Opening for the defense, Lawyer
Richardson early brought into his ar
gument the Roosevelt letter referring
to Haywood, Meyer and Debs as "un-
desirable citizens" and the fact that
the Standard Oil company owned the
mines and smelters in the Occur
dAlenes, where all the trouble began.
He explained how the Pinkertons had
hired Orchard to kill Steunenberg and
others In order to involve the leaders
of the miners union.
Following Richardson, Lawyer Oar
row made strong appeal for the de-
PENDANT, indulging in many emotional
climaXes. He urged the jury not to
compromise. but to "hang Haywood"
if they thought him guilty Of such a
crime. He summed up the evidence of
dozen witnesses who contradicted
Orchard and asked If they could take
the word of "a cowardly, lying MUIR

School Baths Provided.
The school board of Pittsburg. Pa,
has decided to install a system of
baths in one of its school buildings.
This will be for the use of tile school
children during the day, while the
mothers will be permitted to bring
children after school hours. This is
practically the first bathing plant es-
tablished in the Pittsburg schools, for
while the other was instituted some
years ago 1t was for the use of kinder.
garten pupils only.
Neishborhood Schools Wanted.
Discomfort with the public school
system has crystallized into a war cry
for neighborhood schools, says the
Literary Digest. and this war cry is
raised by the friends and not the enc
mics of the public schools, who be-
lieve that concentration has reached n
limit in schools as well as In other de-
partments of civic activity. Boston

Year after year these public schools
have been growing bigger and bigger
until at present IL is common In the
larger cities to see from 1000 to 5000
little tots crowded together into the
same building, which is in consequence
just so much further from the homes
OF many. Machine methods, under
such circumstances, become inevitable,
and 1t is difficult to give any kind of
elasticity to such a system, and the
writer believes that the growth of the
private schools marks revolt against
this kind of public school. He thinks
the remedy will be the development of
neighborhocd schools under central su-
pervision.
Medical Colleges Condemned.
A special committee Of the Amer
lean Medical association, which was
appointed three years ago to investi-
gate the instruction and standards Of
the various medical colleges in the
United States, has now submitted its
report, which condemns about onehalf
OF all the so called medical colleges
in the land and appeals to the public
to aid In remedying this evil. Among
the members Of the committee are
Drs. Bevan Of Chicago, Frazier of
Pennsylvania university, Witherspoon
of Nashville, Councilman of Boston.
Vaughan of Ann Arbor and Colwell of
Chicago. The committee finds that
there are too many of these schools
in which preliminary education is In
sufficient and In which the course of
instruction is inadequate and the lack
of trained teachers evident 1t APP
pears that there are now in this coun-
try 160 medical schools, or as many
as in all Europe. The report holds
that the great advance In the sciences
in recent years has made necessary a
much broader and more thorough
course of medical education than for
merly prevailed. 1t insists that a
four year high school course Is re-
quired, year of physics, chemistry
and biology, two years of practical
laboratory work, two years Of clinical
work in hospitals and year as in
terne I'm q hospital. To provide ade-
quate equipment medical schools must
be endowed. 1t is found that many
of our medical schools are still con-
Quoted solely for profit, which is con-
trary to the spirit of true attainment.

Bryan Defers Ownership Issue.

In q formal statement William J.
Bryan announces that government
ownership Is not an immediate ISSUE"
as "a large majority of the people still
hope for effective regulation" He still
believes, with many Democrats. that
public ownership Of railroads Is the
ultimate solution of the problem" but
he and they recognize that regulation
must be tried under the most favorable
circumstances before the masses will
be ready to try q more radical rene
dy" He adds that regulation cannot
be sufficiently tried within the next
year and that 'there is no desire any
where to make government ownership
an issue in 1905" That, he thinks,
would give the railroads an opportuni-
ty "to dodge the issues of regulation
and deceive the public"
Nevertheless Mr.. Bryan says that the
railroads so far have been successful
I'm preventing effective federal regula-
ton, while state regulation, as n rule,
has "been restrained by the United
States courts" 1t took ten years to
find that the commerce commission
was powerless and ten more to amend

tation has resulted In the railroads

ton in congress-" The Democratic
party. therefore, must meet the issues
by resisting ''the encroachments of the
authority of the states and insisting
upon "the exercise of the federal pow
er for the regulation Of Interstate com
merce." The party should demand
"the ascertaining of the value of all
the railroads, the preventing of over
capitalization and the reduction of
rates to a point where they will yield
only reasonable return on the real
value of the roads,"

sonal representative Of Bryan, an

Judge Pritchard's decision main
tanned that the penalties inflicted un-
der the new statute would close the
doors to a judicial hearing and would
amount to virtual confiscation of the
railroads property. He explains that
he had already, on June 20, enjoined
the state from putting the new rates
into effect pending an inquiry as to the
constitutionality of the law and that
he had protected the rights of the pub
lie by requiring coupon to be given
to each ticket purchaser showing the
amount to be refunded in the event
the rates should be upheld; hence he
holds that the federal court was not
the aggressor and that 1t would be
incumbent upon him to protect the
rights of the parties to the controversy
and the authority of his court by pre-
that If the case had been carried to a
higher state court that court would
not have permitted the execution Of a
sentence based upon the infraction of
a law whose validity was yet to be de-
termined by the courts.
Governor Glenn, in a statement to
the press, resents the charge of usur-
patton made by the railroad men and
says that he is simply trying to enforce
the law as the executive officer of the
state, it being his duty to see that vio-
lators are punished
With view to adjusting this con-
f1ict of authorities Assistant Attorney
General Sanford was sent by President
Roosevelt to Asheville to propose
compromise providing that the injunc-
ton suit be brought to final hearing at
once. that the habeas corpus case be
carried at once to the supreme court
by appeal and that all further proceed
ings under the rate law in the state
court be suspended until the supreme
court of the United States could rem
der final jEigment., This proposition
promptly as involving his surrender to
the federal court. He said he would
not consider any offer from the other
side until the railroad had complied
with the law and until the federal
courts had recognized the right of the
state TO institute suits and to prosecute
them under the existing law He or
dered other prosecutions to he pro
ceeded with, saying that he would use
every lawful means to enforce the
laws of the state. He holds that the
interference of Judge Pritchard pre-
vented the state courts from perform
Ing their duties and would have tied
the hands of the governor.
Judge Pritchard formerly served
eight years i'm the United States sen
ute. having been elected on the Re-
publican-Popullst fusion ticket. At
The end of his term he was appointed
by President Roosevelt to the supreme
bench of the District of Columbia and
one year later was elevated to the en-
cult court.

A New Foundation Method.
The Literary Digest quotes from q

foundations now used in all sorts of
conditions. 1t is known as the COM
pressed system. 1t consists in making
holes through the soft soil down to

which is forced down like a pile driver
and then filling these holes with stones
and rubble in successive layers, each
