Kidney diseases increase l67 per
cent in the City of Chicago in one
generation.
One of the most appalling facts
brought to light by the statistics OF
the United States Census bureau, is
the increase OF kidney and bladder
diseases. In less than one generation
these dreadful ailments have in.
creased 1877 per cent in the City OF
Chicago and In much the same. ratio
in other parts of the United States.
These diseases arise almost wholly
from the process Of straining the
human machine. They may be due to
over feeding or under feeding, to ov.

of those Irregularities in living which

Electric Current
Kills Mill Foreman

Bingham, Feb. 26.-Matt A. Wright
night foreman of the Ohio copper
mill at Lark, was electrocuted at
about $3.50 o'clock this morning.
No one witnessed the fatality, and
therefore the details are not known
and can only be surmised. Acting
Coroner Dudley was notified OF the
accident and went to Lark 10 make
an investigation His research caused
him to conclude that no responsible
ity could be attached to any living
person, but that Wroght's death was
purely the result of accident.
1t appears that at $3.50 this morn

transformer house near the mill 10

which was one of his regular duties.
About fifteen minutes later the pow
tCrily and one of the men went to
the transformer house to see what
was wrong. The body of Wright was
found lying close to the perpendic-
ular lighting arresters, and parallel
with them.
Apparently in moving about the
place Wright had gone too near the
arresters, and from great burn on
his left shoulder it is supposed that
he must have fallen against them.

FLAYS THE COURTS OF
BOTH STATE AND NATION

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSB
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-A scathing
denunciation of American justice and
American courts, which he declares
are the last bulwarks of the trusts, is
voiced by c. p. Connolly, lawyer and
publiciSt, in an article appearing in
EverybOdy's Magazine tomorrow. He
says in part:
Il am prepared to prove that the
business interests have retreated into
The courts preparatory to making their
last stand behind the judiciary. My
investigation extends almost into ev-
cry state and into both federal and
state courts.
Il have unearthed an astounding
tale Of judicial perversion and MAX
practice.
Il will prove that when the higfl-
est courts in many states rendered
important decisions, political leaders
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Cali
fornia and Colorado have entered the
courts, and thereupon judges, like pup-
pets at the end of string, turned un-
dignified somersaults.'
Connolly then alleges instances Of
bribery. He alleges that the Judge
was intoxicated when he gave de
cision in an important case where
Conolly was counsel. He concludes
by saying:
These evil decisions extend from
commonwealth to commonwealth, cor
rupting the entire legal system of the
nation"
