POWER OF CONGRESS UPHELD
To Make Rules for the Care OF Passenger
on The MaY Into Dur Ports.

That Congress has the power TO infics
punishment upon the master OF a foreign
vessel bringing passengers from a foreign
port into a port of the United States IL
he fails to provide what is considered herr
a sufficient number OF tables and chairs
at regular meals is the opinion of Judge
Thomas. handed down yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court in the case OF
the Government against Eugene Lavarrello,
commander of the steamer Citta di Napoli.
Lavarrello in his defence said that his
ship was an Italian vessel, with a commits
sioner especially appointed by the Italian
Government aboard to see hat all pro,
visions in re gard TO the tire stment and ao-
co~mmodation of h passengers were coms
Piled with. As this commissioner had
signified that the re gulations had been
complied with, he denies the right Of Cone
gress to punish him for the ale ged in-
sufficiency of accommodation.
Judge Thomas says there is no doubt Of
the power OF Congressto max penalan omis-
sion by a foreign officer to provide tables
and seats at ne OCULAR reals FOR p~asse ngera
bound to the United States and brought int3

In the October number OF the Canadian Mega

Immigrants who have come into Canada during
the last fiscal year. ~. 1O6 were men. and only
1913 were women. Thus $1,000 men without
wives entered the Dominion during the year. while
Its last census showed that already there were many
more males than females in the community; and
this discrepancy in the numerical balance OF the

The chances are that the majority OF young bachel-

whole families from the United States are taking

CarOlus TriumphatOr.

No happier statesman than the Hon.
CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS returns to
Washington. His summer and fall have
been full of cheerful yesterdays and
confident to-morrows. He has stalked
in triumph through many States. The
people have swirled and surged around
his tall and awful form. Several times
military rescue parties have had to pro-
tect him from being overlaid by the
crush and to carve out a passage to his
private car or automobile. If Missouri,
Kansas and Oklahoma have not chung to
the Republican standard with the te-
nacity TO be expected OF communities
blessed with the sight and sound of him,
the school children have been invariably
enthusiastic. He has been nominated
fox President in several Democratic
counties. He has affected and been
"visibly affected" by the eager multi
tudes. Tears have coursed down his
ivory cheek. In spite Of his just repu-
tation for funereal eloquence he can
unbend with all his longitude. He has
uttered repartees and witticisms such as
are followed in the Congressional Record
by the formula "[~Laughterl." He
shook hands firmly and expressively.
He mixed" with a bonhomie that sur
prised his warmest admirers. On polit-
ioal and ndn political occasions he was az
digniied as the Capitol and as genial"
as applejack. His accomplishments and
capabilities must be regarded in a new
light even by his rivals.
The most tignificant and yet the most
idyllic passage in all his victorious jour-
neys was thebeginning Of the now stall
wart Buttermilk Boom. As he moved
through JOE cANNoN's State in an auto
mobile the grand master of parliament

time before some farmhouse door, knock
gently and ask "the lady Of the house,

scratch; the pigs omitted their ordinary
erunt OF satisfaction for the passage Of
the meat law. All Nature smiled as Mr..

The later details of DIR. Cooks ascent OF
Mount Mckinley correct some errors in the
earlier reports n throw light on the soien-
tifc value OF his explorations in that region.
The ascent was made on the northeast and
not on the northwest side Of the mountain
Not only barometrio measurements were
made OF the height of Mount Mckinley, but
observations were also taken by triangulation
from twelve stations. 1t will require some
time 10 reduce these data, but the rough
preliminary calculations max the altitude
about 20,9OO feet, which is within so feet
OF BRooKs's computation Of the height Of
the mountain. The report published a few
weeks ago that DIR. Cook had found the
mountain to be %, 900 feet high was there
fore an exaggeration. The average re-
sulting from the reduction of Cooks tri-
angulation from twelve stations is not
likely to change more than so to 100 feet

tain Is about 20, 800 feet high.
The Topographic survey under the direo-

miles will most desirably improve the map

The Moody Nomination.

There seems 10 be little probability OF
an effective opposition TO the Hon. WILL
lam II. MOODY. whose nomination as a
member of the Supreme Court will soon
be taken into consideration by the United
States Senate. That il is not warmly
approved by the Senators of either party
ia no doubt true. Agreat many lawyers
In Congress are Of opinion that his pro-
fessional attachments do not warrant so
abrupt and lofty a promotion. Another
cause of discomfort consists in the fact
that the Supreme Bench already has a
member from Massachusetts, and from
this is drawn the conclusion that the
scheme of the court will be to that extent
baf1ed and impaired. Herein there is
no consideration of a distribution OF
patronage. The question is n simply
of strengthening and enlightening the
court. In dividing the country into
circuits the idea has been to provide
for each subdivision a Justice especially
familiar with the local laws, and there
fore especially competent TO pronounce
upon controversies go arising and so
affected. In this light the objection to
Mr.. MOODY is not at all personal. A
much higher principle is involved.
We rather expect a demonstration of
protest within these limits. IL will be
said that Mr.. MOODY has not been cast
in the mould of MARSHALL, TANEY, Mil
LER, BREWER and others Of that class.
We shall also hear the argument that
he is so identified with the great litiga-
tions likely to reach the Supreme Court
within the immediate future as to dis
qualify him for participation in the
courts deliberations. Furthermore, it
will be urged that the court cannot de-
rive any additional enlightenment from
Mr.. MOODY, since his peculiar circuit is
already covered by Mr.. Justice HOLMES.
But there is no organized antagonism to
Mr.. MOODY himself. II may be shown
that he can add neither strength nor
dignity Il the bench, and it is of course
susceptible of proof that a different ap-
pointment would have Injured to the well
fare Of distant communities, OF whose
peculiar conditions and needs Mr.. MOODY
cannot possibly have an intimate and
useful knowledge.
tt may safely be assumed, however,
that the nomination will go through"
The leaders Of the Senate are in no mood
at present to antagonize the President in
minor things.

questions OF social existence are neces-

PEARY MAKES BRIEF srOP HERE.
Says Pole VIII ne Discovered. ~ AZ All,
Through the Energy oT Men and Dogs.

Commander Robert f.. Peary, civil engi-
neer, United States Navy. who made an
unsuccessful effort to find the North Pole,
but got further north than any other asps-
rant for Arctic glory, arrived yesterday
morning from Boston, with Mrs. Peary.
Simeon Ford received Commander Peary
at the Grand MO Hotel without cracking
a single crystalline Joke.
The explorer was the guest of the hurnor-
ist only a few hours, a part of which tims
he gave TO a group of interviewers in tina
reading room of the hotel. He said hs
was disappointed in not reaching the Pole.
and that he believed he would nave arrived
there IL weather conditions had been az
favorable as on certain occasions when
other DISCOVERIES had attempted to reach
the goal. Balloons, aeroplanes, automobiles,
a~utoboats and quickly constructed rail-
roads, Commander Peary declared, prob
ably never would be successful in polar
exploration. Whatever WAS to be accom-
plished would be through the intelligence
and endurance Of men and the matchless
vigor Of the Esquimau dogs.
Commander Peary said he was not partial
to the theory Of drifting by ship TO the Pole
after forcing the ship into a favorable
position for the trip; there was too much
uncertainty about the scheme. and few men
could stand being IN mere plaything of the
elements for n period that might be three
or four years.
AS to what he expected to find should
he ever get to the Pole, Commander Pesry
said:
II believe there is nothing abnormal there.
I should not expect to find an ice cap, an
open sea or a hole in the earth. II seems n
me that the climate of the Pole will be pretty
much like that of b surrounding region.
and that the ice there will be about tina
same

The Concealment OF Arrests for Crime

A very surprising statement was made
by Deputy Police Commissioner MATHoT
on Monday in reference to the Caruso
case. we have records to show" he
is reported to have declared, that
q Bishop, several clergymen, lawyers,
musicians, actors, managers and others
have been guilty of committing the
same or similar offences in the parks
Of this city" When asked why the
records of these arrests had been sup
pressed the Deputy Commissioner said
that it was because the experience Of
the Police Department showed that
women would not appear in court as
complainants in cases OF this sort
except in very rare instances. and he
added: Experience has shown that 1t ia
better to keep these cases quiet and hold
over the heads OF the offenders the posi-
bility Of their infamy being made public
in the event Of their being hauled up a
second time on the offence
If these assertions are well founded il
would seem that a regular system pre-
walls, which could not exist without the
combined sanction OF the Police Depart
ment and the City Magistrates as a body,
of concealing from the public many of
the arrests which are made in this city
for those offences which may be gen.
orally classed. together under the head
of indecent behavior. Mr.. MATHoT at
tempts to justify this concealment on
the ground that 1t is the most effective
method of preventing a repetition of the
offence by holding the threat of exposure
i've the head Of the perpetrator. He
suggests that such offenders are best
prevented from wrongdoing the second
time by apprehension of the infamy
which they will suffer if the fact Of their
first offence is made public.
The objection to this course OF pro-
cedure is twofold: First, this preventive
method Of dealing with anticipated crime
has no warrant that we know of in the
law; and secondly, it is plainly liable to
the grossest abuse on the part Of the
police. If the police are at liberty to
conceal the fact that n man has been
arrested upon a criminal charge Of which
they believe him to be guilty in one class
Of cases, why are they not equally at
liberty to conceal the fact in any class
Of cases whatsoever? II is hardly to be
supposed, when we consider the facts
that are continually coming 10 light in
reference to the existence Of corruption
among the police, that they will always
exert this power of concealment for
~praiseworthy purposes. Indeed, it is
practically certain that il they are per-
mitted the exercise of any such discretion
as Deputy Police Commissioner MATHOT
seems to approve, such discretion will
often be exercised to the detriment of
the public interests rather than in further
ance Of them.
The policy Of ~concealing arrests as a
method of enforcing future good conduct
on the part of offenders against the laws
of decency had better be abandoned by
