supremely happy are Taisanah Rhee
and his father, Sung Mahn Rhee. in
their new home.
Through the story published in The
Sunday Times, concerning the Korean
who is SO coura geousiy seeking an edu-
cation 10 the ministry, that he may be-
come d missionary in his own country
and his little son. Tafsanah, both have
been taRen in by Mr.. and Mrs. George
E. Harbaugh, of 800 A street south
east
Sung Mahn asked The Times only to
find a Christian family who would give
the boy an education. But Mr.. and
Mrs. Harbaugh were so pleased with
father and son that they would not see
them separated.
Daughter IN Korea.
BY strange coincidence The home
found for the Koreans is one In which
deepest interest is felt in the welfare
of the Hermit Kingdom, for the Har-
baughs' only daughter has long been
missionary in that far of land.
1t Is wonderful. I cannot understand
my good fortune." said Sung Mahn
Rhee this morning, and SO deep was his
gratitude that. in spite Of his efforts
to smile, it was with queer little catch
thanks TO The Times for its aid IN finding
for him and his tiny son such an ideal
abiding place.
IT did not know whether The Times
would care to put in a little advertise
ment TO help me or not, he said. L
was in my room studying On Sunday
morning. and Taisanah was asleep when
this good gentleman came for Us.
ut is good of you TO come and see
us today. I know you are glad We have
such nice place
Father May Study.
Sung Mahn Rhee will now be able to
pursue his studies, without being ham
pered by the care Of his little son. The
aid secured will enable him TO fulfill
his cherished ambition to take the col
lege course at George Washington Uni
versity. secure his degree and complete
his studies in a theological seninary-ail
within three years. and at the end or
that time return as missionary 10
Korea.

the inspectors of street cleaning in the
District, has long been reader OF The

What Mr. Harbaugh Did.
Describing the events leading up 10
mis- offer of a home to the Rhees, Mr..
Harbaugh said:

The Bill Of Rights.

The fourth amendment TO the Consti-
tuition of the United States, proposed
by the First Congress, which met in the
city of New York on Wednesday, March
4, 1880, is as follows:
The right Of the people to be secure In their
persons. houses papers and effects, against un-
reasonable searches and seizures SHAH not be VIC
lated and no warrants shall issue, but upon proba
bic cause supported by oath or Affirmation, and
particularly describing the place 10 he searched and
the person or things to be seized"
This sweeping and comprehensive
section was adopted for the protection
of the homes Of the citizens from nva-
sion by the authorities on petty pretexts
and errands. It's authors were men who
held that the law abiding mans house
was sacred to him and to his family and
that only the gravest public necessity
could justify an entry into it in the name
of the law.
The spirit that animated the law
makers who adopted the Bill OF Rights
is little in evidence in the man who drew
and introduced in the New York Legis-
lature Of 1905 the bill for the extension
OF the powers Of the State Superintendent
Of Elections. Senator ELsBERG's pro-
posed law would confer upon an execu-
tive officer and his deputies the right to
invade at any time the home Of any resi-
dent of the counties of Kings, New
York, Queens, Richmond or Westchester.
The inmates Of that home could be sub
jected 10 an inquisitorial process limited
in its scope only by the Imagination and
ingenuity Of the officer. If answers to
any OF the questions we're refused, the
person refusing could be arrested with
out warrant, and prosecuted in the
courts for misdemeanor,
The power that Senator ELsBERd
seeks TO grant 10 the State Superin-
tendent of Elections is merely a modfi-
cation OF the right Of search, against the
abuse Of which the founders OF the Amer
lean Republic took core to guard the
people. Their homes would be at the
mercy Of subordinate executive officer
of the State, the tool of political faction
Of the voters. Their peace and comfort
would be disturbed within the walls Of
their own houses. They would not be
secure in their persona against 4un-
reasonable annoyances.
Senator ELsBERG's proposed law, in
troduced in the interests of the Odell
State machine, violates the spirit, if not
the letter, of the fourth amendment TO
the Constitution of the United States. 1t
violates every tradition of American law
and jurisprudence. It is wrong in prin-
ciple, indecent in motive, and the Legis-
lature should never allow it to be re-
ported for passage

President ROOSEVELT has not been kept
long In suspense a. TO the character of
the Hon JAMES r. GARFIELD, Commits
sloner Of Corporations in the Department
of Commerce and Labor Mr.. GARFIELD,
in obedience to the orders Of his supe-
rior, made a careful Investigation Of
the meat packing trade throughout the
United states In his report, which was
made public last week, he declared that
the packers had not been making exor-
bitant profits. and that during certain
extended periods OF time they had 9ctu-
ally sold their wares TO the public for less
than cost
This wns not the sort Of a report that
the trust busters wanted. They had
not studied the meat business, but they
assumed that the packers were screwing
immense profits from the consumers.
They expected Mr. GARFIELD 90 support
their side OF the story What he did ac-
tually they look upon M treason tho
highest Of high crimes and misdemean-
ors Promptly they have struck back at
him.

on tho President to dismiss Commits

Connecting Railroad.


The Aldermen's Committee on Bridges and
Tunnels made no report yesterday on the
application Of the NewYork Connecting Rail-
way Company to run railroad from South
Brooklyn through Long Island City and over
Wards and Randalls islands TO Mott Haven.
In an interview which appeared yesterday
morning President Fornes was quoted as
saying that II the committee did not report
the matter out at yesterdays meeting he
would find some kind of big stick to force
it to act Yesterday Mr.. Fornes merely
made mildly worded plea to all committees
to act as speedily az possible on matters
pending before them in order TO relieve
the calendar
He didn't mention the Bridges and Tlln-
nels Committee specifically, Little Tim
Sullivan did, though. He Is the chairman
Of the committee.
THE members Of my committee he
said. have no apology to offer for any action
or want Of action on our part nor are we
going to be swayed by any manufactured
sentiment on the part Of some newspapers
Mr. Sullivan went on to relate that the
agitation in favor Of the Connecting Rail-
road was being fathored by a man who
posed as a reformer and who practised law
In the Office Of Edward NJ Shepard, special
counsel to the Pennsylvania company.

president will not fall victim to this man
