EDITOR IS FREE
German Newspaperman Was Sued For Defamation of
 Character By Count z
A SENSATIONAL CASE

Berlin, Oct 29.-Maximlllen liar 'den, editor of Die Zununft, was ac- quitted to-day in the suit brought against him for defamation of char acter by General Count Kuno Won Moltke, formerly military governor of Berlin. In addition, General Won Moltke was condemned to bear the costs of the trial.
 The trial, which began October 23, attracted the greatest interest throughout Germany. Counsel for Herr Harden charged that the court clique of which Von Moltke was a member was guilty of infamous prac- tices and also had sought to exercise undue influence over Emperor Will liam. The names of Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg, eX-ambassador to VI enna, and Lieutenant-General Will liam Von Hohenau, one of the en- peror's adjutants, were mentioned Dy Herr Harden as being members of the clique referred to as the round table," and an army officer who had served in the guard corps at Potsdam testified to having taken part in orgies at the house of Major Count Lynar, which had resulted in the dis missal from the service in disgrace of the count and Lieutenant-General Von Hohenau. Von Moltke denied that such a clique as the round table" could exist and also denied the other charges brought against him. Herr Harden declined to with draw anything he had written on the subject, but said he did not accuse Von Moltke of crime.
 Justice Kern, the presiding judge, to-day made the verdict as easy for Von Moltke as was consistent with the conclusions arrived at. He said Herr Harden was justified in what he had written, but that there was no evidence that Won Moltke had at any time acted upon abnormal in clinations or that he knew what took place at Major Count Lynar's villa or of Lieutenant-General Hohenau's behavior.
 Herr Harden, when the verdict was announced, was cheered by the spectators present in court and by the large crowd of people waiting in the rain outside. Won Moltke heard the verdict with impassive- ness.
 The trial is already having con siderable political effect. One hun dred and forty socialist daily news papers are attacking the monarchial principle with studied fury, mock ing, sneering savagely, and assailing the exotic conditions which have been described as "hourishing in the hot-house atmosphere of the court" where the sovereign is surrounded, the socialists claim, with compan- ions and councillors, the corruption of whose private lives taints their judgment on home and foreign ques- tions.
 The newspapers, regardless of party affiliations, printed full ac- counts of the proceedings and some | of the influential liberal papers, like | the Frankfurter Zeitung. affirm that | it is evident that in the Moroccan controversy with France, Germany 1 followed two policies, that of the for | eign office and that of the sovereign, the latter being attributed to Prince | Zu Eulenburg's influence. working | independently of his majesty's con stitutional advisers.

A CASE OF TAKING
THE MEASURE
Of |hF|h|TY

New York, May 2-In an interesting
article in recent issue the Wall Street
journal stated that the state corporation
commission OF Virginia has issued an ex-
traordinary opinion in defence OF it's ac-
ton In prescribing a maximum passenger
rate at cents "A mile for most OF the
railroads In Virginia. The commission Is
TO be commended for the wide scope OF
It's inquiry and the frankness Of its dis
cussion.
Its conclusions, however, are open TO
severe criticism. and IL is not surprising
that the railroads intend TO make Wig
orous protest.
The commission goes into the matter
or railroad valuation at some length. 1t
says that IL knows OF no more reliable
method OF ascertainlng railroad valuation
than to give consideration TO the follow
1. The original cost OF property so far
2. The amount of the capital and the
bonded debt OF the company.
8. The market value Of stocks and
bonds.
4. The cost OF reproducing tho property
s. The. cost OF reproducing the property
In its present condition, so far as IL is
shown.
property for purpose OF taxation.
7. The personal knowledge OF the prop
erty by the commission.
The commission says that the most un-
IeUdDie anu UllsledulnS OF all l.itSe lntln-
DDS OF ascertaining value is that of the
market value OF the stocks and bonds.
There Is no more unreliable or mislead-
ing statement made In the whole report
OF the corporation commission than this.
IL there Is any better way of ascertaining
value than by the market quotation, then
the mind OF man has failed to discover
IT, The market price is accepted as the
guide of value OF most other kinds Of
property. and why not the railroad prop
erty? The commission claims that the
market value is constantly fiuctuating, Is
readily and often manipulated and de-
pends much more upon the earning ca
pacity than upon the value of the prop
erty employed.
The market price does indeed fluctuate
from day to day, and is at times unques-
tionably subject 10 manipulation, and yet
the average market price over period
long enough 10 remove the element of
manipulation. is unquestionably the near
est approach TO ascertaining actual value
than anything else that can be devised.
In a market as wide as that of the New
York stock exchange the value there
fixed amounts practically to an appraise-
ment OF property by S5,000O0O OF people.
Such an appraisement must be OF higher
value than any appraisement made by
board OF railroad commissioners, how
ever expert and painstaking they may be.
II is a d-blooded appraisement. III Is
uninfiuenced by sentiment or by faVorit-
ism or by politics. IL is an appraisement
by people who pay for what they buy.
There is no better board or appralse-
ment in the world than the New York
stock exchange. When we reject It's YER
dict and attempt to ascertain value upon
a method of our own, we are attempting
practically TO measure infinity In vessel
no bigger than q human skull.
