CLAIMS BIG MEDICAL ASSN IS A
TRUST-SUES

A 100000 suit against the Amer
lean Medical assn, charging it with
being a trustfi was filed by DR.. Sam
uel Summers of Washington, Pa, in
the federal court yesterday. Sum-
mers says the association is unfair
and has blacklisted medicines which
he patented years ago.
The association is called a trust"
by Summers, who says that it is the
most powerful factor in the medical
world. A story in the journal of the
association in 1903 killed all chances
of success for his medicine, although,
he claims, Dr. Simmons, the man
ager, later admitted that the article
was unfair.

JUDGES RULING BRINGS
IN LABOR STORM

Arbitration of the troubles of the
plasterers by Judges Gemmill, New
conner and Sullivan brought a tenn
porary lull in the labor storm today.
The judges decided that the agree
ment signed Feb. II should have kept
the men on their jobs until their diff
culties could have been settled.
The claim of the labor men was
that when the fathers were locked
out the plasterers could not work
with nonunion men, The judges de-
cided that the plasterers should have
been notified when their fellow work
men were shut out and that they
could not have worked under condi-
tons as they were.
The success of the arbitration has
caused the hope that the other nu-
merous labor troubles may be arbi-:

trated as well. Another meeting will
be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
That a general misunderstanding
of the difference between the labor
men and their employers is the cause
of most of the trouble was the opin-
ion. of the judges. They advocated
publishing the claims of each party
so that the arguments could be
quietly reviewed and hasty action
prevented.
THE board learns from the evil
dence of all parties that the contract
controversy has not been generally
published, and we are unanimously of
the opinion that that may have con-
tributed at least to some extent to the
differences now existing, and we
would recommend that hereafter any
contract entered into between par
ties be generally published, so that :
each member of the respective par
ties may have copy thereof, that
there may be no misunderstanding"

Pay Church Dues With Eggs

GEORGETOWN, DEL, April 26. Mem
bers of Sand Hill and St. Johns
churches, on the Georgetown M. E.
Circuit, have struck upon a novel
scheme for raising funds for the per
capita tax which has to be raised each
year. In order to avoid taking a col
lection in the churches, the members
have obligated to donate the value of
all eggs laid on the first Sunday in May
to the Sunday school fund which is de-
posted in the treasury. Rev. W. P.
Taylor, pastor of the circuit churches is
gratified at the effort that is being
made, and a goodly sum is expected to
be realized from the sale of the eggs
gathered by the membership of the
churches on that particular Sunday,
Some of the other rural churches in
this section are contemplating the adop-
tion of the same method of raising
funds.

BARNES BOOMERANG

Great Heaven! Does that fat fool
of Barnes think he can bring down
the redoubtable Teddy, who after
cleaning up old Boss Platt, Penrose, AL
rich, Odell and lot more bosses, big
and little, goes over to Africa, and just
to keep his hand in, defies the raging
king of beasts" the spring of the

mer
Poor Barnes, he didn't ''know it was
loaded" AS it was with that imperial
boss Kaiser BILLY" across the sea,
Barnes big headed impudence is also
proving his undoing. In a moment of
madness, he threw down the gauntlet
to Theodore Roosevelt (of all men under
the sun the most dangerously in a de-
mand of $50, 900 for the defamation of
his stainless character as political boss!
How spotless that character is one
can imagine when recalling that the
Bayne Senate Investigating Committee
which grilled Barnes in 1911, among
other things, reported that this spotless
Boss, Gas the head of the printing ring
formed for the purpose of robbing the
city treasury of Albany, was the most
conspicuous beneficiary of graft!
Finally, for refusing to answer four
searching questions which would have
shown his rascalities, he was sent to
Jail for contempt by Justice Kellogg,
but the upper court as usual thot it un-
kind to harass a CRATER in this cruel
fashion, and so vacated the order!
This Barnes attack on Roosevelt is
proving so disastrous boomerang, that
if the standpatters who are atetting it
do not have a care, the enmity of
Barnes will succeed in making Teddy
president third time, just as that of
old Platt made him president the first
time.
The deeper Barnes and his lawyers go
into the voluminous correspondence of
Roosevelt, the blacker grow the tints on
the character of his accuser, and the
more clearly show the whiteness of his
own. No defence of Mr.. Roosevelt that
his most ardent admirers might make

FLOATING ISLANDS.
Japan Has Lake Of Them, and They
,f Sometimes Capsixe.

baPdH fIds LdNe OF bHetT1y dnu tUoy
Sometimes capsize.
In Yamagata, Japan, is small lake
called the Lake Of the Floating Is
lands, discovered about the year 1340,
which has from that time attracted
the attention Of many poets and liter
ary men. A report on the mysterious
movements of these islands, drawn up
by party under Professor s. Kusa.
kabe, is published In the science re-
ports of the Tohoku Imperial univer-
sity.
The floating islands, which at times
number no fewer than sixty, are found
to be continually changing their posi-
tions, moving first one way and then
the other. In the first series of obser.
vations wooden floats were placed In
the lake, showing the distribution of
the various currents. Subsequently q
model of the lake was constructed, and
It was found possible closely to repro
duce the various movements of the
surface. When both water and wind
currents were taken into account the
actual behavior of the Islands was
found to be quite in accordance with
theory and experiment.
The islands originate from masses Of
vegetable debris, which are first car
ried to the surface by bubbles of gas;
then reeds commence to grow from
seed on them. Sometimes the mass
becomes topheavy and overturns, and
reeds grow on the other side, until the
island has grown sufficiently large in
extent to secure stability.

length imposes unfair competition upon

the toastmaster is a poor speaker he

master is robbery of the time of the

A Risky lump.

John Henderson. one Of the crew
working on the rock crusher near
Adams, did stunt tie other day
which be is not likely to repeat.
Walking along the road toward Ad-
AIMS, he was offered ride in an auto
motile driven by W. J. Burns Of PEN
dleton. He stood on tbe running
board, and on nearing his destination,
instead of waiting for the driver to
slow down he stepped from the swiftly
moving car. He turned over several
times and when picked up was uncon-
scioua. Though severely hurt about
the face, bis injuries were not dan
gerous.
