Il CRITIC CRITICISED.

Ii may be remarked incidentally that
the Baton Rouge State, in an issue OF
recent date, criticised the newspaper
fraternity. of Philadelphia for having ex-
GUIDED from publicity millionaire,
whose name at this time we can not re-
call, but who was guilty of gross mis-
conduct and suicided. By the same
token The State and the other newspa-
pers Of Baton Rouge may be criticised
for having neglected all references TO
the action of the grand jury III the Fav-
rot murder investigation. The news
raper fraternity of Philadelphia appar-
emily suppressed the niillionaire's dis
graceful acts because perhaps he was
influential and powerful 1t is TO be re-
gretted that any newspaper should yiele
to such difference. I'm the discharge Of
its obligation to the people the news
paper should be fair and fearless, ai1e
the rule applied to the individual with
out means or influence should govern
when the offender is one of the iippei

RIVER IMPROVEMENT

Gradually the people of the Satte are
coming to realize that its waterways are
susceptible to improvement, and that
navigation is means Of gelief from
high freight rates.AWebx Signal
If for instance, Dallas, Texas, had
Red river its citizens would rally with
a million of dollars for its improvement
The Importance of the inter-waterway is
recognized by the peoples representa-
tives in Congress, among whom we may
mention Congressman Watkins. The
navigation Of Red river to its fullest
limit would benefit Shreveport beyond
all possible conservative estimates.

THE GRAND Jury.

The grand jury resumed their session
this morning but submitted no report as
anticipated. A number of witnesses
from the upper wards Of the parish are
in attendance. It is coniectured that
these have some knowledge of what is
styled boot-legging. AT any rate, when
released from the grand jury they may
be surprised in the realization that they
did know So much, or rather surprised
how they were developed BY the grand
jury.

LITTLE DANGER OF CONVIC-
TION OF THE PRISONER.
ACQUITTAL OR HUNG JURY
SO Says Editor DeLeon, Who Is From
the Scene of the Prosecutors
Hoped That Mob Would Take
Them Out and Lynch Them.

New Orleans States: The conviction
of William D. Haywood and his COM
panions is out of the question. The
worst that can happen will be hung
jury with the majority for acquittal, and
that will mean the release of the men.
This statement was made to a report
er of this paper this forenoon by Daniel
DeLeon. editor of the New York Daily
People, the official organ of the Socialist
Labor party, and one of the leaders OF
the Industrial Workers of the World,
the national organization with which the
Westernr Federation of Miners is afhl-
lated He is i'll the city to deliver two
lectures and was in Boise, Idaho, the
scene of the trial of the assuced miners,
on April 2L While there he had inter-
views with the miners attorneys and
when asked his opinion on the possible
outcome Of the case he made the above
statement.
The community in Boise and in fact
in the whole section of the country in
which the murder of Steunenberg oc-
Cured, believes that itswaS never the
intention Of the officials to hang these
men legally continued Hr. DeLeon. 1T
was the intention of the officials who
were owned body and soul by the mine
owners, to stir UP such feeling III Cald-
well, where the miners were FIST con-
fined, that the community would storm
the Jail and take the accused men out
and lynch them j They did not antici-
pate such storm of protest as innne-
diately arose from the working class. s.
The officials had been misled by this
man Mcfarland, who succeeding in
having innocent men hung in the case
of the Molly McGuires in 1877, Nc
Phariand thought that he was still in
1877 He forgot that it was thirty years
later and that times had changed con-
siderably. Neither he nor the officials
figured on the storm of protest which
swept over the country If the men
were lynclred that would have rid the
government of proving its case against
the men and the whole matter would be
dropped.
However, things have turned out
very differently and they are now con-
fronted with the task of proving their
case. This they can not do, as all who
are conversant with the, facts know, and
consequently the conspiracy will col
lapse.
AS for Harry Orchard, upon whose
confession the arrests were made, every
body i'll Boise knows that he is crazy
Hills confession and testimony will bt
practically worthless to the prosecution.

PIPING GAS OUT OF THE STATE


A number of citizens prominent i'll
commercial pursuits view with some an
tagonism the piping Of gas out Of this
State. In argument it is held that if
gas is piped to Marshall, Texas, to Tex
arkana and other points this will operate
against the interest of Shreveport whose
efforts are being directed toward diver
sif1ed industries If MarsllallSis supplied
with gas at low rates, there will be no
need of any plant in Marshall moving
to Shreveport, and this reasoning ap-
plies forcefully to all points beyond this
State.
On the side of the gas men the .argu-
ment may be that it is simply a question
of disposing of their holding, which, as
a railroad, should go in any direction
where there is demand for the supply
they have for sale.
From sense of equity the argument
of the gas men is logical and could not
be controverted Yet, indirectly, the
piping of gas to points rivalling with
Shreveport in diversified manufacturing
industries must have an undesirable ef
feet on this community.
There is offered all offset which may
be effective in offering to individuals
seeking the best facilities and advant-
ages, the most important being suitable
sites, at the most reasonable and lowest
prices.

REUNION THEN A FUNERAL THREE BROTHERS MET Charles Cameron, Who Died Sunday, Youngest of
 Three.

The funeral service of Charles D. Cameron who was famous the country over as one of the first men to train and drive horses on a circus band wal- gon and who was for many years fea- tured by the Robinson circus, will take place this afternoon at 2:90 o'clock at Theodore Keiler's undertaking rooms. The burial will be in Oak Grove cene- tery, West Haven.
 An interesting circumstance Is the fact that the deceased and his two brothers, who had not met for years, held reunion in this city only about two weeks ago. One of the brothers, George, came from his home in New Hampshire to be present, He Is eighty years of age. The other brother is Will liam Cameron of West Haven, aged seventy-four. Charles was seventy years of age. Mir. Cameron, proprietor of the Sea View House, Savin Rock, Is a nephew of the deceased, as is also Pearle Cameron of Centerville. A sis- ter of the Cameron brothers died a few years ago and left to Charles in trust a sum of money, which supported him in his last few years The brother Geopge telegraphed yesterday from New Hampshire that he would be unable to take the journey again to New Haven to attend the funeral, his health not permitting him ts> make another long journey so soon.

Caretaker Takes Him for Robber and Waits for Him at CornerWith
 Gun.

William Leddy, @ new supernumer- ary at the Dixwell avenue station, had an experience the other night which served as quite copious initiation in to the dangers of his duties. Leddy was on his night rounds and discov- cred a light in the new home of Att torney Samuel A. York up on Pros- pect street As the house was sup posed to be closed he began to inves- tigate what this might hean, First he rang at the front door and getting TO response went to the back Final ly he made an entrance only to find a woman nearly frightened to death, She said that she had been sent to prepare the house for opening up for the re- turn of the York family and that she and her husband were to live there until the family came back
 Upon going out Leddy just turned a corner to find man aiming gun at him. When he saw that Leddy was a policeman he dropped the gun and in fear told him that he thought the man who came to the house was a burglar and that he had intended to shoot him. Tie man was the husband to the woman in the house. Leddy had a rather narrow escape from being shot by the frightened man.
 MT. York, owner of the house, is in Maine spending his vacation.
