O'NEIL BROWNE CASE
Jury Fails to Agree After Being
Out II5 Hours.

Chicago, June 30.-The case OF Lee
O'Neil Browne, the legislator charged
with bribery in behalf of the election
of William Lorimer to the United
States senate, resulted in mistrial.
The jury was out lis hours. the
longest session by forty-one hours ever
held by jury in Chicago. Twenty
four ballots were taken, the count
throughout standing eight for convic-
tion and four for acquittal. The jurors
who stood fast in their belief in the
innocence of the defendant throughout
the long vigil were Charles Spare,
William r. Lowe, William r. Hen
nessey and Walter j. Hermanson.
One juror, Arthur s. Townsend, who
was detained for a moment by a re-
porter, was asked II there was any
fighting in the juryroom.
II should say not" he answered
with laugh. They were jolly good
bunch and we had a fine time. We
all stuck to our views. The argument
was warm at times, but we all recog
nized the rights of others to their owr
opinions"
States Attorney Wayman declared
to reporters that the Browne case of
fered the most flagrant case of jury
fixing he had ever known.

MUST GO TO PRISON FOR LIFE
Judge Latshaw Refuses New Trial In
Case of Or. Hyde.

Kansas City, June 30.-Judge Ralph
Latshaw, in the criminal court, over
ruled the motion of DIR. B. Clark Hyde
for new trial on the charge of MUIR
dering Colonel Thomas III. Swope. He
handed down a long and carefully
written summary of the reasons which
led him to refuse rehearing.
Attorneys for the defense immedi-
ately filed a motion for appeal to the
supreme court, which Judge Latshaw
would not grant. He refused to grant
bail to the prisoner while the matter
is pending before the higher tribunal.
The judge declared that the jury's
verdict was a just one and was justi-
fed by the evidence submitted. Hyde
had previously been sentenced to life
Imprisonment.
Mrs. Hyde sat beside her husband
during the reading of Judge Latshaw's
decision. Neither appeared disturbed
by the courts refusal to grant a new
trial. Hyde smiled back at his wife as
he was returned to his cell.

NEGRO BATTLES WITH MOB
One Bullet Narrowly Misses Judge A.
ton g. Parker.

New York, June 30.-Judge Alton b.
Parker had narrow escape from the
bullet of an infuriated negro, who was
battling with an angry mob on Mad
ison avenue. Judge Parker had been
a passenger on a car following close
behind one on which the negro had
uuarreled with the conductor, starting
a small riot The former presidential
candidate had stepped off his car and
was watching the excitement when
there was pistol shot and bullet
whizzed by.
Plato J. Jerrey, hotel proprietor at
a beach resort, is the negro whom the
police charge with firing the shot. He
was aiming, they say, at the crowd OF
men and boys who pursued him for
his assault on the conductor.
Judge Parker would not enter a
complaint against Jerrey, saying he
had not been hit and did not see the
man fire the shot.

"Such a resolution, authorizing the

GRAIN men TALK
ABOUT the CROP
Consider ConditiOnSin Wheat
Belt Very Serious.
MORE RAIN IMPERATIVE

Moisture at This Late Day Would, in
Their Opinion, Save Much of the
Grain Now Threatened With Destruc-
tion--Estimates of the Probable
Yield indicate From Half to Three
quarters of Normal.
Minneapolis, June 30.-Grain men OF
the Minneapolis chamber of commerce
are alarmed at the serious aspect of
the crop situation in the Northwest.
The conditions, they say, are becom-
ing more serious every day. Since
June 10 they have been holding forth
hope that in a few days cooler wealth
er and rain would save the wheat crop
of the Northwest. Today, twenty days
later, they are still looking forward
with few rays of hope.
Little doubt now remains that the
crop will be greatly reduced. In some
places no wheat whatever can be har-
vested and the entire situation is now
| taken as a calamity.
Following are some of the reports
| of grain men:
| Z. F. Woodwork & Co.; Estimates
| of the crop in North Dakota vary all
| the way from failure in some parts to
| so per cent. South Dakota is estimat-
| ed all the way from so per cent to 70
| per cent, and Minnesota from so per
| cent to rs per cent 1t depends upon
| how soon we have rain and what eff
feet the rain will have on the grain,
which, in many instances, suffered
from early frosts. 1t is reported there
are many fields that will not respond
to moisture at this late date
Crop Irreparably Damaged.
John Mcmillan, of the Osborn-Mc.
MILAN Elevator company, says the
crop is irreparably damaged. The
conditions are serious in localities.
doubt whether rain will revive the
wheat as people think, as the crop has
been irreparably damaged. | do moi
think North Dakota can reach so pei
cent of a normal crop. South Dakota
ought to produce about so per cent
and Minnesota about rs per cent. A
good deal of the trouble dates back tt
hte time of the cold weather and the
drouth following it,"
Henry Douglas, of the Great West
ern Elevator company: ITS any
body's guess at present on the crop
There has been lot of damage, bu
it is going a long way to estimate 1t
It depends largely on whether we ge
rain in North Dakota. That state hal
been badly hit and portions of Soutl
Dakota have been hit But Minnesot;
is in much better condition"
r. E. Lindahl, representing the Car
. gill interests at Duluth, who was ol
change, said: Il don't want to b.
pessimistic, but there is no getting
around the fact that conditions ar
bad. We have still the dangerous par
of July to come, when the wheat is i

Are Affected.
Washington, June 30.-Decisions
were handed down by the interstate
commerce commission countrywide in
Importance. They affect freight rates
both class and commodity-on all
transcontinental lines operating be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The decisions are of what are known
popularity as the Pacific coast cases,
heard last autumn by the commission
on its six weeks trip to the Pacific
coast and intermountain territory.
In every instance reductions in the
existing rates complained of were
made and in some instances they
amounted to nearly so per cent. The
commission found, through its inquiry,
a remarkable rate situation existing
on the Pacific coast and even a more
remarkable one in the intermountaln
territory. This is notably true of the
rates to and from Spokane, Wash,
and Reno, New.
In the Spokane case the commission
decided that present freight rates are
unreasonable and excessive. Just and
reasonable rates on both class and
commodity freight were established
for the future.
Reno Rates Also Reduced.
In what is known as the Reno case
the class and commodity rates from
Sacramento, CAL, by the Southern Pa
cific between Reno, New, and Cecil
Junction, Utah, are declared excessive
Reasonable rates are prescribed
In what was known as the Port
land back haul" case the commission
decided that the freight rates from
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland to points
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana were unreasonable and a re
duction of 20 per cent was proposed.
Certain class freight rates from
Eastern territory to Phoenix, Arlz.
were held to be unjust and unreason
able and reductions of approximately
80 per cent were ordered.
On complaint Of the railroad com
mission Of Nevada it was held tina
the class rates from Eastern defined
territory to points in Nevada We're un
reasonable and it was ordered tina
rates materially lower be put into ef
feet by the carriers.

The Lumber Rate Ruling.

The ruling of the Interstate Com
merce commission in the lumber cases,
to which Omaha shippers were parties,
is of more than ordinary significance
as indicating the manner in which the
commission is disposed to view cases
of this kind. The opinion, written by
Commissioner Clark, goes into detail
and sets forth the situation so clearly
that there can be no Misunderstanding
about it,
The commission had previously in
other cases Issued orders that the rate
on lumber from southern mills should
be no higher to Lincoln than it was to
Omaha, and again later that it should
be no higher to Des Moines than it was
to Omaha. In each of these cases in
stead of reducing the higher rate to
the rate which had previously pre-
vailed to Omaha the railroads had
raised the rate to Omaha-first to that
which had been maintained to Lincoln
and then again to that which had
been maintained to Des Moines-in all
an increase of approximately 20 per
cent. Had the railroads been content
with the returns they were getting I'M
der their old schedules they would
have equalized by striking a mean be-
tween the two rates, whereas the dou-
BILE increase actually brought them ad-
ditional revenue as the result of de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce
commission intended to give the ship
pers relief from rates that appeared
to be discriminating and excessive. AS
it is, the present order of the Inter
state Commerce commission still
leaves the rate ON lumber higher than
It was to Omaha at the time Lincoln
obtained its first order for equalization
and higher even than Lincoln was pay
ing at that time.
The moral OF II all is that II is not
safe for the Interstate Commerce com.
mission simply TO order an equaliza-
ton Of rates for one city as compared
with other cities, because that evil
IDENTIFY means simply a raising of the
rate all around. What must be done
in these cases hereafter is to ask the
commission to fix the rate itself. and

Majority Rule in the House.

The new rule adopted by the house

ing of bill in committee, must be a
move in the direction of giving the
membership of the house better con-
troll over legislation or 1t could not
have enlisted the practically unani.
nous support Of regulars, insurgents
and democrats. The purport is to
make it possible by majority vote OF
the whole house to recall bill from
committee and place 1t on file, subject
to be called up for action in the usual
way. This is only another declaration
that. the majority shall rule without
undue obstruction, and yet the whole
the adoption of the present rule in
question, is proof positive that the real
majority can not be prevented from
ruling whenever it asserts itself. 1t
is notable that after all the clamor OF
the democrats in congress about this
and that real evil or imaginary wrong
in the house, the only opposition to
this change came from the minority
party, two of whose members violently
denounced the new rule on the floor.
If the right to recall bill is invoked
only on occasions for which 1t is in
tended, namely, when bill command
ing the favor of a majority is being
deliberately withheld in committee, it
Will, no doubt, prove serviceable and
beneficial. The temptation, however,
will always be present for members to
proceed by log rolling to tie several
measures together for the purpose of
forcing action on all Of them when none
by itself could secure the needed ma
jority of the votes on its own merits.
If such an abuse should develop from
the new rule it will have to undergo
further modification.

Be Wary of the Water.

The swimming season is upon us
and those boys who do not know the
art will want to learn 1t. Every boy
and man, and girl and woman, too, for
that matter, should know how TO swim.
But the mere feat of swimming is not
nearly so hard to learn as is the lesson
Of proper caution.
1t is not always the poorest swim
mer, or the non-swimmer, who is
drowned, but many times the most
adept. Too frequently a daredevil
spirit of adventure goes along with
proficiency in swimming, and water
seems to have a natural antipathy for
recklessness. Many times in the course
of season we hear of expert swim
mers being drowned because they de.
pend too much on their pvowess and
realize too little their frailty. Acct
dents will befall the mighty swimmer
almost as readily as the poor swimmer
The other day a prominent judge in
Tennessee, out rowing With some
friends, boosted of Being The best
swimmer in his county, and, to prove
his skill, leaped out into the water
and started to swim away, but sank
instead. The water was cold and he
was sensitive to this heart failed
and he died.
Teach the boy to swim, but while
you are doing it, teach him to keep his
head and take no unnecessary chances.
OF course, it is little difficult TO guard
against weak hearts, but it is easy to
avoid useless danger, Only when the
accident happens one wonders why he
had not thought to impress the lesson
of caution

Some Notions About Type.


A Nebraska statesman of bygone
days, who had an unusually homely
wife, used to say that he thought it
was good thing, that everybody had
not the same taste, or else every man
would have wanted to marry his wife.
1t is a good deal the same way about
the use of type and taste in advertising
composition. If everybody agreed all
the advertisements would look alike,
so, perhaps, it is a good thing that
there is such divergence of taste and
opinion.
There are a few things, about the use
of type, however, that appeal to me as
being matters of logical deduction and not
matters of taste. Advertising is useless, IL
1t is not read, Books magazines and news
papers probably make up ninety-nine per
cent of what we read. The printed matter
in all these is set in practically the same
face Of type, known as Roman" 1t is also
set, not In capital letters, but in small
letters, called by the printer, "lower case"
BY incessant practice, the human eye learns
to grasp this type with remarkable accur-
acy and rapidity. 1t is type of this partcu-
lar face that the eye is used to reading and
therefore, this type, lower case Roman, is
the type which offers the least resistance In
reading. Increasing the size OF the type Of
course, makes 1t more easily read. Any
variation from the Roman style of type
makes 1t more difficult to read. Fancy
type old English and the many distortions
and attempted improvements are steps in
the wrong direction. The eye grasps these
various type faces less easily, In accordance
with how much they vary from the face
to which the eye is accustomed,
AS has been said, ordinary reading matter
is set in small letters, or lower case. In
this reading matter capital letters occur
