A seventeen-year-old negro boz

A seventeen-year-old negro boy
committed a brutal murder in
Wichita recently and confessed
to the officers. Now the papers
say he will probably make a de-
tense on the grounds of insanity.
Has it come to pass that a per-
son is considered crazy if he tells
the truth?

Suess describes the rock about Boul-

more prOdigious in extent
Sometimes they have been worn
down nearly to the general level. but
near Elkhorn the old batholite yet

THE TERRIBLE bATHoLITE.
Molten Rock That Bores Upward
Through the Earth's Crust.

Molten Rock That Bores Upward
Through the Earth's Crust.
Batholite is a term invented by the
great German geologist Eduard Suess
to describe the gigantic intrusions of
molten rock which. according to him.
bore their way upward through the
crust of the earth from the eternal
depths below, cutting through the
strata and folds of the mountains very
much as a white hot soldering iron
may be thrust through a plank, burn
ing its way across the grain Of the
wood as if it were cheese.
These batholites Turk deep in the
earth, where the temperature is thou
sands of degrees. and gradually melt
their way to the surface above them.
Generally they issue in the form of
tremendous domes of hot rock. tower
ing up to mountain heights and often
giving birth to volcanoes. When
batholite, as sometimes happens, does
not reach the surface it's roof opens
in a network of assures. lava pours
out and a whole group of volcanoes
appears at that point
Suess has recognized the remains of
many cooled batholites on various
parts Of the earth's surface, and he
says that the consolidated crust of the
earth, even at the present day. may
be exposed to these mighty intrusions
from below. The batholites bring up

The Silks of .Samarkand.

The silks and velvets of Samarkand.
long famous for the rainbow blending
Of their colors. have a season, exactly
like fruits or garden truck. and can only
be purchased at that particular time
of the year. When the worms are
ready for spinning they are all brought
to the silk bazaar and sold. The silk is
then spun and dyed. and all that is not
used in the makers family is exported
in the form of cloth. Thus. unless you
happen TO be in Samarkand during the
season. it is all but impossible to find
any of the native silk for sale except
in the form of ready made khalats.

Western Trunk Line committee.
Declared Rates Unjust.
The shippers declared that the rates
are unjust Had the petition for the
restraining order been denied. it is
learned that the government contem-
plated action under the provision of
the Sherman law, alleging combination
in restraint of trade. The procedure
is declared an unusual one, but de-
clared that this course was arrived at
as the best, as the rates complained
of, had not the restraining order been
granted, would have gone into effect
today.
The governments petition states
that unless the restraining order was
granted, the advances would become
effective to do grave harm and injury
to the people.
The restraining order declared that
it was issued upon the statement of
the counsel for the government that
they would Immediately upon the filing
of an injunction, file an expediting GER
tificate providing for speedy deter
mination of the issues in contention.
Get Together Monthly.
The petition alleges that the defend
ants are members of the western trunk
line committee (unincorporated, with
headquarters in Chicago, which is the
instrument by which the freight rates
have been fixed; that the charges be
made the same for all defendants, and
made so by agreement. The petition
says that representatives of all the
roads in the committee meet monthly
and make traffic changes which are not
adopted unless they are agreeable to
all. 1t is claimed thus that all compe-
tition between the defendants is sup
ed an unlawful combination and con-
spiracy in the restraint of trade.
Outcome of Agreements.
The petition charges that the adj
vanced rates are the direct outcome of
these agreements in suppression of
competition and of unlawful combina-
ton and that the acts of the combina-
tion in advancing the rates are a re-
suit of conspiracy. Further charges
are made that unreasonable and eX-
cessive rates apply to vast number
of commodities of prime utility and
daily necessity and that the unreason-
able advances apply approximately to
60 per cent of the commodities car
ried, and will increase the charges in
varying from 10 to 20 per
cent of the rate in effect heretofore
Unless the unreasonable schedule is
restrained, says the petition, the citi-
zens will be compelled to pay arbi-
trary, unreasonable and excessive
rates and will be deprived of the
benefits that might be expected to
flow from free competition.
