BURGLARS RUM
MAN OPENS SHOP
Korn Bakery Is Visited by
Thieves Who Are Chased
by an Employe.
GET INTO EMPIRE STORE
Secure Two Cheap Watches But Find
nc Money and Become Angry,
Throwing Tickets on Floor.

Hartwig Samuelson. 21OO1a Fifth
avenue. a mixer at the H. Korn bakery
shop, 513 Twenty-first street, entered
the establishment at o'clock this
morning and found burglars in the
place. They fed when they heard
him coming. although he did not get
a good chance to look at them, and
could offer only a meager description
OF the men to the police.
The burglars gained entrance by
removing a screen from back aper-
turc and then raising a window. EN-
actly what they got. further than lit
tie cash and a fountain pen, is not
known. but that was all that was
missing this morning.
II is presumed that the appearance
in the store of the mixer cut short
their visit. The police have been no.
titled OF the case, but thus far no ar
rests have been made in connection
with it.
Get Into the Empire.
An amateur burglary was perpe-
trated at the Empire theatre Saturday
night. Thieves climbed over the tran
som of the Empire candy kitchen.
which is conducted to the west of the
lobby of the theatre.
Two cheap watches were stolen from
the confectionery store and the thieves
then wen: into the theatre box Office.
but they were frustrated in the at
tempt 10 secure money. Presumably
becoming angry that they had secured
no cash. they scattered on the floor
5000 pigaon-holed tickets from the
boards in which they had been stuck.

The Sullivan Case.

Yesterdays proceedings at the District
building, in the matter OF Deputy FIRE
Chief Sullivan, while evincing strong
sentiment on the part of citizens in his
favor, did not reach the issue in this
case, which is made more clear by the
publication by the Commissioners Of the
testimony taken in private hearing before
Commissioner Siddons. Although nc
charges have been formulated the dep
uty chief stands virtually accused OF
having needlessly exposed five men to
danger by ordering them into the burning
building None of those who spoke al
yesterdays hearing was in position to
testify on the score of the good or bad
Judgment Of the official, and thus the
case stands in the anomalous position OF
a virtual accusation without the pres
entation of charges and without con-
frontation of witnesses, and with no op-
portunity to date for the impeached Off
Ger to adduce testimony of his own or to
cross-examiue his critics. That another
session must be held at which this op-
portunity is given stands to reason. The
Commissioners are not in a position al
this time to take final action and they
cannot well let the matter rest in Its
present shape.

Japan.

The administration feels-at any rate
expresses-no anxiety over the latest
phase of the Japanese question. Why
should it? What is there in the news
from Toxic about either the California
land laws or the situation in Mexico to
suggest an abrupt break in the relations
now existing between the Japanese gov
ernment and this government?
Since August the case as respects Cali
fornia has slumbered. We have been oc
cupied with domestic matters. Tariff and
the currency have had the call with Con-
gress and the country, and nearly every
thing else has been barred. And now the
trusts are coming on to be heard. and
some little time must be devoted to them.
Nobody in this country has assumed
the abandonment by Japan of her con-
tentions respecting the treaty rights of
her citizens residing in California. On
the contrary. her resumption of them in
some form has been expected. Now that
she has resumed them, the administra-
ton presumably will meet her in the
spirit of her advances. Why should
anybody despair of an adjustment salts
factory to both sides:
AS for the Mexican feature of the case,
Japan has taken no steps beyond those
taken by several of the European pow
ers She has subjects in Mexico. and is,
as the European powers with subjects IN
that country are, concerned for their
safety. She has sent ship to Mexican
waters. and will support what her rep
resentative in Mexico City may do for
the protection of Japanese lives and prop
erty That is what he is there for.
We cannot object to this. We are
guaranteeing the safety of no foreigners
or their property in Mexico. Our attitude
toward our own people there is not that
OF a protector We are warning them to
leave the country: and many have left.
We cannot protest therefore, when Japan,
Germany, Great Britain, France. or any
other foreign power, takes steps to safe
guard its subjects in Mexico from the
effects of possible anarchy.
We are not, as everybody both at home
and abroad knows, in the best shape pos
sfble for an emergency 1t may be, too,
that what anti-Americanism exists In
Japan and Mexico is heartened by the
fact. But it would be worse than folly
for any power, Asiatic or European, to
presume upon the fact. The President
has his critics at home here-some OF
them rather sharp in their utterances-
but not one would withhold support of
him in case of an armed clash with
Mexico, or with any power about Mexico.
Moreover, as Congress is in session the
whole resources of the government could,
and would, be voted at any time TO
remedy our deficiencies and put us into
the field in the proper order in as short
time as possible.
When the naval bill and the army bill
come up, Congress will have opportunity,
which it should improve, to do all that
should be done to prepare us for any sort
of emergency.

it is to be hoped that Its findings Will
be promptly made, and that the other

Disbar the Speed Fiends.


Aggravated ofrenses require drastic
treatment. The New York judge who
sentenced to three months in the peni-
tentiary chauffeur who speeded an auto
through crowded streets while he was
drink-crazed did well, but he did not do
enough. He stopped too soon. As no
one was seriously injured. the jail SEN
tence was probably sufficient, but as the
lack Of dead and dying was due to no
precaution of the drunken driver the
latter ought to have been barred forever
from sitting at an automobile wheel.
Then, II he disobeys that mandate, he
should be put where further disobedience
will be impossible. 1t is just such DIS
regard of life and limb that works to the
detriment of sober and sane auto owners
and drivers. Common sense and the
common rules of the road are thrown to
the winds by a -witted few. and an
outraged community. rising In vengeance
and self-defense, passes stringent ordt-
nances that result in hardship and ex-
pense to the many.

In days gone by. In days gone by.
We sang full many a quaint refrain,
And curious costumes met the eye,
Such as we shall not see again.
For nothing that we now behold
And very little that We hear
Resembles what in days Of old
Proved grateful to the eye and ear.
And yet the snowfakes as they fall
Are light and delicate and strange;
The passing birds melodious call
Will sound without discordant change
And when the blossoms OF the May
Reflect the brightness of the sky,
Earth's real life, we'll have to say.
Is fair as in the days gone by.
