Assistant Prosecutor Ford declared
that startling developments, wholly

be expected at any time.
While extending to Darrow every
personal courtesy, the assistants OF
District Attorney John F. FTedericks,
his victorious adversary in the famous
dynamite trial, are bent on procuring
his conviction. The charges that he
bribed Robert Balm, a sworn juror
and George N. Lockwood, a venire-
man, will be pressed, although the &C
tual passing the money, it is alleged,
was intrusted to Detective Bert
Franklin, who is scheduled to be tried
on similar charges February 27.

ABDICATION EDICr
SIGNED BY THRONE
Manchu Rulers Threatened by Loyal
Troops-Beseeed in
Palace.

Tientsin.-An abdicatjon edict has
been signed by the Manchu rulers
who are besieged in their palace at
Pekin and for the present have no
means of escape.
The troops OF the Manchu garrison
have sworn vengeance on the EN-
press dowager and the princes for
their act and have. declared they will
shoot them on sight. Every precaution
is being taken to guard against treach-
cry within the palace.
The abdication has precipitated cha
otto conditions here. The officials are
in panic, the mayor has resigned
and fed with his family to the French
concession. Martial law has been
proclaimed in the native city.
The edict grants the request of Yuan
Shi Kai that the bestowal of a mar
quisate upon him, which the throne
has proposed, be deferred until after
peace has been restored.
This request of the premier is Ia
ken to indicate that he has transferred
his allegiance to the republicans, but
will remain in Picking to prevent a
Manchu outbreak.

Cleveland, Ohio-President Tart

ton when he made a defense OF MS
administration before the Tlppecanoe
club of this city and def1ed the Demo
cratic party to show wherein the Re-
publicans had failed to keep their
pledges made in 1908.
Showing that he was unwilling 10
wait for further assaults from the
enemy, the president took the OMEN
sive and invited the country to pass
Judgment upon his stewardship. he
said the party record was an open
one and was worthy OF the pest Ira
ditions of Republican rule.
The president defended the Payne
Aldrich tariff, while admitting It's
shortcomings; he justified his vetoes
of the Democratic revision bills at
the extra session and he made plea
for the continuance of the tariff board
He also renewed his adherence to the
protective policy.
The president called attention TO
the railroad bill, making the inter
state commerce law more effective
and creating the court of commerce
He said it would be foolish and futile
to abolish this court because 1t has
reversed the interstate commerce
commission. He also commended the
safety appliance legislation OF the last
congress.
AS for the enforcement of the anti
trust law the president said:
THE laws have been enforced. Inc
interstate commerce law and the anti
trust law. Indictments have been
found and bills in equity have been
filed in cases that seemed to call for
governmental action, and they have
proceeded to judgment in due course,
and the judgments have been en-
forced"

Much has been made of the fact
that the shepherds of Palestine lead
their sheep. This custom has arisen.
of course, through the absence OF
roads and the scanty nature of the
pasturage found on the mountain
sides. 1t would be impossible to drive
the focks from place to place unless
dogs were employed, and there are no
sheep dogs in eastern countries.
Hence the shepherd goes on in front,
the sheep following behind, a shep-
herd boy as a rule bringing up the
rear. This Is the shepherds principal
duty to guide his sheep and find pas
ture for them.

MisanpIied TO Cincinnati Firm,


Cincinnati-Harry Busch, a stock
holder in the Cincinnati Trust
company of which George B. Cox
was president before it was absorbed
by the Provident Savings bank and
Trust company, has filed suit asking

the Cincinnati institution. The suit
was directed not only at the Cincin-

president; Nat S. Keith as secretary;
F. R. Williams as treasurer. and at
several directors.
Busch also asked that the liquidat-
ing trustees of the Cincinnati Trust
company be compelled to pay $1,000
600 for division among the stockhold-
ers of the bank.

derwrote and subscribed an amount

STRONG MEN OF THE PAST
Present Day Athletes Certainly Have
No Superiority Over Their
Predecessors.

1t would seem that the Romans,
who conquered Sc nations, recognized
the secret of success in things mill
tary when they called their armies
exercitus. bodies of drilled or exer-
cised men.
During the middle ages it was the
custom of princes, and even OF
wealthy burghers, to keep runners
who followed their carriages afoot
while the horses were going at full
gallop. Fast runners were In great
demand. and if parents wanted to
qualify their children for a position
of that sort they began to train them
from the earliest childhood, making
them undergo a singular operation.
namely, the removal of the spleen,
which was supposed to have an inf1u-
ence upon the Vigor Of the lungs.
From the town of Puebla, in Mexico,
a sandy road leads across the hills to
the Valley of Amozoc. Early in the
morning that road is crowded with
Indian peddlers and hucksters, who
carry heavy baskets on their backs.
They frequently come from a distance
of 10 or II miles, but make the whole
trip at a sharp trot and without a
single stop. Their children trot at
their sides, carrying small bundles or
bags. and thus learn their trade so
gradually that they hardly feel the
hardships of It,
1t seems curious that small, short
legged dog can as a general thing out
run the tallest man. This has not al
ways been the case. An ostrich proves
that two legs can go as fast as four.
Want Of exercise In man probably &C
counts for the whole difference.
Lifting weights has always been a
favorite exercise for the lungs There
is story of a Grecian Samson, the
athlete Milo of Crotona, who day after
day carried a calf around the arena
and gained in strength as the calf
gained in weight until finally he could
carry a steer. We may well doubt
whether the steer was quite full
grown. There is, however, a case Of
record, apparently well authenticated,
to the effect that one Winship of Bos-
ton practiced with dumb-bells and
bagfuls of pig iron until he was able
to lift Though only for moment) the
weight of the heaviest steer in Texas.
