New York, July 27.-Whether the
famous leaning tower of Pisa was
built that way or accidentally slid out
of the perpendicular has long been a
subject of controversy. Professor

Brooklyn Museum of Art, has just re-

II am convinced that the obliquity
Of the tower was according to the de-
sign of the architect" he said in an
interview. "The tower stands in a
shallow, well shaped construction Of
masonry. I made exhaustive measure
ments, particularly in the spiral stair
way, taking the distances on each side
of every step for the entire height of
the tower. These measurements are
of remarkable interest as regards Sc
quence and graduation and are not COM
patible with accidental obliquity. To
my mind they establish beyond debate
that the tower was built to lean"

PROPOSE TO FIGHT CLAIMS
Accident Insurance Companies Believe
RaWn Killed Himself.

Chicago, July 27.-Accident insur-
ance companies in which the late Ira
G. Rawn, president of the Monon rail
road, carried policies, have finished a
full investigation Of the claims which
might be made on them following Mr..
RaWn's death, and it was announced
by Attorney j. r. Damman, who will
handle all the cases, that none of the
companies would compromise the
claims with the heirs. It also was
said that the family would not be
paid the insurance money until it was
proved that Mr. RaWn did not commit
suicide, but was either murdered or
met his death by accident.
Either the full face of the policies
will be paid or not a dollar" the at
t0rney said.
The total amount of the accident in.
surance is in the neighborhood of
$131,500, including accumulations. The
annual premiums paid by the late rail.
road president totaled $5,70O, making.

Washington, July 27.-The order Of
the commissioner of Indian affairs
prohibiting the sale of liquor in Clay

OF a two-hour conference here. Those
who participated were Fred w. Zoll-

former Representative S. G. Comstock

Pierce of the Indian department, Act

The Minnesota delegation protested
against the application of the anti
liquor order to Clay and Polk coun-
ties. Their representations were
given close attention, but at the end
of the conference it was announced
that no conclusions had been reached
by the officials. Following the con-
ference Mr.. Zollman said:
'The commissioner of Indian affairs
in his order has included parts of
these two counties which are not COW
cred by the treaty of 1856. They are
covered by other treaties in which the
wording of the liquor provision is diff
ferent.
"We contend, therefore, that the In
dian bureau should not have included
that territory embraced in the 1856
treaty. The parts of these counties
which we are seeking to have exclud-
ed from the closing order is that in
which such towns as Moorhead and
GAINESVILLE, in Clay county, and
Plummer, Winger and Fosston, in
Polk county, are located.
"The business men of those places
have property interests valued at
more than million dollars, which
will be confiscated, or practically, if

The COmptrOller and the Auto.

The Comptroller of the Treasury con-
tinues to wage warfare against the Off
cial vehicle when it assumes shape
which suggests to that stern and relent-
less dignitary the aspects of the Joy ride
We have no knowledge which would
Justify the association of reckless and
hilarious automobile excursioning with
the ComptroIler's decisions that the au-
tOmobile shall be used at government
expense only on certain occasions It Is
difficult TO determine just what standard
has been adopted. and we find the Comp
troiler refusing to permit the payment Of
bills out of the public Treasury for auto
mobiles in one case. while in other cases
the government vehicles of that class
are visibly used for quite personal pur-
poses.
The latest incident Of disallowance ap-
piled by the Comptroller is In the case
of the army medical officer who is de-
tailed 10 duty as attending physician in
Washington, hts task being to render
gratuitous medical advice and treatment
to army officers and members of their
families. He might he supposed TO have
the ordinary facilities Of practicing
physician, but the Comptroller says that
there is nothing in the law 10 warrant
the support Of an automobile for the use
Of this medical officer. He IS a mounted
officer with the rank OF captain, and in
that capacity is entitled 10 a horse and
equipment or its equivalent at govern
ment expense, or he may keep his own
mount. for which an increase in his an
nual pay has been allowed by law. But
as for attending 10 his professional duties
in an automobile. he must do that, evil

OF reimbursement.

cal officer viii be obliged to make his
professional calls on horseback. which
will be a picturesque feature Of military
activity at the National Capital It viii

plioity which has largely departed from

Seriously, If the army attending sur

him with one by authority Of law, the
terms Of which shall defy the exacting

TODAY IN HISTORY.
King Williams War-July 7.

During the early colonial period in this
country, when England, France. and
other foreign powers got into conflict
and they were almost continually doing
so-these conflicts were reflected IN
America. One of the first of these was
King Williams war;
When King James II Of England be-
gan to reign, being an ardent Catholic
and the majority of his subjects being
Protestants. trouble began to brew, for
1t was claimed that he tried to use his
power to convert his country to his own
religion. He was compelled to flee TO
France. and his daughter and her hus-
band became the joint sovereigns OF
England as William and Mary
The King of France Louis XIV. was
in full sympathy with James More
over. he denied the right Of a people TO
change sovereigns. and war between the
two nations followed The American end
of the war came to be known as King
Williams war" and was commenced In
a rather unusual way on July Z. 1888. On
the evening Of that day two Indian
sQuaws came to the home Of the aged
Maj. Waldron, az Dover. n. H. They
begged a nights lodging. Being ad-
mitted, shortly after retiring they arose
and let in a large number of Indians
who lay in ambush
Waldron was put to death with fright
full fortunes. the town was burned TO the
ground. about half the people were mas
sacred and the remainder were carried
away and sold into slavery. This was
the start of a series of fierce conflicts
on the American continent between the
English Protestants and the French
Catholics. covering a period of seventy
years. with occasional intervals of peace.
Other New England towns met the
same fate as Dover. including the burn
ing of Schenectady. n. Y, in February.
1896 The war spirit was thoroughly
aroused throughout the colonies A land
force was organized and seat against
Montreal. while naval expedition was
started for Quebec. The expenses Of the
former We're borne by Connecticut and
New York. and the latter by Massachu-
sets. Sir William Phipps. of Maine,
commanded the naval force. He met
with little success. and soon afterward
was sent to England TO seek aid of the
King. William was hard pressed at
home, and he left the colonies to fight

Unappreeiative Subject of PRAYER.

him the error of his ways; remove from
him his wicked impulses. desires. and in

o Lord, wash him and make him ciean,p
We are not sure just how far the courts
will wish to 90 in CONSIDERING the point
raised in issue here, but there is a point.
most assuredly. What right had Brother
Strohrs neighbor to hold up Brother
stroll publicly, even in prayer, in such
fashion as this? Brother Stroll may not
think himself a man of wicked impulses
and desires. He may consider himself
anything but a miserable sinner In need
of washing. And his view may be lust
as good on that point as his neighbours.
Indeed, this neighbor might find it worth
while to read the seventh chapter Of
Matthew, especially the first three or
tour verses.
We have no word Of discouragement
for the man who would pray for the sal
walton of a fellow-man's soul. Let him
pray early and often after that fashion.
A lot Of people need it. doubtless. It is
preferable, we think, however. that sueh
praying be done quietly and with low
breath. That same wonderful book OF
Matthew gives some timely advice about
praying in secret; and it might not be
bad idea for this neighbor Of Brother
Stroll to read the sixth chapter of Mat

careful note of the sixth verse of the
sixth chapter
