The recovery by the United States Government from the American sHigar Refilling Company of $135,000 is humiliating commentary upon the business methods of that organization, and is likely to be made much of by those critics who Insist that the methods of our big business organizations quite as rotten morally as our municipal politics are. Any general deduction from this specific instauce w'll be, of course, grossly unfair, but that will not prevent such deductions made. What the Jury found is that this particular company used doctored scales to avoid paying to the government the full tariff duty on its Importations of sugar.

The size of tho penalty recovered proves that that method of fraud was continued for a considerable time, and was highly successful. There was also evidence to show that this practice was not authorized from the head of the organization, and that the men at the top were frank In co-operating with the prosecution In its punishment and extirpation. But the company profited and the company will have to pay the bill. The fact of such a Jury finding needs no comment. A Juvenile Commission on New Lines Aggressive work designed to bring children up to a higher grade of citizenship is being done in many, if not most, American cities.

The most far-reaching of these plans comes from Hartford, where an amendment to the city charter is being sought in order to make possible the appointment of a Juvenile Commission on new lines. This' commission Is to be composed of six citizens, appointed by the mayor, and to serve without pay, the only restriction in selection being that none of the members shall hold any other office. The Superintendent of ijchools, the Judge of the Police Court, a member of the Park Board, a member of the Charities Commission and a member of the Health Board are to be designated specifically to act In conjunction with the members of this commission in promoting the welfare of the children of the city. The Idea behind the commission is that there are many things which might be done for children which are not now done because they are not the specific busi ness of any body. The new commission is designed to fill that gap and to secure co-operation among the existing agencies of government where their functions touch upon the lives of the children.

Though the plan will be tried out In Hartford, it has friends in other cities. Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick of this city, who, besides being the physical director of our schools, Is the president of the Flayground Association of America, will bring the plan before the text meeting of that association at Tltts- burg in May. Thus there will be other cities waiting to try the Hartford plan if it works as well as Its promoters expect it to do. Belmont Tunnel Franchise Valid.

"He who laughs last, laughs best." New York City authorities laug'ied loudly when the courts confirmed the contention that the New York and Long Island Railroad Company, which had under construction the Steinway, or, as It has recently been called, the Belmont, tunnel from the foot of Forty-second street to Long Island City, had, ill its failure to complete the work, forfeited its charter rights and possessions. The interests which were back of the railroad corporation and which are now, In fact, the trustees of the defunct company, are laughing because the Appellate Divi sion of the First Department has declared that the franchises which the old company held from New York and from Long Island City have not been forfeited, and that with the rest of the property of the defunct raft- road company, they have gne Intact into the hands of the trustees. Therefore, the interests are laughing and, as they have the last laugh, since the rVppeKate decision is final, their laugh Is the best laugh. The supposition was that when the title and the life of the New York nd Long Island Railroad were forfeited by reason of its failure to complete the construction of the tunnel within the given time, the franchise rights for the operation of the tunnel it held from the City of New York and from Long 'Island City were also forl'oit and that those franchise rights passed back iuto the hands of the city. The tunnel itself, the visible property pos sessed by the railroad corporation, remained and became vested Iu the trustees appointed to administer the affairs of the defunct.

The Ap pellate Division now holds that the franchises the company had secured from the two cities were property llso, and were not forfeited. They are, therefore, legally In the hands and possession Of the trustees, to do with as they see fit, within the law. But that law will penult them to sell or operate or lease the tunnels and the rights of operation. So, the city authorities which sought to seize up on the franchise rights of operation and dictate terms for a new gruut-ng have been defeated. It is impossible to escape the sus picion that the trustees had not the most unbounded faith iu their own contention.

Pending the final settle ment of the litigation, they had offered to sell the tunnel with all Its rights to the city for its own estimated cost of construction; that Is, 0(10. And when the city declined on the ground that the sum was too great they reduced the offer to They likewise sought terms for leasing the right of operation from the Public Service Commission. These proffers were rejected, and It now ap pears that no necessity exislted for them. The trustees had In possession what they asked for. i iti.

Nor Is it less Impossible to Psonpp tiie conviction that the detprminnt'on where interests are to be most conserved by the tunuel. Under the operation of that company the terminus of the tunnel will lie made in Manhat tan, ruder operation by the Inter borough Company for instauce. or any other Manhattan company, the ter minus would be established at the Queens Borough end of the tuunel. with the necessity of trausfers to and from the Queens County road at that point. If it were to be operated by a company designed for that purpose, then there would be a terminus at either end with a single fare as a charge.

It Is now possible for Ihe trustees to make such arrangements as will best conserve the interests of those most concerned. An Expert Defense of the Lock Canal The current issue of the Engineering News contains a long and illuminating defense of the lock system under which the Panama Canal Is now being constructed. It is Important at this juncture when critics, many of whom are not engineers, are busy assailing the canal policy of the late administration, to the continuance of which Mr. Taft is pledged. The opponents of the lock system make three chief objections to the government plans.

First, they allege that the passage of the locks will be dangerous to Bhips of large tonnage second, that the locks are liable to irreparable damage by earthquake; and, third, that, In time of war, an enemy might easily put the whole canal out of business by dynamiting the locks from airships, or other In regard to the first of these contentions, the Engineering News retulns faith in the efficiency of the canal machinery which will control the passage of all ships through the locks, and, also, points out that the expe rience of the Manchester Ship Canal and the Sault Ste. Marie, the two largest lock canals in the world, iias not revealed a single instance of serious delay caused by mishaps to ships during the navigation of the locks. The results achieved in the operation of these canals Is about tis definite an assurance ag can be obtained of the safety of the lock system at Panama, under the pressure of ordinary commercial necessities. As to the earthquake argument, it may be said that the liability of the Canal Zone to seismic convulsions has been greatly overstated. Old buildings of notoriously faulty construction have been standing in the zone for centuries, unaffected by any of the earth shocks.

That fact at least shows that the severity of tho tremors to which the zone Is occasionally liable have been exaggerated by the alarmist advocates of the sea level proposition. It is likewise worth remembering that If the canal were built at sea level, there would still be dams and spillways as susceptible to injury from earthquake as will be any of the locks to be built under the prevailing plans. The theory that the locks can bo destroyed by an enemy through the use of high explosives Is, of course, applicable to all government works which an enemy might he able to reach. Those who lay much stress upon it forget, however, that, with war Imminent, it would be possible so to guard the locks that attack upon them could be readily met and easily thwarted. Even airship adventurers would find it difficult not only to carry enough explosive to do material damage, but also to escape the fire that lock garrisons could deliver from machine guns and magazine rifles.

Tiie Sixty-first Congress will do well to direct no material alteration In the canal plans. They have been approve by very able -engineers, and adherence to them will insure the completion of the canal in a shorter time, aud at less expense, than would be required were the entire scheme of construction revolutionized at this late date. A cut In the wages of steel workmen follows a cut in the price of steel. But the fact that the cut is limited so far to the employes of an Independent concern is another proof that a trust is tho most trustworthy of employers In a commercial war. 1881-1909.

Quick swings the ready snicker-snee. While cheerful heelers grin; Collector Fowler's out, I see; Collector Loeb Is In. Yet not a politician sweats, Or swears, or tears his hair; The Custom House of old regrets Has lost its rank and care. No senators will now resign Because a change Is made; The atmosphere was less benign When spoilsmen's prestige stayed.

Collection of the Late President of the First National Bank Goes to Philip P. Fitzsimmons. The entire collection of valuable oil paintings from the estate of the late John G.

Jenkins has passed Into the hands of Philip P. Fitzslmmons of 272 Broadway, Brooklyn. They formerly occupied prominent places on the walls of the old First National Bank building, at Broadway and Kent avenue, while Mr. Jenkins was Its president. HiB one hobby was paintings, though he loved art In many forms, and he was a liberal and frequent purchaser, the result being that the walla of the old bank building were covered with his collection, wnicn passed out of his possession after tho financial crash last fall.

The paintings fell Into excellent hands when Mr. Fitislmmons secured tnem. He Is a dealer for the love he cherishes for art In every form, and he Is, more over, a connoisseur of no mean ability, with the result that his establishment contains many canvases, large and small, making a collection which Is unquestionably the largest and moat valuable in the Eastern District, and compares with any private collection In Brooklyn. One of the prominent works Is a large canvas by Baldomero Galofre, entitled The Harbor of Barcelona," the wharves Bwarming with shipping and a large, Spanish steamer anchored In the foreground. There are smaller craft and the white walls of the city show against a torrid sky.

A remarkable suggestion of life end movement invests the picture, while the coloring and execution are brilliant. In the collection are an autum land scape, by Merrltt Post; a Bummer landscape, by A. F. Bunner; "The Rock," a landscape by George H. Smillie; a pasture scene, by W.

Koniman; a marine view, entitled "A Rough Sea," by P. J. Gue; "A Monk at Market," by A. Schage- lln; "A Peasant by L. Busch; "The Outing." by C.

Plttara; landscape, by and a summer landscape, by Willingford. Other important paintings are a pas toral Bcene, showing a flock of sheep in the foreground, by Clark Crum; a ma rine scene, by Jasper F. Cropsey, and a landscape by the same artist. Another Bock of sheep is by Charles F. Phelan, and there are also "The Pond." by Clark Crum; "Penitence," by L.

Busch; "The Dream," by William Morgan; "The Thor oughbred." by Henry Stall, and "The Castle," by Cropsey. NATIONAL RESERVE BANKS. Outcome of Reorganization of Orien-tn! ---k To Occupy the S----e Quarters. The National Reserve Bank of the City of New York will formally open Its doors for the transaction of business to-morrow morning. It will occupy the former quarters of the Oriental Bank, at 182 Broadway, corner of John street, Manhattan.

The National Reserve Bank has been formed by the merger of the reorganized Oriental Bank with the Consolidated National Bank of New York. The capital has been increased from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. The officers of the new bank are Will-tarn O. Allison, president; R. W.

Jones, and Thomas J. Lewis, vice presidents, and George W. Adams, caehler. Mr. Jones was the former president of the Oriental Bank.

Other former directors of the Oriental Bank who are members of the board of the National Reserve Bank are Ludwlg Nlssen, Nelson G. Ayrcs, Charles K. Beekman, Samuel Bet-tie, Eugene Britton, Ersklne Hewitt and George E. Keeney. The other members of the new board are E.

R. Chapman. Robert E. Dowllng, George L. Gillon.

E. V. Fisher, George V. Hagerty, E. Burton Hart.

Thomas N. Jones, H. Louderbough, James G. Newcomb. J.

H. Parker, A. M. Probst, Harry J. Bchnell and Mortimer H.

Wagar. In speaking of the opening of the new bank, one of the directors said, "This 1b the practical re-etablishment of the Orl. ental Bank. It is the outcome of a reorganization which in the liquidation will give to the stockholders from $150 to $200 per share, which is not much less than the stock was selling for before the panic. This would show that It was almost a criminal financial act to let the Oriental Bank go by default on account the misfortunes it got into." After their world cruise the battleships are corning into irt to be dry-docked.

One proof of the pudding is In the cost of repairs. The New Jersey footpad who held up a plumber and got only $3.20 for his pains doubtless now firmly believes that there Is no liar like the professional Joke maker.

Four Years of Prosperity Ahead. There was not much curiosity as to what. In his inaugural address, the President would say about many of the subjects to which he devoted his attention. As he did not quarrel with the platform upon which he was elect ed, he was sure to say nothing con tradlcting it.

And as he has been iu public life many years, he has ex plotted his views upon almost every phase of the national case. So, it was not difficult to anticipate. With ref erence, however, to the tariff and to the trusts nothing of the sort could be said, which is to say, there was more than curiosity concerning these subjects. There, were misgivings: One of these sources of auxlety will be on the Congressional calendar in the course of a few days. Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Com mlttce has assured the President that the new schedules will be ready as soon as the special session has been called to order, which is an assurance that actual business will begin at once.

So far, so good. There is, how ever, a possibility of something bet ter. If the National Legislature would fix a date upon which discussion should come to an end, if it would arbitrarily limit It to two months, the business world would breathe a sigh of great relief. As this subject is, so to speak, in process of taking care of itself, the utterances of the President concerning the trusts become of more or less ab sorbing interest. Misgivings were J.at ural.

Roosevelt and Taft were or appeared to be In complete accord. So far as- Is neither has ever taken exception to what the other has done or said. matter how head long and extreme the President, the Secretary was just as assertive, if not quite so belligerent, in tone. It was in the nature of things, therefore, that the business world should be solicitous that It should want to know what to expect for. at least four years.

At the beginning of the address it cold chill was administered. Declaring that he had held up the hands of his distinguished predecessor in the reforms he had Initiated, the President protested that he would be untrue to himself, to his promises and to his party platform did he not make these reforms a most important feat ure of his administration. Even Roosevelt himself could scarcely have made a more ominous, not to say menacing, beginning had he been writing an Inaugural on his own account. Then came allusions to the lawlessness of great corporations, to abuses of power by the combinations, and to the vi cious practices which have given rise to alarm." There was more to the same effect. Apparently, the worst anticipations were to be realized.

Interpret such utterances as these at what may be called their face value and the trans! tion from Roosevelt to Taft would Le little short of a change from the fry ingpan to the fire. Fortunately, that was not all. The other side had its innings. And included in this side are Industrial operations pursued along lines not pernicious, but legitimate and progressive. This though the scale of operation may bo gigantic.

Said the President: "It is believed that with the chaDges to be recommended American business men can be assured of that measure of stability and cer tainty which is essential to the life and growth of nil business." It was almost worth waiting seven years lor that assurance. Xor is this all. The address conceded the right of the people to avail tliemselves of "those methods of combining capital and effort deemed necessary to reach the highest degree of economic efficiency." There is no risk iu saying that these are precisely tbe terms iu which the proposition would be formulated by Harriman or Gary or Baer, or any one of fifty other notables who know under what conditions successful business must be transacted. The highest efficiency can be induced only through combination, and the greater the combination, according to experience, the greater ihe efficiency. Thus is latitude for choice furnished.

Of course, the business world will not hesitate. It will dismiss from its mind the beginning of the address awl recall the remainder to its entire satisfaction. It will accept the allusion to stability, to the necessity for concert of action, and to the highest efficiency as intimating that the ad ministration is disposed to be as mod ern as the world of trade, rather than as antiquated as some of the monster hunters, who have the fatuity to try to slop the irresistible. And, wneii the schedules have been duly revised, when the extra session Is.a matter of history, that which is now held ill ubeyance will be In other words, the curtain will rise on four years of prosperity.

Jacobs was elected to th? Assembly, something over two years ago, Mr. Bailey, who lives In his assembly district, the Second, was appointed In his place. It was Informally agreed at that time. It was said yesterday, that Mr. Bailey's tenure of office was to last until Mr.

Jacobs' term as assemblyman ended. District Attorney Clarke said that he had found Mr. Bailey very useful and efficient, and that he had absolutely no charges against him. The place is an exempt position, and car ries with It a salary of $1,200 a year. THE LINCOLN CENTENARY.

Addresses Delivered on February 12, in New York City and Elsewhere, Now in Book Form. The lovers of Lincoln and who are not to-day? will be pleased to know that the Brooklyn Eagle has published a Lincoln Centenary number of the Eagle Library, No. 145, telling the story of the celebration on February 12 in New York City and elsewhere, but more especially as the day was observed in Brooklyn. In this number are reproduced addresses and parts of addresses delivered on the occasion by men eminent In letters and In the law, in the pulpit and in public life. As the years roll on, and the Civil War and its actors recede In the dim past, what was said by men who knew Lincoln and participated In the stirring events of bis day, or by men who Imbibed sturdy and enthusiastic patriotism from those who took part In that tremendous struggle for the Union and the liberty of a race, will become more and more valuable.

These sayings here and elsewhere have been collated and put Into a form which can. be handed down from generation to generation, to be used by schoolboy and historian. In this book are the 30Dga sung in tne chools: Captain, My Captain." Whitman, and "Uncrowned the picture of the Emancipator which was published by the Eagle on the day of the anniversary, sonnets and poems. Every family, in Brooklyn at least, should have a copy. BINGHAM PREPARES FOR TRIP.

Police Commissioner Starts for Washington To-morrow and Will See Taft. Police Commissioner Bingham finished up his work at Police Headquarters yesterday afternoon, preparatory to his trip to Washington. He will leave tomorrow morning and Intends to remain until the last of the week. The com mlBSloner said that he would call at the White House to pay his respects to President Taft. Ho also expects to visit Major Sylvester, who is in charge of the Police Department in Washington.

The commissioner said that during his visit in Washington he would call on his old friends. "I'm going away for a rest." he Bald. I can't get It here In New York." The commissioner sent a aort of diagram to Henry Bruere of the Bureau of Municipal Research, yesterday. The latter organization Is looking into the Bureau of Supplies of the Police Department and the diagram shows the amount of red tape which a captain has to go through to get supplies. Tho diagram was headed: "Requisition and Sequential Procedure," and, although made upder the direction of Captain John Lyden of the Bureau of Supplies, on it was printed: "Done by mere cop." The commissioner has received a drawing of the tablets on which the names of the heroes of the Police Department arc to be Inscribed In the new police headquarters building.

The names are to bo raised on the tablet In bronze. HELD FOR AIDING ESCAPE. Ex-Assemblyman and Friend Must Answer for Aiding Woman Prisoner. Ex-Asemblyman Richard J. Butler, wh0 lives at 361 West Twenty-second street, Manhattan, and his friend, James Ma-lone, a saloonkeeper, who were arrested on the charge of aiding in the escape of a woman from tho Jefferson Market Court prison where she was locked up, were held In $2,000 bail for the Grand Jury, by Magistrate Krotel, in the Jefferson Market Court, yesterday.

"Big Bill" Devery. whose protege Butler was when the former police chief was a power in the Ninth Assembly District, gave bond for both men. TO REBUILD TIFFANY HOME. Plans have been filed with Building Superintendent Murphy In Manhattan by James Lee, architects, for enlarging and remodeling the residence of Louis C. Tiffany, at 89S Madison avenue, making it over from a five story to an eight story edifice and retaining its present peculiar architectural facade.

The Interior will be rebuilt of fireproof construction, practiaally in its entirety. The projected improvements are to cost NEW CARS AUTHORIZED.

Iiatlia, Uarane, Central Heating. THE DAMROSCH CONCERT. A Well-Varied Programme Geoigf Barrere Wing Long Applause in Flute Playing. For the fourth Saturday matinee concert by the New York Symphony orchestra, yesterday. In the opera hou6e op Academy of Music Mr.

Damrosch again gave evidence of hlB skill In putting together an interesting programme. The composers were represented by Tschai-kowsky, Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, a choice that was bound to excite pleasure somewhere in an assembly of the most varied music lovers. The main features were the music of Tschaikoweky and the playing by George Barrere on the flute of two numbers by Chopin, beside an encore, and also a number at the end of a Bach suite for flute and string orchestra. Tschaikowsky and Bch, followed by Chopin could there be anything njore widely differing on a programme? The restless, modern style of the talented Russian, striving ever upward and sometimes falling Into despair, only to rise again, is a most powerful contrast to the classical Bach, with his calculated progressions, and the poetlo Chopin, with his tender and wonderful modulations and harmonies. Mr.

Barrere created almost a furore over his playing. It requires not only many years of practise to reach such facility as he showed and, as to quality of tone, It must be granted that it was only a natural gift that enabled him to produce so sweet, so round and so limpid a tone. HIb is not the playing that runs on and on In a kind of sameness of delivery; the artist varied hie tones amazingly; he played with robustness and then followed a delicate shading Into piano effect, only to be followed by fullness and commanding delivery. And constantly the Intonation was clear, even 111 the oassuges that were of almost Incredible swiftness. After the Bach performance.

Mr. Barrere played, Mr. Damrosch at the piano, a familiar nocturne by Chopin, and also that waltz by the-same composer, who is popularly supposed to have had the opening suggested to him by a cat running after its tall. The audlenco was Insistent on an encore and one was 'granted. The first number was Tschalkowsky's symphony.

No. 4, and it was played with energy, perhaps wllh a little too much energy in the first two movements, but none too much in the scherzo and in the final allegro, which was rounded out with beautiful rush. Indeed, seemed Ihe old French dance, a bouree. by Bach, following the Tschaikowsky number. It was like the heaven that the Russian aspired to but never seemed to be able to reach.

The second number In the Bach suite, a Polonaise, was popular for Its pizzicato effects, beginning and ending the movement, and for its answering themes for brasses and reeds, lightly played. was triumphant In his reading of the third movement, a badenerie, that was the very height of playfulness and rolllcksome humor. The Beethoven number was the Leonore overture, in which there are many resemblances to the Leonore No. 3. it was played with full effect; but not at all times with the suaveness that Beethoven 1 demands: the dramatic nntntinn wo- served to the full.

Tschalkowskv's famed Festival Overture (1812) brought out splendidly the resources of tho orchestra. The struggle of battle, the sounding of the Marseillaise, full at first and then dying away in retreat, and then the pean of victory, with bells pealing In triumph, made the number memorable as one of the greatest if not the greatest battle piece ever written In absolute music for the orchestra. It well commemorates tho retreat of the Emperor of the French and his hosts, after the invaders had failed to take the city of Moscow. GLEDHILL SEEKS LEADERSHIP. Appeals to Friends of Commissioner Schioeder for Support Objections to Him.

Senator Reuben L. Gledbill is already making a very active canvass for the Republican leadership of the Sixth Assembly District, made vacant by the conviction of Quarantine Commissioner Frederick H. Schroeder. Although Schroeder's case has not been finally disposed of, it is admitted by the unfortunate man's most intimate friends in the district that he cannot continue to be executive member and leader. Gledhlll is appealing to those men who stood by Schroeder until his ship Bank, and who adopted resolutions of confidence in the commissioner.

One of tba best Informed Republicans of the district said yesterday that the men personally interested in the affairs of the Sixth feel they cannot support Gledhlll, for numerous reasons. One Is that hi! was so very close to Schroedor that there is a fear he might follow the bidding of tho present 'leader after his political exit. Gledhlll was Scroeder's candidate for the Senate, and the latter practically forced him on the convention. Another reason Is that Gledhlll is too new in tho political game, although he is earnest and sincere. And it Is the opinion of most Republicans that Glcd-hill Btarted his own persona campaign too Boon after the events which created the vacancy which he seeks to fill.

John Diemer, who is hailed by the lower end of th? district as the next leader, and William Allen, who is in the upper end of the district, and one of tne silk-stocking Republicans, have not yet shown signs of l'fe, although they are considered the only two in the running.
