BITTERNESS IN
WHITLEY CASE

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Repre-
sentative DENLY has represented Judge
Wolfley at the Lorrin Andrews hear
ings, which were held to determine
whether prima facie case could be
made against the judge. He put Mr..
Andrews, the witness, under a severe
examination, and yesterday Judge Will
fey conducted a cross-examination
calculated to break down the charges
made against him. In these hearings
Mr.. Andrews was defended by Mr..
Waldo.
The New York Representative and
Judge Whitley had never met. Repre-
sentative DENLY thought it would be
pleasant to have them do so. After
the hearing he asked his colleague If
he had met the judge.
mo, l haven't" said Mr.. Waldo.
The judge was standing near by.
Judge Wiley" said Mr.. DENLY, w-.o
used to be in China himself, II want
you to meet Representative Waldo"
Il am very glad to meet YOU" said
the judge, as he extended his hand.
But Mr.. Waldo looked through the
hand and did not grasp it. He moved
away. Judge Whitley declared he had
never received such an insult in his
life. Mr.. DENLY said he would never
again introduce Mr.. Waldo to a friend
OF his as long as he lived.
This shows the feeling between the
prosecutor and defendant in the trial
before the subcommittee composed of
Representatives Moon, of Pennsylva-
mia, Diekema, of Michigan, and Webb,
of North Carolina.
Part Of the committee session yes
terday was taken up in efforts by Mr..
DENLY, prompted constantly by Judge
Wiley, to have Mr.. Andrews confess
that moral conditions among the lower
classes Of the American residents in
Shanghai were so disgracefully loose
that everything American lost caste by
the notoriety. Mr.. DENLY, coached by
a descriptive article in a popular mag
azine, asked If it was not true that so
fragrant was the Lire in Shanghai of
low women claiming American citizen

The Labor Day Celebration

in Palestine has demonstrated this
fact: When the people of any COM
munity get united and work for a
specific end and purpose, success is
the natural result. Now, SUCCESS
is what is desired in any undertaking
by set of honest men. Why cannot
many good industrial enterprises be
built up in this community, by the
united efforts of our local people?
The success Of building and loan as
sociations, where small sums are con-
tributed by large number of people,
plainly shows that Industrial enter
prises can be promoted in the same
way. Of course, the results would be
longer in coming, but the purpose
would be accomplished just the same.
Local people often wish to make more
money. They sigh for greater oppor-
tunities, and overlook the development
of home industries in reach of them
because they do not take hold and do
for themselves. The Labor Day cele-
bration is a fine lesson for us, and if
we will do so we can carry some fea-
lures of it into the organization of
some industrial proposition which will
benefit us locally. Will we do it?

complete. The Byrne Simplified
Shorthand, as taught at the Tyler
| Commercial College of Tyler, Texas,
, is far superior, more modern in every
| way; it is system that is easy to
learn and has often been mastered
by youngsters from 9 to IL years of
age. Where the Pitmanic and other
systems have over 500 rules, almost
500 exceptions and thousands of word
signs to be committed to memory,
also a phonetic language to master,
the Byrne Simplified writes the Eng
lish language as it is written and
spoken in every day use, with but the
rs letters of the alphabet, 13 short
rules, no exceptions and IS word
signs to be memorized. 1t takes one
with giant memory to become an
expert stenographer with the other
systems, while with the Byrne SIM
plified, practically anyone has suffi-
ciont memory to handle it successful
ly. The illegibility of the old systems
is due to the students unfamiliarity
with the phonetic language, his in
ability to apply the 500 rules or some
of the many exceptions properly, his
failure to execute accurately the COM
plicated outlines required in writing
words with these systems. With the
Byrne Simplified, reading is an easy
matter, and one who could read print
should have no trouble in
learning to read the Byrne Simplified
with accuracy. In the first place, he
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1908-09-16

writes the English language as his
mother taught him to speak it, and
not a phonetic language as hard to
learn as Latin. Next, he uses charac-
tiers representing the 26 letters of
the English alphabet, which together
with the IS short rules and IS word
signs, enable him to write anything in
the English language. There is not a
word that can be set in type or writ

systems.
The other systems are incomplete
inasmuch as the basic principles are
so deficient and incomplete that the
thousands of word signs, hundreds Of
rules and exceptions must be brought
into use to supply the deficiencies.
The Byrne Simplified is the most COM
plete system in use. inasmuch as it
is more like the &c letters of the

to the fighting line At that time he
began his railroad career by becoming
the agent of the st. Paul & Pacific
railway. He recognized the possibili-
ties of the road although, at that
time, it was in wretched financial
and physical condition. He interested
some Canadian bankers in his plan and
gradually acquired the securities of
the road, which was renamed the St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail
road. Hill started on an aggressive
policy and invaded the rich wheat ter
ritory, with the Pacific coast as the
| ultimate terminal. In 1898 came the
formal opening of the Great Northern
line, from Duluth to the Pacific.
Since that time Hill has expanded
his railroad interests wisely and with
daring conservatism. 1t is character
istic that Hill does not tolerate the
splitting up of profits on his roads.
He controls the dining and sleeping
car privileges on his. roads as well as
every other privilege connected with
transportation and including grain ell
evators along the wheat roads. His
methods were entirely different from
those in vogue on the other railroads
and won for him the reputation of be-
ing close and stingy man. 1t is
true, he practices the strictest ecen-
omy in conducting his railroads, but
in other respects he has always been
quite liberal. On his four thousand
acre estate near this city he has for
many years conducted one of the fin
est sctock farms in the country at
great expense. He has probably the
finest collection of paintings owned by
a private individual in this country
and has collection of diamonds and |
other gems valued at more than two |
million dollars. His two sons, who
are also in the railroad business, give
promise of developing into worthy sue
cessors of their father.
