A Victory for Justice and Orderly GOV.
ernment.

The New York World, the leading Dem
ocratic newspaper Of the country strong
ly upholds the justice Of the fine of s29,
100000 imposed against the Standard Oil
company, and the administrative policy
under which this result has been brought
about. Following are some of the crisp
sentences in which the World sums up its
views:
The great source of discomfort among
the very poor, the capital Of the agitator
the stock in trade OF the demagogue. is
the suspicion that the administration of
the law is one thing for the rich and
quite another thing for the Door
Judge Landss sentence breaks the spell
1t confounds the critics 1t gives notice
to other corporate and monopolistic Of
tenders that lawbreaking must stop. And
more than that, II treasures the people
and rebukes the agitator. The power
and prominence of the culprits rebuked
the publicity that has been given to their
vain efforts to escape justice by every
art Of the pettifogger. the almost incon-
ceivable vastness Of the fine itself. all
aid to make the lesson memorable
A strong Executive urging on the de-
partment Of justice to use all its energy
and employ all its resources in the public
cause deserves no small part OF the praise
for the victory. II President Roosevelt
mad made ten times as many mistakes, II
he were ten times more impulsvc, mac
curate, laking in Presidential dignity; II
nc were ten times more changeable, vo-
ciferous. fond of appeals to unthinking
passion-still would his act in starting
the machinery of the government, with
all the majesty of it's slow moving force.
in the direction of prosecuting these
offenders entite him to the gratitude Of
the people.
This one initiative impulse and perse-
vcring instinct atones for a hundred mi
nor blunders. For II is in the line OF
greatest need. In proportion as the ad-
ministration Of justice has and deserves
public confidence does orderly govern
ment itself derive enduring strength"

The press dispatches from Concord,
N. H., say that a profound sensa-
tion" was caused Wednesday at the
hearing for an accounting of the estate
of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder
and head of the Christian Science church,
by the development of the fact that
Joseph Armstrong, one of the most
prominent officials of the Christian Sci
ence church in Boston, has for six weeks
past been under treatment by a doc
tor of medicine for severe attack of
pleurisy. The lawyers for the plaintiffs
in the Eddy case have been trying for
some time to find Mr.. Armstrong so as
to secure his testimony, and it was
through the sworn certificate of his at
tending physician that the fact came out.
Mr. Armstrong is manager of the Chris
tian Science Journal and publisher of all
the Christian Science literature. He
probably thinks he is sick

LARGEST PrehIstorIo Animal.

The most important discovery ever
made in the great fossil beds of Wyo-
ming is the skeleton OF an animal of the
lizard type, just found, which shows a
length of S14 feet. 1t is by far the largest
prehistoric animal yet discovered. The
skeleton, which was found by an expe-
dition from the Wyoming state university,
is in a perfect state of preservation,
every bone seeming to have been in place
when petrihcation set in. The skeleton
is in the side of a hill of shale and has
not been torn entirely from the stone in
which it is embedded, but the whole
length can be seen. One vertebrae,
which has been removed, weighed more
than 1000 pounds. The skeleton will be
placed in the Wyoming State university,
which has the largest collection OF fossils
in the world.

Law. Protects Secret Process.

The New Jersey court OF last resort
has reversed the lower courts in the case
OF the Vulcan DEFINING company VS.. the
American Can company, involving the
important principle of the right Of an en-
ployer to prevent former employe from
disclosing n secret trade process to a rival
concern. The Vulcan Company had been
organized, ten years ago, to exploit an
electrical process for recovering the tin
from old tin cans, a process purchased in
Holland. 1t proved profitable. and then
the American Can company obtained the
secret from a former employe Of the Vul-
can and put him in charge of rival de-
timing plant. The Vulcan sued and the
first trial went against them. Now the
Court OF Errors and Appeals holds that
the former employees OF the Vulcan who
received knowledge OF this process in con-
fidence became its trustees and that, as
SUCH they were forbidden from disposing
Of that knowledge for profit or to the dis
advantage OF the Vulcan company. On
the same theory OF law the American Can
company assumed the peculiar relation Of
trustee to its rival, and the former COM
pany is permanently enjoined from pro-
ceeding with its detinning operations and
is ordered to account to the Vulcan for
all profits made in the past from the said
process.

tween 1000 and 5000 men and 1000 horses

England has resolved to win back the

nished the greatest government subsidy

10000 indicated horse power. The Lu-
sitania wiz make her maiden voyage the
second week in September and the event
is awaited with worldwide interest
During recent prolonged trial trip the
Lusitania maintained an average speed
OF 25h knots, 1t is possible that with

BRATTLEBOR0 LOCAL
INJURIES WERE FATAL.
John oIynn Of Boston, Injured In Bellows
Falls, Brought to Memorial Hospital,
Suffering from Fractured Skull.


A man supposed to be John Glynn of
507 Harrison avenue, Boston, died in the
Memorial hospital yesterday afternoon as
the result of injuries received in Bellows
Falls Tuesday. He was found Tuesday
evening lying beside the railroad track
by a special policeman. On the suppo-
sition that ne was intoxicated he was
placed under arrest. He remained in a
partially insensibe state until late We'd
nesday, when Sheriff A. p. Thompson
went In to see him. He noticed that
though the man was standing up he
seemed in a dazed condition and unable
to help himself This aroused tine sher-
IFS suspicious and a physician was sum-
mOned. It was found that the man was
suffering from a severe fracture of the
skull and Sheriff Thompson ordered him
removed to the hospital here He was
brought here yesterday morning and died
early in the afternoon. On his way to
Brattleboro he frightened up and gave
his name as John Glynn and his resi-
dence as 5O7 Harrison avenue, Boston.
Nothing further is known of the man
though Sheriff Thompson telephoned the
Boston police department to find out
about him If possible. The residence is
in the heart Of the lodging house dis
trict and II is not probable that any
family or relatives will be found there.
The fact that Walter Mains circus was
IN bellows Fails Tuesday led to the sup
position that the man was connected with
It in some way One OF the members Of
the circus band told Sheriff Thompson
that the man mad Joined the army of
circus employees a few days before. AS
II was then supposed to be merely case
Of intoxication no further questions were
asked. The fracture OF the skull was
low down, near where the neck joins
1t is probable that it was caused by a
fall against the rails from a car but the
possibility Of foul play from another cir
Gus employe has been suggested. The
man appeared to be about 21 years old.
