of "Unbecoming Conduct .
[By Telegraph to The tribune. ]


Chicago. Dec 26.-Judge Arthur H Chetlain.
of the Superior Court has been found guilty Of
conduct unbecoming judge by the Chicago
Bar Associations Investigating committee. which
made public it's report to-day. The report is
based on the judges connection with sO-called
wild cat" investment companies, in which the
use OF his name was made to carry great weight
with investors. 1t is charged. The committee
stated that on the basis Of the evidence pre-
sented the Judge guilty. not of corruption,
but OF improprieties indicating 'an utter failure
his part to appreciate the responsibility and
dignity of the judicial office" These impro-
prteties. the report declares. deserving of
criticism and worthy OF censure."
The verdict OF unbecoming conduct is Consid-
cred the strongest hint the lawyers organization
could give to the Judge that he ought to resign.
Whether Judge Chetlain will resign is matter
of speculation. While he declined last night TO
make a statement, his attorneys, John s. Miller
and J. NJ Sheed, declared there was nothing in
the findings to justify his resignation. 1t is as
sumed the Judge will follow the advice of mis-

Washington, Dec. 26.-Secretary Taft has re-
ceived advices from Governor Magoon at Ha-
vana indicating that a more or less unsettled
condition OF affairs exists in certain parts Of
Cuba. and that In Santa Clara province some
lawless bands are piIlaging. Therefore. at the
Governors instance. General Bell has ordered
a considerable reinforcement Of the garrison Of
American troops in that province For the first
time since the second occupation OF the island
by the Americans 1t has become necessary for
the troops to undertake the suppression of these
disorders. instead OF leaving this task to the
native Cuban rural guards. In some quarters
this is regarded an Indication of the inability
of the Cuban civil authorities TO maintain per-
manent peace in the island. General Bell. IN
company with General Wint, who will succeed
him January / In command OF the Amer
ican troops in Cuba. Is now making a tour Of

day that a Havana newspaper yesterday printed

trigufng TO obtain control in Cuba. Governor
Magoon rtdiculed the story. and Secretary Taft

TARE IN BEETs.

This Vexed Question Beginning to
Settle Itself.
Having grown a crop Of beets and
delivered them to the factory, the next
concern of the grower is weights and
measures. Two methods are in use in
this country in making payments for
beets. One is called the fiat price, by
which is meant so much a ton regard
less of sugar content. The other is so
sugar and purity and a specified
amount for each additional per cent
This is called the sliding scale. Owing
to the adoption of the latter method
at most of our Colorado factories the
price of the beets varies from 81 to
$3.50 a ton. In some states bounties
are offered on the production of beets
and sugar. Some years ago this boun-
ty was divided between the farmer and
factory, and at other times the factory
was given so much for each pound of
sugar produced, provided 1t paid the
farmer a stipulated sum for beets, but
this bounty has been declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court, and II
is now out Of style.
When the beets arrive at the factory
a sample lot from each wagon load or
carload is taken by the factory, weigh.
ed, washed and rendered free from ex-
traneous matter. The clean beets are
then reweighed, and the amount of
refuse and dirt in the sample lot is
determined. From this Is derived the
per cent of tare or waste. This method
is continued throughout the delivery of
beets from a particular source or is
continued long enough to determine
the average per cent of tare running
through each batch of beets.
Beets from locality where the soil
is wet and sticky will not be so clean
as those from dry, sandy land. We
have noticed, however, that in districts
with long experience the farmers are
learning considerable about the condi
tions that affect tare and are able to
give considerably closer estimates on
a wagon load Of beets than at the be-
ginning, and the tare question is grad.

Dry Corn Fodder In siIO.

Corn fodder cut dry and put into a
slip will not, as a rule, come out in
good condition unless wet as it is put
in. The reason for its failure to keep
is that owing to its dryness it does not
pack well. So much air is carried into

Freaks in Animal World.

Unlike most animals horses
have no eyebrows and hares are
minus eyelids, says the Dundee
Advertiser. Consequently the
eyes of the latter can not be shut
and a thin membraneous SUBJ
stance covers them when asleep.
The eyes Of the owl are also very
peculiar, seeing that it is inn
movably fixed in its socket and
cannot stir in any direction. To
compensate for this seeming dis
advantage it can turn its head
almost completely around with
out moving it's body.
If you were to keep a frogs
mouth open many minutes it
would soon die, as owing to it's
peculiar construction it can only
breathe with its mouth closed.
On the other hand, fishes are
compelled to keep openining and
closing their mouths in order to
give their respiratory organs full
play.
A curious fact about the eel is
that it has less life in it's head
than its tail; consequently when
killing an eel the fisherman
smashes it's tail. It also has two
hearts. Snakes usually have their
teeth in their head, but one
variety of Africa, whose princi-
pal food is eggs, is provided with
a substitute of them in it's stom-
ach.

Railroad Wreck
Near Garfield
Passenger Train Strikes Freight
Engine at Open Switch and
Both Engineers are Instantly
Killed.

The STANDARDIZATION pass
enger train ran into an open
switch and collided. with a
freight engine near Garfield
Wednesday morning while
travelling at a speed of 20 miles
an hour. Both engines were
demolished and the two engin-
eers, Thomas Brant and Thomas
Richert, were instantly killed.
The freight had just backed in
on the spur track and did not
have time to throw the switch
before the passenger train struck
them. Engineer Brant, of the
passenger, was a man about 45
years of age and had been run
ming on that line for several
years. He leaves a wife and
two children at Spokane.
Engineer Bichert was a single
man about 30 years old and the
sole support of a widowed moth
er and sister living in Spokane.
He was known to be careful and
a competent engineer. The body
of Engineer Brant was crushed
under his engine and was not re-
moved for several hours. The
wreck delayed the train A hours.
Owing to Engineer Brant throw
ing the emergency brake when
his train struck the switch the
shock was much lighter and none
of the passengers were injured
in the least. Had the coaches
been derailed at that point the
loss of life would have been Sc
we're as the grade was quite
heavy.

Do Not Knock.

All the world knocks a knock
er. Our advise is: Don't even
knock a knocker; don't listen to
him. Where there is no ear,
there is no sound. The knocker
will not knock long where no
appreciation is shown. Knock
not, lest we be knocked. We
can find something to knock in
every one, and every one can
find something to knock in us.
Be charitable to others and you
will show the truest charity to-
ward yourself. Knocking is a
sign of envy. The knocker en-
vies his stronger brother, so he
takes out his little hammer and
futilely, but non the lest irraitat-
ingly, taps him. Knocking is a
habit. Break it. Don't lose
your friends because you have
the knocking habit. Don't lose
your individuality by joining the
hopeless, dyspeptic ranks of self
confessed failures, the Chronic
Knockers. The wise man has no
use for a hammer. Throw yours
away, and you will gain friends
and happiness.
