The flake stand at distilery broke

gallons of whisky was lost. 1t made

Farmers living along the banks of
the stream later noticed hundreds of

The farmers caught them by the

The fish had become intoxicated.
The loss to the distillery will reach

THE INSURANCE INDICTMENTS.

The presentment which the grand jury handed
In with its indictments of the insurance officials
shows how little the average good sense of the
community has been misled by incesSant and
extravagant denunclation In that presentment
spoke public opinion. The grand jury records
its conviction that the defendants "were solely
Influenced by desire to benefit the policyhold-
"ers OF the New York Life Insurance Company,
there having been no personal profit to the de-
PENDANTS from their acts, but, the contrary, a
large pecuniary benefit to the pOlicyhOlders. In
a word, the life insurance men did what they
did because they thought IT was good business,
and because they thought, under the loose code
of commercial morals, that it proper busi-
ness. 1t a mistaken, indeed it was NOR
ally Obtuse. judgment, but 1t falls far short Of
what the average man regards a crime We
do not mean TO justify the actions of the old
regime in the insurance world. They merited
and they have received public condemnation, and
there is good reason to hope that the new re-
qurementS Of law and the pressure Of an en-
lightened public sentiment will prevent their
recurrence.
The preSentment comes near making farce
Of the indictment The grand jury protests
against its own action. as being in accord with
law but not with justice 1t felt constrained"
20 bring an Indictment The trial turies-if the
cases ever come to trial-will in all probability
be, as petit juries always are. even less ready
10 convict than the grand jury was to indiCt
We cannot see any public advantage likely to
accrue from an Indictment procured after this
fashion by prOdigiOus effort The public prose
cutor has been mercilessly criticised because he
has encountered even greater reluctance on the
part Of previous grand juries TO indict for sim
liar acts, which to their minds were morally
but not criminally wrong. The agitation has
been kept up unremittingy. until now we have
the formal declaration of a grand jury that 1t
believes the defendants not guilty of any
real crime. but that IT indicted them because of
the District Attorneys instructions that they
had technically broken law. We do not believe
that the majesty Of the law is vindicated by
pounding grand jury into bringing an indict-
ment, especially when the grand jury accom-
panies that Indictment with a protest which
takes the meaning out of ii.
New-York tribune., 1906-12-29
THE SVRWAY IOOp

The scheme which Mr.. Mcdonald has offered
to the Rapid Transit Commission for BrookIyn's
benefit differs essentially from the one to which
1t Is to be considered as an alternative The
pair of bridges which would be utilized in the
proposed system would include the vet unfinished
structure at the foot OF Canal street. and not the
old one which has been In service nearly twen-
ty-hve years. The plan includes not only a
short underground loop on this side of the East
River. but also a rather extensive circuit below
the surface in Brooklyn. Finally, from the loon
IN Manhattan spur would reach southwark 10
wall street so that passengers whose destina-
uon was the extreme lower East Side would
not be obliged to walk any considerable distance
after their arrival In Manhattan, as they must
do now
The most obvious feature Of the Mcdonald
project is that it could not under any possible
circumstances mitigate the situation at the Man.
hattan end Of the old Brooklyn Bridge for at
least three years, and there is no telling how
much longer Brooklyn people would be kent
waiting for relief. Though that portion of the
proposed subway lying entirely in Manhattan
were finished in two years. the completion of the
Manhattan Bridge is essential TO the working OF
the plan under consideration, whereas Mr. Rice
thlhkS mat the construction Of an elevated road
connecting the Brooklyn and the williamsburg
bridges would not require more than a wear.
AAS prospect ol Il Oeiay several times long
before any appreciable amount Of traffic can he
diverted from the routes which now concentrate
at the Sands street end OF the old bridge Is dis
tresslng, 10 say the least. BY marvellous good
fortune serious disaster from overcrowding at
the Park Row station during rush hours has
mus far been averted but the worst fears which
have been excited by the existing danger at the
Manhattan terminal may be realized any day
The calamity which occurred on the bridge only
few days after it was put at the service of the
public in 1883. may yet be- eclpsed by one due
10 other causes. 1t could not be truthfully as
serted that the peril was not fOreseen
There Is force in the objection offered bv Mr.
Metz To the expenditure OF 100000 or 1000
600 for the purchase Of a right OF way under
private property in Brooklyn. The ostensibIe
reason for the investment is that if the subway
follows the streets after leaving Bedford ave-
nue. two sharp turns would be requisite I'm order
10 reach the Williamsburg Bridge But that
difficulty could be avoided by a slight change or
route If the subway left Lafayette avenue at
TOnlpkins avenue, instead OF at Bedford, a con
tinuatiOn under Harrison avenue would be
feasible. and in that manper access to the
