KANSAS LAW Good,
The Antitrust Statutes Upheld BY
Supreme Court.
The COAL OPERATOR MUST TESTIFY
Justice PecIham Holds That Wit
ness Rights Are Fully Protect
and Federal Aid Cannot BE
Invoked.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-In the case
Of John d. Jack against the state OF
Kansas the supreme court OF the
United States held Monday that the
federal constitution and the federal
laws cannot be invoked to relieve .
witness from testlfying before state
court in a proceeding involving the
antitrust laws of the state. thus az
firming the decision Of the state SUI
preme court. Justice Peckham deliv-
cred the opinion.
This case was brought to the SUI
preme court by Jack. who was found
guilty of contempt Of court for refus-
ing to testify before the state district
court of Shawnee county In a proceed
ing under the state antitrust law
against the coal operators Of that
county on the charge Of entering into
a combination to fix the price OF COAL
Jack Is the owner Of coal mine and
his refusal to give testimony was
based on the ground that to 90 SO
would have a tendency to incriminate
him, The court ordered that he
should be imprisoned until willing to
answer. Jack contended that the
state law is unconstitutional in that
II deprives him of liberty, takes prop
erty without due process Of law and
denies equal protection under law.
Justice Peckham said: HE con-
tends that the immunity granted by
the state statute, while enforcing the
giving of testimony which may In
criminate the party Intercepted as o
violator Of that statute, is not and
could not be broad enough to provide
immunity from prosecution under the
federal antitrust statute. The state
could not, Of course, prevent q prose-
cution of the same party under the
United States statute, and 1t could not
prevent the testimony given by the
party in the state proceeding from be-
ing used. against the same person In
federal court for violation OF fed
eral statute. If 1t could be imagined
that such prosecutions would be in
stituted under such circumstances. Is
this fact fatal to the proceeding? We
think not.
I'VE do not believe that in such
case there Is any real danger Of
federal prosecution, or that such EVIL
dence would be awaited Of by the gov
eminent for such purpose. We think
there Is legal immunity in regard to
prosecution in tho same jurisdiction
and when that is fully given 1t Is
enough"

WEALTHY MEN OF COLORADO.


Colorado Is the state of vast individual
fortunes, outranking any other. state in
the union on a per capita basis. 1t has
the further distinction that most of it's
vast fortunes were made within Its
boundaries, not alone in mining, but in
the cattle industry, in realty speculation
in fruit, sugar beet culture, potato-farm-
ing and in manufacturing and other mer~
camille pursuits.
Many people Of wealth have moved into
the state in the last few years and In
vested large sums in mining corporations,
in the stocks Of banks and other enter
prises, and are not individually known
to the commercial agencies. Still an
other class represents the. retired country
capitalist, who has moved from the Sec
ton in which his wealth was acquired to
Denver, or Colorado Springs. His indi-
vidual holdings. too, unless they are in
realty, are necessarily hidden from the
regular commercial information sources.
Who Is the richest man in Colorado?
David Mofrat, capitalist, of Denver. The
most conservative estimate Of 81, 0O0, 900
was given by two persons who would
naturally be expected to exaggerate M.

IDEAS THAT DRAW CUSTOM.
PrOprfetors of European Cafes Show
Enterprise.

PrOprfetOrs of European Cafes snow
Enterprise.
In many Of the European cafes of
the cheaper order it is the invariable
custom to print the daily menu on
the napkin provided for the guest, so
that when the latter desires to study
the bill of fare he has to raise his
serviette from his knee in order to
do so.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
custom in connection with restaurant
life is that which obtains in a certain
little cafe in the suburbs of Paris,
where every customer whose bill
amounts to Is cents or over is enti-
tied to receive a kiss from the very
attractive young lady who acts as
cashier to the establishment.
So used has the damsel become to
the osculatory routine that she goes
through 1t without the slightest reti-
cence, looking upon it purely as a
matter of business, and it Is reported
that the proprietor of the restaurant
is more than satisfied with the result
of his curious device for attracting
patrons.
Another enterprising restauranteur
has instituted the practice Of making
a present of a box of Havana cigars
every New Years day to those pa
irons who have been pretty regular
in their attendance at his establish
ment during the preceding year.

MANKIND Has COLD BLOOD.

Comparative Low Temperature Il to
Blame for Most Human Ailments.
From the New York Globe:
Man is the coolest blooded animal
there is. and I guess the people who
profit by 1T most at this time of the
year are the saloon-keepers, the fur
riers, the drug stores and-we doc
tors" remarked DR.. E. J. Neville, of
Albany, who came here to attend a
meeting Of the New York State Med
ical association. The doctor, who was
sitting in the hall Of the Victoria, was
led to make the above remark through
the appearance of a man passing garb-
ed In heavy black bearskin overcoat.
MANS low temperature" the doc
tor went on, lis responsible for more
than half his ailments. Your normal
temperature is 98h degrees Fahren-
heit. 1t us only when you have bad
temperature that you get as warm as
any of the lower animals. That Is to
say when you are in a high fever
with temperature of 102 you are at
the normal heat Of the cat, the dog,
the OK, the rat and so on. In the cold
est of seas the porpoise is never cooler
than 100 degrees. The bat, the rabbit
the guinea pig, the hare and the ele-
plant likewise are all cool at 100 de-
grees.
THE hen has tho highest tempera-
ture Of all the lower creatures and it
is good deal warmer, too, when a
chicken. Its temperature then is as
high as Ill, but age and experience
cool her blood by three degrees"

MOST MEN WRITE

An observant student Of daily his
tory as recorded in the newspapers
takes now kindlier view Of errors in
newspaper English than before the
recent excitement concerning the vice
crusade had arisen. Il have heard all
sorts of excuses about the occasional
bad English one sees in newspapers.
the hurry with which it is written, and
that kind of thing" he says; but
never bave the arguments much
thought until I read the correspond
ence brought forth from men not hur-
ried and of undoubted education, by
the recent discussion. Some of the
notes which have thus passed have
been practically unintelligible in just
these spots where clear and am
biguous meaning was most vital to the
point involved. These epistles must
certainly have been studied by their
writers-at least there must have been
time for such study-but they read as
though they were dashed off in mo-
ment. In addition to actual errors,
some Of them fail utterly to establish
their arguments because of the un-
forceful way in which they are ex-
pressed"

ALL HORSES HATE cAMELs.

Smoking clay pipe the circus ac-
tor sat in the winter training quarters.
Under his supervision a thin boy was
learning to ride erect on a quiet horse
with a broad fiat back says the Phil
adelphia Bulletin.
I'm some towns they won't let us
show" said the man, unless we have
no camels with us. Camels are SER
ious drawback to shows. Horses are
SO much afraid Of them that lots Of
towns won't let a camel enter their
gates.
"A horse won't go near a piece of
ground a camel has stood on. The
very smell of a camel In the air will
make a horse trernble and sweat. And
this fear isn't found only occasionally
in horse here and there. 1t is found
in every horse all over the world.
Queer, isn't it? I often wonder why
it is. Cattle hate dogs in the same
way and cats hate dogs, too. Here.
though: we can account for the hat
red; Dogs in primitive times fed ION
cattle, no doubt, and even today, here
and there they kill and feed on kit
tens.
Horses love dogs. I'm sure don't
know why. Dogs fear no animals but
pumas and leopards. You can take. a
dog up to a lions or tigers cage and
he will show no fear, but take him up
to the cage of puma or leopard and
he will tremble and moan and stink
away out Of sight.

Thought He Knew How to Keep an
Umbrella, But 1t Got Away.
Into the Jersey City station Of the
Pennsylvania railroad sauntered a
portly man. He wore a chesty look
and carried an umbrella, relates, the
New York Times. Advancing to one
Of the benches he pulled a chain and
paddock from his pocket ran one end
Of the chain through the open handle,
and made the umbrella fast to the
seat. Then he said to man sitting
there:
I've travelled all over this country
for five years and I know a thing or
two"
Then he walked away.
The man who sat there got up. He
had check suit and smooth cheek
He stepped up to the umbrella, pulled
A file from his pocket, rubbed it to
and fro across one of the links in the
chain for few minutes, locsening the
umbrella. Then he said to another
man:
IF the Teller who is smarter than
chain lightning comes back after his
parasol, tell him the chap you saw
walking off with it was never off the
farm afore."

NEEDLES LONG JOURNEY.
.Qm the New York Herald:

One OF the most peculiar cases in
the annals Of surgery is puzzling ply
sicians at Flushing. Sixteen years
ago John H. Boyer, a well-to-do baker
of that place, stepped on darning
needle. The needle was imbedded in
his left foot and caused intense pain.
In endeavoring to extract the steel
point a. surgeon broke the needle, and
a portion of it remained in the foot.
A. week ago Boyer fell upon an icy
sidewalk, injuring his side and bruis-
ing his left hand. The injured hand
commenced to swell and the baker
suffered excruciating pain. Physicians
discovered a hard substance in the CEN
ter Of the swelling and deep Incl
sion was made in the hand. The
physician then discovered a piece of a
steel needle about an inch and half
in length. Physicians agree that it Is
probable that the broken needle TAX
en- from Beyer's hand is part Of the
one Embedded In his foot sixteen years
ago.

To the statement that absolutely
nothing Is known Of the light of the
gloW-worm DR.. T. L. Phipson takes
exceptions, showing that the phos-
phorescent organs of the glow-worm
and the FREELY have been the subject
Of numerous inquiries. The source of
the light proves to be not the organs
themselves but a white unctuous SUBJ
stance known as "noctilucine," and, as
DR.. Phipson himself showed thirty
years ago that this substance is a
special product of decaying fish, it is
regarded as the probable light-giving
material in all animal and vegetable
phOsphOrescence. Luminous bacteria,
the tiny organisms that give light to
large areas of the seas surface, certain
fungi and other living forms seem to
produce noctilucine. The material has
complex composition, CLOVIS in the
dark like phosphorus, and is made
luminous by slow oxidation. Artificial
organic substances Of similar nature
are now known.
The novel and highly sensitive gal
vanometer of M. Einthoven consists Of
silvered quartz fiber stretched like
violin string between the poles Of a
powerful electromagnetic. The passage
through it Of a small current causes
the wire to be DETECTED perpendicular
to the field, and the DETECTION can be
measured directly by a microscope car
rying a micrometer scale to show the
curve. The sensitiveness can be reg
! ulated by adjusting the length Of the

The mathematical aptitude Of boys

creative imagination and reasoning
power.
The smoke consuming device lately
tested in a factory at Westminster
England, consists of a screen of tubular
fire-bricks so placed in the furnace
that all products Of combustion must
pass through the screen. The bricks
which are of special material, quickly
become incandescent. and the grea
heat ensures the thorough burning Of
all gases and combustibde material
preventing the discharge into the all
Of solid carbon particles. The exhaus
tive trials made proved that the wors
quality of coal could be used under the
factory boilers with practically NJ
smoke. When damp coal dust costing
$2.75 per ton delivered was shovelet
into the fire in quantity, light gra!
cloud appeared at the top of the chin
ney stack, but even this disappeared il

same solution of the smoke problem cal
