A public official like Il municipal
mayor should be the last individual to.
speak publicly in contempt of the grand
jury and pass reflections on its nom
esty. Mayor Gonzales, Of Hoboken. is.
charged with that ~offense, and more
over he refused to answer questions in
the grand Jury room. The Hoboken
mayor was served by the court with
an order TO show cause today why he

gets his own character as a represent
ative OF law and government cannot
complain If he is disciplined by the law
he has affronted.

Business houses, theatres, restau-
rants, saloons and other enterprises In
strike violence. Oscar Hammerstein
has, beer constrained to close his grand
opera house until peace is restored, all
the theatres are losing money, the big
stores arc suffering heavy losses of
trade, and restaurant cooks have
plenty of leisure. And all this disrup-
ttion of business and great loss we're
unnecessary.

The suggestion at Trenton that the
payment OF fifty cents to members of
the National Guard for their attend
ance at each drill might amount to
100000 annually Is absurd. The n
listed strength of the State guard is
4,349. Conceding that an average of
5000 men will attend drills, the
amount expended would be 81, 500 q
week, for the weekly drill, or $4,000
per month. If the drill season extend
ed over the entire year. the cost would
be $4,000. but it does not include the
spring n summer and the early
fall. The entire cost would be covered
by an annual appropriation not ex-
ceeding $50, 900.

Premier Asquith in the parliamentary
election campaign assured his hearers
at public meetings that the Liberal
government would no longer submit to
having it's measures emasculated by
the House of Lords, and that he would
not take Office without guarantees
against interference by the Lords. The
premier being put to the test of fulfill
ing his campaign declarations has con-
tracted cold feet" He wants to put
the question Of the Lords in a Sec
ondary place, although it was the main
issue of the elections. He and his fieu-
tenants have modified their anti-Lords
program. But the Liberal ministry has
a preearious footing. The Liberal party
cannot act alone, II must have Ma
tionalist and Labonite support. A tenn
porizing policy. under the circum-
stances, is a cowardly one. and a cow
ardly ministry ought togo DOWN lin de-
feat.

HOLDS TITLE TO LAND IN
HEART OF DENVER INVALID
Federal Court Declares Probate
Judges Exceeded Authority

DENVER, July 25-A decision af-
fecting property in the heart of Denver
was handed down by Federal Judge
Lewis today 1t is in effect that pro-
bate judges forty years ago exceeded
their authority and decided away lands
they had no power to transfer. At that
time an act of congress granted 800
acres to the city of Denver and probate
judges were empowered to complete
title to certain occupied lands. Robert
Potter was given certain lands by
these officials, and in the course of
time this property came into possession
of the Colorado & Southern railway.
Heirs of Potter are seeking to recover
it and the railroad is making the plea
that the probate judges exceeded their
authority, and the company contends
that it is the owner by right of pos
session. All the property in a section
of the wholesale and warehouse dis
trict is affected, much of it very valu-
able. An appeal will be taken.

Music Notes
BY Florence Rosard Iawrenco

Listeners at Levy's cafe chantant
program yesterday may have thought
that they had heard the "Yama Yama
Man" all they ever wanted to-but if
they did so they changed their minds
before the little soubrette of the team
of Flynn and Mclaughlin finished her
rendition of that number. Clad in
fetching black satin clown costume,
with big rosettes of white tulle, her
black hair flying and red cheeks and
lips blooming, little Miss Mclaughlin
made a delightful picture, and her ami
nation, graceful dancing and pleasing
singing voice made the number a de-
cided success. There were many other
equally picturesque features offered by
this team, including an act in Japanese
costume, bathing costume and one,
decidedly pretty. in which the girl ap-
peared as an Indian maiden. The
laurels Of this act are not all for the
young woman either. for Mr. Flynn, in
his white fiannels, did some acrobatic
dancing and sang some popular songs
with good effect. The entire act was
repeatedly encored, and at the last the
two young folk left the stage amid re-
fretful hand -clappng of the audience.
Susanne RoCamora knows how to
build her programs, dressed up to the
minute, possesses an eXcellently trained
voice, and what is far more to the pur-
pose a delightful stage presence. What
more could the young woman desire?
Certainly the audience found her fea-
ture of the program much to its liking,
and her numbers, "Amo" "Ring Around
the Rosy" and the old-time standby
by the Light of the Silvery Moon"
were all received with applause. Miss
Rocamora is engaged for two weeks
only, but promises to be one of the best
features of the very good bill an
nounced for this week.
Lawrence Greenwell, baritone, offered
q number of excellent solos, and with
his clear, distinct enunciation and
pleasant voice achieved a decided sue
cess.
Members Of the Florence trio, already
popular because of the excellence of
their vocal work and the charm of the
operatic numbers which they offer,
added to their high standing yesterday
with a trio from "Rigolette' and an
Italian folk song.
Every member Of this trio is the pos
SCISSOR of an excellent voice, properly
trained and used with intelligence and
musical skill, and their renditions are
well worth hearing.

MURDERER CHEATS THE
HANGMAN BY SUICIDE
Escapes from Guards and Jumps
to ath-SentenCed to
Be Hanged Friday

CARSON, New, July 25.-Under sem
tence to die on the gallows next Fri
day for the murder of his wife, c. c.
Petty, whose legal fight for his life
has been one of the longest and most
persistent ever waged in Nevada, com
mitted suicide in a sensational manner
in the prison yard of the Carson peni-
tentiary today.
While being given his daily exer-
else in the company of two other
condemned men on the walk in front
of the row of cells, Petty broke from
the guard and rushing across the yard
climbed a tall electric light pole.
When he had gained a point about
twenty feet above the ground, he
paused for a minute and then plunged
headlong to the concrete below. HIS
head was crushed and he died a few
minutes later in the prison hospital.
The state board of pardons has held
three sessions for the consideration
of the Petty case and on last Satur-
day decided finally that he should die
according to the decree of the court.
Petty was convicted of shooting his
wife to death at Sparks, New.
