A REPROBATE KING
HAS PASSED WAY

land, took brides. What estimate can be made of King Ieopold.
of Belgium, who died yesterday? AS a monarch he was kindly
to his people, and did much to improve their conditions. In
his morals he was a reprobate of the worst type, and the scandals
of his private life have filled Europe. Even when old age had over
taken him his prohigaey in that respect was not less pronounced.
He was an art lover and connoisseur, and his collections m among
the best in Europe. He was dishonest. He squandered millions:
he wasted his wifes great fortune and also the estate of his sister.
worth ten millions, of which he was trustee and for which he never
accounted. A shrewd business man was King Leopold. He was
shrewd enough to induce the great powers TO give him ownership
and control of the great Congo region in equatorial Africa, with its
nine hundred thousand square miles, and he proceeded to have it
exploited for wealth. The horrors of the early Spanish conquest of
South America do not exceed those of King Leopolds administra.

acted literally upon the theory that the king can do no wrong"

upon millions of helpless blacks-these were incidents in King

Defends superintendent Dill


To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-Of all the small, cheap,
tawdry efforts to make a goat" of
a conscientious, Woodworking pub
lie official, the prosecution of DR..
Daniel M. Dill, superintendent of
the Overlook asylum, is the limit.
Every day the papers are full of
stuff" that the worthy 60 Board
of Chosen F%reeholders have found
out about the Overlook superin-
tendent. And when DR.. Dill refuses
to answer the foolish and idiotic
charges, the short-sighted public
Immediately brands him guilty.
Why should he answer the wild
q~uestionings of q few men who
know nothing whatever about run
ming a great institution like Over
brook? No doubt he car explain all
the alleged irregularities that have
been put on his already work-bent
shoulders. And he will.
Why don't the people of the
county wake up and get to the seat
of the real trouble. The freehold
ers are making a great cry about
Dir. Dill. Sure they are. Why
shouldn't they? When they are
doing thai the public fails to sec
that the freeholders and not DR..
Dill are to blame for the conditions
at the county hospital for the in
sane.
Or. Dill is superintendent. But is
he also supposed to be a clerk,
bookkeeper, accountant, nurse, sur
geon and practising physician as
well? That is wfat the great Board
of Freeholders seem to think.
The state of the records or the
alleged state, rather, is wholly the
fault of the board, who have the
hiring of men and women to do the
clerical work of the county. When
help Is needed and asked for, the
board, in session at the Court
House, hens and haws for a few
minutes, then lays the matter
over" The consequence is. that
DR.. Dill and many others in charge
of county institutions are handi-
capped for lack of persons to do
the routine tasks.
Sometimes, of course, the position
is filled. Then the board fixes a
salary so low that an incompetent
clerk must be hired. When mis-
takes are made and errors found
does anyone ever say that the free
holders are to blame? Not on your
life. The poor, overworked official
is the goat
/ look to the intelligence of the
public at large, and especially the
people of this county, to see that
DR.. Dill is given a fair show and
that the blame is placed where it
belongs. FAIR PLAY.

We announced, several days ago.
that the Prairie after being foated
free of the mud flat would start
toward the front the next day with
out fail. We wish to apologize.
The Prairie did not sail the next
day nor the day after that. 1t was
not our intention to mislead. We
depended upon the personal assur-
ance of the secretary of state and
spread the report in good faith. A.
telegram from Secretary Knox
stating that the Prairie will posi-
lively get away today lies before
us, but we are SO disguised by these
many delays we do not intend to
answer 1t.

Doubt. snead Murder.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I have read in the
EVENING STAR and other ews
papers of the work of the prose-
cutting officers and detectives in the
East Orange bathtub mystery, and
l have not found any evidence on
which a charge of murder could be
made against anybody for the death
of MRS. Snead, nothing but theories
ana suspicious paseu on insurance
policies. so-cailed houses of mys-
tery" and the reticence and seclud-
ed habits of the accused.
There is no proof that Mrs. Snead
was murdered; that she, an invalid
for a long time, did not drown her.
self in the bathtub, or that she did
not write the suicide letters.
Handwriting experts, like doctors.
have given evidence in criminal
cases for the side that employed
them. AS to "houses of mystery"
/ have known a dozen of them in
Newark, and during an experience
of upward of forty years found,
after investigation, that in nearly
every instance the story was started
by q spiteful woman, because she
could not get next" to women oc-
cupants of a house who preferred
to not become intimate with prying
neighbors. AS to insurance poll
cies. official records show that some
insurance companies have fought
their payment on various p%retexts.
The threads of the bathtub mys-
terry appear to the impartial reader
to be more tangled now than when
Mrs. Snead was found dead. AS to
the murder theory I am
A DOUBTER.

rooms. The best part OF the
third floor OF the postofiice is at
present given over to a suite OF
rooms for the Federal Court; these
rooms are used perhaps twice or
three times q month. The customs
house has a suite of rooms entirely
adequate to it's needs, and the
internal revenue Office found no
difficulty recently, and at this very
moment, in fact, in housing from
six to nine extra clerks used in the
administration of the excise cor
poration tax.
And then as to the postofflce
proper, occupying the whole Of the
first floor. If the gentlemen of the
Trade Board would ask any COM
petent official In the postal depart
ment of the United States govern
ment how the Newark postofflce
compares with other postoffices in
point of space for every clerk, light,
ventilation, size of corridor and any
other point they might think of,
they would learn that very, very
few postoffices have as commodious
corridors as the local station; that
stamp selling facilities here are
quite competent to handle the de-
mand, and that the sorting-room
and other rooms of the working
department are remarked as being
among the brightest and most COM
modious in the United States.
Let the Board of Trade exercise a
little more care in formulating their
opinions and they will command
greater respect.

Are Freeholder. to blame.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Dear Sir-In the investigation of
the finding of the woman's body at
the old asylum for the insane on
South Orange avenue, which your
paper has placed so fully before the
public, has it occurred to you that
it might prove worth while to dis
cover how far the FreehoIders are
responsible for the tragedy?
AS I understand it, DIR. Dill and
the other heads of institutions be-
longing to the country are under
their orders and can proceed with
nothing of Importance without the
authority of the board. If the books
were not well kept, was it not the
fault of the Freeholders for not pro-
viding better or more bookkeepers?
] am told that at Morris Plains
there are nine men employed to- do
the work that n is doing in the
county hospital here. Again, I
understand that the present book
keeper is not trained for the work,
or at least was following another
trade when appointed to the place.
Still another instance. Ever since
the investigation began the Free
holders have been coming forward
with stories of neglest they say
they noticed before the discovery of
the skeleton. If that is true, and
the things they speak of impressed
them so forcibly, was it not their
duty to investigate and see why
things were not going right instead
of waiting? 1t looks to me as if
they Were willing to shift all blame
on DR.. Dill in order to escape re-
sponsibility themselves.

be made glad with Christmas gifts. The STARS fund should be a
good round one before the time comes for its distribution. and
STAR readers can double the present figures by their contribu
tons and feel that they have added TO the pleasure of Christmas
for themselves as we'll as for the wistful children who know so
little of the Christmas spirit. If every man who makes a Gift to
relative or friend can reflect that he had matched that Gift with a
donation for a gift to the children of the poor, he will feel that his
Christmas present has for him a greater value-that it is twice
blessed.
