Deepening the Murder Mystery.

Public interest in the New York murder
which has involved the metro
politan police department in the greatest
scandal in its entire history. had tagged
for a few weeks when it was
suddenly revived by the killing, Saturday
night, of big Jack Zelig, one of the
gangmen needed as a witness in the case
against former Police Lieut. Becker
Ordinarily the Staying of a man like Zelig
who had made many enemies in the
course of his career of blackmail and ex-
tortion would not attract any particular
attention, but the close connection of
Zelig with the Becker-Rosenthal tragedy
has made ii a matter of sensational i'm
portance. The prosecution against Becker
in that it was expected that Zelig would
be able to show that through Becker's in
fluence certain gangmen in New York
were held in state of subjection to the
police by the threat of the framing up
of charges of weapon carrying against
them. Two members of the police force
against whom Zelig had brought charges
of this character will, through his death,
be released from accusation and thus
made free to testify in behalf of Becker
whereas with Zelig living they could not
take the stand as his witnesses. This
fact is naturally being noted at present
as having a possible bearing upon Zelig's $
killing. but the police are endeavoring to
establish the guilt of his assassin, who
has been captured and who confesses the
crime. as an act of personal vengeance
without any connection whatever with
the Rosenthal assassination. A signifi-
cant complication is presented in the
statement by Zeligs slayer that already
in the Tombs prison his life has been at

tempted by Shapiro. the driver of the So
called murder motor OIL the night of RO-
senthars assassination. the suggestion be-
ing that 1t Is thought he may know more
than has appeared in the case and that
he is feared as a possible witness in the
crime Of larger Importance. The whole
situation is confused and complicated. and
there is danger that with so many side
issues and tangents the case may fail to
develop to the desired point of insuring
wholesale housecleaning in the New
York police department and the establish
ment of sound principles of municipal
honesty.

Polluted Boundary Waters.


Pursuant to the provisions of the
waterways treaty of 1909. an inveStiga-
ton is to be begun next month by a joint
commission to ascertain to what extent
and by what causes the boundary waters
between this country and Canada are
polluted. Much of the investigation will
nave to do with pollution as it affects
Niagara Falls. The typhoid rate for the
last ten years has been appalling in that
municipality. even for an American city,
and is undoubtedly due to the pollution
of the Niagara river Considering the
lact that Niagara is visited by many
thousands of persons from all sections OF
the country annually, and that a wide
distribution of disease germs is thus ef-
fected, the question of the Niagara
rivers pollution is a great deal more than
a local one. So. for that matter, is the
question of the pollution of every other
body of water bordering on the interna-
tional line and for this reason the steps
taken by the joint commission to pro-
vide a remedy will be followed with close
attention.

Not much! With the aid Of his machine
Mr.. Taggart dictated the personnel OF
the Indiana delegation to the Baltimore
convention. took the leadership himself
and appeared at the convention booming
Gov. Marshall for President; and it was
that boom which secured for the governor
the nomination for Vice President.
Mr.. Roosevelt is right. And not only is
Gov. Marshall Taggart's man on the ma
tional ticket. but the democratic nope
Of carrying Indiana rests upon Mr.. Tag
gart. He controls absolutely the demo-
cratic machine In the state, and runs 1t
like an expert. And If Wilson and Mar
shall are elected, Mr.. Taggart will be
around with his recommendations on
patronage day. Remember, too. that he
was once a restaurant keeper, and knows
something about cutting a pie.
But how funny was Mr.. Roosevelt's s
fling at Mr.. Wilson. Said he: 1T is
absurd to assume a lofty position OF
morality in the New York fight and at
the same time to have as his running
mate q representative of the Taggart
machine
True enough. But is it any more
absurd than for Mr.. Roosevelt to assume
lofty position Of morality about trusts.
and at the same time have as his leading
adviser and 'anger' George w. Perkins?
To assume lofty position against
bosses. while working with Mr.. Finn in
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Woodruff in New
York, and Mr. Anybody and Mr.. Every
body of the same school of politics else
where? To be lambasting the administra-
tion which only two years ago he pub
licly indorsed and praised to the skies?
Mr.. Wilson, as a new man at the game
of politics. and as a lightning changer
from CIeveandsm to Bryanism. does
look a little queer at times, but not so
abhorrently SO as the man who has played
the game all his life. and now for the
first time in his life is playing it lower
down than any other player in the whole
history of the country.

Roosevelt and Marshall.

Gov Marshall is sensitive on the SUBJ
sect of the Hon. Thomas Taggart In
reply to Mr. Roosevelts taunt that he is
a Taggart man the governor refers to
the fact that two years ago he tackled
Mr.. Taggart on the question of a United
States senatorship and defeated him.
True. The democratic state convention
at Gov. Marshall's instance and against
Mr.. Tag-arts wishes instructed for
senator. But who received the instruc-
tions? John w. Kern. Mr. Taggart' s
friend and attorney. Did that carry an
;su.sh TO Mr.. Taggart's soul? Not much.
The genial eX-chairman of the demo-
cratic natioral committee oiled his. ma
chine, 90; into the game. and e,ected the
legs 'ature which redeemed the state con-
,enticn's instructions

Wages and Accidents.
From the Chicago Tribune.

FrOn the INlCHEO ITIUUHe
high railway official declared the 9TH

20 per cent of railway accidents. AS a
remedy he urged the employment by the
railroads of only competent men. He ad-
vocated federal quiz and government
license of every man who would become
a railroad employe.
The admission that incompetent men
are at present employed and are the
cause of 20 per cent of railway accidents

but competent men be given employment
is sensible The suggestion. however, to

Street Dangers.
From the Springfield Republican.

In the matter of street accidents the
automobile now seems to have taken a
permanent lead. In New York last year
the wagon was still occasionally ahead
but this year 1t drops decisively to second
place In September thirty-six persons
were killed, and of these automobiles
were responsible for eighteen. wagons for
ten, trolley cars for seven. One child was
killed by a bicycle. Fifteen years ago
bicycles seemed alarming: now they are
rather less agitating than child S
''pushmobile'' which is dangerous to
shins If not to life.

Boon would prove any PROPOSE

Walters soon found that he

with him again in August. That
