"BIame 1t on the Engineer" and
There Will Be More Accidents.

Responsibility for the Stamford wreck Will turn
an Tho question whether or not the locomotive that
ran into the train ahead was in condition Tor ser

It's engineer has testified that its emergency air
brakes would not work and that he had complained
70 the management that they would not WORK. lie
has also testified that the lever used In reversing
was so stiff that he could not throw II sufficiently lar
to sion the train when he saw the car In front
0ther engineers familiar with the locomotive nave
testified that the levers and brakes worked stnly'
though it is not clear that they had occasion TO use
the emergency air brakes.
The locomotive was new and ii is common FOR the
narts Of new engine 10 work stifhy. The engineer
I'm charge at the time of the accident has testlhed
that he wrenched his back few days previously
irving TO throw one Of the levers. This seems 10
show that the mechanism had not been put into such
condition that the use of the locomotive in trathc
was safe
If nothing has been done to the locomotive since
the accident II ought TO he easy for the board OF
expers appointed TO examine it to determine Whether
or not its parts were in good working order
If the locomotive was put into service when It's
app9ratus was not in good working order, then the
officials responsible should be held to account erin
inally. The great need in this country Is TO Sehu

THE COHALAN CASE
A Reader Upholds the Justice as
Against the Bar Association.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
sir: Your editorial on Justice Cohalan's
refusal to answer the Connolly charges
before the Bar Association and on his
action In referring them TO Governor Sui
ger is scarcely fair to man who has for
years been a force for clean politics in
the councils OF the Democratic party IN
this city. He nis credited with being re-
sponsible for the nomination of Mayor
Gaynor, who has not so far recognized
the boss as his master.
II has been admitted on all sides that
the Bar Association has no power to con-
duct any investigation worthy OF the
name. Without the power 10 compel wit
ness TO attend or TO force witnesses who
attended 20 answer vital questions the
investigation would be a farce. BESIDES
these shortcomings. it was insinuated in
some of the papers that Mr.. Hornbower.
president of the Bar Association. IS coun-
sci for The World" which has. 1t is also
stated n personal grudge against the
Cohalan family.
Even The World" in a recent issue,
stated that Justice Cohalan had powerful
friends In the Bar Association and that
lawyers would be reluctant to antaSonize
a Judge who had before him an unexpred
term OF twelve years. The Evening
journal Denounced the pretensons Of
the Bar Association in all the moods and
lenses, and said positively that decision
of that body would have no weight or DO

President Wilson now has the sundry civil appro-
praton bill on his hands 1t contains an obnoxious
rider which seeks by ndirection TO repeal the Sher
man antitrust law 50 far as it applies to comblna-
tons Of laborers TO advance wages of farmers to
advance the prices of their products
Mr. wilson's action on this measure Will deeply
influence the country's judgment of him as Il po-

he will veto the bill If he is willing to subscribe
to paltry deception for political purposes he VIII
approve it.

Farewell Romance in Shooting Stars.

Edwin and Angelina will probably regard Mr.
George Merrill the geological curator Of the Ma
tiona Museum, as their deadlest enemy, though
that gentleman may bear up with Christian fortitude
under their dspeasurc, sustained by the conscious
ness Of being "A martyr to scientific truth. We all
know-of course, by hearsay-of the significance Of
shooting stars to those young persons and Of the
ceremonial with which the appearance Of one Is OBJ
served But how can they now be regarded:
For following the ascertainments Of Mr. Merrills
panstaling analyses Edwin must remark TO An
geina that the eeing CLEAN is produced by the com
bustion Of a mass composed Of silicon, sulphur au-
minum phosphorus, nickel, cobalt copper, chromium
carbon, manganese, lron soda and potash. With
what degree of romantic feryOr can he repeat that
formula to her listening ear! And with what touch
ing sentiment can she respond that there seem to be
in it no traces Of gold, or platinum, or even Of tin
or lead!
OF course there might be some consolation In the
reflection that these analyses almost certainly ind-
cate that the shooting stars of celestial and not
of terrestrial volcanic origin But by that time the
last CLEAN would have vanished and Edwins oppOr-
tunity would have passed. until another meteor came
or until another bridge crossed.

Sir: How very thankful We should be
that we cannot be held responsible for the
quantity of brains Providence has endowed
your correspondent with. mean the man
with a long name that has given US a
list Of the many virtues possessed by the
English When I read the epistle I felt
that he was certainly more TO be pitied
than blamed.
am here on n trip, returning in a
week or SO. and am glad to say that in
making a tourney upstate TO Amsterdam
found the English element profoundly
respected, and 50 with all Americans l
have met they have a good word for Eng
lish laws and institutions SO We can well
afford TO ignore the utterances of a few
Irish. But what am sure Of is that all
good Irish would repudiate such twaddle.

she is incompetent FOR anything higher or
