sHUFFLED OFF

Winnipeg, June 4.-Despondent on
account of protracted illness, Arthur
Beaumont, "a years of age, left the
home of his brother, Joseph Beaumont,
near Bruce Place, st. James Thursday
night and shot himself fatally in the
neck. The weapon used was a double
barrelled shotgun belonging to his
brother. The latter had hidden the
weapon owing to some remarks of a
Respondent nature by his brother, but
the young man, being left alone in
the house for short time Tuesday,
located it.
Joseph Beaumont, who is motor
man in the employ of the Winnipeg
street railway, left his home Thursday
as usual at 1890 to run a car until
2 o'clock in the morning, and deceased
left the house about II O'Clock and
was not seen again alive.
bluff to the north of the house was
made at II o'clock this morning by a
little girl in the neighborhood, who
gave the alarm. The coroner was no.
titled and visited the scene. He de-
cided that an inquest was unnecessary.
The remains were taken to the under
CdhIu6 IOVluS VI NldIh DEOS. q l1uSIleS.
The wound which caused death was
in the neck behind the left ear and
had been inflicted while the man was
lying down. One hand of the de-
ceased was blackened by gunpowder.
Beaumont came to Manitoba about
three years ago and for some time
was engaged on farm near Minota,
Man. He had been living with his
brother Joseph for five months and
had been suffering from nervous
malady. He could not sleep we'll and
was in the habit Of taking walks at
night.
On Monday he was down town with
his brother and it is said was in un-
usually good spirits that day.
The parents reside in England and
will be notified of the occurrence by
their son Joseph Beaumont.
Mrs. Joseph Beaumont, sister-in-
law of the deceased. was much agitat-
ed this morning after the finding Of
the body. and the whole family is
deeply affected.

Germans Hail Rigid Balloon.
Berlin. Germany. June 4.-German
aeronauts who are making a critical
study of Count Zeppelin's latest flight
are convinced that he has established
the incontestable superiority of the
rigid balloon over the other types. The
recent trip, in spite of the accident at
the landing, is held to have afforded
final proof that dirigibles must be
reckoned with hereafter as a potent
factor in actual campaigning. Capt.
Hildehrandt, the well-known expert,
points out that Count Zeppelin was
able to cover 1000 kilometers goo
miles) with the original supply of gas
and benzine. Had the airship started
from Metz it could have made a round
trip over a considerable section of
France. or, starting from Cologne, it
could have sailed over London and
taken accurate observations along the
English coast.
What still more aroused the admira-
tion of the experts is Count Zeppelin's
feat of patching up the damaged bal
Icon in an open field and continuing
the journey. This is considered a
remarkable proof of the rigid balloon S
adaptability to conditions of actual
service. The result is summarized by
one writer as proof that "the posi-
bility lately conjured up by our Eng
lish friends is now fact

FRANCE STIRRED
BY AERO FLIGHT
Government Conducts Expert
ments for Harrying of Hos.

Paris, France, June 4.-Count Yep
pelins record flight in his airship in
Germany has had the immediate ef-
feet of compelling official action by
France. Today an important meeting
is being held at the ministry Of for
eign affairs, where delegates of all
the French ministers will draw up a
plan for policing the air. The mayors
and other administration authorities
OF villages and small towns have been
perpleXed as to what to do when for
eign balloons alighled in their terri
tory. The commissions will decide
questions arising in this connection
from three points of view-the nation
al defense, the custom house and the
police.
Passports for Acronauts.
Today the commission reported in
favor of asking the great powers to
combine on international legislation
and suggested that cards of identi
critics. which would prevent the trou-
bles now arising from the landing of
French aeronauts in foreign territory
or of foreign aeronauts in France.
This is only one indication of the hold
taken on the French imagination by
the great fight made by Count Yep
pelin. Both civil and military author
tiles are discussing the effect Of
such a voyage in time of war.
Members of the Aero club showed
no disposition to minimize the re-
markable performance in Germany,

"The length and success of the Yep

POLICE TORTURE
Used Cold Water Cure on Accused
Burglar.

Chicago, June Max Kaplan, an
alleged burglar, when arraigned be-
for Judge Clifford in the criminal
court today charged with burglary,
made an unusual defense, in which
he denied a previous confession made
to the police and said he had been
subjected to the cold water cure by
the Harrison street police. He. also
charged that his front teeth hadSbeen
knocked out with "blackjacks" and
he was prevented from sleeping for
five days by policemen, who, he said,
threw buckets of water on him at in,
tervals OF one hour during the period
of the five days.

Kaplan was arrested shortly after.

Kahn, 612 West 18th street, Nov. 8,
1907, in which $1,700 worth Of jewelry
was stolen. He later was released ON
bonds and disappeared. He was traced
to England. South America and Afri-
ca and back again to England, where,
he was arrested about two months
ago and brought back to answer the
charge.
He made confession, when first
arrested, admitting the crime. The,
case against him was given to the jury
shortly before noon today.
When Kaplan was placed on the
stand in Judge Clifford's court to-
day. after denying the confession, he
made his statements relative to his
treatment by the police in answer to
questions by Attorney Charles e.
Erbstein. who defended him.
COld.Water Cure Alleged.
II was placed in cell in the Harri-
son street police station and kept
there for five days" said Kaplan, "and
the police subjected me to what Is
known as the 'cold-water cure I
was not allowed to sleep during the
five days I was kept there. Every
hour policeman would come to the
cell with bucket of cold water and
throw 1t over me. They used black
Jacks on me, too knocking out my
teeth. After the five days elapsed I
was taken to the Office of Assistant
Chief Schuettler and dozen big men,
who supposed were detectives, start
ed at me. Then. to escape the brutal
treatment I confessed"
Policemen were put on the stand
this afternoon and made emphatic de-
mails of the charges that Kaplan had
testified to earlier in the day.

RATE REFORMS
Former Senator Chandler on the Duty
OF Republicans.

Washington, June 4.-Former Sena-
tor William E. Chandler continues his
series of articles on Republican Re-
form Retrograding" in LaFollette's
weekly magazine of May 20. This ar
ticle. the third of the number, is en-
titled, Reasonable Corporation
Crimes" which. Mr. Chandler declares,
must not be authorized. He writes:
Congress must refuse so to change
the interstate commerce law that new
railroad rates fixed by the interstate
commerce commission may be disre-
tgarded by the railroad companies and
their own extortionate rates collected,
and their acts be justified by the
courts If at the end of legal proceed
,tngs the judges shall rule that on the
whole the new rates were too low
To give this power to the judges is
the exact program Of the reactionaries
He States the Issue.
"The general and principal issue be-
tween the railroads of the country
with $15.000,000,0C0 Of capitalization
and the 90,00O,000 of American people
may, according to my notion, be fairly
stated thus:
"Shall the state legislature and the
congress which have created these
corporation and given to them as pub
lie utilities their powers Of transport
alton be allowed to require them to
carry freight and passengers at prices
to be fixed by legislative and execu-
tive action without interference by
any other authority existing as part
of the state government or the nation
al government? Or, on tt other
hand, shall these corporations be per-
mitted to fix, according to their unre-
stricted will and pleasure, freight and
passenger rates making them as high
as the traffic will, in their opinion,
hear without destruction, and be per-
mitted to collect the money due at
those rates before they carry and de-
liver the freight or allow the passen-
gers to enter their cars, with no reme-
dy for extortionate rates until every
individual who has been compelled
to pay the money begins lawsuit
and pursues it through numerous
courts to final Judgment in his favor
for restitution?
"Of my assertion that the above Is
the real issue, can plausible denial
be made?
Regulation That Does Not Regulate.
"It may be said that the interstate
commerce commission has been en-
tlued with power to help the oppressed
Individual. AS the case stands such
assumed power is worthless. The in
t!ividual, after he has paid the freight

Of the right Of secession as held by

Congress and throughout the country,

enacted in 1906. Under this law,
which increased the number of mem

Mr.. Editor: "The History Of Our

man is text book in use in the
fifth grade of our graded schools. A
mere glance at the subject matter,
mode of treatment and style Of this
book shows that it is entirely too diff
fcult for children ten or eleven years
old. There may be a place for this
text in the schools, but that place IS
not the fifth grade.
A few extracts taken at random
is enough to show this. What idea
can boy ten years old gather from
these questions? And what business
has he with such ideas?

pies, and but vague notions Of God,

On page ten We find this: ''That

stead Of cultivating his powers of
reasoning in .5hek investigation. y

Rev. G. A. Wright as alternate. Sun
day morning there was a large crowd
present. After the business Of the
association the missionary sermon
was preached by the appointee, Rev.
C. W. Hidden. The doctor was at
his best and I don't think I ever saw
better attention given to the delivery
Of a sermon. Every one who spoke
of the sermon pronounced it fine and
a grand effort on the part Of Dr..
Hidden. After the sermon a good
collection was taken up for State
Missions. Then after the singing Of
that grand old hymn, Blest be the
tie that binds, and the saying Of the
last benediction of the association,
being pronounced by Rev. 81. Fowler,
the oldest minister of the association,
the large crowd then repaired to the
church yard and partook Of a sump-
tuous dinner, after which good byes
were said and hearty thanks to the
people Of Hurricane church and
community were rendered.
Thus closed another successful year
for Reedy River association.
