Blood of the Hapsburgs.

The house of Hapsburg and its va
nous connections so dominates the
history OF Europe that resume OF
its hereditary traits would be as diff
ficult as a brief account Of the en-
eyclopedia. Still the family is so rich
IN enrenic problems that it will sui
flee if we mrely sample It here ana
there.
The best known Of the family traits
j. the Hapsburg lip-a large, droop-
ing lower lip, common to all and not
erased by intermarriage with other
strains.
Such marriages, however, have been
relatively rare. For the most part
Hapsburgs marry relatives. Tins ac-
counts for the insanity and imbecihty
which characterizes this race no less
than the harmless underlip. Melan-
el,olia and religious mania, too, are
frequent components Of the Hapsburg
constellation.
Insanity appears to have been intro
sluced when Philip, the Handsome, mar
ried Johanna the Mad No princess
ever had more gifted parents, they
were none other than Ferdinand and
Isabella Of Spain. But genius and in
sanity are often bedfellows. Unfor-
unately the good and gifted couple
represented most uneugenic stock
ind could their marriage have been
prevented Europe might have been
saved from much misrule.
The families from which Ferdinand
and Isabella came were those of Cas-
tile ard Leon. both infested with thG
seeds of imbecility and insanity. lisa
bella's father was John the ImbecilC
and her mother Isabel also the Mad
It is serious enough when these
traits run in an ordinary family, but
III 4 house OF rulers the effects reach
far beyond the calculable. The steady
downfall Of Spain scarcely requires
mention.
To quote from "Hcredity and Roy
atty" by Frederick Adams Wood, "the
lines Of descent by which the insanity
ga. and weaknesses were passed
along by "A continuous chain of mar
rlaGes, may be traced from genera
ton to generation, and the line Of
greatest weakness corresponds to the
region Of closest intermarriage.

OF ANTE-WAR PLANS.

ADDRESS BEFORE SOUTHERN

When Peace Comes, Germany viii
Find Her Overseas Marks
Have Passed Away.
tBy Associated Press)

tBy Associated Press
New York, Oct. 20.-What a diff
ferent world of trade this will be
after the war was pictured to the
Southern Commercial Congress here
tonight by Secretary Redfield, in ar
address telling of the rutting of the
treads OF Geraanys foreign conf
merce by her own act and of the
awakening of America and her allies
to the danger of having their indus
tries dependent upon foreign, and pos
sihly unfriendly, sources Of supply.
when peace, shall come and her
merchants take 10 the task Of restor-
ing Germany's ruined commerce, they
will find that it is 4 strange world
which they seek to re-euter," said the
secretary. There will be Difficult
ties in the path of future peaceful
penetration Of which they seem not
to dream. Commercial frightfulness,
like its military namesake, will have
passed away.
1T will hardly be said again TO any
secretary Of commerce of the United
States that the German dyestuff YER
Elm will not permit the stablisf
rlent Of an American dyestuff indus
try. The monopolies on which Ger
man foreign commerce in large part
seemed to rest secure have passed
away Our friends beyond the sea and
we ourselves have learned the danger
OF having our industries wholly de-
pendent on foreign sources of supply
which may become unfriendly.
1T is pitiful to read extracts from
the German press which seem to show
that they expect to take up the task
Of rebuilding their commerce where
they laid it down.
Il need not tell you of the COM
mercial value of what we call good
will oro point the advantage of doing
business as going concern. The
great markets of the world have been
and are TO be found among the ma
lions which have parted company
with Germany in the p~cscrt Strug
gle. The peoples of these lands are
not likely by one common imruis" to
turn quickly to Germany for renew
al of commercial intercourse which
was broken by her act.
ut must be renewed under circum-
stances of peculiar hardship.
1T will be Il strange world upon
which the German merchant will look

Scales Of provincialism have fallen

the peaceful contests of commerce as

VILLA TO GET JUAREZ,
Expected That Town Across From
Ell Paso Will Fall in Week.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 13-"Pancho"
Villa will occupy Juarez within a
week
This was the prediction of one of
his trusted agents here and it is con-
sidered reliable by military authorities
in Ell Paso.
The occupation, most probably will
take place without a shot being fired
It generally is believed that if Jose
Murguia. if he still is commander, will
open the gates and surrender the CITY
without opposition. 1t is more prob
able, tho. that Francisco Gonzales will
be the commandant of Juarez at that
time, as a report to General Bell saws
that the deposed commandant is re-
turning to Juarez to resume his old
command. He has been in Chihuahua
City.
Friends of Gonzales and Villa in
Ell Paso declare that Gonzales has
been nursing a considerable rankle in
his breast since being deposed and if
he comes back to take charge of the
city across from Ell Paso he will turn
the town over to Villa Immediately as
a chance of getting even, in a slight
measure. with General Murguia, mill
tary governor of the state of Chihua-
hua, who deposed him and put his
own brother in his place.

member of the we'll known Atchison
firm of Bliss, Mize & Silliman.
The pulpit, which comes to Grace
cathedral thru the wish of Mrs. Bliss,
is of carved oak and is most beautiful
in design. The carving was done by
Alois Lang, formerly of Oberammer-
gau, and a nephew of Anton Lang, the
man who takes the part of The Christ
in the Passion play at the Bavarian
village.
Alois Lang comes of a race of wood
carvers of the village of Oberammer-
gau founded in 1882 by the Benedic-
tine fathers of the Monastery of Ettal.
From 1884 to 1890 Lang studied in
the School of Sculpture in his home
under the master carver Ludwig Lang
Alois Lang came to Manitowoc Wis.,
to develop the art of wood carving in
this country.
The pulpit of Grace cathedral will
contain ten figures carved by Lang
The figures will be The Christ, the
four evangelists and five angels. The
figures are fifteen inches in height and
most deftly and exquisitely carved.

mittees.
Light Committees.
While Keene will give the Demo-
Gratis one-third of the chairmanShipS,
the committee which they will head
will be the ones usually regarded as
light house committees. But a COM
mittee that carries little prominence in
former sessions might be a big COM
mittee this year.
All of the committe assignments by
the speaker are being made alter a
discussion with the minority leader. In
the assignments today, Thompson him
self was given the Craftsmanship of the

RAILROADS LOSE
Injunction Against 2-Cent Fare
Is Dismissed.
State Rate Not Affected by
Those of Other States.

Chicago, Jan. 13-The supremacy
of the Illinois 2-cent rate for pass
enger travel within the state was af-
firmed today by Judge Lands in the
United States district court when he
dismissed for want of equity the peti-
ton of twenty-eight railroads operat-
ing in Illinois for an injunction to re-
strain the state authorities from prose-
cutting for establishing a 2.4-cent rate.
Argument for several days preceded
the decision on the right of the inter-
state commerce commission to au-
thorize railroads to increase state
rates above the point established by
the state law being in question The
court held that the railroads could
have relieved discrimination against
points outside the state by reducing
the interstate rates instead of at
tempting to raise the state rate.
Case of Much Importance.
Judge Lands held that the Inter-
state Commerce commission had no
power under the guise of removing
discrimination against points outside
the state to repeal the Illinois two
cent law.
In a preliminary hearing Federal
Judge Carpenter declared the case TO
be one of the most important ever
brought before the federal courts. In
order to correct discrimination against
trans Mississippi river cities the inter-
state commerce commission ruled that
the "a cents mile was a proper rate
for passenger traffic. The Illinois law
fixed the state passenger rate at 2
cents mile and the roads affected
sought to have the public utilities
commission restrained from proceed
ing against them for violation of the
state law. The tariffs of the railroads
at the "a cent rate were suspended by
the utilities commission.

The beautifully carved pulpit for
Grace cathedral is the gift of the late
Mrs. d. P. Bliss, of Atchison, Kan,
and it will be placed in the cathedral
in her memory.
Mrs. Bliss was a devout Episcopal
liam. Some time before her death the
late Bishop Millspaugh visited Atchi-
son and knowing that Mrs. Bliss was
greatly interested in the cathedral, he
told her of the progress of the work
and described the interior as it was
to be when completed. Mrs. Bliss ex-
pressed the desire that a pulpit that
would be especially appropriate be
provided and told Bishop Millspaugh
that she would give it. Before the
time for the gift came, however, Mrs.
Bliss died and there was no provision
in her will for the pulpit. ]. P. Bar
low, her nephew who handled the es-
tate, knew of Mrs. Bliss's wish and he
carried out her intentions by providing
for the pulpit from her estate. Mrs.
Bliss was the widow of the senior

Once Fathers Chauffeur.
Married Him Three Years Ago
Over Protests of Family.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 13.-Mrs. John
Lawrence Smith, who two years ago
came to Denver from Eureka, Cal,
following a quarrel with her family
because she married her fathers
chauffeur, shot and killed her hus-
band early today after, she claimed
he had beaten her. John Bendle,
cook, heard the shot and rushed up
stairs. He saw Mrs. Smith, her al
most nude body covered with bloody
band had beaten her, stoop over her
husbands body.
With the remark, I'm afraid that
first shot didn't finish him. she
placed the pistol against Smith,
mouth and blew the top of his head
off with another shot, according to
Bendie.
Divorced Son of Bishop.
Mrs. Smith, at the time she married
Smith, was the divorced wife of Will
liam A. Moore, son of the late Bishop
Moore, of the Methodist church. She
was the adopted daughter of Albert
Britton, a wealthy oil man, formerly
of Beaumont, Tex, and Tulsa, Okla,
but now living at Eureka, Cal.
Following her divorce from Moore,
Mrs. Smith returned to her step
fathers home at Eureka While
there she married Smith, her fathers
chauffeur, in June, 1913.
The couple had been living apart
for several months, due, it is declar-
ed by Mrs. Smith, to her husbands
drinking habits.
Mrs Smith is said to own valuable
oil properties, from which she de-
rives an independent income.

Despite the fact that he has been
offered many locations, E. B. Rees,
who will feed hogs with Topeka
garbage, probably will not select the
site for his hog ranch until some time
next week, it was stated this morning.
ReeS believes that he can take care
of about 1000 hogs with the material
which he will collect from Topeka s
alleys, and is looking for a proper
location to establish a ranch of that
capacity. Rees will feed hogs till they
attain a weight of from 100 to 125
pounds, and then market them. He
will handle only Duroc-Jerseys. The
arrangements with the city for the
supplying of the garbage have been
finished.
