WILSON ORDERS
CRIMINAL SUIT
Directors of New Haven Road Are
to Be Prosecuted.
MREYNoLDS is INSTRUCTED
Civil Action to Dissolve the Railway
Combine Also Called for-Attor-
ney General Fears MeIIen
May Be Exempt.

Washington, July 23-President
Wilson has instructed Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds to begin criminal
proceedings before a grand jury
against the directors of the New Ha-
ven road and to institute civil suit
to dissolve the New England railway
combine.
The position Of the president and
Attorney General McReynol0s vas
made public through letters, one from
the attorney general to President ].
H. Hustis Of the New Haven, dated
July g.; one to President Wilson from
the attorney general, dated July IL
and the presidents reply.
The concluding paragraph or the
presidents letter is as follows.
In the circumstances the course
you propose is the only one the gov
eminent can pursue. / therefore re-
quest and direct that proceeding In
equity be filed, seeking the d'ssolu'
ton of the unlawful monopoly OF
transportation facilities in New Eng
land now sought to be maintained by
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company, and that the Grim
inal aspects OF the case be laid before
grand jury"
In his letter to the president, At
torney General McReynolds stated
that IL his recommendations met with
approval, he would Immediately give
the necessary directions.
"The criminal aspects OF the case,
he stated in his letter. ''have been
kept constantly in mind; much data
bearing thereon was collected some
months ago, and care has been exer
cised to permit nothing which might
interfere with proper prosecution al
the appropriate time. We have not
held out the slightest hope that par
ties guilty of criminal violations OF
the law could escape.
In April and May last, there be
ing indication that the interstate com
merce commission, by examining
them, might immunize certain centra
figures in the unlawful arrangement
It was asked carefully to consider the
Mellen, and perhaps others iagrantlJ
culpable, were put upon the stand
and any criminal prosecution here
after instituted probably will be EN-
barrassed by claim of immunity In
terposed In their behalf
With the utmost patience and ar
intense desire to enforce the law II
such way as to bring no unnecessary
hardship upon New England or unfor
tunate holders Of the railroad secur
tiles, we have sought to compel g
restoration of lawful conditions, but as
believe without proper justification
tbs board of directors resolr ely de
cline to proceed under an approved
arrangement adequate to that end and
altogether fair"
T. letter of July to President
Hustis reviews at length the futtll
negotiations which resulted in the gov
ernment's decision to bring both civil
and criminal suits.

Council Bluffs, Ia, July 24.-With
fully thousand delegates and Wis

convention opened here. Congress
man Maurice Connolly OF Dubuque,

defeat. and one favoring the submits

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Overcoming Difficulties.

There is a passage in the scrip
lures to the effect that no man builds
house without first finding out the
cost, and no king goes to war with
out estimating the forces of the en-
envy.
1t is said of Abraham Lincoln that
in a lawsuit he used to study the
case of the opposing side even more
carefully than that of his own.
One can have too much prudence
and rate the opposition so highly that
one is afraid of being enterprising,
but the essence of efficiency is not to
despise obstacles and not to despise
yourself.
Dash, pluck and luck. without
thought, may win brilliantly once. in
a while; but the steady winner care
fully studies all the chances and Sc
lects invariably the preponderance of
probabilities.
Keep close to the general laws.
Learn the averages and follow them.

DEVELOPING FOREIGN TRADE.

The need Of stimulating foreign
trade and the opening up of new fields
for it is being recognized by the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
1nerce which has opened an office In
New York and plans to open others in
Chicago, New Orleans and San
francisco. Some interesting gains in
foreign trade have been reported for
months during the close of 1913 when
exports are usually large but it Is the
maintenance each month and a gain
which is desired for the industrial
benefit to the country, Whatever the
department Of commerce can do to aid
in such upbuilding should be under
taken, and the efforts which are being
made Indicate that there is a full real

A HELPFUL VERDICT.

If there is any cause for satisfaction
In the situation at Calumet it is in
the verdict which has been rendered
by the grand jury that the cry of
"Fire,e came from within the hall
where only friends of the miners were
allowed to enter This following an
exhaustive investigation dissipates the
idea or possibility that the cause Of the
horror came from the enenies of the
strikers and was caused by the i'll
feeling which had been stimulated by
the strike. There is no reason to be-
lieye that this verdict is not in ac-
cordance with the facts. 1t Is natural
" from the friends of the miners who
We're in a position to know and tell
the facts.
For it's effect upon the already
strained relations between the factions
in Calumet 1t is most fortunate that
such was the finding. It prevents any
fresh outbreak and tends to soften
whatever additional feeling may have
been caused by the horror. 1t also
makes it possible for the carrying on of
negotiations with a better disposition to
give fair and honest consideration
thereto. The conditions have reached
a point in that mining town where
speedy adjust is needed. One OF the
important aids to that action is the
determination that the shiriffs and
mine guards had nothing to do with
the panic. This gives note of hope
to the efforts made for the settlement
of the trouble. The quicker this can
be done the better it will be for all
concerned and none are more concern
ed than the miners.

ARGUMENT FOR INSIDE ROUTE.

The wreck of each and every coast
ing vessel along the extensive Atlantic
coast offers a powerful argument for
the much advocated system of inside
waterways, from New England to
Florida. Under the existing circum
stances there is no alternative. Car
goes are carried between the ports
along the coast with much speed and
general safety during good weather
and it affords a profitable BUSINESS and
a cheap means of transportation, but
the many vessels which are lost dur
ing storms tell the great toll which is
paid each year in human life, hair
breadth esca pes and property invest
inents. This is because there is no
other way out of it and coasting yes
sells are kept constantly on the move.
Idleness means stagnation and loss,
with the result that the Atlantic coast
is veritable graveyard from the
ravages of the ocean upon shipping
which braves all weather
Through modern Investigations and
regulations there is greater safety on
the seas than in the past but the pos
sibility of a large reduction in the
hazard Of coastwise transportation is
offered by the plan of avoiding the
high seas and carrying on this trans
portation of bulk cargoes on inland
waters where storms make little or no
difference and where the loss of life
and vessels would be reduced to the
minimum If with this conservation
of lives and property, cheaper
transportation can be afforded it GER
tainly offers a method which deserves
widespread endorsement.

JUSTICE is DEMANDED.

II isn't surprising that the world
wonders what kind of a murder must
be committed in order to have the
murderer amenable to the law and
the known penalties. We have in the
Schmidt case in New York one of tie
most atrocious murders ever com
mitted and yet a jury fails to con-
Wet. 1t was but a few years ago that
a wilfull murder was committed in
that same city. Money and influence
failed to bring to the guilty man his
just deserts and today he is defying
the authorities of the state aud vir-
tually enjoying his freedom, all be-
cause of that overW orked avenue of es-
cape insanity.
Is it because some people think a
murder cannot be committed by other
than an insane person that the
Schmidt trial has ended as it has
The murder is almost the counterpart
of Boston's famous case. In each the
accused faced disgrace or the taking
of life and they chose what seemed to
them the easiest way. They were
willing to murder that they might car
ry out their own wishes and pursue
their own course unhampered Meth
err had any excuse for being ignorant
of the penalty for such crime They
hoped by their cunning to escape de-
lection and permit the odiun to rest
upon an unknown or upon the victim
One has paid the penalty and the
other should. Justice should be ad
ministered as duty to society in
stead Of holding out by a laxity' if
the carrying out of the law an induce
nent to the commission of crime, and
particularly the most heinous.

THE DAYTON PLAN.

Wherever a new form of city gov
eminent is put into operation there is
conferred the eyes of every municipal
ity in the country. If it isn't so it
should be. Many experiments are be-
ing made for the improvement of the
manner of governing cities and it is
from such efforts that the value of the
new methods and the defects can be
determined.
The city of Dayton, Ohio has put in
to effect with the new year it's adj
vanced form of commission manager
government which has attracted SO
much attention in the formation, re-
ceived the endorsement of the National
Municipal league and gives promise Of
solving some of the important prob
lens in city government. 1t has been
adopted fer the purpose of overcoming
some Of the known weaknesses in the
regular commission form and this it is
believed will be accomplished by the
substitution of single handed control
for the five separate administrative
departments as brace to the admin
istrative side of such government.
Wherever commission government has
been adopted opportunities for perfec-
ton of previous examples have been
offered with varying results. The in
production of the city manager offers a
new feature for trial in a sizab1e city
and for that reason Dayton deserves
all the attention which it is bound to
receive. If it has anything worthy of
adoption 1t should be known. If it can
put efficiency and economy into city
government where it never existed be-
fore that likewise should be learned.
1t will be interesting to note whether
it can so change city government as to
insure that important and desirable
feature of getting. the right men in
places of responsibility.
