
never made any reports about the parks.
The Commissioner admitted that his
snpsrintendent Of Be in e01 HospI, al and
was plumber, knowing nothing about the
care OF trees or horticulture. MurphyE
work, said Mr., Wilcox, was to investigate
the innumerable complaints tina: come into
the Commissioner Office from citizens.
These complaints relate to trampled flower
beds. broken seats, and uncared-for paths
and walks.
Col. Jones took the stand and testified
that he had been a Democrat all his life,
and attributed his discharge to politics.
He told how he had taken over the Aquarium
and reorganized its management. When
Mr.. Wilcox took office, Col. Jones went II
see him at the Arsenal.
Il had heard" said the Colonel, that
the Commissioner was cunning for me,
and l was anxious to hold my JOB. as |
needed the money. / told him, however,
that If l disobeyed any Of his orders he
could have my resignation right away.
He replied that Tammany Hall mon had
all the good places in the department. and
that he could find no places for his friends.
The ext thing knew was discharged"
The trial will continue to-day.

would seem to be no reason why the same

United States and the Philippine Islands, as
the postal rates are the same in both coun-
tries. The same rule was enforced in 1898
and 1900 with the postage and the rcve-
nue. stamps, TO the inconvenience OF many
persons; the new rule will undoubtedly
dscommode many in the future. II the
Philippines had stamps Of their own, as the
British colonies have, the case would be
different.
Great Britain, which has a very COM
plete system OF stamp taxes. issues stamps
which may he used either for postage or
for revenue. Some similar system might be
worked out now in this country, by which
in any future emergency postage stamps
would be available for revenue purposes;
meantime il possible the new rule about
the surcharged stamps should be revoked.

The Jewish INN i grafton.

We are glad TO learn that the Jewish
societies and the individual Jews who give
particular care to the immigration of
their race are not looking forward to so
great an increase in its volume because
of the kishineff outrages as has been
expected by people not familiar with
the subject practically. IL there should
spread among the Jews of Russia any
sudden and widespread impulse to emf
grafton to this country the consequences
to themselves and to the Jews already
here would be unfortunate
At least one-half of the Jews of the
world are in the Russian Empire and the
United States is rapidly becoming, if it
has not already become the seat of the
largest Jewish population in any other
country The Jewish community in New
York is now the most numerous ever
collected together since the Dispersion,
if not at any period in human history,
and even before the kishinef massacre
it was increasing by the greatest jew
ish immigration in modern times The
chief sources from which it has been
coming during the last ten or fifteen years
have been Russia and Austria Hungary.
So numerous and so steady has been the
stream that care for the welfare of the
crowds of strangers has taxed heavily
the resources of the American Jews and
introduced for them a race problem of
peculiarly serious difficulty. Since the
hrt f,T
cially, every Jewish society has been
oppressed by the gravity of the question
OF so sudden multiplication of the race
here ut time when already the Jewish
population of the United States and of
New York, in particular, had been doub-
led within comparatively few years.
Anything like general emigration of
the Jews of Russia would increase that
stream appallingly, for there are some
thing like five millions of them Even
the augmentation Of the volume of i'm
migration by the 25,OOO annually which
has been predicted in some quarters
would be undesirable in the interest of the
newcomers themselves, of the Jews cs-
tabiished here and Of our society gen
orally. They would be additions to n
labor market already overcrowded in
the departments to which they belong
more specifically, and in the event of any
business depression in the future there
would be great suffering among them.

York should continue at its present VOL

Tie Boston. Marblehcad and New York
Are Ordered to Mare Island for Repairs.

WASHINGTON, June A final blow at the
Bremerton navy yard was delivered to-day
by acting Secretary of the Navy Darling
who issued orders sending the Boston and
Marblehead to Mare Island for repairs
instead Of 10 Puget Sound. The New York
has also been ordered to Mare Island,
and will he repaired there il she can go up
the channel.
The decision to send no more naval vessels
to Bremerton for repairs was reached this
afternoon by acting Secretary Darling. who
is of the opinion that the Navy Department
has been unfairly treated by the Bren'er-
ton authorities, in that they have led the
Department to believe hat the objectionable
saloons and gambling houses near the en-
trance 10 the navy yard had been abolished
Reports from Bremerton show that six
saloons still exist on Front street, which
is the thoroughfare leading to the entrance
to the navy yard.
The attitude of the Department. as eH-
planned to-day. is that the saloons must go.
Nothing short of an actual cleaning up of
the city will be regarded as satisfactory.

shock to RUNClE, practical betrayal
of him by friend whom he had trusted
implicitly, and the occasion of the break
in the close relations previously existing
between them.
Such is the origin of the charge of
which the Tribune says that If it is true
Gen. LEONARD WOOD ought to be court
martialed. We agree with our neigh
Dor in that respect,
We add our equally emphatic opinion
that if Mr. RUNclE has been libelling
Gen. WooD in his repeated statements
concerning that officers share in the
transaction, it is RUNcIE who should
be hunted down and severely punished
He is within reach of military discipline
being Lieutenant on the retired list and
still governed by tho Articles of War
and the rules of the War Department.
The situation seems to us to be per-
fectly simple. 1t is question either OF
the full vindication of WOOD or of the
deserved punishment of RUNclE, as the
truth may require and the official ascer-
tainment of the truth is the plain road
to even and impartial justice as between
Gen. WOOD and Ma jor RUNCIE.

Another sign of Improvement in the rcla :

the Eagle Lodge of the international Broth
crhood of Paper Makers, the Holyoke lodge
demanded of the American Writing Paper
Company that it should make each en-
ployee of the company in that town join
the union or discharge him. This demand,
it appears from letter in reply from Presi-
dent CALDWELL, Of the paper company.
was founded on decision recently adopted
by the International society that any
local lodge having as members 80 per cent.
of the paper makers in it's locality must
bring its membership up to 100 per cent
or lose its charter" Monopoly was thus
insisted on.
The paper company replied that while II
never Disseminated against union labor
and habitually recognized and dealt with
the union, il would not blacklist non-union
employees. On Sunday the Eagle Lodge
voted to withdraw its demand.

One Years Course IN Elementary schools
-Four Years in High schools.

City Superintendent Maxwell made a
reply yesterday to a statement made by
Herman Ridder that thousands Of Germans
were indignant because the Board of Educa
ton had abolished the study OF German in
the schools Mr.. Maxwell said that there
is not the slightest foundation for Mr..
Riders statement and that German is
being taught in more elementary schools
than ever before.
Hereafter, Dr. Maxwell says, it will be
taught for one year in the elementary schools
in all boroughs in addition to a four years
course in the high schools for all pupils
who desire it..
The board of supcrintendents, DR.. Max
we'll says, did not see its way clear TO make
German the only foreign language taught
to force the study of German on all pupils
would he process un-American to the last
degree.
