TO AERO UNDER
WATER, 2 FLIERS ESCAPE

NEW YORK. July 27.-Lieut.
John Eiseman and Carl Rasmussen,
a student aviator, narrowly escaped
death when the seaplane in which
they were flying took a nose dive
into the bay off Fort Hamilton,
turned upside down and left the
two filters under water, strapped in
and with their heads downward.
Reserves at Fort Hamilton put
out quickly in rOwboats, and by
the time they reached the wrecked
plane both Eiseman and Rasmus-
sen had managed to unstrap them
selves and were clinging to the
wings. Their injuries were slight
and they went to their homes.

WHERE PATIENCE CEASES TO
BE VIRTUE

There are times when patience
with Samuel Gompers ceases to be a
virtue One of these pertains to his
declaration at Chicago last week to
the effect that when an injunction
encroaches upon the personal liberty
guaranteed by the Constitution of
the United States it should be dis
regarded. Not removed by legal
process but disregarded after the
manner in which an outlaw disre-
CARDS the laws.
This from the president of that
great organization, the American
Federation of Labor. a man who de-
c!ares himself opposed to bolshevism
in Russia and who now would take
such a step toward establishing it in
this country whenever it might suit
the purpose of organized labor
dominated by Compensate doesn't
brook bolshevism in the organization
of which he may be the head we
may be sure He boasts that he once
was sentenced for violation of one
injunction but, had never gone to
prison. 1t would seem that it would
be fitting to have Mr.. Gompers serve
that sentence

BUT STIMULAT-
ING

This is a pretty stable country
and we have means to do that which
is essential in the matter of MAIN
tanning sanitary and decent condi-
tions under which immigrants may
be received. 1t is understandable
that conditions at Ellis Island have
been difficult, but they should not
have been permitted to become a
subject of investigation by the
British ambassador under orders
from the British foreign secretary.
1t appears he performed the I'M
pleasant task assigned to him with
fair discretion and sense of justice.
The authorities are said to be
diligent in doing the best possible
under the circumstances. They have
again and again cleaned up only to
be overwhelmed by the filth accom-
panyinS immigrants landing in
hordes with inadequate accomoda-
tons for their needs.
Disagreeable as it is to feel the

to establish suitable facilities for
handling those whom we permit to
come in. The incident has been
productive of other good; it has call
ed attention to the advisability for
all parties concerned in having the
immigrants undergo inspection be-
fore they leave their home ports.

that. the forced price advance OF
few months ago was entirely unwar-
ranted under the law of supply and
demand. The forces operating to
cause that rise in price were partly
speculative and partly political.
There was, and still is, a powerful
organization agitating for free sugar,
or at least for a reduction in the duty
on sugar. a condition which United
States growers of beet and cane
sugar say would be ruinous to them.
The tariff is now two cents a
pound on raw sugars of 96' test, with
20 per cent less on sugars imported
from Cuba, the differential cutting
there TO about 1.76 cents. When the
price of granulated sugar was forced
up rapidly a few months ago. ap-
proXimately four and a half cents
pound, this political contingent
vociferated that the rise was due to
the tariff and asserted that If the
duty We're reduced or eliminated, the
price would drop.
What happened? With no change
in the tariff, and with the practical
assertion at Washington that there
would be no reduction under the
elastic provision of the Tariff Act, the
price dropped 1t did not drop because
there was a tariff-though it would
be as logical so to assert as it would
be to declare that the tariff caused
the recent forced rise. The price
dropped because large quantities OF
Javan sugar appeared in the market.
1t is continuing to go down because
the Javan sugars keep coming. The
price of raw sugars, duty paid. is
now we'll below six cents a pound.
with tendency still downward and
with light demand-and at a season
when sugar prices usually are high
est with demand heaviest.

TRADE INTEREST IN EUROPEAN
AFFAIRS

The large majority of Americans
wish, and rightly so, to avoid
European entanglements, not to mix
in a family brawl in that part of the
world, but the person who assumes
we have no interest, neghborly,
altruistic or otherwise. evidently
isn't informed respecting the actual
situation.
While our exports to Europe dur
ing the first six months of this year
decreased four per cent as compared
with a like period last year, the fact
remains that Europe was our largest
customer. Our exports to that part
of the world We're half of all we eX-
ported and amounted to $3.50. 900. 900.
Moreover we increased our purchases
from Europe by forty per cent for
that period onehccount of imports of
wool, tin and pig iron and other COM
modities. This indicates that our de-
mand for these raw materials was
due to excellent industrial conditions
in this country. Possibly largely be-
calse of unfavorable conditions in
Great Britain we sold her less cot
ton by thirty million dollars than for
a like period in 1922.

"LlKE THIRTY CENTS"

Senator Brookhart Is being called
to answer for charges made after his
f1amboyant. accusatory fashion. He
is said to have declared that H. T.
Meredith, secretary of agriculture
under Wilson, sat in the Wall street
game and helped produce the great
est panic in farm prices in the his
tory OF agriculture"
Mr.. Meredith naturally takes ex-
ceptions and has instructed his at
torneys to file suit for libel against
Brookhart and for damages for 80
cents, estimating Brookhart's effec-
tiveness at that sum. The latter may
retort that Meredith would be unable
to prove that the value of the char
acter involved in the charge would
exceed thirty cents. Be that as it
may, we hope the suit will be pushed,
that Brookhart will be compelled
under oath to substantiate, if posi-
BILE, which may be doubted, one of the
many loose mouthed charges he is
making.
On the other hand it is to be as
stunned that Brookhart will court the
publicity and care nothing for ex-
posure. He is recently back from
Russia with glowing accounts of
what bolshevism - doing in that
country and leaving the impression
that this country needs something of
the sort. If we get it Brookhart
would fit into the scheme neatly as

WHAT BECOMES OF SEIZED
LIQUORS?

1t is only rumor, to be sure. that
report about Washington inspectors
finding in and around Boston a
shortage Of seized liquor and alcohol
TO the value of million dollars.
The newspaper report states that the
local prohibition Office admitted that
a shortage existed but declared 1t
was no more than should be ex-
pected where large quantities of
liquors are handled.
Why liquors more than groceries
Presumably large dealers in grocer
les, even though handling enormous
quantities, would hardly expect to
find that a million dollars worth of
these, or any appreciably large
quantity had disappeared. II they
did presumably quite a number of
employees would lose their Jobs, II

men landed on the island and after
fierce battle drove the savages away.
In that fight 10 red men were killed
and three white men. The island
probably got its name from one of
its early owners, George Jewell, of
Saco, who was drowned in Boston
harbor in 1S4S. For many years the
belief prevailed that Captain Kidd's
treasure of gold, silver and jewels
was buried on the island and many
rod of it's surface has. been dug up
in the vain search. From 1928 to
1873 Jewels Island was owned and
occupied by Captain Daniel Chase
who created upon it a large and
productive farm. He died in Deer
ing, March %, 1881. at the age of 81.
For many years the island has been
owned by Mrs. James Mexican, who
with her two daughters passes the
summer months there. Mrs Nc
Keans late husband was a proml-
nent lawyer and financier in New

The next morning when the bunny
boy woke up he found half hidden
among the dried leaves in the hollow
stump a little gold box. 1t was a
beautiful box carved with gold
flowers and fitted with small lock
and key.

didn't for if he had, the magic of the
box would have disappeared.
Instead, he tucked the box under
his arm and started off for a great

a neighboring hilltop.
On reaching the postern gate, he
knocked boldly upon it with the
handle of his jack knife. In
minute. it was opened by little old
