TIPS FROM WATERS

Dry agents have been giving New York hotels of prominence consider able trouble of late, most of it being due to the action of former walters who were discarded from their em- ployment for various reasons, the chief reason being the result of a strike which failed.
 The disgruntled walters have told prohibition agents all the secrets" about some of the hotels, in this way obtaining revenge upon their former employers.
 This mean trick elicits loud guffaws from a superficial public; but one is inclined to ask as to what the walters expect to gain from such methods. Despite the muddle which has result ed, including court costs, inconveni- ence and the eliminated profits from liquor selling. the hotel managers are holding firm in the warfare with their former help. Probably they calculate to adopt a new system, unknown to their cavaliers, by which the prohibi- ton hounds can be circumvcnted. It appears that many of the first class New York hotels have no intention of lowing to the god of Nolsteadism if there is any possible way to satisfy their trade.

Y MURDERS CHARGED "
 IN FORMAL COMPLAINT
Fritz Haarmann, Hanover Slayer Possessed of Unnatural Inn
 pulses, Scientists Say.

Hanover, Germany, July 21.--Fritz Haarmann, known as the Vampire Murderer" has been charged with IT murders in an indictment just filed by the states attorney. An investiga- ton of eight other cases has not yet been concluded, although the police believe they will be able to prove his guilt in these, also to numerous dis- Appearances reported in various parts of Germany are being directly traced to his house where the crimes were committed.
 Criminologists are conducting an exhaustive survey of Haarmann's &C., tivities and the part the Hanover po- lice are alleged to have played in them. Eight officials at police head- tquarters were summariy dismissed from the service because of allega- tions that they were involved in the orgies.
 pr. Kopp, a criminoogist who has been conducting a scientific investiga ton of Haarmann's personality, said that "Haarmann is unquestionably strangely psychopathic and presents a bewildering combination of unnatural impulses" Most of the murdered men were said to have been "foaters" who were grateful for a nights lodging or drink of brandy with which Haarmann is said to have drug ged them. Haarmann admitted that he usually strangled the men while they were asleep.

THE LONDON CONFERENCE

Bankers in America. Britain, France and other countries are to loan Ger many s20o, 100000, according to the Dawes report. The money will be to establish the new German bank, but most of it to pay for deliveries to the allies and to pay the costs of the armies of occupation along the Rhine.
 Securities naturally arc needed, else bankers will be unable to interest the public in the loan. The securities re- quired are assurances that France | shall not again invade the Ruhr, and l that France shall retire from the Ruhr in accordance with the Dawes plan, and that the loan shall have precedence over all other German obligations.
 Premier Macdonald favors the plan, which is also favored by the Amerl- cans. ...
 Premier Herriot, of France, has personal views in conformity with the plan but his position in the French government Is weak; the probabilities are he will lose his premiership with in few months. He has all but yield cd to Poincare's insistence that France shall not give pledge not to act alone against Germany. France favors the loan, as it would material ly benefit her, but not at the price of relinquishing her grip upon Germany
 Follows the question as 10 who is to decide when Germany is in de- fault. It is said that the schedule of payments in the Dawes plan are rather high and that Germany may default in about three years after the plan is put in force. France will claim wilful default: Britain that 1t was un- avoi1able because of the high sched- uIe. If will make great difference as to who decides which is correct Britain wants all impartial American to make the decision upon the deci- sion will depend whether France is to be free to invade Germany or whether she will be restrained to act only with the consent of Britain.
 It is not only question of security and insurity for the loan, but the dif- terence between prosperity and chaos, peace or war.
 American public opinion and ad- ministration spok views appear staunchly in line with that of Britain. It is felt that the French foreign office should not be permitted alone 10 de- eide upon 2 vital question that will affect the remainder of civilized man kind.

FEDERAL HAREAS CORpus

The attitude Of the federal court in Pittsburgh. which granted writ of habcas corpus 10 the alleged slayer. Joseph valotta, and a stay of execu- ton of the death sentence, is sutfi- ciently remarkable to attract wide spread attention.
 The grounds on which the federal court acted appear entirely logical-- that if conviction was contrary to duo process of law 1t would be an infringe ment of constitutional rights.
 But the action of the federal court opens up a new avenue of technicali- ties in criminal procedure which can not be regarded as otherwise than favoring criminals and making their more difficult. For every lawyer can claim that his client has been convicted without due process of law, passing the claim on flimsy grounds, perhaps, but cloaking tho pretext with sufficient color to merit federal court action.

THE CRITICAL ATTITUDE

If inefTiciency were fact in any department in the city government, the Herald would be among the first to spring at those responsible and hold them up 10 public condemnation. This newsps per is critical of all public servants of all parties and insists in the public interest that they follow the road of rcctitude. So far as this paper Is aware, honesty rules in the city ad- ministration. Whenever there is gossip 10 the contrary the Herald will lose no time making thorough invcstiga- ton, and if confirmation is obtainable there are no strings tied to this news paper to prevent it from blnrting out the fact. As the city editor remarks. it would be "dcrn good story"

STATE MANAGERS

The two major political parties this year are being managed so far as their campaigns are concerned, by men chosen from the native states of the candidates. Coolidge has his Butler from Massachusetts, and Davis has his Clem l.. Shaver from West Virginia,
 It is natural that candidates should feel partial 10 astute managers from their home states. They know them personally and are acquainted with their abilities; likewise, they are as- sured of their integrity. In the second place, candidates invariably show a prcdilection to persons from their home states.
 The most notable example was President Harding, who unduly favor ed his native state of Ohio in appoint ments, but who got very poor ma terial.

SMALLPOX STATISTICS

States do not relish advertising their smallpox statistics, and 1t has rcmain- ed for the federal public health au- thoriiies to indicate the extent Of the scourge during the last few years, to wit:
 Deaths in the United States the past six months from this disease have totalled more than zoo; deaths from the same source during 1922 and 1923 totailed ss7. Tho disease has been on the increase. with 10000 eases re- ported this spring.

MORE BEACON LIGHTS

II Is true, as the Hartford courant intimates. that there Is no accounting
 for what the dear peepul" may do In an election; which may account for the defeat of Simeon F.. Baldwin by Frank B. Brandegee for the '. S. senate. Baldwin, who as governor gained a reputation that went far be- yond the limits of the state. was de- feated by Brandegee, machine cand- date.
 The victory of Brandegee over Bald win was in no sense different, nor due 10 other causes than machine victor- ies generally. Baldwin did not, as our Hartford contemporary asserts, wholly gain the ofice of governor "by reason of a division in the Republican party" unless it is assumed that the Bull Moose disaffection was well under election. The famed Rough Rider did not bolt the Republican party until after the Republican convention in June. 1912, by which time Gov. Bald win had been in office approximately year and half. The only division in the Republican ranks in Connecti- cut that helped to elect Baldwin was ae,tA ~e cans, who were disgusted with recurr- Ing machine administrations voted for Baldwin because they considered him the superior candidate. Had he not been deemed superior this faction in the G. o. P. would have voted for the regular Republican candidate.
 The same thing can happen again. Intelligent Republicans of Connecti- cut may not care to vote for an in- ferior Republican candidate if the Democratic party selects a candidate of superior qualifications Large num- bers of Republicans may be even less inclined to vote for the machine candidate if they should happen to become suspicious of possible collabor- alton between machine politics and certain gentlemen who are believed willing to profit by their identification with machine politics.
 Machine government can often give . fine account of itself in the financial records of the state under it's control. yet at bottom be dishonest; machine government often all but eliminates the public debt and has a surface aspect that appeals to the dear pee pull"
 The Republicans in power in Wash ington have reduced the public debt by more than a billion dollars in the last few years-a notable achieve ment. But at the same time they gave away extensive natural resources at Teapot Dome and in California, and precipitated enormous waste in the veterans bureau administration, and were forced 10 dispense with cabinet | m embers who when they took office | were blandishcd as best minds" Yet | the plainetoid party press endeavors to | forget the evils and propagandizes the | treasury report.
