TAFT DENOUNCES CRITICS
OF THE SUPREME COURT
President Says Attacks on High Bench
Are Insult to Members and
to Himself.

Aberdeen, s. d. President Taft
In an address before the Aberdeen
Commercial club declared anew his
intention of having the Sherman
antitrust law enforced to the very
letter, and answered with much vigor
the charge that he had set up the Su-
preme court with the idea that that
body would emasculate that law.
The president referred to the crit.
cfsm OF the Supreme courts rulings in
the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust
tier from the fact than the charges
that the statute had been made In
effective.
The Supreme court. he said, had de-
clared that any restraint OF trade or
combination for the purpose OF sup
pressing competition and controlling
prices was an inhibition OF the law.
Il have challenged and l challenge
again." he shouted, ANY person to cite
case that he would condemn as a
violation OF the antitrust law that
would not be condemned under the de-
cisions Of the Supreme court. AS yet
| have heard no reply.
The only answer that has come has
been an insult to the court and an IN
suit to me. 1t is the charge that
set up the court with the purpose and
understanding that it would esnascu-
late the statute. Oh, gentlemen.
there is not the slightest foundation
for that
i am proud OF the men that have
put on the court, am proud t., have
found MEN with a standing as Elgh as
they to take the places on that bench.
and am willing to abide by the rec
ord that they have made and that they,
will make.

Among the objections raised by the

CYANIDE DRINK IS
TRACED TO PARSON
Richeson Gave Me "PoWder''
Girl Told Chum.
DAMAGING POINT is SCORED
Miss Avis linneii Confided to
Friend, Just Before Her Death.
That She Was Given 4 "Head-
ache" Cure.

Boston.-Most damaging OF all
points scored by the police against
Rev. Clarence Richeson. held without
bail as the poisoner of Miss Avis Lin.
nell, Is statement by a chum OF the
dead girl that shortly before her death
Miss Linnell said to her that she had
just been with her friend" as she al
ways referred to Richeson, and that
he had given her some powder that
would cure her.
Il am SO happy" Miss Linnell told
the other girl, the police say. Now
shall not have any more headaches"
The other girl was not aware Of
Avis predicament and the little Hyan
mis- girl naturally wished to conceal
her real trouble. referring to it as
"heada aches"
The police regard this as the most
important evidence they have OBJ
tanned against the minister since
Hahn. the druggist, came forward with
the information that he had sold a
large amount Of cyanide of potassium
to Richeson ito kill dog"
1t is the first link connecting the
cyanide with the former pastor of the
fashionable Emmanuel Baptist church
in Cambridge. is known to have
bought, and with similar poison Miss
Linnell drank and died from in the
bathroom of the Y. w. G.. A. in this
city.
The police of Boston are tracing
Richeson's previous career and have
found that in some ways he was
prototype OF the famous Doctor
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
Richeson is tall. slender, dark and
Apolio-like in appearance. His is the
fascinating suavity of the typical
southerner He has a voice of
well trained actor. He is of poetic
mood and reflects the tender senti-
ment that captivates. Surrounded
with the sacred garb Of his profession.
II is little wonder that his career has
been one of continued feminine con.
quest.
How many girls he knew other than
Avis Linnell and Violet Edmands will
be developed before he is tried in
court OF law.

Our Rickety Men of Fame.

Many of the men whose names we
revere today in science, art. literature
and poetry suffered from emotional
disturbances, resulting in nerve
storms, or outbursts of mental vio-
lence, which can only be described az
huper-acute mania.
The poet Cowper had strong SUI
eidal tendencies; yet he wrote John
Gflpin" when suffering from intense
melancholia. Shelley had an insane
ancestry. and at Eaton he was called
Mad Shelley" Charles Lamb had to
be placed In an asylum, and his SIS
ter Mary stabbed her mother to the
heart while insane. Wordsworth and
his sister Dorothy are almost parallel
to Charles and Mary Lamb.
AT the age Of thirty Coleridge was
broken down, and he died a wreck
at sixty-two. Southey came of an in
sane stock. The mother of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, the dramatist. died
demented at forty-two.
Pope was deformed and rickety. and
Keats was homeopathic to his finger
tips. Byron's mother was unhal.
anced, and so was his materna, cYa"

Rites From Newsboy to
Millionaire.

Chicago. Eight days after his
parole from Leavenworth prison John
r. Walsh died at his residence
in this city. He lived to enjoy only
a few hours of freedom after suffer
ing 20 months of imprisonment. The
certificate ascribes his death to heart
failure. His relatives say the cause
was broken heart.
Just before he was attacked he had
been going over some of his papers.
seeking way to regain his foothold
In the Chicago world OF finance. Most
OF the papers in his home were re-
ceipts for the 100000 he had turned
over to his creditors in an effort to
pay their claims, and save himself the
disgrace of prison sentence.
When Mr.. Walsh left Leavenworth
prison he vowed that he would re-
cuperate his finances and again be-
come factor in the financial world.

of strenuous battle, in which his pulse
at one time beat only six times min
ute, and when the rally started arose
to twelve beats a minute and was
finally brought to normal, or between
fifty and sixty beats to minute.
The last words of Mr. Walsh as he
gained his senses following the severe
attack related to his possibility of
fighting the battle of finance. When
his pulse reached normal he gained
consciousness and asked why Dr..
Frank Billings was there. He realized
the Importance of the visit and said:
Il guess I'm pretty bad. | won't be
able to make the fight"
He then fell into state of uncon-
seriousness from which he did not
awaken.
The entire family was present when
he died.
Before the collapse or the Chicago
National bank, the Equitable Trust
company and the Home Savings bank.
John r. Walsh was interested in many
projects. The charges which sent him

operations in the bank mentioned, the
charges being the misappropriation OF
funds.

FREE AMTI-TOXlN is A BOON
Distribution of 4,2o7 Packages Dur
ing Year Saved Many from
Death by Diphthera.

Madison.-That the lives of hun
dreds of diphtheria patients in Wis
consin, among poor families, have
been saved in the last two years by
use of the states free anti-toxin, is
the showing made in the record of
the state board of health. An ordi-
nary case of diphtheria requires $50
or $50 worth of antitoEin to produce
results.
During the first two years 1927
packages of antitoxin were distrib-
uted. This has resulted in saving
to poor people Of the state of S13,-
217.60. In addition, it has saved
many lives. Reports show that where
antitoxin is used during the first two
or three days of the disease a cure
invariably results.
