"He thinks that you are rather-that

color came into the olive shaded checks
of the countess, and her brown eyes
began to study the rug pattern. Mr..
Devine suddenly decided that some
times countesses We're nice to look at.
Yes" he said encouragingly, rather

We'll, rather wild and wicked and
reckless, you know. He was afraid
that you might becOme-er-intoxic

A cherubic expression spread over
the pink and white face of Mr.. Devine.
Thinks I'm sort of cross between
a cowboy and pirate, eh? Seems to
know all about me too"
He has read about you in the news

books about it and gathers statistics.
He is writing a pamphlet on the sub

Mr.. Devine nodded uncomprehend-
ingly.
'He has been particularly interested

made quite a study of it. He gets
everything that is printed about you
from newspaper clipping bureau,
and he has the pieces pasted in a big

Deaths on Railroads Have In
creased Nearly IS Percent
During the Year
COMMISSION ISSUES A REPORT

Fatal accidents to passengers on
trains increased nearly rs per cent dur
ing the year ended June 80, 1910, 227
being killed this year, compareds to
13l in 1909 according to the
twenty-fourth annual report of the
interstate commerce commission which
has been submitted to Congress. En-
ployes of the roads suffered heavily also
Notwithstanding a marked improve
ment by the railways in guarding
against violations of the safety appli.
ance laws. The number killed in coup
ling accidents increased from 161 in
1909 to 207, or % per cent, while $50
deaths and 1924 injuries were caused
by falls from cars.
The report gives particular promin-
ence to the consideration of eastern
and western freight rate cases now
pending before the commission. The
cases have been assigned for argument
on Jan. 9, 1911, and succeeding days,
and the commission will announce its
decision at the earliest practicable date
thereafter. Every effort has been made
to expedite the proceedings. A stu
pendous record now is before the COM
mission. The tariffs have been sus-
pended until Feb. 1, 1911. Prior to
that time it is expected the commission
will announce its decision.
Since Dec. l, 1909, forty-four indict-
ments for criminal violations of the
commerce act have been returned, for
ty-three prosecutions have been con
cluded and thirty-one pleas of guilty
received. The aggregate of penalties
assessed was $63,500. Two verdicts of
acquittal were rendered. Of the forty
four indictments returned during the
year, twenty-five were against carriers
and ninety-one were against shippers
or passengers. -
Concerning the matter of prosecution
the report says:
"The fight against discrimination is
by no means won, practices still re-
naming which are more insidious and
more difficult of extirpation than open
Relating by reason of the fact that
they are hidden in contractural arr
rangements entirely legal except for
the effect produced. To speak gener-
ally, these arrangements depend for
their vice upon some unifcation of
shipper and carrier, by which shippers
secure an interest in the carriers pro-
fits. -

MAJORITY AGAINST CLAUSE.
Legislative Committee ON Industrial In
surance Decides Important Point.

With six of the seven members vot-
ing, the special joint committee of the
state Legislature on industrial insur-
ance have voted against allowing cleo
tion after an accident in the proposed
compensation act This has been one
of the chief questions before the com
mitteo.
The labor representatives had insist
ed on a modified plan drafted after
the English act which allows work
man after an accident to accept com
pensation under the law or to sue at
common law. Employers have argued
that this plan would necessitate their
maintaining their present staff of at
torneys and that the money which
should go to workmen would be used
in fighting these law suits.
This danger, they asserted, was en-
HANGED by the abrogation of certain
common laws.
The terms of the proposed act re-
main substantially as set forth in the
fourth tentative bill published last
month.

HIS BOND IS RAISED TO $4,000
Health officer After First Day Of Hear
ing Asserts That He is Hopeful Of
Verdict in His Favor-Mrs. Her
CERT Not Arrested.

The hearing of Health Officer John
b. Spaulding charged with Mrs. Frank
Clark and Mrs. Jennie Hergert with
Uonspiring to kidnap the infant child of
Emily Humphrey of this city, which
was begun in the West Chicago Ave
nue. Station in Chicago on Thursday
morning was not completed on Thurs
day afternoon and adjournment Of the
ease was taken until January 4. DR..
Bpaulding was held in bonds of $4,000
for the adjourned hearing and he fur
nished the increased bonds and re-
turned to Kenosha late Thursday even
Ing. There was little evidence brought
put at the hearing which had not been
given out in the first stories of the ar
rest of DIR. Spaulding and his associ-
ates. it is understood that the warrant
for the arrest of Mrs Hergert will not
be served and the Cook county officials
will seek to place the blame for the
disappearance of the Humphrey child
on DR.. Spaulding and Mrs. Clark. Both
the Humphrey girl and Mrs. Clark took
the stand at the hearing on Thursday
and ON their testimony the charge was
changed from a charge of conspiracy
to that of kidnapping. The hearing was
q preliminary one and after it is com
pleted Assistant District Attorney
Taylor will lay the facts in the case
before the grand jury if the Police
Magistrate holds that there is sufficient
evidence to believe the defendants
guilty. On his return to Kenosha,
Thursday evening, DR.. Spaulding stated
that he was entirely satisfied with the
hearing and that he felt certain that
the court would hold that the evidence
was insufficient to hold him on the
charges. The defendants in the case
were not given a chance to state their
side of the story and DIR. Spaulding
gave out no hint Of the nature of the
defense that he will present. Several
Kenosha people went to Chicago on
Thursday and were in the court room
ready to appear as character witnesses
for> the doctor but none of them was
called to the witness stand.
1t is understood that the officials of
Cook county will confer with the Dis
trict Attorney of Kenosha county in
regard to the case it being alleged that
facts presented in the case will demand
the investigation of the Wisconsin as
well as the Illinois officials. District
Attorney Baker has not as vet been
asked to take any action in the case
and he win take no action unless the
facts are ppreseIted to him in the very
near future. Baker will go out of Of
flee with the opening Nof the new year
and he will not open up any big case
as it is indicated that this case will
be but viii leave the matter for the
new District Attorney. The officials
of Cook county have not revealed the
nature of these .charges.

by the fact that in the whole inventory

EXPECT SHORT SESSION.
County Clerk Jones Arranging for Com
ing Meeting Of Che County Board.

County Clerk Russell II. Jones is
making arrangements for the coming
sessions of the County Board which
viii open on Jan. 4. 1t is expected
that The January session viii be one of
the shortest in the history of the coun--
ty as there is practically no business
of importance to come before the board
at that time. 1t had been expected
that the matter of building tuberculo-
sis hospital and the matter of erecting
suitable memorial to the veterans of
the war would come up at the January
session but as no appropriations have
been made for either of these projects
it is probable that the board will de-
cline to take any action and lay the
matter over until the November SEES
sion in 1911.

man love is ono of the forces of life,
but a force that works in harmony
with other elemental forces of nature
and society. He will sacrifice for it,
suffer for it, but it remains one of the
several commanding interests of his
life experience. To a woman, tradi-
tionally at least, loves right is SUI
preme: there is no law of God or ma
ture or society that can defeat her
love. Her love notice for to woman
love is her lGve-her individual right

southern men love, with passion and
earnestness; he woman he loves is
more than the woman of his choice;
she stands for all that womanhood de-
serves of mani od-prOtection, adora-

love tragedy possible under the racial

tragedy. 1t is good story, and well
