FIENDIsH GRIMES IN NEW YORK

Recent instances of crimnality of the most brutal
sort that have appeared in New York City include
the efforts of anarchists to blow up the Tombs
court building aud, early yesterday, the burning
to death of eight persons in tenement house in
East IWenty-nnth street which latest act has been
attributed to a socalled Black Hand" society.
Whether or not there is band of criminal black
mallers definitely organized the Black Hand
Society, there can be no doubt that fiends of the
foulest instincts make use of the term BLACK
Hand to eXtort money under threat Of death and
that once in while those threats are carried out
The New York police say that it is we'll established
that SO hours before the Twenty street ene-
ment house was burned so-called "Black-H Handlers
had threatened the lives of one of the sixteen fam
lies IN the house. The police have little reason to
doubt that the fire was the work of band of
bIackmalers.
The comparatively frequent recurrence of hor-
rble crimes Of this type automatically bring to mind
the question Is anything the matter with the New
York pohce9' The recent trials of Lieutenant
Becker and the four gunmen brought to light some
nasty conditions within the Police Department
which undoubtedly were responsible for some graft
and other criminality, but even with the appear
ance Of such fresh evidence of iendish crimnalty
as the Twenty-ninth street fire of Yesterday. it is
not fair to condemn the whole structure of the
New York police department.
Unfortunately New York is world-center for
criminals of the blacklist type and the handling of
them is one of the biggest problems confronting an
American city to-day. Even when such horrible
crimes as that of yesterday occur it is unjust to
condemn as utterly rotten the whole rank and file
of the 10000 odd men who make up the police
force. Instances of individual cowardice in that
force are so rare to be the subject of wide pub
hcity when they occur, but instances of bravery
like that for example, of Patrolman Charles Kane,
who saved the life of tenant of the Twenty ninth
streetbuilding by hanging by his feet from fire
eScape,-are so frequent to receive only passing
comment. An organization made up of men of the
admitted bravery of the average New York blue
coat cannot be put down as altogether inefficient

OUR NEUTRALITY's BEGINNING

When foreign countries fight the United States
as nation, is neutral. That has been the ease
from Washington to Wilson. Since the time when
the first President and his advisers refused to yield
to the solicitations of ''Citizen Genet and pro-
claimed the nation S neutrality, the United States
has occasion sided with European bellig-
erents.
When France asked for our assistance against
England, through its representative, Genet, the
mob assented but the government declined. The
sentiment of the people was strongly in favor of
France, which had been American ally in the
Revolution and powerfully opposed to England
with which one war had just closed and another
was pending. The urgent appeals of France aroused
sympathy; the attitude of England antipathy
Despite all this the young republic under the
guidance of him whom it learned to call Father
maintained its neutrality. True, shots were ex-
changed by American and French ships as the
result of the ''X affair" when France and
England were at war, and later, in 1872 the country
went to war with England. In neither case, how
ever, was this nation taking sides with another 1t
was fighting because of no grievances except its
own
Our nation since it became a nation has never
gone to war in alliance with another country, nor

assuredly wise one. Washington established it.

There is no Genet come to ask our aid in the
present European conflict. The waring nations

We are now under no immediate obligations to any

defeated. He would grace the highest

able man, but his success was more the
result of political manipulation than
the will of the people"

Saving the Masonic Records

The fire in the Masonic Temple OIL
Saturday, which would have been very
serious to the Masonic fraternity of
the city if the historical records had
been destroyed, is the first one of the
kind in their collection of any Mason
in the city. There is tradition that
fire occurred i'll the Wyeth building,
Market and Court streets, many years
ago, but there does not appear to be a
record OF it anywhere. At one time,
when the records of Perseverance Lodge
could not be found for some time, it
was limited that probably they had been
lost in FIRE, and this gave rise to a
story that there 'probably' had been
fire in q Masonic lodge room, but no
body could tell anything about it, The
Masonic records rescued by Mayor Roy
al and City Electrician Diehl were
kept in safe, but rather than
trust them to q safe, in the event of
the fire reaching the upper stories,
these two men took the old documents
out of the building,
