A New York Swindle.

A man has just been arrested in New
York on a charge of swindling young
women in circumstances that should be
widely noted to teach such lesson as may
be learned as to the folly of putting con-
fidence in strangers. This man, with a
long string OF aliases, posed usually as a
Russian nobleman, here in America on
secret business for his government, neces-
stating suppression of his real title He
made practice of frequenting the res
taurants and cafes chantants of the me-
tropoliS where girls with more jewelry
than good sense were to be met and
when he noticed a particularly fine Jewel
he found way TO make acquaintance.
and was so adroit and impressive in his
address that, judging from the numerous
cases that have been reported, he had lit
tie difficulty in persuading the owner to
intrust the jewel to him to have ii reset
in more artistic manner. Of course, the
girls never got their rings or brooches
back. AT last one of them. Drawing the
ridicule that is always feared by the vic
tins Of such swindles, decided to prose-
cute aAd maintained a watch for the
sharper in the district he frequented. and
finally saw him in an automobile and,
giving signal to policeman. started a
pursuit that was ultimately successful
Now the losers OF valuable rings are com
ing forward TO testify against him, and
IN all the cases there is a virtual identity
81 experience. The case naturally and
obviously illustrates the risk of being too
confiding in people who are casually met
and who volunteer their services in mat
tiers involving the handling of valuables.
Swtndiers OF certain class play profess
sionally upon this trait of humanity TO
trust 10 smooth speech and pleasing man
ner and make big stakes by so doing.
There are always potential victims in
every large city. and those who are easily
swindled are not necessarily the newest
recruits from the country

Firemen's Pensions.

Business men whose property was men
aced by the 9TH street fire the other day
have shown their appreciation of the eX
cellent work done by the fire department
by contributing generously to the pension
fund. This is an admirable means of eN-
pressing gratitude for valuable services
rendered especially as the fund is peren-
nially in Il state of depletion, owing TO
the inadeauacy and uncertainty of the
sources from which il is derived. 4 citi-
zen writing to The Star yesterday cited
the injuries received by several members
of the department at this same fire, and
urged that the civic organizations, bust
ness men and citizens generally do their
utmost to secure from Congress an ado
quate pension fund, so that every mem
Der of the department will be assured of
provision for himself III case of injuries
received in line of duty and for his fam
lily in case he is killed in action.
Washington had a narrow escape from
a humiliating spectacle the other day In
connection with this fire. The firemen
who were entrapped in the burning build
ing by the falling of floors missed death
by the slenderest of margins. Had they
been killed there literally would have been
no public funds for meeting the just
claims OF their families for compensation
for their loss. 1t would have been indeed
unfortunate to present this proof of in
sufficient provision for a necessary guar
antee to the fire fighters. Perhaps such a
calamity alone will bring about change
in the system, which is now most IN
satisfactory because of the uncertainty
of resources.
Since the enactment of the new excise
law, with its provision for the lining
| of persons found intoxicated ON the
streets. there has been a considerable i'm
| provement in the condition of the fund.
but this is by no means pleasant form
of assurance, the Capital city depending
in large measure for the maintenance of
police and firemens pensions upon the
lawbreaking of the bibulous. The only
equitable mode of financing this pension
system is to reckon these pension pay
ments as part of the regular annual up
keep of the two departments, to be paid
for as are all other District expenses,
on the half-and-half basis. No logical
argument can be advanced against a
| federal participation in the pensioning of
the policemen and the firemen, who are
intrusted with the safeguarding of the
governments property

The Reserve Committees Program.

Secretaries McAdoo and Houston want

Of the work in organizing the new cur
rency scheme and in order to get 1t
have Planned a swing around the circle.
The idea is good and it Is to be hoped
Mr. McAdoo's indisposition may prove SO
slight it's carrying out will not be inter
fered with.
Both the committee and the public
should learn much from this investiga-
ton of the country's development. which,
under the sun of an almost continuous
prosperity for seventeen years-ever since
the early Mckinley days-has been rapid
and most gratifying. Uncle Sans do
minion is now a truly big thing in its
line. All sections exhibit the wonders
of well directed efforts under well de-
vsed national policies. Manufacturing
belts. mining belts, agricultural belts,
have great cities TO show and large sums
In bank as the results of their pros
perity.
The committee on tour will consider
only the business aspects of things, and
IT appeals for help from the public with
business only in view. 1t bars politics. 1t
iuterprets its duty as disconnected alto
gether from party matters. and as call
ing for decisions based on patriotic con
sderations solely. II wants TO run the
regional lines and name the cities within
them for other purpose than carrying
out the spirit of the new currency law
and advancing the interests of the whole
country.
Mention is made Of this because the
committee realizes that, with us. as
people, politics enters more or less into
every public question. The tariff. the
trusts. conseryation-all relating directly
to business-are saturated with politics,
and have furnished texts for the most
bitter partisan deliverances American
campaigning has known in the past fifty
years
IL is true too, that the new currency
law had its origin In democratic coun-
ellis. and was debated in Congress largely
as a democratic measure. But, az the
close, the final roll call in both House
and Senate carried the names of promi-
nent republicans. who, unable to secure
precisely what they wanted, accepted
what was offered, on the score that. de-
fective as they considered the measure
TO BE- il satisfied them better than the
existing law.
But here is the new law, and it can
not become success unless applied in
a broad and national spirit and for a
broad and national purpose. If regional
lines We're traced, cities selected and
members of the reserve board named,
under the influence of party pull,
smash would follow as swiftly and as
surely as the night the day. Such ma
chinery is not for the manipulation of
bosses. acting under the inspiration OF
getting out of it all there may be in it

Meeting the New Year.
ON the Chicago Record Herald

The world does move. We have re-
deemed the Fourth of July; we are re-
forming Christmas buying and giving.
and we are beginning to reclaim New
Year eve. A sane and human celebration
of the advent of the new year is no
longer the dream of few. The disgrace
full din and disorders, to say nothing of
the debauchery, that have marked the
celebrations of recent year are produce
ing a marked reaction. Here in Chi
cago the mayor and chief of police have
issued an anti-riot and anti-noise order
that il is to be hoped, will be strictly
enforced. This will be step forward. In
New York a representative New Year
eve commi,.ee has been organized, as last
year to arrange for a rational and
worthy popular celebration. Citizens are
to gather in Madison Square; the big
gest and best band Will be engaged;
groups of trained singers will be sta
toned at various points; the words of
the songs will be displayed on screens.
Last year $4,000 New Workers responded
to the call of the committee, and through
out the city the effect of the right cele-
bration was felt in some degree. This
year the committee expects even greater
results Why should not similar com
mittees be organized in other cities?

Maryland Sewage Disposal.

one of the towns in this territory has its

and the population is steadily and rapid

will have become most serious, not only
for the communities themselves, but for
the District, which must serve as an out
