the administration is beginning to
realize that it has been little too
radical in it's attitude to the railroads

Mr.. Hartman declined to talk about
the report that he had obtained con-
troll of the Reading railroad. Speaking
of agitation against corporate wealth.
he said:
"They-we-all of us, ought to have
considered the possible effects OF this
agitation before 1t was begun or be-
fore conditions that made its growth
possible were allowed to continue. Il
we had all met on common ground
and co-operated for our mutual bene-
fit nobody would be worrying over

GREAT GAME SUNDAY

DOUGLAS, Sept. 13.-(Special)- )-
 All baseball enthusiasts now await the coming of next Sundays game and their enthusiasm, become latent, will on that day have full play. For if the Elks should win would not they be tied with the champion Midland team and would not that require an other game to settle the series, with the Elks having an even chance of winning? That's the way the rooters and fans size up the proposition and they see many possibilities in the coming game.
 The Midland players are stflI In the city. They could not arrange for the proposed series with Cananea and will remain here for the Sunday game ano possibly stay longer. All are pleased with the west and 1t is likely that they will continue towards the setting sun. They are good baseball 'Tn- dians" and love the trail that takes them over the diamonds of this part of the country.
 The lineup next Sunday will be about the strongest either of the teams can muster and at the present outlook will be something like this:
 ElKs-Lahorn. If; Sprintz, 2b; Cook If; Carey, cf; Doran,c; J. Kelly, ss, Hugh Kelly, ID; Worthington, 3b; Bordhaus, D; Archibald and Reed, bench.

On January 8, last. Billiard was q
big, husky fellow, a graduate of Cam
bridge Latin school, and an expert
electrician. He started to learn tun-
neling, and decided to begin at the
bottom by becoming a sand hog"
He passed the examinations and went
to work on a Monday morning as
hydraulic filter in the Pennsylvania
tunnel under the East river. When
he came to the surface that night he
almost tainted with ''the bends" The
physician took him back into the tun-
mel, put him in the medical airlock
at the foot of the shaft, and, as is
usually the case, "recompressed" him
that is, treated him under the pres
sure of compressed air. The next
morning Billiard was unconscious. He
was sent to a hospital, and died that
evening. In his case it was said that
he had Bright's disease which devel-
oped rapidly under air pressure.

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president is
Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period Of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he 'began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
partment of work VIM. E. Ingersoll,
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
Of the companys office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $2,O0O,0OO,0OO insurance on
it's books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150,OO0,O0O a year (Which is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds $2,000,000,00
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
POord a If r1onnc Of fhn hQod of tho
company to protect their interests men
of thorough training and unexception-
able character.

NOT ALL MATTER OF MEMORY.
Popularity in Numbering Rooms
Helped Hotel Clerk.

When it got as far as the cigars at
an informal supper the other night,
at which the manager of one of the
most-talked-of New York hotels was
the host, the talk turned on the per-
lection of modern hotel management.
The manager boosted of the fact that
in his house at least the clerks were
paragons of memory and cleverness.

said one of the guests, that exactly
at midnight when the clerks change,
I, having no room here, can walk to
the desk, ask for the key of a certain
room, giving the number, and get it. !"
Done" said the manager.
Exactly at II the man making the
bet entered the lobby as if he had
just come from the street. This dia-
logue followed at the desk:

of the tree and all over its trunk.
The sap is sucked from the tree, and
its death is but a question of time.
The De Soto oak is going by the
boards the same way. And it seems
a great pity. It is a giant among the
great oaks of the universe. 1t is over
so feet around at it's base and we'll up
in height, rears its head several hum
dred feet, and has gigantic branches
reaching out, as straight as a chalk
line, for a distance of over so feet
1t is known to be over 800 years old.
But it is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good. The stringy moss, not
much wider than several strands of
hair from a horses name or tail, is
put through a cleaning process in
Florida and is shipped north to fac
tories, where it is used as substi-
tute for hair in the stuffing of sofas
and mattresses for beds.-Cincinnati

FAMOUS DE SOTO OAK DOOMED.
Parasite Attacks FIorida's Giant Tree,
Which Is Over 500 Years old.

The famous great oak in the beau
tiful park surrounding the Tampa
Bay Hotel, and which is known as
the De Soto oak, for the reason that
De Soto camped under it when he
landed on this coast, is doomed to
death. 1t has been attacked by par
asite which has killed whole forests
in Florida.
The parasite is sort of moss which
blows off other trees with the wind.
Whatever tree it lands on there it
sticks. The parasite burrows into the
tree. 1t breeds very fast, and the
moss it makes grows just as rapidly.
Whenever it lands on a tree, the be-
ginning of the end for the life of that
tree is a settled fact.
Strangely enough, too, Il produces
a plant in the branches OF the tree
very much like a water lily in ap-
pearance. 1t blooms and produces a
remarkable effect when the flowers
are on. In time the moss hangs down
in great confusion from every branch

DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Most I'm.
portant Acts in Life.

A Mass. doctor says: "Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal con-
troll that the proper selection of food
should be, and is one of the most i'm
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, / may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility,
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is suf-
ficient for the cereal part of a meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
81 am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods of
this character would increase the term
of human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and very considerably i'm
prove society in general. / am free to
mention the food, for l personally
know of it's value"
Grape Nuts food can be used by
babes in arms, or adults. 1t is ready
cooked, can be served instantly,
either cold with cream, or with hot
water or hot milk poured over. All
sorts of buildings and fancy dishes can
be made with Grape-Nuts. The food
is concentrated and very economical,
for four heaping teaspoons are sufi-
cient for the cereal part Of a meal.

Kill Sanborn's Bill.

After one of the hardest contests of
the session Senator Sanborn's contrib
utary negligence bill was defeated in
the senate. The bill had been debat-
ed, and although it was on the calen-
dar as a special order, there was no
discussion, Senator Sanborn simply
stating that he desired a full attend
ance, and unless the sergeant-at-arms
could secure the presence of absen-
tees he would move a call of the
house. Some of the senators were in
their committee rooms, and, upon no
tice, appeared. The ayes and noes
were called for and the bill was decis-
lively defeated by vote of 16 against
and 10 for-Senators Barker, Bird,
Bishop, Brazeau, Fairchild, Fridd,
Hagemeister, Hudnall, Munson, No
BILE, Page, Roehr, Smith, Stout, Wolff
and Wright Those voting for the
passage of the bill were: Senators
Burns, Hardwood, Husting, Lockney,
Marsh, Martin, Morris, Owen, Pear
son, Rummel, Sanborn and Wilcox,
Senators Browne and Whitehead were
paired, the former for and the latter
against the measure. Senators Froem-
ming, Randolph and Stondall were alb
sent, Senator Froemming being kept

Bills AROUSE Auto owners.

Automobile owners in the southern
and eastern part of Wisconsin are
aroused over two innocent appearing
bills which got through the senate
without meeting with any opposition
and which have been quietly pushed
to third reading in the assembly and
will come up for final conference ear
ly next week. They confer on judges
of municipal courts at Waukesha and
Oconomowoc power to appoint depu-
ty clerk in each unincorporated viii
lage and township in Waukesha coun-
ty with authority to issue warrants
for the arrest of any one who he
thinks has violated the law. The bills
are aimed at automobilists and if
passed will provide veritable army
of officers in Waukesha county to ar
rest tourists and others who may APP
pear to be exceeding the speed limit.
Automobilists are preparing to make
a fight on the two bills when they
come up for final consideration.

Then to 'Mr. Johnson's" dismay he

1t was then that the manager APP,

to the swaying foot bridges until they
became great festoons of running
fire.
Several men were on the bridge at
the time, but they all escaped. One
of them crossed the traverse platform
from one blazing foot bridge to the
other just as the burning structure
fell. For awhile he hung there over
the river swaying to and fro like a
spider whose web is torn by the
wind. Then he climbed to the big
cable overhead and crawled slowly to
the Brooklyn tower.
When the bridge was nearly fin
ished riveter slipped on an icy plat
form and fell $50 feet to the East
river. He turned several somersaults
on his way down, struck the water
with great splash, and was flshed
out almost uninjured. Later rivet-
er's apprentice stepped on a greasy
girder, slipped and fell to the ground,
100 feet beneath. He landed in a
heap of sand, got up and looked
around, as he said later, ito see if
he was dead" His only injuries were
a broken arm and some bruises.

as well as principal may be held for
violating it. Mr.. Cochems has vigor~

The Coolidge bill providing for ply
steal connection between separate
telephone systems and prohibiting
Implications of exchanges and toll
lines was killed in the assembly. The
test vote came on the question of the
adoption of a substitute for the orr
