A Communication.

Editor Herald: In your paper of
March 81 l notice few statements
in reference to E. V. Debs With your
kind permission l desire to reply
briefly in your excellent paper.
You know that the best doctors
differ in diagnosing a severe case, as
we'll as in applying an effective
remedy. Men NAV see the same
thing, yet different in the essentials.
Both may be right from their point
of view AS regards the morality of
Debs in his TRADE against the officers
Idaho against the suspected assassins
of the late Governor Steunenberg;
is there such thing as morality in
the question? Do these so-called Of
ficers act consistently and morally
within the bounds of the law? Law
is standard, a rule of action. You
know that those officers are violators
Of the law, that they are above the
law and are logically anarchists. Is
not Debs acting morally and law
fully in seeking justice for innocent
men and comrades whom he we'll
knows?
Debs has said nothing more i'm
moral than others may say under
such conditions. You say the people
will determine the justification of
his remarks about his intention to
precipitate a revolution. Most GER
tainly they will. Should there not
be a revolution? Is it not time for
patriots like Debs to awake the
sleepers and instruct the ignorant in
order to defend innocent men from
injustice and Pinkerton thugs? Pa
tience ceases to be virtue.
Why not the spirit of our fathers
inspire every heart to demand JUS
tice. Debs was innocently thrown
into Jail. His conspirators for six
months acted the part OF blood
hounds with their tails cut off, and
could prove nothing against him.
Their evidence would have con-
demned themselves.
He knows the history of the Hay
market and the atrocities Of the Molly

TO DAM POMPTON RIVER.
Flood Commission Recommends Huge
storage Reservoir

PATERSON, Dec. 28.-The Passaic River
Flood District Commission, appointed a
year ago to formulate plan to prevent
foods in the Passaic Valley, in handing in
its report 10 Gov. Stokes to-day recon-
mends the erection of an immense dam
across the Pompton River at Mountain
View and the flooding Of the Pompton
basin. 1t is the belief of the commission
that storage Of water will regulate the flow
OF the Passaic to such an extent that there
will be no more destructive foods.
II is estimated that the cost of the i'm
provement will be So, $50 600. The commits
sion urges the immediate construction OF
the dam, and says that the controlling
works recommended by the commission
will provide an enormous storage CAPACITY
at an expense considerably less than any
equivalent storage project yet attempted
upon the American continent.
The reservoir will be OF sufficient capacity
10 allow a flow of SO, ,OO0, 900 gallons of water
in the Passaic River daily and still supply
300 600 900 gallons Of water daily.
II the Legislature decides 70 act favorably
upon the report Of the commission the New
York and Greenwood Lake and the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western railroads
at Mountain View will have TO rebuild their
tracks, as at present they run through the
proposed reservoir section.

Organizer Herman Robinson Of theAmerican
Federation Of Labor, who is at the head of
this movement, said last night that no

join the proposed union.
1T In too soon" he said, -to make pre-
diCtions as 20 what success we may have
in Brooklyn and l am not at liberty TO say

Interbo rough employees, outside of the
members Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, who lost their charter because
their last strike was unauthorized by the
Grand Chief, were organized in the same
way. When the first meeting was called
to form permanent organization in March,

just inside the window of one OF the branch
offices at 100 Broadway. The bullet passed
through Browns body, smashed a large
plate glass window and lodged in a truck
that stood at the curb There is not much
hope Of Browns recovery.
Brown, who is a tall, good looking man
about As years old was still conscious when
a number Of men from the street gathered
around him. He refused at first to speak
of the cause of the attempted suicide.

The wounded man, technically under ar
rest, was guarded all day by Policeman
Harrington.
Policeman Harrington said he understood
Brown to say shortly after he was taken
20 the hospital that he had shot himself be-
cause he had been drinking heavily of late.
To DR. Rubin, however, Brown said that he
had been driven to the attempt on his life
because relatives had accused him of heavy
drinking when he was innocent, and he
limited at other domestic troubles.
Mr.. Brown has been a trusted en-
plOyee in a responsible position for many
years. said Agent Dietz Of the main
Offices of the express company. -We
can give no explanation of his action-it
came TO us like thunderclap. His ac-
counts are absolutely straight and I've
never known him 10 drink 10 excess"
Only few cents and a watch were found
in Browns pockets. DR.. Rubin said last
night that the wounded man was very low,
and that there was not much chance of his
recovery. II he does get over the gunshot
wound, said DIR. Rubin, lung troubles will
