One immediate good result of Deputy Commisstoner Gandsley’s inquiry into the conduct of the police in the Coney Island trolley disturbances should be the adoption by the officers on duty of a more nearly {mpartlal - attitude towards both parties to the double-fare dispute. ‘Whatever the finding of the investigation may be with regard to the complaints of ill-treatment brought by passengers against individual officers, as in the case of Mrs. Kerwin und the Potruch family, the fact that it has been ordered should disabuse the policemen detailed for his duty of the idea that whether or not the company's contention is right the use of force on elther in the controversy 1s unwarranted and the law no more sanc- tions a violent ejection at the hands of a “bouncer” than ft upholds obstinate resistance on the part of @ passen- ger. And it is not yet well established that the public fe wrong on a question on which Justices of the Supreme} justice, Acting Governor Thorne is en- Court disagree. Tt ts incumbent on the police to take every precat- ton to prevent the repetition to-day or to-morrow of | i ijjing under the same conditions. the disgraceful acts of slugging which have marked the progress of this fight. It is their duty to restrain dis- order and stop breaches of the peace by whoever com- mitted, whether the offender is wearing the company's Dadge or is & passenger exceeding the limits of resist- Gnce permitted by the law against the payment of an extra fare. Their chief concern should be to exercise thelr powers Qa peace offers to put an end to the exhibitions of lawlessness which have cast discredit on the city. SAFETY FOR EXCURSION BOATS. The reinspection of the passenger-carrying river and harbor boats begins with a satisfactory showing of se- curity within the law's intent on two popular Coney Taland boats, The vessels were found to be seaworthy and the safety appiiances generally in @ serviceable con- dition.

This fa another obvious lesson of the East River catastrophe Jand not the least important one. Forgott An interesting howing of the brief time which the ‘lesson’ rly taken to heart is furnished by the revelations of evasions of the law regulating the atorage of explosives. It was thought that the blowing up of the Tarrant drug house had impressed on the city the necessity of taking most stringent measures to prevent & similar mishap. The reports of irregularity tn the feaue of permits for explosives indicate how readily vigilance ny relapse into carelessness, GOOD WORKS BY SELF.INTEREST, Managers of the big department stores announce their purpose to adhere strictly to the rule forbidding gambling by their employees on the races, If their example were to be widely followed by employers there an be no question that the pool-room business would receive a blow more staggering than the police have Deen able to deal as yet. ven a “sure thing” crooked Industry must have victims and must cease to flourish when the victims are cut off The big stores are snaking the antl-gambling principle one of business sense and Individual advantage.
