from him as an individual. The chair
sustained him in this.
Representative Archer said: This
committee is vitality interested in the
question of whether or not money has
been paid out of the state treasury IL
legally. The defense has seemingly
established that this money was paid
by the several insurance companies,
and not by the state. We should have
rebuttal to refute this, and Mr.. Davis
should be able to give it if any one
could. 1 hold that he cannot be cues
toned concerning his motive in ming
this resolution. That has nothing to
do with the case, as this resolution
bears the brand of the entire legisla-
ture. If he can give any evidence in
rebuttal, however, L think he should
do so in justice to the rest of the COM
mittee, who want to have something
definite to report
This is not an investigation of Mr..
Davis" said Carr Taylor. THE time
to investigate his motives was on the
floor of the house when the resolution
was introduced
The defendants were allowed to cross
examine witnesses, as they were not
represented by an attorney, but We're
not allowed to talk at random. AT the
opening of the hearing, D. o. McCray
warmed up while Davis was making
his statement, and jumped up TO DO
little talking on his own hook. I want
to brand as a falsehood-- he began.
"Shut--er- Sit Down." Thun-
dered the chairman. You are out of
order, sir. You will be permitted to
talk when you are on the witness
stand
1t was nearly midnight when the
committee adjourned to continue the
investigation today. Luling has prom
ised to go to the insurance commits
sioner's office and hunt up certain let
tiers bearing on the case against Hop
kins, Leach and McCray.

Carries or More People Than Any
Other Disease.

Washington, Feb. "a census bureau
report issued today shows that out of
only two-fifths of the population of the
United States, more than half p million
lives were offered up in 1905 as a sacrifice
to disease. Startling this death rate
may seem, it was less than for the pre-
ceding year. but was in excess of the num-
Der of deaths registered for any other
year. This death rate is lower than that
of Ireland. Germany and Italy for he
same period. but higher than that of Eng
land and Wales, Scotland and The Meth
erlands.
The death rate from ne9hrits and
Bright's disease. apopleXy, cancer. dia-
betes and appendicitis is increasing. while
that from old age, bronchitis, commissions
peritonitis and scarlet fever are decreas-
ing.
The greatest death rate recorded for any
one disease in 1853 was that from pulmon-
airy tuberculosis, amounting to 56.770
while pneumonia follows closely with a
death rate of 39,06S. exclusive of broncho-
pneumonia. The much dreaded cancer
shows a steadily growing death rate the
figures being p, $50.

Senator Paterson Advocates Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Pat
terson (Colo.) addressing the senate to-
day made a plea for government owner
ship of railways. He predicted that
such a condition would be brought
about within the lifetime of the present
members of the senate, but did not an
ticipate any speedy action in that direc-
ton.
The railroads, he declared, were grow
ing more arrogant each year and as he
saw little or no relief in the new rate
law government control of the roads
would supply the only remedy. To show
the value of his idea Mr.. Patterson
presented figures from 80 counties show
ing the presence of government owner
ship in some form and he saw a stead
iIy increasing sentiment in that direc-
ton so far as the United States is con-
cerned American roads he valued at
between eleven and twelve billion dol
lars. They could be obtained by con-
domination proceedings, the financial
end being covered by a mortgage back
ed by the governments guarantee.
Mr. Patterson ridiculed the idea that
a vast political machine would be built
ND through federal operation of roads.
AS matter of fact, he declared, rail-
road politics would be abolished. Among
the benefits to be gained through own
ershfp Mr. Patterson mentioned extern
sion of the postal system, postal ex-
nress and equitable rates.

During former sessions of the Kan
sas legislature, Maple Hill Joe Dolley
both as a Stubbsidized representative
and senator of the first sitting was
noted for his solemnity This indica-
ted that he took it seriously and was
intent upon saving the country once or
twice more. He started in the pres
ent session with the same shop worn
expression of severity. but even Sena-
tor Dolley has a limit. Recently he
has been caught smiling. The other
senators would not believe it for
while, and attributed the look to Sc
we're pain of some sort But it has
gradually dawned upon the upper
house that the senator from Wabaun-
see is not a wooden Indian. and that
