ROOT ADDRESSES TRIBUNAL Begins Closing Arguments on Fishing Case Before the Hague. The Hague, Aug. 3. — Senator Root began the closing arguments for the American side of the question of the New Foundland fishing case before The Hague tribunal yester- day, Sir W. S. Robson, the British attorney, having earlier concluded his speech to which he devoted nearly six days. Sen. Root in his argument pointed out that the prolonged pleadings in the case were fully justified by the importance of the dispute, which was so great that, without the arbitration tribunal it could not have been ad- judicated without resort to war. Senator Root claimed that the dif- ference between the English and American points of views largely arose from the fact that Great Brit- ain regarded the question as one of a soveaeignty, while America stood on the question of the rights accorded by treaty. America, he said, was ready to recognize British sovereignty in the matter but was opposed to laws in- compatible with the treaty of 1818. State Has Big Balance.

Old Moon Bel The health, growth and development of children and animals were years ago supposed to be influenced by the moon. If the sign was right at the time of birth they would be well formed and intellectual, but if it was wrong there was no telling what sort of creatures they would become. Every worthless fellow, every dog, rooting hog, fence Jumping cow or kicking horse was be- lieved to have been born under an un- favorable phase of the queen of night. Queer people or those who were of hateful disposition were children of the dark moon, with the sign below the heart. Especially the Police.

BOTH SIDES DETERMINED Railroads Will Try to Convince the Interstate Commerce Commission That They Are in Need of a Marked Advance in Tariffs, While Shippers Will Contend That the Car- riers Are Already Looting the Public. Washington, Aug. 3.—The opening of the interstate commerce rate hear- ing in Chicago Aug. 22 will be the be- ginning of one of the greatest com- mercial battles in history, according to indications here. Under the terms of the recently amended Hepburn act the railroads are going to try to convince the com- mission that they are in need of # general and marked advance in freigh! rates. Opposing them will be an army of shippers and shippers’ organizations, contending that the railroads are bursting with #1 gotten gains and that the increase demanded is only another scheme for looting the public. One specific charge made by a Chi- cago corporation is that the North- western railroad is making so much money that it conceals from the pub- lic the true volume of its profits. President Taft has been deluged with letters from large and small cor- porations in all parts of the country imploring him to thwart the latest moye of the railroads. He also has received voluminous petitions from railroad employes and resolutions from railroad men’s organizations, let- ters from railway supply dealers and from numerous corporations endors- ing a freight rate advance. Arguments for an Increase. The letters to the president advocat- ing a rate increase submit these argu- ments: Increase in the cost of living; in- creased wages and cost of equipment warrant increased rates. The agitation - over railroad de- mands is hurting business and should be ended by giving roads what they want. The arguments enunciated by the protesting corporations are: The railroads have been wallowing in profits for two decades and their increase in earnings more than offsets any increase in expenses. A rate advance is needed by the roads in order to support dividends on an ocean of watered stock and any general increase allowed will be ikely to precipitate another stock watering panic of the 1907 brand. The railroads should be compelled to open their books and prove that they need the money. The alleged increase in expenses is largely due to grafting concessions to officials within the managgment of the railroad corporations. MAN AND WOMAN FOUND DEAD Resort Keeper Believed to Have Killed Physician and Herself. Pittsburg, Aug. 3.—The police are fully satisfied that Edna Wallace, a well known resort keeper, shot and killed Dr. W. Murray Stuart, a prom- inent physician, and then committed suicide after fully concocting the plan after receipt of the report that Stuart was to marry a Winchester (Va.) girl. According to news received here arrangements had been made for the wedding and Stuart was preparing to leave here. According to the police the position of the bodies as they were found in Stuart’s bachelor apartments indicates that the womon had killed him and then shot herself. Both had been dead eighteen hours when found. UNDER THE RECENT RULING Statue of Jefferson Davis May Be Placed in National Capitol. Washington, Aug. 3.—1It is believed in . Washington that the decision of President Taft and Attorney General ‘Wickersham that there is no law un- der which the state of Virginia can be made to remove the statue of Rob- ert K. Lee from Statuary hall in the Capitol will be followed by the plac- ing of a statue of Jefferson Davis there by Mississippl. A careful exam- ination of the opinion of the attorney general has convinced officials of-the government here that nothing could be done to prevent the Davis statue from being placed in the Capitol. Wolves Kill Young Stock. Pierre, 8. D., Aug. 3.—Gray wolves are reported to be doing a great deal of damage to young stock south of Philip, the animals hiding in the breaks olong White and Bad rivers and only getting ‘out to do, their dam- age in the night, retiring to their dens in the daytime. A general hunt is being arranged with the hope.of get- ting rid of the pests. Roosevelt Shuns Politics. Delaware Water Gap, Pa., Aug. 3.— Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by Lawrence Abbott, is registered at the Water Gap House, coming here from New York by automobile. On his ar- rival at the hotel Colonel Roosevelt was given a reception and spoke briefly. He shunned political sub- jects. 3 Fires Her Clothes in Cell. Chicago, Aug. 3.—Locked in a cell at the Chicago avenue police station after she had been robbed during a quarrel with Ravo Mosino, Emma Limbke, twenty-five years old, set fire to her clothing and probably was fa- tally burned before policemen tore the COLONEL GEORGE HARVEY, Well Known Editor Latest Member of Ananias Club. ROLL OF ANANIAS CLUB REOPENED Editor Harvey Infiated by Colo- nel Roosevelt, New York, Aug. 3.—Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt has added another dis- tinguished member_to the Ananias club in the person 0f Colonel George Harvey, editor of the North American Review. The initiation took place in the office of the Outlook, of which Colonel Roosevelt is contributing editor, and the new member, while not actually present, was put through with much vim and considerable bounce. While Colonel Roosevelt did not use the “shorter and uglier word” in connection with Colonel Harvey his lauguage was distinctly blunt and plain. % The reopening of the club, which was closed just prior to Mr. Roose- velt’s departure for Africa, was brought about through an article in the August number of the North Amer- icon Review entitled “Is Roosevelt an Asset or a Liability?” and which was signed “The Editor.” In a paragraph at the top of page 151 this sentence oceurs: “But recently Roosevelt, the man, declared that if a national election were to be held next November he undoubtedly would be the Republican candilate and would win.” When Colonel Roosevelt saw this his eyes snapped and his teeth clicked as he almost shouted: “That is a simple falsehood; I have never said Janything like that.” It was pointed out to Colonel Roose- velt that Colonel Harvey evidently meant to convey the impression that he would be forced to accept the nom- ination. By this time Colonel Roose- velt appeared extremely angry and, agaln repeating that he had never .| made the statement attributed to him, made a rush for the waiting elevator. GANS GOING HOME TO DIE Former Lightweight Champion Knows the End Is Near. Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 3.—Joe Gans, the former lightweight champion, who has been in this city for months ill with consumption, left here for his home in Baltimore. His physical con- dition was unchanged. Just before taking the train Gans said: “I know that I am going to die and for the time I am growing weaker day by day. I want to sce mother and the two children in Baltimore be- fore I die. I did not realize my con- dition. My last two fights broke down my constitution and made me an easy victim for consumption.” BY ADMINISTERING POISON lowa Woman Kills Two Young Daugh- ters and Herself.

In hope of relief he had sought his old friend, the barber, and the latter had been busy on Bent- ley’s head and face for the past hour. “By- Jove, Karl,” sald Bentley as the barber rubbed’the top of his head, “that feels mighty good. 1 can tell you. The man who. inveited massage was not only a genius, but a benefactor to the whole human race. They ought to put up a stitue fo Him.: I'here’s noth- ing like it when a fellow feels seedy. There’s only onme trouble about fit.” “Vot iss 1t?" asked Karl, hoping that perhaps be- mlgut overcome the diffi- culty. “Why, it’s all on the outside,” said Bentley. “If there were only some ap- paratus that would enable you to get inside a fellow’s head” and clear out the pains-of the morning after, what a blessing 1t would be.” “Vell,” sald Karf, “I t'ink that maybe some day dose vacuum cleaner fellers vill do dot-.already.

Every Sun- day he contributed to the Journal de Clamecy, and this is the sort of things he used to give the peasants. Writing of the Journal Officlel, posted up on the wall of the mairfe and which no one ever reads, he said: “l had forgotten the goats. One of them never misses a number. Standing on its hind legs, with its front legs resting on the poster, it moves its horns and’ beard from right to left, like an old woman reading. When it has finished reading, as the official sheet has an appetizing smell of fresh paste, the goat eats It. After nourish- ing the mind one must feed the body. Thus nothing is lost In the commune.
