President Roosevelt Converted
10 the NcV.Sty|c Spelling
List OF 800 Words That Hereafter in All Messages and
Documents From the White House viii Be Printed
According to the Recommendation OF
the Matthews Committee.

President Roosevelt announced his
conversion to the spelling reform
movement. He has issued orders to
Public Printer Stillings that all mess
ages from the President and all other
documents coming from the White
House shall be printed in accordance
with the recommendation of the
spelling reform committee headed by
Professor Brander Matthews, Of Col
umbia, and backed by Andrew Car
negie.
Spelling reform had it's greatest
impetus when Andrew Carnegie
made an offer to finance it. For
many years professors and others
have been laboring to have the public
accept reforms in the spelling of GER
tain words. The public, while admit
ting that the existing spelling is a
pathological monstrosity, refused to
take kindly to the suggested changes.
f.. When Andrew Carnegie announced
himself as q convert to the reform
the matter was discussed more than
at any time within the past 100 years.
Mark Twain promised to take 1t up
after Mr.. Carnegie had announced
his conversion and had agreed to
finance the organization Of reformers
calling themselves the Simplified
Spelling Board, Of which Brander
Matthews is the president Of the Ex-
ecutive Board.
This board announced at the be-
4 ginning that it did not propose any
radical or revolutionary scheme OF
reform, but simply wanted to make
easy the spelling of certain words. 1t
selected 800 words which it asked
the public to accept.
Following is the list Of 800 words
already given out by the Simplifed
Spelling Board in which changes are

TRIAL or THE CENTRAL BEGINS
Counsel Began by Attacking COnstItu-
tiOnalIty OF the EIkinS Law.


The New York Central Railroad Com
pany and it's general traffic manager, Fred
erick L.. Pomeroy. were placed on trial in
the United States Circuit court, Criminal
Branch, yesterday on a charge of having
granted unlawful rebates to the American
Sugar Refining Company on west bound
sugars.
John D. Lindsay, Austen G. Fox and
Albert H. Harris appeared for the rail-
road company and it's officers. After
Judge Holt had overruled Mr.. Lindsay's
objection and decided that the defendants
should be tried together, along with Nathan
l.. Guilford, vice-president Of the road,
Jointly indicted with them, Mr.. Lindsay
announced that all the trials would there
fore have to be postponed. as Mr.. Guilford
was i'll. Judge Holt ruled that the trial
OF Guilford would be postponed and that
OF the company and Pomeroy proceed
at once.
The next move OF the railroad attorneys
wa a motion that the indictment be
dismissed or the ground that the Elkins
law was unconstitutional. Judge Holt
said that there. would be time to argue
that at length later.
The jury was chosen without much DIM

tory articles against the road in the Nep
York American and journal" The prose-
cution decided that one man, although
a commuter on the Central, was still able
TO give a clear and nbiase Judgment
TO the trial. Clerk Charles A. Van Hagen
then read the completed jury list as follows:
Edmund 20 Taylor, insurance, 10 Cedar street;
Charles y. Newall. secretary, 80 Union square East;

president, y Warren street, and John J. Fish
builder. 50 Beck street, the Bronx.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the arguments OF the learned law en- for
the defendants. Austen q. Fox argued
for the unconstitutionality Of the Elkins
law at great length. His principal con-
tentions were that a corporation and it's
! employee could not be jointly indicted
| under legal p~recedents, thai the indictment
alleged an element Of criminal intent on
the purt Of a corporation. which was a
physical impossibiIty, and that the criminal
law had no application except to natural
persons.
Judge Holt apparently thought Mr.. FoK's
Arguments not worth listening to. as he
! instructed tho United States District Attor-
ney, Henry l.. Stimson, that Il would not
be necessary for him TO reply a. he had
already decided 10 sustain the indictment.
He further announced that she trial would
J begin IN earnest ct 1910 this morning.

badly injured.

such procedure is irregular, but If IL Is
agreeable to you it is to me- replied Justice
Herman Joseph.
A panel Of six was selected. 1t was
necessary to press into service Miss Martha
Cohen, a woman practitioner.
After the evidence had been submitted
Justice Joseph made a short address to
the Jury. He said:

WASHINGTON. Oct. I5.-The Supreme
Court to-day denied the petition Of former
Senator Joseph Ralph Burton Of Kansas
for a rehearing Of the decision Of the court
affirming his conviction for taking fees for
practising before the Post ONCE Depart
ment while Senator.
Burton's case has twice been before the
Supreme Court, which reversed his convio-
ton on the first trial. The second time
he was found guilty Of accepting retainers
from the kialtoGrain and ProvisionC Company
Of st, Louis, and he was sentenced to @ years
imprisonment and to pay a foe Of 50 800.
This was affirmed by the Supreme Cour by
a divided bench. With the denial Of the
petitiou the sentence becomes effective.
Burton resigned from the Senate after his
second conviction.
senator Burton will begin his term Of six
months service in the Iron county Jail at
Ironton, Mo, in q few days. The last ave-
nue. OF escape closed to him to-day when
the Supreme Court denied a Tehearing. He
has said all along that he would not ask for
a pardon or Communication. A letter re-
ceived from him by one Of his Washington
friends a week OF two & indicated that
Burton had no hope that the court would
grant a rehearinR He said tina he and his

would 70 through his Jail sentence cheer

he would 60 about trying to make a living
in his profession.
Attorney-General Moody will in a short
time, probably a day ortwo, askthe Supreme
Court to direct the mandate to issue to the
lower court directing that the sentence Of
that court be executed. The Attorney
General will forward the mandate to Col.
DYER, United States Attorney for the east
EN- district Of Missouri, at 81. Louis. On
receiving the mandate the Court will direct
the marshal to take Burton into custody.

RULINGS UNDER THE RATE Law.
Interstate Commerce CSmmIsNiOn settles
Many Disputed POints.

Many ntepuCeu FWAmtN.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IS.--The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day issued sew
erAl rulings under the new rate Law which
are intended to settle many disputed points
in regard to the construction Of the law.
The most important IL az follows:
"A contract. agreement or arrangement
between common carriers governing the
division between them Of Joint rates ON
Interstate business 10 q contract, agreement
or arrangement in relation to tranio within
the meaning OF Section 0 OF the act to
regulate commerce, and q copy thereof
must be filed with the commission. Where
such contract IL verbal or the development
Of custom q memorandum OF It's terms
must be fled"
In regard to notice Of changes In rates
the commission has amended its former
ruling to read a. follows:
"Where a joint rate Ia in affect by a given
route which IL higher between any points
than the sum Of the locals between the
same points by the same or another route
such higher Joint rate may until Deoem-
Der 81, 1908, be changed by reducing the
same to the sum Of such locals, but not
otherwise, upon posting one day in adj
vance a tariff OF such reduced rate and
mailing a copy thereof 10 the commission.
INC IOiIOWllk HA0lttOAhuL LcAlA6 AA@o OCOh
made with respect to round try excursion
rates:
Rates for a series Of daily excursions
under either of the above provisions, such
series covering a period not exceeding
thirty days, may be established upon notice
Of three days az to the entire series and
separate notice Of the excursion on each day
covered by the series need not be given
The commission has also ruled that round
trip tickets may be issued at reduced rates
and their use be confined to the delegates
to a particular convention or to the member
Of any particular convention or association
or society, under the condition that such
tickets shall be presented for valuation
for return trip by the road.
To settle many doubts among passenger
agents az to the definition Of the term rail-
road employee" the commission ruled that
free transportation oan only be granted to
persons actually in the service 81 the rail-
road and who devote substantially all their
time to the work Of the carrier. Therefore,
the commission rules. and n immigra:
ton agents, unless they are bona d and
actual employees, representatives OF schools,
agents Of accident or life insurance COM
panies, agents Of oil or lubricating COM
panies, &c., are not within the classes to
which free or reduced transportation can
be lawfully furnished. The provision grant
ing free or reduced transportation TO min
listers Of religion or officers OF the Govern
ment or the army or the navy does not
extend to their families.
