Why?

The mystery surrounding the adj
ministration Of justice by the Dis
trict Attorneys Office is not lessened
by what has been brought out in the
Cushing case.
A sixteen-year-old boy was killed
two and one-half years ago in broad
daylight on the roof of tenement
house. Concerning the homicide
there were conflicting statements.
But going back over the ground, l.
though the trail was cold, Mr.. Whit
man presented evidence deemed suf.
ficient by the grand jury to indict
two policemen.
1t develops that soon after the
killing the case was brought before
grand jury and that one Of the as
sistants of Mr.. Swami was in pos
session of practically all the evil
dence on which the Whitman grand
jury acted. Yet the case was not
pressed and the jury did not indict.
Why was there an Indictment in
1921 and none in 1918? What influ-
ence, if any, interviewed to bring the
early proceedings to a close? And
why, at a critical juncture, was
there failure to press for an indict-
ment in the Elwell case?

In Strict Confidence
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago l was in the
Grove Street Station in the Hudson
Tubes. / observed that about half of
the men passengers. were smoking.
Having always understood that smok-
ing in the subways in New York was
forbidden by law, l inquired of the
platform attendant whether smoking
was now permitted. Laying his hand
gently upon my shoulder, he whispered
confidentially an apologize "No," his
manner plainly implying "But for
tho love of Mike don't tell anybody!''
If the prohibition of smoking in the
subway is based on sound reasons the
regulation should be enforced, other
wise repealed. Has public opinion in
New York, in sanctioning defiance of
the Eighteenth Amendment, committed
itself to the policy of carrying indi-
vldualism to its logical conclusion?

Santo Domingo and Hayti

e. In connection with Admiral
e, Knapps report on Haytian condi-
tions the voices Of our friends the
Dominicans are heard in a plea for
81 differentiation - for discrimination
between them and the Haytians.
-, The Dominicans have the bad luck
to reside on the same island with the
Haytians. Yet the two peoples speak
different languages and little resen1-
bic each other in spirit and history.
The Haytians for more than CEN
tury have been possessed of o SEEM
ingly uncomfortable desire to post
haste back to barbarisnG First they
slaughtered the whites and then the
- halfbloods. They have reduced to a
waste region which the French had
made the richest area of the West
Indies. On broad grounds it was
necessary to do something to save
them from themselves, and a treaty,
ratified by both parties, prescribes
: our responsibilities. Our occupation,
whatever excesses and mistakes have
narred it, is one of which the nation
need not be ashamed, and is gradu-
Tally bringing back some measure of

sscans are of different quality. White
giblood and leadership have been con-
Sserved. Santo Domingo has had
81roubles, but on the whole she has
made satisfactory progress, Yet when
we went into Hayti with good rea-
sen, about the same time we jumped
into Santo Domingo with no reason

~ tAe EultoE' Oh ARe tribune.
Sir: In recent issue of The Trib-
une ! noticed an account Of speech
by DIR. Earl S. Parker, made to church
and missionary society members
gathered at luncheon in the Lawyers
Club "Pray God for an Andrew Jack
son to deal with California IS she de-
serves" was his gentle wish for his
native state; and by chat same token
he revealed himself as secretary Of
that Little Group Of Serious Thinkers
who have chosen to be called "The
American League for Justice" In the
spirit Of our national outdoor sport I
have always had more than sneaking
Yondness for the American League, but
Il Mr.. Parker's Little Group must serve
it with trimmings why not call it
THE American League for Japanese"
and tell US what it is all about?
The American League for Justice is,
by all indications, an association
formed III tho West for the purpose of
carrying pro-Japanese sentiment into
the East, where little or nothing is
known about California's quarrel with
the Mikado's government In Mr..
Parker's expressed sentiments hear
the came scolding of California
naughty, headstrong child!-and the
same criticism OF Senator Phelan--
wicked. selfish politician!-that have
characterized all the, attacks upon
California's decision to hold her
shores against the yellow tide.

Flexible Fares

During the dizzy period Of govern
mental control of the railroads the
flexible rate principle, which first
bcgan to color our laws when the
. Hepburn act was passed, was discov'
cred to have something The matter
with it.
Superfcially it seemed indisputa-
bic that justice was done when rate
sufficed to meet operating expenses
plus a reasonable return on the
property devoted to public use, and
that when deficiency in income de-
yeloped it was easy to balance it by a
rate increase. But in practice it has
been found that expenditures. and
hence rates, have way of spiraling
upward in vicious circles.
The trouble has been that in
ccntive to efficiency, using the word
IN broad and inclusive sense, was
removed. 1t is now realized. that
rates cannot be indefinitely pushed
up--that a level may be reached
which is more than the traffic will
bear. The railroads now front this
iron fact, and their present effort is
S not so much to raise rates as to re
.ecure control over expenditures.
1t is a weakness of the traction
bill introduced at Albany that it
aeens too much based on the flexible
5. 2rc or cost-of-service idea.
This is implied rather than said,
~, though allowing that the point
= .tst altogether clear, it is possible
to gather that the authors of the
j, 3e2aure assume no great difficulty
. III be encountered in keeping in
come and outgo at corresponding
levels. Serious consideration needs
TO be given to the question of what
means are to be adopted to control
expenditure before the principle of
fare boosting to absorb deficits is
fatty accepted.
The Governor indicates that he
e has some perception of the i'm
portance of this phase Of the trac-
ton problem by suggesting sliding
scale, under which the profit of the
operating company would increase
with lowered fares and decrease
with raised fares. Perhaps some
,s thing can be achieved along this line.
% This device has worked we'll in some
% asses when applied to gas compa-
MES; but attempts to apply it in the
traction field so far have failed. The
business appears too complex.
Probably the most effective solu-
ton is to onbine the flexible sys-
TEN with fixed maximum, or, if not
ais, to provide that, in addition tc
control over fares, the supervising
commission shall have control over
expenditures. To put on q commits
sion the business Of meeting oper-
ating expenses, no matter how high

+ tion system is administered, is dan.

COOL FOOD WITHOUT
ICE NOT DIFFICULT
Window Box Is Especially Useful
in Winter Months.
Cellar is Utilized by Many People as
Air There Is of About Proper Tenn
perature-Perforate Shelves
Are Handy.

In ice chests food is chilled by arti-
ficially cold air. naturally cold air can
also be used In many ways for the
preservation of food. A simple way Of
keeping food cold, especially in winter,
is by means of a window box. The
most convenient kind fits on the win
dow ledge close up to the window,
preferably on the north side of the
house 1t should be dust and fly proof
and some arrangement for ventilation
should be made.
The air in the cellar is cool and is
utilized by many people for cooling
food. A shaft made of wood or wood
and plaster and extending from the
cellar through the roof is a device for
utilizing the cool air of the cellar,
which is particularly adapted to
cool, dry climate Wire or perforat-
ed shelves are fitted into the shaft
al convenient heights where it passes
through the kitchen or pantry. In
front Of the shelves should be placed a
door opening from the shaft. AS the
air in the upper part of the shaft
grows warmer, the cool air from the
cellar is drawn up, this constant up
ward movement of cool air cooling the
food on the shelves. Where there is
no suitable cellar the shaft may open
through the wall of the house just
above the ground. Both ends of the
shaft should be screened.-United

GRAPE JUICE USEFUL
TO FLAVOR DESSERTS
Ample Supply Is Easily Obtained
by Housekeeper.
Unfermented Product, Properly Made
and Bottled Will Keep for lndefi-
mite Period if Not Exposed
to the Atmosphere.

Wise housekeepers can have plenty
of grape juice for use not only as a
beverage but as flavoring in various
tempting desserts. The following di-
rections for making it are given by the
United States department of agricul-
ture:
Only clean, sound, well-ripened but
not overripe grapes should be used.
These may be crushed by a potato
masher or some similar implement, or
the juice may be pressed out in an or
binary cider mill. Pour Immediately
into glass or enameled vessel and al
low 1t to stand overnight. Drain the
through several thicknesses of clean
flannel Pour into clean bottles, leav-
ing space at the top for the liquid to
expand when hot Put bottles on a
false bottom In wash boiler, If no
commercial pasteurizer is available;
fill boiler with water to within an
inch or so of the tops of the bottles.
Place a thermometer in one of the bot
ties and heat until the juice reaches
temperature of $50 degrees; then take
the bottles out and seal or cork them
Immediately. Only new corks that
have been soaked for 30 minutes In
water at a temperature of about 40
degrees should be used. 1t Is we'll TO
take the further precaution of sealing
the corks with paraffin or sealing war
to prevent the entrance of mold germs.
Grape juice may also be made by
adding one pint of water to every five
pounds of grapes. Concords and Mag
aras make an acceptable product.
Crush the grapes, add the water,
bring nearly to boiling point, and
strain. Add one-half cupful Of granu-
lated sugar to every quart of juice.
Bring just to a boil, pour into boiled
bottles or cans, place in water bath,
and boil ten minutes; seal air-tight.
Unfermented grape juice properly
made and bottled will keep Indefinitely
If not exposed TO the atmosphere or to
Infection from mold germs. When a
bottle is once opened, however, the
contents should be used as soon as
possible.
