AMERICAN NERVOUSNESS
ITS CAUSE AND CURE

Americans have the reputation
Of being a nervous race; and there
s no doubt that such is actually
the truth.
Now as to the causes for this
national nervousness, often called
'Americanitis," some. believe.
are climatic, some social and 9TH
srs physical. In the first place, it
must not be forgotten that white
men now on this continent are
mainly Europeans or their de-
scendants. These whites are the
product of European climatic con-
ditions entirely different to those
Of North America, whose indigen-
Gus human product Is the red In
dian.
Thus, in a sense, the European
is dramatically an outlander on this
continent; and this lack of inherit
ed fitness for the climate is un-
doubtedly factor in the product
on of many diseases-nervousness

President Taft, Senator AID
rich and Secretaries Mac
veagh and Knox Get To-
gether at the White House.
GO OVER SITUATION
AND DISCUSS MEASURE
Senate Boss States That Defi-
nitions of Maximum and
Minimum Rates Are Not
Sufficiently Clear.
BY William Hoster.

Washington, March 2O.-President
Taft today called Senator Aldrich,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, into conference at the White
House on the Payne tariff bill. In ad-
dition to Senator Aldrich there were
present Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh, and Secretary Knox. The
tariff situation was gone over and the
merits Of the Payne bill were thrashed
out. Some understandings were
reached. There will be fprther confer
ences. Today's CONFERENCE was the
first move of the President in his plan
to reconcile all the conflicting ele-
ments on tariff billy that it may be
passed quickly by both house and SEN
ate and enacted intb law. BY this
plan the President will. to a great ex.
tent. disarm the senate and will, at
the same time, facilitate the speedy
enactment of tariff revision bill
''downwards" and in line with what he
believes the people demand.
Discuss the Features.
Today's conference was largely for
discussion of maximum and mini.
mum features of the Payne bill. Sen.
ator Aldrich is an expert authority on
treaty regulations referring to-. com.
merce between the United States and
all other nations and their colonies
1t is understood that Senator Aldrich
complained that the Payne bill is not
sufficiently clear as to what is meant
by maximum and minimum rates. The
senator impaired to the President his
ideas on the meaning OF maximum
and minimum rates and he conveyed
the broad hint that it will be desira
BILE to rewrite that portion of the bill
which touches upon maximum and
minimum. Presumably Senator Aid
maximum and minimum clause. The
senator referred particularly to Ger
many and declared that it was abso
lutely necessary to have the maximum
and minimum clauses clear and ex
plicit in that they may be wholly in
telligible to manufacturers and export
ers. 1t was developed at the con
ference, also. that neither Senator
Aldrich nor Secretary MacVeagh is al
together satisfied that the bill is the
sufficient revenue producer it is ex
pected to be by Mr.. Payne.

Because DIR. ]. n. Hurry. secretary OF

microbes are very interested. They
feel as il the microbe posterity may

business with the attorney general to-
day and left for Chicago this evening.
These attorneys called on the presi-
dent this afternoon and while it is
stated that the Visit was one Of cour-
tesy the report around the white
house is that the president discussed
with these gentlemen the important
litigation in which their offices is con-
cerned. As it has been stated from
time to time that President Taft
would probably abandon the Standard
Oil cases. the definite statement was
made this evening that nothing could
be further from the truth than such
a statement. 1t will be recalled that
when the cases were decided in favor
of the Standard Oil company by Judge
Anderson directing verdict of acQuit-
tai, Mr.. Wickersham gave out q for
NAL non-committal statement that
the Standard cases would not be
dropped. and that the department
would also enter upon the discovery
of ways and means by which the
Standard Oil could be brought into
court and dealt with successfully.

stated today sent for Mr.. Sims and
Mr. Wilkerson and conferred with
them and Assistant Attorney General
Wade Ellis, who has charge of the
preparation of bills Of proceedings. 1t
is repeated today that Mr.. Ellis will
report to the attorney general, on
data furnished him yesterday and to-
day by Messrs. Sims and Wilkerson,
what form the proceedings shall have.
The report of Mr.. Ellis will, of course,
be the report of Attorney General
Wickersham when it finally reaches
the president. its ultimate destina-
tion. The attorney general kept
Messrs Sims and Wilkerson here for
two days in order that he should be-
come acquainted not only with oil
cases, but the other cases on the Chi
cago court records. The attorney
general will in a day or two make an
announcement with reference to one
or two cases pending in that office.

Was Too Large . Beat.
So far as territory was concerned
the west side beat was the largest in
the city. 1t extended from the river
to the city limits, which include part
of the Earlham college campus
and from the southern boundary near
the King place on the Arlington pike
north to School street. A part Of this
section is unimproved and there are
no sidewalks. The beat has been SO
large that 1t has bene absolutely i'm
possible for one man even to patrol
every street and about the most he
could do was to walk transversely
across it, from the National road to
School street. The task was too much
to permit proper protection to the
property interests.
+, There had been an impression spread
In the down town district that II Stau-
bach were named chief. he would be

of the laws was expected. But Stau-
bach says mo" and it is belived he
will enforce his promise to carry out
the letter of the law.
