ployed men turns out have been little trick OF
the I. W. W. That enterprising organization has
sense for publicity that would bring large returns
in money making concern. The homeless thou

which they bescged. But they did get on the front
page Of every newspaper in the city.
A deserved publicity, too. think. Tho whole
problem Of the unemployed Is hopelessly entansled
with the vagrancy problem. And no one commu-
nifty car do very much by itself toward carrying the
iobess over period OF depression Also. when
the question OF central employment agencies comes
UP for discussion one OF the conclusions reached is
that the supposed experts are far from agreeing
upon ways and
Nevertheless, the feeling that widespread uncm
ployment is piece of social injustice and public
disgrace is growing steadily The lazy and the use
less will always have their troubles. But the hard

conference Just concluded in this city recommends
a federal bureau Of distribution. As beginning
toward the solution Of this difficult problem, this
measure is entitled to the prompt and serious con

\ Demand on the Mayors Patience

Nothing could he neatcr than the way in which
the magistrates in the second district reconced the
demands OF humanitaranism that eminent local
political lights holding nice jobs court clerks be
not added to the already numerous unemployed and
the demand of Mayor Mitchell that the magistrates
appoint lawyers clerks in the interest Of court
efficiency The clerks retain the jobs and the Mayor
got resolution for procedure.
II Will doubtless console the Mayor to know that
while those politicians 10 whose presence in clerical
place he objected were all reappointed the magis
trates favored-for the futurea classified ser
vice That means that any politician wishing the
extra nice job Of chief clerk will have TO enter court
work ordinary clerk assistant even and
work no as vacancies occur In time this may bring
about state Of affairs such as the Mayor wished
but his patience will have to be strong

The glst Of Admiral Won Dederichs's eleven thou

Manila Bay appears 30 be that the American com
mander insisted upon maintaining effective blockade

to the extent of firing upon any vessel which refused
to comply with the rules.

CONGRATULATIONS.

our heartiest congratulations are due
to The New York Tribune. Fortutous
advertising is often the best advertising.
We had hardly thought The Tribune could
hope TO have Judge Hand enter SO heartily
into the furnishing OF such advertising to
any worthy newspaper enterprise. His
decision imposing "A $500 fine on each OF
the loyal Tribune men who refused to
siye the source OF exclusive news is worth
more than anything that cas be put on
the bilboards TO that publishing corpora
ton And If the judge keeps his promise
and sends the defendants TO Jail. giving
them a habeas corpus case with appeal
TO the Supreme Court OF the United
states. ne will deserve further thanks
from the defendants employers.
The freedom OF the press is involved.
No reporter who would give away" an
informant and surrender that informant
to the tender mcrcies Of bureaucratic SUI
periors in the customs service would be
worth his salt Breach OF trust is tho
objectionable sin in news-gcttcr. When

FRANK CRITICISM OF OUR COURTS
How the Bugaooo OF Error Handicsps
Courts and Defeats Justice.

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: You arc light about the decision
OF the Court Of Appeals OF New York
concerning Becker.
Judge Goft conducted the trial OF Becke"
with more conservatism than the trial Of
the gunner ! happened 10 be present n
the Becker trial. substantially the same
evidence and the same witnesses convict
cd the gunner as convicted Becker. The
Court OF Appeals affirmed one conviction
and reversed the other. because Of error
% the fudge below The dissent of Judge
Werner shows division OF opinion.
This buCaboo of error oelow. always a
farce. has been exploded In many states
or the Union. The temper Of modern
times is TO affirm verdcts in criminal
cases unless there is manifest error. The
great trouble is that judges especially
those who have been long on the bench.
trained under the common law and &C
customcd to fudge q slight error 10 be
manifest error. cannot overcome their
habit OF thought. The Constitution pro-
vidcs for the protection Of the individual
I'm criminal cases. requiring Indictment,
reasonable bail. trial by jury, counsel, etc.
II does not provide for appeal. Persons
can DO convicted and punished without
appeal. When the statute provides for an
appeal the Appellate Court should not set
aside verdicts unless for the grossest
errors.
In New Jersey in civil cases bills OF ex
ception and writs Of error are abolished,
appeals are taken and are in the nature
Of a rehearing. and 10 judgment shall he
reversed or new trial granted on the
ground of misdirection or improper adj
mission or exclusion Of evidence, or for
error as to matter Of pleading or pro-
cedure, unless after examination OF the
whole case It shall appear that the error
injuriously affects the substantial rights
OF q party. The English Court Of An
peas has much wider powers on review
than is given here. In criminal cases N

indictment shall be reversed IJr any i'm
perfection, omission. defect In ,or lack Of
form. or for any error. except such as
shall or may have prcjudiccd the defend
ant in maintaining his defence upon the
merits. So YOU see that al depends upon
tho attitude or mind OF the Judge.
This reversal OF judgments below by
appellate courts is the greatest wea. ness
in court procedure. II really means the
escape OF the defendant. and Il very often
happens that this shadow " The appellate

PRESS UPHOLOS TRIBUNE
Defends Stand Of Editor and
Reporter in Contempt Case.
REPORTERS IN CONTEMPT.

Two Tribune men were yesterday fined
$500 each for contempt of court. They
had scored beat by printing advance
news i'm two smuggling cases, and re-
fused TO reveal the leak in the federal
offices whence il was presumed they
drew their information
The reporters are accused Of no crime.
They are not even charged with an i'm
moral act Their contempt consists not
in printing advance news but in refusing
TO aid the United States District Attor-
ney In discipining his cohorts. No fact
was printed by them that was not later
given OFT for publication and spread
upon public record.
Presumably. the two mon punished
would be as quick as any others TO come
TO the help Of the government If neces-
sary. Here the call is faint Justice has
not suffered from their act. The Llttau-
ers may not have been punished with SUI
ficient severity and impartiality, but that
was not the reporters fault.
Acting upon the advice Of the Depart
ment Of Justice. President Wilson wrote
pardons in advance for the accused re-
porters. holding them secure Of punish
ment if they would give up their inform
ants names. They have chosen to carry
their refusal to the Supreme Court in
stead. Did any one suppose they would
do otherwise? To have betrayed in such
n case the men who trusted them would
have earned the contempt OF many who
are not in the profession Of journalism,
rs well as most Of those who are.
The Supreme Court may let the fine
stand. But one Of the Supreme Court S
oVn decisions was once printed in add
vance and nothing serious came OF il,
either Of public harm or private penalty.
IT may be actionable contempt OF which
the two men are accused, but surely
there are greater wrongs and more ur-
gent cases demanding the attention OF
federal prosecuting attorneys.-The New

vulging the information that certain men

crime has thereby been committed. The
