A new method of cutting steel is said to have been patented by Bel gian engineer. The process consists in first heating the metal by means of an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut ting it by a small stream of oxygen gas, which unites with the steel and forms a fusible oxide which flows freely from the cut. It is said that t3e cut is fully as smooth as that made by the saw, and is only 1-100 inch wide.

surgeon herself, gave almost instant
attention to her husbands wounds,
but despite her prompt action the
wounded man survived only few
hours. 1t was information which he
gave the police before his death that
led to the apprehension of Bell.
Revenge was for the wife OF the
prisoner in the other case. The vic
tim was her father, BARLEY Horner,
wealthy Long Island contractor. She
will be the principal witness against
her husband DIR. James Simpson who
is now on trial charged with having
shot his father-in-law to death. The
spectacle of wife appearing on the
witness stand prepared to swear away
the life Of her husband is one with
which New Workers, at least, are not
familiar. Even the law makes an ex-
ception in her case and no matter
what knowledge of the crime she may
have the prosecution is powerless to
force her to tell her story against her
will. But Mrs. Simpson is willing
witness. She has chosen between her
husband and her father, the living
and the dead, and the husband is the
loser. BARLEY Horner was killed in
his Long Island home more than a
year ago, and few days later his
son-in-law was arrested charged with
the crime. Simpson admitted that he
held the gun from which the fatal
shot was fired, but declared that it
was entirely accidental. His story
would have been accepted by the Off
Gals had it not been for information
concerning the case by the prisoners
wife and mother-in-law. They told
of frequent quarrels between Horner
and Simpson, of threats which the
latter had made to have his father
in-law's life, and of happenings i'm
mediately before the tragedy. Simp-
son had been drinking hard for sew
eral days, they said, and for an hour
before the shooting had marched
around the house with his gun over
his shoulder declaring that there was
trouble coming" From the moment
of the shooting Simpson has never
seen his wife. She has never visited
him in his prison nor has she sent any
word save of unrelenting hate to his
cell. When the trial was called she
was one of the first on hand and she
made no secret of the fact that she
would appear probably as the princi-
pal witness for the state. Simpson
still maintains his innocence, and de-
clares that he will yet win back the
affection of his wife. Mrs. Simpson
Is a remarkably beautiful woman and
it is said that she is as earnest as she
is beautiful.

world wide reputation sat day after
day in the courtroom observing the
youthful millionaire who surrendered
everything in his effort to avenge a
real or fancied wrong and then wrote
columns upon columns upon the result
of their observations. According to
some of these learned gentlemen Thaw

MANUFACTURE OF WAR RUMORs.

After an interval OF silence the jap
anese war runor factory seems to have
started up double turn to make up for
lost time. The latest alarm is based
upon Secretary Taft's communication
urging the appropriation of more
money than the committee has allowed
for the fertilization of the Hawaiian
islands. In ordinary times such
communication would have been con-
sidered at it's proper value, merely
as pressure to obtain larger appro-
priations for a work the department
has long wished to complete as soon
as possible. But in these days it is
suddenly magnified into war meas
ure, impelled by supposed secret
knowledge of the imminence of a
clash with Japan, and, taken with the
Presidents invitation to the San Fran
cisco Board of Education for a con-
ference, is made out as proof positive
that war is just around the corner.
Even superficial knowledge of the
facts dispels this crop of rumors in
a moment The fertilization of Ha-
waii has been urged by secretaries of
war ever since the island was annex
ed. Secretary Taft simply reiterated
what has been said both by Secretary
Root and by himself long before the

rest, but since they may be as harm
full as they are silly the sooner they
are dissipated the better.

tracted with them in fraudulent man
ner. Mr.. Piper has introduced num-
Der of peculiar measures, one of
which was his bill to prohibit all
county officials from holding Office
more than two terms. He was serious
in his advocacy of the measure but
the rest of the house was not and
when the bill came from its third
reading it looked like an Orangeman
who had attended a st. Patrick's day
celebration. 1t is likely this one, if it
ever gets out of the committee. will
meet similar fate. 1t is entirely
uncalled for and is measure of alb
solute injustice. 1t should be remem-
bered that hotel bills are not like
most other bills. The proprietor can
not use stomach pump to recover
his goods even if he were disposed to
do it, and it is rather embarrassing to
state to customer when he registers
that he is required to pay in advance.
The truth is hotel men are forced
by the very nature of their business
to deal almost exclusively with strang-
ers, and while under the present law
they have an adequate remedy to
recover their money, at the same time
they are not required to use any un-
business like methods with their
guests who come to them unknown.
A bill is now pending in the legis-
lature placing certain requirements
upon those who hold themselves out
to the public as innkeepers and there
is a possibility that it will become
law. This bill will place additional
cost on many Of those who are en-
gagged in the hotel business in the
state, and they should raise en- masse
and demand that the Piper bill be
killed.

CHICAGO'S EPIDEMIC.

The epidemic of scarlet fever and
diphtheria in Chicago has reached the
stage where the Health Board has is
sued proclamation asking that all
social meetings and public gatherings
be abandoned. In all it is estimated
there have been 10000 cases of these
diseases, and the number may reach
$4,000. Nor is the epidemic confined
to Chicago. 1t affects the whole north
ern portion of Illinois.
Fortunately, the mortality rate is
low, SO low as to justify in that count
the claim of the health authorities
that the epidemic is not serious, but
it depends upon whether high death
rate is necessary to make such a
plague serious. The cause seems in
dispute. BY some it is laid to infec-
ton of the milk supply, but the Health
Board denies this and, oddly enough
places it upon the commingling of the
people, hence the request for the aban-
donment Of public meetings. Oddly,
because that statement is in itself a
damning confession that the Health
Board is primarily responsible If the
board had performed its duties and
enjoined strict quarantine upon the
first cases there could have been no
commingling and no spread to epidem-
ic proportions. 1t seems to have been
simply a case of inefficient or in
capable health administration. allow
ing two diseases to get beyond con-
troll.
The lesson from Chicagos expert
ence should be plain to all other COM
munities, that if there is one depart
ment of the public government that
should be held to the highest stand
ards it is that having in charge the
protection of the health of the people.
Happily at the present time there is
a growing concern about this very
point, and public attention is being
centered as never before upon the i'm
portance of efficient energy in health
administration.
