An Anniversary of Cowardice).
Not n vote was cast in the House of
llepreeentntlves yesterday against the
Oompers amendment to the Clayton
anti-trust bill, practically legalizing all
restraints of trade which may bo un
dertaken by labor unions or farmers'
associations.
Not n statesman in the House hnd
the gizzard to stand, up and be counted
against the shameless measure of dls
crimination for the sake of politics.
Well, this Is not the first time Con
gress has witnessed Unit unmanly sort
of spectacle.
Just fourteen years ago to-day the
House of Ilepresentntives passed the
Hon. Ciiaki.es K. I.iTri.trir.Lu's bill In
the Fifty-sixth Congress for the Fed
oral regulation of trusts. The subjoined
amendment exempting labor organiza
tions was offered and wept to a vote
upon June 2, 11)00:
"Nothing In this act shall lio so con
strut-d as to apply to trades unions or
other InUor organizations organized for
the purposo of regulating wages, hours ot
labor, or other conditions under which
labor Is to bo performed."
This sweeping exemption was not
even discussed. It was attached to Mr,
l.inu.riKi.ti'H bill by n vote of 200 to 8,
Mr. I.itti.efii.m himself le!ng one of
the eight to vote against it. Then tliii
anti-trust bill, carrying the outrageous
nxenmtlon and discrimination, passed
the House 271 to 1.
Fourteen years ago to-day! Unnnl
uious or nearly unanimous cowardice Is
nothing new under that noble dome.
Then it wns just before the Congress
elections, pnd the House Incurred its
home, in the comfortable knowledgo
that tho Senate would prevent the con
summation of the Infamy.
This, too. Is Just before the Congress
clecHons, but how about tho Senate of
the United States In the year 101-1?
Mr. McAdoo's Holdup.
In the original plans for tho Seventh
avenue subway, now under construe
tlon, provision wits made for fou
tracks from Forty-second street to
Park Place, where two tracks were di
verted to the eastward to cross tiuder
Manhattan and tho East Hlver and
connect nt Uorough Hall, llrooklyn
with the existing subsurfaco system
From the westerly side of Hroadwny In
l'ark Place this two track tunnel was
designed to pass In a straight line under
Uroadway, the Post Office building and
Park How to iteekiunn street. This
was the natural and simple route to be
chosen, nud none of the Public Service
Commissioners, their engineers or the
city officers who studied the plnns was
suspicious enough to think for a mo
ment that the United States Govern
ment would .obstruct in any way the
most available course of this essential
public work.
Yet that unlocked for obstruction
has actually been Interposed to upset
tho plans of the city ot New York,
through tho obscure and Inexplicable
operations of tho Secretary of the Treas
ury. In wIiomi department the custody
of the. Post Office building lies. Sec
retary MoAdoo has refused to cede to
the city the easement necessary to oc
cupancy of tho ground under the Post
Office, except 011 terms ridiculously ex
orbltant, and has produced ft situation
In which It may bu necessary to bring
the tunnels to tho north from Park
Place and Hroadwny to it point under
City Hall Park Immediately above .Mall
street and thence roundabout In lll
lam street through Spruce street In
stead of Heekmiui street, the natural
and direct course.
Whut Secretary McAnoo's object Is In
thus delaying the suhway work Is not
plain. Ho has had an estimate made
which purports to show that the con
structlon of the tunnels on the original
plan would do l.tssi.tssi damage to
the I'ost Office. Tills estimate, on It
face foolishly excessive, Is contradicted
1V t-oni!MMitit imthnrmptt u-hn ilwlnrn
that the Injury to the building would
be nominal. The United States Dis
trict Attorney supports this contradic
tion, mid he has also overthrown tho
suggestion that by granting tho ease
ment the t'nlted States might in some
way impair Its title to the land on
which tho Tost Ollleo stands. With re
gard to this title, it must bo borno in
mind that the days of the Tost Ofllce
are numbered and that within n few
ears It will be razed and tho land on
which it stands restored to its proper
uses In City Hall Park.
We have described Secretnry Mo-
Aihio's attltudo and conduct as obscure
and inexplicable. No statement of his
objections to tho granting of the ease
ment has been forthcoming from ash
Ington that throws a satisfactory light
on the holdup. From official and
non-olllclal statements It has been pos
sible to conclude that Secretary McAuoo
Intends to wring from the city a great
sum of money or else to compel n
most Inconvenient change In Its well
considered and thoroughly approved
plans. The Public Service Commission
has properly decided not to allow the
taxpayers to be gouged, even by tliu
United States (Jovornnient In the ca
pacity of n sharp and unscrupulous
real estate Hteculator. In this decision
It may be sure of public support.
Meanwhile the least that the citizens
of New York are entitled to is a clear
and explicit statement of tho reasons
which Justify the United States (iov
eminent in wilfully and unnecessarily
rendering more difficult this relief from
the Inconveniences, losses and dangers
now Imposed on them by inadequate
transportation facilities.
Wait for thn Verdict.
AH considerations of the lamentable
catastropho on tho St. Lawrence Uivcr
call for the exercise of the greatest pa
tience on tho part of the genernl public.
Tho exact facts In regard to tho cir
cumstances which led to the collision
will not be known till they are brought
out by an official investigation. News
paper ' interviews, however candidly
given or skilfully obtained, will In the
end be found wanting In some vital de
tails. The nature of the case makes
this Inevitable. The actors In the stun
nlng tragedy are not yet fit to stieak
clearly about It. Many Important facts
must at this moment escape their
memories.
Later, when nil have become calm
and the complete story Is elicited by
the questioning of exports, It Is prnb
able that the luclilents will n mince
themselves In n convincing order. At
the present time all statement point
toward the incredible. A low fog
which permitted high lights to lie seen
over It and a ship which apparently
drove straight through It at n danger
ous speed, rigidly holding tier course
simply because she had the "right of
way" and without regard for the fact
that another ship was lying motionless
and plainly announcing It by the tto
ot recognized whltle signals, bring
before the mind n combination of clr-
cuinstniice lnisslhlo to believe.
The captain of the collier which
rammed tho Ihnpress of Ireland should
certainly have a fair opportunity to tell
his side of the story liefore he Is con
demned. and also to answer certain
essential questions. The one declara
tlon that may properly be made at
this time Is that this case cannot In;
trlisl and settled by amateurs. The
handling 8f vessels, particularly In
cases of sudden danger, Is n complete
and Insoluble mystery to the layman
despite his cheerful cutom of thinking
he knows nil about it.
01 Illeu of I.otiMnna nn d Part
Unknown.
The unparalleled sensation created
lately In City Hall l'ark by immigrant
"red birds" may remind amateur or
nlthologlsts that this town is the host
nnd keeper of a really mysterious fowl
Mr. C. V. lthEiiF. tells us In the .Veto
Vorfc Zoalogtcal NocMy Itullctln that
for a year there hits been a solitary
male lllue Goose at tho New York Zoo
logical Turk; that nn azure anser
ine female was imported thero not
long ago, and that another pair Is on
Uie way. The Itltio Goose, deemed by
Aupubon to be the young of the Snow
Goose, "Is almost ns little known" ns
in Auntmo.N's time. He knew it ns
abundant ubout tho Mississippi delta
nnd the bays and Inlets of tho Gulf,
It has appeared again nnd in numbers
in winter In southern Louisiana, re
cently. Its foraging Is ns thorough as
thnt of tin army with banners:
"Not only do the birds feed upon th
green tops and tougher stems of the pas
ture grasses, but even dig up nnd devour
the roots. Each Individual goose scoops
out a hole In the mud, uncovering and d
vourlng tho roots us It works, and us the
geese feed quite close together, these
rounded pits soon touch und coalesce,
when the birds movo on to a new feeding
place. They keep more or less In long
lines as they feed, reminding one of sol
dier nnts or th famous army worms.
Tho continued effect of this Is to change
radically the condition of the land. In
some cases the ground Is so low that tho
slight excavations nil at once with water
and thus pastures are altered to marshy
lands. Whero great numbers of thu birds
have occupied these places ns roosts tho
pressure of their feet has so reduced tlie
general level that actual lakes aro pro
duced, In which henceforth only nquatio
plants can tlnd a roothold. In one locality
men with horses and guns wero hired to
keep on the move nil day and try to drive
away tho geese, but this was not success
ful, and ubout l!,00U acres of pasture lands
had to be abandoned to the birds."
TIioukIi thus gregarious and destruc
tive, the lllue Uooso Is uot on tho road
to rulu, ns might be supposed. Ho Is
usually too shrewd to bo bilked by traps
or put himself within gunshot range;
mid much of his preferred feeding
grounds Is giinie preserves, o that ills
whiter visits aro pretty afo. Tho mar
tel. as yet impenetrated, Is: Whither
does lie lly In spring? Thousands of
these handsome, and highly conspicu
ous birds, two feet long, the head nnd
upper neck white, "the rest ot tlie body
and wings a beautiful bluish gray or

To Tits Editor oy Tub Sun Sir: Psy-
chologlsts, physiologists and medical ex
perts In speaking of the desire for alco
holic liquors invariably refer to It as a
"morbid and artlllclal appetite, acquired
under th Influence of habit." Habit con-
notes, to a greater or less extent, lack ot
freedom of will; something approaching
Involuntary or reflex action.
Now. however dlflleult It mnv ha tn di.

the fact remains that such a point Is
reached In tho career of everv Irink..r.
This admits of no doubt. And while on

The per capita consumption of liquor.
according to United States census figures,
h,.. .hi. n, r.,K.i,.. l,iu
may be appeased short of Intoxication, but
just how many 'brinks' short of Intoxl
cation one may attain satiety depends
again upon the Individual hublt.
The campaign of alcohol against the vl
tallty, strength and manhood of the
drinker Is so gradual, so slow and withal
so fearfully and horribly Insidious that It
Is not noticed until the habit has fastened
Itself upon him. Ills free wUl has become a

Sad Fata of Amos W. Orker, Onee
Prominent lluslnrss Man.
Woosuno, 111., May 81. Steps were
taken to-day by tho friends of Amos
W. Orkor, until recently ono of Woo
sung's most prominent business men, to
have hhn committed to tho State Uni
versity In tho hope that ho may bo
prevented from doing himself violence,
and In order that tho email remnant of
his fortuno now remaining may bo pre
served to his family.
Mr. Orkor's ens is one of tho saddest
imu mis uoinu 10 ijuuiiu uuui.u

Hie Koot l'rnlrlo forty-two years ngo.
In early llfo ho was thrown on his own
resources, nnd otter serving in a coun

Orkor was n, pioneer In recognizing the
possibilities of utilizing oyprouucia.

which he laid tho foundation of his for-
im Tlilu h out nn Hie market Under
tho name of "Orkor's Fruit of tho
Field," under which tltlo it attained a
wldo uouularlty as a breakfast food.
The success of this vonturo leu Mr.
Orker Into other enterprises, and a year
ago ho was Interested In many Industries,
Unfortunately his youthful necessities
had rendered It Imuwsllilo tor Iilm to
obtain nn education, and ho was obliged
to fnco tho world With only tho degreo

li served In tho cutiacltv of stntlonurv

by Mr. Orker that ho wns not out of a
Job but waji merely psychologically de
preiised, had tho bad tosto to say:
"Wotlncll'n that mean?"
To his regrettable lnqulsltlveness Mr.
Orkor's downfall may bo directly traced,
Until this iiuestlon was put to him he
had not sought to fathom the signifi
cance of the President's phrase. Hut
the ill timed dissatisfaction ot n. mere
boor sturted him on tho path that led
to destruction.
Mr. Orker Invited tho mnn to his home,
promising to explain nt length what a
psychological depression was. In his
library a poor affair, it must be con
fesscd ho found un encyclopedic dic
tionary. Inadvertently bought by him
from a young ninn.striiKKlini; for I'll. I),
Into this Mr. Orker plunged, tho vol
umes held open by thu engineer, who
was u muscular follow.
To record tho story of their search
would bo superltuous Any who
hue looked for psychology under "s"
will recognize how dllllcult It wns. Hut
Mr. Orker was persistent, nnd once on
tho trull would not bo turned back.
Ills companion was less philosophical,
however, und when tho columns from
"si, In soltulzutlon, tho syllable used
for thu seventh tono of tho scide, or
the leading tone," to "hzy, containing,
consisting of, or resembling size; glu
tinous; thick and viscous; ropy; having
tho adhesiveness of size," had been ex
amined, Including tho derivations, seven
times, und Mr. Orker suggested that
another survey be made, both of tho
, . . " ....
searchers having forgotten what they
sought, except that It begun with Dea
con I'crklns's front name, tho engineer
fell Into a rage und throw tho diction
ary at his former employer. V
This Impoliteness had nn unlookcd for
sequel. The heavy book, dented and
distorted by the Impact with Mr. Orker's
head, fell on Uio table open In the sec-
tlon "p," and tho engineer, whoso method
of consulting tho dictionary was tn look
nt the pictures llrst, was amazed to
tlnd what they desired, llefore his as
tonished eyes w-as a llfeslzo portrait of
psychomorpha cplmenls, In Its final per
fected form, together with accurate por
traits of "(n) larvn; (b) side view of
one segment, enlarged: (c) hump on
eleventh Joint, enlarged."
Mr. Orker picked up the heavy book
and read slowly to his companion:
