The automobilist bas new foes to contend with in the judges who hold him for manslaughter when he » down and Kills a pedestrian or other victim of his speed madness. ‘On the road between North Haven and Walling- ford, Conn., yesterday an automobile driven by H. B. ‘Tuttle and Herbert Marble struck a wagon driven by John Molz, smashed it to pieces, killed the horses and inflicted injuries on Molz from which he has since died, _ Marte and Tuttle were immediately arrested and held uiider bonds on a charge of manslaughter. And on the day before Judge Garretson, in his charge’ to the Somerset (N. J.) Grand Jury, ruled that ‘where death is caused by horses frightened by a reck- lebsly driven automobile the offending chauffeur may ‘be indicted for manslaughter. Joining this with Jus- tice Dixon’s earlier charge to the Bergen County Grand Jury on similar lines we have three important judicial ‘opinions agreeing in fixing an adequate penalty for death due to fast automobiling. What was heretofore an “accident” punishable with ® fine which to a man wealthy enough to own an ftomobile was trifling is thus made a crime to be pun- ished with imprisonment. This is progress of a very satisfactory kind. | Phe Croker Charges—Commlesioner Sturgis han set out to “prove ao many things against Chief Croker that the Chief “may prove the truth of the old adage about safety in j Aumbera. DRAMATIC IMMORALITY. A play brought over from London along with Mr. #rohman’s other fall importations, the arrival of which ‘was duly noted at tho time in this column, began its career on the boards here Monday night with as frank a bid of tmmorality as was offered to an old English audi- ence by an Elizabethan playwright. It is a play with a problem, a kind of problem which it 1s to be hoped no ‘young woman ever solves just so. It is gross and earthy and nasty. And from the box-office returns already In it promises to be a great financial success, The por- nographic play is still profitable; human nature {is such that it will always be. If Mr. Podsnap were alive his fears for things that Would sully the Young Person’s innocence would be sadly intensified by the plays offered to patrons of New York theatres. Among these patrons there are so many Beboolgiris, matince audiences of them, that it seems a Pity they should be exposed to defilement by contact with the pitch there provided. An afternoon in such an atmosphere is a very unhealthful exposure for _ youthfnl morals. _. .A CHILD OF MORMONISM, When tho alienists are through with William Hooper ‘Young and have enlightened us as to whether his hom|- ‘eidal paranoia was due to cigarettes or to general degen- eracy there will be opportunities for discussing the absence of home life in the unhappy man’s youth as a _ contributing cause of the crime. It appears that when his mother was replaced by a new favorite wife, a fifth, the boy found it necessary to leave home and « urned _ out bad,” as did a brother by another wife. Some of the results of the earlier Mormon doctrine of a plnrality of wives are seen in concrete instances here.

The Institute of Electrical Engineers has been in session Mass, Out of ‘speculations on “high racing instruments” and “‘cleotrostatis’” have come aspirations toward heating towns potential stress,"* Watt meters” | from central stations, cooking meals by means of a current supplied from a power-house and running trains across the continent at an average speed of 180 miles an hour, says tho Chicago Tribune. Some of the more conservative electricians, however, a1 little bit dubious about the immediate triumph of electrical machinery. Performance has so often outstripped expecta~ tion in the modern world than in the endeavor to catch up expectetion sometimes loses itself in the next century. In the matter of rajlronds, for Instance, the substitution of electricity for steam will come, but slowly. Where there are only a few trains a day the electric current, which must be continuously maintained, Is an unsurmountable expense. It 1s only where there ts a rapid succession of trains that elec- tric power is economical. One {s quite willing to belleve, howover, with President Steinmetz that “electricity is stitl in its swaddling clothes,”” When it grows up to maturity i will, no doubt, prove to be a Joseph among the motive forces which are its elder brathren, A BRIDGE MADE WITH MATCHEs, Here is the way to build a bridge of matches spanning @ distance at least twice as long as a single match.
