PLANNING FOR A
N0lSELESS WORLD.
Scientists to Consider Ways and Means
at August Congress.

Science is planning a comparatively
noiseless world-a world In which
clamor and clangor are reduced to n
minimum. Men of learning, such as
DR.. Clarence John Blake, professor of
otology at Harvard Medical school,
says there is absolutely no reason why
there should not be such a world in
existence If the citizens Of this and
other supposedly civilized countries
can be weaned away from the sur
vivals of savagery. Noise, at least loud
noise, he says, is needless.
When 500 distinguished physicians
and savants from all parts of Europe
Harvard Medical school next August
in the international biological congress
this matter of noise will be one of the
most prominent topics.
1t is contended that the hustle and
hustle of city life, the footing of whis.
ties. the roar of trains and other noises
are taking their toll from the health OF
the community. The ear is becoming
abnormal and blunted; the sensitive
mechanism Of hearing in an effort to
exclude the never ending annoyance Is
tbickening. Gradually the roar of the
city works upon the nerves and brain,
producing irritation and exhaustion.
Nervous prostration. a disease of cit
les, is one result. deafness another and
suffering to the weak and GONZALES
cent still another.
"Noise," says DR.. Blake, '1s barba.
rous. Its presence in a community
points to barblrism. If we pretend
to higher civilization something must
be done to prevent it. The question
of noise is question of economics, be-
cause the presence Of unnecessary
noise is as much an indication of a
waste of energy as the heating Of a
bearing in a machine"
The congress next August will go full
ly into ways and means of making the
world noiseless.

PAWNED SHOES TO BUY POISON.
Was One Of Two Men Who Committed
Suicide In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 80. - Two men
committed suicide in this city recently,
while a third, Thomas Bibby, thirty
one years Old, was prevented by his
wife, who had him quickly taken to
the Frankford hospital. At the hos
pital it was said that he would re-
cover.
Bibby's attempt at suicide was be
cause his wife refused to become rec
onciled to him, it is said. He went to
a stable and drank a quantity of poi
son. There his wife found him uncon-
scious and had him hurried to the
Frankford hospital.
Alexander McClelland, siXty-three
old, pawned his shoes for money to
buy whisky and poison. He then went
10 his home and told his daughter he
was going to kill himself She did
not believe him. An hour later she
found him in the cellar in a critical
condition. He was taken to the Epis-
copal hospital, where he died.

ENGINEMEN ENDING SESSIONS
Convention Takes Recess to Hear
Colonel Roosevelt.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 30.-Grand Off
GERS Of the brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers are shaping things so
that the convention, which has been in
session here since the middle OF May.
can be closed Friday night or Saturday
at noon. The business is practically
ont Of the way and today the conven-
ton took a recess and the delegates
went to Gettysburg to hear Colonel
Roosevelt, who made an address to
them.
The most important work to be done
by the enginemen will be action on the
proposition to have the brotherhood
pay directly from the general fund the
delegates for attendance at the conven-
ton. They are now paid IS a day
and expenses by the divisions they rep
resent. This change is being urged be-
cause the economy that will be effected
through the selection of Cleveland as
the permanent convention place. The
present convention has run very high
in cost. and it is estimated that over
$50, 900 has already been spent.

MALE BRAINS AVERAGE HIGHER
Dr.. Spitzka Finds Females Lower In
Abstract Mental Conception.

Dr.. Spitzka Finds Females Lower In
Abstract Mental Conception.
Dr. Edward Anthony Spitzka of
Philadelphia, noted as a brain expert
the world over, professor of general
anatomy at the jefferson Medical col
lege and director of the Daniel Baugh
institute, after having examined hun
dreds Of human brains declares that
woman as a sex never will be the
equal Of man in abstract mental con-
ception.
Apart from that capacity for alb
stract conception DR.. Spitzka declares
that his examinations have shown no
difference between the brains of the
sexes, except that the feminine brain
is smaller, fact which he attributes
to the smaller frame of the woman.
"In the female BRAIN" said DR.. Spitz-
ka. "the convolutions are broader and
Of more simple type. The female brain
is usually characterized by smaller
frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is con-
cerned more with the abstract con-
cept, and therefore it would seem that
the male is possessed of greater ca
pacity for abstract conception.
while no one will dispute that the
individual woman may excel the aver
age man, it is fact that in the mass
the brains of women are smaller. less
richly and less completely assured and
so endowed with less cortical area
than those Of men,"

SNAKE CAR FOR BENT STREET
Boston Trying ArtiouIated Trolley For
Narrow Thorouahfares.

A "snake" car, jointed coach which
it is hoped will be able to wind its way
through the sharp turning streets of
downtown Boston, is being experiment
ed with by the Boston elevated com
pany.
No passengers have been carried in
it, but If it proves as successful in the
city proper as it has in Roxbury it
will be introduced into the regular
through city lines, enabling the com
pany to run a fifty foot car where the
regular cars cannot travel.
This new car is provided with joint
in the middle and a flexible platform
covered with a hood When on Il
straight track it appears as one un-
broken length.
Center doors are also provided, and
the passengers will enter and leave at
that point. Two trolleys adorn the
roof The makers name for the device
is the articulated car.

Justice Chase's Trial.

John Randolph of Roanoke took the
lead against Justice Chase, and 1t was
largely through his influence and en-
ergy that the house of representatives
in 1904 presented articles Of impeach-
ment against him.
Chases trial before the senate fur
nished one of the most dramatic epi-
sodes seen up to that time in the halls
of congress. 1t attracted the atten-
tion of the entire nation. The benches
assigned to the senators, the jury in
the case, were draped with crimson.
To accommodate the women, who at
tended in large numbers, a new gal
lery was fitted up with separate boxes
for the 'ladies Of the administration
circle" Maryland friends of the ac-
cused justice thronged to the capitol
in such large numbers that they could
not all be accommodated. Vice Presi
dent Burr presided with a dignity and
impartiality which won general praise.
The venerable justice took his seat In
the center of the senate chamber in
front Of the presiding officer He was
defended by a coterie of brilliant law
yers.
At the conclusion of the arguments
the senate voted to acquit on five of
the eight articles in the charges. But
even on the three remaining articles
the vote fell considerably short Of the
necessary two-thirds majority required
to sustain a vote of impeachment.
Justice Chase continued to sit on the
bench of the supreme court undlsturb-
ed by further attacks until his death
in 1911.

Trial of President Johnson.

The impeachment trial of President
Andrew Johnson is the most famous
both because Of the questions involved
and because Of the personality and
official position Of the accused. 1t fol
lowed as the elimination Of two and
a half year struggle between congress
and the chief executive over recon
struction measures and policies. The
crisis was precipitated by the action
of congress in passing the tenure of
Office act over the presidents veto and
by its subsequent course in upholding
Edwin NJ. Stanton, secretary of war.

Only Eight Trials Have Been
Had Since the Adoption
of the Constitution.

UF the house of representatives de-
cides to impeach Judge Robert W.
u Archibald of the federal court of
commerce it will be the ninth time
in the century and a quarter since the
adoption of the constitution that this
procedure against a civil officer of the
national government has been insitut-
ed. OF the eight impeachments that
have been begun only two have result
ed in convictions. Both of those found
guilty were judges of the federal dis
trict court. OF those who failed of
conviction one was chief executive
Of the nation. one a secretary of war.
one Justice of the United States su-
preme court and two district court
judges.
The eight impeachments of federal
officials, which have been considered
by the United States senate are as fol
lows:
William Blount. United States sena-
Tor, 1928. no trial. lack of jurisdic-
ton.
John Pickering, United States dis
trict judge, 10000. tried. found guilty
and removed from Office.
Samuel Chase. associate justice of

James Peck. United States district

Two Greatest Cases.
The two greatest impeachment trials
Chase and President Johnson, must
both he considered In reality political
trials. There is no question that both
originated in political differences and
that in both the result. had either been
convicted. would have been largely po-
litical. In 1904 the partisan bitterness
between the old line Federalists and
the Republicans-the old ant-Federal-
iSts-was at white heat.
Samuel Chase, who was a signer OF
the Declaration of Independence, had
won wide renown as a lawyer before
he became chief justice of the criminal
court in Maryland, from which, in
1896, he had been transferred by
Washington to the United States SUI
preme court as an associate Justice
Although as deeply learned in the law
as any member of the court save Mar
shall and entirely above reproach, so
far as his personal integrity was con-
cerned, Chase was temperamentally
better fitted by reason Of his overbear-
ing manner and irascibility to be a
prosecuting attorney than a judge.
His intimate friendship with Washing
ton and his uncompromising adherence
to federal principles aroused the wrath
of the Republican leaders in congress
and marked him as an object of their
attack.
