BRAINS AND
CAPITAL.
RusSellSage Says They Rule the
World
And IntimateS That They Will
Triumph Over
THE SUPREME COURT
THE SUPREME COURT
In the Matter Of Railroad Traf-
fic Associations.
He Advises the Public to Keen
Cool and Wait.

New York, March 25.-Russell Sage,
when interviewed today, regarding the
decision of the supreme court against
the transmissouri traffic association said
that a four to five decision was not
alarming after all.
1T is bound to come out all right in
the end" continued Mr.. Sage.
There is no question on that point.
Brains and capital have ruled the world
since the advent of man, and natural
laws have not been changed because of
this one adverse decision. No human
law can prevent the combination of in
terests in social or business affairs. So
called protective laws are not needed
by the public, for no association or
trust has yet been able to operate a a
profit for any length of time when it
attempted to Cypress the people
I think an amendment to the present
law will be asked of congress whereby
combinations can be legally effected.
As to the railroad properties in which 1
am personally interested, I do not yet
know what will be done, or whether
they will withdraw from the associa-
lions to which they belong. The asso-
Citations will meet in due course of time
and will talk over the situation careful
~ before taking action. The lawyers
will also consider the case in all its
bearings and evolve some plan of future
procedure. In the meantime, let the
investing public keep COOL"

WOMEN GAMBLERS LOSE.
Chicago Women Follow ar Astrolo-
gers Tip to Their Sorrow.

Chicago, March 25-A number of
Woodlawn women, members of the
Church of Christ, have been speculat-
ing in wheat on tips from an astroIo-
ger and have lost heavily. AS a re-
suit Mrs. Sarah t. Williams of No 644
Englewood avenue has sworn out a
warrant charging Miss Annie Barnet
of No. 5156 Lexington avenue with OBJ
tanning $500 under false pretenses
Mrs. Williams claims that Miss Bar
net persuaded her to lend 81 500 to her
in November on a judgment note on
the representation that the money was
to be invested by a muffin millionaire,
who would place it more advantageous
ly. In January Mrs. Williams asked
for the return of the loan after it is
claimed, she had consulted a fortune
teller.
The multi millionaire" it is said, is
an astrologer, who made the claim to
Miss Barnet and to several of the wo-
men investors that he was not an as
trOloger, but that he had a friend who
was, and who would furnish the spec
ulatiVe tips through him. The wo-
men, it appears, became extensive pa
irons of the astrologer.
At first they won heavily and all went
well. Then the market went contrary
to the predictions and the women
blamed each other with the result that
there was a general falling out.
Seven women are reported to have
lost a total of SOS, 000

in the highest degree warlike. Every
possible post is held and all the roads
are patrolled by cavalry.
The Times correspondent at Athens
says that all kinds of rumors are cur
rent there as to the expected rupture
of the European concert The danger
of delaying q definite solution of the
crisis increases daily. The Crown
Prince Constantine is expected to start
in a few days for the Greek camp at
Larissa, and the risk of a serious out
break is becoming more and more in
tense.
The report of a conflict between the
Turks and Greek volunteers at Arta
has been officially confirmed. Incl
dents of the same character must be
expected.
Neither Greece nor Crete has benefit
ed much in the past by complying with
European beheSts, and unless some
proof is given of the complete abolition
of Turkish rule in Crete the country
will not be satisfied, the correspondent
says. 1t is alleged the reserves will
sion unless satisfaction is obtained now
for Greek sacrifices. The Ephemer1s,
which is obviously inspired by the
court, confirms the statement that the
sultan offered to allow Prince George
to administer Crete in return for the
payment of a tribute to the porte, but
that the powers stopped negotiations.
1t is believed Germany and Austria did
their utmost to prevent such a friendly
arrangement being carried out.

BLUE ON CONGRESS-.
Talks of the Extra Session and the
Home Investigation.

Leavenworth. March 25.-Col. Richard
w. Blue, ex-cOngressman-at- from
Kansas, arrived in the city last evening
to attend to some private business mat
tiers. He was called on by a reporter
and asked for his views on national AFT
fairs and about the work of the extra
session of congress. when he said:
am satisfied that a tariff bill that
VIII meet the expectations of the peo-
pie viii be enacted into a law and that
little else will be done at the extra ses-
sion of congress, except to pass the APP
preparation bills, which failed during
the last session of the 54th congress.
The speaker will not appoint other COM
mittees than those already selected I'M
til the regular meeting of the 55th con-
gress- 1t would be extremely unwise
to enter on general business at this
special session. In my opinion the
present extra session will close by the
middle Of May. perhaps earlier.
NO financial legislation will be at
tempted at this time. The Republican
leaders have wisely concluded to have
prosperity before entering on the ques-
ton of currency and financial reform"
Are you satisfied with the result of
the investigation of the soldiers home?'
In regard to the investigation Of the
western branch of the soldiers home al
Ieavenworth, Kan, 1 have only to say
that the report of the committee has
fully justified all that I have ever
charged as to abuses and mismanage-
ment in this home. The committee and
congress have done their part They
have found facts and made recommen-
dations. The case is now with the board
OF managers for their action. Should
this board fail to do its duty under the
recommendation of congress 1t will in
the end be much the worse for the
board Governor Smith has had his
day in court. His opportunity to dis
prove the charges was full and com
plete. The evidence taken in the in
VestigatiOn covers over a thousand
pages and is open to the inspection of
the board and all others who feel any
interest in the occupants of the soldiers

has been fruitful of reforms in the
homes and Its effects in the future
management of these institutions will
be far reaching and very generally ben

Doctrine of Theosophy Explained by
New York Lawyer.

Philadelphia, March 25.-Mr. NJ. H
Phelps, a prominent lawyer of New
York, lectured before an interested au-
dience last night at the rooms of the
Philosophical society. 1925 New York
avenue, on '"Theosophy, What Is It?"
Philosophy" said he, lis the scientific
and philosophical explanation of the
facts of life, universe, the relation of
man to God, which underlie every re-
ligion. 1t therefore explains the great
problems of life No other system of
thought, no other religion adequately
explains it. The reason rejects mater
ialism on the one hand and special Gre
alton on the other.
''Theosophy shows that evolution is
the pervading law of the universe, not
only with regard to the physical and
mental, but the spiritual nature of man.
Man is immortal. In the present life
he is slowly evolving his higher men
tai and spiritual faculties by the edu-
cational and disciplinary process of life
He will come back to earth, life after
life, until this evolution is completed.
Consideration" he said, proves that
this is by far the most reasonable
system of thought ever offered to the
world. 1t is as absolute as the law of
gravitation, that growth, progress, ad-
vancement in any high sense, is only
possible by means of work for others,
the practice of unselfiShness in its ,pur-
ity. Observing this law, man has be
fore him infinite and God-like poSSibil-
ties of growth and development; per-
sistently disregarding it, he will GER
tainly bring upon himself individual ex-
tinction. Therefore, according to the
osophy, uprightneSs, kindness, gener-
osity, brotherliness, must be cultivated
by each man as he values his life, his
happiness, his future, and even his
claim to Immortality"

FAUST'S BIRTHPLACE SOLD
a Relic of the Middle Ages Reduced
to Old Junk.

Paris, March 25.-The house in Roda,
Saxe-Altenburg, where DR.. Johann
Faust, the famous magician and
soothsayer of legendary fame, was
born toward the last quarter of the
fifteenth century, was knocked down to
a native junk dealer for $25 the other
day The building had almost fallen
to pieces from age, and in order that
it might not fall down the municipal
fathers of the little town ordered its
immediate demolition.
This historic structure stands, or
stood until quite recently, on a rocky
eminence near the JenaischeS Thor
Getty gate)- 1t is a frame building, very
rickety, and has been extensively re-
paired There is a legend that it dates
back to the year 1450 or 1850, as do
many other buildings of Roda~ That
Faust saw the light in one of it's diEgy
rooms, with floors of trampled earth
and tiny windows in leaden frames, is
attested by several authentic state
ments in the town chronicle, and also
in the Faust Buch. printed in 1887, from
which all later writer's on the Faust
legend quote, and which is their chief
authority.

MAKE ANOTHER THREAT.
Powers Order Greece to Withdraw
Troops From the Frontier.

Athens, March 25.-The Greek gov
eminent is about to address another
protest to the powers against the block
ade of the island of Crete and a formal
reputation of all the responsibility for
any consequences to which it may give
rise. The newspapers which represent
the ministerial opposition in the Boule
denounce the proposal of autonomy un-
der Prince George as a betrayal of
Hellenic interests.
1t is now believed in official circles
that the powers will shortly enforce CO.
ercive measures against Greece A col
lective note has been addressed to the
government demanding the recall of the
Greek troops from the frontier and
threatening that in the event of the
refusal of Greece to comply with this
demand the powers will blockade the
Greek ports near the frontier.

TO FIGHT THE PLAGUE.
That is Russia's Excuse for an Army
on the Turkish Frontier.

London, March 25.-A dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says that
the Vail of Erzeroum has informed the
government that two divisions of the
Russian army of Kars, encamped on the
Turkish frontier on Saturday last. On
being asked to explain the movement,
the Russian consul replied that the sole
business of the troops was to take pre-
cautions for excluding the plague.
The vail considers this explanation
unsatisfactory and asks authority from
the porte to take such measures as he
may deem necessary in the circum-
stances. The government has ordered
the Turkish embassies in Europe to
open negotiations for the purchase of
three ironclads at a cost of a million
and a half pounds sterling.

GRAIN MEN CATCH ON.

decision was shown today, when a num-

ISOLATION in billing their cereals east
heretofore all this business has been
transferred through the local office of
that aSSociati ton.
In the future these firms will present
their billings to the different railroad
companies individually. Should the
roads refuse to transact the business
thus offered them, the unla WITNESS of
the organization of the western freight
association may be brought to the at
tent1on of the federal courts
