Under distinguished social patronage, with a strong local committee of young men of society, an auxiliary committee of fashionable THE Sunday Eagle is keeping pace with all that is going on. Its edition for March 19 promises to be more than usually interesting. Events that have attracted but little attention hitherto are exerting a powerful influence on the life of the city and of the nation. One of the most tremendous combinations of capital in all history is described in an article on J. Pierpont Morgan and His Latest Move Mr.

Morgan is conceded by Wall Street to be the greatest financier of the age. By his alliance -with the Rothschild interests of Europe he is practically the czar of the money world to-day. His word is law. He can make men and he can break them at his will. He has recently perfected plans by which more and more of the principal banks and banking groups are coming under his personal dominion.

What It Costs to Patch Up New York's Injured. What would you say if you knew that it cost over a million and a quarter dollars to furnish supplies to the New York hospitals, merely for the work of fixing up broken limbs, healing bruises, taking stitches in torn flesh and providing in other ways for the comfort of those whom accident has brought into the hospitals? Of this enormous sum liniment alone costs more than the average New York business man can earn in a year.

convicts, after serving sentence, By RUSSELL BENEDICT. Tiers has been presented at Albany erer since the first of tbis year a spectacle which has been regarded with widely different feelings, according to the viewpoint of the spectator. Democrats and Democratic organs of Intense partisan spirit have maintainel the right of -caucus of the majority of their elected representatives to select a candidate for the office of United States Senator and have insisted that the decision of such a caucus is binding not alone upon every one taking part In It, but also upon every other member of that party sitting in the Legislature. Up the other hand, those Democratic representatives in the State Legislature who refused at first to enter the caucus and subsequently to be bound by Us rule have taken combined action against the candidate of the majority of their party, urging against his selection objections both personal to the candidate and also to the methods by which be became the choice of the caucus of the majority of his party. Meanwhile, the Republican members have held their caucus and selected their candidate without opposition perhaps because they felt no responsibility for the support of one whose election appeared under existing conditions to be Impossible and have since then voted for such candidate with a certain com-placeocy at their supposedly unassailable position, mingled with a certain degree of satisfaction that their friends in the majority were hopelessly divided and were dissipating by little and little the results of their recent victory at the polls.

The result of all this has been that for more than two months the struggle has grown more and more bitter, and the Legislature Is apparently as far from a choice as it was on the day when the balloting began; but of vastly greater significance than any other considera tion Is tbe fact that the law has been end is being subverted by party politics, au.J a majority of each party in the Legislature has substituted obedience to party mandate for their constitutional duty as representatives of the people. Illegal for a Legislature to Assume Caucus Obligations. The purpose of this paper Is to show that a caucus not only has no binding force upon the representatives in the Legislature in the selection of United States senators, but that it Is entirely Illegal for a legislator to assume any obligations toward such a caucus. Before entering upon his offlcp, the Constitution requires that every legislator take an oath In this form: "I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Stale of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of according to the best of my ability," and also the test oath against corrupt practices, in obtaining his election. Tbe oath thus quoted requires a faithful discharge of his duty by every legislator.

There Is no qualification In it, nor condition annexed to It, that requires obedience to party rule. The legislator, upon taking this oath, cannot, In the event of failure to discharge his duty, exonerate himself by any mental reservation made when taking the oath that he will faithfully discharge the duties of Se--'- nr. Assemb' -n. according to the best of his ability, anil also as directed by the leader of his political party or even by the majority of the members of that party In the Legislature. His sole duty is to repre sent to the extent of his ability Ine people of the state, and this duty may even require him at times to vote against his own party.

His agreement to obey the will of the caucus Is a violation of his oath of office. This may sound like strange doctrine to many who have assumed that the highest political duty is fealty to party: and It Is unfortunately true that we have had In our history many notable examples of the placing of loyalty to party above duty to the people. There are signs, however, everywhere apparent that political means and methods which formerly went unquestioned are becoming repugnant to the thinking voter of to-day, and we find that the courts, too, are recognizing this sentiment by saying: "The trend of public opinion, as well of legislation, at the present, time, appears to bo In favor of a radical re- WEATHER FORECAST.

DOWN AND FIGHT IS Officer Rooney, With Platoon of Patrolmen, Leaves Without Stopping Boxing Bout. HIS WARRANTS WERE NO GOOD Alfred J. Gilchrist Melodramatically Interposes and Saves the "Fans" From Disappointment. The spectacle of Police Captain Owen Rooney abdicating after making a rather determined effort to Interfere with the boxing exhibitions given last night by the Bedford Athletle Club, drew forth thunderous applause from several hundred fight fans who were gathered in the clubhouse In Congress Hall, Atlantic avenue and Vermont street. While the crowds of members filed Into the place.

Captain Rooney arrived on the scene. He had with him a platoon of policemen and the patrol wagon, and announced that be was ready to cart the whole show oft to the Miller avenue police station. The gatekeepers refused blm and hla men admittance, but tbe captain flashed a warrant In their faces and pushed his way into the hall. Inspector Harklns, who also appeared, declared that the captain's warrants would be served on anybody who dared to enter the ring, and arresls would be made forthwith. Former Senator Alfred J.

Gilchrist, attorney for the Bedford Athletle Club, which lias been Incorporated for fifteen years, was indignant when he arrived at the clubhouse and learned that the cap tain and his men had been allowed to enter. "Don't you know that those warrants and tbe complaint on which they are based were dismissed by Magistrate voorhees?" thundred the lawyer. Captain Rooney was finally Induced to admit that be had been notified of tbe magistrate's action. Inspector 'Harklns decided then to communicate with Mag istrate Voorhees. When he and Captain Rooney left the telephone booth all the policemen were withdrawn from the hall and the patrol wagon was taken back to the station bouse.

Says Captain Knew That Cases Had Been Dismissed. Magistrate Voorhees, who is presiding over the New Jersey avenue police court this month, was asked to-day what action he had taken after the parties left court yesterday afternoon. "I had the captain notified." he said that after thinking the matter, over very carefully It appeared to me that the complaint on which those warrants were served, and on which others were based, was not backed by sufficient evi dence. 1 he captain knew In the after noon that the rases before me yester da- afternoon had been dismissed. He called me up on the telephone early in the evening and Inspector Harklns called me up later.

Magistrate Voorhees explained that he would consult with Inspector Harkina In the near future with a view to having proper complaints and evidence submitted as to future fights that might be ar ranged for at the athletic clubs. The magistrates. It was declared, will prob ably confer with a view to some uniform policy of adjudicating police complaints against, ngnts and tight clubs. Hike Mulroy, alleged to be manager ot the Bedford Athletic Club, and Gus Hoppe, who is known to local fight fans for hla, interest in the boxing game, were before Magistrate Voorhees yesterday afternoon on Captain Rooney's complaint that theye were "about to commit an act which would constitute a violation ot the law." The captain's affidavit was based, so it la declared, on information furnished by Barney Sunshine, a boxer, whose name appeared on the advertising cards sent out as one who would partici pate in one of the sparring exhibitions. The magistrate told the captain that he had been given to understand the arrests would be made In the evening.

Instead the captain arraigned the men In the afternoon. Senator Gilchrist vigorously contested the case. After the argument decision was reserved and the defendants were declared paroled until Wednesday. After considering the matter further Magistrate Voorhees decided to render his decision at once and formed the captain, as he said, that he had dismissed the case because of insufficient evidence.

One of the very good choruses shower! bevy of dancing "girls" in modern evening gowns of satin.

Later these samo "girls" were little loveresses" of tu forties in wide skirts of flowered lawn. The boys of the chorus must, have been busy every moment behind the scenes In quick changes. Finnegan had at least half a dozen different costumes. One of his clever roles was a stfeet car conductor, another as a woman in black. It was when lio was In this garb that one of the crude numbers ot the "piece." a trio called "The Suffragette Maid," was introduced.

The condition or wentwortn in critical and but for the timely appear- Dce of a negro attendant of the instl-tuMon, the lunatics probably would have killed him.

Two were captured later, lut to; ot'asrs are still at lar, girls and several dozen very youthful and pretty "programme malda," a production was given that, dramatically, has not been surpassed in the borough this year. A very representative and smartly gowned audience enthused over every number. For the musical comedy they saw was crisp, striking and interesting every moment, from curtain to curiain. It had ever so many "catchy" songs and a con stantly changing medley of attractive costumes. A circumstance that added much to the Brooklyn moment of the night was the fact that the chief comedian and the real star ot the play was a Brooklyn man, and the chief solo dancer used to live in Brooklyn.

Joseph Blaber and Morris Kinney were these two men of Brooklyn renown, and they won laurels unlimited Blaber by a continued stream of tun and comical makeup, Kinney by a really wonderful Oriental dance, dona with a smoking brail er. Along with the fun, what pleased the audience of this Academy premiere more than anything else was the lifelike ap pearance and acting of the "girl chorus." It was Impossible, much of the time, to realize that these were men. They had been drilled to walk like girls, dance like girls, wear their clothes like girls. Many even made eyes at the audience in true and effective "pony" style'. The brilliant stage, throughout the evening, was not more interesting, however, than the spectators.

It might have been the first night of the opera season or a great charity pageant. Society filled orcheelra, boxes and first balcony. and between the two acts the foyer was crowded wilh pretty gowns. Edward J. Bullwinkel was the chair man of the "Brooklyn Performance Committee" that originated the idea nf thi3 Btooklyn premiere and carried It through so successfully.

Mr. Bullwinkel was a famous Columbia "show girl" for several seasons. His aids of the evening were 11. Stuyvesant Plerrepont. Morton O.

The programme introduced them truthfully, introducing the list in this matter "Unwary victims of our ticket sellers may also fall into the hitches of the following." The pro gramme girls fulfilled every expectation, for they sold their wares vigorously, and all were pretty beyond imagining. The official list of them was: Miss Faith Baldwin. Miss Marguerite Bacon, Miss Eunice Beecher. Miss Rita Belden, Miss Florence Bierwirth. Miss Agnes Blgelow, Miss Alma Bogue, Miss Alice Bullwinkel, Miss Sybil Burger, Miss Janet Burns, Miss Margaret Carr, Miss Grace Casilear.

Tbe "piece" was called "Made In India," and Emil Brletcnfcld was tbe author of both its book and music, half a dozen olhpr young composers having Interpolated numbers.

Mr. Breitenfeld has "done" several other musical 'shows" for Columbia, but never one that went better than this. Its plot is no matter; the plot of a musical comedy never is. But It dealt, with the exploits of New York trolley car conductors who had come to India, one a real rajah who can gain In the trolley car business enough to provide funds for his throne by a Judicious process of'knorking down," another who had already made his pile on the Forty-second street cars and was Installed as a rajah pro tern. Then their was a moving picture man who wanted to "fake" a revolution to get some good films.

Finnegan, the comedian (Mr. Blaber's part), and last, but by no means least, tbe Rahjine of Rahjapur. a stout, and massive lady splendidly played by William D. S. Spalthoff.

Every second of this was gay. What pleased people most was the way ot good thing succeeded another. There were plenty of "tricks" on the part of these Columbia boys. One of the most effective was a military chorus ot "girls" with the soloist Mazle. the actress (Will iam V.

Saxc), here In a short skirt of white chiffon trimmed In silver. The song was I want a soiaior, ana me at tending "girl chorus" were In red coats, white vests and blue skirts. Another tremendous hit was when Mrs. Ormsby, the female diplomat (Henry Herbert Jessup), came out In a trouser skirt of black and white check. When they saw this the audience literally howled with glee.

The.star dancer, Morris Kinney, wore a very wonderful costume mado up of green undertrousers and a white dress banded with a pale blue Oriental scarf, spangled. The rahjine was the most gorgeous cVer. "She" wore green satin trousers under a black figured skirt that had a panel effect of red satin embroidered with gold on it. As the rahjine seemed to weigh fully 300 pounds, this costume wss much enhanced by a bolero Jacket of red satin. Ifee rajah himself (a very small man) not have attained the age of 30 years and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he Bhall be chosen.

Method of Election of Senators, as Provided by Congress. The Congress, under the power ex pressly reserved to it, has prescribed the method by which the Senators from the different states are to be elected. (II. S. Rev.

Stat. Sees. 14-19.) Briefly stated, the Legislature is required to take proceedings for the election of a United States Senator beginning upon the second Tuesday afUr the meeting and organization of the Legislature which next precedes the expiration of a senatorial term, and at least one ballot shall be taken daily In joint assembly by viva voce vote of each member present until some person receives a majority of all the votes of the Joint assembly, "a majority of all the members lected to both houses being present and voting. If no person receives such majority on the first day, the join assembly shall meet at 12 o'clock meridian of each succeeding day during the session of the Legislature and shall take at least one vote, until a Senator is elected." In this, connection the mandatory nature of the duty to be present and vote daily should not be overlooked. No provision is mad6 by the act for Bhirking this duty on any day during the session.

It must be performed on every day alike. "Pairing off" votea Is not recognized by the statute as a compliance with the law; on the contrary, the whole intendment of the statute is that the Legislature Bhall daily devote itself to the important duty of electing a senator, so that the strength of each state In the Senate may remain unimpaired. The object sought is to be kept constantly In view. The method is somewhat similar to that employed to compel a jury to agree on a verdict. Legislature's Duty to Elect a Senator Is Paramount.

It thus being evident that the duty to elect a Senator to fill the existlug vacancy paramount lo all other legislative duties and functions we have seen tills duty disregarded for fifty days by our Legislature, and the state left with halt its representation In the Senate of the United States, because the members of the majority have, as Is universally understood and believed, abdicated their own duty of selection to vote for the candidate of a caucus which was controlled by one person holding no constitutional office, duty or power In this regard. Weil have the minority of that dominant party registered their protest against this Illegal p.nd unconstitutional power! Their names will be honored by all who believe In good government and In the preservation of the Institutions which cost so much to establish. If hnvine-'become nnnnrent thai' a lefs deadlock has been established, go'tha tho caucus candidate cannot be It not the duty of the Republican members and of the Democratic minority to unite Ir. delivering a death blow to caucus rule by voting unitedly for some man whether 'he calls himself a Demnrr.it or A Rpmth- lian it matters little who has tbe abll- Itv properly to represent the great state of New York in the Senate of the United States? There are such men still left In this state, great statesmen like our ex- i'resident, great Jurists like Edgar M. Cullen or George L.

Ingraham. great lawyers like George L. Rives. Frederick V. Whitridge or David Leventritt.

great editors like Dr. McKelway or Herman Ridder or Whltelaw Held, or great merchants like Charles A. Schieren or R. Fulton Cutting. The Interests of the people of this state would be safe In the hands of any of these men, who own themselves: they would not be secure If confided to political puppets or purchased "statesmen." however respectable these latter might appear to be.

The honor of the state staked upon the Usue of this contest. SUN RISES AND SETS. March 18. I March 19. 6:02 6:06 6:01 SHIP NEWS.

Mounting the Roosevelt Trophies The news item during the week telling of the anxiety of Colonel Roosevelt concerning the mounting of his specimens of the hunt is the basis of an article by The Eagle's Washington correspondent, telling jUst what is being done by the men in charge of the work. A group of expert taxidermists is engaged in the preparation of the skins and in the mounting of them. Th work is going on quietly, deliberately, and the models are mounted in the most lifelike poses, as special illustrations will show.

A Historic Landmark Preserved The Legislature of New York State this week showed a truly patriotic spirit in setting aside a $40,000 fund for the preserva-' tion of one of the most famous houses of Revolutionary fame in the country.

The house and its history are described in a special article. Health in Studies The announcement by an authority on the subject that the air in our courtrooms would kill a man compelled to breathe it for twelve hours is a commentary on ventilation that meets gratifying answer in this article.

Coincident with the unprecedented increase in exports was a corresponding decrease in imports. What this indicates, how our manufactures are being given a wider market and how we are economizing in our use of foreign luxuries are set forth in a special article to appear in the Financial Section.

Tuskegee Institute in the South will soon have a rival in the North if the plans of the directors of the Howard Orphan Asylum find realization. A great farm on Long Island has been bought for the work. The plans of the institution and what it has already done for colored children form the basis of this interesting account. The Bug Prophets at Work Dire forebodings throw a gloomy shadow over the hearts of such American farmers as are pinning their faith on the predictions of the locust prophets. These sages declare that the year 1911 will see the greatest onslaught of destructive insect pests in modern history that perhaps the fields will be entirely desolated.
