REALLY NOT A GREAT STUNT
Indiana Small BOY Must Be Given
Credit for Decisive Victory Over
tho Village cutup.

There is a butcher in one Of the
small northern Indiana towns who
is a sort Of village cutup, whose
name is Witt. Witt delights to play
jokes on the lads that come to his
shop for their mothers at mealtime
and at odd times Of the hot summer
days, for the shop is always cool,
made so by the huge icebox in which
the meat is kept. But Witt was out
witted one day by sharp little
youngster who was generally in the
van when anything was to be "pulled
off" by the village boys.
Johnny and some of his boy COM

butcher shop, taking advantage Of

"Sure tingp' exclaimed the lad.

coin, SOS I'll know you'll come troo,
and give us the fy-catchin' stuff"
The butcher put the nickel on the
counter near the boy and then hand

the paper, turned it sticky side down
on the floor, stamped all over it till
it was glued down Highland then
grabbed the nickel and "beat it,

In illustration of the "dreary

this story of the late Mr.. J. L. Toole,
He was leaving his hotel in Glasgow
one fine Sunday morning, when the
sun was shining brightly. As he was
strolling along George Square a po-
liceman eyed him suspiciously, and
at last approached and said;

NEW CAPITAL FOR AUSTRALIA
Great City Is to Be Built in the vii
derness From Plans Drawn by
Chicago Man.

In picturesque mountain valley
1000 feet above sea level and now
practically a wilderness a new capt.
tai city for the Commonwealth OF
Australia is to be- created. AS the
result of a competition in which
more than hundred of the leading
architects and landscape gardeners
of the world competed, this city is
to be built in accordance with the
plans of an American architect,
Walter Burley Griffin Of Chicago,
who was awarded a prize of FL, ESQ,
equivalent to about $500. The
site of the new city is midway be-
tween Melbourne and Sidney and rs
miles from the seacoast, and work is
70 begin Immediately.
The plan, which is described in
Popular Mechanics magazine, en-
bodies the most advanced theories
in city planning. The different
functions of the city are grouped
at specific centers, each arranged
roughly in the form of an octagon,
with main avenues radiating in all
directions. Such theory has never
before been worked out in complete
form, although Haussmann applied
it in a limited way in the rebuilding
of Paris, and L1Enfant, in his plan
of Washington, provided diagonal
avenues intersecting a checkerboard
system of streets.

IN JUSTICE TO PLATE.

fePilate was a more honest and just
man than many men today. l could
name many who are in no degree
comparable with Plate; for he kept
strictly to the Roman laws. He
would not that the innocent should
be executed and slain without hear
ing, and he availed himself of all
just means whereby to release
Christ; but when they threatened
him with the emperors disfavor, he
was dazzled and forsook the imperial
laws, thinking it is but the loss of
one man, who is both poor and con-
temned; no man takes his part /;
what hurt can / receive by his
death5 Better it is that one man
die than that the whole nation be
against me.-Martin Luther.

AS HIS MOTHER SEES HIM
Fond Parent Regards With Peculiar
Affection Sandy McTish, Too
Tough to Die.

For seeing things from their own
point of view and seeing things en-
tirely different from the way others
see them, l recommend you to moth
ers, says a writer in Puck.
To a mother her children never
grow up. She goes right along talk
ing about them as if they were still
infants.
For instance, there is Sandy Nc
fish. He has hands like pile driv-
ers and his feet look like Ionic ma
sonry. He has red tristles all over
his face, and has been known to
lick seven or eight men at once. If
a buzz-saw came in contact with
Sandy, he'd nick the buzz-saw.
Buckshot wouldn't even tickle him,
He has committed aggravated forms
of every crime. He doesn't mind
dynamite at all, and often eats nit
roglycerin on his batter cakes.
But hear his mother talk about
him. She tells anecdotes about him,
saying "Me teepy." She sees moth
ing ridiculous about abiding to this
creature with paint brush beard
and crabapple knuckles as delicate
cherub with toes like beautiful pink
rose petals, happy in his bath, and
possessed of an appetite for the
washrag, a yearning for the stove
poker and passion for the coal
bucket.

GROWTH OF THE CORPORATION
Enormous Amount Of Capital involved
10 Something That Seems Hardly
Credible.

AT the beginning Of the nine
teenth Gentry there we're in America
probably not more than 100 corpora
tons, Of which at least one-half were
in Massachusetts,. BY the year 1910
Chancellor Kent observed that cor
porations had multiplied with a fex-
ibility and variety unknown to the
common law. He says "The in
crease of corporations in number,
and of private industry and enter
prise, has kept pace in every part Of
our country with the increase Of
wealth and improvement. The Mas
sachusetts legislature, for instance,
in the session Of 1887, Incorporated
upwards of 20 manufacturing cor
porations." In 1857 Judge Dillon
remarked that, at is probably true
that more corporations were created
by the legislature of Illinois at its
ldSl StSSlOH lHdu cAlSlcu III thV
whole civilized world at the COM
mencement of the present century"
In the fiscal year 1909, according to
the report of the commissioner of
internal revenue, there we're in the
United States 1924 corporations
of all kinds, with more than 1884,
000,000,000 of stock and bonds and
S3,125,00O,000 of income, paying a
Federal tax of about $4,000, 900.
For the fiscal year 1910-11 the fig
ures had risen to 100000 corpora
tons with more than SS,O00,0O0,-
600 of stock and bonds and $780,
100000 of income, paying Federal
tax of S29,432, 900. AS the total
wealth of the United States has
been estimated at S125,O00, 100000
it would appear that nearly two
thirds of it is held by corporations
More than one-ffth of the tax pay
ments were made by 39,925 corpora.

new MOTOR BOAT
RULES ARE ISSUED
Regulations to Make Aquatic Sports
More Safe Are the Leading
Features of New Code.

The motor boat regulations for the
coming season were issued yesterday By
Acting Secretary Benjamin S. Cable, Of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor.
through Commissioner Chamberlain. Of
the Bureau Of Navigation. They will Be
sent to collectors OF customs and steam
boat inspectors for the use Of motor
boat men.
The, new regulations make no changes
In the rules for lights, whistles, bells
and sound signals which were enacted by
Congress In 1910 to supersede the impossi-
bic requirements OF the laws OF 1895 and
1877. enacted before motor boats came
into general use.
The rules for life preservers are slight
ly changed. Where passengers are taken
for hire life preservers stamped by the
steamboat inspectors must be carried
The department recommends their use in
other cases, though IL Is not obligatory
In other cases life preservers or buoyant
cushions capable OF sustaining afioat for
twenty-four hours a downward pull OF
twenty pounds will be accepted. No life
preservers or cushions filled with granu-
lated cork or other loose granulated
material. and no pneumatic life pre-
servers or cushions will be approved.
The regulations for the extinguishing
of burning gasoline remain substantially
unchanged, but a number Of tested ap-
pliances are specified. Besides these ex-
tinEuishers and suitable chemicals, salt
or sand in sufficient quantities, or pre-
fsrably the-two mixed, kept in available
pals or boxes will serve the purpose.
Since the law of 1910 was passed the
loss of life from fires or explosions on
motor boats has almost ceased. and the
number OF drownings which could be
prevented by life preseryers has dimin-
ished. fatalities now resulting usually

HOUSE COMMITTEE
GETS RAY LETTERS
Probers Receive Correspondence
Indicating that Paymaster Has
Faced Varied Charges.

The much-talked OF missing letters
in the case OF Maj. Beecher B. Ray, of
the United States army. were delivered
TO the Helm committee OF the House
yesterday by the Secretary OF War.
They throw some light on details of
the Ray scandal and the charges that
Ray was shielded from court-martial
because OF his political influence with
President Taft. In the missing letters
there is one letter written by Mai. Ray
IN January, 1909, in Manila, and relat-
ing to the charge that he signed a
cured half-fare rates from Manila 10
Aparri and return. This letter says in
part:
Il have tried to go along here in a
diRnified way. / know that ! am hon
ored and respected by the public men OF
the country, and ] have a letter now in
my possession from the next President
OF the United States. in which he says:
The highest compliment that 1 can
pay you is for your eficieRcy and hon
esty.' -
Wants square Deal.
Il am not saying anything to you that
would bring any discredit to any one else
and am asking for no recourse, except
a fair and square deal and the measure
ment Of men. II they think have vio-
lated any part of the regulations. 1 am
here to. take my censure for tt
Il came back here when l was urged to
stay in the States to meet in a straight
forward manner what has been said
against me while my hack was turned
! simply want u stand on my record and
be measured like a man."
Other irregularities are made public in
messages which passed between Mai
Gen Franklin ]. Bell. Chief of STAN, in
1905, and Maj. Gen. Bliss, at Manila.
The fact that Gen. Bliss had copies of
his correspondence in his possession and
that the committee was aware Of the
fact explains the apparent indifference
of Chairman Helm and his colleagues as
10 whether or not the War Department
produces the papers.
