Protection Of Womanhood Has Over
Swallowed Necessity of Protecting Men

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The agitation OF the horrible ques-
ton Of wrongs done to women and girls
in nomlnally civilized countries cannot
be carried too far, nor can the evil be too
severely denounced or too vigorously dealt
with,
But do not let It be forgotten that the
young men as well as the young women
OF this country need protection. And no
class OF them need II more than the young
travelling statesmen. Few people perhaps
realize the temptations and dangers TO
which this largo class OF wanderers and
involuntary exiles from home are subject
ed, III these were appreciated. far more
would be done TO safeguard and help our
Youths and men who spend so much OF
their time ION the road" They seem to
be regarded by evil women as lawful

woman to present herself at the side OF
young man taking tickets for long trip
and insnuatingly suggest herself as a
pleasant companion.
Legislation and widespread reform are
needed, but there are immediate and SIM
which the good people Of every community
always have at hand.

CHAUFFEUR CASUALTIES.

One of the most impressive indict-
meutS Of autOmobilists' careleSsneSs
appears in a statistical report which
| has recently been made by one of the
| largest of the companies engaged in the
/ business Of insurance against accidents
According to its figures, from 1902 TO
! 1906 only 30 per cent of the claims for
indemnity which were presented by or
in behalf Of its poliCyholders were on
account Of automobile accidents. In
| 1907 the percentage rose to 5.3, IN 1908
to 6.5, I'm 1909 to LA, in 1910 TO al
and in 1911 to 21.S. There is reason
| for surprising that the statistics OF
other insurance companies would show
similar results. If so, the conclusion
is that nearly a quarter perhaps this
year nearly one-third, Of casualties are
attributable to the use or misuse Of
automobile vehicles
1t may, Of course, be that these fig
ures are somewhat misleading; for
example, because users Of automobiles
have more generally taken TO insuring
! themselves against casualties than
other people Yet with all due allow
ance for such conditions, the proper
| ton Of casualties chargeable TO motor
| vehicles, or rather to their drivers, Is
appallingly and discreditably large.
We prefer to consider the drivers re-
sponsible rather than the machines,
because in the vast majority Of cases
the trouble is caused by reckless speed
ing or other misuse Of the cars. And
even when It is said that the car skid
ded, or the steering gear would not
work, or the brake failed, or tire
burst and upset the car, the fact gener-
ally is that such failure Of the mechan-
ism either was caused by misuse or
would not have been disastrous had not
the car at the time been going at an
unsafe speed.
The makers Of the cars have on the
whole done their work well, as Of
course it is manifestly TO their com
mercial advantage to do. The respon-
sibility rests with the chauffeurs, or
with their employers and directors, and
it is to them that remedial measures
must be applied. 1t is good thing TO
have the law impose heavy penalties
for manslaughter with motor cars, and
to regard as thief the unfaithful
chauffeur who takes his employers car
out clandestinely. But these things are
not enough. There is urgent need Of
the application of the power of public
opinion for the exclusion from employ
ment of chauffeurs who have shown
their unwOrthiness to serve. This
force and every other legitimate and
available influence should be brought
TO bear against practices which are be-

Furnishing WITNESSES.

The offence of Police Lieutenant
Stanton, who has just been dlsmiSseu
from the force, appears to have DeeD
telling the aldermanic investigators
things that were embarrassing 10 Tue
administration. He had been in charge
of the investigating bureau at heau-
quarters and knew the facts about the
crooks and cutthrOats who have been
appointed to the force in pursuance OF
the policy Of indicating Mr.. Creel-
mans system OF picking out men lit
for appointment, which had been I'm
pugned by former Police Commissioner
Cropsey. Lieutenant Stanton was
summoned as a witness and did his
plain duty in telling what he had
learned about the candidates for APP
pointment which had led to their reJec-
ton by Mr.. Cropsey.
The result was that charge OF at
tempted eXtOrtiOn was brought against
him. The alleged attempt took place
nearly three years ago and no COM
plant was made of 1t until Lieutenant
Stanton had offended by telling some
unpleasant truths. The evidence on
which he was dismissed is about as
impressive as was that upon which In
spector Hayes was dismissed short
time ago after similarly mourning tie
displeasure of his superiors. Any one
on the force who aids the police IN
vestigators will suffer. That is the
warning these cases convey.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Business on the New York Stock EN-
change during the last week has con-
tinued to be affected by the further
foreign liquidation, due to a developing
crisis in the Balkan situation. The vol
ume OF American securities sold abroad
has been reduced gradually. and on
some days during the week there have
been buying orders IN the London mar
ket, which have had stimulating CT
feet here. Movements Of prices on the
average have not shown depressing
tendency: on the contrary, a marked
degree Of optimism has been shown
by the purchasing power Of the mar
ket and the limitations Of the bear side.
The temporary view Of the market
must be accepted as hopeful, but per-
manent Improvement is questionable,
as the gradually increasing money de-
mands for commercial purposes and
the approaching Presidential election
may check the energy OF transactions.
Aside from the Investment field, other
lines of business show a broadening
activity, almost improbable, consider
ing the dulness Of the last few years
and the fact that this is Presidential
election year Repeating each week the
reports Of progress in the steel and
iron trade would appear to be more OF
a desultory recital than n record Of
fact, but the flow of daily orders to
various branches of the steel and iron
industries at the end of each week
shows AN increasing tonnage that must
be accepted as marked development
of the steel trade. Not only should the
weekly gain In specified orders be con-
sidered, but also a large volume Of
estimates calling for specifications
which are turned down by both the
United States Steel Corporation and
the larger independents. SO there APP
pears to be small prospect OF cessa-
ton Of mill activity in steel production
for many months to come. The sug-
gested opportunity for speculative
profits in steel products Is being guard
ed against by both the manufacturers
and the purchasers. The requirements
OF the railroads are large, owing to the

midas NEW CAPITAL.

The present month has seen the sub
stantial completion of the transfer OF
the capital of the Indian Empire from
Calcutta TO Delhi, a change which may
prove to be ms important politically as
It is interesting from the historical
and sentimental points OF view. De
spite its name-Calcutta, Kalikata,
Kali-ghat, the Shrine Of the Goddess
Kali or Devi, the wife Of Siva-the
Bengal metropolis is essentially mod
ern and alien to India II was not found
ed until 1886, and then by the British
East India Company, and 1t has
grown to its present vast and splendld
estate as the central feature OF the
development Of British interests ana
power in Hindustan. But apart from
the pride which the commercial minded
Rengalis take in it's material great
ness. Il stands, as II has ever STOOD
apart and aloof from the genius OF
the Indian peoples; perhaps for that
very reason the more appropriate and
the more available for the seat or
alien British power.
Delhi. the Punjabl metropolis, on the
other hand, has been conspicuously as
ISOLATED with Indian history in all It's
mutations for more than twenty cen
turtles. II was the capital OF the
Pathan Empire and also Of the Mogui,
and while It may he rivalled in some
particulars by Bcnares, Agra and other
cities, Il IS on the whole probably re-
garded with more respect and rever-
ence. on political IL not on religious
grounds, by all the nations Of India
than any other place. Its restoration
ms the chief seat Of government Is
likely 10 impress the Indian people
with q greater degree OF loyalty 10
their Emperor and TO make their gov
eminent seem to them more Indian
and less British. That any Odious
jealousy or rivalry will arise between
Bengal and the Punjab on It's account
is scarcely to be feared, particularly
since the government has prudentiy
adopted the American example In
creating a small imperial commission
ership or province surrounding the
new capital, so that Delhi IS no longer
in the Punlab, but in a separate state
lying between the Punjab and the
United Provinces.
The practical advantages Of the new
capital will he great. It's situation is
more central than that Of Calcutta, and
thus II Is more accessible from all
parts Of the empire. It's climate Is
UNNECESSARILY superior to that Of Cal
cutta, and It is in comparative pro1im-
ity to Simla and the Hills. In magni-
tude and splendor the old city Of Delhi
is not unworthy to be an imperial capi-
tai. while the new city which Is swift
" rising into being at the west Will be
all that the combined skill and munifi-
cence of both Europe and Asia can
make It.

In the money markets the week has

from the interior were made on New
York than during the week previous.
The foreign money situation has been
under considerable strain and Euro
pean institutions have shown a dis
posltion to conserve their credits. Dis
counts abroad during the week as
rule were advanced; the Bank OF Bel
GUM made the initial move by in
creasing its rate from to D per cent.
The Bank of England followed with
an advance to per cent and the
Bank OF France from per cent to ga
per cent Banks Of several other coun-
tries also advanced their rates, al
though the Imperial Bank Of Germany
did not. II is practically certain, how
ever, that the German institution VIII

weekly return OF the Imperial Bank or
Germany this last week was particu-

circulation. The Bank Of England
made favorable return compared
with the same period year ago. The
Bank OF France reported loss OF both

with 1911 the showing was not dis
