Louise yetter, the 4year-old girl who
was run down by a boy on q bicycle

at her home, 210 Fourteenth avenue.
Her skull was fractured by the acct

improve during the night, and could
old out no hope for her recovery.
The child was crossing the street

sprinting down the street. He was
riding a wheel which had been loaned
to him by a brother of the Vetter girls.
Barbara stepped back and her little
sister ran directly in front of the
bicycle. She was thrown to the pave
ment and her skull fractured, Frank
Vetter, jr,, another brother, witnessed
the accident and, running to the spot,
carried his sister home. Schott was

TAFT, IN SPEECH,
DEMANDS A NEW
COMMERCE COURT

ment of Federal judges, whose terms
and salaries last for life and who be-
come a permanent expenditure of the
government. But there is this to be
said, that If the establishment of such
a court proves to be a mistake, the
demand for judges throughout the
country and their Increase will furnish
an opportunity to use the judges thus
appointed for other and general judicial
work.
"A second change in the interstate
commerce law ought to give 70 this
commission the power to hear and en-
terrain complaints against unjust
classification of merchandise for rams
portation. Ii is perfectly clear that by
including articles in the same class
which ought to pay different rates, a
railrcad can commit exactly the same
kind of injustice as it would by i'm
posing an cxorbitant rate AS to any ons
class. Hence, l haven't the slightest
hesitation in recommending to Con-
gress that the power of the commits
sior should be extended to include not
only the fixing of rates after complaint,
but also the REIMBURSEMENT of classif-
cation If it prove on complaint to be
unjust"
Though urgently requested to attend
the army maneuvers at the State fair
grounds, President Taft was compelled
to decline the invitation on the grounds
that his schedule did not permit him to
linger, as he was expected to leave n
few minutes after II o'clock for Omaha.

Charles E. Newton, a city bremen
connected with Engine Company No. a,
at 255 High street, is suffering from a
serious case of blood poisoning in his
right hand and arm from the effects of
bites received from stub the pet cat
of the engine company. While no serl-
GUS results are expected from the bites,
Newto is suffering great pain and will
be off duty for several days.
Stub" was the pet of the entire crew
at house No. 4. About two weeks age
a litter of three kittens was discovered.
Two were the s~tub-tailed breed, like the
mother, n the third had a tail long
enough to make up for the lack of the
other two. stub" would have nothing
TO do with her l~ong-tailed offspring and
kept throwing it out of the basket,
where the firemen had placed the moth
er and kittens.
1t was while Newton was trying tc
put the l~ong-tailed kitten back into the
basket that Stub" sprang at him and
sunk her teeth deep into the fleshy
part OF the hand at the thumb joint.
Newton paid no particular attention to
the wound. and the next morning was
bitten again while trying to get the
cast-off kitten back into the basket.
Soon afterward the hand began to
swell and the swelling rapidly extend
ed to the arm, which is now twice its
natural size. DIR. William Gauch, the
department physician, is attending Mr..
Newton and does not anticipate any
serious results.
As for Stub-well, Stub is dead, and

he wouldn't come back by killing him

KNOWLEDGE OF CARDS

Prisoner Accused of Gambling
Walks Into Trap.

Edward Spatola, 10 syears old, and
VINO said he had no home, was
before Judge Charles F. Herr in
the Second Precinct Court today,
charged with gambling, Justice Herr
recognized him as an old Offender but
Spatola denied hat he had ever been
before the court until he was reminded
of at least one serious occasion.
Then he claimed that he was the
complainant against his father. just
then Justice Herr picked mp a pack of
playing cards that had been taken
from him when arrested and asked If
they were his. Spatola said they were,
but he did not know how to play cards,
whats this card?" suddenly asked
tho Judge, producing one from the deck.
"a deuce" was the prompt reply OF
Spetola. "And this?" asked the judge
as he flashed another. "A trey" was
the immediate response.
That convinced Justice Herr that
Spatola knew more about cards than he
pretended. and in lieu of money to pay
a $40 fine he. will have a months time
to learn more about cards by playing
solitaire in the Newark street Jail.
