ONCE INSANE; NOW
INSANITY EXPERT
Unique Case Of Clifford w. Beers,
Who Will Address Recreation
Congress Wednesday.
EFFECTED CURE HIMSELF
Is Devoting Life to Prevention OF
Lunacy, and VIII Have In
tcrcsting Message.

Something uncanny attaches to tho
personality Of Clifford W. Beers. Of
New York. secretary of the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene, who
viii address the Recreation Congress
Mt the auditorium meeting next Wed
nesday evening on the subject. The
Need and Value of Play. Recreation and
Diversional Occupation Among the
Insane"
For two years Mr. Beers was con-
fined in an insane asylum as an ire
sponsible lunatic. He was bounded by
delusions that enemies were pursuing
him and threatening his life. Experts
examined him and pronounced him in
sane. Just when his case seemed
darkest there appeared change. and
the invalid began n systematic fight
for the recovery OF his sanity by per-
s!stent effort TO rid himself of his de-
lus.ons. After "a two-year struggle
carried on almost wholly by himself
he was pronounced sane. He has de-
scribed his desperate fight for sanity
in book entitled "a Mind That Found
Itself
Expert insanity.
While the cure of mind diseases is
comparatively common, the case OF Mr.
Beers Is unique In the fact that he
practically brought himself out of in
sanity. AS public speaker he has
everywhere attracted large crowds To
those who know his history there is
ABOUT him the air OF one who has been
returned from the dead. He is de-
voting his life TO the prevention OF
insanity, and il enlisting in this work
the curative agency of wcll-directed
recreation in the asylums. His address
on this little-known subject will prove
of more than usual interest
With the catholicism OF a real con-
gress. the Playground Convention will
leave no phase of the new play science
untouched. New. as sciences go, it has
lived long enough to embrace in it's
activities the interests of the home, the
school. the workshop and the street.
and in each Of these broad divisions
has created specialized interests by the
tens and scores. Thus. there VIII be
addresses on rural recreation as well
as on play in the cities. on play for
grown up men as well on play for
grown-up women; ana on recreation
for the insane and the blind as well
as diversion for the greater part of
humanity that goes through life un-
handicapped.
| Tho progress OF the recrea tion
| science has been so rapid that even
! those who have watched il in the daily
reports have failed to keep pace. The
! lay reader wonders what relation there
exists between recreation and such
| a subject as. for example "Socializing
the Classroom Furniture which will
be discussed by Lee +. Hammer. di-
! rector OF the department OF recreation
| OF the Russell Sage Foundation, New
York. That there is relation is evil
dent from the fact that X is listed on
the official program

scene of the hold-up and the train was
able to proceed on its way.
The bandits, who held the train up
in n thick woods just south of lies, did
not attempt to modest the passengers in
the six cars Of the train. They turned
their guns upon the crew of the engine,

distance and rifled the national express
car of all the contents. 1t is reported

about $4,000
The robbers exploded four charges Of
dynamite in efforts to open the express

They left, carrying a few packages,

Freedmen, Of Indian-Negro Descent, Of

Supreme Court.

Washington.-The right Of 1000
Cherokee freedmen to participate in the
distribution of the lands and funds be.
longing to the Cherokee nation was sus-
tanned by Judge Anderson Of the Dis.
trict of Columbia supreme court. The
court sustained the governments de-
murrer to a suit of the Keetowah Society
to restrain the secretary of the interior
from permitting the freedmen part ripa-
ton in the property. The case wa dis
missed.
The freedmen claim that their ihares
in the property run anywhere from
$5,000,000 to $50, 200, 600. The keeto-
wah Society is composed Of full blood
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.
The freedmen are the descendants OF
slaves of the Cherokees and are of mixed
Indian and negro blood. The court, in
dismissing the suit, said the freedmen
were clearly entitled to equal rights with
the native Cherokees. The fredemer
have the right of appeal.

DEMANDS OF THE ALLIES
Turkish Delegates State They Cannot Ac-
cept Demands.

London,-After several days of prelim'
mary diminishing the Turkish delegates
faces the real attack of the allies in the
fifth meeting of the peace conference,
which has us an object the settling OF
the war between the Balkan allies and
Turkey.
The victorious allies laid their most
important cards on the table. These
were in the form of territorial conditions
which they have agreed to impose on the
Ottoman empire, The demands as set
forth were:
First, the cession by Turkey of all the
territory west of a line starting from a
point east of Rodesta, on the sea of
Marmora, to a point in the bay of Mala-
ira, on the Black Sea, and excluding the
Peninsula of Gallipoli, Albania's status
to be decided by the powers.
Second, the cession of Aegean Islands,
occupied by the Greek forces in the pres
emit war, and by the Italians in the re-
cent war.
Third, the cession to Greece of all
Turkish rights in the Island of Crete.
The allies did not reveal the inancW
proposals which they will make to Tur-
key, reserving them for a future meet
ing.

RAILROADS CONTROL
Steamship LINES
FIGURES IN CORPORATION COM
MISSIONER'S REPORT.
WATER LINES ARE FEEDERS
Report Urges That Jurisdiction of Com
merce Commission Over Joint Rail
and Water Traffic Be Extended.

Washington.-That all hope of com
petition between railroads and water
carriers has been Systematically stltled
by the railroad interests through the
purchase of steamship lines was shown
IN a report on Transportation by Water
in the United States Part A., which
was made public here tonight by Luther
Conant, Jr., commissioner of corpora
tions.
The report stated that 90 per cent
of the canal traffic Of the United States
was in the hands of the railroads; that
the Atlantic seaboard, gulf and Pacific
coast steamship companies were almost
entirely controlled by the land trans
portation companies, and that the
steamship trade on the Great Lakes
was controlled by these interests to a
marked degree. The objects of rail
road control over domestic water car
riers, says the report, are to eliminate
the competition of water carriers, TO
attain entrance into territory not open
to their rail lines and to secure valua-
BILE feeders, mainly local lines.
The report goes on to state that "the
conditions set forth cannot fail to com
man attention." and that if there is
to be any successful attempt to increase
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
jurisdiction over joint rail and water
traffic, particularly with regard to the
establishment of joint rates between
co-carriers, must be far more generally
established than at present.

WOULD KILL HIS FAMILY
Tacoma Man Could Not See Them in
Want on Eve of Christmas.

Tacoma, Wash.-Determined to kill
his wife and five children rather than
see them suffer for lack of food and
clothing, Ed Stoddard poisoned the last
food in the house and killed his f~avorite
child. The Stoddard family was very
poor. The children were almost naked.
Mrs. Stoddard boiled the last of the cof-
fee and made the last of the flour into
pancakes for breakfast. One of the lit
tie girls, unable to restrain her hunger,
rushed to the table ahead of the others.
She fell writing to the flour after
drinking part of a cup of soffee and soon
died.
Stoddard then seized the coffee pot
and the plate of pancakes and threw
them on the floor. The family dog,
which ate one of the cakes, died imme-
diately.
