INJuNcfsIoN ISSUED.

Judge Milton S.. shumway in the su- perior court yesterday afternoon issued an injunction against the Tide Water Trap Rock company, of Branford, at the instigation of Attorney John K. Beach, representing the town of Bran ford. A $5,0OO attachment has been made in order to bind the injunction. The citizens of the town complain that the Trap Rock company has kept the lift bridge over East Haven river up ir the air for more than the regulation thirty seconds.
 One section of the injunction restraints the company from keeping the bridge in the air more than thirty seconds and another restraints 1t from removing or tearing down any of the piers of the bridge.
 The papers were served on the com- pany yesterday afternoon.

Outlaws.

Three young bandits were yesterday cap
tured not far from Chicago. after desper-
ate battle in the course OF which a railroad
brakeman was killed, a detective mortally
and another detective seriously wounded.
These young men, none being more than
twenty-one years of age. have for some
months terrorized the neighborhood Of Chi
cago, and 1t Is assured that up to date. in
Guiding yesterdays final encounter, no less
than seven lives have been taken by them
and half a dozen men have been seriously
wounded. 1t is reported that the total re-
suit of their thefts of which this killing
and wounding was an accompaniment. is
marksmen. one of them having served in
the army In the Philippines They make no
pretense of concealment of their identity
or records and seem rather proud of their
success in eluding the police for so long.
1t would be interesting to trace the exact
cause of the moral ruin of these young
sters. Was 1t drink, or bad company. or
bad reading or lack of employment, or
what some are pleased to style natural
Cussedness'' that led to their outbreak as
brigands? When they surrendered two of
them declared that their main reason for
yielding was to see their mothers again be-
fore they died This would indicate that
they are not mere waits, but that they have
had good homes. There is no police record
against them prior to the start of their wild
career of theft and murder six months ago
save a short sentence which one served in
the Chicago Jail for a petty offense. Per-
haps the exploits of the outlaw Tracy may
have started them on their way: perhaps
the production of blood-and- thunder plays
in which the hero is a reformed bandit.
Perhaps the association of the names of
two noted pardoned outlaws with a So
called wild west show caused them to be-
lieve that brigandage was an honorable and
safe calling. Whatever the cause 1t
should be discovered for the enlightenment
and assistance of the good people who are
striving to check the growth of crime.

The South in Politics.

The following is attributed to a man of
the name of Emerson described as a law
yer and friend of Mr.. Hanna. who spoke
at political meeting in Cleveland the
other night:

are for Hanna They viii control the con-
Vention, and they cannot be headed off
from their purpose to nominate Hanna

which have greatly weakened his cause"
For financial interests" read New York,
and we have more clearly the kernel OF
Mr.. Emersons very interesting proposition.
When the democrats talk about the south
their observations are worth while The

which the national democracy does bust
ness She ought to have. by reason OF her
strength, more influential voice In the
naming of the partys national candidates.
But she effaces herself I'm that matter, and
trusts to the Judgment of her allies. Just
now she looks to the financial interests
or New York to indicate their preference
for next year. She stands ready to sup.

financial interests are favorable or un-
favorable.

not hope to carry that section for anything

Mr.. Pepper at Colon.

1t is particularly fortunate for the readers
of The Star that his official business re-
uuires the presence on the isthmus Of Mr..
Charles NJ. Pepper at this interesting juno
ture. Mr.. Peppers connection with the
Pan-American railway enterprise compelled
his recent attendance at Colon, and he was
present during the revolution which sep
arated the department from Colombia. His
letter to The Star descriptive of the events
connected with the partition movement,
printed a few days ago, was valuable ad-
dition to the information concerning that
momentous happening. Today The Star Is
enabled to print another letter. describing
present conditions ON the isthmus. 1t will
appear from perusal of this matter that
the region has been very slightly disturbed
by the revolution, and that the people are
greatly pleased at the prospect of the
immediate resumption of the canal work
under the auspices of the United States.
Indeed. Mr.. Pepper says that the prevail
Ing wish at Colon Is that this government
take advantage of the prevalent dry sea-
SON. to inaugurate the important work OF
sanitation. the indispensable precedent of
construction. Mr.. Pepper offers an inter-
esting suggestion as to the future of Co
lombia evidently reflective of the iSthmian
sentiment. The mother country, he AYERS,
may ultimately be compelled to ask for in
corpora ton into the new republic, whose
prosperity is assured by the imminence of
the canal construction. 1t may be regarded
as certain that the shrewd isthmians Will
not be easily caught in any such arrange
ment as the inclusion of the remaining por-
tons of Colombia, which will merely re-
store the balance of power in favor of the
southern departments. leaving Panama in
a minority to population and admins
trative strength. In this connection Mr.
Peppers recital of the conditions of the old
Colombian rule of the isthmus, which he
describes as in some respects as tyrannous
as that of the Spaniards. is pertinent and
interesting.

The Vote Seller.

A Massachusetts, judge has decided that
under the statutes as they stand today IT
Is crime for man to sell his vote
however the law may regard the act OF
buying vote. This decision. upon which
SANDER suit was settled adversely to the
plaintiff. draws such clear distinction be-
tween the buying and the selling OF votes
in the old commonwealth that probably
an effort will be made at once to correct
this discrimination in the statutes. Public
opinion on the subject Of the venal voter
is very much the same as on the question
of bribery in general. that the man who
offers the bride is guilty of a more des-
picable offense than the man he buys, for
he usually takes the Initiative. and tempts
the weaker citizens to do wrong. 1t Is.
however, surprising to learn through this
case that Massachusetts, does not legally
regard the venal voter as criminal at ALL

More Dangerous Searching.

The speed violations of the automobile
owners of this city promise to afford sub
iect for continuous comment Yesterday an
incident occurred on Fourteenth street, at
an hour when that important thoroughfare
was crowded which serves to indicate the
regulations are not sufficiently drastic to
meet all the requirements of the case. Two
young men of means, owners of high power
machines raced for a wager at top speed
from Florida avenue to Thomas Circle.
One of them necessarily went down on the
wrong side of the street and thus broke two
ordinances at once. The pursuing bicycle
policeman declares that the scorchers
travelled at rate of from twenty
five to thirty-five miles an hour. The
regulation, it is assured. was smashed
to smithereens. The young men were
taken to the station house and there
gave assumed names but their Identities
were later revealed through their machine
tags. They deposited collateral of $50
each and were released, but failed to appear
in court today. 1t is important to note that
one of these youths had earlier In the day
been arrested for fast riding on Massachu-
sets avenue and had deposited $40 collat-
eral at the station. Evidently that earlier
experience taught him nothing Many of
the wealthy owners of automobiles have
come to regard the fine as mere incident
to the operating of their machines. to be
charged in with the cost of gasoline and re-
pairs Presumably the lads who used Four
teenth street as a race course yesterday
considered that the fee of $40 for the priyil-
eye moderate. The Star ventures to
repeat its earlier suggestion that the only
way to reach these offenders and to teach
them that the street is not the proper place
for their dangerous performances is by an
amendment of the regulations to provide
that the license to operate in the thorough
fares of the District shall be forfeited after
a certain number of violations. Obviously,
repeated timing has no effect.

Police Protection Futile.

From the New York Tribune.
The fact that a crank found nothing to
prevent him from entering the church
where President Roosevelt was attending
his uncle's funeral yesterday and putting
a letter into his hand is not creditable to
those who were charged with the Presi-
dents protection. Indeed, the incident
almost gives an appearance of foolish
ness to the extraordinary precautions
which had been taken for his security
through which the President was driven.
Eight mounted officers, a dozen central
office detectives and six secret service
men from Washington surrounded his
carriage, and there was large guard at
the church. Nevertheless, a man of sineu-
lar appearance and strange ways, with a
bag in his hand, had no trouble in getting
immediate access to the President and
might have fired a pistol as easily as he
delivered a letter.
