HEARST RAPS HIS EDITOR

A few days ago the somewhat I'M
usual spectacle was presented of the
owner of big newspaper writing a
reproving letter to his editor and pub
fishing it in his newspaper. Hearst's
editor-we trust it was not John
Temple-jumped on the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court rather
vigorously
When the editorial came under the
notice of Hearst, the owner, he wrote
"a letter to the Editor" in which he
took to task his employee for his edi-
torial utterances. Hearst said, among
other things: Il personally believe
that laws tending to restrain the
liberties and the freedom of the citi-
zen will always operate to the dis
advantage of the weaker citizen.
Therefore these decisions of the SUI
preme Court seem to me to be in
accordance with the Constitution, and
not in opposition to the best inter
ests of the working people"
1t has been the custom of Hearst's
New York papers to attack corpora
lions right and left, and the poor edi-
tor who offended no doubt did so in
the full belief that he was doing his
masters wish. But he has been over
ruled by the court of last resort in
this case.

are chartered accountants well known
not only in this country, but in Eu-

understood that at the request of his
colleagues, Messrs. r. Lancaster Will

receivers, Mr.. S. Davies Warfield con-
suited many railroad executives in re-

out the broad program announced at

This, it is declared, will mean going
into all figures and examining exist
ing methods of handling the property,
developing changes in these methods
essential to success and determining
by expert examination the physical
needs of the property. 1t is recOg-
nfzed that without such broad-gaug-
ed plan no permanently successful re-
organization is obtainable
1t is felt that the growth of the
South and the strategic position oc-

Interest.
Baltimore Sun

Interest in the affairs of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway in local finan-
cial and railroad circles was given a
new impetus yesterday by the announ-
cement of the official staff of the re-
ceivers. The announcement was re-
garded as significant that the policy OF
the receivers in handling the property
will be thorough.
The selection of Mr.. L. G. Haas as
agent to the receivers and the other
appointments announced appeared to
be received with general satisfaction.
Mr.. Haas in retiring from the position
of. assistant general manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to take
up his new duties leaves a record that
railroad officials say makes him es-
pecially fitted for his new work.
He has been connected with the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads for 20 years and represents
the modern type of railroad officials,
being an engineer by profession and
combining a technical training with a
long practical experience in working
out railroad problems.

as assistant agent to the receiver, is
regarded as one of the promising
graduates of what practical railroad
men call the Fitzgerald school," hav-

PARROT SAVED CREW
FROM A MANIAC

NEW YORK. Feb. 25-(SpeciaD =
Hi! Hi! Hi! Look at the Knife, y
shrieked voice from the bridge of
the miranda, as she made her way
through the waters of the Med tier

1t was the shrek of a bird, a
strange bird from Japan, with a fair
ly good English educ alton and an OBJ
servant eye.
A dozen Lascars beneath the bridge
heard the Shrek and knew it was a
warning from the minka. Within a
yard of them, unnoticed save by the
minka, was a crazed sailor with a
long weapon, half knife, half sword.
Another instant and some one would
have gone down before the maniac s
blow.
Mara Binhomab who has been a
prime fayorite with the minka, had
bee, ne insane the bird SAW him

thethe bridge. With eyes fixed on him
the bird watched every movement, and
shrieked the warning just in time to
save his life.
Capt. Evans and Chief Officer Char
les Charters, who were on the bridge
with the minka, then took a hand
and revolver in hand, began pursuing
the pursuer. Round the deck they
went until at last the man made a
dash for the bridge. Then a body
shot through the air, there was a
splash and a shrek, and then the
hooking laugh of the minka, as it
called look at him" But the. Las
car had gone out of sight forever.
