The girl was lured from her home
in Michigan six months ago. She was
brought to Chicago and there disap-
neared. She had become a victim Of
the traffickers in girls. Her mother,
after vainly trying to find her through
letters and inquiries, determined to
come to Chicago to look for her
Those interested in the girls disap-

of her daughters fate after she reach

their captains TO double their lookouts

fogey weather while near the ice

Names and Crime.

\ study of the names of the men who
are involved in the Rosenthal killing in
New York affords an interesting exhibit
in personal nomenclature in the metro
politan underworld. Scarcely one of them
i now identified By his original or real
name. For instance Jacob Rich is now
known as Jack Sullivan. The real name
of -Dago Frank has not yet been dis
closed. Harry WALTON. who has just sur
rendered himself as witness. should
properly be known as Harry Valentine.
Others in the delectable crew have more
or less shifted from their baptismal titles
and virtually all of them have nicknames
that illustrate the picturesque style of
language in their circles of life. Indeed

Asked why the Senate Investigating
committee was not concerning itself

quoted as pleading the lack of author

Not much has been discovered by the

The Tariff Board.

The senate votes for another year:
work by the tariff board. The House
would put end to the board. Which
side Will win in conference?
All hands agree that the tariff is still
the leading issue before the country. Al
hands promise revision Of the Payne
Iaw. now only three years old. And the
business interests demand that whatever
IS to be done in the way of revision shall
he done quickly. Delay and mere discus
sion are prejudicial to business.
Mr. Taft favors revision, but wants the
program to follow the lines of protec-
ton. lie believes in protection as a
principle. He thinks there are indus
tries which still have claims to the APP
pication of that principle. As pro-
tectionist. therefore. he asks for a con-
tinuation of the tariff board as a means
Of ascertaining what should be done. He
would add information gathered by the
board 10 other information, and guide by
the total.
Mr. Roosevelt declares for protection
although in terms SO vague the declara-
ton has small meaning. He is Juggling
with the tariff issue with other is
sues. For seven years as President he
was the leader of the standpatters. and
only within the past year has found his
voice for lower tariff duties But now
that he has found 1t. and fancies he can
use IL to Mr. Taft's injury as to the
Payne law, he is loud in his CRY for e
new law which will put more money at
the manufactures into the pay en-
veIopes''
In theory Mr.. Wilson is free trader.
That is TO say. in his library. in reading
Jacket and slippers. he can dispose of
protection while you wait. But as can
didate for President he has closed the
door on his books and theories and is
now confronting a condition. He wants
TO be elected. and much depends on his
Interpretation of the tariff plank of the
Baltimore platform. The famous Han
cock inquiry must be answered. WHO
is Tariff, and why is he for revenue
only"
As matters stand light is necessary,
and we should have all that can be COM
manded. The amount required for the
support of the tariff board for a year is
trifiing when the Importance of the bust
ness is considered. A half million dollars
would not be an extravagant appropria-
ton. but only quarter million is asked.
II ought TO be voted.
And it is only fair that the board
should report to Congress. though the
point is not of much consequence. A re-
port to the President would reach Con-
sress. and one to Congress would reach
the President. The next revision should
if possible, settle the tariff question for
some years.

What Speed in the Ice Field !

After the Titanic disaster in April
transatlantic vessels were shifted from
he northerly to more southerly route
alOng which 1t would be possible TO course
without meeting icebergs. BY so doing
the larger, speedier ships were enabled
TO maintain their schedules and they have
been presumably making their best time

The Car Crossing Peril.

What is the use of going ahead with
investigations into the circumstances
Of last Fridays fatal street car collision
at 9th and streets" The facts in that
case are sufficiently we'll known to war
rant action along the lines of surely pre-
ventive reform. without any further
waste of time or energy I'm an inquiry by
anybody. II Is certain that the cars came
together because there was misunder-
standing between the motormen as to
which had the right of way. there being
no flagman at that intersection of tracks
to direct their movements. The remedy
for such a condition is simple and re-
quires no probing to ascertain. consisting
simply in stationing a signalman at each
of the busy crossings in this city where
the traffic is heavy enough to constitute
la danger This the Commissioners can
do today if they desire by the exercise
of their police regulation power.
The fact that few years ago Congress
placed under the interstate commerce
commission all questions relating to the
running of street railways in the District
Of Columbia does not deprive the Com
missioners of the authority to protect
life that was granted to them by the act
Of January 26. 1887. and the supple
mentary act of February g, 1892. The
former act empowers them Ito make.
modify and enforce usual and reasonable
police regulations to regulate the
movements of vehicles on the public
streets and avenues for the preservation
of order and the protection of life and
limb The act of 1892 specifically refer
ring to the regulation of theater licenses.
gave the Commissioners, in the second
section. the power Ito make and enforce
all such reasonable and usual police regu-
Iatfons, in addition to those already made
under act of January &c. 1857, as they
may deem necessary for the protection
of lives, limbs. health. comfort and quiet
Of all persons and the protection of all
property within the District of Column
bia."
Under these provisions of law the Com
missioners have unquestionably full au-
thority to order that no street car shall
be sent across an intersecting track in
the District of Columbia without a signal
by a fagman who Is not himself an
operator of car. Whatever may be the
jurisdiction of the interstate commerce
commission over the physical equipment
Of the local lines and other schedules.
etc, this item of safeguarding the lives
of the public at the car crossings un-
doubtedly lies within the range of the
Commissioners own authority. Indeed
the responsible is theirs. as we'll as the
opportunity to meet this matter with a
rule of their own. and if they neglect to
heed the warning so plainly given by the
collision of last week they will take a
serious chance of mourning the burden OF
blame for disasters in the future.

that they will ever alter their opinions of
each other.
