JOKES ARE CRRCKED
ABOARD PRES’T IRAIN
(Continuer from page one.)
Kiealppl, who escorted President Wil
son to Pass OhriKtlan, also accompan
ied him <>n the return trip.
After a short *lay the special train
departed for Washington.
Much Refreshed.
On Board President Wilson’s Spe
cial, West Point, Ga. —President Wil
son Journeyed homeward today, ready
to take up the problems of his admin
istration with renewed vigor. He
looked physically refreshed by his
vacation of nearly three weeks at
Pass Christian, Mise., and appeared
In better health than at any other
time since his inauguration.
May Return.
The president told members of his
party that he liked ihe gulf const
and might go there again for a win
j ter vacation. His desire for isolation
i was courteously observed by the. citi
zens of the little village during Ills
! slay there and he was not annoyed
iby the usual horde of cullers who
1 daily seek to see him at the White
House on official business. Aside
; from .John Lind, his personal repre
sentative in Mexico, the only person
j who came to Pass Christian to see
j the chief executive, on business, was
| Mrs. Margaret Cardwell, of Beaumont,
i Texas, and while she did not get an
| (audience with MY. Wilson, a note
I from her reached him.
Sought Justice.
j Mrs. Cardwell said she had made
1 the journey from Texas with finan
cial iliflculty and sought justice in
her suit against a railroad of that
- state, from whom she claimed dam
ages for the death of her husband, a
conductor. She said she had failed to
get her case before an unprejudiced
tribunal. The president sent Dr.
Cary T. Grayson, his naval aide, to
ask Mrs. Cardwell to prepare a state
ment of facts and Bend them to the
White House.
Another Joke.
The president had another joke at
the expense of Dr. Grayson today.
The latter received a telegram from
his fellow townsmen, Cooney Hans
borough, telling him that if the pres
ident’s train would stop at Culpeper,
Va , the whole town" would be at the
station to meet him. Several weeks
ago when Dr. Grayson did have an
ambition of his youth gratified in hav
ing a fast train stop at. his town of
Culpeper, no one was there lo greet
the presidential party except Hans
borough, an odd character whose fre
quently broken limbs and recurrent
bruises Dr. Grayson has for many
years attended. The president’s aide
regretfully telegraphed his friend that
the train would pass through Cul
peper at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning
and therefore could not stop.

KA TTLESNAKES ON HIGHWAY S
WHERE W ORK IS BEING DONE
AN “INDUSTRIAL HAZARD ”
Olympia, Wash. — Rattlesnakes infesting a country wtiere roadwork is
under way constitute an ‘‘industrial hazard.” and a workman bitten by
a snake is entitled to compensation from the state industrial insurance
fund, according to a ruling contained in the report today of the state
industrial Insurance commision which granted a claim for injury ben
efit.
Other peculiar incidents are recorded in the report. A boy shot a
workman in the eye with an air gun. The commission accepted the
gun as an industrial hazard and the claim for injury was paid.
A brutal boss does not, however, constitute a hazard.
MEMORIAL TO MARK THE PLACE
WHERE LINCOLN EIRST MET
IEFEERSON DA VIS
Chicago.—The Historical Society of Illinois today announced that it
would place a memorial to mark the place where Abraham Lincoln and
deferson Davis first met. The site for the monument is 75 miles west
of Chicago in DeKalk County. Therein 18:52 the future president of ltie
fnited States of America and of «t.he Confederacy first saw each
other. As soldiers they had gone to assist in ending the Black Hawk
Indian massacre. Lincoln was a youth of 23 and a eaptaip of militia.
Davis, one year his senior, was a lieutenant just out. of West Point.
Incidentally, among those at the meeting was General Zachary Taylor
who later was to become president of the United States.
the senate may be more disposed to
authorize an investigation similar to
that which it conducted last summer
int" the coal strike in West Virginia.
Government Ownership.
Government ownership of railroads,
a* proposed in the Alaskan railway
hills, will he forced upon the atten
tion of members of both bodies as
soon as they take up work. In each
branch, a bill to authorize the gov
ernment to build railroads in the
northern territory has received the
endorsement of a committee, and has
been placed before congress as ‘un
finished business." where It must he
taken up without delay. While the
principle of government ownership,
even as applied to Alaskan roahs, has
many opponents among the leaders of
both houses, some leaders expected that
a hill authorizing the proposed devel
opment will be passed after a short
debate.
President Wilson's Influence Is
strongly behind the plan for a system
of rural banks and credit associations:
and that project is expected to vie
With trust questions, in the attention
that will be given to it by the ad
ministration. The report of the rural
credit commission, which toured Eu
rope last year, has been carefully gone
over by the president: and when leg
islation Is token up 11 probably will
he along concerted lines, such as
characterized action on the general
currency bill.
Congressional Campaign.
With the prospects of a hard con
gressional campaign next summer and
fall, the democratic forces are anxious
to add Ihe rural credit laws, and sev
eral effective trust statutes, to the
record of legislation with which they
can go before the voters. From the
outset of work leazlers in both houses
will attempt to guide legislation so
that appropriation bills can be com
pleted early in the spring, and other
important measures disposed of ill
time to permit an early adjournment.
Opposition to the so-called "sea
man's hill” regulating the labor of
sailors has become so - pronounced In
the house that a hard fight promises
to fnce that measure before it can be
passed. The bill passed the senate
last fall and an effort will be made
to bring it up In the house for action
at an early date.
Woman’s suffrage will also give
both branches of congress a busy time.
Advocates of a constitutional amend
ment permitting women to vote have
massed their forces in Washington and
nte preparing for a concerted attack
on senate and house, aided by majiy
senators anti representatives who fa
vor general suffrage and who will
advocate some positive action by con
gress endorsing it.
Trust Legislation.
The scope of trust legislation prob
ably will not he fully outlined for sev
eral weeks. Recent developments in
financial and commercial circles have
convinced leaders In both houses that
effective legislation to correct alleged
abuses can be passed without seri
ously disturbing business conditions.
The president and his legal advisors
will collaborate with the committees
of senate and house on effective bills
that will reach some of the more Im
portant phases of the trust problem
without requiring a revolution of cor
poration methods.
Congress has taken up the problems
of national defense with unusual act
ivity since December 1. The immi
nence of a crisis in this country’s re
lations with Mexico has made more
apparent the weakness of the military
system of the country; and important
steps have already been made toward
strengthening the power of the presi
dent and the executive branches of
the government, to cope with sudden
emergencies.
Aviation.
The volunteer army bill, which pass
cd the house and is favorably regard
ed in the senate, would provide ef
fective machinery for the raising of
volunteer forces in any emergency.
The Hay aviation bill, which has the
endorsement of the house military af
fairs committee, and of the war de
partment. would create an aviation
branch of the army capable of hand
ling at least twenty-four aeroplanes,
and of training efficient forces of air
fighters. Theoe and other bills will
he given unusual prominence during
the balance of this session of con
gress.
Diplomatic relations with Nicaragua
and other Central American countries
may give further trouble to the sen •
ate. The first Nicaraguan treaty out
lined by Secretary Bryan did not meet
with the approval of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations, because
of the protectorate it would have es
tablished over the southern republic.
The project is to be taken up again
during the roming months; and it is
expected that a general policy toward
Central Airoerican countries will be
outlined by the senate, President Wil
son and Secretary Bryan.

Shaw Lady Looks Younger
Instead of Older With
Lapse of Time.
Shaw. Miss. —Mrs. V. N. Smith, of
this city, makes an interesting state
ment of her experiences, as follows:
’’Twenty-nine years ago, I contracted I
a serious form of womanly (rouble. [
w. called in our family physician, and
he treated me tor it. hut it seemed to j
do no good. It went on into other ,
had troubles. 'and 1 commenced taking
all kinds of medicines to set it I could
get relief, but to no avail.
1 suffered with that trouble up un
til eleven years ago. when X read about
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and bought
a full treatment. It relieved me at
once, and after taking the full treat
ment, I am now ".veil and stout.
1 sent my brother, whom I had not
seen in twenty years, one of my pho
tographs. and he wrote me that I
looked younger than w r hen he last saw
me."
For more than 50 years, Cardui has
been relieving women's sufferings,
and building weak women up to health
and strength. No other tonic gives the
same results as Cardui. No othpr
woman's medicine has the long rec
ord of success in treating cases of
womanly weakness and disease.
Cardui will surely help you.

Scandal From Pulpit is
Scored by Vice Pres't
Nation Needs Men of Back
bone, Not Laws, Police or
Large Army Says Mr.
Marshall.
Washington.—lnfidelity and discus
sion from the pulpit of latest bits of
scandal were scored by Vice-President
Marshall in an address at a service
of the Woman's Missionary Society
here last night. He declared he
would rather have the American peo
ple bow down before an image than
acknowledge no God at all, adding
that if the republic is to endure “we
must go back and place our faith in
cod.”
"What this country needs," said the
vice-president, “is not laws, police m/r
large armies. It needs men with
backbone, men wiling to stand for
something more and men who do not
try only to make money. I say make
money and I would like to make ail
that I possibly could, but I would
have it made so cleanly that yous
babies could cut their teeth on it and
never be polluted.”

mission in finding Thaw sane would
not affect the main issue, “except that
it may afford Thaw the opportunity
of reaching some foreign country from
which he cannot he extradited, or, of
killing some man.”
To U. S. Supreme Court.
The only question involved in the
proceedings before Judge Aldrich is
whether the governor of New HatlNi
shire acted legally when he granted
the extradition. Whatever way this
question is decided it will go to the
United Utates supreme court. I am
sure we would appeal if reversed and
certainly the other side would con
tinue the tight.”
If the supreme court upholds Gov.
Felker in extraditing Thaw Jerome
continued. Thaw' will be brought back
to New York for ‘‘trial of conspiracy
charges preferred against him aftet
his escape from Matteawan and ulti
mately will be lodged hack iu the
asylum whence he fled.”
Conflicting Emotions.
Concord. N. H. —Believing that his
early release on bail is practically aa
stired by the report of a federal court
commisison that he would not be a
menace to public safety, Harry Ken
dall Thaw today began planning for
visiting friends within the state
Thaw said that if the court should
admit him to bail, he would not leave
New Hampshire for the present.
Made Many Friends.
Since his detention here he has
made man. acquaintances. Thaw
planned, he said, to make his first
visit at the home of one of his cus
todians. Sheriff Holman P. Drew at
Berlin. Drew arrested Thaw near
Colehrook, alter his deportation tfrom
Canada.
After the lawyers have had suffic
ient time to study the report of tho
commission, United States Judge
Edgar Aldrich will give another hear
ing on Thaw's petition for admission
to bail.
Some Smll'e, Others Don't.
New York. —Attorneys, alienists and
others who have participated in the
trials and insanity hearings of Harry
K. Thaw received new r s of the com
missions report which decided that he
was sane with conflicting emotions —-
some expressing pleasure at the find
ings. others reiterating convictions
that Thaw would be a menace if re
leased on hail.
William T. Jerome refused to dis
cuss the report and said he did tint
care to talk about his next move to
have Thaw returned to Matteawan
whence he escaped five months agex
Fears for His Life.
Dr. Austin Flint, alienist foY'Dic
state in the prosecution of Thaw, de
clared that he feared for his life if
Thaw's release was granted without
restrictions.
I)r. Flint went over the history of
Thaw’s life and attemoted to show
that he might be a model citizen for a
; time but that temptations of drink and
a desire for revenge would lead him
Pack into his dangerous self. He con
| eluded by saying that “Thaw is highly
' insane and dangerous."
Directly Opposite.
Expressing a directly opposite view
to that of Dr. Flint, Dr. Britton D.
Finns, superintendent of the New Jer
sey State Institute for the Insane said
the commission’s report confirmed his
testimony given at hearings where
I Thaw's sanity was at slake.
Dr. Russell Kieb, superintendent of
j Matteawan Hospital for the Criminal
j insane, expressed surprise when in
< formed of the text of the report.
| “I have said before, Thaw, I believe,
is insane and my very act of keeping
him confined is an expression of my
belief that he was insane,” asserted
I Dr. Kiel).
Important Victory.
The decision of the commission is
the most important victory won by
Thaw in his fight for liberty.
It is generally agreed now that Thaw
stands an excellent chance of being
admitted to bail pending the determi
nation of the writ of habeas corpus
sued out in his behalf. What effect
the finding of the commission will
have on the decision of Federal Judge
Aldrich, of New Hampshire, on tho
question of New York's right to ex
tradite Thaw, is problematical.
May Go in Business.
Pittsburg, Pa—Roger O'Mara, trus
tee for the estate, of Harry K. Thaw
and his confidential adviser, said to
day that while no definite plans had
been formed for Thaw If he were re
leased on bail, he probably would come
to Pittsburg and go Into business.
"Court action to establish Thaw's
sanity in Pennsylvania will be re
ouened," declared O'Mara. "He has
the ability to start and maintain a
successful business and he will do it '
