The spelling reformers have put out another list of mangled words. Where Is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to the English Language? The management of the steam roads entering Paris is considering a prop­ osition to electrify all lines for some considerable distance into the suburbs. During the year ending last month there were 485 new electric plants put into operation in the United States, Canada and Mexico, which makes the total 6,498. Funny thing about our withdrawal from Cuba is that the new republic is now able to have all the cock fights and bull fights it wants, and we don't dare to say a word. If these men who pretend to deter­ mine the height of mountains keep varying the figures, some of them are likely to prove scientifically that Pike's Peak is a hole in the ground. A Wisconsin woman who broke her arm set it herself. Next thing the pub­ lic hears from a woman of such self resource as this will be that she closely examined a cut on the back of her neck. W: :• "Aerogram" is a fairly good word. It signifies wireless message. Science has added many words to the lan­ guage within the last few years.

MACVEAGH GETS A PLACE The regents of the University of Minnesota have ordained that all con­ tracts with members of the faculty ahall expire when teachers reach their sixty-fifth birthday. Next June, it is aald, half a dozen old gentlemen will call the class roll for the last time, un­ less they have before followed the ex­ ample of their president, Dr. Northrop, and sent in their resignations. Lord Northcliffe, the great English aewepaper proprietor, was so Im­ pressed by the attractiveness of the gray squirrels in American parks that he took home a number of pairs to be liberated in England. If he is per­ mitted to land them it may still hap­ pen that in a country where they are strangers, and where, therefore, their natural enemies have not developed, they may become as great a nuisance as the English sparrow here and t£e rabbit in Australia. Transplantlpg animals is always somewhat risky. Wilson and Meyer the Only Hold- Overt from the Roosevelt Regime--No Selections from Ohio. Now York. -- President-eflbt Taft has announced the cabinet officers for his administration which will open with his inauguration into office March 4. With the announcement he confirmed the selection of Franlflin MacVeagh, the Chicago merchant, who, it has been rumored for some time, was billed for a place among the new executive's advisers. The complete cabinet Is: Secretary of State--Philander Chase Knox of Pennsylvania. Secretary of the Treasury--Franklin MacVeagh of IUinoiB. *3ecretary of War--Jacob M. Dickin­ son of Tennessee. Attorney General--George W, Wick- ersham of New York. Postmaster General -- Frank H. Hitchcock of Massachusetts. Secretary of the Navy--George Von L. Meyer of Massachusetts. Secretary of the Interior--Richard A. Ballinger of Washington. Secretary of Agriculture--James Wilson of Iowa. Secretary of Commerce and Labor-- Charles Nagel of Missouri. Jacob M. Dickinson, who is a Chica- goan, besides having a resilience in Tennessee, was chosen as secretary of war to fill the position which Mr. Taft held before he became a candi­ date for the office to which he was elected last November. On Senator Knox the president will rely more than any other of his cab­ inet. His admiration for the eminent Pennsylvanian is of long standing, and he believes that in him he has found a man who will steer a clear course in any storm that may arise during his coming administration. It has been on his judgment to a great extent that the other selections for cabinet officers were made. Frank H. Hitchcock and George Von L. Meyer give Massachusetts a double representation In the Taft administra­ tion, but It is understood that Mr. Taft could hardly avoid taking both these men. \ Chicago, in a sense, has really two representatives in Mr. Dickinson and Mr. MacVeagh, although the former is officially credited to Tennessee in the south. The south In a sense gets a second representative in CharleB Nagel of St. Louis, who is to be secre­ tary of commerce and labor, succeed­ ing Mr. Straus of New York. The Pacific coast and the far west is represented by Richard A. Ballinger, whose knowledge of the questions aris­ ing in the distribution of lands and of forest preserves is believed to fit in eminently for the office of secretary of the Interior. Mr. Taft evidently believed that in the presidency Ohio had been given a full share of the honors, and is known to have appreciated the fact that a number of eminent Buckeye states­ men showed a becoming modesty in refusing to push their claims for recognition. The great middle west will have {•secretary Wilson of Iowa as its rep­ resentative. He will continue as head of the department of agriculture, and no selection made by Mr. Taft will re­ ceive more widespread approval. Dur­ ing the 12 years that Mr. Wilson has been secretary of agriculture he has shown an efficiency that made any other suggestion for the office impos­ sible. On March 4 he will have made a record in length of service of cabinet officers. FISH TRUST HEAD INDICTED W. VEJtNON BOOTH ACCUSED BY •HitAND jurrvf ip m Charge! with Conspiring wtth P. It Robbins to Defraud Bank of S3CO.O0O. Chicago;--W. Vernon Booth, preil dent of the failed fish corporation, A. Booth & Co., and leader of the fox hunting set in Lake Forest, who was indicted by the Cook county grand jury Saturday on the charge of con­ spiring with Frederick R. Robbins, former assistant treasurer of the com­ pany, to defraud the Continental Na­ tional bank out of $300,000, gave bond Monday. In the event of conviction the of­ fense charged carries with it a sen­ tence of from one to five years in the penitentiary or a fine of $2,000 or both. Bonds were set at $25,000 Saturday, but State's Attorney Way man delayed the issuance of capiases for the arrest of Booth and Robbins until to-day to give the accused men a chance to fur­ nish bail. Only four witnesses were utilised to convince the grand jury that it was warranted in indicting Mr. Booth and Mr. Robbins on the charge of "willful­ ly, feloniously, and wickedly" conspir­ ing by false pretenses to secure the money from the bank by means of the false financial statement of the com­ pany in 1907. These witnesses are: Alexander Robertson, vice-president of the Continental National bank, a member of the creditors' committee; Ira M. Smith, former vice-president of the company, who resigned; W. J. Chalmers, receiver of A. Booth ft Co.; N. J. Ford, credit man, Corn Exchange National bank. LOCK CANAL, TO MURDER PLANNED IN PRISON. Negro Confesses to Slaving of Mis* Rosen at Ottumwa, la. Des. Moines, la.--John Junken, self- confessed negro slayer of Clara Rosen at Ottumwa February 5' last, was brought to Des Moines Sunday by Sheriff Griffin of Albia from the coun­ ty jail there. The slayer was placed in the county jail here for safe keep­ ing as feeling runs high in Ottumwa, the scene of five brutal murders of women by negroes. Junken In a confession declared be had deliberately planned to commit the awful deed at Ottumwa while he was still an inmate of the Madison penitentiary serving time for robbing and beating a woman. It was his boast that he would again "do the trick" If given a chance. Ho boasted his ability to assault defenseless wom­ en. This Information came in a letter from Albert Evans, a Missouri negro, who was a cellmate with Junken at Fort Madison. ARREST ORGANIZED SWINDLERS. Band Charged with Frauds of About •500,000. Little Roek, Ark. -- That their field of operations extended over the entire country and their victims numbered nearly 100 from whom almost $500,000 was secured during the past two years was the declaration Tues­ day of the state and federal officials who caused the arrest of J. C. Maybry and three alleged confederates, lead­ ers, it is charged, of a most thorough­ ly organized band of swindlers, on a charge of using the malls to defraud. In searching the effects of Maybry rec­ ords were found giving the names, the authorities declare, of men who were victimized, and as well as over 300 others, stationed in every state in the union and in several provinces in Canada, who, the officials assert* act­ ed as agents of the men. Government experiments may so^re the problem of preventing explosions in coal mines. If human care and fore­ thought will only co-operate with sci­ ence in the great art of prevention, un­ avoidable accidents will be reduced to an appreciable minimum. But the first element of the combination is the one on which least reliance can be placed. The tendency of human nature, re­ marks the Boston Herald, to take chances rather than to take trouble is the hardest obstacles which pre­ ventive science will ever have to over­ come. ROOSEVELT IS SCORED. Congressman Coek, a Republican, Raps the President. Lawyers and physicians ' In New York are trying to bring about legisla­ tion which will do away or at least minimize the evils of the so-called "ex­ pert" testimony at trials. Experience allows that expert evidence practically aerveB no other end at present than to Impede justice and cause delays at once useless and expensive to the atate, as both sides can provide "ex­ perts" to give diametrically opposite testimony, until the practice has be­ come a legal nuisance, if not some­ thing of a scandal in the administra­ tion of justice. ?

Washington.--By an overwhelming vote, and without party distinction the house of representatives Thursday sus talned the committee on appropria­ tions In again reporting a provision in the sundry civil appropriation bill, re­ stricting the operations of the secret service detectives of the treasury de­ partment. The president was scathing de- Bounced by Mr. Cook, a Republican of Colorado, while Mr. Smith, a Re­ publican of Iowa, a member of the appropriations committee and one of those named by the president in his message of January 4 last as being responsible for the secret service lim itation seemingly employed all the In­ vective at his command in an attack on that service. The discussion arose over 'an amendment by Mr. Bennet of New York striking out the provision limit­ ing the field of operations of the se cret service. A similar paragraph in the last appropriation bill is what gave rise to the president's strictures upon members of congress. Mr. Ben- net entered a general defense of the secret service detectives.

HORSEWHIPS "BILLY" SUNDAY EVANGELIST IS ATTACKED SPRINGFIELD, ILL. IN Religious Fanatic Delivers 8everal Blows Before the Minister Knocks Him Down. 8pringfield, 111.--Rev. W. A. Sunday, better known as "Billy" Sunday, a former baseball player, who Is now an evangelist, was horsewhipped Friday night by a religious fanatic at the Sun­ day tabernacle where, in the presence of 8,000 persons, he was conducting the opening meeting of a religious re­ vival meeting. The evangelist had just made his opening remarks and was leaning against the pulpit on an elavated plat­ form while a hymn was sung by Fisch­ er and Butler, his choir leaders, and Miss Edith Anderson, a soprano of Springfield, when a powerful man, who said his name was Shnrman Potts, Bprang forward with a buggy whip and struck Mr. Sunday several terrific blows.

He made the attack, he said, in de­ fense of the virtue of women whom he declared had been criticised by the evangelist. The police say Potts is a religious fanatic. DEFENDS THE CATHOLICS. Cardinal Gibbons Replies to Protestant Charges of Disloyalty. Baltimore, Md.--'-An article will ap­ pear in the March number of the North American Review from Cardinal Gibbons in which the cardinal replies categorically to charges made by Lutheran and Baptist ministers af­ fecting the loyalty of members of the Catholic communion. Cardinal Gibbons begins by saying that "fifteen millions of Catholics live their lives 4n our land with undis­ turbed belief in the perfect harmpny existing between their religion and their duties as American citizens. "It never occurs to their minds to question the truth of a belief which all their experience confirms. Love of religion and love of country burn together in their hearts. They love their church as the divine spiritual society set up by Jesus Christ, through which they ate brought into a closer communion with God, learn his revealed truth and his holy law, receive the help they need to lead Christian lives and are inspired with the hope of eternal happiness."

STATE EXPERT.... Testimony pf Eminent Surgeon Whp Performed Carmack Autopsy May Be Used by Defense--llll- Vitals Manon Stand. ^S^k: - • • . Nashville,' Tenn.--The spectacle of counsel on one side not only selling a witness to the opposition, but hag­ gling over the terms, was one of the elevating and extraordinary incidents Monday in the trial of Col. D. B. Cooper, Robin Copper and John D. Sharp for the slaying of former United States Senator E. W. Carmack. The subject of the commercial trans­ action was Dr. McPheeters Glasgow, one of the most eminent surgeons of the state, who had been employed by the prosecution to go to Columbia aad perform an autopsy on Senator Car- mack's body. He did so, and reported his findings to the prosecutors. He was subpoenaed by the state but was not used. The defense learned of the au­ topsy and sumomned the doctor. Dr. Glasgow told counsel for the de­ fense that his services as an expert had been retained by the state and that he would not discuss the case ex­ cept with the attorney general. The defense asked the court to instruct the doctor to talk to its counsel. The court compiled partially by tell­ ing the doctor that it would be proper for him to talk with the de­ fendant's attorneys if he had any in­ formation that would throw light en the killing. The state objected, and the. doctor stood firm. Unless the state, which employed him, ordered him to consult with the opposition, he declined to talk. The state suggested that the defense swear the doctor and put him on the stand. The defense re^- sented the suggestion and declared it would put no witness on the stand without knowing to what he would testify. Then the state counsel aiid Attorney General McCarn made this astounding proposition: That if the de­ fense would pay the state the coBt of the autopsy, including Dr. Glas­ gow's fee, the state would waive Its rights. , „ As Judge Hart said, "the defense wanted to see the- goods before they bought," and they offered to confer with Dr. Glasgow and if they decided to use him as a witness to reimburse the state. To this counter proposition the pros­ ecutors entered an emphatlo veto. "Pay whether you use him or not," they said, and the court's comment: "They want to sell the goods in a bag." There was another heated^ confer­ ence and' the defense bought the goods in the bag and Dr. Glasgow be­ came their witness. The significance of his testimony was that any one of the three wounds was necessarily and Instantly fatal and that if the senator did not fire the first shots he could not have fired at all. The only other witness of the day was S. J. Binning of Danville, 111., who claimed to have seen Senator Car­ mack fingering his revolver and test, ing the cylinder a few moments be­ fore the shooting began. 8TEPHENSON IN A QUANDARY.
