II. NIX. TwoMBLY ILL.
Report That His Condition, Not Death Of Har-
riman. Caused Return of w. x. Vanderbilt

Hamilton Nick Twombly. 1t became known In
the financial district yesterday. has for some time
been In failing health, and has not been at his
Office since June The impairment Of his health
is understood TO have dated from the shock which
he suffered from the death by drowning Of his
only son. on July 8, 1906.
1t is said in Wall Street that 1t the condi-
ton Of Mr.. Twombly. and not the death OF Mr..
Hartman. commonly reported which caused
the return OF William X Vanderbilt. his brother
in-law, to this country a fortnight ago Mr..
Twombly has devoted much Of his time to the
New York Central. and II is said that It has been
his familiarity with its affairs and his constant
communication with Mr.. Vanderbilt concerning
them which have enabled the latter to spend so
much Of his time in Europe during the last few
years.
Mr. Twombly, whose home is at Madison N j.
Is a director OF many Of the companies in the
New York Central system and is also a director
Of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company
the Central Railroad Company OF New Jersey the
Reading Company and the Erie Railroad Company;
he Is also manager of the Delaware, Lackawanpa &
Western Railroad Company and a director OF the
Metropolitan Opera Company, OF this city.

gUsTIcE ZOE sPAIN AND FERRER.

There is cause for Spains Objecting 10 things
which are said and done in other lands about
the Ferrer case. II was given by Paris last
week when tie mob Of Montmartre went out
20 plunder and burn that city as an expression
of It's disapproval of the execution at Barcelona.
Well may the Temps" of Paris appeal against
such conduct and the "A c. of Madrid pro-
test against Spans being pilloried as a nation
Of saVsges by the successors of the thugs and
petroleuses of the Commune Our Paris corre
spond I on Sunday graphically set forth the
character Of the demonstration in that city,
and in his reminder that il was practically or
Esnized and melted by the eminently respect
able Herve. Jaures and Valiant. who of course,
would be the last men in the world themselves
70 practise the loot and arson which their teach
ings provoked, he pertinently renewed our own
suggestion OF the possibility Of Ferrer's having
similarly been unintentionaly responsible for
the outrages of the mob Of Barcelona. Nor is
Il only such an outbreak as that Of the Apsches
Of Paris which is 10 be condemned. Men in
ofher lands may question the justice of Ferrer'S
conviction and may ask for further light on the
case but they have no business TO declare
ofhsnd that Spain puts men TO death for hold
Ing certain ideas and that the execution in ques-
ton was 'tnonkish murder" Decency. not 10
say courtesy and comfy. requires a different
tone from that in commenting upon the deiib-
crate and weighfy deeds Of another nation. The
Opposition in Spain may use violent speech
against the government. but impartial observ-
ers elsewhere should be more temperate
For -epinien is not all on one side Our Lon
don correspondent in his Sunday dispatches
quoted an exceptionally well Informed man as
saying that FerTer was Undoubtedly a criminal
aud MAS deserving of death although his trial
was uptair and his conviction WAS therefore
technically Illegal. II lis view of the case is
correct we may censure the Spanish govern
nenf for technical fault but il would lie folly
10 rave against il for saVageTy. Moreover,
something must be pardoned 10 great prOvOca-
ion. Things have been done in our own eoun-
tr7. as in dealing with the cOnspirators for the

Admiral Won Roster, who represented the Ger

is a stickler for punctuality. Before sailing for
home last week he gave example of how i'm

appointment. He had promised TO visit the
Seemanshaus. in Hoboken. a haven for German
sailors when in port, at o'clock Tuesday
morning. On reaching the building his watch
showed minute past the hour OF his appoint
ment, and he Immediately made profuse apologies
TO the officers of the institution for his inability
to meet them at the appointed time

New-York tribune., 1909-10-19


The royal-or imperial-road appears some
times to be particularly roundabout. The Rus
sian Emperor wants to go to Italy. but he will
not go through Austria-Hungary, because he
does not wish to appear to condone the seizure
of Bosnia and Herzegovina Neither will he go
through Bavaria and Switzerland. because some
members of the Munich Parliament have been
saying things about him. Accordingly, he will
make a wide detour through France. One Of
these days 1t may be practicable for great per-
sonages travel in airships, but even then 1t
will be necessary to determine how high the
territorial atmosphere" of a country extends
and for the illustrious voyager TO keep above it
in the high seas of the upper air.
The suggestion contained in Washington dis
patches that Charles E. Magoon. former Pro-

to any information procurable at the capital.
