HOLD KIN FOR CRIME,

Coroner Causes Arrest in New Haven
Mystery.
New Haven. Conn, Jan. 5.-The in
quiry into the mysterious death of
Charles A. Edwards, the wealthy New
Yorker found dead with bullet hole
in his head at the home of his brother
the arrest of Allan Nlaxcy Hitler,
another brother-in-law at the order
of Coroner Mix. He was placed in the
lookup at police headquarters. The
coroner explained that Mr.. Hitler was
simply held without bail, as the in
quest was not completed.
This action was taken at the end OF
a five hours hearing at the coroner's
office. Mr.. Hitler was there when the
order was given to Detective Sergeant
Ward to take him to the police head
quarters. Erliss p. Arvine. counsel for
Mr.. Hitler. accompanied him to police
headquarters. The latter walked calm
ly to the station-house, but on reach
ing that place began to gesticulate
wildly and to talk irrationally. He APP
peared on the point of collapse from
mental and nervous strain undergone
by him during the last thirty-six
hours.
Families are Prominent.
A MaNcy Hitler is one of New Ha-
ven's best known men and is connect
ed by blood and marriage ties with
many of the aristocratic families in
Connecticut. The violent death of MIR.
Edwards, who married Mr. Killers on
ly sister, also comes equally close to
families which are intimately connec-
ted with the upbuilding of Yale uni
versity.
Mr. Hitler and his brother Charles
A. Hitler, with a former servant, Miss
Benzonas were called into the inquest
by Coroner Mix in the afternoon. For
five hours they were subjected to a
rigid examination The line of inquiry
was almost entirely into the affairs of
the Hitler family, centering upon the
reported trouble between A. Maxcy
Hitler his brother Charles and his sis
ter Mrs. Edwards, wife of the victim
of the shooting.
1t was determined by the autopsy
held during the afternoon that Mr. Ed
wards died from bullet wound which
could not have been self-inflicted.

The report was made by Anton A.

been referred a resolution declaring
that in the opinion of the chamber adj

the proper regulation of life insurance
companies and kindred organizations.
This committee has concluded that no
restrictive legislation can insure hon

these ends apparently no means have

A TWO CENT RATE.

If this Legislature does not take up
and handle the two cent per mile rate
the people should know the reason
why. The railroads sell 1000 mile
book for $50, with draw back of $40.
This draw back is explained by the
railways in various modes. To our
mind it has but one explanation, and
that is plain and jndefensibe mode
of swipeing. They get that extra $40
In many instances. When a railway
sells ticket is does not confer spec.
ial privilege, it simply sells to one per-
son the same thiug it sells to another
it invests the holder with a species of
property which Is his. When it sells a
ticket and charges 335 per cent. more
for it than it admits it should charge,
but treats the 335 per cent. as penal
ty, leaving the railroad to decide
whether the penalty should be enforc-
ed, that railway has committed an
outrage which should be brought to
an end at once by law. In this State
it should be declared that by the pur
chase of ticket the holder has specific
rights, and end an outrage The price
Of the ticket should be no more than
the admitted price, which is two cents
per mile, and such ticket should be
receivable by the company issuing it
for transportation or a refunding of the
price in the hands of any holder. This
is simple Justice, and the Legislature
should look to it that this wrong is
righted.

has touched on very sore spot With
the Government by Introducing a reso-
luton for investigating the deal by
which the old Custom House in New
York was sold to the National CITY
Bank eight years ago for mere song
and in virtue of which the government
has been paying rent ever since for the
old building. The Baak had never
paid out a cent for it and has lodged
the taxes on the property by letting the
deed still rest in the hands of the gov
eminent. This is not the first time
that this transaction has been brought
up, but it is an ever tende, subject aud
il forced this time to an investigation
is likely to uncover a pretty scandal.
1t will be remembered that the price
was ridiculously low in the irst place,
The property was sold to the ijapk for
81. 265 600 when experts valued it at
nearly SIG. 900, 900. 1t has been appre
eating In value every minute since
The Bank Is big depository of gov
eminent funds, and it paid for the
building simply by transferring the
purchase figures from one book to an
other without ever paving out cent
of real money. Even then it held back
$50, 900 of the purchase price. so that
the deed has never been recorded, the
result being that the bank mas never
had cent of taxes to pay on the pro-
perty. Meantime it has bee receiving
$3.50 900 a year rent for the building so
that by the time the new Custom
House is completed, which will still be
some years hence, it will about have
received the price of the building back
10 rent and will have the immensely
valuable plot of ground through a
process of high finance that it is diff
ficult for a common person to appre-
ciate. 1t will not have had to spend a
penny for it. A thorough investiga-
tion that would turn the light OF pub
licity on the whole transaction is to be
devoutly hoped for but scarcely to be
expected.

A SPLENDID IDEA.

The Legislature should not think of
giving our circuit courts only the poor
priv ilege of appointing the Commits
sioners Of the Revenue. This looks as
If we doubted the ability of these
courts. There are lots of officers these
courts might appoint. 1t is really a
delightful idea to contemplate, this
appointing power. We could save all
cost of elections, and the people could
stay at home on those days and thus
save thousands to the State. This nice
scheme could be worked. Let the
circuit judges appoint the members of
the Legislature and then the Legi sla-
ture give the circuit judges the power
to appoint all other officers. There
need then be no elections. no Qualifi-
cations for voters, except in National
affairs, and we would have such good
officers that every body would be happy.

NEW DEMOCRACY.

We believe it is the Early bill which
provides that our Commissioners of
the Revenue shall be appointed by the
circuit judges. We have had occasion
to mention this bill before. 1t is the
most un- Democratic measure we have
seen; 1t strikes down the fundamen-
tai principle of our government. Why
ASK for suca bill ? Is it because the
people of the county are not capable
OF selecting a Commissioner of the
Revenue3 Why may not our circuit
judges appoint members of the Legis-
lature, or sherlffs, or county clerks
IL the principle is right In one instance
why not right in all? The Legislature
elects the circuit judges. These are
generally the personal choice of the
members from the counties which com.
pose their district. Fitness, or the
wishes of the people cut but little fig
ure often In their selection. 1t has
been no unusual thing for men to be
placed on the bench In this State at the
behest OF mem bers of the Legislature
who could not command a decent vote
had they been elected by the voters of
their district. Now it Is proposed that
these judges who are really In very
many instances the appointees of the
members of the Legislature from their
districts, shall appoint the Commits.
