The presence Of weeds, on many

few pastures, meadows and cultivated
crops are used in rotation with grain
the farmers will find it very difficult
to keep the weeds in check. q
Summer. following may destroy
weeds, but it requires a great deal Of
labor during the entire season, when
no crop is obtained from it.

When one of a team of mules drawing

plicity in violating the cruelty to ami
NAL law and adjudged him an ''acces-
sorry before and after the fact?"
This practically is the question which
a Police Court jury will have TO decide
in few weeks. George Pamm, a truck
man. was ordered to deposit IS at the
Fourth precinct station one day last
week because an agent of the Humane
Society declared that one OF a team of
mules drawing a wagon belonging to
tn etruckman was being worked with
sore back. Pamm went to the station
house and paid the penalty prescribed
by the agent. yesterday a warrant was
Issued hailing Pamm into the Police
Court on u charge of working a mule
with a sore back"
my client asked what mule the
thargee meant, explained Attorney
Matthew E. O'Brien, counsel for Pamm
to the court, ''and the only answer he
got was the other mule. | hardly think
this Is fair to fine my client for one of
the mules and have q warrant issued
charging him with similar offense re
garding the other animal of the team.
Why did not the Humane Society agent
charge him with working the two mules
with sore backs at the same time?"
Judge Mullowny granted Pamm a jury
trial on the motion of Attorney O'Brisn,
who declares that his client is being
prosecuted by the agents of the Humane

died last night at 1913 o'clock.
From mourning friends in London
magnificent floral tributes were received
at the Booth home at Hadleywood, a
suburb. The British press today was
unanimous in nominating the dead pa
triarch as one of the great world fig
ures in the spread of the Christian re-
ligion.
Colonel Kitching, private secretary to
General Booth, who was present in the
death room, told how the great evan
gelist had died.
general Booth passed away peace
fully with smile upon his face" said
Colonel kitching. He apparently felt
no pain, and all at the bedside were
struck by the beatifce expression upon
his face in the last hour of life. The
last person to whom the dying man
spoke was his son Bramwell Booth.
There was not dry eye.

upon him for the execution of the two

cause he has become the Presidents
enemy. According to other reports, Ii

Indian Bill Is Sent

yesterday after a warm discussion over
the value of resident agents on reser-
vations, Minority Leader Mann hasten
ing this disposition of the bill by as
serting that If 1t went to the President
with all the amendments included II
would meet with veto.
Congressman Burke of South Dakota
asserted that resident agents were a
great help to the Indians and aided
them materially to handling their af-
fairs and advancing their condition.
Congressman Davenport of Ohio denied
this statement and cited a number of
cases wherein agents are alleged to
have exploited Indians for pers sonal
gain.
In making his threat that the White
House would prove an obstacle If the
bill is not trimmed, Congressman Mann
characterized certain of the provisions
of the bill as bold steals"

CONGRESS SURE TO
END RATE COURT
las Veto May Save Tribunal for Present, But Temper
of Lawmakers Foreshadows Its Ultimate
DOOM
DOOM.

BY his insistence on the retention Of
the Court OF Commerce, President Taft
has apparently prevented that tribunal
from abolition at this session of Con-
gress. The President has shown un-
usual determination 10 force the reten-
ton of the Court of Commerce, and has
indicated that he will stay here all
summer and fall putting in vetoes If
need be.
While the court will doubtless be
saved for this session, the effect of the
fight on 1t has been important. In the
first place, it is likely to lead to the
abolition Of the court later on. 1t may
make the court more careful in the
granting of orders and injunCtions nulli-
flying the work Of the Interstate Com
And it is likely to result In further
Legislation by Congress which will
strengthen the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and make the orders of
that body less open to attacks by the
railroads, either in the Commerce Court,
or, should that court have to so, in the
district courts.
The disposition of Congress is to get
more and more impatient with efforts
to hinder and hamper the work of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. That
commission has the confidence of Con-
Gress, and any attempts to etnasculate

United States also Is strongly disposed
TO uphold the authority of the commis-

Commission Not To Suffer.
Between Congress and the Supreme
Court it is not likely the Interstate
Commerce Commission is going to be
allowed to suffer, even with the Com
merce Court protected by the vetoes of
the President.
The disposition of Congress on such
matters has been shown recently in the
killing of proposed legislation which
was badly wanted by the railroads, but
which came before House and Senate
in disguise as a demand by shippers to
be allowed to appeal to the Commerce
Court from negative orders of the com
mission. that is. from refusals of the
commission to make orders.
This was cleVerlY advanced as needful
for the protection of shippers: When
Congress found that the railroads want
