NEW YORK, June 2S.-ln a state

chief Of detectives, said l-lat Elsie
Sigers murderer would be caught.
Inspector McCanerty said; The
whole country is one vast rat trap
with every exit guarded. The girl
was killed 10 a. m. and noon on June

From his room on Eigh. avenue
Leon went straight to Washington ana
from there sent the telegram signed
Elsie to her father on the night CI
the murder, then returned to New
York about midnight June 9th and
took the body TO Newark, y. j.. arriy-
ing there about a. III. June 10th.
We do not know how he transported
the trunk. but being unable to dispose
of ii in that city he returned To New
York that afternoon, bringing the
trunk with him and replacing it in
the Eighth avenue room. From that
moment we have lost all trace OF
him."
The Inspector added that the only
ship il was possible on which. Leon
could have left the country is due at
Yokohama July 3, and this ship will
be watched.

Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison have not violat- ed the terms of the injunction but in stead have exercised their right of free speech and free press" The appeal goes to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, and thence it may go to the U. $. Supreme Court.
 It is matter of some interest to newspapers, this question whether they can be barred from the discussion of public issues by injunction. There is also a question of interest to newspa- pers pending in New York and con- nected with certain articles relating to the purchase of the Panama Canal which appeared in the N. Y. World.
 There is an apparent disposition in some quarters to "curb the press It has increased somewhat since Judge Wright declared, in the Gompers de- cision, that though Congress is con- additionally prohibited from infring- ing the rights of free speech, free press and free assembly, States may do so, unless restricted by their own consti- tutions.

The fact that Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee had sought the renomina- ticn of Postmaster Allen of Middle town for two years, and then secured it's rejection by the Senate, proves that there was no mistake in attributing their later action to an intention of p,anishing him for supporting Hill for Ser ator. That Allen still retains office as a hold-over does not change the main fact that the great office of Sen ator is being abused to the purposes of petty revenge.

THE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH

So far as yet known, the collision between the steamships Republic and Florida, was unavoidable. Both ves- sels were proceeding with due precau- tions through a dense fog and neither knew of the others proximity until they came together. There is vague sntimation that the Florida was not in the so-called inward bound lane and was seeking it, which would account for the collision at practically right angles.
 The collision has proved the great value of the water-tight compartment system. Without it, the Republic would have sunk almost instantly; with it the vessel remained af1oat an abundant time for the rescue of all the passengers. But the value of this system had been proved on previous occasions, and a fresh demonstration was not needed.
 1t was, however, the value of wire, less telegraph which proved itself be- yond all possibility of question. With in ten minutes, the operator on the Re- public succeeded in notifying shore station of the vessels danger, and the same signal was caught by several steamships within 150 to 200 miles, all of which hastened at once to the res- cue. But for the prompt notification by wireless. the rescuing vessels might not have arrived in time, for the Re- public eventually sank and the Flor ida, badly overloaded and also with her bow seriously crushed, might not have reached port safely in which events the loss of life would have been heavy.
 The wireless telegraph system is en- titled to great credit. and it's installa- tion on at least all passenger carrying steamships should be made obligatory.

The bill reported for enactment by the General Assembly, by the special commission on employers liability, ap- pears to be broadly comprehensive, though applying in the major part specifically to railroads. It provides that stwhere personal injury is caused to an employe who is himself in the exercise of due care and diligence, by any defect in ways, tools or machinery, co-employee, or through the negligence of superintendents, or by the negli- gence of switchmen, engineers. etc., the employee who is injured shall have the same right of compensation there for "as if the employee had not been an emplOye of nor in the service of the employer" Written notice of months, and suit must be brought within a year. If an employer has contributed to an insurance fund, or to any relief society or benefit fund, such amount may be used in mitigation of recoverable damages.
 That the General Assembly will en- act some measure of employers liabil- ity, is a virtual certainty. It may not be in the form summarized above which may be materially amended. The commissions bill appears to be fair to both employer and ernploye. It prac- tically repeals the so-called fellow servant" law which has operated, un- der modern conditions, most unjustly. This was the main subject of com pIaint.

The effort of President-elect Taft tc coEciIiate the South, with a view to a split of the "Solid South' in future elections, is a continuation of the pol icy pursued to some extent by .Presi- dent Mckinley but not materially suc- cessful. Perhaps MT. Taft will meet with better success. An obstacle in his way is that the Southern Republi- cans whom he must appoint to office if party wishes and promises are to be carried into effect, are unpopular to say the least, with Southern Demo- crats.

HOW THEY FACED DEATH,

The rescue of the entombed miners
at Cherry, ILL.,, after week of alter
mating hope and fear, revealed how
resourceful the survivors were when
escape seemed hopeless, and how they
put their trust in God when there APP
peared to be no other hope. In the
depths Of earth with scores Of dead
comrades near them, with he de-
stroying fire stayed and a source Of
pure drinking water found they brave
ly tasted and prayed and waited
Twice every day they held religious
service; the sound Of a hymn was
the first evidence Of life that reached
the ears of the rescuing party. III
the fingers of one OF the rescued was
found, scrawled upon a piece OF brown
paper, his last message, as he had
supposed, to his wife, and fervent
prayer Of resignation. Goodbye IN
til heaven shall bring US together"
were the written words of another.
Who can imagine what week Of
such suffering and delay means to the
human mind and, yet, when they were
safe, although weak, they were eager
TO join in the work of further rescue.
These noble fellows were worth saw
ing and they are worthy of the pro-
lection which Roosevelt recommended
for them in the name Of Justice and

Some half dozens rufians were out

which she told with her dying breath.
1t has become "the regular thing
for certain class of automombilists
to invite almost any girl whom they

them. and the fascination Of the sport
often tempts girls who ought to know

is observable that Joy riders never
run quite to recklessly as when they

CIRCULATION
THE DEATH OF o. r. FYLER.

Expressions of sorrow were heard
all over eastern Connecticut on Mon
day when the announcement Of the
sudden death of o. r. Fyler Of Tor
rinston was made by telegraph. Few
mid-state men are so well known or
can count so many personal friends
in the eastern counties. His service
in the civil war, his long political ca
reer, and his companionable qualities
opened wide opportunity for making
acquaintance and friends in all parts
Of the state, and few men have been
more generally liked or been able to
command more loyal friends in the
republican party.
He was an able organizer, tactful
manager and a good loser, and met the
few reverses which came to him good
naturally and his opponents were new
er able to put him down and out.
He has made a proud record as a
public off1cial, and was regarded as a
man Of honest convictions with reso-
luton to carry them out.
In his death the republican party has
lost one of its ablest managers.

FAMOUS HORSES HATED MEN.
Diamond Jubilee Once Tried to Kill
Jockey Cannon.

Famous race horses, like famous peo-
pie, are often very eccentric in their
behavior, and there have been many
cases of celebrated animals that have
turned savage and had to be shot
through trying to eat their Jockeys.
Otto Madden, the famous Jockey who
only few seasons ago won the Derby
on the 100 to 1 chance, Jeddah, was
violently attacked by a horse at the
Brighton races.
He was riding Centre down to the
post for the Worthing plate when a
horse called Marigold " overlook him,
dragged him out Of the saddle by the
shoulder, and Selling him by the
throat, shook him as a terrier shakes
rat.
The jockey of Marigold w, who had
himself been unseated, used his whip
freely on the brute's head to make him
release Madden, and. other Jockeys
coming to his assistance, Marigold w
was eventually beaten off,
Madden returned to the paddock
bleeding from a wound in the throat
which had to have several stitches put
into it, and it was some time before he
was able to ride again.
Sweet Sounds, in spite Of his name,
was an irreclaimable savage. One
morning at exercise his girths became
undone, he got his boy off and rushed
at him like a lion, the result to the
unlucky lad being month in the hos
pftal.
Good Morning was another of the
upgly tempered sort. Once he bit his
leading rein clean through with one
vicious snap, caught hold of his at
tendant and shook him ferociously.
Ladas, another famous race horse,
was perfectly quiet under ordinary cir
cumstances, bit for some reason he
had a great dislike for ladies and
would ego for them" If any members
of the fair sex approached the pad

LET US PUSH AHEAD.

This Is the slogan of the Municipal
league candidate for mayor of Bos-
ton, James ]. Storrow, who appears
to be backed by men Of all parties.
In accepting the nomination for mayor
he said: Il have faith in Boston and
in Boston's future. 1t is time to stop
croaking about our little pains and
ills. Let US push ahead. i believe
Boston can go long way In a short
time"
He is a man who believes that in
municipal matters the drawbacks
should be left to look out for them
selves and that all plans for advance
ment should be fostered-that is, not
what we can't do that should take
tiCde and attention, but what we can
DO.
Boston has it's complaints, but he
does not mind them, for he has faith
that Boston can go a long way in a
short time-that it is not too indo-
lent to push, not to weak to stride.
This is the spirit which must create
the bigger and better Boston.
The song of the municipal crouch
everywhere is a song of discourage
ment, for he is man Of no faith
a wilter Of progressive plans. He is
somewhat worse than a bore, for he is
hindrance to progress and depre-
ciator of values.
Boston ought to promote its Stor-
rows, and the Storrows of all New
England cities should come to the
front. They are the promoters of
public interests, the enhancers of val
ues and are needed every hour.

LOEB UNPOPULAR.

The fact that Collector Loeb is I'M
popular does not queer him with the
administration and it cannot be a sur
prise to himself He was made col
lector of New York because Of his
honesty and faithfulness and the
sleuth that was in him, and he has
given the rogues no quarter, whether
they were in trousers or petticoats.
OF course, he has gone too far, but
that is not a common failing, for usu-
ally such officials are charged with
not having gone far enough. He has
rounded up the little wrongdoers and
the big cheats, as Sugar trust revela-
tions disclose, and he has every
smuggler, CRATER and cheat in the
country snarling at or about him, and
the situation now resolves itself into
this-tTlat the defrauders Of the gov
eminent must make every dollar
wrongfully obtained good; and every
official who aided and abetted the
fraud must get out in dishonor and
make room for honest men. Nearly a
hundred have had to go and more will
have to follow. A man of the type
of Loeb can be popular only with the
government and people who believe in
honor and justice. The popularity
which would keep the rogues speak
ing well of him is not the kind that
is worth having.
