THE INSANITY PLEA.

That the lawyers themselves are re-
commencing reforms of a radical ma
ture is evidence of the fact that legal
procedure needs reforming Not the
such recommendations was that of a
committee to the New York state bar
association. recently in session, to the
effect that the insane man should be
amenable to the same laws as the sane
man.
The insanity defense ought to be
abolished entirely, the committee re-
ported The only issue left to the
jury ought to be: Did the accused do
the deed?' That is one of the most
radical suggestions yet promulgated
Yet some of the abuses which have
arisen under the insanity excuse are
such as to seriously alter the course
OF exact justice. And it is a matter
for earnest probing whether the re-
commentator is too drastic
Every person who reads the news
papers has been puzzled over the
course taken in murder trials. for ex-
ample, wherein insanity was pleaded

PROBE Of HIGH
PRICES PUZZLE
CONGRESSMAN WONDERING
WHETHER BOTH HOUSE AND
SENATE WILL BE ON JOB
FEARS EXPRESSED THAT SEPAR-
ATE PROBES MAY BRING
ABOUT TWO VERDICTS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Whether
the senate and house will conduct rival
Investigations into the cause of the
high cost of living is question that
concerns republican political leaders
more deeply than any other problem
now before congress.
If both bodies conduct such an ex-
animation, the leaders fear that diff
ferent conclusions may be reached, and
that such differing reports on the eve
of the congressional elections will
prove embarrassing to the republican
majority.
Nevertheless, republicans of the SEN
ate apparently are determined to make
such inquiry, and to conduct it with
the utmost despatch regardless Of the
views of house leaders.
The Lodge resolution, reported from
the senate committee on finance, has
been so amended as to provide for a
committee of seven senator's, and 1t
probably will be reported tomorrow
from the committee on contingent ex-
penseS.
That the object of the investigation
is political is generally admitted
Especial, it seems, do the republl-
cans want to refute charges that the
tariff is responsible for the increases.
They will try to show that there is a
wide difference between wholesale and
retail prices, and that the tariff is not
responsible for these differences.
1t is reported that President Taft
desires the effect of the tariff upon
necessaries of life to be determined
by the inquiry, and that he will not
tolerate any effort to gloss over any
i'll effects.
Friends and enemies of ship subsidy
legislation i'm the house are lining up
for a sharp contest. There is moth
ing to indicate when a vote may be
had on the bill. Legislation of this
character has never been successful
in the house. although it has passed
the senate on several occasions. 1t
is likely that the subsidy measure will
pass the senate, and, if held up in the
house will be sent to that body as a
rider on the postoffice appropriation
bill.

I'M MIGRANTS KNOW.

When 6S,711 immigrants enter the
United States in the month of Dec
ember always one of the least favor
able of the year for the inflow Of po-
pulation from Europe, there can be no
question that in spite of high prices
and Notwithstanding all other unfa :
stanced in America, the chances for
comfort and advancement for the poor
man are better here than they are
in any other part of the world. If it
were not so the stream of immigrants
would be diverted more largely to 9TH
er lands
There are plenty of European wage
earners in South America, Australia
and Canada to test the conditions in
those countries and make reports to
their former neighbors and their kins-
folk in the Old World Wherever
such news of industrial and trade con-
ditionS and the general Wellbeing-or
the Opposite-of the masses is gath
cred it is information weighed and
gagged from the point of view of the
artisan and the labOrer. 1t is not a
statement based upon statistics or
upon the profits of business enter
prises, as inventors know such things,
but merely a summing up of the con-
ditions of life as they affect working
men and women who live by the labor
of their hands.

the National railways on the question
of resigning. it is considered certain
tonight that more than the necessary
two-thirds majority in the affirmative
will be the result.
OF thirteen men who left here week
ago to poll the lines, ten are back and
three are expected tomorrow. The bal
lots will be counte at once.
If sufficient majority favors resigning
the committee will write the president
of the railroad stating the outcome of
the poll and at the same time will
tender the designations of the men.
The committee will name the date for
the designations to take effect
The date is a closely guarded secret.
An official of the union tonight said
that if the vote favored resignation,
the only chance for the men to remain
would be the granting of their re-
quests by the railroads. He said that
practically every union conductor and
engineer on the National railroads
would leave Mexico unless the railroads
reconsidered their demands
I The union claims to have many
MeXicans among their number and say
that a majority of the union natives
have voted to resign. Officials of the
railroad say that they are prepared
for the eventuality of many vacated
positions.

WIRELESS REPORTS VESSEL
ON FIRE AND ABANDONED
"Uz" Signals to Naval photographic
Office of Seeing Schooner

WASHINGTON Feb. ga vessel
on fire and abandoned at sea was
reported today by wireless telegraph
to the naval photographic office. The
wireless message came from a mer-
chant vessel whose call signal is ''UZ,"
but the name of which is not listed.
/ The message, in effect, was that the
merchantmen had passed green
schooner with black board and white
at sea, in latitude 1926 north. long
itude 73.40 west. Her name, in black
letters, appeared to be George P.
Phillips, Delaware. Her boats were
gone and nobody was aboard. A high
sea was running at the time. The
telegram was signed Davis
1t appears probable that the burned
schooner was the George F. Phillips"
of Seaford, Del, which sailed from
Baltimore on January % for Wilm-
ington, n. c. in command of Captain
Gaskins. She carried a crew of four.
The vessel was built at Bethel, Del,
in 1901, was of 270 gross tons, 1902
feet long and 2S.3 feet beam.
SO far as reported, the crew has
not been picked up nor landed at any

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

1t is seldom that a physician sue
ceeds in proving his theories by not
dying before reaching the great age
of 81. This feat is the more remarkable
when his theories are opposed to all
commonly accepted ideas.
DR.. George S. Keith, who has just
died at Currie, near Edinburg, aged
81, was known as the starving doc
tor and was much criticized for his
almost complete abandonment of me-
dicine, his condemnation OF alcohol,
and his attacks on the keep up the
strength of the patient" school.
DR.. Keith startled his patients by
his ideas. Don't eat anything" he
would tell them, but go to bed, open
the windows and drink plenty of good
water" He scarcely ever prescribed
medicine of any kind, and never alco-
hol In Illness" he said, neither medi
cine, nor alcoholic stimulants, nor food
are necessary as q general rule, and
are often absolutely injurious" His
great idea was that nearly every ILL
ness could be traced to overeating.

Private Motor Car Near

PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb 6.-Heedless
Of the warning of a foreman In chargc
of excavating operations along the
line of the private motor road from
Kelvin to the Ray copper mines, the
motorman of a gasoline car contain
ing six passengers, ran his car close
to the excavation just as a suffering
fuse burned to a heavy charge of
dynamite this afternoon and the car
and it's seven occupants were blown to
atoms. The killed are:

W H. LYALL. motorman Of the
car.
The foreman had discovered a miss
shot in the excavation at noon and
before the motor car came in sight
he had relighted the fuse. AS the
car approached he signalled the
motorman and warned him of the i'm
pending explosion. Motorman Lyall
evidently believing he could take his
car past the charge to safety before
the explosion, paid no heed to the
warning and started again at full
speed.
Just as the car was passing the
charge the explosion came, and the
car with its load of human freight
was blown high in the air, amid
great cloud of debris. The lives of all
those inside the car were snuffed out
in an instant. The dead men were
all prominent in Arizona mining af-
fairs.

that when any one has had grievance
to suppress or an itch for reforming
some abuse. which, if let alone, would
be corrected without law, he rushed
to congress or to the state legislatures
with his "be it enacted" etc. Among
the ancient Locrians whoever propos-
ed a new law did it with rope around
his neck, and if his proposition did not
meet the approval of his assembled
fellow citizens or was impracticable he
was strung up forthwith. In this
country the greatest statesman and
legislator is he who gets the most laws
upon the statute book. 1t is not
strange that at last the people are
having a surfeit of lawmaking. Ir
modern times the greatest Legislative
wisdom consists in repeating bad ole
laws instead of accommodating bad new
