Men and Women Sitting at Tables Are

C. H. Ward, Who Felt Unusually

c. H. Ward undertook to establish
his claim 10 personal liberty yesterday
afternoon in the Palace cafe, Second

yocates of this kind of freedom forgot
that any one was entitled to rights but
himself.
He had presumably INDUCED in more
liquid refreshments than were good for
him, and decided that a little excite
ment was needed in the place to make
things wholly enjoyable.
The first man he saw was the one he
chose to convince that he was free
born citizen OF the United States, and
he made a dash for him that made the
well known graphing of the Terrible
Turk" fade into oblivion. Without any
apology he left his victim sprawling
on the floor wondering anNiouSly IL he
had 'cm again" and jumped for the
next man he saw.
Again he came off with lying laurelS
of victory. aud becoming more imbued
with the spirit of the occasion swept
over the entire crowd of people sitting
at tables and sent men and women

tables and chairs. and paused to sur

considered genuine personal liberty

Recent Vigorous Decisions Under the
Hepburn Act Put New Phase
on the Traffic Situation.
News Of the Rail

Leading passenger officials of NUM-
her OF western railroads have gone to
Washington to confer with the inter
state commerce commission on q NUM-
Der Of subjects.
In years past many passenger olh-
cials have entertained the idea that
the interstate commerce law did not
apply To them, or the traffic Of which
they had charge. Several vigorous de-
cisions by the commission since the
new law was enacted have awakened
the passenger officials to change IN
conditions.
one ruling, to the effect that the rail-
roads could not discriminate in rates IN
favor of theatrical companies, was SIM
ply ignored by one Of the roads until
a. competitor notified the Commission
which ordered the offending road to
withdraw the special rate It had OF
fered a theatrical party. The western
passenger officials will try to convince
the commission that its ruling on party
rates was wrong.
Another question worrying the rail-
roads is whether they may lawfully
give free transportation to land and
immigration agents, as has been the
custom of roads anxious TO get set
tiers along their lines. The commission
recently gave an opinion that passes
could only be given to regular salaried
railway employees engaged in immigra-
tion work, not to real estate agents and
promoters of colonization schemes.

TELLS OF MOCK MARRIAGE
Mother by Habeas Corpus Hopes to
Regain Possession of Her

A remarkable story of alleged de-
ception was told yesterday in depart
ment one of the superior court when
Mrs Irene Waters appeared before
Judge James and on habeas corpus
proceedings asked that she be granted
the custody of her 11-year-old son,
Howell F. Waters
Mrs. Waters alleged that twelve
years ago she married Oscar Waters
or thought she did. She accuses him
of having fooled her by a mock mar
riage and of having been married at
that time. A year later the little boy
was born and soon after came the
quarrel, the exposure and the separa-
tion.
Recently, according to the woman's
allegations, Waters secured possession
of the boy and has since kept him away
from her.
Yesterday Judge James turned the
bright appearing little fellow over to
the custody of the sheriff and he will
be properly cared for until Friday,
when he will again be taken into court
and the question of custody settled for
all time.
Following the preliminary hearing of
the case yesterday Waters approached
his wife, and, according to the state
ments of those near him, attempted
a reconciliation, to which Mrs. Waters
refused to listen.

Within twenty minutes after the be-
ginning of the trial of the case of w. r.

trial during the morning session. At
noon they left the court room with the
other jurors and later returned to the
afternoon session. Suddenly just as
Attorney Britt was examining one Of
the witnesses Juror Durell fell forward
in his seat in the jury box. The bailiff
hurried to assist him, and the sick man
was carried to the judges apartments,
where he partly revived, and he was
then sent home i'm carriage. The trial
was then resumed after attorneys rep
rcsenting both contending sides had
agreed to conduct the trial with eleven
jurors rather than submit to the delay
of new panel, The case was resumed
and panic nearly resulted in court q
moment later when Prindle, another
juror, fell forward i'm faint.
He also was escorted from the room

THROWS CHILD
TO SAVE LIFE
FATHER HURLS LITTLE ONE
FROM WAGON
Maddened Horses overturn Vehicle
and Seriously lniure Man,
Whose Goodness Pre-
vented Death

During a wild runaway of his team
along North Date avenue yesterday
afternoon G.. Turnetti, on Italian gro
GER driving his own delivery wagon,
took desperate chance of saving the
life of his 4year-old boy, Antonio Tur-
netti, who was on the seat with him.
While the wagon was skidding and
swerving fearfully with the terrible
speed 1t was being drawn by the fren-
zied horses, every moment threatening
to overturn or dash against a pole or
curbing, the frightened father chose a
wide grass plot between the street walk
and curb and tossed the boy upon it
as lightly as a ball. The little fellow
was unhurt and ran off to his home.
Hardly breath of wonder had been
drawn by the excited spectators of the
fathers tact before the wagon was
overturned and the driver was thrown
violently beneath the heavy box of the
vehicle.
When picked up his right leg was
bleeding freely near the ankle and he
tainted from the intense suffering
caused by his injury. At the receiving
hospital, where he was hurried in
police ambulance, it was found that he
had sustained a compound fracture of
the leg and the bone protruded from
the flesh for several inches.
Turnetti said his horses had become
frightened when a dog-catcher ran into
the street to capture a dog and they
broke into II furious gallop.
The horses were caught some dis
tance from the scene of the accident.

swamped With Questions
IN Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-Learnedly
as congress discussed the new railroad
rate law it used language in the statute
capable of so many different interpre-
tations that the interstate commerce
commission is almost swamped by the
deluge of questions pouring in upon it
daily.
1t has become evident the commits
sion and the courts will make govern
ment regulation of railroad rates a
failure or a success, and if it be the
former members of the commission
fear the remedy the people probably
will try will be that of government
ownership of transportation facilities
which William J. Bryan advocated in
his New York speech and which was
partly responsible for Democratic de-
feat in the last campaign.
Because government economists are
firmly convinced that government
ownership will retard rather than as
sist the progress of the country they
are impressing, upon the commission
the necessity of wise Interpretation of
various provisions of the railroad rate
law.
The law presents so many new phases
of the transportation problem, creating
practically revolution in carriage
business that the commission feels it
must go slow and be sure of its ground
before rendering decisions.
The commission is giving the various
questions which have arisen its most
careful consideration, but there is no
doubt the carriers will appeal the most
important to the courts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The large orders

Added to the recently announced Or
ders by the Hartman lines, aggregat-
ing $21,560,000, and by the Rock Island,
amounting to $6,O0OOO0, this makes SOL
3S,000 in orders which six western sys-
TENS have placed practically all of them

Other roads are making purchases
on similarly large scale, which they
