STEEL TRUST PROSECUTION, PROBABLY.

in private possession of the government an elaborate repoft on II
United States Steel Corporation which has been three years IN
preparation by the commissioner of corporations, and after MT.
Taft has examined the report, as well as a report OF an mNestsa-
ton by the department of justice, ordered by President hooseVeit,
4 prosecution of the trust will be taken into consideration. The
government is up to its ears in other trust prosecutions, and s faf
the results Of all that it has done in that direction are practically
nothing. But who can tell? At least the big trusts al be kept on
the move. and they can be harassed, and the peace of mind of their
officers can be broken into. even though the prosecution is unayall
ing and the. trust goes on forever.

PECPEA7YoN PLACES ON NEWARK BAY.

eTra HE people of Newark have never had any benefit of the New
ark bay front because of the character of its approaches.
With the noisome meadows filled in, the shore front bulk
headed and the bay waters deepened for commerce, the bay will
be made attractive for the public, and the grateful GOODNESS at the
shore will be appreciated on hot summer days and nights. The
scheme of municipal development of the meadows and bay front
must necessarily include public breathing places. There will be
ample room for commerce, while allowing space for public pa
yilions. New York has devoted a number of public piers on the
North and East rivers to public recreation purposes, after having
for years excluded the public from this property. Newark should
establish recreation piers at the outset and make sure that the
people may have all the benefit of access to the bay.

No HELP From TAFT's TARIFF BOARD.

TT INFORMATION about the wool industry possessed by Mr.. Tafts
tariff board was grudgingly and inadequately given to the
House ways and means committee by the board. The commit
tee says in it's report to the House that sin conference with and
under the sole control of the President the members OF the board
hold that they shall be the sole judges as to what part of the data
they collect may be likely to be of use for purposes of legislation
This board was created by the last Congress for the alleged pur.
pose of procuring reductions in the tariff, and, under the control
Of the President it puts impediments in the way of an attempt to
reform the most ubiquitous schedule of the tariff. Is it possible that
the same board is preparing data for those who are opposed to
wool tariff reform? Is sos could the people have . better proof of
the hypQerisy that SUGGESTED the creation Of this board2

MEHRscHAuM PRICE STILL HIGH.

The price of -meerschaum, which. four
years ago rose 40 per cent? still re-
mains high, but importers of the article
deny that any scarcity exists. The
high price is due, they say, to the grow
ing demand in the United States, where
of late years there has been a tendency
among smokers to discard cigars in
favor of a pipe. Vienna is the great
wholesale market for meerschaum, and
most of the supply is brought there
from Constantinople.

ETTER BE- LEtT To pRIVATE ENTERPRLsE.

rs RECOMMENDATION that the site of "Dreamland' and other
IN places at Coney Island, wiped out by the recent fire, be
purchased and converted into a public park is 10 be made
Ivy the park committee of the New York Board of Aldermen. 1t
is doubtful if a public park would be as attractive and pleasure Civ,
ing as the ornate features provided by private enterprise. The
island is unique in that respect. A seaside resort is essentially of a
different character from a municipal park. Comparatively few of
the population of Manhattan go to Central Park or Bronx Park or
Pelham Park, while half a million people are found at Coney Island
on a Saturday or Sunday, Private enterprise under proper regula-
tons is best for the resort.

the fare to Coney Island from all parts of Manhattan will be five

resort for ten cents, including the tunnel fare, and with only one
change of ears at the McAdoo terminal at Cortlandt street. The

is pointed to by prosecution as the mo-
tive for the crime.
Before beginning to examine Mrs.
Binford, however, Special Prosecutor
Wendenburg asked the permission OF
the court to take the jury out to view
the auto, in which the woman was
killed.
Judge Watson ordered that the car
be brought from the shed where it is
housed. Wendenburg asked that the
jury be instructed to look particularly
for indications that blood could have
dripped through the car to the road.
Judge Watson instructed the jury SIM
ply to examine the car carefully in
every particular.
While waiting for the machine to be
brought the prosecution called W. A.
brown, who identified shotgun shelf
which he found a few feet from the
spot where Mrs. Beattie was shot few
days alter the murder.
When Brown had concluded the
prisoner, counsel, the court and the
Jury were taken out to view the blood
soaked automobile, gruesome evidence
of the awful crime.
The examination Of the car conclud-
ed the prosecutions line OF evidence
calculated to show that Mrs. Beattie
was murdered 10 the road and not in
the machine. The condition of the
bloodstains on the car were expected by
the lawyers OF the prosecution to show
that the blood spots in the road could
not have leaked through the car and
that therefore the woman was outsid e
the car when she was killed.
A new witness who has been keps
in the back ground by the prosecu-
ton became known today. He is
negro waiter named Wilks. Wilks
walked along the Midlothian turnpike
from the Ovens home to several
hundred wards beyond the scene OF
the murder short time before the
killing. He was passed by the Beattie
automobile bound out. Just after be
turned off the turnpike he heard the
fatal shot. Wilke saw no human being
walking on Midlothian turnpike and bY
him the prosecution expects to estab-
lish the faIsity of Henry Beattie's story
of the bearded man. They calm that
if such man was at the spot where
where Beattie says he was held, Wllks
would certainly have seen him.
