NEW YORK, June 4--Succeedlng
the recent calm in the multifarious liti-
cation growing out Of the collapse Of
the United States Shipbuilding Compa-
ny. a storm is about to break. The
sormaI legal proceedings-looking TO the
Denomination Of the concern along the
lines Of the compromise have been go
ing along placidly enough. The routine
necessary 10 the foreclosure sale Of all
property from Maine to California
prior to the acquisition OF the plants by
the new interests concerned has been
almost completed, but one disturbing
element is stil active.
During the week beginning June %

profered by Charles A Kavanaugh,
the wealthy Waterford, y. Y, manu-
facturer. who invested in about s75,-
600 Of the securities Of the Inflated
ehipyards combination, 20 the effect
that he was deceived ard misled by
prospectuses circulated by the pro-
snoters and fnanciers. There were
Two Of these prospectuses. one dated
April l9. 1902. the other dated June
"A OF the same year. The names of
those influential hnanciers interested

the leading American shipbuilding
concerns differ in these two circulars.
The terms Of the proposition are diff

der & Green. legal advisers Of the
United States Shipbuilding Company;
Alvin W Krech. then president of the
Mercantile Trust Company, Of which
Alexander & Green are counsel. and
several other individuals. alleging mis-
representations.
Those interested in the shipyards
combination are preparing & vigorous
defence. Kavanaugh has as his coun-
sci Edgar T. Bracket of Saratoga
County, who is known as a relentless
foe. 1t was he who last spring wished
10 have 2 legislative investigation not
merely Of the shipbuilding company
but Of all similar concerns that stirred
the financial community during the
boom times Of 1902-O3, with view TO
recommending restraining legislation.
AS late as last week there were per-
sistent rumOrs that a settlement had
been effected with Kavanaugh and it is
known that Senator Bracket had been
IN this city almost continuously dur
ing the last month, but he has insisted
that il is a public duty to have this
matter prObed TO the bottom. With
that end in view Samuel Untermeyer
has been retained to conduct the cross
examination in the Kavanaugh suit.
James B. Dill has Joined hands with
Untermeyer and Senator Bracket in
pushing the Kavanaugh suit.

fire last evening consumed eighty
acres of potatoes on the Jones tract be-

dropped the flames were brought un-

fire is still smoldering, but there is
no danger of it spreading. The land

True Love Imp3ded.

There seems to be something rather
queer about the workings of the i'm
migration inspection laws in New
York. Every few days one hears Of
some woman or other being held up
because she says she has come to this
country to get married, and her be-
throthed does not appear. In two re-
cent cases the women had plenty of
money, were cabin passengers. and
were apparently of good character.
One was stopped and questioned the
other day because she happened to
have got herself engaged TO a fellow
passenger on the way over. She was
coming to this country 10 travel. so
she said, and she was we'll supplied
with funds.
But just suppose that the officials
at some English port should hold up
an American woman, travelling for
pleasure, because she intended 20
marry a fellow traveller Phew! How
the eagle would scream.

OF Astronomical Theory.

To the Squirrel Editor Of the Times;
Although the discussion mas al
ready exceeded tbs. limits Of the cell
ebrated Marv-Arfn controversy,
regret 10 observe that no one OF your
numerous correspondents has yet
given a full and true solution Cf the
squirrel-hunter problem.
The circle Jraversed by the sQutr-
rel may be regarded automatically
as composed of an infinite number OF
arcs. described with n radius equal
to the distance between squirrsi and
hunter, with the hunter as center.
Hence u follows that the squirrel
goes around the hunter, and this
conclusion is unavoidable. however
surprising u may seem TO soma or
your lay readers.
But this Is Onlg Onc-halt Of the
truth. because upon the principle
above stated the hunter also goes
around the squirrel :he circle trav-
ersed BY the hunter being described
with the same radius with the SPUR
rel as center 1t all depends upon
your pOint OF view. therefore.
whether YOU say the hunter gOsS
around the squirrel or the squirrel
goes around the hunter. Both 90
buttons are absolutely true and con-
sistent

chile of double stars. which mutual

Golden Rule" Jones

Golden Rule Jones, of Toledo,
was a remarkable man. His So
briquet was originally given him in
derision, but he lived that down. Of
late years it has been a token of the
honor and esteem-nay more, the
genuine affection-~in which he was
held by a great city.
Samuel NJ. Jones was remarkable
in that he actually proved that a man
can be prosperous by giving other
men a square deal. This is some
thing that the business world in gem
eral does not believe to be practical
Else the gouging of employees would
cease, and cutthroat tactics would be
relegated to the dark ages where they
belong.
Golden Rule" Jones considered
eight hours a day enough for any
man to work, and the employees in his
factory for the making of oil well
supplies worked eight hours, were
paid maximum wages, given a weeks
vacation every year, and from to 10
per cent of the yearly profits. That
seems almost too good to be true, and
the strange part of it is that Jones
made it pay
Mr.. Jones was first dominated for
mayor of Toledo by the Republicans
in 1897. and elected by a small plu-
rality. The party did not like his
way of administering the affairs of
the city, and refused him a nomina-
ton two years later He ran indie
pendently and polled 20 per cent of
the entire vote cast. He did the same
thing again in 1901 and 1903.
II is easy to call a man ike that
crank" but Mayor Jones ability so
consistently to retain the esteem of
his friends and neighbors declares a
quality of crankiGess we'll worth hav-
ing. The truth is, he was an honest,
smart, conscientious, and courageous
man, who tried to do good rather than
evil, and who succeeded.

pretenses, and without due regard to
honor"
Now was the die irredeemably cast.
a silence, which for months had been
so still that the country had heard
little else, was finally broken. Like
the thunderings of Sinai its effect
was tremendous. The famous tele-
gram was on its way to st. Louis, and
the Democratic party was given cause
for eternal gratitude to the inventor
of that means for the transmission OF
intelligence, in which the convention
itself was so conspicuously lacking.
Within a twelve hours, ere Erebus
had drawn back his dark curtain at
the call of day, Democratic editors all
over the country had filled their ink
pots with fluid analogous TO Stephen
Cranes red badge of courage" and
were writing winged words of jubila-
ton over the fact that. all unbe-
knowst to itself or anybody else, the
Democratic convention had actually
nominated a real mar as its Presi-
Dental candidate.
Judge Parker, ii is true, may never
become President of the United
States, but that is no reason why the
country should be deprived of some
memorial OF this most thrilling cpl
sode. Why not monument at ESQ
pus, which for months to come will
be the Democratic Mecca-an eQues-
TRAN statue, heroic size, portraying
the judge buried in deep thought as
he started forth on that morning
ride?
Let it stand before the people on a
sturdy pedestal Of granite, and in
that imperishable stone let these sin
gle lines from Pope be chiseled deep,
fortified forever against the destruc-
tive corrOsiOns of the elements:
Poetic Justice, with her lifted scale,
Where in nice balance, truth with gold she
weighs.
And solid pudding against empty praise.

A New Capital Crime.

The recent crime in Burlington, N.
j., and other events of the same ma
ture in that locality, nave started the
people Of that State thinking that It
would be well to make the assaulting
of women a capital crime. While it
is not desirable to increase the num-
Der Of capital crimes on the statute
books, this is one which ought 10 be
punished by death if anything ought
In the Burlington case it has been
found that the chief miscreant had
only recently been discharged from
prison, where he had served a four
years sentence for a similar crime
Imprisonment did no good whatever
in his case. and it is TO be doubted
whether it ever does that particular
variety Of criminal any good The
law In most States Furnishes this
crime with a comparatively short
term of Imprisonment.
1t is time something was done for
the safety of the community. We
cannot afford to have the lynching
fever spread, and innocent men killed.
When the offense in question has been
made rare, and the human fiends who
are guilty OF it have disappeared from
the earth, II will be time enough TO
talk of tightening the penalty.
