Sentence TOO LIGHT
Local Labor Leaders Dis
pleased with Judgment.

In no uncertain terms members of
various local unions expressed them
selves on Monday upon the Mcnamara
case, declaring that union men here
as we'll as in other parts of the coun-
try were led to believe the Mcnamara
brothers were not guilty and they re-
ceived a large amount of money and
support from thousands OF union men
by misleading them.
When the news that James B. Nc.
Namara was given a life sentence and
John B.. his brother was sentenced to
fifteen years in prison was heard, sew
eral union men declared that the sen.
tences were too light They declared
that James b. Mcnamara should have
been hanged and that his brother
should have received q life sentence.
While the majority Of local union
men believed the Mcnamara brothers
innocent and falsely accused. it is said
that very little money was given to
ward their defense. The various un-
ions were not assessed the same
amount, although every union was
asked to contribute AZ much a. pos.
sible toward the defense Of the twu
men. i

DUTY Of SURGEON
RELATED TO JURY
Interesting Instructions by
Court in the King
Damage Case.

Definition of the duties imposed up
on physicians and surgeons, as these
duties are recognized in the eyes of
the law, is made by Judge H. c. Fox
of the circuit court in his instructions
to the jury, celebrating on the NAL
practice case of Leota King against
Dr. Frank Harold, who demands $4,000
damages for alleged unskillful treat
ment of a double fracture of her little
finger on the left hand. The jury re-
ceived the case Tuesday afternoon at
ter four days of testimony and argu-
ment.
Tersely the court ruled that when a
physician or surgeon held himself out
to the public as such he must possess
the ordinary qualifications and skill,
usually and ordinarily possessed by
physicians and surgeons practicing in
the same neighborhood. He does not
have to be rarely endowed with skill,
but must in accepting cases, exercise
reasonable care and his best judgment.
He Is liable for an injury only when
he does not exercise ordinary care and
his best judgment, as these qualifica-
tions in a pfacticioner are recognized
in the community in which he prac-
tices.
Mrs. King was injured in March
1909. She said that DR.. Harold re-
duced the double fracture by binding
it in adhesive tape without inserting
splits. The physician alleged he did
use cardboard splints. winding the
tape about these. Physicians and sur
geons were called upon the stand to
testify in the capacity of experts as
medicine and surgery is practiced in
this city. They approved of the meth
cd which DR.. Harold said he employ
ed in reducing and treating the frac.
ture.

MAYOR IN FAVOR OF
TRACK ELEVATION
Says Railroad Crossings Are
Too Dangerous To
Advise with Neff.

Deploring the conditions of the rail-
road crossings in this city regarding
the matter of safeguarding the public
from accidents, Mayor Zimmerman at
the meeting of the board of public
works Monday made a motion to the
effect that in any future conference
between the board and the officials of
the Pennsylvania railroad company,
that the board insist upon the tracks
of the company being elevated so as
to permit undergrade crossings. Mayor
ings were entirely too dangerous un-
der the present arrangement for guar
ding them.
1t is estimated it would require an
enormous sum to raise the tracks Of
the company, and there is great deal
of doubt among city officials as to
whether the railroad company would
ever consider the advisability of ele-
waiting the tracks.
At previous meeting of the board
of public works the mayor made mo-
ton to the effect that both railroad
companies be forced to maintain cleo
trio are lights at every railroad cross
ing. and to station watchmen at the
crossings, both day and night. Nettle-
ton Neff. superintendent of the Rich
mond division of the road, has re-
quested the board to do nothing fur
ther with this matter until he can con-
fer with the board.
The board desires to widen West
Main street from Fifth street to the
corporation line and instructed the
civil engineer to prepare plans and
specifications for this.

TAKES ISSUE WITH
ROOSEVELT'S VIEWS
Denies Government Intends
Confiscating the Property
of Any of the Offending
Corporations.

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-President
Taft sent special message to con-
gress today dealing exclusively with
the trust problem. The President
gave his own views on it's solution,
demanded legislation to supplement
the Sherman antitrust law and took
direct issue with criticism of the dis
solution plan for the American Tobac-
co company, as expressed by express
ident Theodore Roosevelt in The Out
look.
Among the recommendations made
by President Taft are demands for a
law specifically defining restraint of
trade and suppression of competition -
a federal corporation commission and
federal incorporation act. He up
holds the Sherman law and defends
the results of litigation under that
measure.
In defending the action of the U. S.
SuPl cHC COulL LII llc oJaAuo1u OAl
decision, in reading the word "unreas.
enable" into the law, President Taft
deplored the agitation for the repeal
Of the law which has sprung up since
the Standard and American Tobacco
trusts were dissolved.
Cites Court Rulings.
The message, which contains be
tween 5000 and 1900 words is accom-
panied by numerous extracts from
court decisions to uphold Mr.. Taft's
contentious.
One feature of the message is con
tanned in paragraph in which Pres
ident Taft disavows the intention o1
the government of confiscating prop
erty of offending corporations. The
President calls attention to the fact
that Imprisonment is one form of pun
ishment provided for in the antitrust
law for offenders.
Mr.. Taft declares that the Sherman
law protects business and says that
1.-The mere size of corporation is nc
sin against the antitrust" law.
In his plea for supplemental legisla
ton to the Sherman act, the President
says that it would be great aid t.
the government in bringing future an
thrust suits because the proceeding,
could charge misdemeanor instead
of the cumbersome method of charg
ing a conspiracy and naming an unus
ually large number of defendants.
Mr.. Taft advocates that the burea,
of corporations be tribunal of tht
dignity and power of the comptrollel
of currency and be modelled after tn.
interstate commerce commission. HI
call the antitrust law "the expression
of effort of liberty loving people tt
preserve equality of opportunity"
For twenty years." he said, this
statute (Sherman law was on tn,
statute books. All knew its genera
purpose and approved. Many of it.
violators were cynical over its as
sumed impotence"

PROFITABLE INVESTMENT

You advertise to sell your goods and
keep your name in front Of the public.
1t is only reasonable that you will be
better able to do this with persistent
effort than with spasmodic attempts. If
you were to tell man or woman daily
about the quality and prices of your
wares you would produce more effect
than if you were to talk to him or her
at uncertain intervals.
The custom OF changing the sales
manship or copy" in your advertising
space is an important one. 1t acts
this way. Suppose you had a pile of
some special goods for sale. Suppose
you were determined to sell some of
those goods to some particular custom
