Viola. ID Anti-Pass Law.

bIoid~-u Anti-PaSS Law.
Des Moines.-Through the arrest of
H. F. Schultz of Storm ] re, made
defendant in the initial prosecution
under the Iowa anti-pass law, that sta
tute will be quickly put to tie test in
the supreme court.
Attorney General H. w. Byers d.
rected the prosecution of Mr.. Schultz
on a charge of accepting and using a
free pass" on the Illinois Central
railroad. This is an indictable Of
tense and the warrant was issued
from a justice Office at Storm Lake,
at abe solicitation of Assistant Attor-
ney General Cosson, representing the
state legal department.
Under advice of the attorney for
the Illinois Central railroad company,
the Hon. Thomas ID. Healy, Mr..
Schultz plea not guilty before the
magistrate pending his prelimi-
nary hearing on Oct. %, his bond
was fixed at $1,000.
Acting again on the advice of Mr..
Healy, Mr.. Schultz declined to give
bond and was placed constructively
in custody of the county. The pur-
pose of this proceeding, of course,
was to sue out writ of habeas cor
pus and test the validity of the anti
pass law, Immediately and directly, in
the supreme court of the state.
Investigation of the grounds on
which the railroad proposes to test the
law and to base it's claim that the
act is unconstitutional may require
some time. If the act is defective as
to prohibiting passes to attorneys for
services it will be invalid also, it is
supposed, as to newspaper and kin
dred contracts.
No concealment of the fact that Mr..
Schultz was using pass has ever
been attempted by him or the rail-
road. 1t has been the contention Of
the company that it had the right to
issue passes to it's local attorneys as
part consideration for their services.
The company's attorneys will attack
the law on the theory that it inter-
feres with the right of contract.
The contract between Schultz and
the company was made after the anti
pass law went into effect. Like con-
tracts are said to exist between the
company and its other local attorneys.
In this respect the Illinois Central is
said to have taken different ground
from that occupied by other railroads
within the state. They have only in
sisted on the right legally to issue in
terstate passes.
The interstate question does not
enter into the Schultz case at Storm
Lake. The pass in question is under
stood by the state legal department
to have been issued for the lines
within Iowa, just as passes formerly
were issued. The question does not
even involve the form of the pass,
whether annual, trip or other There
is the utmost simplicity in the sit
uation, for the issuance of the pass,
its acceptance, its use and the execu-
above board and without any attempt,
ton of the contract involving it's is
suance, acceptance and use have been
whatever, at concealment.

Inebriates Fear Knoxville Home.


more than half OF the patients COM
mitted to it. but in at least fifty
counties of the state the work be-
ing done at the Knoxville hospital
for inebriates is having deterrent
effect upon the persons eligible to
commitment in that institution.
- These statistics have been gathered
by Superintendent Osborn of the in
stitution, who sent out a letter re-
Gently to the clerks in the eight-nine
counties which have patients in the
hospital, making this inquiry:
''In your opinion, has the hospital
exerted deterrent influence over
those not actually committed"
Sixty-nine of the eighty-nine ccun-
ty clerks replied OF the sixty-nine,
fifty clerks answered the inquiry in
the Affirmative. But four answered
in the negative. Fifteen were silent
on the question.
Superintendent Osborn also has re-
ceived reports from these sixty-nine
county clerks of the state in regard
to the conduct of paroled and escaped
patients from those counties for the
year ending June 80, 1907, showing
that of 231 patients paroled last year
III have become total abstainers and
Ga improved. Requests for reports
were sent to eighty-nine ,cc titles hav-
ing patients in the hospital, but no
response was received from twenty.
Teachers Wages Going Up In Iowa.
Substantial increase in the wages
of Iowa teachers is shown by the re-
ports from more than sixty county
superintendent to State Superintend-
ent Riggs in response to a series of
Inquiries recently promulgated by
him.
A very large majority Of the coun.
ties report that in most of their dis
tricts the average rate of wages paid
to teachers has been advanced.
The reports of the county superin-
tendents also show that there Is not
such shortage of the supply of
teachers as the people have thought.
Probably it is larger than in former
years, but not substantially greater.

INSANITY.

IL has commonly been said that luna- cy was increasing in the modern world But Mr. Noel Humphreys in his paper read before the Statistics society pro- claims the theory that lunacy Is not in- csreasing at all. According to his in- genious statement the apparent tn- crease Is due not to the growth of lu- macy, but to the growth of the care of lunacy. 40 put the matter shortly, he holds that 1t is not so much that there are more madmen, but that there are more mad doctors.
 substantially his case appears very sound. There can be little doubt that many men are now put in asylums who would in previous ages have been all lowed to wander in the meadows or to play about the streets There can be little doubt that many men are now called Insane who in other times would merely have been called wicked; and it is possible that many are now called madmen who in other times would merely have been called saints.
 The only question is whether this sci entific harvest of all the lunatics alive is so great on improvement as 1t looks There can be no doubt that the wise men have come from all the ends of the earth to capture the village idiot. who once danced and laughed upon the green, not without having bricks thrown at him.-London Nation.

market was the relaxing tendency of money, which was little regarded in the stock market. Exceeding money rates were the rule at all the great money centers of tlIe world. Even at Berlin the discount rate receded, although the weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany gave formidable evidence of the severe strain on financial re- sources there of the April 1 settlement. 1 The showing explains the remaining Iuneasiness reported from Berlin. Re- ports from London intimated that some of the takings of gold in the London market were destined for Berlin. A feature of the situation was that part of this supply came from New York re- sources by resale in London of part of the gold engaged there yesterday for shipment to New York, the resale also resulting in a fall in the market price of gold.
 The violent rebound in sterling ex- change here made the redisposition of the gold profitable. The rapid decline l in interest rates here explains the movement of the foreign exchange The banks have gained on subtreasury op- eratlons since the last bank statement 1 SS,244, GOO. They received to-day con signments of upwards of $1,00O,OOO of the gold secured abroad last week. The interior exchange indicates also a movement of currency in favor of New York.
 While stocks were little affected by the course of the money market, the bond market begins to show a marked 1 improvement and a largely increased ] demand. This is a development re- garded with great interest, owing to its tendency to correct the waterlogged condition which has existed in the bond market for months, and to take up the congestion of many issues long unmar- ketable in the hands of syndicates and bankers.
 Prices of stocks moved downwards and recovered. Explanations for the depression were renewed selling for for | elgn account, fears of a rupture of ne- gotiatlons for the peaceful settlement of the wage controversy on western Irailroads, and the disquieting effect of the bitter tone of exchanges between the White House and the Union Pa cific executive offices. A break in the London copper market was also an in-
 duence. Atchison was prominent in the recovery after the declaration of the semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent An initial yearly dividend of f per cent. for Kansas City Southern preferred was another feature of the day. Read ling and Brooklyn Transit were specu-
 lative favorites in the late rise, which
 was attributed largely to rebuying of stocks sold short early In the day. The rally was not held and the closing tone
 was irregular.

ON HOTDTNe THE CAMERA


 One of the most important lessons for a beginner to learn is to hold the camera in the proper position during exposure. Whenever there are corners of buildings or other objects which give vertical lines, the camera must be held absolutely level It this Is not done, the buildings in the picture will appear to be falling either backward or forward, according to the way in which the camera was tilted
 There are times. however, when the camera may be tilted to advantage some cases it is an absolute necessity. For example, In photographs of clouds, waterfalls, balloons, etc., the camera may point upward; while in taking pie lures of people hwimming or bathing. children at work or .play, etc., it may be pointed downward, Very successful photographs of prominent speakers, parades, crowds, etc., have been taken when the camera was held upside down. It makes no difference in the negative whether the camera Is right side up or not. By holding the camera ins the way suggested many photo- : apher has secured good pictures, NTnile others who tried to use the cam era in the usual way made absolute failures. Often by holding the camera by the side of the body and pointing it backward, one may secure pictures of children at play and of older people In natural poses without knowledge.
 Another warning to beginners is ne- cessary. Do not try to take a time ex- posture while holding the camera in the hand. Even if the camera is held against the breast the respiration stopped, the action of the heart is suf- ficient to cause the box to vibrate and spoil the picture-Circle.

HOME oF THE IcEBERGs

Almost all the icebergs seen in the north Atlantic during June are pro- ducts of the coast of Labrador, form ed from the ice field that had filled the indentations of that coast the previous winter. July's icebergs come from farther north, in the vicinity of Baffin Land. those of August come from still farther north, and though fewer in number than those of the earlier sum- nler are larger individually. From the coast of Labrador may be seen an endless procession of these ice moun- tains coming out of the north and taking their way majestically south ward until they lose their being in the warmer waters and climate of the south Atlantic,-From the Marine Journal.

A GOLDFISH EXPERIMENT.
Problem of Shipping Live Fish May b,

Problem of Shipping Live Fish May be
 Solved by Use of Oxygen.
 An interesting experiment. in fish life has been completed by an amateur fish culturist, Mrs Frank M. Johnson, at her apartments at the corner of Joy and Beacon streets, says ''The Boston Transcript" Mrs Johnson, who Is the wife of Dr. Frank M. Johnson, was at tracted by Q German magazine article on the possibility of keeping fish alive in oxygen, without water. She enlisted the services of c. J. Mccarthy, the we'll known fly caster, and they devised an apparatus which consisted of the ordi- nary suppliy tank of oxygen, natural history specimen jar, with its cover pierced for inlet and outlet tubes, a wire screen and felts to hold the fish, and the connecting tubing.
 Goldfish, the most easily obtained and delicate specimens for test were selected. Four of them were put on moistened and perforated felt and set in the jar ts soon as 1t had been filled with the oxygen. A slight current was kept flowing into the jar and the test was EOuglI1uEu. lOI two HOuISs
 At the enr of that time the fish were put back into the water from which they had been taken. There were no signs of distress, and the fish did not need to make a recovery" there fas no floating helpessly on the side and finally getting around through feeble ness to normal condition. On the con- vnIao raH tbaTr aY1 to swim about just like the other fish in the tank, which had not been out at all. Inside of a minute, as soon as the fish had shifted from their first posi- ton, it was impossible to say which fish had been out of the water,
 When they were first put into the gas the goldfish fiopped about a little. but inside of five minutes they became perfectly quiet and lay breathing qui- etly and strongly through their gills. They exhibited absolutely no sign of discomfort and would follow with their eyes a finger moved about on the out side of the jar Dr. Johnson, himself well knownas an icthyologist and au- thor of a two-volume work on the fish of New England, says he thinks the OK ygen has an intoxicating effect on the fish.
 Fish can ordinarily stand more than the fifteen pounds pressure of the air, and another fact to be ascertained is how much pressure of oxygen gas they can endure If both these experiments yield satisfactory answers the problem of shipping live fish is solved. Hereto fore it has been necessary to send them in tanks in which the water must 'Ae iced, and must be constantly renewed or aerated mechanically If Mrs. John- sons experiments bear fruit they may eb sealed into their travelling jar of OK ygen and accomplish long journeys without water.

The bear party was very active in manipulating the market for lower prices. This they did on the basis of a weak London list and fresh European liquidation in metal stock@, on the Roosevelt Hartman controversy, on the unconservative dividend action of the Atchison directors and on the technical position of the market which is weak ened by an average rise of 8 or g points and a greatly reduced short interest.
 Because Baltimore and Ohio, which pays 6 per cent, is selling around 97 it was argued that Atchison, now on a 6 per cent. basis, ought to equal this price.
