ALL CONCERNED A DISGRACE.

TT I is evident that honors of disgrace are easy between Yale
students, the theatre management and the police in the riot
in a New Haven theatre on football night. The management
had advertised a notorious actress, doubled the prices of admis
sion and then cut the show to less than an hour, giving ii perform
ance that would have been dear at a dime. This was prOvoca-
ton, but no excuse, for the students wrecking the interior. Then
the theatre hands turned hose streams of dirty water on innocent
women and children. And the police, with that exquisite discretion
not peculiar to the New Haven article, dubbed and arrested inno-
cent men attracted by the disturbance to the street. The show in
this theatre on football night is always supposed to be Il rough
house" and the management turns it to account. This time it went
too far and a city and a university are slammed.

WILL BEATTYE CONFESS?

cTS HE almost universal belief is that Henry Clay Beattie, to be
electrocuted next Friday at Richmond, Va, for the muir
der of his wife, is guilty of the great crime. 1t is not i'm.
probable that the criminals family share that belief. There is Il
hope that he will confess before he goes to meet his Maker. Now
that his fate is certain, that he must die either by suicide or in
the electric chair, there can be no motive for further denial except
the desire to save the family name, now 81 badly furnished, from
the further disgrace of a confession. And this man is not unequal
to the ordeal of going to his death with a lie on his lips. Other
murderers have done so because they chung to life and believed
that in the last moment they would be reprieved. There is no
such prospect for Beatte. And, Judging by his deneanor during
the trial and after his conviction, he will not confess. He will be
the stole as long as life is left in him.

TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER q, 1911.
A ROOSEVELT BOOM LAUNCHED.

HREWD observers of politics have never doubted that be.
~ fore the close of the present year the figure of Theodore
Roosevelt would be projected on the presidential screen
as candidate to go before the Republican national nominating con
ventlon IN 1872. At Youngstown, O., last night the Roosevelt
candidacy was launched ON behalf of the Ohio rrogressives. The
recent dehverance by Roosevelt has reawakened interest in him
all over the country. 1t prompted this manifestation in Ohio,
which will be followed by similar ones elsewhere. Roosevelt has
declared, and evidently in perfect faith, that he does not desire
the nomination and would, in fact, look upon it in the light of Il
personal calamity. But may not this attitude incline his admirers
more for his nomination?

A TAX VICTORY FOR NEWARK.

m MOTHER signal achievement by the ciys law department is
T7A the setting aside of the judgment of the State Board of
Equalization of Taxes, which overruled the action by the
Newark Tax Board, advised by the city counsel, making bank shares
assessable for tax according to their market value. The Court
of Errors and Appeals has decided i'll favor of the city and against
the findings of the State board. The litigation was begun by the
citys law department about two years ago, and the result is ex-
ceedingly gratifying. 1t benefits all municipalities alike. In New
ark the increased assessment is upward of Il million and IA half,
netting the city an addition of about $4,000 to its tax income.

ORANGE GONG 1T BLIND. TOO.

@RANGE has taken a step that may or may not commit the
W. city to the plans of M0ntclairs mayor for the installation
of the lmhoa sewage disposal system in Beileville and
Bloomfield against the wishes and protests of the two towns.
There are three obstacles to be overcome before this contemplated
INVASION of a neighbours territory to establish Il nuisance can be
possible. One is the passaic Valley Sewerage. Commission, an.
other is the State Board of Health, aud finally the courts. to which
BeleviHe and Bloomfield will Immediately resort, and will receive
the support of the municipalities that have subscribed to the plan
OF a trunk sewer. The outcome. of this attempt by several munich
pahtles that would not tolerate Il sewage disposal plant within
their own borders TO make a sewage back door of two of their
nelghbors looks dubious enough. And when its promoters are
finally discounted what shall they say TO the indignant taxpayers
whom they will have blindly led into Il serious quandary?

GREAT CHANGES DECPEED IN CHINA.

007 HINA, through its National Assembly, has taken two signal
~ steps. The queue is abolished and the Western calendar is
established, to begin with 1912. Thousands of Chinhmen
have already discarded their 'pigtaiIs," the sign of the subsection
Of their race to the cohquering Manchus. The nation Will now
discard it and the pigtail will disappear from the Chinese laundry
in America. With the adoption OF the Western calendar the
Chinese New Year, hoary with tradition, must also go, and the
American Cinnamon, dscarding the hrecracker and other charac-
.terstc obseryances of the national festival, will join in the Ameri-
can celebration of January 1.

Thank STAR for war News.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A meeting of the st. Lucy Club was
held in headquarters recently, and the
principal subject of the evening was
a talk on the Italian-Turkish war. Al
though all Of the members are of ltal-
ian descent, none have relatives living
in the old country, and thus they can
not get information regarding the war
except by the news published in local
papers. They decided to write to the
STAR and thank the editor for his
able and well-written news published
from day to day, giving impartial re-
ports of the wal in which we are
so interested.

CONGESTION IN THE THEATRICAL Market.

@ ONE theatre managers deny tina. the immense vogue of motion
picture shows has hurt the regular drama. But something
has. 1t is said that The theatrical business in America is
at its lowest eb since 1908 and that conditions are growing worse.
In New York the other night sixty actors lat liberty" met at
dinner and some of them were men ordinarily drawing $3.50 a week.
Managers estimate that of the $4,000 players in the country one
third are ont of employment. 1t is evident that the average of
actors salaries will have TO come down. It's destinations serve to
overcrowd the profession. Young men and women of abilities
that could be better employed in some other occupation are at
tracted to the stage, and in such numbers that. there is absolute
congestion in the dramatic labor market. Unfortunately, people
who are trained for the stage are ill adapted to take up some other
occupation, and the lure of the footlights holds them, anyhow.

The burden of taxation alone (notwithstand-
ing the particularly fair attitude of the New
Jersey authorities) us enormou For the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1911, taxes aggregated
S414,588.54. For the present fiscal year, on the
basis of assessments already made, they will
be increased to approximately $478,2 81 50. If
the company was exempt from taxation like
the New York Subway it could continue to
carry passengers for a uniform Scent fare.
Under the circumstances a readjustment of
rates has therefore become necessary.
The tunnel lines between Jersey City, Ho-
boken and Sixth Avenue involve an average
longer haul, and cost decidedly more to con-
struct, than the tunnel lines to downtown New
York. 1t seems, therefore,, reasonable and
logical that In a readjustment of rates the fare
to uptown New York should be more than the
fare to downtown New York.
For these reasons it has been decided to
increase beginning December "a, 1910 the
rate between Jersey City, Hoboken and Sixth
Avenue, or uptown New York, to 7 cents. This
is | cent less than the existing rate Is cents)
by ferry and trolley between the water front
in New Jersey and uptown New York.
The rate from Summit Avenue Station
when opened) to uptown New York will be 7
cents and to downtown New York 5 cents. This
is 8 cents less than the existing rate by ferry
and trolleys from Summit Avenue to uptown
New York, and 3 cents less to downtown New
York.
The present rate of 5 cents between local
stations in New Jersey and between local sta
tons in New York will be maintained.
With this increase in the uptown rate to 7
cents, and with the new service put into opera
ton between Newark and New York, and with
a reasonable growth in traffic over the system,
the Company will earn its fixed charges, with
a reasonable surplus for equipment, renewals
and contingencies.
1t is needless to comment on the fact that
the earning of fixed charges is absolutely
essential to the Company's integrity. The Com
pany is certainly entitled to and must have a
living rate of fare.
1t should be remembered that the New York
City Subway, a far less costly and difficult under
taking, was financed with the credit of the CITY
OF New York, at low rates of interest, and is
exempt from taxation. The Hudson Tunnels,
on the other hand, have been financed by pri-
vate capital, at higher rates of interest, and with
no exemption from taxation. This great sys-
tenn, with all Of its hazards and risks, has
received no financial aid from the State or
Municipal governments on either side of the
Hudson River.
We submit the facts with the hope that the
business of the Company's position will be
recognized, and with the belief that the public
is willing TO support an enterprise that has
been consistently managed from the beginnine
in the public interest.
The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Co. is
now, and has always been, independent. No
railroad company in New Jersey or elsewhere
has ever had any financial interest in this COM
pany or any voice in its management.

President.

Mr.. Vancourt Henniker was not
greatly surprised when Tom Gordon
| asked for a private interview on the
morning following the final closing
down of all the Industries at Gordonia.
Without being in Gordon's conf

duct, the banker had been shrewdly
putting two and two together and ap-
plying the result as a healing plaster
to the stock he had taken as security
for the final loan to Colonel Dubbury.
Il thought, perhaps, you might wish
to buy this stock, Mr. Gordon" he said,
when Tom had stated his business "Of
course, 1t can be arranged, with Mr..
Farley's consent to our anticipating the
maturity of his notes. But with a
genial smile and a glance over his eye
glasses-'Im not sure that we care to
part with 1t. Perhaps some of US would
like to hold it and bid it in"

But the president was already press

summoned the cashier. There was No
time like the present when the fate Of
a considerable bank asset hung on the
notion Of a smiling young man whose
mind might change in the winking of
an eye.
With the Farley stock in his pocket
Tom took room at the Marlboro and
spent the remainder Of that day, and
all the days Of the fortnight following,
wrestling nightly with the lawyers N
winding up the tangled skein of CHA
wassee affairs. Propped in his bed at
Warwick Lodge, the bed he had not
left since the night of violence, Dux-
bury Farley signed everything that
was offered to him, and the obstacles
to a settlement were vanquished, one
by one.
When 1t was all over, Tom began to
draw checks on the small fortune real
ized from the sale of the patents. One
was to Major Dabney, redeeming his
two hundred shares of Chiawassee
Limited at par. Another was to the
order of Ardea Dabney, covering the
Farley shares at valuation based on
the prosperout period before the crash
of 49, With this check In his pocket
he went home-for the first time In
two weeks.
