ONCE MORE, SOLICITOR M'CABE.

The House Committee on Expenditures in the
Agricultural Department is looking into the Nelson
resolution for inquiry into meat inspection. This
is the same committee that sat on the famous Wiley
McCabe affair and produced verdict that DR.. Wiley
had done no harm, and that Mr.. McCabe was a nice
man. sloppy, milk -and-water verdict that disgusted
everybody who knew anything about the case.
Now, it develops, the same committee is acting
as il it were fearful it might find something to the
discredit of the meat inspection service. The att
tude and lineup of the committeeman, judged by the
tone, manner and direction of questions, is just what
il was in the Wiley case The same elements that
in the former case seemed determined to try the
witnesses instead of the case are showing the same
disposition again.
Solicitor McCabe, of the Department of Agri
culture, is cross-examning persons who appear to
urge passage of the resolution He is conducting
defense Of the department at time when the just
fcation for such a defense being received is not at
all apparent. The present proceeding is not trial
of the department 1t is rather in the nature of
grand jury investigation, and there is no obvious rea
son why counsel for the department should be put
ting in its defense. reputable member or the
House. demanding an inquiry, and his witnesses are
confronted with lawyers technicalities and objec
tions, while, on the other hand they have no counsel
Of their own.
If the department has nothing to conceal and
nothing to fear from investigation, it ought not to
be protesting against the passage of the resolution.
Rather it should welcome the chance to silence any
charges. The activity and zeal Of Mr.. McCabe are
calculated to give a bad impression to the public.
Speaking broadly, Mr.. McCabe does not enjoy such
fund Of public confidence as to prejudice in favor
of the side he so enthusiastically espouses in this
sort of an affair.

Inquiry In London Into tt
tanic Disaster Con-
tinues Slowly.

LONDON, May s.-That lives were un-

liner Titanic went down off the New
England coast because partially filled
lifeboats did not return to the scene OF
the disaster to pick up survivors, was
brought out in the government inquiry
In London Scottish Drill Hall today
Night Watchman johnson, of the IT.
tanic, was called to the stand as the
first witness. He was interrogated by
Lord Mersey, the presiding Judge, and
by counsel.
Upon examination by A. T. Rowlatt,
junior counsel for the treasury depart
ment, Johnson said that the boat of
which he had charge was three-quarters
OF a mile from the Titanic when she
took her final plunge.
Johnson said that there were no wom-
en- near his boat when II was lowered.
Some of che women passengers, he said,
had refused to enter the boats.
''Mr. Ismay" said the Witness refer

tor of the International Mercantile Mar

boat deck. He tried to persuade the
women to enter the boats and save

Ismay was still on the boat deck en-
gagged in rescue work"
John Dillon, trimmer, was the next
witness. He denied that the doors of
the water-tight compartments were out
of order. He said they were closed just
after the collision.

in FAIRNESS TO JUDGE SLOAN.

In the bitterness of partisan controversy very
grave charges have been made against Judge Rich
ard E. Sloan, nominated for the Federal bench in
Arizona. There is reason to believe that in some of
these charges at least, Judge Sloan has been done
injustice, and The Times, having heretofore given
credence to them, feels under obligation of fairness
to present the other side of the case.
Before printing its recent comments on the case
The Times submitted statement of the alleged
facts, which has been extensively printed to Senator
Ashurst of Arizona who approved it as an accurate
summary of the record in the case. On behalf of
Judge Sloan it is stated that this was in truth an
unfair and exaggerated msstatement. 1t dealt with
the trial before Judge Sloan of one Thomas, Pull
man porter charged with attempted assault on a
woman passenger. Judge Sloan sentenced Thomas
to ten years in prison and denied new trial, which
later the Territorial supreme court ordered. The
case was called in open court before Judge Sloan,
Thomas being ready for trial. while the prosecution
was unable to secure its witnesses. After effort to
get them and toward the end of the term the prose-
cutor moved to dismiss: He pointed out that on the
first trial. with all witnesses present, the case had not
been made sufficient to convince the supreme court;
therefore, it would be useless to expect conviction
that would be sustained with much of the evidence
dropped out In these circumstances the court grant
ed the motion to dismiss. 1t is declared on the best
authority that there activity the part of the
railroad or Pullman Company to secure this deter
mination, that undue haste marked the removal of
the discharged negro from the State, and that the
lawyers on both sides have so certified.
A member of the Senate Judiciary Committee
after examination of the record of decisions in South
ern Pacific railroad before Judge Soan states
that they demonstrate that, far from being rail
road judge" they present Judge Sloan very in,
dependent and fair jurst, who in various cases de-
cided against the company under circumstances ir
which railroad judge could very easily have just
fed himself in giving the corporation the decision.
Senator Ashurst it may be added, though he is
now bitterly opposing Sloan's confirmation, was
member of the Northern Arizona Bar Association
committee that in 1909 signed resolutions strongly
commencing Judge Sloans judicial service at the
time when he leaving the bench to become gov
ernor of the Territory

THE CASE OF JUDGE ARCHIBALD.

The Judiciary Committee of the House is invest-
eating Judge Robert w. Archibald, of the Court Of
Commerce. Edward j. Williams testifes that in part
nership with Judge Archibald he sought option
of dump of culrn, or Coal mine refuse from the
Erie railroad He expected to get the cum at very
low price and sell at handsome profit, half of which
was to 60 to Archibald
Williams further says that while they were nego-
tating this transaction Archibald mentioned that the
Commerce Court considering the lighterage
case, sent Williams with letter to an official of the
Erie, and said that he Archbald) would the gen.
eral counsel of the Erie about the option.
The lghterage case, it may be recalled, is the one
in which the Commerce Courts decision in favor of
the railroads and the Sugar trust started the first
storm of dsapproval of the court. At the time that
decision rendered the talk about abolishing the
court began, and it has been going on ever since.
Judge Archbalds appointment by President Taft
to this bench the subject Of bitter opposition in
the Senate. Unpleasant charges made against
the jurist, who had previously served the United
States district bench in Pennsylvania For a time
there was grave doubt about confirmation.
Among the cases in which Judge Archibald has sat
was the prosecution Of members of the wire pool
Convictions were secured by the Government under
the antitrust law and Judge Archibald imposed ridic-
ulously small fines and no jail sentences short
time afterward commenting on this case, Attorney
General Wickersham said:
THAT plea (nolo contendere) was accepted by
Judge Archibald in the wire pool cases in New York
and have no criticism to make of his action in i'm
posing the small fine he did on the members of the
pool know that many of them were entirely limo
cent of any criminal intent but can't understand
Judge Archbald's not sending Jackson-that quacE
doctor of the law-to Jail. He fined him less thar
one-thrd of the years profits from his dishonest anc
criminal practice. 1t was absurd.
That case goes to show that can bring Grim
nals to the bar of justice, but cannot send them tc
jail"
Colonel Roosevelt seems to be getting some aic
and comfort in his contention that it is not neces
sarily wicked to insist that judges are human.

PROGRESS IN SPITE OF OURSELVES

This people must be pardoned sometimes if it
takes few seconds off to pat itself on the back,
for every now and then some fact bobs up that
makes it ndisputabe that are nation of great
virility, and despite the mad race for power and
pef and other besettng sins that are lambasted in
and out of season, doing pretty we'll after ALL
The latest arithmetica proof of this the fig
ures given out by the educational authorities. These
figures show the profession of teaching school to
be more poorly paid than the street scavengers
or the unskilled foreign aborers; the average an
nual wage of all school teachers including those
in high schools and in our cities being little less
than $500. Far more than half the teachers are
under age and totally unprepared for their work.
Despite these facts, plus the factor of con-
slant immigration of totally ignorant people, the
Census Bureau shows decrease in illiteracy of 8
per cent in ten years-or total of 100000 persons.
We have progressed in spite of ourselves. 1t
is almost equivalent to lifting one by ones own
bootstraps.

When questioned by Senator Smith as
to whether there would have been a

Senator Smith was much struck by
