A GENEROUS POLICE SUBSCRIPTION.

m CONTRIBUTION of $500 by the Newark police department
IN for the benefit of the fund for the factory fire victims is a
credit to the department. The largest single contribution
to the fund was that of the STARS concert in the Kruger Audi
forum, while the receipts, respectively, for the benefit perform
ances at the Newark and Empire theatres and in Viewers Colos-
scum range from $500 to $500. The splendid response made to the
appeal for aid in behalf of the victims and their families has been
without precedent in Newark and almost without parallel in the
cities of the country. The STAR has raised a number of funds for
philanthropc purposes, but in no previous cases were the contrbu-
tons given more quickly, more generously or with such hearty
good will.

STATE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS PROSPEROUS.

m N increase of $15,860,545 in the resources of all the State
Il\ financial institutions is shown in the statement of State
Banking Commissioner Lewis for the past year. The aggre-
gate resources of all the institutions, State banks, trust companies
and savings banks, amount to $354604 662. Of these resources the
trust companies hold $222,850,894 an increase of more than ten
millions. The savings bank resources now total $113,O89 41, the
increase during the year being $751; 64. The State banks own
$18664,3 1886 resources, and the increase is small, amounting only to
$28045. The growth of the trust companies, of which there are
now eightyfour in the State, has been phenomenal. Their re-
sources now amount to nearly two-thirds of the aggregate for all
the State financial institutions. The savings banks also show pros
penty, the increase for the year Of $5,540,S63 in the deposits being
above the yearly average. A like large increase for the building
and loan associations, added to that of the savings banks, makes
a splendid showing for the wageearners of the State. To be added
to the resources and deposits of the State institutions are those
Of the national banks, which are not reported by the State com
missioner.

To see the -Four CornersS and other

somebody is either using very bad

Why Were Jersey Jurists Ignored .
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The reported turn down by President
Taft of the two Jersey jurists SO
prominently named as United States
Supreme Court timber, Chief Justice
Gummere and Justice Swayze, is to be
most sincerely regretted. Let us hope
that another day will bring another
report, one more gratifying to the pride
of the people of this State.
Jersey Justice" is proverbial, and it
has been many a long year since a
jurist from this State has been on the
Supreme Court bench of dear old Uncle
Sam.
If President Taft has really turned
down the two justices named there
must be a reason. What is the reason?
Is it the old, old fallacy that New Jer-
sey Is a sort of second-rate State, out
side Of the Union, and unworthy of
any great honors that may come from
Washington, D.. C.?

Senator LaFollette, of Wisconsin,
at least is not one of those men who
regard a request from the White House
as an imperative command which must
be obeyed at all hazards. Far from
regarding an invitation to confer with
President Taft as a mandate, he did not
accept 1t and replied in what must be
considered, since it is addressed to the
supreme ruler of the land, as a rather
independent and. shall we say, pre-
sumptious letter.
AS regarding the Judicial appointments
concerning which Mr.. Taft wanted to
see him the Wisconsin senator advised
that "only such men be selected as
will be certain to construe the con
stitution and the laws with due regard
to the interests of the people, eliminat-
ing from consideration those whose
legislative or judicial record shows
them biased toward special interests
or whose legal connections would tend
to prejudice their minds in favor of
such interests"
And Senator LaFollette adds in
effect that he will support the admin
SO long as the President is
good.

Abdul Hamid, deposed sultan Of

poses even though he lacks other
qualities essential in a ruler.
The Young Turks now in the control
Of the government are suing a German
bank for 81, 500, 900, which Abdul had
there as a personal account. They
maintained it was a portion of the
public fund inc displayed an order on
the clearinghouse %purporting to come
from Abdul.
But it developed hat the old sultan
had agreed with his bankers on a GER
tain secret symbol, lacking which any
order was to be held worthless. The
bank refused to pay the money, and
the lower German court sustained it
in its stand.
The decision has been reversed, but
the money remains in the bank.

Investigation of the High street hor-
ror, incidental to the inquest, seems to
have established thoroughly two points.
First, the door at the foot of the
stairway leading to the fourth floor was
locked.
Second, the door at the foot of the
stairway leading to the fourth floor
was open and hooked back.
This important point having been
definitely settled two ways, perhaps 1t
will be possible to move on to the con-
sideration of other phases of the dis
aster.

half-hour of panic, such as ensued in
the doomed building after the alarm

lend weight to one of the impressions at

A wholesale meat dealer explained
the new rise in meat prices thusly:
TITS a natural nuctuation in the mar
ket. that's ALL"
Very simple and perhaps it might
have been satisfactory but for the fact
that the public has grown suspicious.
The decline in the price of meat
which followed sharply on the heels of
the election engendered the belief that
perhaps some unnatural fluctuations
showing an upward gain each time
had been very busy.
A feeling that the law of supply and
demand is held responsible for too
many disagreeable rises in prices will
not down. Coupled with il is a growing
tendency to COX further for explana-
tions which really explain.

SENATE COMMITTEE HAS DIE,
FERENT RESOLUTION ON BAL
LlNeER PlNcAoT, PROBE. q
NAMING Of COMMITTEE
poses That Vice President
a and Speaker Select
the Members.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Another fight
between the insurgents and the or
ganization in the house was precipi-
tated by the action of the senate COM
mittee on public lands today in re-
porting a resolution authorizing the
appointment by the vice presideny2 !
speaker of the Joint committee t.
vestigate the Ballinger- Plnchot con
troyersy. The committee not only re-
ported a substitute for the Jones
Humphrey resolution but anticipated
the reference to il of the resolution
adopted in the house yesterday by
agreeing to its action, to stand as a
substitute for the house measure. This
will necessitate some action by the
house on the senate measure and give
the house regulars an opportunity to
turn yesterdays defeat into victory
With the full realization that their
action surcharged with dynamite as
far as the effect in the house is con
cerned, the senate committee de
clined to incorporate any clause Civ
ing the house the appointment of its
six members OF the committee in the
manner it chose. Such an amendment
was offered by Senator Newlands.
The majority of the committee
argued that the joint resolution ia.
vored by the committee was in the
form that precedent prescribed. and
| that as the house resolution has not
yet been messaged to the senate com
mittee had no knowledge officially Of
| the house contest. Only Newlands
and Hepburn voted for the Newlands
amendment The former based hts
action on his expressed desire to see
that Pinchot be tried by a committee
whose fairness could not be ques-
toned and the latter on the belief
that the senate should not attempt
to dictate the manner in which the
house committeeman should be So
Ilected.
1t Is reported that the senate or
ganization is sending out call for
absentees so as to be ready to put
the substitute resolution through
when reported Monday. 1t is also re-
ported, apparently authentically, that
the house organization is getting its
membership in readiness for the fray
and that a desperate attempt will be
made to have the senate's resolution
adopted in lieu Of the house measure
In preparing the substitute the sen
ate committee used part of the orig
inal Jones-Humphrey draft and part
of the house resolution. AS far as
the scope of the inquiry is concerned
little change was made. The power
of summoning witnesses was placed
in the hands of the chairman of the
joint committee or the chairman OF
Iany Subcommittee instead of in the
hands of the president or the speaker

them never to forget that the fight
in which you are engaged for a safe
and decent handling of our timber
| lands is infinitely larger than any
mans personal presence or personal

Continuing, he said:
This fight must go on; you are the
men to carry it on Stay by the
work; hold fast to the standards we
have set together Never allow your
selves to forget that YOU are serving
a much greater master than the de-
partment of agriculture or even the
administration.
Addressing the clerks, Pinchot com.
manded them to maintain the service
at the same standard, press along the
same lines, never forget that they
are the servants of the people OF the
United States, responsible to then
alone.
