Answer.
CD Yes.
CD The same that made the whole
instrument so undemocratic.
CD When the Wilson tariff bill
was Commanded by LOO Senatorial
amendments which absolutely revo-
lutionized it, In those amendments,
the Sugar Trust and other greedy
corporations got what they wanted.
When the Anti-Option bill, which
the House passed, was killed by the
Senate.
When the Payne tariff bill (Which
was abominable) was made very
much worse in the Senate.
(4) That would require a great
deal more space than we can afford
to give the subject.
CD With a few honorable excep-
tons, they all are.

of man for woman, that, aroused
simply by the sound of a poice,

story is Intensely romantic and
al1uringly mysterious. The in

cleverly shown, and the familiar
Italian brand of Intrigue is laid

an eccentric German nobleman, Baron
Oscar Won Muench, who is a millionaire
Tin marks. and owns five large estates.
has occupied the imperial high court at
Leipzig.
The baron belongs 10 an old family
and has an uncomfortable temper. He
first got notoriety by thrashing his bank
er and was sent to Jail for lampooning
his Judges. He pleaded insanity and the
court placed him under control and ex-
He'd him TO one Of his estates.
Here he quarreled with his stable man
ager and fred five bullets into him. The
court after this pronounced him insane
and sent him TO an asylum TWO months
later he was released, but Il was declared
that he was dangerous TO public safety
The baron nexs advertised for wife and
found one. During the honeymoon he
suddenly began proceedings for divorce.
but lost his case and was ordered to pay
his bride a large allowance. Since then
the baron has been more eccentric than
ever and the present proceedings have
been taken 10 replace him under control.
A queer feature of HIS case is that
while he is debarred from entering GER
tain German states. where he has been
declared dangerous TO public safety"
he is free to do as he likes in others.

ALAS! POOR SHAKESPEARE
His DetractOrs Say He Could Not
Write His Name.
Bacon Society Holds that None OF
Signatures in Existence
Are Genuine.

London. July 1s-Alas. poor Shakes
peare. His detractors. after denying that
he wrote the works generally attributed
TO him. now say in all seriousness that he
couldn't even sign HIS own name. Thus
Sir Edwin Durning-Lawrence at the
Bacon Society.
Baconians hold that not one Of the FIVE
legal signatures in existence which were
believed to be Shakespeare's was his.
Among them are the legal signatures on
purchase deed Of property at Black
friars and the execution Of a mortgage
deed. These are preserved in the Guild
hall and the British Museum.
Experts have now come to the conclu-
sion. so Sir Edward Burning Lawrence
announced. that they are In the same
handwriting. that the signatures were
written by the same hand that wrote the
body OF the deeds. and that clerk had
written them both and affixed the sigma
ture at the end. The signatures to these
documents is "Shaxpr" This does not
say much for the clerk. anyhow There
are in existence some other alleged
Shakespearean signatures besides those
referred to, and these the Baconians be-
lieve either were written by clerks or are
forgeries.

COURT EXEMPTS AVIATORS
Held Not Responsible When Spec
tators Are Injured.
Ruling In Paris In Case of mex
perienced AerOpIanist Who Fell
in Crowd Causes Interest.

Paris. July 16-what Is the precise
responsibility of an aviator If an ac-
cident occurs and other people happen
to be hurt?
This question was brought up before
Paris police court The aviator. who
had been charged with inficting wounds
through imprudence, TO use the legal
phrase. had about o'clock in the after
noon Of October IS. gone up in his aero
plane, at Juvisy. when he came down
with II right among the spectators, sew
eraI Of whom were injured.
It was argued by the prosecution that
the accident had occurred through his in
experience. so that he was TO blame;
but the court decided otherwise, and,
regarding this as case Of what 1t called
force ma1eure," which means that he
could not help himself. he was &C
quilted The plain fact is that when
people take up their position on an savi-
alton ground they we'll understand that
they are running a certain risk. so, OF
course. is the aviator. and II he comes
TO grief he Is constrained TO do the
best he can for himself. II, however,
an aviator should alight on some person
quite outside Of the allotted limits of his
flight. 1t would probably be a very diff
ferent matter. There is no reason why
the general public in fields OF roads
should suffer because some people in
dulge in aviation experiments.

BOOM IN ENGLISH TRADE
County Never So Prosperous, Says
Chancellor of Exchequer.
Figures in Budget for Next Year
Indicate Enormous Wealth of
United Kingdom.

London. July 16-For partisan political
purposes it has been the habit Of many
English editors to write about the alleged
financial decadence Of England. To read
them you would think that England was
on the verge OF bankruptcy. The chan
oellor of the exchequer. on the other
hand, In introducing HIS budget for next
year. stated that the country never was
SO prosperous, and that there was big
boom In trade everywhere.
To judge by the unprecedented amount
OF new capital that London found during
the first six nlsnths OF this year England
is far from beng broke. The Economist
shows that IN the first three months OF
this year es9, S55, 600 was invested in new
undertakings. and in the next three
months ess.72l. 200.
These figures are indications OF a great
boom In business. and, OF course. OF
speculative activity. Rubber companies
account Tor el6,500.O00 Of the half years
total and oil companies for es,5eo.o00
The tabulated statement IN the Eeono-
mist shows that fair proportion OF the
new capital IS for the home market but
the larger proportion was invested in en-
terprises abroad.
There is no reason for disquietude in
THIS fact, il is asserted. What the figures
Of new capital indicate is the enormous
wealth OF the United Kingdom. The
stream Of British capital still flows over
the earth ike a fertilizIng stream. OF
the increase in the amount OF capital
sent abroad the bulk will be employed in
the construction OF railways and the
development OF agriculture or industry.

record. but England viii have second
place if the big dry dock built at Bar
row by Vicker's Sons & Maxim for the
Brazilian government reaches Rio Janerio
safely.
The distance is some $500 sea miles.
approximately one-third OF the distance
the Dewey was lowed. The Brazilian
dock is $50 feet long and 80 feet broad.
II is now at sea, being towed to Brazil
by two Dutch tugboats especially built
for such service.
The cost OF the towage IS estimated at
$4,000 There viii be no calls at ports
on the way to reeoal. for the tugs are
abundantly supplied with fuel and an
additional supply is slowed on the dock.
The dock cost 100000 and was built
to lift the big battle ships. constructed in
England for Brazil II is expected the
tugs will consume two months in reach

SCIENCE OF SCARPoLoGY.
II Is Art of knowing Man by Ex-
aiming His Footwear.

Berne, July 16.-Those who have hith-
erto been interested in analyzing the
down-at-heel condition OF a section Of
their feIlow-creatures may be pleased TO
hear that they have been dabbling in a
science distinguished by the name of
scarpology, of which Dr. Carrier, OF
Basic, is the chief exponent. It Is the
art OF knowing men and women by the
examination of their footwear
Criminal Investigators. As well as 9TH
ers who wish TO read character accu-
rately, cannot afford to disregard scar
pology, says the doctor. Given a pair of
shoes worn by their owner for at least
two months, and he can tell the charac-
ter, disposition, and habits OF the wearer
BY careful practice one may in a few
minutes gauge man at his worth sim
ply by glancing at his feet
Roughly speaking, the chief indications
of character lie In the manner and pro-
portion in which the soles and the heels
are worn out. Beware OF the man who
wears out the toe and the external edge
Of the sole simultaneously. says DR. Gar
rior. He win almost invariably turn out
a crook. It is up to the crooks now TO
disguise their feet
