WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Justce Harlan en-
joys his daily walks. But he finds that auto
mobiles often interfere with his pedestrian
stunts; he doesn't like to have to be lodging
something every time he crosses a street. Just
the other day he was pulled from the path of
a whizzing auto by Chief Justice White, and
just in the nick of time.
Reaching the curbstone in the arms of his
rescuer, the justice, barely waiting to recover
his breath, expressed himself in no uncertain
terms of what reckless autoist may expect
in the future.
Some day." predicted Justice Harlan, "a
real man from the west, from the plains, from

More of His Intimate Writings
to dad" From WASH
ington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
T. r. is not for Taft. The busy
press agent of the white house
spends one day putting out the
story that Taft will have T. r. s
endorsement, and the next day
that he doesn't need it. Perhaps
he doesn't need 1t. Anyway, he
won't have it.
Senator Beveridge is loading up
on the Lorimer case. There are
a lot of senators who are loading
UP. The Lorimer case promises
to be the most spectacular topic
of debate at this session. The
question clearly put by this case
is this: Can a man whose efec-
ton to the senate is tanned by
bribery and corruption hold his
seat in that body?
The government has an action
for $170, 10000 against the rail-
roads for carrying mails. About
four years ago, you will recall,
Victor Murdoch, congressman
from Kansas, made a fight against
what was called the false divis-
or" used in calculating the weight
of the railway mail. AS a result
of his fight, Postmaster General
Cortelyou issued a special order
requiring that in future the mails
should be weighed seven days,
and that the total should be di-
vbded by seven instead of six in
computing the average daily haul.
AT the time this order was made
the difference between the results
worked out by the two divisors
was 100000 annually. The
practice of using six instead of
seven as the divisor had been car
ried on for "a years; hence ap-
proXlmately $170,000,000 excess
charges were paid out during that
period to the railroads. Fearing
that the government might move
to recover this enormous sum, the
railroads have, through their lob
bies, made efforts lately to have
congress ''legalize" the divosor
seven with the purpose of validat-
ing these old time payments.

COURT HOUSE RATS
TWICE VICTORIOUS
Two Games Of Exciting Baseball on
Memorial Day-Court House Rats
Winners of Both Games.
HATS OFF TO CAPTAIN cRAMER
Material in Denison for a Splendid
Team with Exception of Battery
Should Perfect Organization.

Two very interesting ball games
were played on the college grounds
Decoration day between the city
league teams. The first game was be-
tween the Court House Rats and the
Has Beens, the former winning 6 to 5
in a hotly contested game, first one
team being in the lead then the other,
the Rats winning out in the last half
inning. This makes two to one in
favor of the Rats over the Has Beens,
and naturally they are much elated.
There was nothing Of particular men,
ton except the all-around playing of
Leo Collins, who will probably develop
into the fastest player to be produced
in Denison for long time. The sec
ond game, between the Court House
Rats and the employees of Uncle Sam,
the postoffice, was also very interest
ing, the Rats again winning, 4 to 2,
and as a result Captain Cramer says
he would rather be captain of the Rats
than be president of the United States.
He says it is much easier. One thing
that was quite evident is that there
is a lot OF youngsters composing most
of the three teams who will develop
into some very good ball players. They
need considerable coaching in the
finer points of the game which will
come to them with experience. Had
Denison a frst-class battery team
could soon be developed that would
make the excellent team we had last
year hustle to beat them. We would
like to see the citizens who like clean
outdoor sport interest themselves in
getting a good ball team, and hire a
good pitcher and catcher; then go out
and show our neighboring towns what
Denison can do in the baseball way.
1t would create some excitement dur
ing the dull months to come.

Joe Christensen, the barber, lies in
a critical condition in the city hos
pital About week ago his condition
became such as to attract attention,
and since then the doctors have appre-
ciated the extremity to which he had
gone before they had taken hold OF
the case. On Monday morning an op-
Grafton was attempted, but it was
abandoned because it was believed re-
lief could not be secured by complet-
ing the operation, and that his ailment
had approached a crisis where sur
gical operation would prove futile and
dangerous. Since then little hope has
been given of his recovery. 1t is said
that he passed very restless night
until five o'clock this morning, after
which he rested easier for spell.
If the sympathy and prayers of com.
munty can save one in his condition,
he certainly stands show of recovery.

The originator Of widely known

dealing out justice to minor offenders.
A driver had been brought before
Judge Pollard charged with cruelty to
animals. He had been driving CALLED
mule, but he had an expert witness In
a veterinarian who testified that the
sore on the mules back did not pain
the animal in the least.
The judge listened attentively to the
long technical opinions and then de-
manded to know the mules where
abouts. He was informed that 1t was
harnessed to wagon which stood Oh
the street In front Of the courthouse
The judge then ordered that court to
be adjourned for FIVE minutes.
He took his cane and proceeded to
the street, went up to the mule and
with the end Of his cane gently touch
ed the sore spot on the animals back.
The mule promptly tried to kick the
dashboard Off the wagon. Once again
the judge touched the sore spot with
his cane, and the mule responded as
before.
Judge Pollard returned to the bench.
The prisoner was called before him.
with all due respect to the expert
testimony you have had introduced IN
YOUR behalf to show that the mules
back does not pain him, will fine
