When the boy first came to his no.

his habits were infantile and he was
abnormal in every way. His body
was undeveloped as was his brain.
Professor Campbell began by causing
the boy to wiggle one of his toes. an
operation which required several
weeks. Gradually the exercise was
extened, muscles were stimulated and
with their stimulation came a re-

HARTMAN MUST
ANSWER IN COURT
Will Be Shown No More FavOrs
Than Others

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Judge
4ough of the United States circuit
ourt handed down decision direct
ne otto H. Kuhn, member of the
ranking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., to
nswer all questions propounded to
i'm by the interstate commerce COM
nlssion.
E. H. Hartman was directed to
nswer all questions, except those
elatiye to the purchase of Union and
Southern Pacific stocks, in connec-
lion with the dividend of August,
SOG
While the exceptions were regard
ed as important questions by the gov
eminent lawyers who are investigat-
Ing the Chicago & Alton railroad or
ganization, they constituted only a
small portion of those that Hartman
refused to answer.
The clash between the witness
and the commission occurred Febru-
ary 25 of last year. For several days
the investigators had been endeavor-
mig to get at the bottom of Mr.. Har-
rimans railway manipulations con-
nected with the Chicago & Alton.
The question that marked the begin
ming of the controversy was this:
Did you own any of the Chicago &
Alton preferred stock sold by the
syndicate to the Union Pacific?"
Immediately the railroad presi-
dents lawyer John G. Milburn, con-
snded that the inquiry was not with
in the scope of the federal investiga-
ton. Frank B. Kellogg, government
attorney, took the contrary view. The
outcome, after prolonged arguments,
was that Hartman declined to answer
a number of questions as to stock
transactions on the ground of per-
sonal privilege.
Mr.. Kellogg and his associates ap-
piled to the federal courts to com
pei the witness to answer. AMONG
the lawyers who represented Harri-
man in the court proceedings was
John G. Spooner, former United
States senator from Wisconsin, who
had been prominently identified with
the passage of the law under which
the government started its investiga
tons.
Both Hartman and Kuhn were ex
AHMED in relation to the affairs o.
the Chicago & Alton, the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Re, the Illinois Cen
trail the St. Joseph & Grand Island
the New York Central, the Hudson
River and the Southern Pacific Rail
road companies.
Stock in these companies was &C
CURED by the Union Pacific company
of which Hartman was president
by an issue of convertible bonds t
the amount of $1OO,OOO,OOO par. Il
addition the Oregon Short Line, on
of the controlled companies, issue
bonds for $45,OOO,OOO par. Kuhn

WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.-Aftsr
two sessions of the senate COMMITTEES
on finance today the members OF the
committee were In possession OF a
fair idea Of what shape the AlFich
financial bill will be In when & d
reported next week. II IL said 70 Be
practically certain that the limit or
extra currency which the bill pro-
vides fair will be raised from 925O.-
100000 to $500, 100000 Most OF
the members OF the committee believe
that this figure IL not too high for q
time of emergency, when heavy issue
of currency notes Is demanded on So
curity of the prescribed sort and und-
eT the prescribed tax. The TAI on
the emergency issues will not. u IL
said, be placed higher than per
cent. which the bill now provides.
An amendment offered by Senator
Bailey reducing the required popula-
ton of a county or municipality

expected to receive the support Of q
majority OF the committee. aud ac-
cording to reliable report. will be
adopted. This will permit smaller
towns Of just as great an age and Of
commensurate prosperity with the
larger towns to participate in the
benefits of the measure.
Senator DolliveT will probably Of
fer an amendment In opposition to the
railroad bond feature OF the bill. and
1t may possibly call for the entire el-
limitation OF such securities. Senator
Bailey Will no doubt support him In
such a project, as he does not hesi-
tate to let II be known that he II not
in favor Of railroads being allowed to
file their bonds with the government

is thought to be enough opposition In
the senate, however, TO defeat such

sed by its opponents is that backing
by the goyernmnet, once railroad
bonds are accepted as security for =

insuring the stability OF the cur

A democratic member Of the COM

BLUE GRASS BLADE.
CHALLENGE TO ORTHODOXY.
Truth More Preferable Than Theory-De-
tends Position of Mrs. Blivens.
by VIM. II. Cox

Having just read Susan J. Pecks reply to
Eliza Mowry Blivens' What is Material
list" it has amused me. l like her style of
argument, yet she does not prove anything.
The only thing proven is that p. does not
understand b. b. affiirms the soul dies with
the body The Materialist thinks the Brain
is the Soul and that death levels all. The
Brain, this grand power to think that causes
the body to act, is the lever, the handspring
of the whole body. Destroy this and you
destroy the whole system Destroy this and
Man is an idiot and incapable of a serious
thought.
While | am penning these few lines my
mind fickers about over the country. l can
imagine myself in Cincinnati, Cleveland or st.
Louis, and can wildly see things which l
have seen in those cities in former times.
and yet, know l am right here at my home
and desk. 1t is this grand mental suprem-
acy of all understanding, this "Gray Matter"
which the Materialist considers the Soul.
He has no spirit mixed with it for he does
not believe there is any such thing, and
when the body dies, this Gray Matter, this
great power to think, this greatest and most
sublime part of the human body-Dies.
What evidence have we on the face of the
earth that this is not the truth? l there
fore challenge any man or woman in the world
to prove by and through absolute demonstra-
ton that the Materialist Idea of Death is
wrong, and that the Christian theory of
Life, after death, is positive fact. Death
is sure and certain. But life after death is
only theory. Therefore give me one grain of
absolute truth 20 a whole world of theory.

THE CRYPTIC CIPHER
Criticism of the Theory Advanced by Rev.
Laudenberger on the Gospels.
(By F. B. Hall).

Rev. L. G. Laudenbcrger, of st. Louis, Mo-,
in his letter in the Truth Seeker of February
sth informs us that the gospels are written
in kind of cryptic cipher, a holy trinity
style which men with brains fail to under
stand. This exegetical exponent of divine
mysteries fails to explain how learned men
can make key for the solution of the ci-
pher or how the first man ever solved it.
All he has to say is this: Launch out into
the deep and we shall find.' Poetical enough,
but another cipher, worse than the first, to
explain the direful mystery.
Speaking Of John E. Remsburg's criticisms
Of the Gospels, he says, From the stand
point which he takes, the merely historical
and literal, it cannot be gainsaid that there

many verbal and written congratulations
and those sent by wire to the host attest the
estimation in which Mr.. Rockwell is held by
a legion of friends, who recognize the moral
dignity of his character and his sterling
qualities and usefulness as a citizen. Among
the many congratulations the following lines
were sent by the writer.
To Mr.. Silas Rockwell, on his 92d birthday.
In our daily walk through this work-a-day
world,
We sometimes meet with a man,
Who brings hope and courage to human
hearts,
And helps on the way all he can.
And such man is Silas Rockwell,
Noble, honest and true,
He wears this badge of nobility
The day he is 92.
He has not had time for the gods and the
ghosts,
And the mythical creed of the priest,
He has been too busy with the duties of life,
And bringing the captives release.
He has not had time for dogmas and creeds,
He's been chasing away human fears,
He has not had time to worship god,
He's been drying human tears.
And may he live ninety-two thousand years,
To help those on lifes weary way,
And play a grand role in the drama of life,
In the worlds spectacular play.
So Silas r. we greet you, dear friend,
With gratitude and smile.
For this world is a bloomin' lot brighter,
Because you've been in it awhile.

PROPOSED PAINE CENTENARY.
Suggestion That Freethinkers Hold National
Meeting in Honor of That Patriot And
Revolutionary Hero.
(By James B. Elliott, Secretary


l congratulate you upon the new
dress of the Blade and hope it will
be kept sharp that it can cut down
the weeds of superstition-that you mey be
able to maintain the high standard of Mr..
Chas. Moore. / enclose the programme of our
Paine Celebration in this city-you will OBJ
serve that our speakers have treated this
many sided as-an economist, philoso-
pher, diplomat and inventor. Mr. j. c. Harmon
took his text from Daniel Websters speech
as council for the heirs of Stephen Girard,
in which he stated that Girard was inspired
by the Age of Reason, to found his College.
This speech was published by the American
Tract Society, 1914. AS an antidote for In
fdelity-and to show the pernicious influence
upon Christian Carity-of the works of
Thomas Paine.
The Blade has issued a Paine Number.
Next year will be the centenary of Paines
Death, and the Paine Memorial Association
wishes to have special Commemorative Ser
vices, which will require at least in the
United States, 1000 members, and if the Blade
and the other papers 60 to work now we may
secure that number. At present Kentucky
and many Southern States are not repre-
scented on our list as members.-You will OBJ
serve that our programme contains the very
rare portrait of Thomas Paine painted by
j. w. Jarvis in 1905, when Paine resided with
him-also another portrait-and to make it
especially interesting to Blade readers who are
interested in Paine-We will send the pro-
gramme and blank certificate membership
Containing the portrait of Paine presented
to Independence Hall after a 10 year fight
with pious bgots.
We will send both of the souvenirs for
rs cents while they last We will have but
a few left.
The City of Toronto has a Chas Dickens
Association with 1000 members Where are
all the lovers of Thomas Paine?
No mention of Paines name was made at

Paine that recommended the purchase of the
Louisiana Territory to President Jefferson.

Miracles come when they are needed
They come not of fraud, but they come of
an impassioned credulity which creates
what it is determined to find. Given an en-
thusiastic desire that God should miraculous
ly manifest himself, the religious magma
ton is never at loss for facts to prove that
he has done so; and in proportion to the
magnitude of the interests at stake is the
scale of the miraculous interposition.-J. A.

Wilcox once more came forward gen.
erously, offering the $4,000 asked but
with the proviso that all the money
needed should be on hand before the
first day of October. These amounts
have swelled the fund till now only
$4,000 is needed for the work.
The committee, now that everything
seems to point to a chance to get to
work so soon, has not remained idle.
Tentative plans for the building have
been made and an option obtained on
a most desirable lot of land, situated
on Kuakini street off Nuuanu avenue
The lot contains between four and
five acres and is finely located for the
enterprise.
In speaking of the building, when
asked for information by a Star re-
porter this morning, Judge Dole said:
1--WE have had plans made which ap-
pear to meet with the appreciation of
the members of the committee. There
will be two buildings. The main build
ing will be of reinforced concrete and
will be two stories high. The ground
floor will contain four wards, each of
which will have beds for from four
to six patients, doctors room, baths,
closets and a dining and living room
for the nurses.
"The upper floor will have several
rooms for pay patients, a surgical
ward, two sleeping rooms for nurses
and a large sleeping room for the as
sistant nurses, as well as baths and a
small lift for the sending up of meals
from the lower floor
There will be an l. from the main
building which will be one story high.
1t will contain a large kitchen for
general use and also a smaller kitchen
for the preparing Of special dishes for
the patients. In the basement there
will be a laundry. This will also
be built of concrete
"A ward for contagious diseases will
be in a separate structure We feel
that this is needed and it will be up
to-date in every way There will be
no elevator to the upper floor of the
main building. This was talked over
by the committee and decided against
on the ground that it would be expen-
siye and hardly necessary. As our
patients will be children we will be
able to carry them easily and a wide
stairway which will not be too steep,
viii make this easy,
I'VE hope that local people will
come forward at once with the $4,000
which is needed to complete the fund
which we are trying to raise and then
we can start work at once As things
are going we feel very much encourag-
cd
