TAFT DEFEATS RAILROADS
Prevents Increase in Freight Rates
 by Vigorous Action.

President Tafts methods of doing his work as president without seek ing to achieve personal notoriety from his good works was never better il- lustrated than in his ultimatum to the railroads of the country which prevented a general increase in rail- read rates just prior to the adoption of amendments tO the railroad rate law two years ago. The president served notice upon the railroads that if they anticipated the new law they would be halcd into court and as T result oc subseduent conferences the railroads agreed to postpone their ac- ton until the new law was passed.
 In the new law of congress Pres iGent Taft assisted in inserting q pro vision which transferred from the shoulders of the shipper to that of the railroads the burden of proof in

CHEMISTRY OF THE SOUL.
London Scientists Also Debate SpoOks
and Flowers That Get Drunk.

and Flowers Ihat Get Drunk.
After daringly facing the problem, Is
life just arrangement of chemicals,
the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science went a step farther and
debated the question, Is there a SOU;
and, if So is that too, merely a chemical
affair?
At the conclusion of this amazing ar
gument the members are ready for any
new ideas. even that love, hate, and piety
are just chemical processes. DR.. J. S.
Haldane started things by saying:
Consciousness seems nothing but
consequence of physical or chemical
changes in the body. Cut off the oxygen
supply and in a few seconds all con-
seriousness disappears. 1t is possible mar 5
behavior may be chemically affected, ell
tirely possible that owing to the chemical
means he may be reduced to the level OF
the beasts. If there is a soul all its mani
festations are dependent upon physical
conditions"
Prof. Geddes, declaring the discussion
timely and necessary, said:
We are escaping from the OLD separa
ton of corpse and ghost which left notE-
ing but the dissection table and the
spook."
Leonard Hill then made an apology for
moments of scientific hysteria, from
which it was gathered that the discus
sion must not be taken too seriously
Among the scientific titbits picked up
was the fact that there are such things
drunken flowers, Prof KeebIe declar
ing that if one made certain white flow
ers, notably the pure white primua anG
white sweet william. intoxicated with al
cohol, they would flush scarlet, just
would do.-London cable to the New Yotk

HE BROKE HIS LEG.
It Was Wooden Leg, It's True, But 1t
Kept Him Out of Court.

Antoine Kohs not only gained the
enmity of the court, but caused a
number of witnesses to swear and tear
their hair because he did not appear
in police court Friday afternoon. He
had been arrested and charged with
trespassing oil railroad property after
having had a quarrel with a number
of Rock Island depot employees.
The mystery was not solved until
this morning when Detective Frank
Summers called on him to demand an
explanation and to take him to the
police station. Antoine explained that
he would if he could but he couldn't
because he had a broken leg-not his
good leg but an artificial leg which
he used as a pedal extremity in the
place of the real one which has been
amputated. Anton will appear in
court next Tuesday, If they have to
bring him in a wheelbarrow.

BEACH CASE ENDED.
Only One of Family Remains and She
Is Sent to Orphans Home.

a case that has aroused a great deal
of sympathy as we'll as more or less con-
demnat ton, and which recently has been
disposed of by Probate Judge w. F.
Schoch. is that of W. r. Beach, his wife
and two children, the elder of which was
a step-child. The younger child, the only
one of the family left now except the
father, has been ordered sent to the
Orphans Home, and will go soon as
arrangements can be completed.
The case has received considerable
publicity, most of which, it is asserted,
has been exagg Grated. The records in the
probate court show that August II,
charging him with being delinquent
parent. At the time Mrs. Beach was dan
gerously sick and afterward died. A few
days later a complaint was filed charging
that the oldest girl, Mary McDaniels,
Beach'S step daughter, was a delinquent
child. Warrants in both cases We're held
up from a humanitarian standpoint for
Beach, because of his wife'S dangerous
sickness, and for the girl because she
was dangerously sick when the complaint
was made and subsequently died.
On September 10 both cases were dis
missed, the Beach case at the request of
the county attorney; the other because
the girl was dead. At the time of the
first complaint it was charged, and pub
Iished that Beach had woefully mistreat-
ed the girl in that he had beaten her
while she was sick, and had neglected to
furnish suitable medical attention. Beach
is a poor man and claims he was unable
to hire physicians and the charge that
he had beaten the girl never was sub
Stimulated in court, no hearing ever having
been held.
On August rs a complaint charging that
Myrtle Beach, a younger daughter, was
delinquent was filed, and on October II,
after Judge Schoch had talked to Beach
and had been informed that the man had
no way of providing for the girl, he sent
her to the Orphans Home. Beach is said
to be a hard working man, but one OF
