The Thirteen Superstition.

According to reliable authorities the
popular superstition that attaches to
the number 10 owes its origin to the
story of The Last Supper" For I'M
reckoned centuries the superstition
has been universal that II IS persons
sit down to a meal az the same table
one of them will die before the year
is out. This doubtless comes from
the Biblical feast when Christ sat
down at table with his IL disciples.

GREAT INTEREST IN EAST.

New York, Sept. 20.-Not since
the late Senator Hanna Of Ohio
was lowering between life and
death in his hotel rooms in WASH
ington has there been such intense
interest displayed in the progress
of disease as there is today
throughout the entire east in the
condition OF Gov. John A. john
son, who is battling for his life in
the hospital in Rochester, MINI.
All Of the newspapers carry coll
umns of the progress of his Illness
while sympathetic crowds wait
anxiously for the latest bulletins
in the vicinity or the newspaper
offices.
Governor Johnson is dear to the
common people. They know that
he is essentially a self-made man
and many persons who do not, as
a general thing, believe in prayer,
are silently praying that the gov
ernor will pull through.
Their sympathy has been in
creased by the action of Johnson
in disregarding his own serious
condition to telegraph welcome
to President Taft.

WOMAN SUBJECTED
TO AWFUL ORDEAL
NEW YORK POLICE PUT HER
THROUGH THIRD DEGREE"
IN ITS MOST TYPICAL
FORM.

New York Sept. 20.-Following the
story told last night by Mrs. Irving A.
Nelson as she was put through the
gruelling third degree beside the body
of her husband, a democratic poll
tician, whose body, riddled with buck
shot, was found near his home at Cen
trail Islip, r. l., Thursday morning
Mrs. Nelson and Augustus Schwartz,
a boarder in her home, are being held
by the police today in an effort to
solve the mystery.
The police have learned that while
Nelson and his wife lived together
they had entered into an agreement
that each should do exactly as he or
she pleased.
1t was under an agreement of this
kind that Schwartz entered the Mel
son home as a boarder while Nelson
attended dances with other women
whenever he so wilIed.
The frightful ordeal through which
Mrs. Nelson was put lasted for two
hours after midnight, and was prob
ably the most typical example of the
police methods of "1ird degree" work
held for long time.
The lights in the room where the
coffin was placed were turned low and
the room was almost iT darkness when
the cover was removed from the conn
and the woman and Schwartz. without
warming, were ushered into the pres
ence Of the dead
Two chairs were placed at the head
Of the coffin. Mrs Nelson and
Schwartz were ordered to occupy
them. For two hours District Attor-
.ney Furman and Coroner Savage piled
them with questions
AT the beginning Mrs Nelson was
calm and unperturbed But as the
minutes passed and she gazed into
the face of the dead man at her side
she broke down completely Schwartz
maintained his indifference.

THE IMPORTANT POINTS IN
TAFTs DIES MONIES SPEECH

The president announced in his
speech at Des Moines today that he
would urge an Interstate commerce
court Of five members to consider APP
peals from the rates fixed by the In
terstate commerce commission.
He will also recommend legislation
to prevent one interstate railroad COM
pany from owning stock In oompet-
ing line and compelling roads, thus
owning stock to dispose Of their hold
ings within a given time.
Legislation TO prevent the over is
sue Of stocks and bonds and the wa
terins Of stocks win be strongly rec
Ommended.
The presidents proposition being
that no stocks or bonds shall ~be is-
sued except by permission Of the in
ter-stats commerce commission after
an inquiry has been made into their
necessity.
Giving TO the shippers the choice Of
routes in the shipment Of freight is
another important provision which the
president favora.
In taking up the antitrust law,
President Taft declared that he knew
Of no way in which distinction could
be made between "sood" and "bad''
trusts, for he regarded all eombina-
tions to suppress competition and to
maintain a monopoly to be in the
same category, whether the terms Of
the illegal contract should be regarded
in some instances as reasonable" or
unreasonable"
The presidents also discussed at some
length The proposal 70 except labor
unions and farmsrs' organizations

law.
