If the Western Passenger associa- tion will settle the question of sum- mer tourist rates in Minnesota right now, it will help a'whole lot in the publicity campaign of the Twin Cities. From a layman’s point of view there is no reason on earth why the outside world should not have every possible opportunity to enjoy the unsurpassed summer ad- vantages of Minnesota.—Ralph Wheelock, in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The co-operation of the railway companies in-exploiting the wonder- ful beauties of northern Minnesota lakes and our unequaled attractions as summer resorts, as well as offering tourist rates to ‘these parts,” are much desired. The outside world knows too little of this most beauti- ful portion of the great “North Star State;” and the majority of the rail- way companies have been altogether to lavish in their inducements to the public to visit Canada and other re- mote points.

THAW RENEWS FIGHT FOR FREEDOM TODAY Mother Seeks His Release on Haheas Gorpus Writ. Nyack, N. Y., Jan. +—For the third time since the commitment of Harry K. Thaw to the state hospital for the insane at Matteawan his case came into court today, when arguments ‘were made before Supreme Court Jus- tice Tompkins on the writ of habeas corpus obtained by his mother, Mrs. Mary C. Thaw. In the new proceedings Mrs. Thaw asks that her son’s sanity be tested by a jury trial. She says, among other things, that her son is not a criminal, having been acquitted by a Jury; that he is now sane and should not be kept a prisoner in the asylum. In the previous attempts of Thaw to be freed from the asylum he was opposed by his mother, but, after spending much time at Matteawan, visiting him daily, she is, she says, convinced that he is not insane.

INFORMATION LEAKS OUT Was Sent to Senator Hale In Re- sponse to a Resolution Asking for Reports on the Use of Uncle Sam's Detective .Department — Executive 8aid to Have Copies of Letters Writ- ten by South Carolinan. ‘Washington, Jan. .—And now it is Senator Tillman of South Carolina who is on the trail of President Roose- velt. By direction of President Roosevelt secret sorvice men shadowed Senator Tillman of South Carolina on the the: ory that he possibly was interested in an Oregon “land grab” and the result of that investigation is now “before the senate. The information was contained in a communication from President Roose- velt, sent in response to a request made by Senator Hale to the heads of the executive departments for a statement of the activity of secret service operatives. Exhaustive re- plies were made by the various de- partments and all of these were for- warded to” Senator Hale by the pres- ident. They have not been made pub- lic and Senator Hale announced that they would not be given out until after they had been considered by a sub-committee of the committee on appropriations which will be charged with the duty of acting upon that por- tion of the president’s annual message relating to the secret service and criticising members of - congress for their restriction of its use. Soon after President Roosevelt's communication to Senator Hale was received at the Capitol it became noised about that it contained a re- flection upon a senator from a South- ern state. The name of the senator was not divulged for a time and as a result the atmosphere of the senate was surcharged . with curiosity and much speculation. No Further Information. ‘When it finally became known that Senator Tillman was the member named further efforts to procure in- formation concerning the character of the charges were made, but without avail. Through the fact that several sena- tors had advance information of the character of the report which was to be sert to the senate it was learned that the investigation of Senator Till- man. followed an, attack which he made in the senate nearly a year ago upon an Oregon land company which had used his name as one &f the per- sons interested in the concern. Pre- vious to that attack Semator Tillman had introduced a resolution directing the attorney general to prosecute suits against an Oregon railroad corpora- tion which had received land grants in the late sixties for a line from a California point to Portland, Ore. Mr. Tillman had said that the use of his name was without authority and as a result it is declared that several per- sons interested in the land grants be- came angered. Some of the interested partles are reported to have sent to President Roosevelt copies of letters alleged to have been written by Senator Tillman, indicating that he had an interest in one of the land companies which would be benefitted through land com- panies obtaining possession of the grants in question. After receiving this information it is said a secret service operative was directed to in- vestigate the part Senator Tillman was alleged to have taken in the land cases. ALIENISTS ON THE STAND Declare Captain "Hains Was Insane When He Killed Annis. Flushing, N. Y., Jan. :)—A blow from an unexpected quarter was re- ceived by the defense in the trial of T. Jenkins Hains when Dr. L. Samuel Manson, an alienist, under cross-ex- amination by Prosecutor Darrin, de- clared that Captain Hains suffered from maniac depressive insanity last August, an ailment that would have prevented him from recognizing the face or name of any enemy. The allenist said that in a patlent suffer- ing from such a malady all power was practically lost. Prosecutor Darrin, taking advantage of the admission of the defense’s allenist, asked him if his opinion of Captain Hains’ mental condition would be changed if he knew that the army officer had con- Yersed intelligently before and after the shooting of Willlam E. Annis and that he recognized his victim as his boat neared the float. The medical expert said bis opinion remained un- changed. L Aeronaut’s Body Found at Sea. Hamburg, Jan. )—The body of Licutenant Foertsch, the German aer- onaut who lost his life at sea last October, was picked up in the North sea two days ago by the fishing steam- er Orion.

ITALIAN PARLIAMENT MEETS will Adopt Measures for Relief of Earthquake Sufferers. Rome, Jan. \,—The chamber of dep- uties was opened in special session to consider the adoption of measures to bring relief to the devastated prov- inces of Southern Italy. ‘When President Marcoa arose to eddress the chamber deep silence en- sued. With trembling voice and vis- ible emotion Signor Marcoa delivered &_speech expressing the grief of the representatives 6f the Tatlon and the country at large in the catastrophe which has overtaken Calabria and the eastern part of Sicily, He said that even those members who had had the privilege of following the workings of the Italian parliament from its birth up to today could remember nothing more appalling. Premier Giolitti followed with a precise statement of what had oc- curred in the south and a recital of the rellef measures adopted, giving a clear picture of the situation. In con: clusion he presented a plan of legis- lation to give the government power to cope with the extraordinary circum- stances, USUAL FESTIVITIES ~ ARE ABANDONED Queen of Italy’s Wishes Garried Out o Birthday, Rome, Jan. 9.—Following the de- sires expressed by Queen Helena the anniversary of her birth, which was observed here, was not attended by any of the usual festivities. Her majesty is reported to have said that this year she wished to celebrate the day by working doubly hard for the QUEEN HELENA, Calabrian and Sicilian sufferers, whose sufferings she cannot drive from her mind. Her two daughters, Princess Yolia and Mafalda, respectively seven and six years old, instead of buying birthday presents for their mother, turned over the contents of their money boxes to the relief fund. The news that the Duke of Con- naught is to arrive here Sunday has produced great satisfaction and is re- garded as a fresh demonstration of the sympathy of Great Britain in the "earthquake disaster. British ships rendered great help in the southern provinces during the first days of the rellef work. TANG SHAO YI RECALLED Now at Washington on Special Diplo- matic Mission. Peking, Jan. 9—Tang Shao Yi, who is at present in Washington on a spe- -cial diplomatic mission from the Chi- nese government, has been recalled to Peking. He will come back via Eu- rope, leaving Washington immedi- ately. The American and British ministers here have abandoned their project to unite the various powers in a protest against the disturbing of the present policy of the Chinese government, which is thought to have been initi- ated inthe dismissal from office last week of Yuan Shi Kai, a member of the grand council, and this phase of the question is now regarded as at an end. The mission of Tang Shao Yi has been enormously expensive and in some quarters here his summary re- call is regarded as giving color to the reports that charges of extravagance have been lodged against Yuan Shi VICTIM A MILWAUKEE MAN Case of Attempted Murder on Chi- cago Streets. Chicago, Jan., 9—A man bearing evidence of wealth, who staggered into a North Side garage Wednesday night dying of murderously inflicted wounds, was identifled as Arthur H. Campbell, a boot and shoe manufac- turer of Milwaukee. Campbell was incoherent when he staggered into the garage and has since been unconscious at the hos- pital. It was at first thought the man was the victim of an automobile acci- dent. This theory was abandoned when a revolver with one chamber empty was found in the neighborhood. The police, on the strength of this and-corroborative circumstances, pro- nounced the case one of attempted murder. . OVERCOME BY COAL GAS Thirty-five School Children Narrowly Escape Death. Pottsville, Pa., Jan. )—Thirty-five pupils of the Mount Carbon school, south of Pottsville, and their teacher, Miss Laura Desher, were overcome by coal gas caused by a leaky stove- plpe and it was only through the prompt action of the young woman that the lives of her charges were saved. Noticing several of the chil: dren falling asleep and herself be- coming stupefied Miss Desher quickly comprehended the cause. She picked up four of the children and carried them outside and in returning for a fitth child she was herselt overcome and fell over unconscious, Several women lving in the neighhorhood saw the four little ones lying on the school house porch and upon investi- gation found the entire school of thir- ty-five children in a comatose state.

Priof to the discussion the special committee reported the follow- ing resolution: “Resolved, That the house, in the exercise of its constitutional prerog- atives, declines to consider any com- munication from any source which is not, in its own judgment, respectful; and, be it further “Resolved, That the special commit- tee and the committee of the whole house on the state of the Union be discharged from any consideration of 80 much of the president’s annual message as relates to the secret serv- ice and that the said portion of the message be lald on the table; and, be it further ;- “Resolved, That the message of the Dresident sent to the house on Jan. 4, 1909, being unresponsive to the in- quiry of the house and constituting an invasion of ‘the privileges of this house by guestioning the motives and intelligence of members in the exer- cise of their constitutional rights and functions, be laid on the table.” Perking Opens the Discussion. When Chairman Perkins of New York of thy special committee arose to make his report he faced an al- most full membership, while the gal- leries. were packed with interested spectators. Messrs, Tawney, Smith of Iowa, Sherley and Fitzgerald were on the floor prepared by word of mouth to resent what they deemed to be the insinuations of the president upon them as members of the committee on appropriations. Before presenting the resolutions Mr. Perkins spoke at some length, declaring that the por- tions of the message objected to were a breach of -the privileges of the house and that body should decline to consider them. After Mr. Perkins had concluded his speech he gave way to Mr. Denby, Who, in the "course of his remarks, sald that the president had veered from the path of recommendation and Just criticism into the realm of per- sonal abuse, spoken and inuendo. Mr. Driscoll of New York made an effort to obtain from Mr. Perkins a promise that the time for the discus- slon of the resolution should be ex- tended. During the discussion Secre- tary Latta appeared with three mes- sages from the White House and his appearance was greeted with roars of laughter. The messages proved tobe of a routine character and were not allowed to interrupt the proceedings for any length of time. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota followed amd he was given an ovation as he arose to speak. In presenting his views of the case Mr. Tawney de- clared that nothing could. contribute 80 much to the destruction of the re- public as an attempt upon the part of one branch of it to impeach the honor and integrity of another branch.

Detroit, Mich., Jan. )—Rumors, theories and conjectures are the only harvest thus far of the sensational “Rattle Run” Methodist church mur- der mystery and the rumors that either the missing Rev. John Car- michael or the equally sought Gideon Browning, village carpenter, had been seen since the murder in the church Tuesday proved to be baseless. Mrs. Carmichael,- wife of the miss- Ing preacher, was taken to Port Hu- ron with a number of other residents of the village of Adair to be: ques- tioned by the prosecuting attorney that the officers might secure every fact in her possession that could bear on the disappearance of her husband and Browning.

She stated that she terself had pinted if in his necktle ‘efore hig Teft home Tuesday, the dey the mui';ar occurred. Deputy Sherift Moore has gone to 8t.

Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain, the weakened, irritable stomach. is unable to digest food, the body . does not receive the required nourishment, constipation ensues and = the victim becomes thin, weak and haggard. As a result, the body becomes a fertile field for the germs of disease to lodge and flourish.
