Verdict in Illinois Deaths.

FREEPORT III, June 1.-THE coroner's
verdict rendered today in the case OF To-
year old Media Pyle, whose body, with that
Of Mrs. John Young, was found in the
Pecatonica river. conflicts with the theory
OF a double suicide and implies that Media
Pyle was murdered. The verdict is that
Media Pyle was rendered unconscious by
unknown parties and came TO her death by
being forced into the river. Death by
drowning is the verdict in regard TO MrA
Young.

PETITION DISMISSED
REVIEW OF LIEUT.. REAVES' CASE
DENIED BY COURT.

The petition of Winslow Hart Reaves,
second lieutenant United States artillery,
who filed suit in the District Supreme Court
against Maj. Gen. Fred C. Ainsworth. mill
tary secretary, for review Of the proceed
ings of a military board of examiners, has
been dismissed by Chief Justice Clabaugh
Gen. Ainsworth was represented ct the
hearing by United States District Attorney
Namara, while the interests of Lieut.
Reaves were looked after by Col. Alexan-
der s. Bacon of the New York bar, who is
also of counsel for William Randolph Hearst
In the mayora1ty contest in New York.
Lieut. Reaves claimed that the board OF
examiners, convened by special order of the
Secretary of War at Fort Monroe, Va, in
May last for the examination OF officers for
promotion, should have recommended him
for retirement with the grade of. first lieu
tenant Two reports were made by the
board. In; the first the lieutenant was de-
clared physically disqualified as result Of
servics. and the later one held him physical
" qualified. but professionally disqualified.
the lieutenant's counsel contended and
should be set aside and retirement ordered
under the initial finding.
Gen. Ainsworth. In his reply. raised the
point that he was not the legal custodian
of the records sought to be reviewed. but
that the Secretary of War was in charge
of them and proceedings should have been
against the cabinet officer. The mere ex-
animation of the applicant. Gen. Aims
worths counsel contended was Bat
enough. it being merely inchoate until ap-
proved by the President, whose approval
was not secured in this case.
Col. Bacon declared his intention of ap-
pealing to the District Court of Appeals
the United States in behalf Of Lieut..
Reaves.

up on the principle established by our fore
fathers, that the government should be as
limited in its functions as possible and that
the largest scope should be given to the in
dividual man to work. out his own fortune
here and his salvation hereafter.
Let us beware" he said, "how we depart
from these principles. / say this not be-
cause the sphere of governmental action
has been inevitably enlarged by the growth
and development of the country, but be-
cause it is seriously proposed to extend the
sphere of governmental action In state, in
nation and in town in ways which are not
all inevitable, but which are advocated
openly for the purpose of destroying our old
system of restricted government Joined to
large individual liberty and replacing 1t with
another and totally different arrangement
1.-The breakdown of the Russian system
under modern economic circumstances is
going on before our eyes today. The move
ments for larger government action here
lead toward the system of Russia and away
from the pr1nclple upon WHICH we nave puiit
up the United States
''The socialist would have the government
everything; the anarchist would destroy all
government.
Somewhere between these extremes lies
the path of safety.
1.-The belief that great combinations; of
capital should not and cannot be allowed to
operate unchecked and unmatched is not
only natural, but sound and right. But
there is a wide distinction between govern
nent supervision and regulation Of these
enormous agencies for the conduct of busi-
ness and government ownership and opera
tion of such agencies. The one Is neces-
sity in the public interest developed by mod
ern conditions. the other Is a revolution in
our entire theory and practice of govern
ment Government ownership of the rail-
roads of this country, to take but a single
instance, would mean In its fulfHment the
destruction of the institutions we have
known and loved and under which our lib-
critics have been won and preserved. We
should have an oligarchy composed of few
office holders, a despot at their head and all
below on one sordid level"
