The Mission OF judge Calhoun.

Mr.. w. j. CALHOUN, the special COM
missioner sent by Mr.. ROOSEVELT to
look into certain matters involving Amer
lean interests in Venezuela, Is reported
as being at work on the asphalt case.
Judge CALHOUN will break the record II
he gets out Of that mess unstained. Ec-
clesiasticus 10 not included among the
canonical books Of the Old Testament.
But there was stern wisdom in the mind
Of the sage who wrote, in chapter xiii,
verse I, Of that book: He that touch
eth pitch shall be defled.' II Judge
CALHOUN can wade through the affairs
of the exploiters Of the Bernudez Lake
and come out clean and give the world
the truth about the BUSINESS he will
deserve high place in national esteem,
AS we have already said, the matter
has now reached point whore tho United
States may perhaps be justified in taking
official notice of 1t. But even now II Ia
not to be handled roughly unless we are
prepared to 60 to extremes. It ia no
light matter to charge tho Supreme
Court Of friendly neighbor with in
justice or venality. We may be able
to smash or devour Mr.. CASTRO and all
his people, but we should be at least
hesitant to demand that the President
Of neighboring republic override de-
cision Of his highest judicial tribunal
simply because few Americans whose
hands at home are OF doubtful cleanli-
ness allege a financial injury and denial
of justice.
Such reports OF the evidence submitted
during the trial as We have yet seen show
contradictions which make 1t certain that
there must still be here on earth few
candidates for a residence in that lake
of fire and birthstone which is said to be
a heritage Of all liars. Testimony was
submitted in support Of the complaint
of the Attorney-Genera that General
FRANCIS v. GREENE, then the president OF
the National Asphalt Company, went to
Europe in 1901 and bought the steamer
Ban RICH for the Matos revolutionists
and paid for it by drafts on the New
York Office Of the company. This
charge seems to have been supported
by corroborative evidence. General
GREENEs reply is general though
somewhat eqivocal denial. Other tes-
timony was submitted to show other
forms Of material aid given by tho
agents and employees Of the asphalt
company to the revolutionists.
A few careful observers Of the Vehe-
zuelan situation have expressed. in per-
sonal conversation, their belief that Mr..
CALHoUN's mission IL to find some way
Of getting our hands entirely out Of the
asphalt case rather than way to get
them more deeply into it. II that be
the case, we wish the commissioner an
unstinted measure Of success in his en-
terprise.

CHARGED WITH BLACKMAIL.
Society Patrons Offer Services TO Prose.
cutting Attorney.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Three prominent
society persons have informed the district
attorneys office that If their services are
required they will appear complainants
against Charles E. Able of the Society
Editors Association, who yesterday was
held in S., 500 bail for the grand jury on a
charge of attempted blackmail lodged
against MIN by Edwin NJ. Post. a member
Of the New York stock exchange. This
announcement was made today by Assist
ant District Attorney Paul Krotel, who has
been assigned by District Attorney Jerome
to prosecute Able on Mr.. Posts COM
plant.
The allegation against Able Is that he at
tempted to coerce Post into subscribing for
book dealing with the New York society,
which was to be printed and sold to sub
scribers at $500 per copy. Mr.. Post alleges
that Able told him that scandalous story
involving his name, which was in the pos
session of a New York society publication,
would not be printed If he subscribed for
the book. At the time of Ahle's arrest the
police found list containing the names of
many persons prominent socially.
Opposite each name were figures repre-
senting sums ranging from $500 to $1,000.
Up to today Mr.. Post has stood alone as
complainant against Able, but now, accord
ing to Assistant District Attorney Krotel,
he is to be reinforced by two women and a
man Of the highest social standing, who are
ready to press complaints against the pris-
oner on the same grounds taken by Mr..
Post Mr.. Krotel explained, however, that
these offers were conditional. The persons
were ready to testify against AhIe he said,
only II guaranteed that no questions be
asked concerning the scandals which they
allege were mentioned when their subscrip-
tions were solicited.
Assistant District Attorney Krotel today
called upon Justice Deuel. of the city court,
who is q stockholder in the company which
