Lawlessness in New York.

The New York police force will GER
tainly lose all claim to its distinction
of the finest in the world if it does not
bring to a speedy conclusion the present
reign of lawlessness in New York City.
1t seems incredible that in a civilized
community organized gangs of desper-
ate men can openly commit murder and
destroy property without being prompt
ly taken into custody. In New York,
however, this condition exists. Bomb
throwing, gun fights, more than one
man murdered, and half score wound
ed-this is the tragic and inexcusable
record of day.
That such a situation should exist
is an outrage upon society The New
York authorities must not allow it to
continue.

ATTEMPT is MADE
TO KILL PREMIER
Would-be Assassin Shoots from CAL
lery Of Austrian Chamber
Of Deputies.

Vienna, June IAN attempt was made
to assassinate Premier Tisza IN the
Chamber Of Deputies to-day. but failed.
The would-be assassin was Deputy Ko-
vacs, who had been excluded from the
chamber because Of the part he had
taken in political riots. After firing three
shots at Premier Tlsza from the press
gallery, Kovacs turned his weapon upon
himself. committing suicide.
Kovacs had been forbidden to enter
the chamber. In some manner he man
aged to get by the guards to-day and
secreted himself in the press gallery
at the opening Of the session. When
Count 1Tisza appeared upon the speak
er's dais, Kovacs drew a revolver from
his pocket and fired three shots. All went
wild.
The chamber was thrown into an up
roar. Members leaped to the tops of
their desks, attempting to ascertain
where the shots had come from. 9th
ers, fearing a gun fusilIade dove be-
meath their seats. Journalists in the
press gallery leaped upon Kovacs, but
before they could secure the weapon the
excluded deputy had fred a shot into
his body. Death followed in a few min
utes.
Count TIsZa has been the storm center
Of political strife. It was he who was
largely instrumental in holding up the
universal suffrage measure recently
which led TO the declaration Of martial
law in the capital. He was also respon-
sible for the recent passage OF army re-
form bill through second and third read
ing.
Several previous attempts had been
made upon the life of the statesman
Last December he was attacked by a
mob in the streets and missiles were
hurled at him but he escaped.

Lorimer's Last Stand.

The story published in local paper
that the friends of Senator Lorimer
are urging him to resign is not founded
upon facts. It was pointed out that
these friends, who stood by him firmly
after the first investigation and held
him in his seat, for this very reason ap-
prehend embarrassment on their part
if the Senate once more would line up
against Mr.. Lorimer.
We are given to understand that ex-
actly the opposite is the cause of his
friends anxiety. Should Mr.. Lorimer
now resign under fire, every one will be
satisfied and voice the opinion that the
Senator, knowing himself to be actually
guilty of having himself elected to the
Senate by bribery &c, prefers to step
out. in order to Save his face" and avoid
being thrown out of that august body.
Hence his friends urge him to stand out
for his rights to the last ditch and
rather let the Senate find him guilty
and deny him his seat than to have him
resign voluntarily. By fighting to the
last he would place his friends in a po-
sition to be able to stick to their decla-
rstions that they twice voted in his IA
yor because they were convinced of his
innocence.
This sounds more reasonable than the
story published

The Commerce Court.

The Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions has decided to save the Court of
Commerce, which the House committee
tried so hard to abolish by the simple
means Of cutting of its appropriation.
But the $500 expense allowance for
each Judge and the funds for travelling
expenditures were cut out.
This tribunal was created as a sort
of an appeal court from the decisions of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
whose disputed rulings formerly had
been thrown into various Federal courts,
scattered all over this country. In its
behalf it was argued that greater
promptness and unity of action would
be obtained in adjudicating such ques-
tions or in getting them before the Su-
preme Court for settlement, while its
opponents have spoken of it as nullify-
ing the acts of the Interstate Commerce
body. Others have contended that the
new Commerce Court was prejudiced
in favor Of the railroads, because of its
having reversed several decisions of the
Interstate Commission. And when, add
ed to all this, the breath of scandals
yet not proved-was directed at Judge
Archibald, member Of the Commerce
Court condemnation, as usual, was
called down upon all.
We venture to say that the action of
the Senate committee will meet with
praise on the part Of all those who like
fair play and wish to give the Com
merce Court a chance to prove its le-
climate existence and its worth. 1t has
not been established long enough to

POWERFUL LAUNCH
TO PATROL RIVER
Bureau of Navigation to Purchase
Boat for Use of Collector
McKinlay.
CONDITIONS ARE IMPROVED

The untiring efforts OF whiteheld
McKinlay. director OF the port OF
Georgetown to better the conditions
OF river trafic have met with success.
After q lengthy conference with on
cials OF the Bureau of Navigation,
yesterday Mr.. McKinlsy was assured
by that branch of the Department Of
Commerce and Labor that he would be
aided in his crusade against the own
ers OF river craft who violate the river
trafic regulations.
The first step taken by the Bureau
OF Navigation to remedy the evil that
threatens to cause great loss of life
on the Potomac. will be to purchase
for Mr.. McKinlay's use a powerful mo-
torboat, capable OF apprehending the
owner OF the fastest boat on the river,
should he violate the regulations.
VIII Inspect Craft.
This boat will patrol the Potomac
and adjacent waters, and will carry
one ohicer, whose duty It shall be to
enforce rigidly all regulations pertain
ing to the sailing OF large or small
river craft. This oficer also shall be
required to make a regular inspection
Of the smaller craft.
In this way the officials hope to i'm
press upon the owners Of craft that
they must abide by the regulations and
heavy fines will be exacted from all vio-
latOrs.
The efforts OF the collector OF the port
already have met with success, most
of the owners being much impressed by
the conditions as they now exist in re-

phone messages have been received at

Water Your Horses.

Philadelphia has decided to have a
Horse Day" next Monday, June 10, in
order to raise, by public subscription,
the $1,000 needed to establish in that
city ten more horse watering stations,
which the Women's Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
trying to furnish.
To insure the success of such a
movement very little argument should
be required in any city. To see a warm,
thirsty, heavily burdened horse thrust
his nose deep into a tank of reasonably
cool water and quench the burning in
his parched throat with great gulps of
the refreshing and so very needful fluid,
especially during days when the quick
silver, even in shady spots, is trying
its best 10 ooze out Of the top of the
thermometer, is a sight that usually
creates a feeling of sympathetic enjoy
ment in human onlookers. And do not
let us forget that this enjoyment on
the part of the tired and often over
worked horse is no less keen to-day
when the automobile is lifting a good
deal of the load heretofore. carried by
mans noblest friend!"
The horse still occupies an ever
will occupy prominent place in the
affections and activities of man. The
sum of money needed in any city, as
compared with the benefit to be con-
ferred, is a mere pittance. Our fellow
citizens here, where there seems to be
a reasonable provision for our dumb
friends, should not hesitate to aid any
appeal in this direction should the
question ever have to be brought before
the public.

Term of National Committees.

Until the present campaign the method
of choosing the members of the Ma
tional Committees was for the delega-
ton from each State to the National
Convention to select its national COM
mitteeman. But his term of Office did
not begin until after the close of the
convention and it lasted until the end
of the next Presidential convention. The
old National Committee had charge OF
the preliminaries the old national chair
man called the convention to order and
kept control of it, and the new National
Committee. did not meet for the purpose
of organization until after the candi-
dates had been nominated and the plat
form adopted. There was logic in this.
Party welfare demands continuous au-
thority on the part of representative
body, and new committee would be
more in sympathy with the chosen can-
didates than if the members of the Ma
tional Committee had been named long
before it was known who would be the
nominees.
There never has been a challenge Of
the wisdom of this method until fac
tionalists conceived the idea of sup
planting at once with national commit
teemen, elected in State primaries, their
predecessors who four years ago had
been selected to serve until the adjourn
ment of the approaching Chicago con-
vention. The case in point is that of
Mr. Howell, Of Nebraska, who claims
a seat in the old National Committee as
soon as it begins its deliberations in
Chicago. There is no statute to warrant
his contention, for the laws of his own
State, while providing for issuing GER
tihcates to the successful candidates,
fail to set date when their term shall
begin.
To US it is perfectly plain why the
Nebraska law has omitted to do so.
The National Convention is law unto
itself, and no single State Legislature
would presume to dictate to those of all
other States what method should be
adopted to make the terms Of national
committeeman synchronize Had Ne
braska undertaken to dictate to the Ma
tional Committee. which by its consti-
tuition is the sole judge of the qualihca-
tions of its members, it would have
been nothing less than a piece of i'm
pertinence, though of course meaning
less as to results.
Neutral opinion will hold that the Ma
tional Committee should keep Mr..
Howell out of his seat until after the
convention, because, were he and a few
others admitted on similar grounds, it
would destroy the uniformity of the
National Committee term, without serv-
ing any good purpose. We are satisfied
that the Nebraska Legislature did not
aim at what the candidate from that
State is trying to do now, and that the
National Committee will be well within
its rights if it compels Mr. Howell to
wait until his predecessor has served
out the full term for which he was
elected.
