Folk sonps.

Folk songs differ from all other
songs In being the expression. unhin-

of primitive emotions and aspirations.
Their simplicity, and directness, says
the Christian Science Monitor. are un-

charm they exercise, more especially
as they often display within the lin

pacity for complicated rhythmical eff

variably the first musical faculty to
show itself, and is, therefore, more de-
veloped than any other faculty in these
primitive songs.

Matter-of-Fact Genius.
You can best approach genius by
adding value to whatever you touch.
No task should be allowed to pass
your hands without receiving benefit
from contact with you. Painstaking
fidelity and pl0ddlng accuracy never
fail to bless whatever they touch. Men
who work for the pay may slight
things. Men who take pride In their
output have regard to- the product,
knowing that the pay is bound to come
when the Job reflects the character
Of the man behind it. The fact is
that men who really bear the stamp
Of genius think nothing about it. They

HALT DISCHARGES
War Department Is Swamped
With Applications.
Announce Abandonment of Six
Army CantOnments.

Washington, July 23.-Secretary of
War Weeks today ordered all dis
charges in the army stopped. This
order followed instructions sent out
yesterday to limit discharges to 80 per
cent Of each command.
The secretary said that discharge ap-
pllcations are swamping the war de-
partment and that it has been con-
sidered best to suspend all discharges
until officials have an opportunity to
consider the applications now pending
and estimate the probable effects upon
the size of the army.
Abandon SIX CantOnments.
Secretary Weeks, General Pershing
and General Harbord conferred today
on plans for the reduction of the army
to 10000 men.
Six army cantonments will be aban-
doned by the war department. Secre-
tary Weeks announced today Two OF
the six are Camp Devens, Massachu-
sets, and Camp Meade, Maryland. The
remaining four were not named.

TO ENJOIN P. u. C.
Action Taken to Test Orders of
State Commission.
Involves Enforcement of SerV-
ice Charge Order.

Suit to enjo:n the state public utili-
ties commission from enforcement Of
it's recent service charge order in the
cases of Topeka and LeaveIlworth dis
tributing companies was filed today in
the United States district court. Tie
acton adds another link to the chain
of legal actions brought in state and
federal courts to test orders of the
state commission. These proceedings
have in recent weeks tied up virtually
the entire effect of orders issued by
the commission in utility cases.
The Consumers Light, Heat & Power
company of Topeka Joined with the
Leavenworth Light & Power COM
pany in asking Judge John G. Pol
lock for a restraining order against
the order of the Kansas commission.
Recently the commission reduced the
Leavenworth service charge to So
cents. Formerly LeaYenworth patrons
of the gas company had paid service
charge of 81 under an order from
Judge Booth of the federal court
establish virtually their own charges
In Topeka the service charge had been
rs cents. The commission reduced the
amount to 35 cents.
To Prevent Enforcement of Order.
In the petition filed with Frank
Campbell, clerk of the court the gas
companies ask that the commission be
restrained from enforcing certain pro-
visions of the order. They seek re-
lief from a mandate requiring that rev.
enues from the service charge be ap-
piled to repairs for leaks in mains. 1t
is alleged that the commission cannot
direct the channel thru which GER
tain revenues must be applied in the
operation of the gas company bust -ess.
Actions by the distributing COM
panies are in keeping with policies
adopted recently by public service cor
porations which are under the juris-
I diction of the commission. In prac-
ticaIly every decision of consequence
the utility has sought relief in the
courts and has applied for restraining
orders pending court review of the
proceedings. The gas companies to-
day ask for restraining order pend
ing final showing on application for
an Injunction.

a daily affair as the car will operate
Sundays as well as week days. The
car will accommodate from twenty

better mail service than they have
had for several years.
Topeka has not had a passenger
train connection with the Jefferson
county towns since the Santa Fe
ceased to operate the L. & T. line
about three years ago.

refused to surrender them and the
mob thereup,n n proceeded to break

building, break open five other doors
between them and the prisoner.
Altho not a shot was fired, 1t is

BergdOH Stacker Investigation
Suddenly Broken Up.
Rep. johnson and Charles
Braun Nearly Come to Blows.
NARROWLY AVERT A FIGHT
Draft Dodgers Brother Re-
sented Congressman's Queries.
Angry Kentuckian Plunged at
Witness-Uproar Follows.

Washington, July 23.-The Bergdoli
investigation committee session broke
up suddenly today after Charles A.
Braun, a witness, had called Rep.
johnson, democrat, Kentucky, of the
committee, liar and the latter made
an attempt to reach the witness.
Unsatisfied by answers he received
to numerous questions, Mr.. johnson
finally looked the witness in the eye
and said:
You know you are not telling the
truth"
You are a liar" Braun replied, the
rest of his statement being lost in the
uproar that followed as the Ken
tuckian plunged toward the witness.
Braun said something about being
prosecuted" as the sergeant at arms
hustled him out of the room to board
the first train for home, excused by
the chairman from further appear
ance.
"I would like to get hold of your
brother" somebody shouted in the
confusion as he went out.
Brother Changed Name.
rs this committee going to let that
hater of the American flag get away
from here without being punished ?"
Representative johnson demanded,
paying no heed to efforts of Repre-
SCAltdtANc AOO0t 1OClIlOCIdls NlTElllld, 10
quiet him.
The confusion was so great that the
chairman announced adjournment
without fixing a time for further
hearings. Braun is brother of
Grover Cleveland BergdoIl, escaped
draft dodger, and was called as
witness by Maj. Bruce r. Campbell,
whom Mrs. Emma c. BergdoH, of
Philadelphia, mother of the draft
| dodger. and Braun, who changed his
! name because of the family trouble.
i had charged accepted $4,000 to aid
in her sons escape.
! Before the incident. which broke
4 up the hearing, Mr.. johnson asked
! Braun about the visit of John H.
Sherburne, committee counsel, to Mrs.
Bergdoll, just before the evidence
against Campbell was presented.
| Mr.. Sherburne. Braun said, sug-
gested that Mrs. Bergdoll dismiss
Harry Weinberger. a New York law
yer, from her case concerning the
seizure of Grover Bergdolrs property.
/ Mr.. Sherburne is in Boston and Chair
man Peters suggested that 1t would be
proper to get his version of the inter-
view.
In any of Growers letters TO his
mother, did he mention the name OF
an officer or an Attorney" Mr.. John
son persisted.
Il don't know"
DID your mother tell you about
any of her letters being opened?"
"She did not mention a particular
one. but said several letters had been
intercepted" Braun replied.
James E. Romig, formerly a Phila-
J delphia police magistrate and long a
/ confidential adviser of the Bergdoll
! family, also was called by Campbell.
He testified that when he asked Camp
bell to defend Irwin Bergdoll. also a
> Stacker, the major declared that he
! had had enough of the Bergdolls.
