THE BRITISH INVESTIGATIONS.

The British investigation in the case
Of the Titanic vindicates the American.
: The lines on which II is to be conducted
are closely similar to those which were
pursued by the Senate committee, md
the three points which the British At
torney General chiefly emphasized in his
opening address were identical with
: those which have been most put forward
! here. These relate respectively 10 the
construction. the equipment and the
fsana cement of the ship, and they seem
10 be fundamental to the whole question
of responsibility for the tragedy.
The first point, in logical order, on
which the British Attorney General
wants information IS that concerning
the construction Of the watertight COM
partnents. It is obvious that these
failed to fulfil their purpose. Why?
Mr.. Ismay's remarks the other day sus-
gested that the bulkheads did not rise
high enough, not reaching the level Of
the water line. As there is no indica-
ton that the ship was 50 crumpled or
racked by the shock Of collision tis to
prevent the bulkhead doors from being
closed. the presumption Is strong that
the bullheads themselves were faulty
. designed or constructed. At any rate, 1t
Is pertinent TO inquire when watertight
compartment is or is not watertiGht.
The second point deals with equip
ment. The Attorney General has been
Informed that the passenger capacity or
the lifeboats was less than one-third OF
that of the ship. He wants to know
something about that state OF affairs.
whether the number Of boats was con-
efdered sufficient, and why. He will also
inquire IL the ship was provided with
searchlights and the lookout men With
binoculars, and If not why not, and viii
. put various other searching and peril
nent questions concerning the equipment
of the ship. Finally. there is the ques-
fion Of conduct Were there drills Of
; the boat crews? How fast was the ship
running? To which of the officers was
impaired the news that there was dan
gerous ice ahead? And why was not
the precaution taken OF lessening the
speed Of the ship when, after dark. she
entered the region Of ice?
There are other questions TO be asked.
chiefly supplementary but on these will
chiefly hang the determination Of the
case. In short, the British view OF the
matter comedies almost precisely with
The American: Of course. not as the re-
suit OF design. The British inquest vii!
be conducted just as though there had
been none In this country. And that

VALIDITY OF PRIMARY VOTES.

For Theodore Roosevelt" This ballot was

voter expressed thereby his Presidential
preference?
know of many others WHO voted In the
same way and many who didn't vote at all
because they were told that there was no
legitimate means of voting for Mr.. Roose-
welt on the ballot. According TO common
sense should our votes not have been count
ed as well az those In Massachusetts which
were not quite IN accordance with the let

PROGRESS OF THE STAY-4-WHILE.

The decision Of the Appellate DIVISION
in Brooklyn seems to make necessary
the bearing of Hydes habeds corpus
application In this county. That is as
II should be, for no excuse would exist
for dragging the public prosecutor 10
other parts Of the state to answer ac-
tons which might just as easily be
brought in his own county. If this de-
cisien does not establish this rule. and
there Is some doubt as 10 just what
the Brooklyn judges meant, then the
habeas corpus act ought TO be so amend
ed as to make writ in II case where
criminal charges await trial returnable
In the judicial district where the case
in which the writ Is obtained is triable.
The habeds corpus writ was intended TO
prevent injustice being done, not to OBJ
struct the processes Of justice.
The decision naturally suits the pur-
poses of Hyde. whether it was a victory
or defeat for him. II has already been
the occasion of some delay and viii be
means TO more. The Stay-a-Whlle
litlgant finds the courses of the law as
well suited to his leisurely progress a
the Everglades Of Florida.
