BY ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE Resolution Is Passed Placing the House on Record—A Compromise Freight Rate Measure Also Is Passed by the House. Paul, April 10.—The Minnesota of representatives went on rec- ord as favoring a third term for Presi- dent Roosevelt. Representative Swan Nelson of Minneapolis presented the resolution and is was passed by a rising vote and without debate. When the speaker announced the vote, J. G. Lennon of Minneapolis, who had remained in his seat, asked if the speaker had declared the vote unani- mous. “Almost unanimevs,” replied the speaker. The Democratic members did not vote. The text of the resolution follows: “Whereas, By his wise initiative and courageous leadership the present president of the United States has become prominently identified with the cause of political, social and busi- ness reform; and, “Whereas, The great work of which he has been and now is the most dis- tingulshed exponent is yet unfinished; and, “Whereas, With singular unanimity the great body of the people of the United States, without regard to polit- ical affiliation, has explicit confidence in his great ability, unselfish patriot- {sm and unswerving fidelity to his ex- alted trust; therefore, “Be it resolved, by the house of rep- rosentatives, the senate concurring, That the best interests of the general government and the successful estab- lishment of the great public measures which have been inaugurated by the present national administration de- mand the nomination and re-election of Theodore Roosevelt to the pres- idency of the United States.” Compromise Freight Rate Bill. The end of the railroad litigation which it was expected would tie up freight and passenger reductions dur- ing the next three to five years is now in sight. The house passed a freight rate bill which is a compromise be- tween the present commodity rats and the reduced commodity rates ol dered by the state railroad comm slon. It is believed that the railroads will accept the rates provided in the bill. It is also suggested that the roads will accept the 2-cent passenger fare bill. The house voted down the bill the purpose of which was to enable the voters of cities to legislate for them- selves. The bill introduced by B. H. Timber- lake of Minneapolis, requiring an ex- { amination of the eyes and ears of all ! pupils in the public schools, when it came up for its final reading in the house secured just sixty votes, the ex- act number required for the passage of a bill. The house passed the judges’ salary bill by a vote of 64 to 31. F. B. Phil- lips of Ramsey county made another attack on the bill, but with no result. The bill increases the supreme court Justices from $5,000 to $7,000 and the district judges from $3,500 to $4,200, with the present additional $1,500 in the three large counties. The coupon ballot bill, introduced in the house by J. P. Cummings of St. Paul was reported for passage in a modified form by the house committee on elections. Instead of instituting the system over the entire state the amended bill gives the county boards authority to use the system in the county. The anti-treating bill, introduced by Representing T. H. Horton of North Branch, was killed by the adoption of the report of the house committee on temperance. Hospital Farm for Inebriates. The house passed W. L. Hollister's bill for the creation of a hospital farm for inebriates. Under the bill a tax of 2 per cent of all license money col- lected in the state is to be levied to provide funds for the site, buildings and maintenance. Thte will bring $8,000 annually from St. Paul alone and probably $40,000 or more annually in the state. The Iowa distance tariff bill intro- duced by Senator T. E. Cashman of Owatonna was killed in the senate af- ter the per ton mile provision had been stricken from the bill upon the motion of the author. The senate passed the mortgage registry tax bill, with thirty-eight votes in the affirmative and fourteen in the negative. The bill passed was H. F. No. 561, which was amended by striking out all but the first two sec- tions of the house bill and substitut- ing all but the first two sections of the senate bill, Introduced by Senator Frank Clague of Lamberton. The two bills were very similar in their provisions in the main, although there were some differences in some of the sections. The principal differ- ence between the bills was that the ‘house bill provided that the money re- ceived from this tax should go to the state, while the senate bill gives it to the county. The tax is 50 cents per $100 of the amount of the mortgage, which is to be pald when the instru- ment is registered. Mortgages upon which the tax is not paid will not be considered valid.

The refuse and waste matter of the body is not carried out as nature intends, but is left to ferment and sour and generate uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood. The first evidence of Rheumatism is usually little wandering pains in the muscles and joints, or a tender, sensitive place on the flesh. These are often so slight that nothing is thought of them and they pass away; but with each recurrence the trouble becomes more severe, and from slight wandering pains and excited nerves, Rheumatism grows to be a painful and almost constant trouble, The longer the poison remains in the blood the firmer hold the trouble gets on the sys- tem. Fach day the acid deposit is increasing and the disease grows worse from year to year, After awhile the joints become coated with a corrosive substance which seriously interferes with their working and movements and sometimes they become permanently stiff and useless. 8. S. S. cures Rheumatism by going down into the blood and attacking the disease at its head. It neutralizes the poisons and acids and dissolves the salts and irritating deposits, making the [} ® @® blood dstream };urei, fresh and healthy. 8.S.S is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and PURELY VEGETABLE is therefore a safe remedy, When the blood has been purified by S.S. S., the pains and aches pass away, and the cure is permanent. Book:on Rheumatism, and medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.

JEROME VERY BITTER Mercilessly Attacks Evelyn Thaw in His Address to Jury. BRANDS HER STORY AS FALSE O Biting Sarcasm He Repeatedly Re- fers to Defendant’s Wife as the “Angel Child” and to Thaw as the Modern “St. George.” New York, April 11.—District Attor- ney Jerome began the address for the prosecution in the Thaw trial at 11:40 a. m. Al previous crowds were in- slgnificant compared with the mob that stormed the doors for admission to the courtroom and every inch of space was utilized for the accommoda- tion of spectators. Mr. Jerome began his address by telling the jury they had been wan- dering through the fields of romance for two days, referring to the time occupied by Attorney Delmas in his plea for the defendant. Mr. Jerome said the case at trial was not one of rape, but one of murder and declared that an appeal to the sympathy and passions of the jury was a broad de- parture from the duty of counsel. There could, he said, be but one of four ver- dicts—murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, man- slaughter or “not guilty because of insanity.” Continuing, Mr. Jerome referred sarcastically to “dementia Ameri- cana,” asking if it was the higher law under which a man may flaunt the woman through the capitals of Europe for two years as his mistress and then kill. He warned the jury that it would be a violation of tieir oath to con- sider “dementia Americana,” declaring it had no status on the American sea- board. Fiery Attack on Evelyn. Mr. Jerome then made a fiery at- tack upon Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, refer- ring to her sarcastically as the “angel child,” saying she seemed always ready to go to the “human ogre, who had. stripped her of her virtue.” He said it seemed to him-that the voice of the murdered Stanford White was crylng out to him: “Can’t you say one word for me? Must I do down to the fires of hell unheard—unde- fended?” Mr, Jerome went into the details of the evidence regarding Thaw’s ac- tions and words after the killing of Stanford White and said that there was not one thing that did not show absolute calmness, coolness and ra- tionality. Referring to Evelyn Thaw’s story on the stand the district attorney de- clared it was false. He spoke with much vehemence in defense of Stan- ford White and his words fairly bris- tled with sarcasm when he had occa- sfon to refer to Thaw as the modern “St. George” and Evelyn as “the angel child.” He rounded out his defensc of White with the declaration that “a man may not be virtuous, he may be unchaste, but it does not follow that he is a brute.” Taking up the character of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Mr. Jerome said: “We all know what the life of the stage is. ‘What was Garland running after her for? Why did Thaw send her roses and $50 bills?” “Now then, we see that the whole situation centers about this girl. It was she who in the long run brought this about and so I will endeavor to give you a deeper insight to the life and thoughts of this “angel child.” Quotes From Evelyn's Diary. Mr. Jerome then quoted from the diary of Evelyn Nesbit, which, he said, had been given to him by the police and not by her mother. sages, the district attorney argued, clearly show that the mind of the “angel child” was not as simple and as unsophisticated as Mr. Delmas would have the jury believe. Contin- uing, he said: “This is the child who traveled through all Europe with St. George— St. George, who told her there was chastity among women—St. George, who gave her her first moral horizon. ‘What does she do when she leaves him? She comes hack to America, landing on Saturday, comes back on Thaw’s money. She does not see Stanford White on Sunday, but on These pas- mel’s office with him.” Mr. Jerome referred to the crime as “simply a common, vulgar, every day Tenderloin homicide” and to Thaw’s much discussed letters to Attorney Longfellow as “the erratic and vulgar productions of a rich illiterate.” Mr. Jerome then directed his atten- tion to the Hummel affidavit. “I don't think Hummel is an upright man,” he said. “I was after him for years and finally got him. He will go to jail if I can put him there and he'll stay there if T can keep him there. Any- thing that comes from his hands can Justly be viewed with suspicion, but in this afidavit there also figure two reputable clerks, Snydecker and Jacob- son” N Mr. Jerome closed with quoting the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” and Justice Fitzgerald ordered a re- cess of half an hour, when, at 4:15, he began his charge to the jury. American Cut to Pieces. Mobile, Ala., April 11.—The collec- tor of the port of Trujillo, Honduras, who has arrived here, says that Gen- eral Lee Christmas of Memphis, Tenn., an officer in the Honduran army, was cut to pleces by Nicaraguan soldiers. BY DECISION OF COURT. Victory for Standard Oil Company in Pending Case. Chicago, April 11.—A victory for the defense was scored in the trial of the Standard Oil company when Judge Landis, in the United States district court, announced that the Standard 0il company may produce evidence showing that the company did not in- tend to violate the law in the accept- ance of unlawful rates. The court also decided that the shipper does not need to go further than a railroad sta- tion to learn the legal rate. Argu- Tuesday we find her at Abraham Hum-’ | !ments on these subjects had been un- der, discussion for four days, attor- neys for the defense maintaining that the Standard Oil company did not “knowingly and wilfully” accept un- lawful rates from the Chicago and Alton railroad. “The question as presented to my mind,” sald Judge Landis in making his ruling, “shows that the defense may make any showing of facts to ex- cuse the shipper, it being shown that the defendant applied to the carrier for. rates and was induced to believe that the 6-cent rate was lawful.” FORCED T0 CLOSE :DOORS Suspension of Philadelphia : Savings and Trust Company. 5 Philadelphia, April 11.—The Lin- coln Savings and Trust company, one of the small financial institutions of Philadelphia, has suspended business by order of John A. Berkey, state com- . missioner of banking, on the ground that the capital of the company is impaired. The total resources of the institution are $421,000 and the de- posits amount to $250,000. At the last examination there was a sunplus of $14,000. James I. Comly, the president of the company, is in Harrisburg in confer- ence with Commissioner Berkey and in his absence Henry F. Stitzell, the treasurer, said: “This company is absolutely solvent and there is not & possibility of any creditor of the institution not being paid in full.” Mr. Stitzell said that the matter of a possible impairment of the capital is a question of opinlon. In the judg- ment of the officers, he said, the cap- ital is not impaired and the company is able to protect all depositors. YOUTH MAKES CONFESSION Nine-Year-Old Boy Twice Attempts Train Wrecking. Newcastle, Pa.,, April 11.—Eugene Fandozzi, aged nine years, the son of an Italian resident of Struthers, 0., is sald to have made a confession to Division Superintendent * Thorton of the Pennsylvania railway that he had twice atiempted to wreck fast trains on the Pennsylvania railway near Lowellville, 0. fifteen miles west of here. The first attempt occurred Feb. 6, when a shifting crew discovered a pole, weighted down with stones, placed across the main line just be- fore a fast express train was due. Tuesday afternoon the Pennsylvania fast train, eastbound from Cleveland to Pittsburg, struck an obstruction in the same vicinity, but remained on the track. The boy was taken to Youngs- town, where it is said two charges of train wrecking will be made against him. NEW HEAD OF RAILROAD. L. F. Lores President of Delawars and Hudson. New York, April 11.—L.

President, SPEAKS ONLY- FOR-HIMSELF Sees in Head of War Department the Man+- Who .Mere‘ Than Any Other Living Person, Typifies the Spirit of the. Roosevelt-Administration. Cincinnati, April 11.—Congressman Nicholas Longworth, who has returnea home from Washington, in an inter- view declared himself in favor of the nomination of Secretary Taft as the Republican : candidate for president. He said that his opinion was personal and that he spoke only for himself, but that he believed that Taft, in the eyes of the people, typified the Roose- velt administration. Mr. Longworth said: H “Since it has been announced that Secretary, of War William H. Taft has been a candidate it seems to me that the sole question involved is whether or not ;the Republicans of Ohlo will endorse him for the presidency. Sec- retary Taft peing a candidate for pres- ident and no other office I cannot see how any other offices are involved. “Personally, and speaking only for myself, I am for Taft for president. The great question before the people in the next presidential election will be, in my opinion, the Approval or Disapproval of Republican policies as registered by the legislative and executive branches of this government for the past eight years under the administra- tion.of President Roosevelt. “It seems to me that after the pres- ident himself there is‘'mo living man ‘who so thoroughly typifies in the eyes of the people the spirit of the Roose- velt ' administration as Willlam H. Taft. There is no one who can be bet- ter trusted to carry out many of the great reforms which will be necessar- ily incomplete upon the retirement of Prosident Roosevelt March 4, 1909, as William H. Taft. His whole life since he hecame of age has been devoted to the public service. His whole record has been without a speck; his charac- ter without a flaw; his ability as jurtst and as administrative officer have been so distinguishing to have already placed him in the rank of the very great men of the history of this country. “Ohio, more than any other state, is known as the mother of presidents. I believe that the time is at hand when she may become the mother of another president, for I firmly believe that if the Republicans of Ohio stand by William H. Taft he can be nominated and elected.” AUDITOR OF THE NAVY. Ralph W. Tyler, a Negro, Named by President. ‘Washington, April 11.—The pres- ident has appointed Ralph W. Tyler, a negro, of Columbus, O., to be auditor of the treasury for the navy depart- ment. Tyler is the man who, it was announced, had been considered .by the president for a federal position in Ohio, particularly that of surveyor of customs at Cincinnati. He succeeds ‘Willlam W. Brown, who has been ap- pointed to the position of special at- torney in the department of justice. Although it is understood that he was not endorsed for this particular place it is said that both Senators Foraker and Dick endorsed Tyler for various positions. STEAD "AT WASHINGTON. Englishman Says He and Roosevelt Agree on Peace. ‘Washington, April 11.—“I find the president and [ are absolutely in ac- cord as to the importance of confining the efforts of the propaganda to sober, sane and practical proposals which can be carried out.” These were the words used by W.

The government was not at first a party to either of the suits, but since the law has been attacked it has in- tervened and the department of jus- tice will be represented in the argu- ment. The attorney general has filed an exhaustive brief in the case in which he strenuously upholds the law. On the point as to whether congress has the power to regulate the Instru- mentality of interstate commerce the attorney general contends that such regulation is in line with the regula- tion of interstate commerce itself and he asserts that the courts have fre- quently recognized the power to reg- ulate the liability of common carrfers. “It is difficult,” he proceeds, “to see why, if congress may regulate the lability of common carrlers and oth- ers engaged in Interstate commerce to strangers, it may not regulate their Hability to their employes, the protec- tlon of interstate commerce belng as much involved in the one case as in the other.” FOR RENT.
