COLLISION At SEA.

With a s%ix-foot hole in her side the
White Star liner Baltic locked in New
York yesterday while her passengers
hurried ashore and congratulated them
selves on their escape from what might
have been a fearful midsea disaster.
The Baltic last Thursday night ran into
the oil tank steamer Standard, bound
from Philadelphia to Copenhagen.
The shock of the impact aroused the
sleeping passengers, who hurried to the
decks in grave apprehension. Repairs
were made and a patch was placed over
the hole in the Battles bow and she
steamed away on her course for New
York. A seaman was reported missing
after the accident.

EXECUTION of Reckerf.

Santiago, Chile, July 5.-Wilhelm
Beckett, formerly chancellor Of the
German megation in Chile, wa exc
cuted today by being shot. His crime
was the murder Of one Of the legation
employees in February, 1909, because
of his knowledge Of large embezzlements
from the legation by Beckett. After
stabbing the man to death Beckett set
fire to the legation, and the murdered
mans body was so badly charred that
it was thought at first to be that OF
Beckett.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 5

The death of Chief Justice Melville
Fuller OF the Supreme Court OF the
United States at his summer home near
Bar Harbor, Me, yesterday morning,
will be regretted by all classes Of men
throughout the country. He was an
able lawyer, an honest man and a Just
Judge. He was once Of three democrats
OF a court composed Of nine and ms
death Will be an especial loss to the
democrats OF the coutry. Throughout his
services Chief Justice Fuller was noted
for the dignity with which he filled
his Office. He preserved that manner,
whether on or off the bench. His
study of literature was reflected in the
style Of his opinions and addresses, and
he was regarded as an authority on
international law. His death recalls
his own words at the centenary OF the
court twenty years ago. Judges Will
be appointed, " said he, and will pass.
One generation rapidly succeeds an
other. But, whoever comes, and who
ever goes. the court remains, keeping
alive, through many centuries we shall
not see, the light that burns with a
constant radiance upon the high altar
of American constitutional justice. ~
Three times since President TAFT as
sumed his Office has death rendered 1t
necessary for him to fill Supreme Court
vacancies. Justices Peckham and
Brewer and now Chief Justice Fuller
have passed and a fourth change is I'M
pending in the resignation Of Justice
Moody, for whose retirement a special
act Of Congress has been enacted.
Never before has 50 swift Il succession
of calls been made upon the chief exec
utive for appointments to the highest
court. The death Of Chief Justice
Fuller places on President Taft the
great responsibility Of appointing a
head for the highest tribunal in the
country. 1t has been more than tTen-
ty-two years since this duty has de
volved on a president.

THE long-talked-of fight between
James ]. Jeffries, white, and John A.
johnson, colored, is at last over, the
former having been knocked out yes
terday at Reno, New, by his sable an
tagonist. The negro is now posing as
the champion of the world. J%cffries,
it seems. was not in it' from start to
finish. Thousands OF dollars changed
hands as the result of the fight and
racial hatred has been greatly emblt-
tered, thereby. While many members
of the white race were hoping that JEFF
fries would prove victorious, it was no
surprise to them to learn Of his humil'
iating fate, as those in position to size
the matter up did not believe from the
first that he had any show in the ring
with the negro Several months ago a
preacher compared Johnson to Goliath,
who il the olden time deiied the camp
of Israel. The minister looked upon
.Jeffries as the David who would smlte
''tlle sable gorilla who was defying
the human race. The Philistine is still
inviting some one TO enter the arena
with him. Aspirants for pugllistic
honors will be cautious for some time,
at least when they realize Jeffries'
fate, who it seems had about as much
show with the hurley negro as he
would have had with a full grown CHM
panzee with its long reach and supple
ness. Such gladiatorial encounters are
distateful to a large percentage OF the
human race, especially when they mar
a day which should be dear to every
American. Whittier are we drifting
