last decade Hard times will certainly

pie generally change their tactics. to-
ward the railroads and corporate inter.
ests. =
81 AS an argument against the tendency
for wholesale reduction in railroad rates.,
Hartman called attention to the in
creased cost of everything that enters
into the maintenance of railroads.
Even money is higher he said,
than it has been at any time in the last
ten years This is just the same to rail-
roads as if the cost of labor and ma.
terial is raised"
u Admitting that the railroads to a
great extent are responsible for the hos
tile movement that is now sweeping the,
country, Hartman said the only way to.
solve the problem was for the govern
sment and corporate interests to get intoS
closer harmony and to try to bring about
solution that viii be to the interests.
Of both.
Hartman commended the stand taken
BY President Roosevelt III message re-
Gently sent to congress when he adro-
Gated a reciprocal agreement" between
the government and railroads. # was
a very bold and courageous stand for the
president to take said the railroad
magnate. aand the only thing for the

NEW DEFENSE FOR CLINE.
Psychic Epilepsy Is the Unique

FtGds
Dr. Elmore f. Elliott of New York
has escaped the meshes of the law
through unique plea. He had been
arrested for brutally assaulting. with
out provocation, a man and his wife
on the public street. Psychic epilepsy.
defined as acute epilepsy, without any
external manifestations, was the de-
Tense successfully offered.
DIR. Elliott in his own behalf, test
fed that he had been subject to at
lacks of psychic epilepsy since child
hood. and that during these attacks
he had no knowledge OF his acts or
recollection OF them upon recovery.
Medical testimony was offered to
sustain this plea, and the prisoner was
discharged.
Lawyers who heard the defense and
members of the district attorneys
staff continued to discuss DIR. Elliott's
strange statement long after the ply
stefan had left court. They agreed
that its scope was practically limitless
and asserted that psychic epilepsy
would undoubtedly prove a successful
defense even for murder.
ut is the best defense ever heard
and the best defense In the world"

velop the Importance to the world Of

that it is merited. Whenever a valu-
able discovery, warranting United

Of the department Of agriculture, the
secretary advances the salary OF the
