EXPECTED TO-DAY
Commission Finding is
Prima Facie Evil
dence

Washington, Aug. 1.-The general ex'
pectation in the Senate is that the trade
commission bill will be passed this week
and that the Senate will then proceed
with the consideration of the other two
items on the antitrust programme. The
debate has hinged so far on the power
of the proposed commission to forbid
@unfair competition" The final form of
section five, relating to unfair compe-
tition, was discussed at a meeting of the
commerce committee at the
house of Chairman Newlands and modi-
iications were suggested to meet most
of the opposition that has developed
Mr.. Pomerene of Ohio and Mr.. Walsh Of
were designated to revise Mr..
substitute for section five,
so as to embody those objections. The
most important modification of Mr.. Pom
erene's first draft would make the find
ing of the commission prima facie evil
dence in court proceedings, instead of
leaving it subject to rebuttal, on a par
ty with new evidence.

The Mystery of a woman's Mind.

In the August American Magazine ap.
pears an article entitled Discoveries
and Experiences of Middle Age" writ
ten by husband who has had 25 years
experience in matrimony. On the sub
ject of belief in future life the writer
of the article relates the following ex-
perience he had with his wife.
with all my sins, my belief in a SUI
preme being and future life never had
faltered, and never had / lost the faith
that came to me as a child. ! told her
that / could not understand how wom-
an who had borne children, watched the
miracle of the development of their bod
les and souls and minds, could doubt
the existence Of some supreme power
that guided and directed her. She said
she had felt that; had felt as If some
force outside herself directed and guard
ed her, vet she could not believe, be-
cause she could not understand.
81 saw she was striving to bring the
subject around, away from the abstract,
and finally she told me what worried
her. She was afraid she might die, and
that would marry again. and that the
stepmother would not treat her children
we'll. She did not want to believe in
future life, because the torture of know
ing that her children were being neglect
ed by another woman would be greater
than she could endure. The mind of a
woman is strange; but the mind of
mother is beyond comprehension"

Members of the Senate OF both parties

Preparations are "Defen-

"Times"
FLEETS MOVE
A MYSTERY
Report That 1t May Have
Gone to the North
Sea

London, Aug. IA world war,
with the fighting between the conflicting
nations of Europe spreading over both
hemispheres, was the prediction here
yesterday if the present war storm
breaks.
England is making all preparations
to enter the conflict despite the fact
that she is playing the leading role in
the efforts to preserve peace. Her naval
forces in the East as well as those of
Germany are preparing for action. At
home extensive preparations are being
made.
Dover harbor was cleared yesterday
and cross-channel steamships must put
in at Folkestone The admiralty is
purchasing all coal available. Troops
from Shorncliffe have been sent to
Queensborough and other eastern ports.
A greatly increased force has been sta
toned at Woolwch arsenal. Eastern
and southern coast patrols have been
strengthened. Part of the troops in Ire
land have returned to Aldershot and the
Falmouth garrison has been increased.
The London Times yesterday declared
naval and military measures "of often
sive character are being carried out quiet
ly and calmly throughout the British
empire"
"The actual steps taken it would be
unpatriotic to mention" the Times said,
All English papers refrain from print
ing news of the activity in the ship
yards, disposition of ships and the
movements of coast guards.
The movement of the fleet after its
departure from Portland is still mys
terry. One report had it that the fleet
sailed to take up strategic position
to bottle up the North sea on receipts
of wireless instructions which will be
flashed directly to the German troops
across the French frontier.
England's first naval move would thus
prevent the German fleet from getting
the Baltic and at the same time starve |
Germany into amiability.

lowing Crushing.

caught between a car and pilot engine,

was caught between car and the en-
CINE. The responsibility of the error of
not closing the switch has not been
placed.

juries and suffered compound fracture
of the bones of his right leg. 1t was not
thought at first that he was seriously
injured and the railroad officials in Rut-
land received word that he had sustained
only a broken leg and that he wished
his wife to 60 Immediately to Troy, as
he wanted to sec her. Mrs. Lincoln went
that evening and was with him at the
time of his death.

at Westfield, Mass, he had re-
sided there all of his life, until he came
to Rutland to live last November. He
married Miss Annie R. Seymour of Man
chester three years ago. Besides his wife |
