WHITMAN IN DOUBT.

District Attorney Whitman Is not inclined to attach, any importance to- the confession of "Dago Frank" on the morning of his execution when he said that Lieutenant Becker had nothing to do with the murder of a gamblers quarrel that caused the crime. It is being intimated that the confession, as reported, would have no standing in court. What has that to do with the preparation of the case against Becker? The point to be considered, 1t would seem. is truth and a man who was about to die having had the attention of a clergyman and who professed his belief in God in hereafter would hardly tell lie at such time, and what he said ought to be considered as tending to show the guilt or in- nocence of another who is charged with murder. Even though the con- fession. so called, may not be ad- missible in a court of law it should make an impression on the man who is preparing to prosecute another person for murder.
 "Dago Frank" said that Harry Val lon was one of those who fired the shots at Rosenthal, while the dis trict attorney does not believe it, and says that Vallen is coward and would be afraid to do suoh q thing Which Is to be believed, the man who made dying statement or the law yer who Is just guessing at it7 Rose of course will deny ''Dago Frank's'' story, but is he any more deserving of belief than the young fellow who has paid for his participation in the crime with his life? There is no de- sire to shield Becker if he is guilty but the evidence against him comes from such a peculiar source as not to excite general belief.

MELLEN'S CASE NOLLED.

The state's attorney for Hartford county and the attorney general of the state report that they are unable to find any evidence that would war rant them in going to trial on the charge of manslaughter against Charles s. Mellen and they have re- commended that the case be nolled, a recommendation that has been adopt ed by the court.
 It has never appeared that this charge could be proven against Mir. Mellen. but there was a feeling that the case should be thoroughly con- sidered with view of determining whether or not the president of a railroad could be held criminally re- sponsible for the loss of life in a rail- road accident. Similar cases have been tried in other states and the verdict was not guilty and now the verdict in this is that there isn't suf- hoient evidence upon which a prose- cution can be successfully built.
 It would be strange to hold man responsible for an accident when he had nothing to do with it. If that were the law 1t would be difficult to get any one to hold these positions of responsibility. The decision in the Mellen case. is generally regarded, as a fair and sensible result of a most peculiar. case. ..s@%a.> n..,.r

ADMINISTRATION NOT
 AN ISSUE

The Courant this morning said that the Wilson administration was repu- diated in yesterdays election in thls city. Nothing could be farther from the facts. The Wilson administration had no more to do with' the result in the local contest than the war in Mexico.
 Some people never get it into their heads that municipal elections have no relationship to state or national questions, that it is usually the man and not the party who is chosen for a city office and that it is all purely matter of business. The time is coming when the name of party will not head any ticket in a muni- cipal contest; it Is being done now in some places and wherever the ques- tion is given any serious considera- tion the verdict Is in that direction. The dominant idea is 70 completely divorce politics from city manage ment and when it is done city ex- penses generally will be less and change in the appointive power will not necessarily mean a change in the subordinates. This will keep efficient men in office and that is what will count in having good work done at minimum of expense.

Hectic Social Restlessne.ss. (Philadelphia Public Ledger

The suddenness of the remarriage of George Cornwallis-W West to Mrs. Patrick Campbell two hours after tho divorce decree obtained by his for mer wife became absolute, is typical of the celerity with which marriages thought to have been made in heaven of "feminism" rampant, of militant suffragism, of home neglect and ma terial indifference, of soulmates and trial marriages and other symptoms of uncurbed and hectic social rest lessness. The travail of civilization through all the centuries at times seems to have resulted in a more selfish assertion of individual license than ever; it is fortunate that most persons, kept at work to earn their daily bread, have no leisure for such divagations, and no patience with those whose life is that of the "cor- rupt and luxurious idler' contem- plating fresh contraventions of the seventh commandment.
 The former Mrs. Cornwallis-W West who was Miss Jennie Jerome, then Lady Randolph Churchill. has had a plenitude of reasons to rue the day that saw her welded to a man twenty one years younger than herself who was in no particular her intellectual compeer.
 In the case of Lord Randolph, the precipitancy of the courtship had a happy sequel. They were engaged at

Telephone Inlpositions.
(Wakefeld Item.)

(Wakefleld Item.) .#
 Complaints that people having par ty-line telephones use them to excess and to the exclusion of others on the public service commission. The telephone company expresses doubt that a rule limiting conversation to five minutes could be justly made or enforced, but may take some steps to urge cooperation on the part of such subscribers.
 Five minutes would be pretty short period for business conver- sation of any importance, but some abuses can be corrected by the op- orators, providing they have orders from the company One family play ing a photograph, for instance, for the benefit of a distant friend, whose line Is connected with theirs is one form of hoggishness on the part of subscribers. Quite recently a Wake field family on party line tried for something like half an hour to use the telephone only to find each time that another subscriber on the line was playing talking-machine records to entertain some friend. The first named subscriber was obliged finally to go to a neighbor and report to the chief operator.
 We heard of another instance re- gently where a telephone subscriber was politely asked if she would hang up the receiver long enough to enable the inquirer to call a doctor, but the request was refused. As a result, g. messenger had to be sent for the doc tor.

THE RESULT.

The election has had an unexpect-
 q result, and what is still more of a |urprise is the plurality with which
 ach republican candidate carried the
 ity, Alderman Quigleys vote exceed-
 ng that of MT. Halloran by 1860 and
 lecting him mayor of the city for he next two years. It was a great
 epublican victory; 1t was made cer-
 ain by the heavy vote cast in all or
 he wards and Chairman Klett of the
 own committee is being highly com
 pended for his energetic service in

 uietly kept at work. expressed con-
 dence in winning and the result ex-
 eeded his expectations.
 The Quigley victory may be ao-
 ounted for in various ways. The peo- lie evidently came to the conclusion
 hat he was working in their interest
 nd the strong opposition manifested +gainst his candidacy confirmed them
 this belief. Some of the feeling Igainst him was carried to the polls. but much missionary work was con.
 ucted from the night of the caucus

 he fall campaign. which was urged
 Is reason for support, and the general enthusiasm which radical
 sua1ly arouses. all helped to swell Ris vote and to give him an unprece- tented victory for the office of
 nayor. MT. Halloran did not run as Eell as was expected in the upper yards, falling behind his ticket in
 he sixth, and the returns suggest hat no one voted for the democratic lominees in these districts except the 3yed in the wool party men. The ithers voted for MT. Quigley and
 is associates on the republican ticket
 nd they undoubtedly had the SUD- bort of the Independent voters. The dissatisfied republicans voted for tfayor Halloran. particularly. the
 hird ward. but the sentiment there kept constantly decreasing and those 1ho adhered to their decision to the
 ast to support the democratic nomi- bee were unable to stem the tide of Influence that was gradually cutting town the so-called Quigley opposi- lion. There was no progressive party Ind though the republicans them elves hardly realize it the election bf Mr. Quigley has unexpectedly
 ended to unite the organization and 'nake 1t stronger than 1t has been for Fears.
 The mayor-elect has not used the best of judgment in discussing city af- tairs, although his election suggests lhe opposite, but now that he has Eon conservatism may take the place of radicalism and with respon- fibility may come a carefulness in Epecch and action which will enable him to give the city a good adminis- |ration.

OPERA co. IN
NEWARK THEATRE
Olympic Organization to Use
Playhouse Pending construc-
ton of New Home.

Final arrangements were made to-
day for the use of the Newark The
atre as a temporary home of the
lympic Park pera Company pending
the construction of a new and modern
opera house at the park to take the
place of the one burned yesterday.
The company will open at the New
ark Thursday night in Naughty
Marietta" with the same cast that
was to have produced the opera at
lympic Park, and will follow this
next week with revival of Reginald
De Koven's 1.-THE Fencing Master"
1t is expected that the engagement
at the Newark will last less than
three weeks, as work on new the
atre at the park is under way al
ready, and it has been promised by
the contractors and architects that
the building will be ready for use by
Monday, June %.
The new opera house will far sur
pass the old one in every respect.
The stage will be more modern and
equipped with all the latest devices
in scenic and lighting effects. The
auditorium as planned will not be a
barn-like structure like the old one,
but instead will be built on a smaller
scale. It is planned to seat between
/ 500 and 1880 people instead of $500,
the seating capacity of the old house.
The stage will be of the same gem
eral size as in the old theatre, but
will have several more dressing
rooms than the old structure boosted.
| The auditorium will be 16ox60 feet in
size as against 1s5X80, the size of the
old one.
Work on clearing away the few
beams, twisted iron rafters and seat
frames that remained of the old
house was started yesterday within
twelve hours after the fire that RACED
the opera house in less than half an
hour after it was discovered. Today
the carpenters and masons were at
work laying the foundations and sills
for the new opera house.
All day yesterday members of the
| opera company were delving into the
ruins trying to discover jewelry, cos
tunes, etc, that had been in the
trunks that had been burned.

| tor of the opera company. spent the
| greater part of yesterday in New
York gathering scenery and costumes.

be used in 1.-THE Fencing Master" the

Standing on the bank of the lake
in Branch Brook Park, last night,
John Sloczyuski, twenty-seven years
old, a porter, living in East Jersey
street, Elizabeth, slashed his throat
with a razor blade and then threw
himself into the lake.

dived in after him. Sloczyuski
fought the officer and was dragged
to the bank with no little difficulty.
Then he was rushed to the City Hos
pital.
There it was found the would-be
suicide had drawn the blade of a
safety razor across his neck, the cash
running from ear to ear and barely
missing severing the jugular vein.

held nothing for him, he said. He
