PARESIS PLEA FAILS
IN WARRILL CASE

In the case of Mrs. Carrie Worrill, of
Lumpkin, Ga, and the British-American
Mortgage company, in which Mrs. Worrill
as administrative for her husband re-
fused to pay a loan of more than $4,000
made by her husband before his death, on
the charge that her husband was insane,
Judge Newman filed a decision in the
clerks Office of the United States on
Monday morning. which is in favor OF
the mortgage company, and in which he
saws that from the testimony Worrill
was capable Of making a contract.
This practically sustains the ruling OF
Standing Master Coetchf1s, Of Column
bus, from whom the case was appealed
to Judge Newman on certain exceptions;
and Mrs Worrill thereby loses her case
in regard to all contentious made by her
counsel.
In 1908 B. D. Worrill, husband of Mrs.
Carrie Worrill, obtained a loan of some

was legally declared a lunatic, and in
1905 he died. In February, 1905, Mrs.
WorriI entered a plea for years sup
port, and refused to pay the loan made
by her husband on the ground that he
was insane when he made the contract,
whereupon the mortgage company brought
suit.
The defense was grounded on the two
claims, that Worrill was insane and that
the wifes right were superior to those
Of her husband. The defense claimed
that Worrin was suffering from paresis,
a form of insanity which gradually in
creases its hold upon the mind by the
hardening Of the brain cells. In the
trial here 20 witnesses swore that Wor-
rilI was insane, while 19 testified to his
sanity Judge Newman's decision rec
ognizes the insanity of Worrill, but says
that at the time of the making of the
contract he was legally capable Of look
ing after his interests.
1t is said that the contract made by
Worrin was an unusually good one,
fact which must have mad weight in de-
termining the final decision.

ROOSEVELT TARGET
FOR BITTER REPLY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The approp-
riations committee of the senate has in
structed Senators Hemingway, Clay and
Gallinger to prepare a reply to the state
ment given out by President Roosevelt,
in answer to the committees structure
upon him relative to the use Of the secret
service.
The members of the appropriations
committee feel outraged at Mr.. Roose-
velts public statement, and the reply to
be framed by Senators Hemingway,
Clay and Gallinger will bristle with SEN
sational charges against the chief execu-
tive. The reply will be ready during the
latter part Of the week, and will be given
to the press next Saturday or Monday.

senator today, in discussing the contro-
versy between the appropriation commit
tee and the president. The subcommittee,
upon which devolves the work of answer
ing the presidents letter, held a meeting
today and outlined the statement to be
given out.
Members Of the subcommittee are reti-
cent as to the nature of the statement
but it is said that Mr.. Roosevelt will be
handled with gloves off, although sena-
torial dignity will be respected in so fal
as the language is concerned.
The statement will charge that Presi'
dent Roosevelt was wrong in practically
every statement he made in his letter, anc
that he knew that he was wrong when ne
wrote the letter. An effort will be made to
demonstrate and convince the public thai

ployed and the money expended by each
The committee will not stop with the
reply to the president, but the investiga-
ton will be continued during the extra
session, and from time to time the people
will be informed through the press of tho
progress being made.
The "secret service committee" OF the
house which has been silent for some
weeks and almost forgotten, is also prim'
ing for the president and will take a

RATES AND WATERWAYS.

The shippers of the United State
cannot rid themselves entirely of tn,
impression that the railroads contem
plate a general advance in freight
rates in the near future. That which
put 1t in their heads was the publiea
4 ton and wide distribution by the
roads of a pamphlet setting forth the
greatly increased cost of operation
the higher wages and the rise in the
price OF supplies of nearly all kinds
| The shippers jumped at the conclus.
ion that this was meant to Justify an
impending advance in rates. The nos.
Iitive assurances of the president of
the Pennsylvania road that nothing OF
the kind was contemplated did not
Danish their fears.
The president of the New York Cen

The shippers of the country, bear

their commodities much cheaper

lack of enthusiasm among many of
those in the Mississippi Valley. The
attendance at the lakes 10 the gulf

that. But there should be a more gem
eral realization OF the unwisdom of,
absolute dependence on railroads
whose facilities at times would be
utterly inadequate. Then the shippers
would have but one string to their
bow, whereas they ought to have two.
But in order to get more serviceable
waterways with lower transportation
rates, which would tend to keen
down rail rates, they must approach
with united front and a
matured, feasible plan. The

above the pollen pouches (al situated

are taken it is determined that the
stamens of one flower are on a level
with tips of the pistils in the other,
and the pistil tips are as high as the
stamens in the other flower.
Buekwheat flowers are frequented
by bees for the honey they secrete in
abundance from eight yellow glands
at the base af the stamens These
insects go rapidly from flower to
flower and do not confine their at
tention to one sort. 1t may be that
the bees make no distinction. and
there is no apparent reason that they
should, as both abound in nectar. 1t
is easy to see that a large insect
like the honey bee. in visiting such
flowers. would have one portion of its
body busted with pollen from the short
stamens and another with that from
the long stamens, and at the same
time it brushes the pollen of each

TYPES OF suckwHEAT FLOWERS

Important Lesson Drawn From
Their Study.
The blossoms of the common field
buckwheat furnish an interesting IL
lustration of two distinct forms of
flowers in the same species or kind of
plant. For example, one buckwheat
plant will have all its blossoms of
one type and another plant will bear
flowers which differ materially from
the first, but are very uniform among
themselves. In other words. the flow
ers OF any one plant are all alike in
structure, but when all buckwheat
plants are considered there are two
distinct kinds. These two sorts are
found in about equal numbers upon
any large area of ground: in short,
they are intimately associated in the
field, but. because of the smallness of
the blossoms, are not usually distin.
guished There is. however. an impor-
tant lesson Of general application to
be drawn from consideration of the
two types of the buckwheat flower.
