Pensions for widows.

To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
1t is a matter of considerable COM
ment among members of the police de-
partment that the law governing the
pension fund should be amended, SO
that when a member dies his family
will receive some benefit from 1t. The
law at present provides that 1 per cent.
of a policeman's salary shall be deduct
ed each month to support the fund.
Yet when he dies, unless his death 's
due to injuries or illness while on duty,
his widow and family do not receive a
penny pension money that he was
forced to contribute. This Is unjust.
In the fire department the law that
controls that pension fund liz just the
opposite. as 1t protects the freman's
family, no matter whether he dies of
injuries or fitness. JUSTICE.

THE ADVANCE OF GERMAN SOCIALISM.

T1 ONFLICTING reports of the German elections give extraordi-
" nary figures OF the Socialist gains, but it is agreed that
Socialism has made Il tremendous advance in the electorate
of the empire. Tomorrow thirty three districts will reballot for
candidates. The Socialist gain to date is fftythree over the mem
bership of the last Reichstag. Ninety nine Socialists have already
been elected. If they make expected gains in tomorrow's election
they may be able to effect Il combination in the new Reichstag to
make an anti government majority. The loss of the Conservatives,
a net loss of thirty seats, shows how the power of privilege has
been weakened in its citadel. Emperor William had the NORTH
cation to see his w royal district saved only by the election of a
Radical with Conservative votes, and that, too, by a bare majority

AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION FOR ITALY.

NAV HILE the Italian campaign in Tripoli drags there is dan
WV ger of Italy being embroned with other European powers.
Recently a serious difference arose with Austria in re-
gard TO attacking the Turkish mainland. Now there is trouble
with France as to the right of Italy to forcibly take passengers off
a French merchant vessel. On tht point France will be unyeld-
ing. Al governments usually are. italy has her hands full in
Tripoi and in her domestic affairs. France has a superior navy
in the Mediterranean and could easily turn the scale in favor of
the Turks, and probably, too, not without popular applause in
Germany. Situated as she is, Italy must needs yield the point.

oa TUBERCULOSIS must have been present for many months in
the herd of cattle on the Burlington county poor farm
when every one of the twenty seven animals is just now
found TO be infected. All must be killed. But how long have these
helpless paupers, most of them old and feeble folk peculiarly
susceptible to disease, been drinking milk laden with the seeds of
consumption? And why is the discovery so late? At the Industrial
School for Coored Youth, at Bordentown. seven of the twelve
cows have been found tuberculous. These are shocking revelations
and afford cumulative evidence that the sanitary administration
of New Jersey is itself hopelessly infected with the tubercles of
laziness and ine6ciency and ought to be doomed to the legislative
without n more ado.

A SURRENDER TO THE WATER-sNAKE.

JERSEY CITY has every reason to wonder at the strange in
oJ consistency, to use a mild characterization, with which the
Board of Works and mayor yesterday handed over the right
of way in the streets to the watersnake for a pipeline connection
with Bayonne. For the men who committed this act had previously
been identified with the cty's opposition to the right of way, had
sanctioned expensive litigation to keep the water snake out and
had just completed the purchase of the Rockaway water plant, one
object of which was a supply of water by dorsey City 10 Bayonne
and other neghbor municipalities. More than this complete stul
ti6cation of local policy and injury TO the city, the act is a blow
at State conservation and an aid to the interests that are at war
with State interests and are scheming to carry out the long cher
ished plan of selling New Jersey water out of the State in defiance
of the State law.

ABOUT MEN/
<sQI&oW

In the Second precinct there are w
patrolmen on the detail squad who are
well known for their industry and
kindness of heart. Their spare time is
spent not in playing pinochle, but in
repairing umbrellas and making fish
hooks. There is not a man on the
force who need go with a broken or
torn umbrella, say Patrolmen Letzelter
and Smith-they are ready to do their
duty to everyone. Captain John E.
Brown can testify as to the skill of
these men.

NO TAFT MIRAGE IN MISSOURI NOW.

N MONG the State delegations that the Taft managers We're

TAX THE FANCY LUXURIES.

IT n the Judgment of the tariff reformers in Congress if there is
one thing that should bear the burden of tariff tax it is i'm
ported fancy soap and other similar toilet articles that cannot
be classed as necessaries. America makes good home made soaps
and perfumes and those who prefer the imported article and have
the money to pay can afford to pay the tariff tax.

ON ANACOST|A
RIVER PROVIDED IN
NEW DISTRICT BILL
Commissioners Urge Early
Action BY Congress to
Save Territory Desired.

With a request for its early enact
ment. the Commissioners sent to
Congress today a bill providing for
the establishment of a highway and
park along the Anacostia river from
the Anacostia bridge to the District
line.
The purpose of the measure Is to ac-
quire for the District all outstanding
private title to lands. to be included
in the Improvement.
The area of the land to be condemned,
the Commissioners say, cannot be deter
mined accurately at this time, as It will
require an examination of title, but II
has a value Of from 500 to $500 an acre,
and possibly 70 per cent Of 1t has q value
of 500 an acre. The total cost of the
land is estimated at approximately
$50 900.
The bill provides that the total cost
of the land to be condemned, together
with all the expenses of survey and con-
demnation, shall be paid from the rev.
enues of the District and assessed as
benefits against the territory between
the District line on the south and east.
Rhode Island avenue on the north and
New eJrsey avenue on the west.
That Congress has the power to Gre
ate an assessment area and provide for
assessments within that area to cover
the cost OF public improvements, has
been decided by the United States Su-
preme Court
Necessity for early action on the
measure" the Commissioners say in a
letter to Senator Gallinger, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee, "is due
TO the fact that operations soon will be
begun on reclaiming the river and fats
from the Anacostia bridge to the Dis
| trict line, and in order that the benefits
oC this reclamation may not be received
by private interests the question Of title
to the abutting shores must be deter
miEed and any outstanding private titles
acquired
When the flats are reclaimed It would
| be the purpose to construct a ROADWAY
| alone the banks and a park within the
reclaimed flats in general accordance
| with the plans of the Mcmillan Park
Commission for this portion of the Dis.
| trict of Columbia"

CATTLE RATE CASE
OPENED, STUBBORN
FIGHT THREATENED
Railroads and Commission
Men Clash Before Com
merce Commission.

Arguments in the important cattle
freight rate case, affecting every rail-
road in the United States, and every
stock raiser and dealer in the Central
and Western States, began before the
Interstate Commerce Commission today
For twenty years the railroads have
granted to shipments of lean and
scrawny stock being shipped from the
Western ranges to the pens of corn
belt farmers fOv fattening for the mar
ket low freight rate aggregatlng 10
per cent of the regular rate on fat
steers being shipped for GlauShterinS.
This rate was granted on the theory
that the railroads thus got Y double
haul on the lean steers, !;nown as
''stOckers' and "feeders,' one haul 10
the fattening pens and another 10 the
stockyards.
" withdrew this rate, putting all cat
tie en- the same rate, out the new rat"
was held up by an lnNestGauoh orucl
Of the commission.
Practically all the city cattle eX,
changes in the country at once charged
the railroads with attempting TO Brat
the profits of cattle brokers now derlV'
ing large commissions by placing con-
signments of stoCkers and feeders with
corn belt farmers for fattening' the
commissions being paid by the western
ldnBeIS NllO ldlSS lllS ISSuSi - va
| calves.
The railroads partly admitted the trutf
| of this charge by claiming In the near
! ings that the withdrawal of the low
| rate will have the effect of causing
raisers to ship directly to the fattener'
| instead of to the commission men in th'
| cities.
The South ST. Paul Live Stock EX
| change in its petition asserted that near
: ly half of the cattle business of st
| Paul is in handling these consignment
| of steers for fattening. Other inter
veners protesting against the advanc,
are the Sioux City Omaha, Chicago
and the st. Joseph Live Stock EX
| changes the National Wool Growers
Association, and many State RAILROAD
| commissions.
The Corn Belt Meat Producers AS

rates on stockeTs and feeders have bull
up the live stock business, promoted tn
