DELAwARE,S FAILURE.
In Three Consecutive Stages the
State Has Failed to Do Its Duty

Delaware has wholly failed to execute
its own laws. Chief Justice Lore and
his associates, by refusing to call a spe-
cial court for the prompt and speedy
trial of the negro guilty of a crime
which had justly stirred the state to
its depths, prevented a righteous and in
slant execution Of law on a criminal
s~elf-confessed and opened the way to
the crime of the mob. The grand jury
now refuses to act on the crime Of the
mob, and the state stands before the
country powerless TO prevent crime or
to punish it.
In three successive stages the state
mas failed in its duty and in this coun-
Try a state" is but its citizens. Del
aware left its roads without adeQute
police, and its semi-criminal and GRIM
NAL population Of both cOlorS without
adequate check. All men knew thai
the human wolf was abroad, now black
and now white, but more black thar
white. Yet Delaware leaves is country
roads without guard, and all our states
leave with insufficient punishment the
offense and attempts at the offense
which led to the mob. Only n penalty
-surgical-is adequate.
Having made it easy for the human
wolf to do his awful work, Delaware did
not provide a prompt court of law, and
the judges refused to provide one by
special order, a grievous responsibility
they must ever carry. The mob came.
Mob power and mob spirit silenced and
stopped the course of law in July. Official
apathy and public sympathy stop it
now.
No state can retain public respect,
maintin public order, or continue the
orderly execution of law where such
things are. 1t is certain to go on from
bad to worse, as law grows weak.-PhiI-
adelphia Press.

GRIEVANCE AGAINST SCHWAB.
troll Was Taken in an Illegal
Way.

New York. October 10.-In answer to
Inquiries, Samuel Unter1neyer counsel
for stockholders executive committee
Of the ~shipyards company today made
the following statement
y attempt has been made to sub
pOenae George w. Perkins. There will
will not be the least delay in doing so
whenever he is desired. Mr.. Perkins,
unlike Mr.Schwab,Is one Of the most ac-
cessible men in New York. He has
volunteered to testify whenever nOti-
fled.
Il have already said and repeat that
the creditors of the shiDbuIiding ON
pany whom we represent a 10
grievance against j.. PierpOnt Morgan
and The agreement with
the Schwab Morgan stock before other
stock was marketed was made with
Mr.. SchWab. 1t provides for the mar
keting of fifty thousand shares Of
stock of Messrs. Morgan and
with the 80, 900 shares of Mr.. Schwab.
Our grievances against Mr.. Schwdb
n his representatives Mr.. Pam, are
toward establishing these charges and
toward establishing the Sc charges and
not against Messrs. Morgan and
pany that the testimony of Mr.. Dres-
ser is directed. The first mortgage
bondholders cfaim that Mr.. Schwab,
under the guidance n inspiration of
Mr.. Pam took control of the sh1pya. ds
company in an irregular and unlawful
way, by means Of a sale of thu Bethle-
hem plant, at an eXtOrtionate price
n upon unconsionable terms. That
having thus secured control, the con-
Gition Of the company was m%isrepre-
sented to the stock exchange by the
company's treasurer as one Of great
promise n prosperity. when it was
at that time on the eve of cola Ise
and that this was done to induce i'll
TeStOrs to buy the securities.
The ~bondhOlderS claim that Schwab's
10000, 900 mortgage is void. that he is
subject to Il stock liability of $50. 001,-
600 on stock for which he has not
paid, and that the company can be
made entirely solvent by the enforce
ment OF the remedies against him for
his acts.
