until now we have one of the best

In the State. But we have no de-
sire to stop here. We have no am
hltlor TO accumulate riches nor fill
the office of president. Our only
ainpltlon in life is to make The
rel AID what it ought to be-onc of
the Desl weekly newspapers that ev-
eT calie lrrm printing press
and We cannot do this without your

The Herald must not only measure

weekly newspaper published in The

our Policy, will you do your part
In hleping us to live up to it?
1t is seldom that week ever
passes unless some one rushes in

tlne we are going to press and
handS us long communic2 ton for
publication in the next days issue.
One Of our weaknesses is n fondncss
for accommodating people: nothing
gives us more pleasure than to cX-
tend an accommodation whenever
the opportunity presents itself and
1t is Just as embarrassing to us to
nave to refuse to publish a COM
municatiCn at the last moment as
as it is to the person offering us
the communication fer publications
But our readers must be taken in
TO consideration and we do not feel
that We would be doing nearly D.
900 other persons justice by sending
them The Herald a day later than
1t Is due in order to accommodate
only one person. And that is Just
what it means. After the forms
nave been made ready for the press
ana the papers are ready to be
printed it would mean loss Of
several hours to accept a half col
umn communication and then be
compelled to make up the forms
second time in order to be able
TO provide room for the article. 1t
takes just a certain number of
hours to print, fold and mail the
papers and the forms are always
held open until the last minute. bat
once the forms are closed it is i'm
possible to open them and then get
the papers ready for distribution
at the proper time We trust the
public will bear this in mind and
always send in their communications
not later than II o'clock every
Tuesday.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In view Of the fact that The Star is

Relative to the supplemental. modified
opinion of the acting Attorney General,
which l understand was rendered in COM
pliance with the earnest solicitation Of
the Engineer Commissioner, you state:
Later this was toned down by letter
from the acting Attorney General, which
said that in view of the fact that the
District Of Columbia paid for half the
deed. there is ground for the Commits
sioners' views that the District can use
that strip of land for a property yard or
anything else necessary"
Omission Of Words Alleged.
1t is notorious fact that legal opinions
or legal documents can be materially all
tered by the omission of a single punctua-
ton point. In your quotation from the
opinion OF the acting Attorney General
several very important words were omit
ted, thereby changing the intent and
meaning Of the opinion to such an extent
as to mislead all readers; and as the
above statement has been read by thou
sands who will never see the correct copy
of the opinion In question-including
many members of Congress, whom the
citizens are depending upon to subserve
their rights in this matter. SO important
to them-much damage might result to
our citizens by the statement
therefore respectfully request that
proper corrections be made, and suggest
that as the public has not had an oppor
tunity to see correct copies Of the two
opinions, our citizens would appreciate IT
II you would publish in full. both of
the opinions of the acting Attorney Cen
eral. Yours very truly,

Modified Opinion.

Following is the modified opinion which
was transmitted to the Senate District
committee by Maj. Judson, Engineer Com
missioner Of the District:
"Februry Is, 1911.
"Sir: Referring to your communication
of January 81, 1914, in reference to Senate
joint resolution No. So, in respect to land
ton, D. c., and to departments reply of
January %, 1911. wherein 1t was stated that
the title to the strip OF land decided to the
United States by the Baltimore and Ohio
ruary IL. 1901 al Stat. 77s). is vested in
the United States and under the control
OF Congress, and that 1t would appear
that the Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia have no authority over the same
at the present time other than policing 1t.
l wish to advise you that, as some con-
troversy has arisen about the matter, the
letter OF January rs, 1911. had reference
primarily to the legal title to the land in
question. and was not intended as an ex-
preston OF any formal opinion by this de-
partment upon the question Of the juris-
diction Of the Commissioners over the
pVemises, as the language used. I think.
indicates.
Il may add that. In view of the fact
that one-half Of the consideration named
In the deed to the government was paid
by the District Of Columbia, and that the
railroad company was required by the act
of February IL, 1901. to deliver to the Com
missioners Of the District of Columbia
the deed to the United States for the
property. think there is colorado ground,
at least, for the view taken by the Com
missioners and acted upon by them that
it was intended by Congress that they
should have the custody of the property
until Congress by legislation should 9TH
erwise dispose Of the same.
"A copy Of this letter has been sent to
the Commissioners for the District Of Co
luKnbia.

Hundred Men Working to Rescue
Joseph Clary Who is Under Sew

JOPLIN, MO-, July SI.-With nearly one
third, the depth excavated, the men who
last. night began digging in, an" effort to
rescue Joseph Clary, imprisoned in mine
near here yesterday by cave-in, were
relieved this. morning by other volunteers.
CARY. who is p years old, the son OF a
prominent mine operator, is believed to
be still alive in a runway, seventy feet
below the surface. Efforts to reach the
runway by means OF drill shaft and thus
supply the man with air., has been unsuor
cessful up to u early hour this morning.
over 100 men and boys engaged in the
digging were aided by women who kept
them supplied with food and water.
Clary and another man were at the bot
tom of the mine when the sides began to
cave in. The other man was hoisted to
the top, but when his feet touched the
edge of the mine, the sides fell in with a
roar. 1t is believed Clary- was warned in
time to escape the avalanche and took
safety i'm Tar corner Of the, drift, which
is forty feet long.
When an opening had been made to. the
runway seventy feet. below the surface this
morning, the rescuers discovered that they
had misjudged Clary's location and that
he was inssome other chamber in the mine.
All their work had. been useless and they
immediately began to drill another hole.

RaIlronds' Contention Answered.

The opinion discusses exclusively the
history of combination, indicating its ire
mendous growth in the last few years.
Admission. is made that the railroads have
been put to immense expense in caring
for the service, the record OF the case
shows that the railroads had expended tens
of millions of dollars practically in facili-
ties for handling this traffic. On the
other hand, 1t was shown by the commit
ers that through the medium of commuta-
ton. large and prosperous communities
outside Of New York had sprung into eX-
istence and even now are developing rap
idly TO the profit of the railways not only
from passenger, but from freight traffic
The commission holds, however, that
1.-THE defendants are fairly entitled TO some
recognition of their expenditures and of
the resulting Improvement in the service"
and generally the proposed fares are APP
proved except as to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and other instances mentioned.
AS to the proceedings against the New
York, New Haven Hartford. no action is
taken, as the commission has no adequate
information. In view of the investigation
being made by the New York state COM
mission in.o the Communication fares of the
New York Central, that matter is re-
served.
