Our Imperilled Navy.
It was otliolitlly nniiounced at the
JCavy iJepartnient In Washington yes
terday that there was "no reasn to
believe that the large number or nres
aboard American war vesels recent
ly were enucd by spies or Incendia
ries," and peclileally of the lire on
the Oklahoma:
"It Is believed that It may have, been
due to ilcfcctlvo Insulation of electric
wiring urouml tho m.-iRazlnes or to tho
carelessness of pome workman In drop
ping lighted matches or clgarcttef."
These outgivings are designed to
reassure the public. Hut what con
solatory choice can be made between
tires deliberately and maliciously set
und tires resulting from Ineillcleucy
und lack of discipline?
There Is no comfort for the service
or for the nation In an explanation
which rests on "faulty iiwilntion of
electric wiring around the maga
zlnes"; it may allay suspicion, but it
cannot Inspire conlUlence, and conll
dence In the navy Is what Is wanted
ot this time.
Nature and Man.
Mr. Newman 1'hh, president of tho
Minneaitolls and !t. Louis Hailrtmd
ha3 been travelling on It through the
States of Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota
South Dakota. He llnds a "iterfecf
rye crop already garnered lu Minne
sota and now being uarotl in South
Dakota; the heaviest oat crop ou
record; wheat "perfect" everywhere
cotton doing well. He sees or fore
frees "the heaviest yield and greatest
craln movement In our history."
So It is generally nil over these
United States. The farmer and th
eoil have done their task well. The
Tains have not overdone theirs. Mighty
crops, the foundation of all prosperi
ties, are assured.
Naturo has worked nobly for the
good of the American people. What
ever there is of sinister or fatuous,
conscious or unconscious opposition
to ft great renaissance of business and
revival of good times nnd fat years
comes from the Government. Wit
ness the l.a I'ollette-Furusoth law to
sweep the American merchant marine
from the seas and tho lakes. Wit
ness the Department of Justice lu
pigheaded pride of opinion resolved
to keep up the prosecution of the
United States Steel Corporation:
"Every prospect plc.uu-a
And only man Is vile."
Fortunately, tho disposition to re
gnrd the harrying of business and
the baiting of business as essential to
political prosperity has waned nota
lily. Let us hope, then, that tho Ln
Kollette-Ftimseth net for tho altoll
tlon of American merchant vessels,
signed ln the last moments uf the
Slxty-thlnl Congress, will lie repealed
In the ilrst moments of the Sixty
fourth. Tito Steel prosecution, we
take It, is largely an automatic con
tinuation of au expiring policy or lllu
sloti, to which the Supreme Court may
be trusted to give the llnal blow.
Tho American people have had
enough and more than enough of hard
times made harder by Federal folly.
The stringencies bom of the war they
have patiently endured. They will not
enduro patiently the damage wrought
by meddlesome, ambitious jtolitlelans
currying favor with special classes lu
the hor! of votes or nominations.
Scandalous John Doe Proceedings.
livery few days lately the announce
ment has been niado lu newspaper
articles concerning the llecker case
that John Doe proceedings were to be
Instituted in Hlukkh'h behalf. Ae
have received many Inquiries as to
the meaning of this statement.
l'reclsoly what course of procedure
lias been contemplated lu this par
tlcular case we do not know; but It
may be useful to iwlnt out what a
John Doe proceeding projwrly Is and
how It has been abused by magis
trates, notwithstanding the severest
condemnation of their illegal prac
tices by the Court of Apieals.
l'roHrly shaking, a John Doe pro
feeding is n criminal prosecution in
stltuted before a committing magis
trate by submitting to him a sworn
complaint charging that a dcllnlto
crime has been committed, by a deslg'
natod person whoso name Is not
known to the complainant, and who
Is therefore denominated John Doe,
It Is essential to the validity of such
a proceeding, however, thnt it should
point to some particular person as the
accused. A committing magistrate
under our law does not possess geiv
eral Inquisitorial powers. He has no
authority to Institute a full Invest!
gntlon us to whether any crime has
been committed by anybody. This a
Grand Jury may do; but a committing
magistrate Is restricted to the in
ijulry whether a specllled crime has
probably been committed by a spec!
tied person. When the complainant
is Ignorant of the name of the person
he would accuse, that person may be
called John Doe until his true name
Is ascertained. Tho magistrate can
not lawfully conduct a roving lnqul
sltion to ascertain what member of
the community is the offender. The
defendant must be designated at tho
outset of the proceeding.
In 1P05 a case arose ln this city
which is a good example of the tort
of John Doe proceeding that the law
does not approve. A Justice of the
Court of Special Sessions Issued a
subpu'na to nineteen witnesses di
recting them to attend before him at
a specified time and place nnd bring
with them all the books, records and
documents in their possession or un
der their control, belonging to a cer
tain tirm of theatrical managers, cov
ering n period of nine years! No
proof had been laid before him tend
ing to show that un offence bad teen
committed or who had committed It.
The Court of Appeals held that the
subpuna was void on Its face:
"It did not state what the crime was,
nor who the accused was. but Indicated
an intention to rove around und find
out. The recital by the magistrate of
a mere supposition, followed by a decla
ration of his purposo to investigate and
see whether the supposition wna correct.
Indicates a voyage of discovery that the
law docs not tolerate."
This language will be found In the
case of the l'eople ex rel Livingston
vs. Wyatt, in Volume ISO of New
York Iteports, on page ii'Xi. The de
cision was rendered nearly nine years
ago; yet it has frequently been dis
regarded by committing magistrates.
with the sanction of representatives
of the District Attorney ln various
counties. Wo repeat that a study of
that case shows that no valid Johu
Doe proceeding can bo Instituted ex
cejit against a designated person for
a definite crime.
The asylum doctor Is more competent
correctly io label pronounced cases
and to treat them,
It may be asserted that It is the
custom of family physlWans to call
In hospital doctors for other diseases.
Why not ln Insanity? Every hospital
physician has seen Incorrectly diag
nosed cases of typhoid fcer. pnou
luonln and other discuses; he bus
usually been a practitioner, a clinic
doctor or an assistant, but tho doctor
who devotes himself to insanity goes
at once into an asylum where he
rarely sees doubtful cases.
Since it has become a custom among
family physicians to call In a neu
rologist In all cases In which nervous
symptoms manifest themselves, these
specialists really see more Incipient
cases of insanity than the asylum
trained doctors, nnd would therefore
becouio more expert ln its early diag
nosis, while they would bo excellel
ln treatment, nfter the diagnosis is
established, by the asylum doctor.
We euibmlt this view to our medical
readers. Physicians owe it to them
selves nnd to tho community to clear
tip this distressing Insanity expert
situation without lelng awed, as thev
now are, by the psychiatric exiert
whoso observation is chiefly among
established cases.
Since, ns Judge Cleahwateb has
jsjlnted out ln The Sun, the trial
Judgv is authorized by law to select
three reputable physicians ns experts.
It becomes the duty of medical socle-
ties to decide ujion the men whom
they regard as reputable and compe
tent, and to give access to a list of
these experts to the authorized court
oflicers. If -the Judge may be inclined
to favoritism, which we greatly doubt.
ly live months later upset that ruling
and gnvu the railroads a chance to
live Is the one which has now acted
with falrinlndedness toward the ex'
pros' companies.
The order reducing express com
pany rales went Into effect early last
year with a proviso that it should
hale a twelve months trial of Its ef
fect on rexenues. It happened also
that during this period of reduced
rates the companies were subjected
practically for the llrst time- to the
new eonii-otitlon of the parcel jwst.
Last March the express companies
petitioned for relief, supporting their
application with an exhibition of
earnings under tho now tariff. It was
calculated at the timo that the
changes they sought permission to
make in their charges would yield an
increase of .'Hi per cent, ln gros
earnings. The commission says that
It "clearly appears" that the express
companies arc operating at a loss un
der the rates prescribed two years
ago. It declares that the companies
are entitled to reasonable relief and
sanctions adjustments of tho tariff
which seem to work out to a "probable
Increase of almut :i;s per cent, ou
gross rexenues. The commission as
sorts that relief should be prompt, and
the new tariffs are to be effective on
September 1.
This Is a sign of sounder Govern
ment policy toward business. In the
times Into which we are to go us a
result of the war, business in tills
country must lie unfettered and really
free of political restrictions.

Germans suffered great loss from

gone back when tho effect passed off

of which thu Germans tumlu so much,
was greatly exaggerated. Tho Ger

trenches, and in very few rases se
cured a hold, out of which they wero
quickly driven when the French re
t erupted thi m and eiylladi-d those

supposed to maku ZuO.OOO a day.
Some curious events ha occurred
here even In I'arls which liavo not
been reported in the (tress. A sluTt
time ago all the brass1 lor knobs und
bra plntea ln a certain quarter of
I'arls disappeared in tho night. As this
practice of stealing door knobs nnd
brass plates has frequntly taken

A Prediction ns to 'ew Thnse of
tho 1'ropaganda.
To TitKFDtTonoKTitKHUN Sir: Your
article tersely but fully answers thu let
ter slRticd "Lawyer" In Tub Sun of
July 13. Germany's notes nnd tho pro-
German press entirely ignoro ono na
poet which cannot be emphasized too
often for the benefit of sympathizers
with Germany who arc at the same time
loyal to this country.
Germany's prior notes olllclally recou
nted that, nccordlng to international
law, she has not the right to sink a
merchant vessel, whether enemy or neu
tral, without visit, senrch anil removal
of passengers and crew to safety. Hhu
relies solely on the rlRht to retaliate
airalnst her enemy on account of the
'starvation blockado effectively main
tained by the Jlrltlsh.
The right to retaliate BRainsl nn
enemy Is recosnlzed ny International
law. Tho point that lias not Jieen
emphasized sufficiently Is this: The
principle of retaliation can be Invoked
nnd extended only to affect nn enemy,
and must be so npplled as not to nueci
neutral nations. The act of letHllatlou.
an act of war, propel ly available
sijtnlnst an enemy, Is no less nn act of
war when Its application affects tho
citizens of n friendly nation, unless re
sponsibility for the unfriendly net be
disaffirmed.
Fo alllrin, as Qermanys last note
does, tho right so to act Is a casus
bolll which no self-reepectlnK nation
should parley over. That Germany's
enemy Ilrltuln warned neutrals at to
tho use of mined nreas In the North
Sea, referred to In tho Hrltlsh order as
zone," without attempting to nsseri
the establishment of a "war zone." as
ernianv'a last note dlsliiKcnutiuily In
timates, does not alter the situation.
Our Government no more recognizes
Britain's rlcht to. Imperil tho lles or
properties of our citizens on tho high
seas by the uto of mines than it recog
nizes Germany's right to do so by tho
use of submarines. Fortunately, in tno
former case, no life has been liwt.
For the loss of property Ilrltaln prom
ise compensation, 1 believe. Hut lyss
of life is Immeakurable, ns our Presi
dent has said In our last note to Ger
many. For that loss Germany makes
no offer or promise to compensate so
far as she could. What Is still worse,
Germany's asserted right to misapply
th" principle of retaliation Is In abro
gation of her treaty relat.ons with us.
Th suspension of diplomatic relations
with Germany would be no mere than
recoirnltlon of an exlstin ; fact,
namely, that while plylni: us with stnll-
Ing If cynical words Germany wouia
persist ln acts of enmity.
The complacency of the public in tno
crisis which has been reached Is duo
solely to the fact that Germany has not.
durlnK tho past two months, repented
the l.usltanla outrage, nn act which
probably woyld have led Immediately
to a suspension of our relations with
hr, as. no doubt, our President quietly
nave her to understand. Germany
falsely asserts a rlcht of retaliation af
fectliiK a friendly nation, thouch she
has not deemed It wl to exercise
such asserted rlcht for oer two
month". The situation Itself suEgcts
course which mlcht avoid a sei franco
of relations, that Is, a rejection of her I
preposterous proposal that our Gov
ernment abrogate by a new treaty ilth
Germany, tho only form of agreement
which would hase the effect of law
binding our citizens, tho acknowledged
rights of our citizens on tho high eeas,
formal notice to Germany that any
future violation of such lights would
be regarded as nn unfriendly act, and
a statement to her that our claims aris
ing out of the slnklnc of the l.usltanla
wilt be held In abeyance until our Gov
ernment elects to renew them.
Tho suggestion of ex-I'resulent Itoose
elt that our Government tuspend com
mtrclal Intercourse with Germany with
out suspending' diplomatic lelatlons
seems weird from a constitutional
standpoint. Commercial Intercourse of
our citizens with all nations Is a right
of which they cannot be deprived under
the Federal Constitution, ln tho ab
sence of a state of war, which auto
matically sutpends all Intercourse nnd
lelatlont with the enemy and Its citi
zens. Kven Congress lacks power to
enact a law forbidding our c.tizens
from engaging In commi rce with the
citizen of Germany or nny other par
ticular country. Tho assertion that tho
I'rcA'dent could make such an edict,
prntum.ihly prescribing (wnaltlcs for
dlfo'edience. Is simply preposterous.
The pro-Gorman propaganda will
shortly reach the stage of clamor for
a special session of Coiwress, having
for Its objective the suspension of the
tin-sent commercial Intercourse bv our
citizens with Hrllaln. France, !lusla
and Italy, befoie any bre.iK witn i,ei
mHiiy takes place, though, no doubt,
our correspondent "Lawyer" would not
be a party to such a scheme.

MR. ROOrS SUPPORTERS.
Would His Stalwart Conduct In 1913
Injure Ills Candidacy?
To thk KtuToit or The Sun Sir; I
read with Interest TllK Sun's poll of
tho country on tho question of tho
Itepubllcau Presidential nominco for
I'm;, unit with n degreo of surprise
which approaches nmazemont thnt the
lion, lillhu Hoot appears to oo nrm
choice. Without on my part con
fessing any antipathy to Mr. lloot, I
desire to Inquire whether Tim Sun's
referendum of this question has been
placed taVoro tho wholo body of the
Ilepubllean party as constituted prior
to tho historic Chicago convention of
1912, nnd whether In reaching a basis
for conclusion duo deference was given
to thu 4,000,000 who stlpliorled Itoosevelt
In that year, and whether tho decision
In favor of Mr. Jtoot bears representa
tive Indonemenl from this great body
of voters.
It Is natural to piesume, in tho face
of events that occuried In 1&12, that
.Mr. Itool would bo far from popular
with n verv largo part of tho Itoosevelt

largo allowance for tho pronounced re

To thk Kditou of Tim SlN Sir: One
of the most tieasunil possessions of tho
old Grapevine at Klevcnth street and
Sixth avenue was an editorial aiticlo
from Thk Sc.n, commemorative, of its
hosp.tality and charm, which, neatly
fratiuil, was iliM'l.iol on Its walls., t.lko
Its old engraving, this had become sere
and yellow with time , nevertheless, It
expressed a spirit ot appreciation that
the passage .if .irs made all the more
gent with the gradual extinction or
hostelrles of this chatacter.
I hae n similar ono deploring years
before the passing of th Golden Kagle,
which, like the old Ginptvlne, was tin

Grapevine was literally a place of "rest

Insanity Expert!.
That the deplorable miscarriage of
Justice In a recent Judicial proceedln;
was partly but conspicuously due to
the contradictory testimony of the
insanity experts was distressingly
evident lu every 6tage of the trial be-
i fore and after the defendant's ac
quittal on the ground of Insanity up
to his liberation on account of sanity.
The latter was doubtless tho result
ehielly of the cou tempt expressed in
no uncertain languagu In tho trial
Justice's charge. The pocket nerve
manifested Its powerful Intliieuoo
throughout the whole proceedings,
culminating In the largo ball bond di
rected by tho Judge after pronounc
ing the defendant sane.
What Is the object of this ball IkiikI?
There is no escape from the conclu
sion that It Is Intended to establish
conduct brings the propaganda lino
contempt nnd ridicule. As to the pro
priety and expedience of allowing
women to vote the minds of most

What other reason can there bo for
thus practically abolishing the habeas

The action of Judge Hkmhiick is
otherwise Inexplicable. If tho ac

by reawin of vinous Intoxication as

this temporary irresponsibility may

with a cradle, ran da especially for the
occasion, cut over twelve acres of Heavy
wheat, which when tied up made 37ii
dozen shtaves. This Is a -world's revord,
so far as 1 am able to learn, and 1
well authenticated. Thero aro et llv

thin, the greatest ft of lt lilinl ever
accomplished by man.
Anothir man cut nine nnd one-half
acres of kooiI oats In lifted! hours and

by witnesses who were pros, til and
measured th land. A young giant of
a farmer was reputed to have avorag d
seven acres a day while cutting his own
,-ron of wheat. For this story I will not
star.il sponsor, however, ns I am able to
do for the others.
I know of two other men who cut
tlfty-ilve acres of wheat in live and on
half days nnd helped gather and shock
the grain after it was cut.
These are fair samples of what the
