ARE MR.. KNox's FINGERS CROSSED?

There is report of a disagreement between the
State Department and the Department of Justice,
over the prosecution of the American wing of the
Coffee trust. The Secretary of State, Mr. Knox, is
alleged to be disaffected, believing a procedure
which involves the relations of this country, with
friendly power ought to be handled through di-
plomacy.
In this regard there is more seeming warrant for
the view that Solicitor General Lehman expressed
when he said that sovereignty, by going into trade
does not lift its associated traders up the level of
sovereignty but rather dvests itself of the sovereign
attributes and descends to the plane of the transac
tons in which it participates.
Ambassador da Cana mildly protested against
this observation behalf of our Government, and
Secretary Knox is reputed to sympahize with him.
There is reason, however, to suspect that the Secre-
tary had his fingers crossed when he declared him
SELF II is doubtless good business and diplomacy
for the State Department to maintain an amiable
attitude toward Brazil in its sovereign capacity. 1t
is likewise good performance for the Government to
maintain a vigorous and insistent demand that the
laws of the land shall be obeyed by whoever comes
here seeking their protection in trade.

Why the Lab oring Man Is Turning
to Socialism.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
1t does not need a careful observer In
following the trend of politics to ana
lyze and conclude why the great num-
Der, which are counted by the thou
sands of the wage-earners of this coun-
try. are changing their political views
and adopting Socialism. The wage
Garner OF today is not the same man
OF half a century ago. Then he was
classed as one of the bent back and
receding forehead, the man who had no
opinion OF his own, but subject to the
will of the master class. In politics as
well as in the daily vocation he was a
willing beast of burden, subject to the
control of his boss. But a change has
come, his condition has improved; from
the man with the hoe he has broadened
out until today, through education and
trade unionism, he stands forth up
right in form and looking every man
In the face on a broader equality, as
more can he be led to the ballot box
like sheep to the slaughter. He acts as

vote. He has tired of the promises
made by political parties only to be
broken after election. He has seen the
men whom he helped to elect legislate
against his interest IN favor of the
capitalist. whose creed Is gold and his
god mammCn. He has gone 10 both poLt-
ical parties for redress, for better con-
ditions but in vain. He sees the friend

REPORT ON THE TITANIC.

The report which Senator William Alden Smith,
chairman of the subcommittee appointed to invest-
gate the wreck OF the Titanic, submitted to the
Senate yesterday afternoon, was conservative and
dspassionate presentation Of the facts brought out
during the extended inquiry, and public opinion will
support the conclusions embodied in the report.
The captain of the ill-fated vessel, upon whom a
large part of the blame is placed, could make no
further atonement than in forfeiting his life a
penalty for his indiscretion. 1t would be futile as
we'll as ill-natured to assail his memory.
With the captain of the steamer Californian,
whose vessel was within FIVE miles Of the Titanic
when she sank, it is far different The British in
quiry is bringing out facts conhrmaory of the Senate
findings to the effect that the distress rockets of
the disabled steamer were seen by the second officer
of the Californian, who notified the captain of the
fact That no effort was made to render assistance
lends detail to the chapter of horrors which the
public will not forget and of which the British courts
may yet take eognizance. The most appalling tragedy

Suggests q Federal Home For the
Widows Who Draw Pensions.

To the Editor Of The TIMES:
AS your valuable paper Is ever ready
to publish the good wishes for the
benefit of our people, would like to
suggest that Congress provide a home
for widows who are depending on
pensions. Twelve dollars is hardly an
existence, particularly when they are
sick and unable to help themselves.
This idea occurred to me yesterday
after visiting poor widow in the
poor house. Our good Senators ard
Congressman do not know of the
hardships of some of these poor
widows, or they would be only too
willing to help them out. A prosper
Gus, rich, and proud country like this
cannot surely afford to see our heroes
widows die in the poor house. Let us
hear some good writer's views on this
important question touched by my
visit to a sick soldiers widow.

Floating Canoe Hints
Of Fatality on River

The discovery of an unoccupied canoe
containing pillows, paddles, and a mans
coat, floating in the river near the foot
of Thirty-tifth street, led the police TO
believe for a few hours this morning
that three young men who hired the
craft last night at Reynolds boathouse
might have been drowned
Later, however, the owner of the coat
called at the boathouse and explained
that the canoe had been carried away
by the tide.

MEAT FOR NAVY
WAS NOT FILTHY
AND DISEASED
Reason for Rejection Was
That 1t Was Not Up to
Standard.
To the Editor % THE TIMES:

To the Editor % THE TIMES:
In your issue of yesterday, en- tho
editorial page, under the heading "why
the Beef Probe Hurts" you make the
statement that $4,000 pounds of EN-
balmed beef" intended for the mo-
rines sailing for Cuba, was condemned
by the special navy inspectors" after
1t had passed inspection OF the Federal
inspectors In the employ Of the Depart
rnent Of Agriculture. You remark that
II is not Congressional Investigations OF
the meat inspection bureau that hurt
foreign trade, but the persistent CROP
ping out Of such things as the refusal
OF packing-house product by naval in
spectors upon the ground that it ia
''flthy and diseased" Perhaps you will
perhaps also you will give these facts
the same prominence as your editorial
OF yesterday.
There Is an agreement between the
Of Agriculture by which inspectors Of
the Bureau of Animal Industry pass
upon meat offered to the navy as TO
both grade and soundness. These in
spcctions are made as necessary in va
riors parts Of the United states where
the meat IL offered. On May q. 1912,
there was offered at Philadelphia 2l $50
pounds Of beef. This was inspected by
Hugh J. Gallagher and James Kinder
gan. meat inspectors os the Bureau OF
Animal Industry. and 1860 pounds were
rejected because II was bull meat and
very light weight steer meat, which
did not have the shins, hooks, neclss.
ar kidney fat out of. as required by
the navy spscifications. The meat was
rejected by. the inspectors of the Bu-
reah OF Animal Industry for the above
reasons. Although sound and whole
some. It did not comply with the speci-
fications of the Navy Department. II
was not rejected bv special navy in
spectors" as being filthy and dis
cased," as stated and quoted in your
editorial.
The service can stand any amount of
fair investigation. but false and mis-
leading statements, however ,nnocently
published, unless promptly and fairly
corrected, are apt to hurt the service.
Very truly yours,

pathos as it is realized that whatever may have been

have saved every life IL he had responded to the
