me case Of the shooting showgirls,"
Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad For
man who was admitted only four
years ago this career is nothing short
of phenomenal Today he has an OPP
portunlty such as falls to the lot of
few lawyers, young or old. His previ-
GUS brilliant work holds out the prom
ise that he will make good.
One Of the most hopeful things about
the "big four in the police graft in
vestigation is that they are all fighters
They will need to be If they buck up
against the System" In New York
city. 1t will not be child's play. Ev-
cry effort will be made to turn the in
quiry into a farce, to withhold testi-
mony, TO block its progress and to COW
er up and whltewash the whole affair
Have these men the moral stamina
and the intellectual ability to thwart
these attempts and TO unearth the
truth? If so they will start a new era
not only In the government Of New
York, but in that of other American
municipalities, for there Is no question
that II they go TO the bottom q mass Of
corruption will be turned up that will
cause revolution In city government.
Already Philadelphia has started a
parallel investigation into her own po-
lice system, Detroit is having an over
hauling Of a slightly different kind, and
other cities will follow
1t is high time. Municipal conditions
| In America have become disgrace and
menace. 1t is charged openly on ev-
cry hand that there exists a working
alliance between criminals and the po-
lice. While the charge Is unquestion-
ably too sweeping, there ls enough
truth n 1t to occasion grave concern.

Goff and the Lexow Inquiry.
Justice John W. GoT, who is te be
the trial judge, was the attorney of
the famous Lexow investigation eight
cen years ago. New York has never for.
gotten the thorough manner In which
he carried on that inquiry, and It has
created universal satisfaction that he
Is to be so prominently identified with
this probe, which promises to go even
deeper than did that Of 1894. Goff has
been a terror to the underworld ever
since that day. He was born IN Ire
land and came to America In boyhood.
He was educated in Cooper Union, read
law and was admitted to the bar In
1870. In 1888 he was made assistant
district attorney and later was the

counsel Of the law association in the
investigation and prosecution Of elec-
ton frauds For twelve years he was
recorder Of the city Of New York and
In 1906 was elected justice Of the
supreme court.
Alderman Curran has had several
bouts with Mayor Gaynor through the
public prints and has not minced
words. 1t was he that demanded an
investigation when Gaynor was as
serting that there was little or no po-
lice corruption. Curran rejoined hotly
through the papers and then got
enough signatures Of aldermen TO com
pei the mayor to call together the
board. The aldermen themselves did
the rest. The investigation was order
ed, and Curran was placed at the head
of it. His next move was to demand
enough money to carry on the inquiry,
and when the mayor refused to call
together the board of estimate to make
the necessary appropriation the alder
man accused him Of trying to block
the inquiry.
A Career and an Opportunity.
The same charge was renewed when
there was an attempt to foist on the
committee an appolntee Of the cor
poratlon counsel as the attorney for
the investigation. The committee It
self called on District Attorney Whit
man to appoint its counsel. Whitman
named one Of his own assistants, EN-
ory Il. Buckner, and 1t is safe to say
that Mr.. Buckner will be the official
attorney of the inquiry. He will at
least If Chairman Curran has anything
to say about IT.
Mr.. Buckner Is TO have free hand.

He will have as great an opportunity
to distinguish himself as did John w
Gofr in the Lexow inquiry or Charles
E. Hughes In the insurance investga-
uon. Buckner is thirty-five years old
and has had n brilliant career. He
hns been in New York only FIVE years
and has been admitted to the bar but
four, and yet he has made an enviable
name as clean, honest, capable and n
hard hitter. He was born in Iowa
and IN the son OF a Methodist minister.
The boys early life was spent in Ne
braska, where he was graduated from
high school and next taught school TO
earn money to put him through col
lege. IL was then that he met the
present Mrs. Buckner, and both re-
solved to make enough money for
college education before they married.
This took pluck, but they won, young
Buckner not only teaching school, but
acting ne court reporter. They en-
tered the University of Nebraska in
1900 and a year later were married.
In 1904 Mr.. Buckner graduated, after
which he entered the Harvard Law
school.
The Same year he was admitted to
the bar, 1908, Mr.. Buckner distinguish
ed himself in a counterfeiting case and
was appointed an assistant in the office
Of the United States district attorney
In the following two years he partici-
pated in the prosecution of the cele-
brated sugar trust cases. In 1910 he
became an assistant to District Attor-
ney Whitman Of the county Of New
York and since then has had charge Of
the prosecutions IN the criminal branch
OF the supreme court, one Of the most
responsible positions before the New
York bar.

The first memorial lighthouse to be erected in the United States is in the course of construction on the shore of Lake Champlain and will com memorate the deeds of the French ex- p.orer. after whom the lake Is named. A lighthouse now stands at Grown Point N. Y, and the determination to make it a memorial of the discov- erer was reached during the course of the tercentenary celebration of the discovery, in 1909. says the Popular Mechanics Magazine There are sev- eral memorial lighthouses in Europe. but none has so far been erected in the United States. The old stone lighthouse at Grown Point was made the basis of the plan which architects were set to work completing. The project provides for the reconstruc- tion of the old light tower in monu- mental form.
