Republicans In the House Defeat
Democrats on Question In
volving States Rights.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Vigorous de
fense OF states rights in dealing with
violations of civil rights or with spe'
cial state elections where troops have
been called into service enlivened the
debate Monday In the house of repre-.
sontatives on the bill to cudify the
penal laws OF the United States. A
number of democrats, mostly from
the south, sought by amendment to
reserve to the states themselves dis.
cretion as to the qualifications of vot.
ors or of persons to serve on juries,
and to limit the power of federal
Judges in certain cases, but every at.
tempt failed. The republicans pre-.
sented solid front and defeated

A NEW ATTACK ON
THE PULLMAN CO.
is BEGUN BEFORE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION.
AIS PER CENT CUT IN RATES
Is Sought by Minnesota Men Who
Complain Of the Company's Ar
rogance and Huge Profits
on Watered Stock.

Washington, Jan. 14.--George 8.
LOTUS, of st. Paul. accompanied by
Senator LaFollette, filed with the In.
ter-state commerce commission Mon.
day a petition asking for o reduction
OF 20 per cent in the lower berth
rates of the Pullman company and
the fixing of the rates for upper
berths at one-half that of the lower
berth rate. The reduction is asked
on all Interstate business throughout
the country. Mr.. LOTUS represents
the Minnesota Shippers association,
which started the private car investi-
CATION two years ago and he had the
advice of Senator LaFollette.
Some months ago a complaint was
made against the Pullman company in
regard to rates from northwestern
points. A hearing was had at St.
Paul, at which time the representa-
tives of the company refused to pro-
duce its books or to answer aues-
tions. This resulted in postpone.
ment of the hearing In the mean
time the Shippers association broad
ened its inquiry, with the result that
this petition was filed.
The petition AYERS that the Pullman
company has invested $3.50 900.
while 1t Is capitalized for SIPS, 900 600
and its net earnings are approximate
ly 20 per cent per annum on capital
ization in addition to a surplus, and
that each car, accepting the com
panys estimate OF its cost, pays for
itself every two years.
Because of the unreasonable rates
charged and the abnormal revenue
resulting, the Pullman company Is so
powerful that It now controls the
sleeping car business of the United
States and is so arrogant that 1t de-
MES the right Of the government to
inquire into its earnings or to regu-
late its business"

Fat Women and
HouseWork.

lIIousework Is harder on the stout
woman than It is on her leaner sis
tier for very obvious reasons. Bend
ing over brings on that awful stuffed
|up feeling and causes her face to get
red and coarse lool1ing. AS a result
many fat women, naturally good
|housekeepers, let their homes go
rather than permit the work to make
their lives a misery.
A good many try exercising and
dieting to get rid of the fat, but I
want to say here that II housework
will not take OF your extra flesh,
Exercising can not. Housework is
the most strenuous kind of exercise.
i recommend every woman who
reads this with interest, because II
deals with problems OF her own, to
|give up exercising and dieting as be-
ling bad and injurious. and instead try
the following simple mixture of
household remedies. guarantee that
in a reasonable length of time they
will have lost enough flesh in a
natural, wholesome way to enable
them to go through their houseworls
with pleasure and comfort, to them
selves. This home receipt is as fol-
lows: 1-2 ounce Marmola, IL ounce
Fluid Cascara Aromatic and 3 1-2
ounces Syrup Simplex, and the direc-
tions for taking are one teaspoonful
after meals and at bedtime.
Now, don't make the mistake of
thinking. that because these three
things are simple home remedies. the
combination of them can't be good
for reducing the flesh. for as a matter
OF fact. ] don't believe there is a
better combination for taking off fat
quickly and safely than the one I
have given you above 1t does not
disturb the stomach or cause wrinkles
and It renders dieting and exercising
entirely unnecessary. In addition to
these advantages. which I am sure
you will admit are enough to recon-
mend 1t to any woman. IT is mex
pensive and easily obtainable at any
drug store.

THAW'S counsel
SURPRISES JEROME
6Y PROMISING NEW EVIDENCE
TO PROVE THAW's INSANITY.
THE TRIAL MOVES RAPIDLY.
The Prosecution Presents Its Direct
Evidence and Thaw's Attorney
Makes the Opening Speech
for His Client.

New York, Jan. 14.--The Thaw trial
moved with rush Monday. After
the state had presented its direct case
and Assistant District Attorney Gar
van had characterized the killing of
Stanford White as "a deliberate and
cowardly murder" Martin W. Little
ton. for the defense, made the open
Ing plea for the prisoner. His prom
ise of new evidence was sensational
and held the supreme attention OF all
In the court room. District Attorney
jerome, seemingly taken BY surprise,
seated himself in the witness chair
the better to hear the outline of the
new defense.
Mr. Littleton promised to produce
line of testimony which will prove
Harry X. Thaw undeniably insane at
the time OF the homicide. Evidence
OF hereditary insanity and of strange.
unusual acts of Thaw not even limited
at during the first trial, was told of
by Mr.. Littleton, who said chat ply
sicians and nurses who had attended
Thaw were hurrying here from Eli.
rope; that teachers of the defendant
In childhood would be on hand to give
their Impressions of "the wide-eyed,
distant boy" In conclusion Mr.. Lit
tleton challenged the district attorney
TO produce single reputable physi.
rian who would say that Thaw was
not insane at the time he killed the
noted architect.
Mr.. Littleton's speech fairly bristled
with surprises. He startled the court
room by declaring that after Evelyn
Neshit had told him her story In
Paris In 1903. Thaw "drenched him
self with poison and would have
died but for the heroic work of three
physicians who labored over him all
of one night. Mr. Jerome had his
surprise to offer. too. and when Mr..
Littleton started to launch into the
relations of Stanford White with the
girl whom Thaw married, the district
attorney was on his feet with an OBJ
1ecticn. Justice Bowling sustained
him and the name of the architect
was not linked again with that OF the
defendants wife.
Mr.. Littleton touched but lightly
upon the girls story as she told il to
Thaw, but careful as he was on this
point he again drew an objection
from the prosecuting officer, who
said
mir. Littleton Is now straying into
q field of stuff which in my opinion
will be excluded"
Again Justice Dowliug sustained
the objection. 1t was reported at the
beginning of the trial that Mr.. Je-
rome would fight this year to exclude
the testimony of young Mrs. Thaw.
Mr.. Littleton spared neither Thaw
nor his family in his recital Of the
defendants life history. During the
speech Thaw sat wide-eyed and pal
lid, locking 6xedly ut his counsel.
Toward the close he seemed rather
displeased with something that was
said and leaning forward scribbled
of a note. Mr.. Littletons speech was
somewhat dramatic and impassioned
at times and was keenly followed by
the jury, despite the rather frequent
objections from the district attorney,
who decried the flights of oratory as
having no place in an opening state.

|OHIO TAX SYSTEM 4 FAILURE.
go SAYS A coMMlssloN THAT
INVESTIGATED.
More than Halt the Total Wealth Of
the State Escapes Taxation
The System 10 Unjust.

Columbus, o., Jan. 14.---A commits
sion appointed by the governor to In
vestigate the tax system of the state
and recommend improvements sub
mitted it's report to the legislature
Monday. The report says the men,
bers of the commission were deeply
impressed by the inequalities and In
justice revealed in the operation OF
the existing tax laws of the state.
The general property tax has long
ago served its day. The most deplor-
able of all its consequences is that
which produces an ever increasing
burden upon real property and an
ever diminishing share on personal
property in the support of the govern
ment which gives equal protection to
both. The general property tax is a
failure, for purposes either of revenue
or equality. More than half OF the
total wealth of the state In tangible
property alone escapes taxation. OF
intangible property, such as moneys,
credits, stocks and bonds, subject to
taxation under existing laws, not 10
per cent, perhaps not even per cent,
is listed. The decennial appraisement
of real estate is far too infrequent to
produce fair and equitable Valuations.
The maintenance of a levy for state
purposes upon all real and personal
property and the intermingling of
state and local sources of revenue
produce conflicts between the coun-
ties, concealment of public expendi-
lures and tendency to extravaganza
The methods of taxing corporations
are antiquated and cumbersome.
Franchise values generally escape
taxation, except as to certain classes
OF corporations, and as to them the
law is incapable of adequate enforce
ment. The great number of ex-officio
state boards now administering tax
laws creates confusion, prevents
thoroughness and reduces revenues.
The general complexity of the pres
ent system tends to prevent public
knowledge Of the burdens and Incl
dents of taxation, and the chief suffer
er from these evils Is the citizen
whose possessions are so plainly WIS.,
ible that no device or evasion can Sc
cure their escape.
The commission recommends a con-
stitutional amendment granting broad
er powers to the general assembly
in providing a tax system; the estab
lishment of state tax board the
more frequent appraisement of real
estate; the abolishment OF the present
state levy and the separation of state
and local revenues, and the giving of
authority to the local communities to
secure publicity In taxation.
