The school as civic center having
become overcrowded. it occurred to
some bright mind to advocate the use
OF the home as civic center.
The home is vacant so large a part
of the day that II would seem that the
highest efficiency would put it to some
use other than as a possible place to
sleep in after midnight"
This was Immediately done, and the
home began to come back. Thereupon
the leading sociological writer wrote
an article in which he proved again
to the satisfaction of all that every

1t is hoped that the young man under
arrest in st. Adams for firing a bullet
into car on Central Vermont pas
senger train, if he is guilty of offense,
will be put where he cannot repeat the
proceeding. The young man in this
particular case, it is thought, is mental
ly unbalanced. If so, the asylum is the
place for him. Anyone doing such a
despicably dangerous thing as firing a
gun at a passing passenger train must
be degenerate, it would seem.

RAIL TAP LINES
PART OF TRUNKS
Important Ruling by Supreme
Court Upsets Holding of the
Commerce Commission

Washington, May 25.-Another at
tempt of the government to separate
the ownership of railroad from indus
trial concerns met with failure today
when the supreme court held that "tap
line" railways, serving lumber camps
in the southwest owned by the same
interests, were entitled to share with
the trunk lines in through rates. The
interstate commerce commission had
held this division of the rates was In
effect a rebate and ordered it discon-
tinued.
Justice Day, delivering the opinion
for the entire court said.
Congress has made it illegal for
roads thus owned (owned by the per-
sons who also own the timber and
mills which they principally serve) tc
operate in interstate commerce" -
He added that even the commodities
clause under which an unsuccessful
attempt was made several years age
to divorce eastern railroads from the
coal busines, expressly expected from
it's operations the timber industry.
II was further pointed out that the
common ownership was shown to be
inconsistent with the laws Of the
states in which the tap lines operate
and justice Harlan said I'VE think the
commission exceeded it's authority
when it condemned these roads as a
mere attempt to evade the law and to
secure rebates and preferences for
themselves"

MEXICO PEACE

MEDIATORS WORKING AWAY
WITH NO HITCH YET
IN SIGHT
u. S. NAMES RULER
That Right Seems to Be Conceded
To This Country and the En-
voys Are Hopeful

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 20
Smooth progress toward an agreement
on all phases of the Mexican problem
is being made by the mediators and
by the mediators and American and
Mexican delegates.
The three South American diplomats
made it plain that, while every aspect
of the Mexican situation, both inter-
nal and international, had been laid
before the delegates, no formal basis
had been reached for the treatment
in any specified order of the issues
investigated, nor has the relative ap-
pearance of the main issue been de-
fined.
From the Mexican delegates them
selves must originate proposals con-
cerning the internal affairs OF their
country and these suggestions will be
transmitted by the mediators to the
American delegates.
The theory under which the internal
questions are being brought into the
discussion is that the United States
has a right to say whom it will recog-
nize as provisional president of Mexi-
co, and, therefore, can indicate in ad-
vance who will be acceptable.
On the agrarian problem, TOO, sug-
gestions must originate from the Mex
lean delegates. Thus far the question
was whether Mexicos land problem
could properly be discussed in an in
ternal tribunal The Mexican dele
gates regard it as purely internal
question. ..,

the punishment of murderers by death,
bu several ministers during discussion

themselves as being in favor of capital
punishment.
Rev. c.. G. Sterling, of Eureka, Ills,
said that he understood the bible to

Chairman Irwin replied that his per-
sonal opinion was that no government
or man has the right to take human
life.
The committee recommended:
That courts instead of prisons be
made instruments for the reformation
of criminals. ...
That incorrigibles befl sent to prison
for life.
Final action on the report was de-
ferred.
President Wilson's name was cheered

Trip to the Jungles
TO MAKE A SPEECH

Washington, May Is. - Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt will return to
Washington tomorrow on one Of the
few visits that he has made since he
left the White House, He will spend
nine hours in the capital, and the

he will put in full days work be-
fore he, leaves at midnight for Oys-
ter Bay.
The primary object of the Colonels
trip is to deliver lecture before the
National Geographical association on
the South American explorations, but
politicians are more interested in the
conference he will hold just before
he leaves with the progressive leaders
in congress.
This conference may develop a plan
Of action by the progressive party in
the coming congressional campaign.
If it results in nothing more, the par
ty leaders expect Colonel Roosevelt to
show the way in which the Wilson adj
ministration can be more advanta-
geously attacked by campaign orators
and in the PREDICTION literature. 4
Colonel Roosevelt is due in Wash
ington from Philadelphia at 1920 p.
M, and expects TO go directly to the
National Museum to look over the
specimens he procured for that in
stitution several years ago. Many
Of these specimens have been mounted
since his last visit to Washington.
From the Museum the Colonel prob
ably will go to the White House to
pay his respects to President Wilson. ;,
He was invited to luncheon there, but
was unable to leave, Oyster Bay in
time to keep a luncheon engagement.
The Colonel will take dinner at a
downtown hotel with officials Of the
geographic society. He has no en-
gagements until his lecture which
will begin at o'clock. The lecture
probably will last two hours and i'm
mediately on its conclusion, Colonel
Roosevelt will be. driven to the pro-
gressive headquarters where con-
ference with progressive leaders in
congress will be held. ~
+. That Washington, outside of polit-
,ical leaders in greatly Interested in
the Colonel's visit became apparent
today when the general public had its
opportunity to obtain seats for the
lecture. There was a line two blocks
long leading up to the home Of the
geographic society. The demand in
official circles for seats has been very
brisk.
