Count Zeppelin's Body is Removed to Stuttgart for Burial Berlin, March 10. (Via London.) t-The Berlin press is filled with re views of the life and achievements of Count Zeppelin, who shared with Field Marshal von Uindenburg the honor of national popularity. Count Zeppelin's fame, however, was estab lished when the held marshal was practically an unknown quantity and Berlin today recalls the time not long gone by when airship rides from Dusseldorf to Berlin by way of Ham burg and Bremen were luxurious thrills to be enjoyed at 200 marks a head. The obituary notices recall the de votion to the realization of his dream, which was not only manifested in matchless perseverance, but only in the sacrifice of his private fortune. The papers recall the emperor's tri bute to the count on his seventy-fifth birthday, when he termed him "the greatest man of the twentieth cen tury." It is also recalled that at the time' of the American civil war Count Zep pelin, then 25 years of age, shipped on a French corvette lying in New York harbor with the purpose of reaching the northern lines by way of Baltimore. Count Zeppelin was ill for less than two weeks and the immediate cause of his death was pneumonia. His death shroud is his favorite Uhlan uniform, in which he was best known to the public Of the long list of orders and decorations which were -conferred on him he was probably proudest of the Iron Cross, which he won in 1870. The massive oak and metal casket in which he will be buried was sealed this afternoon and taken to Stuttgart, where the funeral will take place. Trade Commission Thinks Publishers Must Be Cautious Washington, March 10. News print paper price arbitration undertaken by the Federal Trade commission will succeed,, in the opinion of the com mission only if publishers practice the closest economy in the use of paper. Blank agreement forms sent to pub lishers throughout the country today inform them that to benefit by the price fixing plan they must not only consent to relinquish 5 per cent of their paper requirements, but must agree to discontinue return privileges and must buy additional paper only to meet the most urgent needs. The commission expects to go ahead with its plans as soon as enough publishers come into the arrangement to make it practicable. The price fixing proposal, as advanc ed by manufacturers, will be operative for sue months. The com mission has set a price of $2.50, but in its notice to publishers says this price will be tried first for three months and then if found too low, will be readjusted. To insure that small publishers get paper, the commission is working on a plan under which manufacturers will sell to them first the paper re leased by large publishers.

SOUTHEN PACIFIC WINS CENTRAL CASE Court of Appeals Eules It Need Not Sell Control of Line from Ogden to 'Frisco, JUDGE CAE LAND DISSENTS New York, March 10. The South Pacific company announced here to day receipt of advices that the United States circuit court of appeals at Salt Lake City had rendered a de cision in favor of the Southern Pa cific in the suit of the government to compel the company to sell its con trol of the Central Pacific railway. The opinion in the case was writ ten by Judge Hook, it was said, Judge Sanborn concurring and Judge Car land dissenting. The suit was brought in February, 1914, the government alleging that the operation of the two roads under the same management resulted in a violation of the Sherman law and of what is known as the Pacific railroad law passed by congress in 1862, de signed to provide continuous con nected lines from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast with equal ad vantage to all other roads. "Conditions complained of by the government had been in existence for over thirty years," said J. P. Blair, general counsel of the Southern Pa cific, in commenting upon the deci sion. "The communities which would have been injured if a violation of Sherman law was involved had never complained and testified that" they were perfectly satisfied, and "the Un ion Pacific, which would have been agrieved if there should have been a violation of the Pacific railroad act, had never complained and was per fectly satisfied.

Tracy, who is alleged to have been one of the lead ers of the expedition and who is charged specifically with the murder of Deputy Sheriff Jefferson Beard, one of the posse. As the boat neared the dock men in the bow were singing and shouting. When it drew alongside, McRae, the witness said, shouted: "Who is your leader, boys?" Several men replied loudly: "We are all leaders by G I" The manner of the men Shaw as serted, was belligerent. The sheriff told them that their coming was un lawful and that they could not land. "The h we can't I" came in a chorus from the boat, said the witness. Children Play Truant to Play in Moving Pictures New York, March 10.

HEALTH TALKS (By Dr. Burhorn.) Chiropractic '(pronounced Ki-ro-prak-tik), from the Greek word Kiro, signifying hand, and Prak tik, meaning practice, is the science of locating the cause of disease and the art of removing same by adjusting the spinal ver tebrae, which relieves pressure on the impinged nerve. Chiropractic means adjusting by hand and nothing more. The human body in normal con dition is a perfect machine. As long as each part maintains a proper relation to every other part and is supplied with abundant nerve power, the result of its ac tivities cannot be other than that of health. In the face of criticism, inter ference and opposition, it is over coming all obstacles because it is right. If it had o merit it oould not survive, and being right it of fers to all the apportunity to in vestigate its cWms and study its works and metfcoda. The sick are not greatly inter ested in theorisj, but in anything that will mak them well a little inquiry will undoubtedly show that the good results claimed for Chiropractic adjustments can be accomplished in ninety-five per cent of human ailments without the assistance of any means ex cept the Chiropractor's bare hands. Consultation is free. Adjust ments, $1.00. DR. BURHORN (Palmer School Graduate) Sulu 4I4-4IS Rom Bid. Cr. lath And Fanum SU. Phona Duf . 347.
