TARIFF PLANK rs
SAME OLD SHAM

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 90. Colonel
Roosevelt and his platform got an edi-
torial lacing today in Bryan's Com
moner, which says in part:
The tariff plank is the same old
sham that has been used for a gene
ration to deceive the public. The pro-
tective sytsem Is held as sacred In
stitution and support is given to the
tariff commission idea which is al.
ways brought forward to delay reduc-
ton when the people rise In revolt
against high tariff duties.
The plank on the trust question is
a restatement Of Mr.. Roosevelt's po-
sition which leads directly to social
ism. The doctrine that the trust is a
national development and must be ac-
cepted as permanent Is the basis of
the socialist propaganda. The social
list, however, recognizes that pri-
vate monopoly cannot be successfully
controlled and insists that the gov
eminent shall own and operate the
trusts. The new party, on the other
hand, clings to the idea that the trust
can be left in private hands and yet
be effectively controlled through a
national bureau. All history is against
this theory. Municipalities are taking
over municipal plants because city
councils are corrupted by municipal
corporations. II 1t is impossible for a
municipal plant to be successfully con-
trolled when in private hands, how
can we hope to control billion dollar
trusts through national bureau when
the trusts will have SO large pecun-
larry interest In controlling the admin
istration that appoints the members
of the bureau? The position of the
new party on the trust question is so
absolutely untenable as to prevent its
Endorsement by any large number OF
the people, when 1t is fully under

HOUSE OF MYSTERY
YIELDS VICTIMS
Most Amazing Story Of Parental Neg
Iect Ever Brought TO Light in
New England.

Ulited Press Leased Wire Service. I
BRIDGEWATER, Mass, Aug. 22.-
The most amazing story OF alleged pa
rental neglect ever brought to light in
New England was discovered today
when four horribly emaciated chill
dren-o one a six year old girl weighing
less than Is pounds-were found in a
cottage known as the House of
Mystery
According to the agents of the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
10 Children, the father, Luther Wat
kins, has fled and cannot be found
He was the leader of new religious
sect. The mother has been summoned
to appear in the Brockton police court
Monday.
Three OF the children, hardly able
TO move, were taken to the state farm.
They were as white as chalk and
bones appeared to ps breaking
through their skin. They are six, eight
and twelve years old The fourth is
a baby girl, eight months old. The
baby was given to the mother, but
with the certainty that it will receive
good treatment, as the mother is I'M
der guard.
When the children were found, they
were on the verge of starvation and
had no strength whatever, according
to S. P. G. c. agents who raided the
house, accompanied by a policeman
The authorities believed that the old
er children have been prisoners for
more than year.

and sealed and soldered air tight. In
stead OF drilling hole In the can the
bullet exploded 1t, pieces of tin anl
spray being thrown in all directions
This is explained by the fact that the
molecules of water could rot adjust
themselves to the speed of the bullet
and the transmitted pressure from the
water exploded the can.
| The same effect is produced when a
high-speed projectile strikes flesh, es.
pecially watery issue, like the brains
A modern bullet striking a man
square in the forehead will burst his
skull in fragments and scatter his
brains in red mist
A similar effect is showr when a
bullet strikes hollow bone filled
with marrow. A solid. Enotty joint Of
bone is merely drilled by high-veloc-
lily projectile, but the hollow section
OF the bone is exploded. In the latter
case each fragment of bone becomes
itself missile, and horrible wound
is produced, giving a basis to the ac-
cusation of explosive bullets.
Medical officers in the army are
smiling at recent invention of a
Pittsburgh man who claims to have
discovered an anaesthetic bullet BY
imbedding grains of cocaine or NOR
phine on the surface of bullet the
inventor claims the missile will auto.
matically anaesthetize the wound It
makes, putting the victim into pain
less sleep.
This is humane discovery except
for the fact that 1t won't work, in the
opinion of the medical officers. In the
first place, they say, the heat from
the powder and the friction of the rifle
barrel would probably clean all the
anaesthetic from the bullet. II snffi-
cient quantity Of the narcotic were
used to stand this waste, there would
be no fixed amount removed in the
firing, and, while one bullet might car
ry no anaesthetic at all, the next
might bear a deadly overdose of mar
cotic, laying nation open to the
charge of using poisoned bullets.
Major Hartsock tells of numerous
experiments to ascertain whether
high-speed bullets make themselves
antiseptic and thus prevent blood-pois-
cning. 1t is an old claim that bullets
gather great heat through friction
with the air, and thus burn themselves
clean of impurities But, the Major
says, experiments have shown that
bullets do not sterilize themselves.
The greatest heat measured in the ex-
priments was in the 90 degrees cent?
grade, not enough to kill germs.
But, say the army surgeons. a bull
let is comparatively clean, and, of it.
self, rarely causes blood-poisoning.
The poison is carried into the wound
by the bullet. either in bits of clothing
or in the dirt on the wounded mans
skin.

But Medical Officers Say That
II viii Not
Work.

WASHINGTON, August 22.Ths
bromide assertion that as weapons u
killing are perfected by future inven
tion war will finally become so deadly
that civilized nations will voluntarily
give 1t up is disputed by Major Fred
erick H. Hartsock. of the army medi
cal corps, who in recent study OF
battle casualties, makes the assertion
and proves it with figures, that the
chances for soldier to come through
q battle unscatted are better in these
days of long-range rifles, gatling guns
and rapid-fire batteries, than they
were when the soldier in the line load
ed his squirrel gun from powder
horn and dropped a patched bullet
down on the charge.
The spear was deadlier than the
Mauser, according to Major Hartsock.
At the battle of Marston Moor in
1914 when the lance and the old bell
muzzle blunderbuss were the weapons,
16 per cent of those engaged were
killed or wounded. But this was the
least fatal great battle in the seven
teenth century. An average of Is OF
every 100 soldiers were killed or In
jured in the seven battles of Marston
Moor, Naseby in 164S, Leipsic in 1881,
Nordlingen in 1884, Seneff in 1874,
Lutzen In 1852, and Rocroy in 164s. IN
the last two battles named more than
onethird of the soldiers were killed or
Injured
Compare this with the Franco-Prus-
sian war, In which both sides used
breech-od fling rifles In the six great
battles ofGhis war the casualties were
only II per cent
In our country as weapons have
been perfected. life in battle has be.
come safer. At Bunker Hill the cas-
ualties were "a per cent: ait Lundy's
Lane 10 per cent. The only war battle
anywhere near as deadly as Bunker
Hill was Shiloh which just eaualled Y
casualties q per cent. But the
eight battles OF Shiloh. Chickahom-
iny's seven days. Antietam Freder-
icksburg. Charlottesville, Gettysburg
Murfreesboro and Chickamauga only
produced casualties of a trifle over Is
per cent of the men engaged
The frequent accusation In modern
warfare that an enemy is violating in
ternational rules by using explosive
bullets is the result of the effect of
bullets from high-power rifles on hui.
man flesh, according to Major Hart
sock. Probably every such accusa-
ton made in the last Is years has been
entirely baseless he believes. Only
permissible bullets have been used
but at the velocity with which modern
rifle bullets speed, their effect on
FLESH and bone is an explosive one.
Recent experiments with high.veIoc-
ity bullets have shown that human tbs.
sues cannot adjust themselves to the
penetration of the shot quic enough.
and instead of drilling clean hole
the steelpointed bullet literally shat
ters bone and flesh, spatterIng it in all
directions. Thus, at high enough We
locity, there is little difference in eff
feet between the steel bullet and the
soft-nosed "dum-dum" which civilized
nations have prohibited In war.
This was shown in test by firing
high-velocity steel bullets of small
calibre into tin cans filled with water
