UP TO THE DEPARTMENT.

Several weeks ago President Roose-
seIt declared chat E. II. Hartman was
an undesirable citizen" and to en-
phasize. his words he used the names
or other men Of different class and
type. saying that Hartman was as
bad as they.
The interstate commerce commission
after long period devoted to the task
of investigating Mr.. Harriman's busi-
ness methods, gives substance to the
presidents words and stamps the rail-
road magnate as the most daring pro-
moter who ever broke an anti-discrffn-
dnation law or operated his companies
for the benefit Of a favored few.
The commission seems to have made
"A good case against Hartman who,
this paper has repeatedly asserted, is
more Of a stock iobber than developer
of great schemes. Harriman's projects
have been immense. but in carrying
them out he has been Spectator in
stead of a builder. He has added little
TO the wealth of the country, his work
being, rather, to transfer large por-
tion of that wealth to himself and his
associates rather than to produce
something new. To that extent Har-
4 riman has been an undesirable citi-
gen"
Mr.. Rooseveit's charge will not have
further vindication until the courts get
hold of the great railroad manipulation.
The commission has done it's part. 1t

COMP ARSON OF
WORLDS NAv|ES

LONDON, July 20.-A parliamentary
return has just been issued showing
the comparative strength of the great
powers in completed first class battle
ships less than rs years old, and
armored cruisers, less than 20 years
old, on June 1. Great Britain has 81
battleships, Of which 10 are considered
of obsolete type; the United States, 1s
battleships. OF which four are consid-
cred obsolete; France 20 with six OBJ
solete; Germany 20 with nine obsolete
and Japan II, with two obsolete.
OF cruisers, Great Britain has 80
United states 10, France 10. Germany
6 and Japan 10.

has pointed the way and has shown
where Harriman's methods are irregu-
lar and injurious. Government officials
and government courts must do the
rest. The case Is now up to the de-
partment of justice, and as the head
Of that department is an appointee of
the president it is to be presumed that
early steps will be taken toward call
ing Hartman to account for the things
of which he stands accused.

There was one other person in New
York VINO that same morning had read
the newspaper item regarding the Ry-
der-Roberts betrothal, and he did not
take the matter so calmly as Shirley
had done. On the contrary, 1t had the
effect of putting him into violent
rage. This was Jefferson He was
working In his studio when he read it,
and five minutes later he was tearing
uptown to seek the author of it. He
understood its object, of course. They
wanted to force his hand, to. shame
him into this marriage, to SO entangle
him with the girl that no. other alter
native would be possible t0 an honora-
BILE man. 1t was q despicable trick,
and he had no doubt that his father
was at the, back OF It. So his mind
now was fully made up. He would go,
away at once where they could not
make his life harden. with this odious,
marriage which was fast becoming a
nightmare to him. HIS. would close un

Jefferson cornered him at once. hold

offending paragraph.

The English secretary gave his en-
pioyer's son naughty stare and then.
without deigning to reply or even to
glance at the newspaper, continued his
instructions to the servant:
Here. Jorkins, get stamps TOR all
these letters and see they are maiaed at
once- They are very important"
VERY good, sir"
The man took the lstters and disap-
peared, while Jefferson. impatient, re-

Here's a nature fakir story that

"The degeneracy Of Fido. or what

would be an appropriate title. Ray
mond Rodgers of Cairo, H., has a dog
named Fido. 1t is a very smart dog
and has been trained to rush the

Pinchins Bug Whips Chicken.

Men employed in the lumber yard of
the American Car and Foundry compa-
ny at JeffersOnville, Ind, witnessed a
battle between a pinching bug and a
chicken, in which the ''pincher'' won
the day. The chicken turned up the
bug, but the bug got first hold and
chung closely to the chickens neck, and
the chicken could do nothing. The
men stood around and made bets. AS
fast as the bug was shaken loose and
the chicken renewed the attack, the
"pincher" would rear up and steadily
face its foe, and its determined re-
sistance finally compelled the chicken
TO take fight.

WENT TO BED WITH CORPSE.
Exciting Experience of a Kentucky
Editor In a Crowded Hotel.

Exciting Experience of a Kentucky
Editor In a Crowded Hotel.
Major James Morton, editor of the
Hardaman (Ky.) Free Press, was the
victim of an exciting experience at a
hotel at Grand Junction, KY, which he
will not soon forget. Nor will the two
other persons who were principals in
the comic tragedy find it easy to erase
the episode from their memories
Major Morton had missed his train
and, going to the hotel late, asked for
room. The clerk said the house was
crowded, but he guessed he could as
sign him to room with another man
who probably would have no objec-
tons.
BY a mistake the major was sent to
the wrong room. Not wishing to awak-
en- his bed mate, the editor quietly dis
robed and retired
Presently a young man and woman
entered the room and took seats near
an open window The major thought
this procedure strange, but said nothing
listening to what they said. He heard
something about sitting up with the
dead" He remembered that the per-
son in the bed had not moved, and,
reaching over, he touched his bed mates
hand. Major Morton jumped up with
the sheet over him and ran out Of the
room The young people, thinking the
corpse had come to life, broke for a
side door, and all met in the Office on
the first floor for explanations.

]. A. FitZsilumons, a recruit in the Co.
lumbus barracks who enlisted in the
cavalry two months ago, complained
of nervousness and was admitted to
the post hospital. He tried to chew the
covers off the bed, and when ques-

muttered something about Traverse
City. Mich. Inquiries brought word
from that city that F1tzsimmons had
been confined in an insane hospital
there and escaped q year ago.

The desperation which sometimes

had a more thrilling exemplification
than in the case of Charles Blank Of
Des Moines, Ia, who, in an effort to
secure money to send to his sick wife,
who he claims is in Chicago, laid
two gold teeth and a wooden leg upon
the counter of Zachariah Woolf, a
pawnbroker, and begged for a loan.
Woolf says he knew Blank years ago,
when he was prosperous, and had con-

handed Blank IS, and the latter, minus
part of his masticating and locomo-
ton organs. hobbled to a bank and
bought a draft to send to his afflicted

BABY TURNED BLACK
Foster Parents of Founding Were
Deeply Alarmed.
BUT 1T WAS ALL RIGHT.

Family Physician Soon Relieved Their
Fears as to ChId's Physical Welfare,
but Gave Them Shock That They
Couldn't Get Over.
The adoption of an Independence day
baby by Peter Quick, a childless car
penter, and his wife, who live near
Pleasantville, n. Y, has brought about
an awful complication in Mr.. Quick's
home.
Bright and early on the morning of
July the baby was found beside the
road near Pleasantville. 1t was smil-
ing, bouncing girl. The finders took
the baby into the village and turned
her over to the county authorities. Be
fore she had been there long along
came Mrs. Quick, who was fond of
children and had none of her own.
How / should like to have herv' she
said to her husband
well, you can," said he, eff they
will give her to you"
So that part of the business being
settled, they made request of the au-
thoritieS and after some little persua-
sion were given the child to raise"
and went off home smilingly happy.
Everything went smoothly in the
Quick home save, of course, for an Oc-
casional case of baby collie, but that
Mr.. Quick and his wife didn't mind.
They had the baby and were happy to
care for her through all of its infant
ailments
But about ten days ago the baby de-
veloped a new ailment that Peter.
Quick and his good wife could not I'M
derstand. She was growing an inch a
day, and Peter Quick and his wife
grew more fond of her. The baby was
healthy and cooed away, gOo-gooed and
smiled, but her skin had begun to be
several shades darker.
At first no attention was paid to this
except that an additional dose of medi-
cine was administered.
But the infants hair began to kink
and her skin grew decidedly darker.
That settled it, The baby had some
horrible disease that was beyond
treatment at the hands of its adopted
parents. The family physician was
called in Il hurry. He smiled.
No, the baby was not i'll, ne said
She was in perfectly natural condi-
ton. The real father and mother of

could not be expected that the baby
should be white Good morning.
There was CONSERVATION in the
Quick family.
"We can't raise negro baby, Peter,
can we?' said Mrs. Quick. And ne
agreed they couldn't.
What had we better do with it?"
she asked.
Wen take it to the almshouse and
tell them we don't want it. They'll
have to take it back" said he.
And they did. Little Martha Wash
ington, as the infant was christened
in honor Of the day of her birth, is
now reposing peacefully in the West
chester county almshouse. But she is
not getting the petting she received
during her short stay with her parents
by adoption.

of Mrs. Rydman. She was thrown
heavily to the paved street and picked
up unconscious. Or. Steiner stated
