The quarterly report of the Promo
tion Committee was read In this
report was the statement regarding
the uneXpended balance Of $4997 40, Of
what had been raised for the recent
rebate commissions trip to Washing
ton. The impression was that this
balance was to be given to the yacht
club people.
F. M Swanzy spoke in opposition to
this measure. He did not consider
that such a sum should be given to the
race when so much better use of 1t
could be made by the committee j.
r. Gait agred with this view He
thought the sum too large.

Insane Act
Says Expert
DIR. MCDONALD GIVES OPINION
OF JOHNSON BASED UPON ABB
SENCE OF MOTIVE

IAN insane act" is what the murder
of Simeon Wharton was in the opinion
of DR.. j. T. Mcdonald as his first an
swer to the hypothetical question put
to him this afternoon by Attorney Har-
rison. Further, the doctor said that he
could see absolutely no motive for the
crime and he was therefore disposed to
have "grave doubts" as to the sanity
of the accused. fIaft9
The question was read to Mcdonald
by Harrison, with a number of objec-
tions to specific portions of Attorney
General Peters. DR.. McDonpld's imme-
diate reply was that the act was an in
sane one, because no motive whatever
could be found considering his de-
fective mentality" said the doctor Il
would have grave doubts to his sanity"
Harrison asked what would be the
effects of drink in the case of the hy-
pothetical person described Long
continued habits of drinking on the
part of a man of his mental calibre
would render him disposed to attacks
of MANIA" the doctor said. He de-
clined to give an opinion as to how long
such attacks were likely to last.
The Doctors stated that his opinion
was based largely on the facts set forth
regarding the killing of the boy. In
the hypothetical question he could see
absolutely no motive, and this led him
to doubt the subjects sanity

When the 5. 5. Siberia arrives off

local officers who will place them un-

For some reason the local authorities

A bank in Chicago failed and
closed its doors Monday, having
been looted by the president and
cashier to the tune of a million
dollars - lost in speculation.
Both of these officers fled before
the truth was known and they
are being diligently sought. The
bank had $4,000 depositors, most
of them laboring people, and the
amount of their deposits amount
ed to over four million dollars.
Upon learning of the failure one
deposition dropped dead and an
other committed suicide, while
several are insane as a result.

but with not great success, and
the War Department is now sub
stituting the method made
pupular by Mark Twain in
''Puddin Head Wilson" Briefly,
the system consists of having
every enlisted man place a print
of his right thumb and first
finger on specially prepared,
gelatine-covered slide, on the
back of which is pasted slip
giving the name, next of kin,
height and similar information,
the slides to be filed at the War
Department. While the new
process is to be put into general
effect it seems probable, however,
that it will be tried only on the
"rookies," as the recruits are
called, for a protest loud and
long has risen from the men
already enlisted against being
forced to have anything to do
with little dinky piece of glass,
as though each were probable
deserter. That the system will
be of great value there is no
doubt. Nominally, it is being
introduced in order to do away
with the unknown" soldiers
graves in the future. In the
case of corpse which cannot be
otherwise identified. it will be
only necessary to take print of
the fingers before burial, to be
compared with the original at
the War Department. AS a
matter of fact, however, the new
system will protect the govern
meut from frauds in pension
cases, since no one enlisting
under an assumed name can after
ward CT aim a penson in his own
name and hope to escape detec-
ton. Deserters, too, will find it
harder than ever to escape the
long arm of Uncle Sam, since in
the future finger-prints plates
will be supplied to all recruiting
officers.

A great hue and cry has been
raised because of the seizure of
some pamphlets by Anthony Com
stock, issued by the art society
of New York, but the public will
generally commend his action.
He says: "Wild animals are safe
enough when properly Gagged,
but turn them loose and they
must be suppressed. The same
with these nude pictures; they
must be kept where they belong"
This seems like good reasoning
and certainly will help public
morals.

RAPS MAIL ORDER BUSINESS
Governor Folk Advocates Home Mer
chants and Home Papers.

Governor Joseph w. Folk, in
addressing the retail merchants
of Missouri at their convention
in Jefferson City the other day,
spoke against the mail order
business and favored advertising
in the town papers. He said,
in part:
ave are proud of our splendid
cities, and we want them to
increase in wealth and population,
and we also want our country
towns TO grow. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but
we also desire the country mer-
chant to prosper. do not
believe in the mail order citizen.
If place is good enough for a
man to live in and to make his
money in, it is good enough for
him to spend his money.
mo merchant can succeed
without advertising in one way
or another. Patronize your
town papers, build them up, and
they will build the town up and
build you up increased trade aud
greater opportunities. Do not
be afraid that business is going
to be hurt by the recent exposures
of wrong doing in the COM
mercial world. No man who is
doing an honest business can be
injured by the light. All bust
ness will be better for the cleans.
ing process it is going through
and for the stamping out of evil. :"
