Insane From Eating Garbage.

The family of six people, three of them
children, disdaining to ask for aid and
too proud to beg have been living for
three years on a tiny farm in the out
skirts of Burlington on garbage which
the father of the family 70 years old,
has daily collected from yards in the
city ostensibly to feed his pigs" This
was the startling fact revealed Sunday
when the local authorities were called in
to take charge of two insane, middle-aged
women, both widows, their aged father,
and three children. To the unspeakable
diet upon which the women. Mrs. Matte
Sipples and Mrs Emery Leavitt have
subs!sted for the last &c months is at
tributed their present insanity. Both will
be sent to the state asylum for the in
sane. The authorities found revolving
conditions of squalor and disorder present
in the battered farmhouse that the family
occupied in a somewhat isolated section.

Wichita. His fee will be several
hundred dollars. Then there are at
torneys for Waters and Smith, and
their aides who will receive fees
which is generally expected that the
railroad will be asked to pay. The
original suit has been settled for all
time
Commissioner Sluss has sent a
hypothetical question to attorneys
throughout the country to determ-
inc what reasonable fees in the case
should be. This question covers nine
sheets of legal size paper, about A.
900 words, and reviews the whole
case. At the end is this question:
IF you had been engaged as coun-
sci in a case like this what would
you consider a reasonable fee for the
attorneys?"
The answers to this question will
be the basis on which the commits
sioner will make his decision.
The railroad company pays its at
torneys by the year, so it is not
troubled by the fees of its own at
tOrneys.

.FARNUM PAYS $4,000 FINE
PLEAD GUILTY. OTHER INDICT-
AfENTS WERE MOL PRESSED.
Judge Said He Did Not Consider His
Offense as Great as Those of
DispensarY Directors.

COLUMBIA, S. C.-James S. Far
mum, agent in this state for a num-
Der of brewery and liquor firms who
did business with the state dispen-
sary, today pleaded guilty to a charge
of conspiracy to defraud the state,
and paid fine of $4,000. The sud
den ending of the case came without
any previous intimation.
Attorney General Lyon appeared
in the Richland county court of Gen
new Indictment against Farnum,
charging him with conspiracy with
| Joseph B. Wylie, former member of
the state dispensary board, to de-
fraud the state. After examining
| Wylie as witness the grand jury
! returned a true bill.
Farnum, accompanied by his at
! torneys, appeared in court and pre-
scented plea of guilty, which was
accepted by Judge Prince, who in
! imposing sentence, gave him the
choice of a fine of $4,000 or one
year on the changing.
The attorney general, in view of
Farnum's plea, noll pressed the five
other cases against Farnum, two for
bribery of state dispensary officials
and three for conspiracy, all based
on the same testimony. At the last
term of court Farnum was acquitted
of a charge of conspiracy based or
practically the same set of facts.
He was soon afterwards reindicteC
h.
brought by the Chester county grand
jury are included in the attorney gen
erals decision to noll PROSE-.
Offense of Others Worse.
In passing sentence Judge Prince
took occasion to say that he did no
consider Farnum's offense as grea
, as those of the dispensary directors
accused of fraud in purchasing liz
! uor, as Farnum was only a private
. citizen, while the dispensary direc
= tors were sworn officers of the state
, Therefore" said Judge Prince, g
am going to be lenient, but not 81
, lenient as your counsel would like
me to be; | cannot see it just as the!
would see it possibly, but | am COINS
to take into consideration your plea.
5 He then announced that the sen
tence was a fine of $4,000 or one
, year Imprisonment. When cOunse
! l. for Farnum announced that his ellen
would pay the fine the judge amend
, ed the sentence, emitting reference
to Imprisonment.
In explanation of his action in re
ceiving Farnum's plea of guilty ant
dropping the other cases against the
defendant Attorney General Lyon
said that in view of the jury's fail
ure to convict in the former trial he
thought it best to have Farnum pun
ished by a fine in order to vindicate
in some degree at least, the power
of the law in South Carolina.
Farnum announces that the deter
mination not to testify against his
alleged accomplices and co-cOnspi-
rators is not shaken by the attorney
generals course.

FINEST PHYSICS LABORATORY
Martin RyersOn to Give Chicago Uni
versitY 81 900. 900 to Complete 1t.


Plans are in contemplation for
giving the University of Chicago the
finest physical laboratory in the
United States, if not in the world.
1t is said that before all the plans
are consummated the plant will cost
$1,00O,000. All of the money is to
be furnished by Martin Ryerson,
president of the board of trustees of
the university, who also was the do
nor of the present Ryerson labora-
tory at the university.
One of Mr.. Ryerson's objects is to
afford to the physics department of
the university the best facilities that
can be obtained for original re-
search. In Professor Albert A. Mich
elson, as winner of the Nobel prize
for discoveries relating to optics and
light, the university has a scientist
of the first order, and it is felt that
he and the men associated with him
in the laboratory work at the uni
versity should command all the aid
that intelligent investment of money
can furnish.

cultivated Because of Them.
The Delta region in Mississippi
will some day be the richest and most
populous region in the United States,
says Prof Glenn w. Herrick, in the
Washington Post. 1t lies along the
western part of the state, extending
from the south of the YaZoo river
north nearly to the Tennessee line,
and outside of Egypt it has no agri-
cultural rival in the whole world
Yet rich as it is, and great as are
it's possibilities, the scOurge of ma
laria has kept much of it in its prim-
tive wild forest, barred out immi-
grafton and forced the price of the
land down to a mere fraction of its
intrinsic value. Land hungry as the
average American has been for gen.
erations and still is, yet he cannot
successfully face the peril of malaria,
with it's toll of shortened life, les
sened efficiently and ultimate death.
1t is a matter of record that the
thousands of people who would
hasten to aid in making this region
the most productive in America are
kept away by the malaria mosquito.
Thousands of acres Of the most fer
tile land on the continent, easy of
access and close to good markets, are
today the haunt of deer and bear.
