The Deadly Grade Crossing.

The protest filed with the Maryland
public service commission against the
maintenance of the grade crossing of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway at
Hysttsville should have all the support
that the people of this community can
give it. As The Washington Herald
has so often stated, most recently in
connection with the disaster a. grade
crossing in Alexandria County within
walking distance. of the Capital, the
people of the District are interested, as
possible victims, in not only the grade
crossings now remaining in the Dis
trict, but also those in the country
roundabout through which District resi-
dents SO frequently travel
Information given TO the commission
included the fact that more than thirty
persons have been killed at the cross
ing which it is desired, to have discon-
tinued. Despite the precautions taken
against accidents there can be no COM
plete security from the crossing while
it exists.
1t would be to the interest of both
the railway and the people to have the
grade crossing abolished, and abolished
at once. There is no excuse for it. If
it is the railways duty to construct an
overhead or an underground crossing
the railway should construct it and
pay for it. If this duty is the peoples
the people should do So If the duty
lies, in whatever proportions, upon both,
both should do it. But they should do
it now. A grade crossing in a popu-
lous country is far more anomalous than
a woodburning locomotive.
The crossing at Hyattsville is but one
of many that should be abolished These
intersections at grade of rail and public
road where steam traffic and the pass
age of individuals seem opposed as in
deadly ennity are numerous. They
should have an instant attention from
officials and railways jointly response
bic for their maintenance

The Grape Juice "Split."

A silly yarn, rivaling any concocted
in the dog days." was given publicity
yesterday, to the effect that the friends
of Secretary of State Bryan charge tina,
certain special interests" are inspiring
the publication of grape juice stories
concerning the Secretary. Their OBJ
JecL so it is solemnly revealed, is to
cause breach between President Will
son and the head OF his Cabinet. Their
reason SO it is declared with equal
gravity, is that Mr.. Bryan exercises an
influence over the President that is un-
favorable to the special interests
So the remedy is to be a grape
juice split"
Mr.. Bryan's friends, it is announced,
will demand an inquiry by Congress
into this CONSPIRACY In this they are
to have Republican support as is fit and
proper. Representative Madden, Re-
publican. of Illinois, was quick to real
ize the situation and to grasp his
opportunity. He is for the investiga-
ton, as all the gayety-loving should be.
Mr. Madden said.
This insidious conspiracy should be
inquired into. Since Congress has
found it necessary to spend part of its
time investigating the causes of hilarity
of local college students, we ought to
find time to look into the causes of
trouble, if any, between the President
and his chief Cabinet officer, SO as to
determine the relation newspaper at
tacks have to it PUT me down as ia
roring an investigation.
That covers the entire ground and
we pledge our support to Mr.. Madden.
Only, let there be no delay; the in
fanny must be nipped in the bud.

He was known to be OF absolute integrity
in his personal money matters.
"A year or two after Gov. Hill became
United States Senator the income tax
bill, which had been framed originally
by the Lower House of Congress. was
before the Senate. which at that time
was a Democratic body.
Unexpectedly Hill announced that he
would address the Senate in opposition
to the income tax law. saying that he
based his opposition entirely upon consti-
tutional grounds
Il have no doubt IL seemed to all law
yers presumptuous that this Senator, who
had for twenty years been known as an
active politician in New York State,
should venture to address the Senate not
upon a political, but upon a constitu-
tional question.
But as Hill delivered the address we
lawyers began to look at one another
with astonishment. Here was a man
who was revealing himself as a master.
not only OF constitutional principles. but
OF the presentation of them to a body
which contained so able a group of law
yers as did the United States Senate at
that day.
Il think from that time my associates
upon the bench and many of the leading
lawyers of New York State realized that
If Gov. Hill had devoted himself to the
law instead of to politics he would have
ranked as one of the great leaders OF the
American bar.
Now / will tell you something which
came within my personal knowledge.
Among the lawyers. who were retained,
to argue before the Supreme Court at
washington in support of the claim that
the income tax law of 1S9i provided for
ievying OF that tax in a manner which
was unconstitutional, was Clarence H.
Seward. one OF the leaders of the New
YORK bar. Mr.. Stewards brief followed
substantially the line Of argument made
Dy Gov. Hill In the United States Senate,
and II was Mr.. Stewards brief upon
which the Supreme Court based its opin-
ion that the income tax law of 1894 pro-
vided for an unconstitutional method Of
levying taxes
Il think all lawyers Of New York State
are satisfied that Gov. Hill from the time
when he gained that great triumph as
lawyer began to subordinate political am
bition to success greatly as a lawyer. Be-
fore his death he must have been graft
Ned to know that this later ambition had
been rapidly realised

In a conversation which I had with
John Clinton Gray just before he sailed

months rest, l asked him what on the

mind some OF his experiences while serv-

should be said in passing that Judge
Gray has gained very hign rank as a
jurist. His name is known favorably to
leading lawyers all over the United
States and to many in Great Britain.
His opinions as recorded in the reports
of the Court of Appeal cases carry very
great authority.

had made a great impression upon him,

elation made by David B. Hill Of his
mastery intellectual equipment as law

many interesting incidents which came
under my observation.

TITANIC" ARGUMENTS BEGUN.
Supreme Court Hears Debate on LA

Arguments We're begun in the Supreme
Court yesterday in the Titanic cases.
These cases involved the question Of
liability OF the Oceanic Steam Naviga-
tion Company, Limited, owners of the
Titanic, which sank last year. The issue
is as TO whether the owners are liable
under United States law, or the laws of
Great Britain. as to the measure of dam
ages or the loss of life and property. The
court allowed two hours on each side for
arguments.
Charles C Burlingame and Norman 3.
Beecher made the argument in favor OF
the Oceanic company, and Frederick NJ
Brown appeared for Meller and Ander-
son, claimants against the company. The
arguments will be concluded today and
the case taken under advisement.
