him. and on examining his papers found
him to be an officer OF the French terri

Effect of the Beef Trust Case.

The surprising decision in the case
against the packers has aroused
much speculation as to It's effect on
future prosecutions by the Depart
ment of Justice. incidentally. 1t
has raised doubt as TO the functions
which can be effectively performed
by the Bureau OF Corporations and
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission-provided the decision is
sustained on appeal, or in other
cases. The great question is this:
Can the inquisitor and the prose-
cutor work side by side in the Gov
ernment?
Before attempting to answer this
question il is well 10 clear up any
misapprehension existing concerning
the connection of the Bureau Of Cor
porations with the case. Judge
Humphrey released the individual
defendants from prosecution, but
held the corporation liable to pun
ishment There was no contention
that the Department of Justice
benefited by the information secured
by Mr.. Garfield No argument was
made by defendants counsel that the
Commissioner of Corporations had
promised them immunity. The coun-
sci disavowed any claim that the
Government. or any of its agents.
acted in bad faith. Nevertheless.
the judge held that, under the i'm
munity clause of the act creating the
Bureau of Corporations. the indi-
vidual defendants were exempt from
prosecution simply because they had
disclosed information to an officer
OF the Government who could have
compelled the giving of testimony.
In other words, it is not necessary
that the Bureau Of Corporations. or
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, for that matter, should put a
witness under oath; or that he
should claim immunity. If he testi-
fies voluntarily immunity flows 70
him.
Now the question. Provided Judge
Humphreys decision is good law.
great care must be exercised by both
the Bureau Of Corporations and the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
their Investigations Witnesses call
ed by either the bureau or the COM
mission will be entitled to individual
immunity in any subsequent pro-
ceedings brought in court by the
Department of Justice.
Hereafter the Commissioner nf
Corporations, also the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners, must an
proach any inquiry with caution and
with rare judgment. In fact if
there appears to be any likelihood
OF future action by the Attorney
General it would be well (and the
Interstate Commerce Commission
follows this praetice) for the respec-
tive commissioners to consult freely
with the law officer Of the Govern
ment and seek information from no
witness whom the Department of
Justice may put on the black list
Publicity is one remedy; prosecu-
ton another. Publicity should not
be permitted to defeat the ends of
justice.

Saving Sl33,OOO of S29S,OOO.

The Natior al Government is max
ing progress. A few more broad
steps like that recently taken by the
President as to printing for the
executive departments and that
recommended to Con3 tess yesterday
by the Printing Investigation Com
mission will reduce Tar the annual
cost of the nations Office force.
II will be remembered that the first
effective saving in the outlay for
printing was accomplished in the
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The head of that bureau inherited an
annual printing allowance of $780,
600. Out of il, IN single year, he
was able to save $4,000, and he did
so by adopting the simple means of
having his departmental copy"
edited before it reached the Public
Printer. There are nine departments
II each of the others is able to do
only half so much the aggregate
saving is 100000, the greater part
of s1,000,000. AS the President was
quick TO impose upon the whole
service the methods adopted by the
department of Commerce and Labor
that economy is fairly in sight.
The second step concerns Congress
chiefly, and is reported TO Congress
by Congressman. How much of a
saving it will accomplish when
adopted is now uncertain. But it is
sure 10 be considerably more than
$1,000, 900 a session. What is pro-
posed is simply that instead of hav-
ing the Government Printing Office
print, as Is nov the practice, the
whole number of public documents
authorized by Congress and wasting
all that are not used by Congress
men, only such a number shall be
printed as is needed to meet the first
demand, and that subsequent de-
mands shall be met by subsequent
editions.
Instances of the saving which may
thus be effected are cited in the
commissions report. For examples,
s1l,60S might have been saved from
the $63,24S spent on the report of the
Commissioner of Education; $3,17S
out of the s12,O32 spent on the re-
port of the Geological Survey; $685.
045 out of the s1O0,S62 spent on the
special report on diseases of the
horse; s75,115 out of the 1922, 1923
spent on the bound edition of the
Congressional Record These are
examples merely Yet they repre-
sent the waste of S152,946 out of
s29S, ,465.
Not less than $1,000, 900 a year,
therefore, is being wasted on extrav-
agant printing alone. No wonder
Congress has felt that it need not
grow alarmed over the throwing
away of half million year on
rented buildings for the depart
ments. And this is only part of
the story as to printing Practically
all the departments are duplicating
their own publications. A change of
tables here. a new introduction there,
the mere desire to seem busy some
where else. means the reprinting of
whole pamphlets, where supplements
in the form Of leaflets would serve
every purpose.
When the Government has cut off
the printing waste in all its branches
it will have made progress indeed.

MAY ESCAPE GALLoWs.
Slayer of Hornsby Is Held for Rob-
berry in Mexico.

San Antonio, Texas. July 19.-Mar
celina Lossana, wanted in Travis
county for the murder of ex-Sheriff
Hornsby about four years ago, seems
in a fair way to escape the gallows in
Texas.
But in case he does he will merely
escape the rope for long term in the
salt mines of Mexico.
Lossana is now in Jail in Monte
rey on a charge of murder ana the
government refused to turn him over
to Sheriff Matthews when he went to
that city few days ago. The author
tiles want. to try him on the robbery
charge. The matter of his extradi-
ton will be taken up with the state
department at Washington.
After escaping from the Travis
county Jail, where he was held for the
Hornsby murder, Lossana went to
Mexico and joined the Cara band on
the border He was captured and
served ten years in the slate mines.
He again faces that or a hanging SEN
tence in Texas.
