 Because he was too busy wrestling with an attack of the grip to write, Boston relatives became anxious about William E1nmons, we'll known about the slums of the city as a. tenant of lodging houses. and wrote local friends to make inquiry about him. A B. Morris. 1272 Iranistan avenue, happened to be at police headquar- ters yesterd day and, remembering the inquiry from Boston informally ask ed if EnlInons had been seen about his usual haunts within the past few days. He did not ask for a search to be made, simply made an inquiry. Shortly after leaving the building he from his illness at the home of a friend. He so notified the police.
 Enmons is generally credited with having fallen heir to a fortune in Boston with a weekly income of $50. It was learned last night that the fortune is greatly overestimated and that there is only a small amount re- ceived weekly that with the money received from odd jobs, enables him to live as he desires. Some time ago Boston relatives wished to have him locate in Boston. He tried the ex- pertinent but found that odd jobs there where he was no tknown would not enable him to make a living. AS a result he returned to Bridgeport His Boston relative is H.; B. Board man, a brother-in-law of 10 Summer street, Hyde Park. Mass.

the condemned man is a victim of the
miscarriage Of justice, while others
are equally convinced that the ac-
!cused is guilty as charged. The fact
thatsa negro, who has previously
shown his responsibility, was used
as the material witness against Frank
has thrown considerable weight on
the side of the defense, although the
prosecuting attorney before the gov
ernor a. few days ago alleged that
there was an abundance of evidence
and circumstances apart from the
negroes testimony to show that Frank
had committed the murder.
We do not carry \ rays and are no
more capable than others Of sum-
ming up this case, but one thing has
often appeared suggestive, and that
is the fact that jury Of southern
men should bring in verdict of
guilty against a white man when a
negro was his principal accuser. The
Georgians must have had positive
convictions that Frank was guilty,
and not Conley, as some prefer to
believe.

THE BATTLE OF
| WATERLOO.

One hundred years ago today The
star of Napoleon Bonaparte set
never to rise again. 1t had taken
nearly fifteen years to bring his ca
reer to close. During the time
fortune followed his arms he had
Inundated Prussia, Austria, and Rus
STA and smaller nations and caused
England to spend many millions to
escape the overwhelming tide of the
Corsican. He had carried his arms in
to the city of Berlin, had forced the
sepulchre. of Frederick the great and
unused at the sarcophagus of that H.
|, lustrious statesman and warrior. He
had shown his superiority over three
of the greatest nations-Prussla,
Austria and Russia-the sun of Aus
terilitz having smiled upon his
eagles. But the day god of the elgh-
teenth day of June, 1915, was des-
tined to set upon Napoleon de-
feated, and while the shadows were
lengthening on that eventful day the
crv went up, "The Old Guard has
broken!" Surrounded by enemies on
every side and his own army scattered
and in stampede, the former Emperor
retraced his steps to France ready to
meet the disappointed and eXaspera-
ted nation.
The last acts in the eventful career
of Napoleon can be told in few
words. He burst in on Caulalncourt
alone in the Tuileries on the night OF
June 20, and his agitation was so
great that he could not speak. AT
last he exclaimed Gail is lost! have
no longer an army or single mus
ket. Nothing but a dictatorship can
save the country. My only resources
are the people. l hope the Deputies
will stand by me"
But they did not. The words OF
LAFAYETTE told the sad story. Three
millions Of Frenchmen have persisted
for one man, who still wishes to fight
the combined powers of Europe. We
have done enough for Napoleon; let
us now try to save France"
The shade of the great Corslcah
NAV be looking down now upon ter
restrial events in the land where ne
received his quietus. Is Providence
70 reproduce the story of Napoleon IN
one now posing as defer oil the
world? We will wait and see.

CHARGES AGAINST
CUNARD COMPANY.

The inquiry into the sinking O
the steamship Lusitania by Ger
man submarine was ended in Lon
don yesterday afternoon. Anothe
session will be held to take furthe
evidence as to whether Captain Tur
ner observedly fully the Admiralty
warnings.
Attorneys connected with the cas-
say it is obvious that if zigzag
cling course was an element of safety
as an Admiralty expert testified tn
captain and owners of the steamer
Showed grave culpability."
1t is said the crew were mainly IN
tcrested in saving themselves, givine
general appearance of lack Of dis
cipline.
Restricting the number of boilers
in use adds to the responsibility q
the captain and company. The lat
ter admitted that some collapslble
boats were strapped on the tops OF
others at the time of the disaster tc
the steamer.
The evidence showed that the or
ders of Captain Turner to get the
women and children into the boats
had been countermanded. A number
of witnesses testified that they go'
into the boats and had to leave then
later on orders it being alleged thai
The ship was safe.
The proceedings of this inquiry
will be read with interest by the
many persons who in by-gone years
have been passengers on Cunar'
steamers. 1t was supposed that this
line was operated upon the safety
first" principle since its organization
about 1910. A wave boarded the LII
cania some time ago and swept sevc-
raj steeage passengers overooaro'
but up to that time no tatailtleS
had occurred on any steamer OF TINS
line. The Oregon was sunk by col
Iision in some unaccountable mannei
off Fire ISLAND in 1885, but no lives
were lost.
DiscipIine was supposed to be per
fcct on a Cunarder, and many anec
dotes have been told of the strict OF
edience by every man on steamei
of the company it being alleged tha'
II was impossible to induce man u
ncrform the slightest duty lncum'
bent upon some other employee OF th'
company. A sailor who was on water
one night when d fire started on on
of the ships refused to leave MS pos
to extinguish the flames, but tod
frightened passenger that the pro
nor man would be along presentlu!
and subdue the fire.
People, who have crossed the AZ
1,ntic on a steamer Of this compan.
have had their attention directed 4
the pautomimic manner in when Ch'
members of the crew perform thei
duties. Everything seems to be car
ried on by signs or gestures; the''
are no fierce and loud orders Oh
everything is conducted as IN a
school of mutes.
But the inquiry shows there was
lack of discipline on the lIl-1at''
Iusitania, that the company was ec
onomizing in the use of coal and ina
the safety principle was not aahere'
All this shows that those VINO 2
down 70 the sea in ships are still os
sets bv dangers, no matter which I'm
is patronized, and it is calculated
cause transatlantic passengers
loze faith in a line which has hero
fore enjoyed such reputat'o" i'
vigilance and safety to those WI
n,ace themselves under its care.
