Once in a while something new and

of criminology something to ponder

character lave been before the courts
OF this country, cases where persons
have been known to commit murder

semi-conscious condition between
sleeping and waking. OF course
these casea are usually fun OF the
most perplexing difficulties. If It is
proved plainly and beyond doubt that

RAILROAD NOTES.

The Santa Fe yesterday lifted the en-
barge against grain billed for Kansas CITY.
The embargo has been in effect for
about a month, and during that time no
grain had been shipped to Kansas City
on the Santa Fe, except such as was
billed through the other points. The
cause of the embargo are not fully re-
lieved. but the Santa Fe officials think
there has been enough relief to warrant
the present action.
In his annual report, President w H.
McDoel, OF the Monon says the company
has prospered during the last year, espe-
cially in the volume of freight handled.
Since the inauguration of the per diem
system of payments for freight car SerV-
ice the earnings on cars have increased
from $39 461.32 to sos, 495. This is taken
as an indication that the contention be-
ing made in certain quarters in favor of
the per diem system of payments is cor
rect in the main.
1t is reported from New York that
President Ramsey of the Wabash has
denied that that system is seeking an

saying that if suitable dock property can
be obtained the Ann Arbor ferries may

Beehler became imbued with the Ger
man ideas while he was at Berlin. and
when he was sent to the Asiatic fleet to
command the Monterey he could not rest
until he had provided his craft with a
skeleton model. He hired Chinese car
penters and for two months they toiled
fashioning a model of the Monterey to
scale of quarter inch to the foot. The
model can be taken apart, and the men
serving on the Monterey can look under
the boilers at any time instead of having
to wait until the fires are drawn. This
fact alone has saved more than the cost
of the model.
By means of the toy ship the warrant
machinists were able to decide that a new
set of boilers of a different type could be
put in. Otherwise the question would
have had to be referred to the bureau of
steam engineering in this city, and a
month would have been lost. The model
has been found to be of invaluable bene-
tit in training the men for collision and
hre emergencies. The Chinese carpenters
charged only $110 for the work.-Chicago

RAILROAD BUILDS
NEW STATE HOUSE
Payment of Back Taxes En-
abIes Mississippi to Erect
Fine Capitol.

Snecial to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Stuyvesant
Fish, president of the Illinois Central
and Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail-
roads, points with considerable pride
to the fact that it was with the money
paid by the latter system to the state
of Mississippi for back taxes that the
new capitol building was erected at
Jackson, Miss.
In his annual report to the stock
holders of the ZaZoo Valley system,
President Fish accounts for the enor-
nous expenditures of the company
during the last year by explaining that
81, $50, 1864 was paid out in order to
satisfy the demands of the state Off
Gals for back taxes. The fact that the
money was paid only after protracted
legal battle does not lessen the salts
faction felt by the officials of the road
when they gaze on the new state cap
itol and figure on the number of pas
Sengers and tons of freight that were
carried in order to realize the amount
expended in providing commodious Of
fees for the transaction of state bust
ness.
In the twenty second annual report
of the Yazoo & Mississippi road, which
is an allied property of the Illinois Cen
trail, the financial statement shows
decided increase in business and earn
ings, and the eXpenditure aside from
the sum paid out for back taxes, were
for substantial improvements and ex-
tensions.
The question of these back taxes has
been in the courts for some time, and it
was not until recently that the matter
was decided finally in favor of the
state. 1t appears that the charters of
the original railroad companies which
were merged into the Yazoo and Mis-
Sissippi Valley company, granted the
corporation exemption from taxation
for state purposes. In after years,
when the consolidated company was
organized, representing a purchase of
the properties by the Illinois Central
railroad, the state authorities of Mis-
sissippi made claim against the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley road for taxes due
the state. In the litigation which fol-
lowed the state was successful, and the
railroad company was ordered to pay
the amount mentioned. This was done
promptly, and work on the new capitol
was commenced without delay.
The annual report, which was made
public yesterday, shows gross earnings
of over 100000 during the last year,
and also shows that since June 80,
1900, $4,S33,S14 was spent in the inn
provement and extension of the system
The sum was provided for by a bond
issue. The company operated 1852
miles of road, which is 67 miles more
than last year.

AS to the kind Of notes which singing

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 10
Chairman Salen, of the Democratic
state executive committee, today re-
ceived a telegram from John II. Clark,
Democratic senatorial candidate, ask
ing Mr.. Salem to issue a formal chal-
lenge to Senator Hanna to meet Mr..
Clark in joint debate on the issues of
the campaign. During a speech at
Norfolk, Ohio, yesterday, Mr.. Clark
expressed a willingness to meet Sena-
tor Hanna in debate, but Senator Han
ma and Chairman Dick refused to en-
terrain such a challenge. Mr.. Salem
this afternoon mailed the following let
ter to Chairman Dick at Akron, Ohio:
"On behalf of John H. Clark, Demo-
cratic candidate for United States sem
ator from Ohio, 1 formally challenge
Senator M. A. Hanna to a series of
joint debates with Mr. Clark at such
places and times as Mr.. Hanna may
select, with the one proviso that the
debates are to take place in counties
and senatorial districts which are con-
sidered doubtful politically, each party
to the debate to have the privilege of
such questions as he may consider as
being issues in this campaign"
