over the greatest country the sun ever
shone on. What if the explosions do
lar you occasionally. What If you
We're awakened at the dawn's early
light by the Internal din of the small
boys noise producers, This is the
birthday anniversary of your country,
man, and you ought to be willing to
put up with a few discomforts. If
there had not been a handful of big
brave. patriotic men in Faneuil hall in
Philadelphia to pass the Declaration of
independence a hundred and thirty-one
years ago today, the worlds history
would have been different
Some of our methods of celebrating
the anniversary seem foolish. The
man that makes the Ioudest noise isn't
always the truest patriot, and the
blowing off of a finger or two by the
small boy does not necessarily indicate
that the boy loves his country any
more than the boy that escapes I'M
scathed. These are only minor details
in the general hurrah Every individ-
ual has the inalienable right to cele-
brate according to his individual
rights, as long as he does not trans
gress the law. We may not say him
nay in anything until he renders him
self amenable to the statutes in such
case made and provided.
And we hope everybody will find
time to celebrate in some fashion this,
the greatest anniversary in American
history Do you ever stop to think of
the courage the passage of the Declar-
alton of independence involved? The
men who passed and signed it placed
their heads within the jaws of the Brit

jority of them believed in their hearts
that the colonists could win the fight
into which the Declaration inevitably
plunged them. But they were willing
TO sacrifice themselves for their prin-
ciples.
They believed in and were willing TO
do battle, even with the champion of
champions, for the cause of liberty
and equality before the law. If their
cause had not been just they could
never have won the conflict that fol-
lowed. For unTighteOus principles they
would never have had the courage to
suffer as they did suffer. And we who
have reaped so richly from their SOW

their memory.

Upon the foundation stones that were

HTHE THIRD DEGREE"

The grand jury of Queens county,
New York. refused the other dav 10
indict Harry Becker for murder, not
withstanding the fact that he had con-
fessed his guilt to the police The in
dictment was refused because the
grand jury learned that Becker had
been given what is known in police
parlance as the third degree" That
is, he had been tortured by the officers
of the peace until he was ready to con-
fess almost anything they wanted him
to confess. Therefore, his statement
that he was guilty was regarded bv
the grand jury, and properly so. as
without value.
The process of Sweating" confess
sions out of prisoners has grown TO be
an intolerable cffense in this country.
Supposed criminals are subjected to
cruelties that should not be possible in
an enlightened country. The law of
the land presumes a defendant to be
innocent until he has been proven
guilty. The moment man is arrested
or even suspected Of the commission of
a crime, the police regard him as guilty
and determine their subsequent pro-

ceedings toward him, prior to the trial,
On that theory.
The suspect under arrest is given no
whatever to rest until aft
er a confession" has been Wrung
from him One pleasant little system
of ten or fifteen minutes throughout
the night and to keep him awake all
day. He is absolutely at the mercy of
the police. Every time he is wakened
other. fired into him with relentless de-
termination to bring out fatal ad-
mission. Anybody who knows what 1t
is to lie down to sleep and then be
aroused time and again through the
night. knows that for the sake of a
few hours of uninterrupted repose one
would be willing to tell any story to
escape the torment.
Prisoners are frequently treated bru-
tally in other ways. They are placed
in dark cells on bread and water and
held there incommunicado; sometimes
they are beaten. And this, mind you,
not by way of punishment, for police
men have no power to punish a Grim
inal. but merely because the man in
their hands, sthOugh he may be abso-
lutely innocent, refuses to satisfy the
police with an admission of guilt. The
evil is one that should be stopped. In
no other country in the world except
Russia, as far as our information goes,
is the practice permitted.
In England it is the duty of the po-
lice to warn the prisoner that anything
he says may be used against him. The
same rule prevails In France and Ger
many. In those countries the third
degree" is as out of date as the rack,
the thumb screw and the stake. 1t
should be equally out of date here.

THE WOMAN WHO REMEMBERED

Perhaps a hundred people owe their
the presence of mind of a woman. If
Mrs. Olson had not remembered that a
Lagoon train was due near the scene
of the powder explosion Tuesday after
noon, great loss of. life would almost
certainly have resulted. While men in
the neighborhOOd of the burning cars
of powder thought only of their own
safety, while they ran, panic-stricken,
in every direction. this woman remem-
bered the Lagoon train. Down the
track she ran, frantically waving her
white apron as a signal to the engineer
to stop. Just in time the signal was
seen and disaster that would have
shocked the community from end to
end, that would have brought mourn
ing into many homes. was averted.
The Herald hastens to pay tribute
to the woman who remembered. Our
story of the affair says that her Eng
in making the engineer understand
why she had stopped the train. OF for
eign birth, in a land that is strange to
her, she has won here a home that will
always be hers. a home in the hearts
of her adopted countrymen. When the
crisis came she was equal to 1t. We
wish there were more like Mrs. Olson.
All honor to her, and may her act of
uuSaIfiSh hprOiSp1 he an iDSpiratfop opd
an example to every one of us.

MATTOON'S APPEAL
Asks Deposiiors Not 10 Demand
 interest on Their Money.

Burton H. Mattoon, former cashier of the defunct Watertown Savings bank, issued a circular yesterday to the depositors of the bank asking clemency for his mother, Mrs H. J. Mattoon. A blank form was enclosed asking each claimant of the bank to release his demand for the interest due him in order that something may be left the cashier to make easy the declining days of his mother, and of his wife, whose all is almost gone in the demands to settle Mattoons de- falcations.
 In this circular Mattoon says that the recipient has been paid his deposit but not his interest and that the re- ceiver of the bank has on hand about $3,4OO in cash and in mortgages $2,- 733 and also judgment against Mattoon and his bondsmen amount ing to about $13,000. This last claim has been reduced by selling property belonging to Mattoon and his wife. To pay the balance, how ONCl IL hlcS DC hCCCoSdly IO Idht Mattoon's mother the homestead and other property that is liable under his bond
 After a very strong appeal for mercy and compassion, Mattoon states figures, showing how much each de- positor may receive if expenses are kept to within certain other figures, and then he tells each depositor if he wishes to assign his claim against the bank to make it over to Mrs H. J. Mattoon, his mother, or his wife, land thus be as merciful as man can be in this unfortunate affair."" The cir cular bears the signatures of Hon Cornelius Tracy, Waterbury; Hon Thomas D. Bradstreet, Thomaston, Hon Howard M. Hickox, Watertown, and Hon James W. Flynn, Bethle- hem.
 The circular caused considerable excitement in the village.

BULLET, FOR VAZZANNI
Waterbury Keeping Up Record
 For Shooting AilrsyS.

The deadly Black Hand society tried to add another victim last even- ing to it's already long list when Demetrio Maesano sent a bullet through the left lung of Guiseppi Vazzanni of Mill street. Vazzanni was in his home when his assailant entered and pressing the gun almost to his breast fired the shot which went with such force that it did not stay embedded in the wounded man S body but went clear through him. The injured man is at the Waterbury hospital in critical condition and the detective department would be pleased to know where the would be- murderer is.
 Vazzanni, who is 50 years of age, is said to have come to this country a few years ago to escape the ven- geance of the Black Hand with whom he had trouble. He entered the en- ploy of the Waterbury Lumber and Coal company and was steady worker.
 About a year ago Maesano became acquainted with Vazzanni and asked if he might be allowed to board with him on Mill street. Vazzanni consent ed to take him as a boarder and ap- parently the two got along very well although Vazzanni's wife never liked the new boarder.
 The men did not quarrel at any time consequently when Maesano rushed into the kitchen last evening where Vazzanni was sitting with his family, pulled a 3S caliber pistol and attempted to take the life of the man who had befriended him, there was great excitement. Vazzanni fell back with groan while Maesano i'm mediately made his escape although there was a number of people in the house at the time. The police were notified and medical aid was summon ed. Dr P. J. Dwyer and Medical Ex- aminer Crane found the wound was likely to prove fatal so an ante mor- tenn statement was taken by Walter D. Makepeace, deputy coroner De- tective Thomas Colesanto in con- pdHy Wllu DeleCIlNe hennaugn talked at length with the injured man. Vaz- zanni said it was Maesano who had shot him but for what reason he did not know unless it was the quarrel he had with the Black Hand at home a few years ago. He had been warn ed only recently that unless he com piled with the requests of the society he would have to pay the penalty. Although Vazzanni at first did not wish to go to the hospital, he later when his condition became alarm ing consented to be taken there.
 Maesano is said to be 23 years of age, is very dark with black curly hair, is about five feet two inches in height and weighs about 40 pounds.
