JUDGE INSTRUCTS JURY
TO FIND WOMAN SANE
Mentally I'm Judge Hebbard's
Court-Many Witnesses.

Mentally I'm Judge Hebbard's
Court-Many Witnesses.
The inquiry into the sanity of Mrs.
Isabelle M. Henry was brought to a
close yesterday morning when Judge
Hebbard instructed the jury to find
her sane. This the jurors did without
leaving the box.
Drs. Lustig and Wadsworth Of the
Insanity Commission, who examined
Mrs. Henry last week, were Of the
opinion that her case was a border
land one-that is, hard to distinguish
between sanity and insanity, and liable
to. turn either way. Drs. Fl. W. Stire-
walt and Bushnell, who attended
Violet Monnier, Mrs. Henry's daughter,
in 1901, observed Mrs. Henry at that
time and were both of the opinion that
her mind was unbalanced.
A. K. Henry, the husband, who made
the complaint, recited many of his
wife's peculiar actions. He declared
she would say things. that had no
foundation in fact. Their son, Elmer
Henry, testified that his mother, with
out cause, accused him of beating her.
A daughter, Mrs. Florence Dell who
has been in the Philippines until a
month ago, testified that her mother
should be confined in an asylum.
Mrs Emma Hilton, Mrs. Richard
son, Mrs. Emily Schultheiss and Sarah
E. Monk, witnesses for Mrs. Henry,
had been neighbors and had known
the woman for many years. They all
believed her sane.
Mrs Henry herself took the stand
and declared that her son. Elmer, had
beaten her on occasions and that their
difficulties arose over George Monnier,
her son-in-law, who is contesting his
fathers will. She said her children
sided with Monnier. Mrs. Henry S
testimony was entirely rational.

According to q Scottish ireslde
rhyme, alluded to by Sir Thomas
Brown IN his Vulgar Errors" three
days were borrowed by March from
April, with a view to the destruction
Of some sheep, but the popular fiction
Of the borrowed days is really of older
date.
In the "Complaynt Of Scotland"
printed in 1913, we find: There eftir
/ entrit in ane creme forest, to o Il
tempill the tender yong frutes. becaus
the borial blasts Of the three borouing
dais Of Marche he'd cbaissit fragrant
nureise Of evyrie frut-tree far athourt
the heldis,"
The origin and meaning Of the ex-
preston are obscure. 1t may probably
be founded upon that relapse into win
try weather which is often noticed at
the close of March and which seems
to snatch a few days from the promise
Of opening spring. A similar fancy
has prevailed in the highlands of Scot
land in connection with the first two
months Of the year.-London Answers.

dernine the value Of railroad Sc

very little claim to credulity. There
is no disposition In any Influential
quarter tc do Injustice to the hold
ers of railroad property. The wis
er sort Of railroad men aud the
more intelligent newspapers of the
country are we'll aware that the i'm
mense rapidity with which the
transportation interests of This
country have been coming under
the control of a few people is the
principal factor in the disturbance
Of confidence, and affords the chief
argument against railway amalga-
nation. Competition can no lon
ger be trusted to regulate the rail
road business, and the country will
not allow so vast a power TO 90 un-
regulated as that which will belong
to the guiding spirits in the rail
road world. Inevitably, the people
of this country will take over the
railroads and make them public
property, or else they will subject
them to constant but just and rea-
sonable oversight and control. To
take the railroads over as public
property could not be accomplish
ed without a period Of serious agi-
tation that would provoke extreme
controversy, and would certainly
unsettle values and lead to depres-
oions, if not to panics, in the mar,

ties. President Roosevelt, there
fore, points ont the way to avoid
disturbances in the value Of rail
way properties. Moderate public
oversight and control will insure
for a long period to come the pri-
vate ownership and management
Of the American railroad systems.
A stubborn resistance of such pub
lie oversight and regulation on the

itate almost at once a movement
