pose of the head and the bearing of the shoulders were characteristics of the missing man.
 On January 2s, nearly three months ago. Roy disappeared from Montgom- cry. and 1t Is said the last that was seen of him was on the ferry boat be- low Montgomery. Nothing was as- certained as to the whereabouts of the missing man until March 1. when . body was found near Selma, which was identified as that of Roy.
 The identity of this body was es- tablished by purse which had the initials of Roy on 1t and papers which were considered sufficient proof.
 The body was brought to Mcntgom- cry and further identified and was then taken to Selma, where 1t wAs iri- tered in the Roy family burytng ground. The reward which lad been offered for the recovery of the re- mains was given to the discoverers of the body and the matter was consid- cred settled.

Unidentified Remains Are Buried

Two Negroes Discover Dec0mposed Remains of White Man Along River Bank Four Miles
 From Montgomery

A body which at first was believed to be the remains of the late 1T. D. C.. Roy was found at an early hour yes- terday morning in some bushes along the Alabama River about four miles below Montgomery. Later investiga- tion seemed to establish the fact that the unknown was not Roy, who was drowned at the Coosa Street ferry on January 26, eleven weeks ago tonight.
 Mrs. Roy, when informed of the find- ing of the body. declared that she had buried her husband some time ago. and so far as she was concerned the matter wasssettled. It will be recalled that when body was found in the river at Selma early in March, Mrs. Roy. after a thorough investigation, ! satisfied herself that the body was that of her husband, and paid the reward that had been offered for it's recovery.
 Mrs. Julia Williams, sister 9f Mir. Roy. was equally positive that the re- mains found yesterday were not those of her brother.
 we identified his body when 1t was found several weeks ago by means of clothing and letters. and there can be no doubt of the fact" she said. The body found today is not that of my brother. There can be no question about that. It is entirely unlike the .s body of my brother. either in bearing, or clothing, or other things"
 Failing of further Identification, the body was buried yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Npotters field.
 Early yesterday morning Coroner Tice received a telephone message, stating that the body of white man who was supposed to be H. D. c. Roy, had been found near Three Shoots about four miles from Montgomery. The discovery was made by two ne- groes, Dennis and Columbus Williams, caught in some brushes and rubbish and partly concealed by willow tree. The coroner was promptly notified.s
 The body was at once taken to the undertaking establishment ef H. A. Loveless. where 1t was viewed by many friends of the man 1t was sup posed to be.
 sA The body, which was almost com p1etely decomposed. with the excep- tion of the feet, arms and head. was clad in blue serge trousers and white shirt with blue spots. A double breasted blue serge coat was found near him and in his pockets were found a purse for coin and card case and a pair of lamp scissors, which 1t was thought might have been for trimming the lantern which Roy was said to have carried with him the night he was drowned.
 People who are said to know Roy pronounced the find to be him, as the

wishes to treat the subject In that manner, and yet that is the alterna- tive presented.
 We shall have to have additional in- formation before we can either agree that institutions of this character de- preciate property values or threat en the health of the neighbor- hood in which they are settled. The statistics offered the aldermen bear out no such conclusion. It has yet to be discovered that the building of the Yale infrmary on Prospect street lowered land values there, though that was predicted as a certain result. There is no evidence that the property sur rounding the Willard Parker hospital in the very heart of New York ever ] depreciated in consequence of that hos pital for contagious diseases being To- cated there The evidence Is rather to the effect that land values are not dis agreeably affected by these institutions and have been in many instances agreeably affected. Nor does the evil dence bear out the apprehension that hospitals turn healthy sections of 8 town into unhealthy sections. It is because the facts and statistics bear out the doctors rather than the mayor that we have additional reasons for regretting the outcome of the campaign. We do not like to feel that it will take an epi- demic to educate New Haven in the soundness of the gospel of humane
 protection for those who cannot protect
 themselves.

In spite of rock and tempest roar, etc, etc, the Ship of State sails on, and in spite of all fine efforts to make the Fourth of July safe and sane the old noisy and ridiculous celebration continues. It has been somewhat nliti- gated in some places, anG there seems to be a growing desire 70 have it mitl- gated in many places. One of those places is New Haven, where the cele- bration began some days ago and will continue until tomorrow night at least So far 1t has been pretty safe, though not sane, It will be neither safe nor sane tonight and tomorrow, but there should be effort to make It as safe and sane as possible. Paren{s can do much in this direction by looking out for the patriotic performances of their off, spring. Of course II Ss hard to persuade children that they csn have fun with out being in danger of losing larger or smaller parts of themselves, but the effert should be made.

AN IMMUNE AMBASSADOR.

James Bryce, the British ambassador at Washington, Is reported to have spoken critically of the constitution adopted by the residents of the new State of Oklahama. This has given rise to the rumor that the State depart ment was about to make the comments the subject of an investigation, but Secretary Taft says that if that is so President Roosevelt has failed to say word to him about it.
 If Ambassador Bryce can outdo the American critics of this remarkable document he must be energetic indeed. It has been accepted by most of them as remarkable document which is destined, if finally approved, to put the State legislature out of business. But suppose that Abassador Bryce did take a shy at 1t, won't somebody tell us who is better qualified to pass upon American constitutional enterprises? His book on the American common wealth is textbook at all of the American colleges and advanced schools, and unless the country Is mis- informed he was sent here as the rep resentative of Great Britain because he was an expert on American political organization.
 It is said that the other representa- lives of foreign governments at Wash- ington would not object to seeing MT. Bryce land in hot water because "he is not diplomat" in the accepted sense. We do not believe the people of this country care box of brass tacks what other foreign representatives think about Bryce. They owe him great debt of gratitude and are ready to trust his tongue when it gets to wagging on matters constitutional. We would even like him to take whack at the Con- necticus variety.

 This is attractive. The Mennonites in Kansas and the Doukhobors in Can ada are efficient and helpful brother hoods and there Is no reason why Methodists shouldn't also be brother ly, efficient and helpful. They were when they were looked down on by some of the prouder people.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
A Miserable Spectacle.
(New York Tribune.)

(New York Tribune)
 But it is a miserable spectacle, this continual nagging at the canal admin istratlon and seeking to put obstacles ri the way Of tie greatest public work the nation has ever undertaken. It might have been thought, by some huoyant optimist, that factionsl and personal animosities would be sunk in the presence of so great an enter prise, and that by common consent the whole American nation would encour- age and aid to the utmost extent the doing of a. work with which the na- tions credit and welfare were so close ly bound up. But such optimism would have been far too buoyant. The melancholy fact Is that because of petty desire to gain some little fac tional advantage, to cause some i'm portant official of the government some embarrassment, or to wreak some con- temptible personal spite upon somebody, men are small enough to libel their own government before the world and to try to create false impressions of an undertaking which should be one of the chief material glories of the na- tion, Happily, the nation and the world are getting to understand the game of the Panama fakers and the fakes which they put forth are likely to be as futile as they are false.
