Attorney General; Probe Started

a representative of the department
Of justice is now in Atlanta making an
investigation of the charges against
officials of the federal penitentiary
contained in data received at the de-
paI tment from Congressman Howard
Of Georgia.
Attorney General McReynolds gave
out this information, intimating that
a searching inquiry would be made.
The charges that Congressman Howard
alleges are not considered as of great
Importance by Mr.. McReynolds, but It
was felt by the depaNment that there
should be a thorough probe.
"The evidence | presented to Mr..
McReynolds was of so serious nature
that a rigid investigation must re-
suit" said Mr. Howard. 81 shall see
that the affair is not 'whitewashed.'
Among accusations made by persons
said to be familiar with prison condi-
tions is the statement that Deputy
Warden w. c. Hawk has a model
poultry farm from which he supplies
Atlanta people with eggs and chick
ems"

Little Change to Business-SteeI Out.

Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"There is little tangible evidence as
yet that the turning point in business
has been reached, but sentiment is
more hopeful Wholesale trade Is
rather more active, while retail de-
mands have broadened under the
stimulus of the usual clearance sales
and more seasonable weather in some
sections.
MANY buyers are beginning to ap-
pear in the dry goods market, and al
though conservatism is the rule in the
matter of future purchases, stocks are
low and requirements large. Woolen
and worsted mills are fairly we'll en-
gagged on old orders and wool is
moving steadily.
while the demand for iron and
steel is still confined mainly to actual
needs, some increase in business is
apparent and the situation is more
encouraging"

Now that General Villa is in posses

paign against Mexico City at once.
Northern Mexico is in the hands Of

Today saw thousands of Villas loyal
Jrmy take trains southwark for Tor
reon, with a view toward bringing
that stronghold into subsection at the
earliest possible moment, all the fed
erals in Chihuahua state having now
been disposed of.
AS Villa did at Juarez, after the
battle near there, he refused to per-
NIT foreigners to enter Ojinaga, so it
is not positively known how many
federal prisoners have been executed.
Twenty-eight hundred federal sol
diers, six Mexican generals, 100000
rounds of ammunition, two cannon,
four large fieldpieces and $4,000
civilian refugees are in the custody
of the United States army border
patrol.
1t is now generally agreed that Cen
erals Pascual Orozco, Jose Salazar and
Antonio Rojas, the federal volunteer
generals most wanted by Villa have
with 300 or 400 loyal followers made
their escape. 1t is also said that they
were joined by General Marvelo Cara
veo, another volunteer general.
The rebels captured between 300
and 400 prisoners, the most of them
volunteers and all of these have been
executed.
The total rebel loss in killed is said
to have been fewer than fifty. The
federal loss on the battlefield will be
over 100, not counting executions. The
list of wounded on both sides will be
heavy. There are more than 300
rebel and federal wounded now being
cared for by the Red Cross in Presidlo
and of these the great majority are
federals.
The distress of the refugees is in
tense. They have scant food and no
shelter, Men, women, children, dogs,
chickens and cattle are packed to-
gether in space covering several
acres. About them are scattered all
the goods and baggage which they

MANIA TO KILL PRESIDENT
Young Philadelphia Man Goes to the
HOSPITAL.

Joseph German, the twenty-four-
year-old Philadelphia street car con-
ductor, who wants to kill President
Wilson, was sent to the Philadel-
phia hospital after he was declared
too dangerous man to be at liberty.
German walked into the office of
Chief Postal Inspector Cortelyou and
calmly announced that he had an uu-
controllable desire to kill the presi-
dent of the United States. He said
medicine which affected his mind had
been given him and created in him
l mania to slay the president.
The doctor who gave him the medi.
cine was summoned. He said that
the man was suffering from alcoholic
dementia with homicidal mania and
should be locked up.

Urgent requests for the immediate

to some other place were sent by

General Francisco Castro, one of the
federal generals. declared that men
deserted when the rebels began
charging and that it was impossible
to hold them, but the men insist that
they ran out of ammunition and were
told by their officers that they might
make their way to the United States
as rapidly as possible. The soldiers
themselves appear perfectly happy

Commissioners Make Report on
HaTry'S Condition
DECLARE HE'S NOW ALL RIGHT
Federal Judge AIdrich Is Told That
Man Who Killed Stanford White Is
Better and Would Not Be Menace.

Harry X. Thaw would not be pub
lie menace if he were released on bail,
according to the report Of the com
mission appointed by Federal Judge
Aldrich at Concord, N. H., to inquire
into the state of Thaw's mentality.
The report says the commission
finds Thaw is not now afflicted with
any of the mental disease from which
he was suffering when he slew Stan
ford White.
The commission further states by
its written report that its members
have formed a unanimous and posi-
tive opinion as to the state of Thaws
mind at the time of the homicide, but
refrain from expressing that opinion
because the scope of its inquiry does
not permit of an opinion on this point.
The report is signed by all members
of the commission. In its opening page
of the somewhat exhaustive report
the commissioners say that they went
carefully over the case book of the
Matteawan hospital covering the
period from Feb. 1, 1908, to Aug Il,
1913, when Thaw escaped.
1t also examined transcripts OF all
other legal proceedings, including
various direct and cross examinations
of Thaw for homicide. The commits
sion refers to the public hearing which
it gave on Jan. at which only wit
nesses in favor of Thaw appeared and
then concluded its report as follows:
"To determine the immediate ques.
tion before us our inquisition was
necessarily directed to these points:
First, careful physical examination
to determine the presence or absence
of structural of functional disturb
ance of the nervous system.
Second the conduct of Harry K.

teawan state hospital on February,
1908, to the present time.

ANIMAL SPIRITS.
Our Vital Functions AZ They Were

Our Vital Functions AZ They Wsrs
Known In Galen's Time.
Few persons even stop to consider
when they speak Of "a man Of spirit
that they are unwittingly employing
the language of the days Of Galen,
says the Journal of the American Med
ical Association. "Yet this is evident
ly the survival of the old doctrine of
spirits. We may believe that Galen
had a conception Of the nerve trunks
as conductors of something-he called
IT spirits-tO and from the brain and
spinal cord.
''The natural spirits were that unde-
fined property which gave to blood the
capacity Of nourishing the tissues OF
the body. The vital spirits were ac-
quired in the heart, and when at last
the blood with its vital spirits went to
the brain and experienced sort of re-
finement for the last time the animal
spirits were separated from it and car
ried to the body by the nerve trunks"
Such was the idea of the vital func-
tions in the second century. Today.
after 1900 years. we know that there
are no spirits in our blood or nerves.
but we still speak of being in high
spirits or low spirits" of being full
of animal spirits" Of a spirited an
swer" or Spirited horse"

SENSES OF PLANTS.
A Theory That Flowers Sec and Hea,
and Nav Even Talk.

A Theory That Flowers Sec and Hear
and May Even Talk.
Jean Viaud-Bruant, who is one of the
most famous French horticulturists,
has just published little book on
flowers, in which he advances the the
ory u believe it is not entirely novel;
that flowers both see and hear AS a
young man, he says, he began to study
flowers, for which he has always had
passion, and he sought to understand
the habits Of the blooms which he cul-
tivated. When he saw the growing
plant reach out toward the necessary
support he asked himself whether the
action was the result of volition and
whether the plant had eyes.
M. Viaud- -Bruant is now apparently
convinced that flowers both hear and
see. There are some that are sensitive
to anaesthetic substances, ether in par
ticular, which suggests the existence
Of nervous system, like that of q
nervous woman. And he would even
credit them with something analogous
to the power Of speech.
Zone knows" he writes. that the
perfume of flowers is manifestation
of vegetable life. living radiation.
Perfume is as much a vibration as an
olfactory sensation. The perfume is
the voice of the flower. A bouquet is
a wordless romance. Each perfume or.
rather, each odorous sensation CORE
spends with certain rate of vibration.
There is an analogy between the per-
ceptions of sound, light and scent. The
strong scent corresponds with the deep
notes, while the delicate odors CORE
spond with the shrill notes."-Paris

not among thieves, but liars. He lis
tened to the tales Of those who hailed
him about the city. and they came at
last to Spuyten Duyvil. The Palisades
were pointed out to him, and he heard
that the Hudson river scenery was the
most beautiful in the world. He turn
ed away and was not impressed.
"But," they demonstrated, those
bluffs of the Palisades are 800 feet
high!"
"Well,'' he returned sadly, "Ive
learned to know that that isn't a very
