Hearing on Fair Protest;
The officials of the state fair board
held a session today for the purpose of
hearing the evtdsncs to .be. conajdared .In
the matter of a protest against certain
awards in the horse department at the
last stats fair. The premium In what was
known as the Belgian futurity was
awarded to Peter llopley, a well known
breeder, and four others filed an accu
sation that, as a matter of fact, tho
horse that won was not a pure-bred Bel
gian. It was to consider this matter that
a special meeting was arranged for, to
day. It has been brought out In the Investi
gation of the street car trouble that both
aides In the game were using detectives.
The street car company employed detect
ives on which to base the discharge of
the members of the union, and later the
employes had detectives following the
other detectives. The controversy has
thus simmered down to one as to who
la telling the truth about conditions. The
arbitration board continues In session,
taking evidence In the case.
The supreme court rendered aa Im
portant Insurance decision this morning,
in which it waa held that a rider to a
fire Insurance policy, known as an "aver
age clause" la legal under the Iowa
statutes. Such a rider was attached to
a policy In Bloux City where five sep
arate buildings were Insured and the
clause provided that In case of a loss
the payment waa to be only on each
building "In such proportion as the value
of each building bears to the aggregate
value ef the entire property Insured."
Under this clause the German Insurance
company insisted that it was liable for
only a small part of a loss on one build
ing only of the five insured. The court
holds that tba clause Is not In violation
of the Iowa law which forbids riders
ot any kind as it differs entirely from
the co-Insurance riders that It waa
eought to suppress. Mora recently the
coinsurance riders have also been legal
ized.
Preparations are belns made by the
elate railroad commission for presenta
tion to the Interstate Commerce commis
sion of the matter ot the various com
plaints against Interstate rates to Iowa
points. It is understood that a special
examiner will be here the latter part of
next Week and that Commissioner liar
Ian will come luter and take up the
cases. The suits were brought on behalf
of the shippers In various citing to com
pel a reduction because of the lower
through rate to western points.

NKW VOItK, Ort. 21. The Judiciary o'

Is the opinion of Theodore Jtooxevclt,
who spoke lust night on "The Conserva
tion of Womanhood and Childhood." be
fore the Civic forum.
This control. In Mr. Roosevelt's Judg
ment "should be exercised more cau
tiously and In different fashion than the
luntrol by people over the legislator and
tho executive, but the control must bo
there."
Control of Judges, Mr. Roosnveit said,
was but half-although by far the more
Important part of a program which
should be carried out for proper con
servation of manhood, womanhood and
childhood. The first half of the program,
he said, consisted In placing upon the
state book of nation and states legislation
to remedy existing defects.
The former president spoke at length
of what he termed "crying abuses con
nected with child labor."
Favors Children's Bureau.
Mr. Roosevelt advocated enactment by
congress of the bill providing for a
bureau to be known as the children's
bureau and to gather, claaslfy and dis
tribute accurate information on all sub
jects relating to the welfare of children.
He urgod working women to organise as
worklngmen are now organised and de
clared that New York should put a stop
to manufacturing In tenement houses.
, Experience In the last twenty-five yenrs,
the speaker declared, has shown that
while the people msy be aroused to sound
and high thinking and their legislative
and executive officers try to carry out
their purpose, yet their whole movement
for good may. come to naught, "because
certain Judgescertaln courts are steeped
In some outworn political or social
philosophy and totally misapprehend their
relations to the people and to the public
needs." ' v .
He continued: -
vuiirciy aware mat, no matter
how carefully I guard what I have to
say. no matter how cautiously and ex
actly.I state the bald facta and truths
that wa shall all recognise, what I say
assuredly will be misrepresented by cer
tain persons with a deliberate view of
misleading honest and conservative cltl-
sens Into the belief that I am advocat
ing something radical and revolutionary
nd destructive of our governmental sys
tem, and that I am making an attack
on the Judges. Out I feel that It is my
highest duty to speak plainly on this sub
Ject so vital to our welfare.
Illah Regard for Judiciary.
I have the very highest regard, the
highest respect and admiration for the
Judiciary. 1 believe the courU have ren
dered our people Incalculable service.
criticise the decision of Judges only by
adopting as my own the language used
about these same decisions by the high'
est Judges in the land; but, tor instance.
the present chief Justice of the United
States, Mr. Justice White, by Mr. Justice
Holmes, by that great and upright senr
ant ot tha people, the lamented Chief
Jtstlce Harlan, by the supreme court of
tha state ot Iowa and tha supreme court
of the state of Washington. 1 have never
taken a position In advance of that taken
by Abraham Llnooin.
I most emphatically believe that we
have been wise In giving great power to
our Judges, but I also most firmly believe
that like any other power this power can
be abused, and that it Is a power from
which the people have merely temporarily
parted, and not one which thty have per.
maoently alienated." .

A. 11. Mcintosh, challenged, by Hit
stati becausq of his opposition to Inflict
ing tho dnuth penalty on clrcumstantla
evidence, will bu iiueHtloned by the court
before he Is held or excused.
Oeorgn W. McKee, who says he Is firmly
convinced that tho Ioa Angeles Times
whs blown up by dynamite, v. as under In
terrogation by the court at the close of
today's session. He In not wanted b
counsel fur I he defense, who ussert that
mines H. McXamara, their client, could
not have dynamited the building and
caused tho death of Charles J. HaKgrrty,
r which he Is being tried, because the
building was blown up by gun. They,
erefore. challenged McKee, and are
waiting a ruling from Judge Mordwull.
McKee Buys he has no opinion as to the
ullt or Innocence of the defendant.
A. C. Robinson, after being challenged
because of his opposition to conviction
n circumstantial evidence, wus held by
the court, the challenge being disallowed
for the time.
Ktruaril for Indirect Bias.
T. W. Adams, Ernest K. Decker, 15. V.
Shower, Otto A. Jessen, and 11. Y. Quack-
nbush, all were excused upon challenges
for Indirect bias. This Is the closest the
state could come, undor the California
tatute to formal cha lenges because each
man suld he would not Inflict the death
penalty upon circumstantial evidence, anu
udge Bordwell's efforts to learn It this
waa their real state of mind, seemed to
oveal that It was.
"Would you obstinately persist In your
opinion In the face of all evidence to
how that It was unfounded?" the court
asked OUo Jessen, and Jessen said he
would.
You're excused," said Judge Bord-
well.
The case of Adams created lively In
terest because the examination ran much
along the lines of his socialistic beliefs.
Robinson stretched the Ingenuity of
both sides In their efforts to learp
whether he would or would not.be will
ing to Inflict the death penalty on cir
cumstantial evidence.
"First he says he will and then he
RBVa .h WJl not. no mows not, ne
blows cold. Who shall say what are
the facts?" asked Chief. Trial Deputy
. R. Horton of the court.
"The people are entitled to ' a Jury
of twelve men whd will Inflict the- death
penalty," asserted District Attorney
Fredericks, "to twelve men who will go
tho limit. This man won't."
"How Bo you know .he. wont?.". queried
the court.
'He says he won't." replied the' dis
trict attorney. ...
The court mused over the tangled rec
ord.
I'm not so sure he said that," said
the court, and he ordered that Robinson
must stay. "If I find my ruling la
wrong, I shall change It," he added.

time In his career he had sold mining
stock and told of a shock he had the
other day at the Waldorf when he caught
sight of a man ho remembered he had
once known.
"As I looked it came over me that
had sold the man IM.00O worth of Colorado
mining stock ten years ago for fu.uoo,'
suld Captain Davenny. "and tlun I had
a feeling ot guilt. I had forgotten ho
the stock had come out. I rather thought
the man must have lost his money, but I
got up all my gall and went up and
siKke. To my surprise he not only r
niembered nie, but spoke pleasantly.
" 'How about that mining stock I sold

seventh birthday, said:
"I find old age to be an enjoyable period
of life."
That Colonel Hlgglnson was happy in
old age la witnessed by the kindly humor
that Illumined all his utterances.
Thus, on his birthday, a young woman,
an admirer of his bocks, ventured to
It Is difficult to imagine a more horrible
accident than falling with an airship,
yet. In the opinion of a German psycholo
gist, Frits Kahn, death resulting from
such a fall Is not exceptionally painful.
He argues that It Is likely to be met in a
state of indifference, or even an ag te
able half-conscious condition of mind. He
witnessed the fall of Helm a year ago
a fall which lasted a number ot seconds,
as the airship fluttered to and fro like a
piece of paper before the final descent

one of the least disagreeable ways of
ending one's life. A boy of 8 who foil
twenty-two yards declared that his only

pocket knife. . At a meeting of the Swiss
Alpine club the geologist Helm described
his feelings during a fall. His first
thought was that now he would be un
able to deliver the address he had prom
ised; then he thought of tha effect on hla
family of the news of his death; he
wanted to take off his spectacles to save
his eyes from being damaged by broken
glass; various scenes from his past Ufa
flitted across his consciousness in rapid
succession. There was no fear, no pain,
but rather an agreeable state of mind
like that which is brought on by soft
music Now Tork Post.
