TRUST OFFICIALS As WITNESSES.


The action of the United States dis
trict Judge in New York in the grand
jury investigation of rebates alleged
to have been granted by the Sugar
sign that the time has gone by when
corporation officials can successfully
refuse to produce In court the books
and records of their companies and to
testify fully from their knowledge re-
gsrding the same. It'is little short OF
revolutionary change so far as en-
forcement of law is concerned that the
general auditor OF one of the colossal
trusts is peremptorily given the alter
natives Of instant obedience or of be-
ing sent TO Jail for contempt
Such action is among the first fruits
OF the recent epoch-making decision OF
the United States supreme court in the
Tobacco trust case, wherein the immu-
nifty provision of the constitution,
which was long the bulwark OF trusts
and trust magnates against prosecu-
ton and publicity, was sweGUlngly
held not to apply TO corporation ON
GERS and employees as witnesses touch
ing corporation acts and as custodians
of corporation records and papers, al
though the giving of such testimony
could not be used in criminal proceed
ings against the witnesses themselves.
The practical result is that all the
transactions of the Sugar trust or any
other CORPORATE trade combination
charged with unlawful acts. whether
the evidence OF such acts be their
books and records or the testimony OF

WATER WORKS COMPLICATIONS.

That the Howell compulsory pur-
chase law has tangled Omaha up in a
maze of water works complications,
foreshadowed by The Bee at the start,
is now apparent even to those who up
to this time have wilfully shut their
eyes to the dangers and pitfalls which
that law opened up. Having pursued
the course required by the compulsory
purchase law up to the point of an APP
praisement at more than S6,00O,00O,
or nearly twice what the sponsors Of
compulsory purchase had led the peo-
pie to expect, the situation has become
so critical that the discovery of a way
out is practically imperative.
The Water board is continuing on
the theory that the water works is to
be acquired under the purchase clause
of the contract and has rejected the
finding of the appraisers and laid the
! foundation for securing a new APP
praisement upon the same plan.
| Against this the water company insists
that the appraisement already made is
has no right to reject it or to ask for
second appraisement. The conten-
ton of the water company is that it
has a complete right to a decree for
specific performance of the purchase
contract at the price fixed by the APP
praisers, and it remains for the courts
to adjudicate these conflicting claims.
In the meanwhile, a diversion is at
tempted by the suggestion that the city
abandon the idea of acquiring the pres
ent water plant and proceed to con-
struct an Independent water works of
it's own. OF course, if there were any
thing to be gained by building a new
plant instead of buying the one now
here, the city could and should have
set out in that direction in the first
place without wasting three years of
time and squandering from $50, 900 to
$4,000 on a needless appraisement,
unnecessary litigation and a salaried
Water board with no water works to
manage. The proposal to build an
other water plant at this time would
also run counter to the pending pro-
ceedings. The city has elected to buy
the existing plant under the purchase
clause and can doubtless be held to
that option, the only matter in dispute
being the question of price. To build
new water plant and then be COM
PEELED to buy the old one in addition
would be foolishness personified even
II legally practicable.
If the city can only get out of its
present dilemma, forced on it by the
vicious compulsory purchase law, 1t
would be free then to acquire the
water plant under its power of emf
nent domain, with a right to name all
the appraisers and accept or reject the
appraisement as it sees fit. This was
the course The Bee advised at the out
set, and it still offers the only feasible
, way to reach municipal ownership OF
our water works.

DEMOCRACY IN THE COLLEGES.
Eject of Education on True Ideals
of Equity.


Philadelphia Public Ledger.
1t has been suggested that the presence
of so many wealthy students in certain
American universities fosters the exclusive
spirit and endangers the democracy that
should be encouraged in our institutions
of learning President Hadley of Yale in
the current number Of Harper's Magazine,
in discussing the influence of wealth In
college life, observes that the increasing
number of rich students does not, under
present circumstances, constitute a serious
danger. There is enough vitality in our
college democracy" he says, ito take care
of rich boys and poor boys side by side,
and make them both useful citizens"
While President Hadley admits that 1t
is easier to maintain the democratic spirit
where everybody is doing the same thing
and nobody has much money, he points
out that the college world IL type of
the world without, where the rich and poor
exist together. and where each class has
its responsibilities He regards 1t as one
of the most hopeful signs of the under
graduate life that the students, and par
ticularly the wealthy students" are pre-
pairing for the assumption Of political re-
sponsibrities College studies, he thinks,
tend TO the establishment of a system
under which the man with money feels
that he holds it in trust for the public"
In this way the democratic spirit is main
tanned.
The universities and colleges Of the
country are probably doing more to en-
| courage a feeling of equality among intel
ligent young Americans than any other
| influence in our national life.

THE LATE COL DULANY.

As was stated in the Gazette OF that
day Col. R II. Dulsny, of Melbourne,
near Upperville, Loudoun county, died
very suddenly from appoplexy at his home
about 2 O'Clock yesterday. He was
alsni Confederate soldier and served
throughout the civil war as colonel OF
the Seventh Virginia Cavalry. He was
severely wounded at the battle of Gettys-
burg. Three children survive-Richard
DulaDy, jr., of Grafton Hall; Mrs.
Robert Neville, of Melbourne, and Mrs.
J. Soulhgate Lennon, Of Baltimore.
Colonel Dulany was one Of the most
prominent citizens of Northern Virginia.
He was Sc years of age, son of John
P. Dulany. He was descendant OF the
Dulsny family of Maryland, his great
grandfather having removed to Loudoun
county, Virginia, probably a century
ago. His father, John Peyton Dulany,
married Miss Mary Ann De Butts, who
was born 10 England, the daughter of
DR.. Samuel DE Butts and Mary Welby,
niece of Sir William Welby. of GranthaW,
Lincolnshire, England. Colonel Du-
lany's sister, Mary De Butts Dulany,
married George William Carlyle Whit
ing, OF Virginia, son of Colonel Dulany,
who himself married his cousin, Rebecca
Dulany, daughter of Major Rozier Du-
lsny, of the United States army.
Colonel Dulany was known as the
father of horse shows in this country.
On the old plantation he bred some OF
the finest hunters that ever galloped
after fox over the hills OF northern
Virginia. In the early 6fties 1t occurred
to him that if some of the other wealthy
horse-owners in Virginia we're to join
him in exhibiting their animals interest
would be stimulated in the breeding OF
foe horses. His plan was successful,
and Colonel DulsDy had the honor OF
holding the first American horse show
in Loudoun county, 1t attracted such
attention thst he held show every year
until the civil war. After the war he
again aroused interest in horse shows
and held successful exhibitions from year
TO year. The idea spread over the coun-
try and was adopted by the northern
cities, so that today nearly every large
city in this country has its annual horse
show.
Colonel Dulany was before the civil
war one of the largest owners Of slaves
in northern Virginia, and was noted for
his kind treatment of his Sc rvsnts. Sew
eral times he bought slaves for his own
plantation rather than see them sold out
of the county. When the war began
Colonel Dulsny entered the service with
Asbby in the Sixth Virginia Cavalry.
Later he was made colonel OF the Sew
eulh Virginia Cavalry and served under
Wade Hampton. He was wounded fiye
or sixth times in battles, but notwith-
standing this, to the end OF bis life be
was remarkably active man.
Although he took al active interest IN
politics, Colonel Dulany never was
candidate, though Often urged to accept
political Office.
