you ask me as to the so-called CON
flict of Jurisdiction between the state and
the United States courts. No one on either
side of the Ease questions the fact but
that the cases were first brought in the
United States courts in Kansas City in the
spring or summer of 1905.
Right or wrorg-I believe, right held
in June, 1907. that the entire subject mat
ter was still pending in the United States
courts at Kansas City, ~whereupon l al
lowed supplemental bills to be filed carry
ing forward the statutes OF 1907 both as to
freight and passenger rates.
1T is an elementary rule of law that the
court which had taken jurisdiction of a
subject matter retains that Jurisdiction
until the final end and that other courts
cannot intervene"

American Rich
Too Free, Says
Italian Savant
State Lacks Powers to Curb Wealth
Because of Fears of
Forefathers.

PARIS, May 1.-THE observations on the
United States of America by Guglielmo
Ferrero, the Italian historian, which are
appearing in the Figaro, are attracting
much attention. Signor Ferrerro finds
that the immense power welded by the
rich in America is due to their untram-
meled activity, particularly as compared
to Europe, where the state retains more or
less control of all enterprises. The free
dom of private initiative In America the
distinguished Italian attributes to the fact
that fear of the state was the underlying
principle OF the American constitution.
The founders Of the republic, Ferrero
says, were imbued with the French phil
osophy Of the eighteenth century. and they
could not foresee the formidable forces
which would emerge from the development
Of the gigantic resources OF the land. AS
a result the American millionaire occupies
a different position. lie assumes RESPONSE
bilities which in Europe fall upon the state
and with responsibility comes power,
owing to the weakness of the state in
America all the superior intellectual and
moral life of the country, scientific as well
as religious, is falling gradually under the
influence Of the wealthy classes" Yet
this state of affairs, Signor Ferrero af-
firms, is not as monstrous as is believed
in Europe, where the difference between
the state and the forces of capital in
America are not understood.

Mr.. BROWN ARRESTS BROWN
Latter IN Accused of Being Too jolly
for the NeiGhbOrs on
Sunday.

A study in brown was painted on the
police record book Monday evening when
]. G. Brown, who lives at 1887 North Nine
teenth street, was booked and Patrolman
Browns name was entered az that of the
arresting officer.
II is said that Brown was disturbing the
peace and quiet of the city by lettering on
the sidewalk at Thirteenth and Douglas
streets, and that he further annoyed the
neighborhood by refusing to perambulate to
other regions when politely requested to do
so by officer Brown.
Such naughty conduct would not be
countenanced by the public at large or the
policeman at small.
When Brown was arraigned in court and
charged with disturbing the peace by
lettering, he was told never to do such a
thing again and then released.

TARSUS, Asiatic Turkey, Saturday,
April 24.-Via Constsn tinople, May A.
Authentic details of the atrocities COM
mitted by the ~fanatical M~ohammedans in
the villages and farms in this district are
now coming into Tarsus with slckening
abundance. The worst particulars Of these
narratives cannot be mentioned, but they
set forth without doubt that at least 1000
persons lost their lives in this province
and some estimates place the total casual
ties at 5000. Villages like Osmanieh,
Bazsiche, Hamadieh, Kara, Kristan, Keoy
and Kezolook were actually wiped out
Each of these places had populations Of
from 500 to 500 people. In one town of
1900 people there are less than 100 left,
nearly all women and children. 1t was the
same thing with the hundreds of chift-
likes, or farms, that dot this wide and
fertile plain. The slaughter was unspar-
ing. Even Greeks and Syrians we're struck
down with the Armenians. Entire families
were burned to death In their homes. Hun
dreds of girls and women were maltreated
and carried off to the harems.
The correspondent was informed that at
one place a party of 300 Armenians sur
rendered to the soldiers. The prisoners
were taken to an open field, where the
women were ordered to stand apart from
the men, Every one of the men were then
shot. In many cases they were done to
death with their women clinging to them,
trying to save their lives. A large number
of women were wounded because Of their
persistence.
Sixty men who were brought down into
this district from Hadjin are now held as
slaves.
Young Turks around Tarsus are trading
today Armenian girls for horses and mod
ern repeating rifles. The entire ten days
seem TO have been an insensate orgy of
lust and violence In the name of race
and religion. In the massacres of fourteen
years ago there was no such desire to kill
women and children as has been evidenced
in the last ten days. There have been nu-
merous instances of the numbering of
women and children with elaboration and
there are other instances where women
were brought out and shot down one by
one, the ~bystanders clapping their hands at
each fresh execution.
The local authorities are giving today
cents a day for each refugee in Tarsus.
The government allotment is being supple
mented from funds of the American mis-
sion. The local officials say they are soon
going to discontinue their contributions,
and IL this is done there will be a famine.
Vhe yard Of the American mission house
looks like a prison pen. When the captain
of a French man-of-war at Mersina came
up to Tarsus with a number OF officers on
a visit he called at the mission house. My
God" he said. this is terrible. Where do
all these people sleep?
The men wander around all night trying
to keep warm. The women and children
sleep at night on the floors Of the school
rooms. Few of them have beds.
In the meantime the Moselms. in the
wasted country round about. are pasturins
their horses and cattle on the green crops
of their Armenian victims.

Something Of the necessity Of more work

that tuberculosis causes the death of 800

expenses to our citizens.
Or. Ward of the medical department OF
the University Of Nebraska. says unless
conditions are changed In Nebraska be-
fore 1925, the city Of Lincoln alone will
sacrifice 20Oo school children because Of
tuberculosis and the state OF Nebraska
5000 young people"
Dr.. Sward charges that many of the
state institutions are the homes OF people
with tuberculosis, who arc giving it to
others because the legislature has not ap-
propriated sufficient funds properly to care
for the unfortunates and sesregate them
from other patients and inmates.

II only say replied Mr.. Aldrich, that
the men trying to destroy this tariff are
still doing business at the old stand
II am not trying to destroy this tariff
retorted Mr.. Dolliver. II hope to leave 1t
a republican tariff that can be defended in

Saying the senator from Rhode Island had
hurt his feelings by this criticism, Mr..
Deliver added: He desired apparently to
put me outside the breastworks, where so
many good people have persisted, for want
of ventilatlon; but, = he. said, despite criti-
cism he proposed TO pkrpetuate the work
of others who had formerly attempted to
revise these schedules" Mr.. Dolliver de-
clared he was for the Dingley cotton sched-
uleand inquired Of Mr.. Aldrich whether the
cotton manufacturers when before the
house committee had not said they did not
want these rates increased.
Mr.. Aldrich said he did not know what
had taken place before that committee,
When Mr.. Deliver had spoken for three

quested that he suspend until tomorrow

run for six hours. Mr.. Dolliver agreed,
but Mr.. Aldrich added that discussion of
the bill would go on nevertheless. After
numerous appeals from the South Caro-
Imam. Mr.. Aldrich yielded. but he gave
notice that the country was waiting for
the final passage of the bill and said that
better progress must be made and there
fore the sessions hereafter would be longer
Reply of Mr.. AIJrich.
Briefly answering some of Mr.. Delivers
criticisms regarding the cotton schedule,
Mr.. Aldrich charged that some Of the
samples Of goods held up as exhibits had
been furnished by importers who had de-
stroyed the cotton schedules by obtaining
decisions by the Board of General APP
praisers until the protection OF sixty per
cent had been reduced to five and six per
cent. He denied that the cotton schedule
Of the senate bill was different in any re-
spect from the DingIey bill except that the
| specific rates were substituted for the al
valorem rates.
To that response Mr. Deliver replied
that he did not intend to conceal from the
senate the identity of those who had ad-
vised him, So far as the sample pieces OF
goods referred TO was concerned he said
ut was given 60 me by as bright a mer-
chant as there is in America, who is none
the less entitled to my respect because he

port of the candidacy. of President Taft"
Mr.. Aldrich sarcastically remarked that
he had no doubt that 'these good men,
these respectable men, have interests In
this matter which are entirely antagonlstiC
to the people of this country"
When Mr.. Dolliver took his seat his col
league, Mr.. Cummins, warmly %congratu'
lated him.

waIksr Case Decision Upheld.

Denver.-The United States Su-
preme Court Monday sustained the de-
cision of Judge Lewis in the Federal
Court here, holding that William R.
Mason and Joseph vanderweide can
not again be. tried in the Federal
Courts for the alleged murder Of Jo-
seph A. Walker near Durango.
As result of this ruling the gov
eminent will be compelled to confine
its further prosecution of the two men
to charges of conspiracy to deprive
Walker Of his rights as a citizen Of
the United States. Judge Lewis held
that the trial of Mason and Wander
weide in the state courts for the kill
ing OF Walker is a bar to any further
prosecution on this charge.
Walker was shot while investigating
alleged fraud in obtaining public
lands and the government has charged
that Mason and vanderweide did the
shooting, having formerly entered into
a conspiracy to deprive Walker. who
was a secret service operative, Of his
rights as q citizen. The trial court
held that the charge Of conspiracy to
murder" is essentially the same as a
charge OF murder and that the former
trial is a bar to its prosecution. The
charge OF depriving Walker Of his
rights still remains as a basis for
prosecution.
