LAND SUITS.
Government Will Have No
Compromise in the
Matter
FRAUDULENT
ENTRIES FOUGHT
Secretary Lane Announces.
Policy-Rather Lose
Than Settle

Washington July 24.-Secretary Lane
of the interior department yesterday
announced there would be no compromis-
ing of suits brought by the government
against private individuals for the fraud
ulent entry and taking of government
lands. The suits will be fought out on
their merits, as a matter of principle.
In a letter to Clay Tallman commits
sioner of the general land office, the sec
rotary said:
81 am opposed to this department be-
ing a party to the compromising of land
suits which involve serious breach OF
the law, for these reasons:
"Such compromises necessarily involve
a Reputation in some part of the gov
ernment's claim
This office is required to set itself
up in the place of the courts as to both
law and facts;
THE policy of compromising cases
leads !. to the bringing of cases which
should never have been brought, for the
officials will be less regardfnl Of their
facts where there is likelihood that the
case will never be fought out upon its
merits;

inevitably to continued breaches OF the
law, especially by wealthy and reckless
individuals who believe that if their
wrong is discovered they viii be able
to settle with the government
The secretary concluded with de-
Tense of the policy under which he adj
mitted "the government doubtless will
lose many suits which otherwise could
be compromised" He insisted, however,
that it would develop respect for the
law among the people at large and
among those whose duty it is to see
that the law is obeyed.

Is Ready to Force Him Out
of Adrianople at
Once
AWAITS THE MANDATE
OF EUROPE
Dismemberment of Bulgaria
Is Opposed-Horrors
Are Denied

London, July 24--The European con
cert is faced by the most delicate and
difficult situation, requiring the exer-
else of the utmost diplomatic tact, if
Europe is not to be plunged into a gen
eral war by the Turkish reoccupation OF
Adrianople and Kirk Kdlisse. Bulgaria,
helpless, sees the fruits of her dearly
won victories snatched from her hand,
and while negotiations for an armistiee
are proceeding in leisurely manner at
Nish, the Greeks and Servians continue
to push their advantage. No time was
lost by the powers in starting an ex-
change of views with the object of find
ing the best means of cheekmating Tur-
keys action, which is looked upon as
clearcut defiance of all Europe. The
next few hours are likely to decide
whether or not forces hitherto lnen-
gagged shall enter the Balkan cockpit.
Russia is understood to be ready to ac-
eept the mandate of Europe to compel
the Porte TO respect the treaty of Lon
don, which the Ottomans are now tear
ing up, and the British cabinet meets
to consider whether this government
shall consent to active intervention on
the part of Russia. Premier AsquitlRs
speech at Birmingham on Monday even
ing was intended to warn Turkey against
the possibility of such a development
which would involve Russian occupation
of both sides of the Bosphorus, and the
gripping of Constantinople both in the
front and in the rear
Austria Hungary thus far has held
aloof, being unwilling to consent to ac-
tive measures against the Turk. Should
coercion be attempted by Russia with
out her consent, however little doubt is
expressed by close followers OF the Balk-
an situation that Austria Hungary inn
mediately would occupy the Sanjak Of

HOUSE FILIBUSTER KEEPS UP.
Squabble Over Caminetti Case Becomes
an Endurance Race.

Washington, July 24.-House Demo-
Gratis and Republicans grappled yester
day in continuation of their partisan
squabble over the Caminetti case. The
situation was comic in some aspects,
without imperilling passage of any leg
islation. 1t resolved itself into hot
weather endurance contests between the
two factions, the only net result being
the manufacture of political campaign
thunder.
A filibuster of the Republicans with
neither bill. nor anything else of impor-
lance to filibuster against was the pro-
gramme The Democrats proposed to
submit to the filibustering tactics, in
the hope of wearing out the opposi-
ton.
Minority Leader Mann declared his
fight will continue until the Republicans
can discuss the postponement of the
white slave cases.

DISAGREEMENT OF JURIES.

One of the greatest sources of waste Of the
taxpayers money is the disagreement Of juries
in important cases that have been tried after
the prosecution has spent large suns in secur-
ing evidence. Whether or not it is due to an
honest difference Of opinion among the jury
men, or whether they secretly consider it the
easiest way for them to escape embarrass-
ment by arriving at a decision, is something
which cannot be told. We are glad to note
some important exceptions Of late, however.
The most recent is the case of the ironworkers'
dynamite conspiracy where thirty-eight out of
forty defendants were found guilty. Another
famous labor case in which labor leaders were
acquitted was that growing out of the Law
renee, Mass, strike. Again, we have the
Rosenthal murder case in New York, with
Becker and four gunner under sentence of
death. In all these cases, the jurymen did their
duty without fear or favor.
On the other hand there are plenty Of in
stances where juries have apparently
"dodged" a verdict. In all such cases the
great expenditure of money in working up the
case for the people has been wasted. The
parties accused are still in custody with a
shadow of doubt hanging over them. They
have accomplished nothing by the trial, and
the case of the people is still the same, with all
the money gone.
It would seem as if some method of bringing
about a verdict in the event of a jury disagree
ment should be devised. Juries can hardly be
compelled to agree, but perhaps some method
could be reached whereby the presiding Judge
could cast a vote in an effort to break the dead
lock. In the reform of our judicial system this
matter, which is decidedly costly to taxpayers,
should be given the consideration it deserves.

THE HARBOR BOARD.

Much depends on the five men who have
been selected by Mayor Garretson for the
new harbor board as regards the future
prosperity of the city. We trust that the
men chosen fully realize the Importance of
our waterways, particularly harbor develop
ment for Perth Amboy. If the question should
be put to our leading manufacturers who have
voluntarily located in this city during the past
ten or fifteen years, we are confident that all
sfeclare that they came here because of
y ities and natural advantages

NO ACTIVITY BY RAILROAD.

Although two weeks have passed since word
was received in this city that the Public Util-
ity Commission had recommended to the Cen
trail railroad certain improvements at the
Central station here, as far as can be seen,
nothing has been done. Of course, it has been
a busy season Of the year and the railroad
may not have had time to get around to this
matter. A few days more, however, will tell
whether or not the Central railroad intends
to act voluntarily in giving the people of this
city somewhere near decent accommodations
at the railroad station, or whether the city
will be forced to take formal action to compel
the railroad company to give us what is due.
The demand for better light along the sta
ton platforms and the paths leading to them
q te1iothing to do with the needs of an entire
new station, preferably a union station.
Even if the railroad company plans to start
improvements in this city on a large scale
within the near future, there is no reason
why our present station should not be prop
erly lighted until such a time as the improve
ments are completed.
The conditions that the people of this city
are compelled to put up with at the Central
station are disgusting. They shouldl no longer
be tolerated The inspector sent here by the
Public Utility Commission sustained the con
%tention Of those who have been demanding
improvements, and even went further by
recommending other changes that were not
asked for. Perth Amboy does not intend to
be treated with Indifference.
Our freight traffic here, which means an
enormous income to the railroads, warrants
the expenditure of some money for the &C
commodation of the public and we intend to
see that this money is spent within a short
time. A committee composed of our leading
business men who do a large amount of ship
ping here, might be able to accomplish a
great deal, especially if appointed by the
mayor of the city, in bringing the railroad to
terms. But the energies Of such a committee
should not be wasted on such a small thing
as demand for better lights. This is some
thing that should come voluntarily. When
the public is once aroused and official recog-
milton is taken in the desire for permanent
improvements, nothing short Of an adequate
union station should be demanded. However,
for the present we are asking that the public
be given decent accommodations at the sta
ton we now have.

that Perth Amboy offered.
The industries that locate here in the
future will come because they believe that
Perth Amboy offers them a better location for
their plants. There is no doubt that the ex-
cellent harbor is the most important feature
in connection with the facilities that we have
to offer. The industries have developed their
waterfront property to a large extent, but up
until the present time the city has ignored
this most important asset.
Within a comparatively few miles of New
York harbor proper-being included In the
general plan Of New York harbor-and with
an open channel direct to Sandy Hook, Perth
Amboy has everything to recommend it to
commerce.. New York proper cannot begin
to take care Of all the shipping that desires
to go there, neither can Jersey City nor Hobok-
en-, directly opposite New York. South Brook
lyn is developing rapidly and millions Of
dollars are to be spent in Jamaica bay with
the idea Of taking care of the overflow. But
Perth Amboy has a direct advantage over all
these places, because of our location on the
IllllIlolllOy vi OuI iCdLl Z w biC OPCh oSN biNi
because of the three trunk line railroads here
making direct connection to all parts of the
continent.
By a small expenditure Perth Amboy can
be made a port rivaling Baltimore, Philadel-
phia or Boston. All that is needed is to build
a few municipal piers with terminals, and
connect them with the railroads so that all
lines may have access to the vessels. In
Baltimore, where millions Of dollars has been
spent along this line, the city is realizing five
per cent. on it's investment.
Upon the new harbor board that is to be
appointed by Mayor Garretson rests the re-
sponsibilities of keeping Perth Amboy abreast
with the times. To ignore that which is plain
ly evident on all sides regarding water trans
portation is to deliberately rob the city Of
the prosperity that is justly ours, and allow
other cities to get what would otherwise come
here. We have been progressive in all other
matters and we do not believe that we are
going to fall behind when it comes to an inn
provement that ranks far ahead of anything
else that can or has been done for the city.
We trust that the five men who have been
picked by Mayor Garretson as the ones who
are to have charge of our harbor, realize their
responsibility. We look upon them as one of
the most important bodies in our municipal
government. While everything cannot be
done at once and while there is a great deal
to do because of our neglect in the past, we
are sure people will stand back of the board
for any reasonable demands that they make
on the Board Of Aldermen in an effort to make
the harbor of Perth Amboy a real port in
every sense Of the word. Keep in mind al
ways that the people, through the city gov
eminent, must control and not allow any
private corporation or corporations to prevent
us realizing the advantage of our matchless
waterfront.
