MOTHER GETS INCUBATOR BABY
Wins in Long Legal Fight for Chilli
Exhibited at St. Louis.

Topeka, Kan.-The Kansas supreme
court has decided that Mrs. Charlotte
E. Bleakley of Lawrence is entitled
to the incubator baby" exhibited at
the ST. Louis worlds fair. This re-
verses the decision of the Douglas
county district court and upholds the
decision Of the circuit court of Hi,
nois, which held that Mrs. Bleakley
is the mother of the child.
The baby was placed in an incuba-
tor by st. Louis midwife after the
mother had been told it was born
dead. There Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
Barkley adopted the child and took
it to Illinois.
The fight for possession came about
when the mother brought suit to RI
gain the child after she had formally
signed papers giving up her claim
to it.

Rate War Threatened.

Chicago.-The immigrant bureau OF
the Western Passenger Association
faces disruption. Consequent demoral-
ization in passenger rates doubtless
will follow Conservative opinion
points to war, and no one will ven
ture an opinion as to where 1t will end.
1t developed at a meeting OF the ad-
visory committee, which has direct
charge OF all immigrant business, that
Peter Mcdonald, an independent i'm
migrant agent at New York, and sup
posed to be employed by all western
railroads. had routed 5000 tickets from
European points through New York
via the New York, Ontario & Western
and the Wabash railroad to Kansas
City by a secret contract with the Wa
bash. This is likely to precipitate a
bitter fight.

New York-In the period OF 1850
| 1904 the national wealth of the United
States ran up from $1,l3o.7S0,2 22s TO
$l07 ,l04. 1872. 40 From a statement OF
the increase by decades made public
by the census bureau il is seen that
the greatest actual gain came in the
ten years ending in 19O0-from s65,-
ooo. 600, 900 to sss,5O0, ,o00. .OO0-though
the percentage of increase was great
er than this in the ten years begin
ming with 1880
In 1870 there were two increase val
uations, one OF $30, 900, ,OOO, 900 in cur
rency and one of $4,000, 900, 900 in
gold, then at premium.
II is a common fact that, emitting
the decade 1850 to 1S70-a period
marked by lessened productivity due
to the civil war and by loss due to
to the emancipation of slaves-the an
hual increase of wealth per family
has been almost uniform. That in
crease for the decade 1850 to 1860
was $50: for the 20 years 1870 to
1890, $1S4, and from 1890 to 1904,
s1S2.
Real property and Improvements
taxed account for trif1e more than
half of the national wealth OF 1904:
railroads and their equipments are
itemized at S1l,244,752 900, manufac.
tured products over $7.400. 900 900,
live stock more than $4,000. 900 900,
manufacturing machinery, tools, etc,
nearly $3,300,000,000 clothing and
personal adornments about $2,5O0,.

1t has long been recognized that
taxes increase faster than population
The relation between tax levies and
wealth has not been generally observ.

report is shown that in % years from

upon the census estimate of true value
increased only two cents on 800
In the final period covered by this
report the revenue receipts of the

without parallel in the history of the
country save in the decade of 1S50-60
where its wealth more than doubled,
thus furnishing the greatest recorded

Irregularities Claimed In Jury Room on
ThaW Murder Trial.

New York.-Since the Jury in the
Harry X. Traw murder trial failed to
by members of the juryiT etoe1EL4-
agree, and has been discharged. two
astounding facts have been made
known by members of the jury con-
cerning George Pfaff. the only juror
who held out for a verdict of murder
in the first degree and the death pen
atty for Thaw.
The first was that Pfan, during the
trial of Thaw. wrote personal notes to
District Attorney Jerome, and that so
indignant did the other jurors finally
become about his conduct in this re-
gard that they threatened to call the
improperly to the attention OF Justice
Fitzgerald.

TO RRR rs HUMAN, POOR sKAGGs

Under the above heading the Stu
dent Record, published by the students
of the University of Nevada, has the
following to say regarding the charg-
es of graft at the University of Ne
vada, made by the speaker of the
assembly:
Is Skaggs "a loud but idle sound?''
or was his accusation, "that there is
graft at the university" based upon
truths?' LII so it is that variety Of
truth which eludes investigation and
makes logic ridiculous. The speaker
discharged a shot, a blank WI take,
and save the immediate report, the
short-live sensation-there were mo
other effects.
Fortunately, Oscar J. Smith, our
bold and staunch defender, was
there to put tire gentleman right, and
from reports he was not long in doing
it. Everything is quiet over at Car
son now in regard to this graft, and
we take the charitable view that
Speaker Skaggs was grossly misin-
formed. Since the possibility of the
existence of graft has been elimina.
ed we have dismissed the idea that
the speaker turned CRATER himself
and accepted hush money. We how
ever append for his casual observa
ton:
