T'AF''S DOUBLE AAs.
Fy I! AND

+ Washingtou,N Nov, 23.-If, you re.
sambled the President OF the United
States SO closely that persons ON the
street thought you were the chief
executive when you came to Wash
ington, wouldn't you feel battered?
And If almost every man you met
tipped his hat and said, Good morn
ing. Mr.. President" and you created
a cuinmotion when you got. on street
car, wouldn't you begin to swell up
and pat yourself on the chest? St.
But 'supposing you were a very
busy man who had come to Washing
ton strictly on business and had to
shake hands on every street corner
and explain that you were really just
a private citizen, wouldn't you get
tired OF having your right arm used
as pump handle? !,

around and looked at you because
they thought the President had
donned oyeralls and was wrestling
with a paint ,brushrto reduce his
avoirdupois, and stared at you like
you were the big show, wouldn't you
think that it was time to take to the
tall timbers? .. o..
Anyway, that's what John F..
Rhoads, OF Philadelphia, decided this
morning, after he had put the final
stroke on one Of the pillars Of the
porte cochere at the main entrance
of the White House. MIR. Rhoads,
as far as looks gos issPresident Taft's
double, and looks so much like the
President that he could easily pass
off as his twin brother. :
Just before the President got back
from his 13,000-mile trip, party OF
Tourists appeared at the White House
one morning before the gates were
opened to the public. Seeing Rhoads

RABBIT IS BROUGHT
BACK TO LIFE AGAIN

New York, Nov. 23.-That DR..
Louise G.. RoMnovitch, the young
Russian woman who came to this
country recently from France, can
recall the dead and start again the
machinery of the heart and lungs is
almost believed today by commit
tee of medical men who watched
her experiment with rabbit.
Killed by strong electric cur
rent, the little animal was brought
back to life by the simple electrical
machine Of the young Russian doctor
and today It is hopping about the
yard AS healthy, apparently, as be-
fore it stopped breathing. What
she did with the rabbit, she can do
with men who have been killed In
electrical accidents, she declares.
In the presence Of q large num-
Der Of medical men, DR.. Robinovttch
turned on an electric current which
killed the rabbit. Doctors could
find no trace Of breathing or Of
heart action. Then, by rythmetic
electric excitations Of tho heart and
lungs, the rabbit was coaxed back
to life.
The officials Of the Edison Elec~
trio company consider the discovery
most important and will develop 1t.

GOVERNMENT READY:;TO
:. PROBE: WIRE MERGER \ + {;

Washington, Nov. 23.-Should the
department Of Justice decide to
make an investigation of the recent
merger OF the Western Union com
pany with the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, in which
Mackay, the owner Of the Postal
Telegraph, Is the largest stakeholder
IT will find great deal of material
already on hand.
Because Of numerous complaints
from different sections Of the coun-
try, but especially from the West, to
the effect that telephone companies
were violating the Sherman anti
trust law by endeavoring to estab-
l1sh monopolies through the absorb
ton Of the smaller concerns, the
senate year ago instructed the sec
rotary OF commerce and labor to
make an investigation into all OF
the telegraph and telephone com
panies doing an interstate business,
with the view of ascertaining their
relations to the public, the condition
or, their employees, and their receipts
and expenses. The bureau Of cor
poratton has been at work upon this
and expects to make O preliminary
report to congress at the coming ses-
sion.
1t is said that the investigation
has shown that the American Tele-
phone company, otherwise known as
the Bell company, has been the
worst alleged offender in the mat
ter Of swallowing smaller compa-
MES, by which means it has so firm
ly established itself in some OF the
States as to have practically abso-
lutte control Of communication by
telephone there that 1T fixes It's own
rates without fear Of competition.
If, through its acquired control Of
the Western Union, it can now also
practically monopolize Geographic
communication In those States, as 1s
feared. there would be good reason
for the government to act upon
nome Of the complaints that it has
received.
Some Of the evidence in hand Is
said to show that there exists q COM
munity Of interests at least between
the Bell Telephone companies, the
General Electric company and the
Electric company, II
not an actual com bination to main
tain prices on electrical instruments
and supplies.

MRS. MAGGIE l.. WALKER FINED
Charged With Receiving Children i'm

nouncement that warrant had been
sworn out for Mrs. Maggie L. Walker
r. w. G. Secretary of the r. w. G.
/. 0. st. Luke, by the actuary Of the
bureau Of insurance upon the charge
Of having violateTthe insurance laws
in three cases by taking children I'M
der sixteen years of age in the order
Of St. Luke.
The case was called in the police
court last Wednesday morning. Mrs.
Walker pleaded guilty and was fined
twenty dollars in each case, making
sixty dollars in all. There was no
specific crime on the part Of Mrs.
Walker. She had been warned to
observe the law in that particular.
She overlooked it in these cases and
as result found herself in the tolls
Of the law.
No organization Issuing policies
Of insurance is now permitted to re-
ceive children and this has embar-
raised those who have carried the
little ones for so many years upon
their books. No applications can
now be received or money paid into
the treasures Of an order and all
such children which are now carried
in the Juvenile department, when
they become unidentified will be
barred from re-entering the depart
ment OF which they were members. |
