Stns Attorney-General McReynolds will do some hard thinking before he attempte in any way to interfere with the Interstate Commerce Commission’s inquiry into the New Hoeven scandal. That inquiry is now pressing hot-footed after big fects. The | testimony of Thorne and Billard has brought ue nearer than ever to the elusive, mysterious forces of finance responsible for the out- | Fageous wrong done to New Haven stockholders and to the business standards of the country. f {The Interstate Commission hes decided to exmmon former Pres- Ment Mellen to the witness stand. Nobody knows more sbout the | methods that ruined the New Hoven than Mr. Mellen. Nobody knows better who it wes that planned and echemed behind the screen. UNdeody knows better who framed the orders that he, Mellen, faith- tally carried out.

HILE we are admiring the Panama Canal let’s not forget that there has just been completed a pretty fair job of digging under the watere at our own front door. On Saturday Ool. 8. W. Roessler, who has charge of the Govern- ment work of improving New York harbor, gave notice that the Ambrose Channel has been excavated to ite full projected dimen- sions—2,000 feet wide and forty feet deep at low water. It is seven tiles long, with plenty of brilliantly lighted buoys and range lights to guide pilots through in an almost straight-line course. The old ship channel, though deep enough, has long been tortuous and risky for big ships even under the best of conditions. The completed Am- rose Channel can be used by steamships leaving port at any hour, ittespective of tide or weather. The new channel was begun thirteen years ego and when first opened in 1907 had only half its present width. Forty-two million five hundred thousand cubic yards of material have been excavated and the cost has been over $5,000,000, including the price of four big dredges. “It is the eafest channel in the world,” declared one of the en- gineers in charge last fall. “The steamship with the deepest draught of any that comes into this port will never touch bottom there unless, perhaps, going out in February, when the barometer is climbing and there has been a persistent westerly gale blowing the tide four feet below mean low water. Such conditions are exceptional and pilots end navigators of the big ships will not venture out at low water ander such circumstances.” Anyhow February is past. We can welcome the new sea giants of the present year, at least, with a safe and worthy fairway. ‘The country drank more deer last year than the year before by three million barrels, and New Yorkers got away with more “wade” last month than in any other thirty days eo far in 1914. Ay The dartender is right: “There's always a waiting list.” “NEW YORKERS FOR NEW YORK.” OR years this town has been so busy boasting its cosmopolitanism F that it has nearly forgotten it h few home folks of its own. Judge Wells, of the Municipal Court bench, hit on a god idea when he started “I'he New York Society,of New York Gity” for men who arrived in New York via the cradJe and who are every bit as proud of their home as the thousands who, though reared elsewhere, were wise enough to get here as soon as they could. “There used to be a saying that nobody was ever born in New York,” says the Judge, “On every side we find in our midst members of the Georgia Society, the Ohio Society, the lowa Society, the Maine Society, the Rochester Society and the Albany Society. But nowhere in New York until a fow days ago did we find an association for native New Yorkers. Some of us decided it waa,time that such a society be organized and we have done it. ‘ “We have in mind to promote good fellowship, to preserve | the fair name of New York City at home and abroad, to promote a proper civic pride, to encourage a belief in the greatness of New York's past and in its future, and to make those who were bleased in being born in this elty known to each other,” The new society has given the best proof of broadmindedness in making its motto not “New York for New Yorkers” but “New “Yorkers for New York.” If there is any one quality for which the city is justly celebrated and which it should aim to perpetuate it is tq bearty optimism with which it welcomes all comers and endeavors to make evary man, woman and child feel the pride and honor of Being an out-and-out New Yorker, Letters From the People Mosquito Crop.
