The Supreme Court of the United

of 46 per cent of the entire stock of
the Southern Pacific. A condition has
arisen out. of a combine and resultant
disintegration of the former road,
which intended to correct legal
wrong, has worked hardship to the in

enormous task is to be performed in
seven weeks.
To be compelled to sell securities to
the value of $I26,ooo,ooo, when all
markets OF the world know that it must
be done within a specified time, is a
form of punishment unique in law and
in finance. The Union Pacific is forced
to sell, and suffers heavily, because of
the decline in the value of the securities
it is ordered to dispose of. This is
primarily the result of such forced
sale. The owners of the remaining 81
per cent of Southern Pacific shares

SCIENTISTS RIDICULED
At SECULAR lecture
W. A. DuPuy Says They Should Not
Be Taken Seriously BY
the Public.
ONE OF THE FOLLIES OF LIFE

THE Folly of Scientists was the SUBJ
William Atherton DuPuy. at meeting
of the Secular League, at Pythian Tenn
pie. That the progress of the world is
due entirely to scientists was ridicuIed
by Mr.. DuPuy.
He declared scientists were not to be
taken seriously, but were to be regarded
as one of the follies of life.
THE city of Washington said Mr..
DuPuy, "abounds in scientists to a de-
gree that, / feel quite sure. surpasses
any other city in America. Hardly a
week passes that an automobile does not
run one of them down as he ambles abb
sentmindedly across some one of our
broad thoroughfares. They are to be
recognized by the dandrufr on their coat
collars in almost any Washington audi

Recently, for instance. / attended a
theatrical performance entitled, fgura-
lively, Black Birds, a drama of GRIM

of me sat one of Uncle Sans scientists,
misled by the name of the show. He

something of the life and habits Of those

often been remarked by experts. The
facade, according to critics, is worthy
of that of the Louvre in Paris. AS to
height, the structure, including the
depth of its foundation, is exceeded
only by the Eifel Tower.
But, though stately and magnificent
in its effect and ensemble, this latest
