The account OF the dismissal

tendent at the City Hospital, in
Tuesday nights edition, Is food
= for thought.
AS one somewhat familiar
with the former management of

ask the simple question-as on
whose authority Miss Blair was
empowered to make this dis
missal?
The bylaws of the Hospital
Association state, 1.-THE superin-
tendent and nurses shall be ap-

Is 1t not rather peculiar that
neither the president of the as

be aware OF the actions of the

LINK SOLAR VIEW
American Trust Methods Car
ried Into Heavens.
Chain of ObservatOrieS a Gre
alton for Astronomy.

Wellington, n. H., May 5.-The mis-
sion of linking together solar observa-
tions throughout the world, undertak-
en- by Miss Mary Proctor of New
York daughter of the great English
astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, has
been brought to a successful conclu-
sion after five years work. The es-
tablishment of a solar observatory in
New Zealand was assured today by the
donation of $4,000 by Thomas Caw-
thorn of Nelson, N. z.
Washington, May 5.-"Carrying g
American trust methods into the
heavens" was the definition a well
known writer on scientific subjects
gave today to universal solar observa-
ton. ''The method is in every way
admirable and desira ble,' he added,
las much duplication by observation
will thereby be avoided. There are
perhaps a dozen great solar obServa-
tories scattered over the world. Each
of these has been making indepen-
dent observations of every phase of
solar activity. Universal solar obser-
walton will restrict each observatory
to a specific phase of observation.
Thus, one observatory will be allotted
the work of observing phenomena at
tendant on sun spots, another will
study protuberances from the rim of
the sun, and so on. Each will adhere
exclusively to its own phase, and all
will work as separate departments of
d monopoly for sun observation"
The idea is about ten years old. and
was first credited to Professor Pick
ering of Harvard. Miss Proctor lives
in New York.

when is LOVE INSANE?
Surely Not. When a Man Is Only II
Years Old, Says Court.

Kansas City, May 5.-When a man
II years old writes love letters, the
fact does not constitute evidence of
mental incapacity.
Judge Ellison laid down that ruling
in a decision handed down in the Kan
sas City court of appeals today. The
case was one from Boone county in
which a son sought to break his faith
er's will. The love letters were intro
duced to show that the testator was
incapable of making will. In the
letter the writer said he was only 65
years old. Judge Ellison held this
misrepresentation had nothing to do
with the case; he was able to deceive,
the judge said, showed that he was in
possession of all his faculties.

which cost the lives of thousands of

city until the last drop of Montene-
grin blood had been spilled.
AS the European powers had de-
cided previously that Scutari was tn
form part of the future autonomous
state of Albania, a crisis was brought
about and the powers immediately
brought strong pressure to bear to
force him and his troops to evacu-
ate the place.
Meantime Austria took energetic
steps to enforce the powers decision
and concentrated large bodies of
troops in Bosnia, Herzegovina and

For So years Mr.. White had been a

he had been active in the political af-
fairs of the state and the Fifth dis

Der of the state legislature from his
district. Following his four years as
a member of the house, Mr.. White was
named as state grain inspector. Previ-
Gus to his election to the legislature,
he had served several years as state
livestock sanitary commissioner and
had several times been elected county
commissioner in Ottawa county. In
1910, Mr.. White was nominated in the
Republican primaries for the Office of
railroad commissioner and was elected
The 1911 legislature passed the utilities
commission law, but provided that the
three members of the railroad board
should serve their unexpired term. This
term expired last January and Mr..
White, as well as Frank Ryan and

the board, were succeeded by the DEM

Thirty Days i'm Jail for Samuel
GOmpers.
Heavy Fine for Morrison and
John Mitchell.
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
Federation Published a Name
in ''BOycOtt List.'
Attorneys May Appeal From
Today's Decision.

Washington, May 5.-The contempt
of court judgments against Samuel
Gompers, Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell officials of the American
Federation of Labor, were sustained to-
day by the court of appeals for the
District of Columbia, which, however,
revised the sentences to give Gompers
80 days Imprisonment and fine Mitchell
and Morrison $500 each with no jail
term.
The chief justice of the court dis
senting, held that the entire judgment
should be reversed. The lower court
had sentenced Gompers to one year i'm
prisonment, Mitchell nine months and
Morrison six months without option of
fine. All were convicted of violating
a court injunction in the noted Bucks
stove and range case.
An appeal from today's decision will
be taken to the supreme court of the
United States if attorneys for the la
Dor leaders can find grounds on which
to ask the highest court to review the
judgments. On a previous appeal to
the supreme court the judgment was
effectually dismissed and the contempt
proceedings were brought all over
again.
In the previous action the decision
of the court below, holding the men in
contempt, was unanimous. The dis
senting opinion of the chief justice to-
day will probably present one avenue
of further appeal.
The case has been a hard fought one,
and attracted wide attention. The
contempt was alleged to have been the
publication of the name of the Bucks
Stove and Range company in a social
ed boycott list in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor official magazine af-
ter the publication of the list had been
forbidden by the court.

Finance Committee Says Ques-
ton Has Been Settled.
BILL TO UPPER HOUSE JUNE |
Democrats Anticipate No De-
lay in Final Cleanup.
Wilson Does Not Look for
Many Amendments.

Washington, May 5.-No public
hearings on the tariff revision Dill are
to be held by the senate finance com
mittee, according to Senator Simmons
the chairman of the committee.
'"There will be no public hearings
he said today '"That question has
been settled. This determination is
expected to speed up consideration OF
a bill after the measure gets TO the
senate, probably Thursday"
Senator Simmons said that most
persons interested in the schedule
were content to file briefs setting forth
views and recOmme mendatlonS- II IS lhe
present intention of the finance COM
mittee chairman that the committee
will have the bill under consideration
about ten days or two weeks at most.
After that two weeks will be gwen
senators to prepare for debate on the
floor.
The bill it is expected will be re.
ported to the senate about June l at
the latest. Republican leaders IL Is
reported are planning to move, When
the bill comes from the house, to refer
the measure to the finance committee
with instructions for public hearings.
The end of the tariff debate was IN
sight today so far as the house was
concerned. With a few odds and ends
of the sundrieS schedule left over, the
house stood ready to dispose OF the
free list, the complex administrator
features and the income tax, all that
remained on the new tariff law.
''All the fights are about over now,
said Mr.. Underwood, the Democratic
leader, as he surveyed the situation.
The debate has been the most good
natured in the recollection of the
Democrat leaders. The Republicans
have avoided filibustering or demand
for record votes. The caucus rule OF
solid Democrat vote has been rigidly
carried out.
Only a few minor changes are now
to be expected and they will be to
clarity language. Democrat leaders
expected that today would clear the
path for consideration of the income
tax alone tomorrow to be followed by
the reading of the bill for the formal
passage of the whole measure, a for
mality counted upon to take less than
on hour.
President Wilson does not expect
the tariff bill to be materially amend
ed in the senate. He told callers he
did not credit the report that wool
would be taken from the free list.
Although he has heard views of many
who wish to have a duty retained on
wool, he sees no reason to change his
position. The argument for the re-
tention of duty on sugar has also
made no impression on him.
