EDITOR EVENING NEWS:

ELL YIN T. v L1NllNb Il
In a recent Issue of your valuable
paper a communication signed by
the vice president and secretary Of
the Polish community seems to ex-
press the true sentiments of every
loyal citizen on that oft-discussed
question of duty. The above men
toned officers Of the Polish commu-
nifty only seem to express the true
sentiments, for though they COM
mend Mr.. Jensen for performing his
duties faithfully, they assume that
the complaints against Mr.. Jensen
have arisen from that fact. They
were surprised-and indeed, 1t
seems to me, all citizens might we'll
be surprised-"to hear complaints
against Mr.. Jensen in reference to
the performing of his duties (well
done) as a patrolman."
Thus far Patrolman Jensen has
strictly enforced the laws regarding
the blocking Of sidewalks, speeding,
etc. Such an insignificant matter as
violating the Sunday liquor selling
laws is of no particular moment at
the present time and, of course, may
be totally disregarded. Consequent

for doing his duty, v e though he
makes himself obnoxious to the mer-
chants and shopkeepers on his beat
This, indeed, may be a reason why
the merchants and shopkeepers
might wish to have Patrolman Jen-
sen removed from their vicinity
But would they try to accomplish
this cherished result by complaints
against Mr.. Jensen in reference tc
the performing of his duties (well
done) as a patrolman?" NO, they
must find a more substantial basis
than the fact that a man performs
his duties faithfully.
In the complaint submitted
against officer Jensen by Mr.. Avcher
the merchants and shopkeepers. anc
every interested citizen Of Peril
Amboy, seem to have secured a sub
stantial basis for bringing serious
charges against Mr.. Jensen. Are
these charges true, or are they the
outgrowth OF Mr.. Jensen's obnox
i~ousness to the merchants and shop
keepers on his beat? Is Mr.. Jensen
innocent of exceeding his authority
Is Mr.. Avchen making false charges
against q faithful guardian OF thu

Stock Market Panicy.

STOCK Market Fancy.
Special BY United Press Wire.
London, Oct. 12.-Because Of the
panicy selling on European continent
tai bourses the stock market today
slumped heavily. The unfavorable-
ness of the Balkan outlook was
given as the cause. The fact that
the Balkan nations reply to the pow
ers' plea for peace, ~momentarily ex-
pected, would in all probability de-
clase that an amicable settlement was
impossible, did not intend to allay
the panicy feeling.

and / must tell you exactly what think

truth.
II am opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt, first,
because of the character of the cam

Il am opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt also
beeause-and that is more serious than
the other-because of the unsound. un-
constitutional views that he has held and
that he promises to put into state consti-
tutions. and If he puts them into state
constitutions they necessarily win go
into federal constitutions.
Your rights and mine depend upon
the constitution.
And, finally, l am opposed to him be-
cause his nomination will be a departure
from a tradition that has been recog-
nized by Washington, by Jefferson, by
jackson. by Lincoln by Mckinley, and
was preserved in the case of Grant be-
cause the people were against the Will of
Grants friends, and has been approved

by him in 1905. Now, l appeal from
Theodore Roosevelt now. to Theodore
Roosevelt then. l appeal in the

which he commended me TO the
American people, so eulogistic. so super
lative that I cannot read them now With
out blushing, and ] say that both with
respect to his opinion of me and with
respect to the constitutional question, or
rather the traditional question of two
terms, that his judgment was very much
s9under than it is now and that If you
depart from that tradition and give him
third term there is not the slightest
reason at all why YOU should not give
him fourth term, and il a fourth term
then the barriers are all broken down,

Yankee Coastwise Vessels May Pass
Panama Canal Without Charge.

Washington, May 23.-By a ote of
147 to 126 the House, today, reafiirrn-
ed its decision that no toll should be
charged American vessels engaged in
coastwise trade for passage through
the Panama canal. The provision was
bitterly fought and the result was re-
ceiyed with cheers.
The canal government bill eventual
ly was passed 206 to 61. Representa-
tive Broussard of Louisiana sought to
amend the provision prohibiting rail
roads from operating vessels in conf
petition with their own lines. The
amendment would have made such
prohibition apply specifically TO the
traffic through the Panama canal
A plea for free passage of ships in
the Panama canal was made To the
Senate committee on interoceanic caS
nails, today, by Capt Robert Dollar
of san Francisco, head of the Dollar
Steamship Co. He said that Congress
should take this step with view 10
rehabiitating the American mercan-
tile marine. A provision of the House
bill, he said, for toll of 81 on each
net registered ton would have de-
pressing influence on the canal COM
merce. Capt Dollar declared that
the shipping people generally believed
the Pacific Mail and the American
Hawaiian Steamship Cos. would get
together, reduce their rates and stifie
competition in order to put out OF ex-
istence small steamship lines. after
which the rates would be increased

holders of the Rutland Railroad Co,
for an Injunction restraining the New
York, New Haven a Hartford Railroad
frnm taking over control of the Rut-
land from the New York Central. At
terney Edward .. Robbins, chief
counsel for the New Haven. said that
the New Haven wanted the majority
stock Of the Rutland only because the
Rutland was necessary link for the
New Haven by which to get into Cana
da from Boston.
1t was a protective move by the New
Haven. the attorney said. because OF
the fact that the Grand Trunk and the
Canadian Pacific roads were planning
to make Boston q terminus for their
trans continental lines.
Samuel Cntermyer, appearing as at
torney for the minority stockholders.
brought out this declaration by the
stateraent that the New Haven already
controlled the Boston & Maine and
wanted to control the Rutland for the
purpose OF keeping the Grand Trunk
or the Canadian Pacific roads from ac-
qnirng the possession of the Rntland.
which would give these two roads an
entry into Boston. The Boston & Maine,
Mr.. Untermyer contended. controlled
all other railroad approaches to Boston
except the Rutland.
