Belated Prophecy

There seemed sorry touch of belated
prophecy in the former husband $
words. While the woman, who in silks
and Jewels once conquered as an in
ternational queen of beauty wherever
her gay path led. rests on a hard, cold
cot in the rough ward of the detention
hospital for the insane, her second and
present husband, Joseph Mccormick, a
waiter by occupation, means in a char
ity ward at the University of Califor
mia hospital, south of the park. suffer

knife wound in the thigh, inflicted by
his wife. Mrs. Ada Long Vincent-Mc-
Cormick
And at the same time Mrs McCor-
mick's elder son, Madison Vincent. her
one champion OF all her broad court.
whose father was II years ago di-
vorced by the mother, was at the
proud Long home, 2647 Pierce street. a
supplicant in the cause of his wretched
parent, who once was the beautiful CEN
ter of the family circle.
From Denver, the former home of
the young woman. there came yester-
day news of an exciting career which
Mrs. Mccormick had in that city.

In addressing the senate Foraker
said that during the summer letters
had been coming TO him from these
discharged negro soldiers declaring that
detectives were constantly engaging
them in conversation. The senator
spoke Of the activities Of the detectives

ing that in many cases they went so
far as to take up their dwelling with
the discharged soldiers for the purpose
or securing their confidence and spying
upon their movements.

10 do it,
Upon the conclusion of Foraker's re-
marks. Culberson asked that the presi-
dents message on the Brownsville af-
fair be read, and Vice President Fair
banks directed it be done. All the sena-
tors present remained in their seats
and much interest was shown in the
document.
Senator Foraker took the floor as
soon as the presidenr-s message and
the accompanying reports had been
read. He read q setter from Boyd
Conyers, discharged soldier, who is
alleged to have made a confession to
Detective Lawson.
Scores Detective
In his letter Conyers speaks of the
visit Of Lawson to Monroe, Ga. where
Conyers has been living. Conyers
says lie learned that Lawson was
there 10 pick" him and that he had
tie high sheriff" arrest Lawson. As
Lawson had not had an opportunity to
have a private talk with Conyers, ac-
cording to the latter's letter. it made
him angry and Conyers says Lawson
told lies" TO the sheriff about him.
Foraker referred causticaly to the
negro detective, calling attention. to
his high sounding. smooth, logical re-
port, signed with his mark" and then
added:
~Oh. Mr.. President. when this thing
is gone to the bottom OF. all honest
men viii be ashamed of it"
Foraker said that the presidents
statement concerning this investigation
by detectives showed the propriety of
adopting such a provision as that en-
bodied in his amendment
1t seems TO me-" he said. that one
or the worst features of this whole un-
fortunate business is that this man
should now be pursued in this way by

Senator Foraker read letter he had
written to conyers, in which he said
he would look after the detectives
who are visiting him

Now. will say to the whole house. as result of three and a half months in Europe for the immigration commission-talking with the chiefs of police, governors of provinces. talking with the plain. com mon people. talking with anybody that thought knew anything about inn migration-that the worst effect on the foreign criminal himself is pro- duced by the impression that in this country. where we have very largely manhood suffrage. we are so afraid of the foreign-born voter that We will stand up for the foreign born criminal because We are towards. That Is the impression they have abroad of us. L want to say that the vote of the house on Monday. when it gets over to Italy and to Turkey and to Austria by wire or by newspaper. will confirm that impression in the mind of every Cammorista in Naples. every Mafiaist in Messina. every Black Hand in Pa lerno. and every Hunchakist in Con stantinople. That is what they believe of this country. They believe that we cannot enforce the law. and do not dare to enforce the law l have had an Italian in Calabria, which is said to contain the most dangerous crirli- nals. although I venture to doubt it, shake his finger across the table, in the council room of his city hall and tell me about a man that came back from a village in the state of New York a man who had been a carpen- ter earning $4 a day. and had felt his life to be unsafe in the state of New York: had gone back to Italy and worked for 60 cents a day because he felt safer in Calabria.

GOOD AND BAD TRUSTS.

We are now likely to have differ entiation of the trusts after many years when it was thought that they were all alike. evil. The late Senator Hanna, we believe, once spoke of good trusts and bad trusts" and he was greeted with derisive jeers by the trust bus ters. When trust busting finally began or began to be attempted, there was no discrimination. The aim was to bust them an That seemed to be what '.the people" demanded the annihilation of the trusts. The very name was hateful to the populace and the popu- lace had the votes.
 The president in his regular message to the present congress seemed 10 nave discovered that there was as Senator Hanna had said good trusts as well as bad ones. He spoke of that discovery again in his special message and sug- eested a modification of the sherman law so that it might not apply to the good trusts In reported utterances since then the president has given two reasons why the anti trust law should be modified. One of the reasons was that some trusts were beneficial to the community and should be encouraged. Another reason for the desired modi- fication was that a law or part of law which could not be enforced should be wiped off the statute books. So, if the president can have his way the good trusts and such trusts as cannot be convicted under the Sherman law, will be relieved of the annoyance of prosecution.
 Whether or not the forthcoming message will draw a line straight or tortuous among the trusts for the in formation of congress is uncertain, but unless it does so the prodigious labors of congress will be vastly increased ii this differentiation is to be imposed upon it.
