MARSHALL KNOWS ONE RULE.
Vice-President Marshall has been
accused of not knowing the rules of
the Senate any too well. On sever
al, occasions, in fact, he has had to
be more or less gently corrected in
his rulings by one or another of the
older senators. But one great Senate
rule—or lack of rule—Mr. Marshall
has completely mastered. This he
showed the other day when the point
of order was made against Senator
Jones that he was not speaking to
any question before the Senate. The
vice-president, however, decided that
the point had no force, since "a sen
ator can talk about anything he
pleases, regardless of what may be
pending before the Senate.” This,
to be sure, is against general parlia
mentary law; it is against Jefferson’s
Manual, which is made a part of the
rules of the Senate. But custom is
more powerful than any rules; and it
declares that a senator cannot be
prevented from making a few earnest
remarks, for two or three hours, up
on the subject of pins, although the
resolution actually before the Sen
ate may be one to appropriate $100,
000 in the purchase of mustard
seeds.—New York Evening Post.

slaughter of the innocent children.
The strikers are now preparing to
attack the soldiers and a reign of
civil war is sure to break out in the
strike zone. General Chase has ask
ed for re-enforcements and has tel
egraphed to Governor Ammons to
withhold his judgment until he can
make an investigation, as he says the
strikers have misrepresented the ]
real facts.
Governor Ammons is in Washing
ton, D. C„ but will start immedi
ately for Denver to direct an investi
gation into t' e cause of the trouble.
TRINIDAD, Colo., April 23.—Word
has just reached here that the strik
ers have attacked the Empire mine,
which is being defended by 200 state
militiamen and that the miners have
been using dynamite, which |£hey
threw into the mine buildings, caus
ing them to burn. Six employees of
the mine have been killed, while 30
men and women are believed to be
suffocating in the mine, where they
sought shelter prior to the Are and
are now cut off from escape.
The militia have been unable to
dislodge the miners, who are well
armed and have kept the militia at
bay.
DENVER, Colo,, April 23. -The en
tire state guard is being concentrat
ed here this morning and will be
sent to Trinidad to establish order.
The strikers will be disarmed and
driven from the strike zone or con
fined in bull pens until the present
trouble is over. Governor Ammons
has wired instructions for active op
erations against the strikers, who
have armed themselves and are main
taining civil war in Colorado. Several
special trains are being prepared for
the run to Trinidad.

TELLS HOW MUCH
TO m BABY
Machine Solves a Problem of
Mothers the World Over.
REDUCED TO EXACT SCIENCE
Cornell Professor Before Physicians’
Convention Demonstrates Wonderful
Device—Physiologists Are Impressed
by Report on Brain Discovery Made
by Dr. John W. Crile of Cleveland.
Science, that indomitable force against
which barriers heretofore impregnable
are crumbling steadily and laying bare
stores of vital knowledge, has at last
mastered the problem of every mother
—namely, the proper feeding of her
baby. So it was announced by Dr. J.
R. Murlln of Cornell university to the
medical savants who attended the clos
ing session of the three day convention
of the Federation of American Socie
ties For Experimental Biology at the
University of Pennsylvania.
By a delicate system of chemical cal
culations. Dr. Murlln gave out, which
he obtained after perfecting an incuba
tor-like apparatus for the study of en
ergy evolved by an infant’s body, he
has been able to determine scientifical
ly the food requirements of the newly
born Infant, even of the premature
baby.
To Study Baby’* Needs.
The Infant that Is not responding to
the customary diets can be put Into
the device, and an exact knowledge of
just what nutritious substances he
needs can be procured. Baby can play
about In the boxlike machine Just as
the whim takes him. lie can roll
about, kick, cry, laugh, googoo, sleep
—anything that might be expected of
him—but all the while that mystic
process Is going on.
Dr. Murlln explained that the con
stituents of the air inhaled and ex
haled by the infant inside were meas
ured chemically—how, ouly a man with
the cipher of ton syllable words at his
finger ends could understand. From
these measurements it is a simple mat
ter for the physician to prescribe for
his little patient a diet that is bound
to start him on his way to robustness.
Much tbe same kind of research
work was reported by Dr. A. S. Loe
venhart of the University of Wiscon
sin. fie had a similar apparatus, res
piration chamber, as it were, to work
with as the one made by Dr. Murlin,
though the former confined all his ob
servations to small animals.
Dr. Crile’s Brain Discovery.
Tlie physiologists of the federation
marveled at a discovery made by Dr.
.Tohu W. Crlle of Cleveland, who as
one of the greatest surgeons in the
country won international fame as
tiie originator of local anaesthesia.
Dr. GTile announced that after exam
ining more than 700 brains he had been
able to group certain organisms that
were interdependent, co-ordinated with
one another.
He called this group the "kinetic
system” and named the brqin, adrenal,
thyroid gland, liver and pancreas syn
drome as the organisms which com
posed it He found by his experiments
that whatever hurt one of these affect
ed the others. Some sort of sympa
thetic relationship, he said, existed be
tween them.
BAR “GOD ” SAYS DR. ELIOT.
Would Substitute “Our Father" In New
Faith Baaed on Fact.
Nothing so radical from a high source
has appeared In years as the supple
mentary article on “The Future of Re
ligion,” which Dr. Charles W. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard, has
prepared and which has been publish
ed by the American Unitarian associa
tion, j
Dr. Eliot would take away the term
“God" and use in its place “Our Fa
ther.” His twentieth century Chris
tianity does not believe in the garden
of Eden. Dr. Eliot says God did not
make man out of the dust of the
ground, nor did be give into the hands
of Moses the Ten Commandments;
neither did the sun stand still for
Joshua, nor did Jonah abide in the
whale.
There'will be no miracles in this
twentieth century religion. “Meu of
science,” says Dr. Eliot “have no faith
In magic or miracles.”
The brotherhood of man will be the
outcome of tbe new religion, declares
the Harvard scholar.
WORLD’S GOLD AND SILVER.
Notable Decrease In Product of This
Country, the Transvaal and Mexico.
George B. Roberts, director of the
mint, estimates the world’s production
of gold last year at $406,000,000, ap
proximately $11,000,000 less than 1b
1912. He places the silver production
at 212,000.000 fine ounces, about 12,
000,000 Jess than in 1912.
In the United States the production
of gold fell off $6,000,000. chiefly in
Alaska and Nevada. The Transvaal
fell $6,000,000 behind Its record of
1912. But for tbe miners* strike in
June tbe Transvaal would have shown
a moderate increase. Australasia loat
$1,000,000, which la a continuation of a
decline that baa been going on for
Several yearn. Mexico’s production fell
off about $6,000,000. due to the war.
Canada: gained $2,700,000 In the pro
duction of gold and British India
$1,000,00$.
