Judge Wickersham Addresses Har-
ward Law School.
Cambridge, Mass.-Attorney Gener-
al Wickersham, discussing "The Re-
lation of Legal Education to Govern
mental Problems" before the Harvard
law school association, described the
growth of federal power as exemplified
in the Interstate commerce commits
sion.
Discussing the various phases of
antitrust legislation and prosecution,
Wickersham expressed regret that the
crippled condition of the United States
supreme court prevented early decis-
ions in the tobacco and Standard Oil
cases.
~ greatly desired that the cases be
decided early" said the attorney gen.
real, principally desiring that the de-
cision be clear so that it would afford
a practicable standard which, while
protecting us against the inevitable
evils Of monopolies and attempts to
strife competition, would leave un-
trammeled the avenues of legitimate
development of commerce.
Wickersham expressed his approval
of the railway legislation passed by
congress, the extension of the power of
the Interstate commerce commission
and the establishment of a commerce
court.

CANT BLEACHFL0UR
Kansas City Jury Says It Is AduI-
tGratOd and MiSbPaRded.
Government Wins in Prosecution of
MiIlers-Price of Wheat viii
be Reduced Greatly.

Kansas City, Mo.-"We, the jury
find that the flour seized was adultera
ted"
"We, the jury, find that the -four
seized was misbranded.
These two verdicts were returned to
the Federal court here by the jury that
for more than five weeks has listened
to arguments for and against the
charge by the government that the 625
sacks of -four, bleached and sold by the
Lexington, Mill & Elevator company,
of Lexington Neb., and seized by the
government while in the possession of
the purchaser, grocer at Sable, Mo-,
were adulterated and misbranded.
The verdict, returned after seven
hours of deliberation, was acompIete
victory for the government, which
prosecuted the suit under the national
pure food and drugs act.
The government charged that the
flour was adulterated in that it was
bleached by the Alsop process, which
makes use of nitrogen peroxide in
bleaching flour. Misbranding was
charged in that the flour seized was
labeled fancy patent, which the e'goveru-
ment contended it was not, because
it was not made from first grade
hard winter wheat.
Bruce Elliott, chief counsel for the
millers, made the following statement
after the jury had reported:
"This case was not one that should
have been tried by a jury. l called
personally upon President Taft and
assured him all the millers desired was
fair test.
"The president assured me the mil
lers would not be harried and that
fair test should be had. Immediately
thereafter, under instructions Of the
attorney general, the seizures began in
different parts of the country. We
started out to defend the cases on the
assumption that the government would
permit them to be tried before ref
cree.
President Roosevelt appointed a
board of scientific men for just such
purposes and the board has settled
many cases that came up under the
pure food law, such, for instance, as
the benzoate of soda case. But when
this case to trial the attorney general
to let this board act and insis-
ted on jury trial"
Attorneys for the millers will file
motion for a new trial within 20 days.

cURTIss SAILS OVER SEA.
Mishap on First Trial Nearly Dumps
Aviator in Ocean.


Atlantic City, N. J.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss made an eight-minute flight direct
ly over the ocean at 6:23 Tuesday
evening. The trip included flight
along the entire front of the city,
about mile off shore, and 1900 feet
above the ocean.
The successful fight was the second
one attempted, the first resulting in a
mishap that nearly sent Curtiss into
the ocean. While he was making an
attempt to turn from the beach to go
to sea, an air eddy caught the plane
and dropped it within ten feet of the
water. Curtiss made quick turn and
drove his machine on the beach with
such force that wood standard along
side his seat was snapped.
The drop in the air and the jar as he
struck the beach unseated Curtiss, and
might have thrown him out but for
new brace built across his shoulders
and lashed to the machine.

Taft Will Begin Campaign of Edu.
cation in Conservation.
Washington-Alarmed at the SER
iousness with which Pinchotism is re-
garded in some parts of the country
and by certain classes of people, Pres
ident Taft is considering the advisable
ity of conducting campaign of educa-
tion in the hope of diverting the public
mind from the alluring but impractical
theories of the late forester and build
ing up in its stead a healthy sentiment
in favor of conservation that means
proper use and development of natur-
al resources.
During the closing days of congress
the president discussed this subject
with several senators, and to them he
voiced the opinion that something must
be done to check the present trend to-
wards Scialism, for Pinchotism is re-
garded as Socialism in one of its
most dangerous forms. While he had
not then formulated any definite plans,
he showed that he is thoroughly awake
to the situation and realizes that his
administration will find itself very
much embarrassed before it's close, un-
less drastic steps are taken to counter
act the work of men like Pionchot and
Garfield.

Disorders of the stomach.

The stomach, like all the other or
gans Of the body, is subject not only
to various forms of organic trouble
but also to many kinds Of functional
disorder, or neurosis.
In these nervous disturbances of the
stomach pain may be Just as severe
and the list Of symptoms just as long
and as trying as in true organic dis
ease, and 1t is often impossible to con-
vince the victim that he Is not suffer
ing from some terrible local disorder
calling for immediate operation.
The stomach Is usually somewhat
abused organ. 1t works hard, general
ly overtime. and often at tasks ex-
tremely distasteful to It, Small won
der, then, that 1t sometimes goes on
strike.
When 1t decides to do this, the weap-
ons 1t controls with which to boycott
and intimidate the rest OF the sys-
tenn are most efficient In times Of
normal health we are no more con-
scious OF the tremendous commotion
and toll going on in the stomach than
the passengers on sunny deck are
conscious Of the trials of the engine
room below them; but when the stom-
ach has stood all It is going to for the
present, 1t telephones the brain to that
effect, with the immediate result that
the whole consciousness Is flooded with
the misery resulting from its rebellion.
The visible signs Of this rebellion
are myriad. Among the most usual Of
them may be mentioned nausea and
vomiting, eructations that are some
times so acid that the very throat is
scalded, disagreeable sensations after
eating, that range from discomfort to
agony; and naturally in time gen.
eral rundown condition" OF the sys-
tenn.
When 1t can be proved that this
state of affairs Is traceable to abuse Of
the stomach, the treatment becomes a
comparatively simple matter; but in
many cases of so-called nervous dys-
pepsia" the trouble will be found to |
be a fault Of the nervous system, the |
stomach itself showing no sign of dis
ease, but simply suffering from faulty
nervous control, just as any other or
gan Of the body may. This diagnosis,
however, will be OF little comfort to
The patient so long as his stomach is
made the vicarious culprit for the
guilty nervous system.
When the trouble arises from causes
hat can be easily controlled, such as
improper food. hasty eating. irregular
meals, insufficient mastication, the
ure lies largely In the hands Of the
,atient himself.

Crops Wither Under Sun.

Washington = The grain crops in
Montana and the Western portion of
the Dakotas which are not receiving
irrigation water are literally dried up
and shrivelling in the fields, according
to a statement issued by the reclama-
tion service. Continuous hot winds
with the mercury near the 100 mark are
proving extremely disastrous, it is
said. The engineers in charge of the
reclamation projects reported that the
settlers upon the irrigated lands were
receiving a plentiful supply of water
and their crops were in excellent shape.

RUsso-JAP PACT SIGNIFICANT
Mikado's Manchurian Interests Safe
guarded Against U. S.

Tokio-A British paper, published
in Yokohama, says that the conclusion
of the new Russo-Japanese agreement,
on the GLORIOUS Fourth" was signifi-
cant in that it followed the failure of
Secretary Knox's Manchurian neutral
ization proposal.
This plan, it alleges, was really the
cause of a closer entente between Rus
sia and Japan. 1t adds that the new
understanding is apparently an answer
to the Chinchow-Agun railway scheme.
One of the native papers in Toxic
says that, while at first Japan and
Great Britain, together with America,
appeared to be antagonistic to Russian
arrogance in the Far East, later devel-
opments led Russians and Japanese to
take concerted measures against the
Far Eastern policy of the United
States.

COMBINE AGAINST u. S.
Latin-American Nations Resent Knox
Supervision of Affairs.

Washington-Tha at least three and
perhaps more of the Central and South
American republics will make a con-
certed protest Of some kind at the COM
ing international conference of Amer
lean states at Buenos Ayres against
the Central American policy of the
United States is possibility being
discussed in diplomatic circles here.
Rumors to this effect have been per-
sistent and some responsible Latin
American representatives admitted
their approximate truth, though none
would permit himself to be quoted.
The rumors have led to lively ex-
change of information among the Cen
tral and South American diplomats
here. Officials of the State depart
ment are watching the situation
closely.
Some of the more radical of the
Spanish-Americans are said to favor a
Latin-American alliance against the
United States. 1t is generally con-
ceded, however, that formal action of
this nature is unlikely.
The most that can be regarded as
probable is that the republics interest
ed will give the United States to un-
derstand automatically that the prin-
ciples represented in the attitude of
this government on the east coast of
Nicaragua will not be accepted willingly
as a part of the international law Of
the Americas. 1t is hardly likely that
this protest, if made, will become a
part of the official proceedings of the
conference.
