BOOKS MUTILATED.
District Attorney Is Having Trouble
Prosecuting Heinz Case.

New York, May 2S-Representin
to the court that the books of the
United Copper company had been mu-
t1lated by some one while in the pro-
cess of examination by representa-
tives of his office, federal District At
torney Wise today asked and secured
from United States Judge Lacombe
an order for the production of the
company's books in court without
further mutilation.
The inspection was being made in
behalf of the federal grand jury
which is investigating the alleged mis-
application of the funds of the Mer-
camille National bank by F. Augustus
Heinz. 1t was ordered that the books
be produced in court this afternoon.
In applying for the order District At
torney Wise told the court that before
the examination of the United Copper
company's books had been completed
by the grand jury, 1S or 20 pages were
found to have been torn from them.
Directors Sanford Robinson, Carter
Glass, William J. Curtis and Morris,
and Assistant Secretary-Treasurer
Frederick Eckstein We're called be-
fore the grand jury today. the district
attorney stated. but were unable to
give the information desired. Mr..
Wise said that the grand jury had I'M
animously recommended that they
all be punished for contempt. Mr..
Heinz's name had been included in
the application made by Mr.. Wise to-
day, but Judge Lacombe decided not
to summon him, stating that claim
for immunity might be credited if he
did so.

Mayor Green Says Ordinance in Ques-
ton Was Ordered Drawn Long Ago.

Mayor Green Says Ordinance in Ques-
ton Was Ordered Drawn Long Ago.
Mayor Green and Chief Eaton of the
police force deny a story that they
have been together lately and have
framed, up an ordinance for the pur-
pose of replying legally to the Topeka

week ago.

ordinance in question was ordered
drawn in April when the last liquor
law went into effect and the city at
torney has been working on it ever
since-it is now ready for the next
meeting of the city council and was
turned over to the mayor last even
ing.
1t is further claimed by the city Of
ficials that the mayor and the chief of
police have had nothing to do with the
framing up of the ordinance. The city
attorney has been drawing it up to con-
form with the state, laws for some
time.
The clause of the ordinance in ques-
ton which is hitting -at the clubs over
the city reads 49,

HABITS BREED INSANITY.
So Says DR.. Crafts and Names Alco-
hol as Chief Cause.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 20.-That condi-
tions of American life promote insan-
ity and that heredity, alcohol and a
special group of diseases are rapidly
increasing the number of insane per-
sons in proportion to the total pop
ulation were statements made
by DR.. Leo NJ. Crafts of Minneapolis
before the Mississippi Valley Medical
association.
DR.. Crafts, giving figures for states
which he said were typical, showed the
extent to which insanity had increased
in this country during the past genera
ton The insane percentage of Illi-
nois as typical of this section, he said,
in the past thirty years has increased
four times as rapidly as the population.
Other states and sections were no bet
ter off, he said.
According to DR.. Crafts, other coun-
tries were developing insanity through
American habits. Since Japan adopted
western methods of doing things the
proportion of insane persons in that
empire has rapidly increased. The ne
gro was also pointed to as furnishing
another example of a race incapable
of adoption of American methods and
environment without an increase in
the number of those who go crazy.

that President Taft is experiencing so
much seeming unpopularity is because
he is poor advertiser. President
Taft makes no effort to explain his
motives or to see to it that his adj
dresses are made at the most oppor-
tune times. No one doubts that Presi.
dent Taft is absolutely honest that he
is the most thoroughly developed and
well trained of all our Presidents, and
that eventually he will make good
with every one. But If he more
thoroughly understood the principles
of advertising as II is understood by
Roosevelt, La Toilette, Bryan and
others, he would be very much more
popular than he now is.
