MeIIen's Resignation Shows Force Of Public Opinion, But It Makes No
 Restitution and Repairs No Wrong

i MT. Meerl's resignation inevitable, human being what it is He is the scape goat An efficient hands of his employers he support ed by them while his usefulness endured When public methods which had been applied to the New Haven pany it became necessary to offer sacrifice throw body overheard and plead clean slate That is all there is to the situation.
 Melien's resignation is offered while he is under fire and under indictment It is hastily accepted by directors which under re but not under dictment.
 MT. Mellen now doubtless wishes he had served the public with half the zeal with which he served the rail- kings They will wish, soon, that they had served the public and their pockets less.
 Unfortunately, MT. Mellens resignation restores nothing The investment stock in the hands of more than 5000 estates small property of widows and phans cut in two in the middle and the income therefrom remains diminished by twentv per cent.
 The sacrifice of MT. Mellen, offering to public opinion will not restore single life taken in the recent railroad wrecks.
 It will not give back confidence n the railroad man agers of the country confidence long since forfeited by gross betrayals of trust.
 It will not of and in itself remove from the back of the necessity of paying interest and dividends upon volume of securities needlessly issued and almost a vast the cost of the Panama Canal
 Yet the thing is not without its benefits. It proves that there is public opinion
 It may play part in estopping the kind of finance that has been practced with transportation properties New England.
 But Mellens resignation does not take the punish ment home to the responsible places. MeHen larger office boy What he did that in errer, he could have done unless his board of directors consent ed Back to Wall street and Wall street finance the sponsibiity goes.
 question whether in this country there is to be rairoading for rairoadng raroadng for the rchent by legal loot of high finance is yet unsettled

ROB MRS. CURTIS UNDER WRECK OF
 HER AUTOMOBILE E
THIEVES TAKE JEWELRY AND MONEY. FROM HER AS SHE LAY CRUSHED AFTER
 COLLISION.

Greenwich, July 19-The fact that Mrs. George H. Curtis, of New York city, was robbed of her jewelry and a large sum of money following the automobile collision in the Boston Post road, in which she was injured badly, became known here last night While Mrs. Curtis was lying under the wreck ed tonneau, thieves appropriated her diamond earrings, a diamond ring, a string of pearls, a diamond brooch, several other pieces of jewelry and her purse All of the articles, as well as the cash, were recovered, but upon the urgent request of MT. Curtis, no arrests were made.
 The excitement attending the acci- dent and the anxiety of the rescuers to hurry Mrs. Curtis to the hospital in the hope of saving her life prevented those present from noticing the rob bery, and it was not until a boy. ex- hibited the ring and brooch to several of his friends that it became known. Police Captain Talbot began an fn- vestigation and found the jewelry.
 James Lunny, the chauffeur in charge of the Curtis automobile, and Edward Smith, the other driver in the collision, are held in bail to await the outcome of Mrs. Curtis injuries. It is announced at the Greenwich hos pital where she was taken, that she is resting easier and that there is now some hope for her recovery. Lun- ny who was unable to walk to court on account of the injury to his legs, is not in a serious condition

SPOTTERS USED
 TO FIRE DRINKING
 MEN ON RAILROAD

New Haven, July 1e-More than seventy oId-time railroad men have been discharged by the New Haven road in the last few days, about forty of them in the past two days, and many others are expecting their fin ish as railroaders at any moment. The railroad has been conducting a temp perance campaign and the men discharged are men who have been found drinking.
 It was during the hot wave early in July that the first of the discharges came. A freight switching crew in the Cedar Hill yards paid the penalty when they were discovered with more than plenty of drinkab1e goods on board their engine By mischance, the engine went through open switch and next day the men were looking for jobs elsewhere.
 Then the railroad sent out amateur detectives and, acting on the reports from them, started their grand clean ing-up. Young fellows from the of- fee building, safe" men from train crews in both passenger and freight service have been "spotting" all over the state.
 Day by day these 'fspotters'' have handed in long lists of victims. Here in New Haven the tspotters'' have city and especially those in the sec tions where railroad men live.
 The list of those discharged is a startling one, in that it contains names of men we'll known all over the state and men who have been raiIroading for many years But it is expected that many of them will be taken back, that the campaign is being waged to scare the men.

As gov ernor of the banana island" he sue ceeds Sir Sydney Olivier, an eccentric but extraordinarily capable and eff cient executive. Sir Sydney incensed some of the Jamaicans by his refusal to take part in public ceremonfa1s and religious exercises, and his heretical views in theology, sociology and econo- mics excited much adverse comment.

Baltimore, July 19-"On next Wed nesday shall be 79 years old," said Cardinal Gibbons. And then he add ed: 'tI do not think that I will live much longer. My life is nearly spent.
 T will soon be an octogenarian, and nature must take its course Almighty God has blessed me with a. long life and I am ready to answer whenever He sees fit to call me to render an ac- count of my stewardship.
 "I think that it will not be long now,'' the Cardinal continued, and there was no sorrow in his voice, just resignation, stand when the call comes think 1t will be a sudden one. We should all be ready for the call, be- cause we don't know how soon or sud- den it may come''
 When asked if he is in good health the Cardinal answered.: tfYes, I still feel young and capable of perform ing several more years of labor, but I think will soon pass away. Per haps I might live ten years longer. We are never sure.
 'sYou know, it is our soul that makes us young or old. I shall go on a lft- tie vacation soon.''

 He saw there the body of man.
 Investigation showed that the man was George P. Wood, IT,, railroad empIoye. of 229 Bergentine avenue, Union Hill, N. J.
 The locomotive came into Syracuse from Albany Wednesday night, and how Wood got into the tender is mystery. It is thought he may have ia Hen in the coal from which the loco motive was supplied and passed in to the tender through a coal chu*e
