UNIQUE SUICIDE
OF MONROE MAN
EXPLODES CHARGE OF DYNA-
MITE ON STOMACH-BODY
IN SHREOS.

Monroe, Wis, Jan. following his
own body to shreds, but failing TO
end his wife's life also, as was ap-
parently his intent, Thomas Trumpy,
aged so years, took a unique method
of leaving the world. He had been
drinking heavily for the last week,
and early Sunday morning went to
his home, lay down OH the floor or
the second story, Immediately above
the bed on the first floor occupied
by his wife, and exploded a charge
Of dynamite on his stomach. He had,
it is believed, reckoned that the force
of the dynamite. exerted downward,
would cause the death OF his wife
also, for though a great hole was
torn in the floor she was uninjured.
His own body was so torn to pieces
that only a small portion remained
recognizable as part of human form.
The wife, three daughters, and three
other occupants all escaped without
injury.

KUsTERMANN ENTERS PROTEST
AGAINST SHIP SUBSIDY
SCHEME

Washington, Jan. General debate
on the army appropriation bill con.
sumed the entire time of the house
yesterday, and as there seemed to be
no disposition to discuss that meas
ure, members made speeches on va
riety of subjects At the expiration
of the five hours to which general de,
bate on the bill was limited, the house
adjourned without a single voice be-
ing raised in opposition to the meas
ure.
Mr. Hull Of Iowa, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, ex-
planned that the bill carried an appro
priation of s95,212,718 for the mainte-
nance Of the army during the fiscal
year of 1911, and urged its passage
as reported, stating that the estimates
had been pared to the bone.
"The wonderful results of the civil
war are responsible for thS enormous
cost to the nation annually for W" IS
past aud to come" declared Mr.. Hull
He said the army and navy cost not
more than S255, 900 annually and
he expected a statement by Chairman
Tawney, of the appropriation commit

tee, that the wars of the past and
those Icing prepared for, were costing
the nation Y per cent. of its net rev.
enus annually.
Mr.. Hull added that the $l60.0000OO
given annually in pensions should not
be included as war cost, being rather
a charity. He justified the enormous
amount so spent, as the result of a
war which made the appropriation
necessary to keep the republic intact
Had there been any other result, he
said, the country eventually would
have been divided into half a dozen
republics, none important enough to
command the respect of the world
powers.
Mr.. Bartholdt of Missouri, indicated
that he would offer an amendment to
the army bill, providing for the restor
alton of the army canteen when it is
taken up for amendment
lengthy speech in opposition TO
the ship subsidy bill, directed par
ticularly against the Humphrey bill
recently introduced was made by
Congressman Kustermann of Wiscon-
sin. He said:
Some think that mail subsidy will
increase the numL er of ships carrying
our flag; others, who | believe are
in the majority, honestly believe that
placing our ships on equal terms with
the ships of other nations will &C.
complish the desired end without in
directly taxing every one of our PEG
pie for the benefit of a few ship own
ers. Others are carried away by senti-
ment, a desire to have the American
flag at ships peak no matter what it
costs
Ship builders favor the subvention
and oppose the practical solution of
placing American ships on equal
terms with those of other nations In
my opinion they will be more benefited
than harmed by allowing foreign built
ships, to be used only in foreign trade
to come under American registry.
Il object, as was proposed last year
and again this year, to placing a
premium on slow ships, y paying the
same rates now being paid for fast
ships. There was paid last year, un-
der the law of 1891, to eight ships
-four on the Atlantic and four on the
Pacific, $1,185,148. If we accede to
the demand of some of the subsidy
shOuters, we will be soon obliged to
issue $3OO,OO0,OOO in bonds to subsi,
die American ships"
Mr. OIdfeld Of Arkansas, urged the
repeal of the law granting railroads

CUTS CANCER WITH CURRENT.
Baltimore Surgeon Uses French Meth
cd of Killing Growth.

For the first time in this country
the electrical method Of DR.. E. Doyen,
the eminent French surgeon, was en-
ployed by DR.. G. Hauer Everhart at
st. Luke's hospital, Baltimore, when
he removed a large cancerous growth
from the mouth of John LoOkingbill Of
Carroll county. The operation also in
Guided the removal of growth from
other parts of the patients face. Hot
sterilized air, just below the burning
point, first was applied to soften the
tissues and make the application of
the electricity more thorough 10 it's
work.
''FuIguratiOn" is the name of the
DOyen method of applying electricity
to cancerOus tissues. 1t is the most
thorough system of treating the dis.
ease, as electrical currents can pene,
trate and kill the growth in a manner
not permissible with the surgeons
knife. The current as applied is al.
ranged specially for this kind of work.
So delicate are the instruments
used that they have to be Theoretically
sealed to prevent their injury while
the room is being fumigated after an
operation.
The vaccine used in the case was
supplied by Professor Doyen from his
laboratory in Paris. 1t was composed
of micrococusneoform which is
one of the bacteria found in all can
cerous grOWUhs, and is believed by
DOyen to be the cause of the taking
on Of new growth. The patient will
be vaccinated hypodermically with an
titOXin for six months following the
operation, and at that time the treat
ment will be dispensed with, pro
vided the growth shows no signs Of
returning.
Three years has been the time limit
set by the best surgeons of the world
for a recurrence of cancerous growth
after removal, and as that time has
passed with non-appearance of the
growths in several operations per-
formed by him. Professor DOyen has
reported to the French Academy of
Surgery that he has such absolute
confidence in his method of treating
the disease that he practically is as,
sured of its absolute success.

government in granting federal char
ter to such a combination to make and
sell in interstate and foreign com
merce the products of useful manu-
facture under such limitations as
will secure a compliance with the anti
trust law 1t is possible so to frame a
statute that while it offers protection
to a federal company against harm
full, vexatious and unnecessary inva-
sion by the states, it shall subject it
to reasonable taxation and control by
the states, with respect to its purely
local business.
The president recommends, the en-
actment of a general law providing
for the formation of corporations to
engage in trade and commerce, pro
tecting them from undue interference
by the states and regulating their &C
tivities so as to prevent the recur-
renee of those abuses which have
arisen under state control. Such a
law should provide for the issue of
stock to an amount equal only to the
cash paid in on the stock; and if the
stock be issued for property, then at
a fair valuation, ascertained under ap-
proval and supervision of federal au-
thority. Corporations organized I'M
der this act should be prohibited from
acquiring and holding stock in other
corporations Except for special rea
sons upon approval by the proper fed
eral authority thus avoiding the
creation, under national auspices, of
the holding company with subordin-
ate corporations in different states,
which has been such an effective
agency in the creation of the great
trusts and monopOlies.
If the prohibition of the antitrust
act against combinations in restraint
of trade is to be effectively enforced,
it is essential that the national gov
eminent shall provide for the crea-
ton of national corporations to carry
on a legitimate business throughout
the United States The conflicting
laws Of the different states with re-
spect to foreign corporations make 1t
difficult, if not impossible, for one
corporation to comply with require
ments so as to carry on business in
number of different states.
The president admits that such
national incorporation law will be
opposed, first, by those who believe
that trusts should be completely
Lroken up and their property de-
stroyed. 1t will be opposed, second,
by those who doubt the constitutional
ity of such federal Incorporation, and
even if it IS valid, object to it as too
great federal Capitalization. It will be
opposed, third, by those who will in
sist that a mere voluntary incorpOra-
ton like this will not attract to its
acceptance the wohst Of the offenders
against the antitrust statute and who
will therefore propose instead Of it
system of compulsory licenses for all
federal corporations engaged in in
terstate business. But the president
believes all these objections may be
dismissed.

But such an investigation and
possible prosecution of corporations

Ban Johnson, president of the Amer

Already the American league fans
have raised the cry that because
Killing is such a drawing card to the

his eligibility. Until the final ruling
appears the exact condition of Kings
affairs will not be known by the pub
