HrDSOy RIVER TUNNEL PLANS.

Within the last few days the technical press
has published many of the details of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's proposed work in
and near this city. Some of these particulars
will be found on another page Of to-days Trib

Expectations of that sort. if not fully realized,

The most striaing innovation outlined In the

posed method of supporting the twin tubes
which are TO be built in the soft mud of the
Hudson. Perhaps the same feature will charac-
terize the East River tunnels also. Piles have

works. but they have hitherto been wooden and

NEW,JERSEYS SCHOOL LAW.

New-Jersey's general school law was wiped
out by O decision of the Court OF Errors and
Appeals on the ground that it was unconstitu-
tional. There was too much at stake to wait
until the regular session of the legislature next
January, and so, in response to Governor Muir
phys call, the lawmakers met in special ses-
sion last Thursday. They found on reaching
Trenton that the State Board of Education had
a new school act all ready. AS this measure
contained several hundred sections and affected
every school district in the State, with their
varying needs and conditions, IL would have
been the part OF wisdom TO make haste slowly
with it. Efforts were made to have the lecis-
lators discuss whatever amendments were sug-
gested on the spur of the moment and then ad-
iourn until some day this week. so a 10 permit
careful and deliberate examination by educa-
tional and municipal experts and the news

things through and get home.

House and was amended i'm the Senate II must

CRIME LAWYERS AND LABOR MEN.

"Sam" Parks was pretty thoroughly discred-
tied with everybody except some deluded labor
unionists before his confederate. Farley, made
a confession to District Attorney Jerome Now
his career of Wholesale Matchmaking, to which
is added record OF perjury and treachery TO
associates whom he had brought into trouble, is
revealed. 1t remains TO be seen If there are
still laboring men so foolish TO he his dupes
longer and TO let him, for his base purposes,
keep them from work on which they and their
families depend. The District Attorney prom
Uses to prosecute Parks for perjury, and he may
also have to face charges of having, as the agent
of contractors who did not wish TO complete
their contracts, extorted $4,000 from W. E. D.
Stokes 10 prevent strikes on the Hotel Ansonia.
This new indication Of systematic rascality on
the part of contractors and their conspiracy
with the unions to defraud their clients ought
to cause complete reorganization of the build
ing business and provoke vigorous measures TO
protect property owners.
Another feature of the Farley confession,
which not less imperatively calls for action by
the criminal courts than Farley's charge against
Parks, IS his charge that he was instructed TO
commit perjury by lawyers. This crime of per
Jury with the knowledge, if not by the instruc-
ton of members of the bar is dangerously
common. II is time for courts and lawyers to
arouse themselves TO action for the honor of the
legal profession and the protection of the pub
lie If such crimes on the part of lawyers are
allowed to go unpublished the whole admins
tration Of justice will be brought into contempt,
and the life, property and reputation of every
citizen will be menaced 1t is time for action to
raise the standard of the bar. A few weeks ago
the Supreme Court in the I'D District In a civil
case decided that a well known lawyer had
hui baya hos ard rb1
any criminal proceedings have been taken in
accordance with the findings of Mr. Justice
Smith. or that any movement has been begun
by the Brooklyn bar to secure this mans dis
barment though his professional bad charac-
ter is well known and his msd ings once
before secured his suspension from practice
through the mistaken leniency Of court which
might properly have disbarred him. This case,
followed by the revelations about lawyers en-
ployed in the Parks matter brings sharply to
attention the low standard which bench and bar
have permitted TO exist here among lawyers.
The lawyers who commit crime are indeed COM
paratively few. but their immunity and the I'M
readiness of judges and other lawyers to pun
ish those who are known to engage in dishOn-
est practices reflect dlscredit on the whole legal
pSSiOD.
