The movement for a square deal in the Tillinghast case increases daily in strength, Will Mr. Jerome heed it? Can he remain indifferent to popular dis- approval of the manifest miscarriage of justice for which he was responsi- ble? A hasty jail sentence for the little criminal making a clean breast of his offense to expose greater ras- cality, and immunity for the cor- poration accused, is contrary to jus- tice. If Tillinghast’s self-accusations were sufficiently incriminating to se- cure his conviction they were of sufficient gravity to give substance to an investigation of the officials accused of complicity. If he is deserving of punishment they, as parties, by his charges, to crimes of an identicat nature, are more culpable. Tillinghast’s offenses were not of his own instigation, Let his cell door be opened to aid in opening that other “door” to which the trail led, THE ELSBERG BILL STOPPED. The thing done and the men who did it are interesting. The Elsberg Rapid Transit bill, for years advocated by every man and organization which is honestly trying to help the city save itself from the chitches of traction monopolists, has been killed in the Senate Cities Committee. The men who did it were Grady, McCarren and Martin, Democrats; Davis, L’'Hommedieu, Cooper, Carpenter and Cordts, Republicans. What interest had these country Republicans in doing Ryan’s dirty work'against the city? What excuse have these city Democrats? Have their constituents nothing to say about such “representation” in Albany? THE ICE OUTLOOK. What is the truth about ice? The trust’s President, to whom the outlook was a gloomy one last week, now indulges the hope that “Maine ~ may save the situation.” His further statement that “the conditions may » yet be made normal” furnishes an instructive commentary on the alarmist arguments used as an excuse for hoosting prices. Much of the uncertainty of the situation is due to conflicting reports about the stock on hand. If it is true, as trust officials say, that only _ 300,000 tons was left over from last year, the fact reveals an extraor- }\ dinary lack of foresight. With last winter an exceptionally favorable season for harvesting ice at low cost, and the season before that the best on record, why was so small a reserve supply maintained? Why this winter were the independent dealers around Hudson, N. Y., able to cut 125,000 tons, where the trust, as reported, cut but 6,000? Against the trust’s pessimistic figures are the statements of observers | Ree along..the Hudson contain approximately 3,000,000 tons, : | ,000 of which is last year’s stock. In a single eight-mile stretch be- 4 tween Coxsackie and Catskiil a dozen houses hold 250,000 tons. Not- : | withstanding the reported shortage in Maine it is said that “plenty of ice is to be had” there at from 75 cents to $1.25 a ton. BERTHE CLAICHE’S PLEA, Berthe Claiche has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree. Of course she shot Gendron, her slave-driver. The wonder is that more of his kind, whose number and whose despicable character are revealed in the testimony in this case, do not travel the same road to a death that would leave the public quite dry-eyed. . The woman in the case is one. How many sisters has she, equally beset with undescribable and almost unimaginable wrongs?
