ROYALTY IN huIrPm

King Peter, Of Serbia, is reported to have died With
in the past few days. The report Is denied. The public
is left in doubt. It is a sad time for kings when one Of
them. who at times has doomed quite large n ,the news,
has become SO inconspicuous that there II no general
knowledge whether he Is living or dead.
Peter has had q checkered career. Some twenty
years ago he was living in Paris in poverty and exile
when his predecessor, Alexander, head Of the obreno-
witch dynasty, with his wife, was brutally assassinased
in their rooms in the palace at. Belgrade. the assassins
being members of the political faction opposed to the
reigning family. Peter, known as Karageorgevitch, be-
ing a descendant OF BLACK George received the news
in Paris, where he had been living as hectic a life as his
slender means would permit. made a hurried trip to
Belgrade and was acclaimed king
There was more or less suspicion that, II Peter had
not actually participated in the murderous plot, he had
at least been cognizant of it. He disavowed all knowl-
edge of it, however, and declared his intention to seek
out and bring to justice those who had been implicated
in it. So tar as is now recalled, the matter was allowed
to drift, and the murderers were never punished.
Despite this cloud on his reputation, King Peter
became very popular with his people. He seems to have
administered the affairs OF his kingdom with fair sue
cess until another crime was: made the excuse by the
Austrian government for invading Serbia. and the great
war was on.

TO MAKE n

The department Of justice evidently intends 10 fol-
low the recommendation Of Samuel untermeyer that
the federal government undertake the Investigation of
Inc scandals which were partly revealed In the New
York lockwood committees Investigation of the building
trust.
The particular subject, to which the Lockwood com
mittee devoted its first attention was the local combina-
ton for blackmail and extortion, headed by Brindell,
who was arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced. and
Is now: serving time in prison.; and also receiving honors
occasionally from the building trades Organization wxose
members In company with others, he had victimized.
The scope Of the investigation was extended because it
became apparent that it reached out further than Brin-
dell and his immediate surroundings. In his state
ment published a few weeks ago, Mr.. Untermeyer de-
clared that there existed a conspiracy nationwide in its
scope which involved many individuals, firms. and cor
porauons, associated in one way or another with tho
building trades. He said that the situation was beyond.
the jurisdiction of any local investigation committee,
that it assumed national proportions and could be dealt
with effectively only by the national government. For
that reason he urged that the federal department of
justice take 1t up. seek out those who were guilty, and
prosecute them to the limit Of the law.
The announcement. is now made that the depart
ment Of justice will ask to be used for an appropriation
Of $25o.0o0 to be used especially in this investigation
and the prosecutions which are expected to follow. 1t
is to be hoped that this sum or whatever sum may be
necessary, will be voted without question. If the facts
are as stated by Mr.. Untermeyer, there exists a condi-
ton which is absolutely intolerable. Whether other &C.
hyities than those of the building trades are involved
does not yet appear, but whoever are implicated, they
should be identified. their onenses should be made pub
hc. and they should be given the punishment which the
law provides in order that the interests Of decent people
all over the country may be protected. Business con-
Germs engaged in these trades who are innocent Of wrong
are interested in having this investigation made. Until
it is made, and until all the facts connected with 1t are
made clear, the reputation of the innocent will suffer
because the atmosphere Of suspicion will surround the
quarter Of a million dollars will be wisely invested in
bringing criminals Of this character to Justice.
