No Occasion for Haste.

An unfortunate dlSpoSltlon prevails
Just at present to go to extremes CT
criticism and announcement OF District
officials in consequence of the strange
complexity that is known as the NC
Pherson case. Members OF Congress,
who are rightfully interested in the
maintenance of good government IN the
District, of which they are the legisla-
tive guardians, are Fastening to demand
changes in personnel, and even changes
in the form of government at the Cap
ital. Others are scoring police officials,
demanding dismissal of the superin-
tendent. And yet the case itself is by
no means in state which warrants
any specific conclusions as to RESPONSE
bility for whatever lapses of judgment
or mistakes of action may have &C.
Cured.
The case itself is somewhat compl1-
Gated, and yet it reduces to simple
formula of statement. woman died In
mysterious circumstances. A coroner's
inquest was held, and, after hasty and
evidently incomplete inquiry, verdict
of suicide was returned. A member OF
the police force. a young man who suf-
fers from no inferiority complex, but on
the contrary is animated by vigorous
spirit of confidence, challenged the YER
dict. BY his persistent agitation he
caused the reference of the case to the
grand jury, which, after what appears
iHyA ava
ton, returned an indictment charging
the husband of the dead woman with
her murder. 1t went further and
in a special report of unusual severity
charged the police officials with laxity OF
inquiry and action and recommended
the suspension of those Immediately re-
sponsible for the investigation into the
alleged crime. Thereupon the superin-
tendent of police transferred to other
posts two members of the force II
charge of detective work, those most
definitely involved in the grand jury's
report.
There is plenty of time in which to
study the circumstances of this boggle
of happenings. Justice will be admins.
tered. There will be trial of the muir
der charge-a speedy one, it is to be
hoped-and that trial will throw light
upon the question of official blunders,
If any have been committed. 1t must
be remembered that there are two
questions to be answered. One Is
whether the accused man killed his
wife. The other is whether District
police officers were negligent or incom-
petent or unfair in their discharge of
duty. The second question is being
considered by a special committee of
District officials, named for that
purpose.
Now is the time for calmness Of
utterance and judgment. If a blunder
was made in the original inquiry, it was
quickly corrected. If in the haste of
the second investigation and the stress
of i'll feeling mistake was made in ac-
cusation. the trial of the accused will
correct it. Meanwhile there is no
warrant for agitation, for Charges" or
for the drafting of amendments to the
organic law of the District government.
The President of the United States,
who is quite familiar with District
affairs, is capable of insuring compe-
tent administration.

They are voting down today, down In
the fifth congressional district IN
Georgia, to elect successor to the late

EWS AND QUOTATIONS OF THE FINANCIAL Markets
STOCKS DISPLAY
UPWARD
TREND
By W. 8. COUSINS

NEW YORK, June 1.N.s).-
Encouraged by Mondays broad up
swing in prices and the favorably
reports and statements from repre-.
sentative trade and, business CEN
tiers. bulls in the stock market
marked up prices of their favorites
in the early trading today.
The rails and oils were ready to
reflect" the Improvement in. condi.
tions generally, as well as the spe.
cific gains in net income of the well
known companies. Wall Street
took kindly to the extremely buIlish
reports on Erie Railroad, buying
the stocks in large blocks at SO,
the highest price on record and a
vast contrast from the days when
Erie was kicked around at less than
IS share. It was pointed out that
earnings Of Erie will probably
reach 50 a share this year and $12
in 1880, and that its preferred
stock Is non-cumulative as to divi.
dends.
Simms Petroleum bounced along
to SO accompanied by reports of
merger which viii put this company
in q prominent position. Sinclair
crossed 40 with sales in the stock
ranging from 100 to 1,400 shares
in a single block. Atlantic Rein
ing and Pan American B sold up
about point each.
A corner in Bendix Aviation was
limited at in responsible quarters
as the stock shot upward to 90
for a new gain of 4 points.
Speculative interest in the second
hour revolved around number of
the newcomer specialties, in which
the outside public was only NOM
inaily interested.
The agricultural implements
stocks and the fertilizers had been
thrown into panic by last weeks
drop in wheat and corn, made
further progress, and most Of the
airplane shares sold higher.
Chrysler' Motor enjoyed the bene-
fits Of the favorable production and
sales reports which have been
issued in the last few days. Wall
Street reported the formation of a
new pool" in the stock, with suf-
ficient resources to ''clean up the
shorts" At rs ChrysIer was up 8
points from last weeks low and
appeared to be well on the road
to recovery.
Call money was unchanged at
Z per cent.
