Kerosene Poured on Hair

'We entered the prison on Monday night before election" said Miss Doty. "I was immediately conducted to a bathroom and was obliged to strip everything, even to my hairpins being taken from me. Then I was told to get into a tub of water. I made an at. tempt to wash myself but was told to keep my hands off A colcred inmate then scrubbed me, my head as well as my body, all in the same tub. The wash cloth was piece of an old shirt, the soap was kitchen soap.
 "Then a bottle of kerosene was pro- duced and poured upon my hair and rubbed in. A prison nightgown was provided and 1 was conducted to a cell, barefooted, and locked in.
 "The food was ruined in the cook ing. I do not think the material was necessarily bad, but the cooking spoiled it."

Capital Stock Limitation.

The limitation of the capital stock of corporations engaged in interstate commerce is one of the questions which is considered to be of first i'm portance by judiciary committee mem bers. Several bills embracing this feature of trust regulation are before the committee. There has been much discussion as to the amount of capital which should be permitted in the for nation of such corporations. A limit placed upon such amount, it is be lieved by some of the members of the committee, would go long way in the direction of preventing the enor- nous amount of capital controlled by the steel trust, the beef trust and the harvester trust.

President Outlines His Idea.

Already President Wilson has held several conferences with the chair. man of the house judiciary commit tee, and has given him a tentative out line of the trust legislation which he desires should be enacted into law. The president is not in any way en- deavoring to dictate to members of this committee what they should do, but he is cooperating with them in order that the pledges made in the Baltimore platform regarding the reg ulation of trusts and monOpolies may be fulfilled There will be numerous conferences between the executive and legislative branches of the gov ernment on the trust proposition, however, before the administration measures are ready to be presented to congress and given consideration by the two houses.

"EARTHQUAKE" IN THE AIR

The suggestion that there are air
quakes, due to explosions OF meteor
ties, and quite independent of earth
quakes and volcanoes. comes from
no less an authority than Mr. w. F..
Denning. the astronomer That such
explosions are sometimes audible is
well known. Prof. w. M. Foote has
recorded that large meteorite falling
near Holbrook, Ariz.. at $50 p m.
on July l9, 1912. broke up with loud
noise that lasted half a minute or
more and scattered over a stretch of
three miles of sandy Desert, more than
$4,000 or the fragments-of total
weight of nealy 500 pounds--having
been picked up and preserved. The
exploding bodies, of course, are not al
ways seen. A violent air shock on the
morning of November 10 caused the
shaking of windows and other effects
in the vicinity of Sunninghill, but
could not be connected with any earth
quake, and this has led to the conclu-
sion that it was due 70 the explosion
Of freball high in the air. The
view is confirmed by the fact that as
tronomers recognize a few days near
the middle of November as period of
decorating fireballs. Other similar in
stances have been recorded, and two
.meteorite explosions noted in 1877
on November 20 and 23-were esti-
mated to have created air disturbances
more than hundred times as violent
as loud peal of thunder

"HUNDRED CURSE" ON A CLUB

One would hardly think that an up
to-date institution like a club would
be haunted, yet the members OF the
Franklin Inn club, which is composed
of the literary men of Philadelphia
have been rendered very uneasy by
series Of peculiar condolences.
The club appears to be pursued by
what one might call zone hundred
curse.
Every time since it's organization
that the club has elected a one hum
dredth member another member has
died. The last victim of this coinci-
dence was a lawyer, who died sudden
ly after attending dinner at the club
at which the one hundredth member
was elected. Many members profess
to scoff at these deaths; but there is
rumor that an unwritten bylaw will
be made, holding the club to mem
bership of 80. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell

Mrs. Stevenson also complained that
her husband denied her the compan-

me out anywhere, as man should,
think, when couple is first married"

The young wife also testified that

tell his father from any other man,

Stevenson had been Indifferent to his

She also related that she had met
