DIVORCES AND TREE PASSES

Marty Cam Should Go to the Sur-

A recent brochure bv the
Austin, Tex.,Fob. 3.—After final-
ly passing Senator Smith’s divorce
restriction bill, amended so as to
prevent the defendant from remar-
rying within three years, whereas
the complainant may marry after
the lapse of one year, the Senate
devoted the remainder of its ses-
sion to the consideration of the free
pass bill. It cuts off all free trans-
portation, save for the owners, offi-
cers and cmplvves of the-railroans
...issuing time. Amendments to al-
low interchange as betweet rail-
roads, and to allow the issuance of
passes to the families of employes
were voted down.
Incident to the discussion, Sena-
tor Willacy informed the Senate
that he had asked all of the depart-
ments and institutions for state-
ments showing what appropriations
would be necessary to pay railroad
fare for same in the event of the
passage of this bill. Replies had
been received from only .fourteen
out of the forty-two departments,
these fourteen say that they would
need $4fi,000 for rail toad fare.
As an offset to this statement
Senator IvOAnev sprung two letters
from Railroad Commissioner Col-
quitt making elaborate statements
concerning free passes, as revealed
by reports to the commission. He
showed that during the past year
the commission and its employes
had traveled 12,073 miles in rouse
quence of the express litigation.
Had they paid railroad fare the
amount would have been taxed as

Chicago, 111., Feb. 3.—The entire !
Northwest and Middle States will

four hours longer, according to in-!
formation given out by the United 1
Weather Bureau Last nighuj.
The coldest spot in the United j

24 below. The center of the cold
wave is still in North Dakota, mov-
ing slowly southward, and it is not
expected that force will be spent in
the Middle West for several days.
By far the coldest weather of the
season prevailed here yesterday, the
temperature dropping to 44 degree*
below zero. As a result much des-
titution and suffering came to the
attention of the police and charity
organizations.
The cold played havoc with many
of the transportation lines.

roads were delayed from one to one
and a half hours.

Thought to Have Suicided,
Texarkana: William Norris,
white farmer living ten miles east
[of hereon the Cotton Belt Rail-
[road, near Genoa, was found dead
in the woods about a mile from
a violent temper and criminal pro
penalties. He was di-obedient to
his parents, and detested the disci-
pline and instruction of the school#.
He ran away from home, and when
upbraided threatened to kill his
mother and sister, lie showed ten-
dencies somewhat similar to those
that gave Jesse Pomeroy hi# unique
notoriety: but fortunately science
took hint in hand before these ten-
dencies had expressed themselves to
the same deplorable extent.
Finally he was brought bv his pa-
rents,before the juvenile court as
incorrigible. The chief probation
officer was a woman, and very likely
a mother. At any rate, she took an
interest in what seemed a desperate
and hopeless case, and had the boy
taken before an expert for examina-
tion. Investigation disclosed the
fact that when three years old he
had fallen in a trench, his head
striking some timbers, after which
he was quite ill, and was threatened
with brain fever. Following this
lead the surgeons located the old in-
jury, and trephined the skull at that
point, disclosing a fracture and
brain depression, with chronic in-
flammation of the brain covering.
The pressure was removed and the
brain restored to its normal condi-
tion. since which time the subject
has shown an entirely different dis-
position. He has become kind and
obedient und anxious to make up for
the opportunities he had previously
thrown away.
A couple of years ago Dr. Lorenz
created an agreeable sensation in
this country by his skill in the
straightening out deformed limits
among children: but how much
greater would be the social benefit
if deformed brain# could be set
right. We do not look for the time
when science can make a wise man
out of a congenital idiot, but there
may be many Vase# in which acci-
dent iuts had a share for which sci-
ence open# up a way of salvation.
In fact, the doctor who opeintcd
upon the Indianapolis boy claims
that deformity of. the skull should
he corrected by artificial means soon
after the child is born. "The skull
can be shaped with safety any time
within ten days after birth.-'
There may he belated and unin-
tentional recognition here of the
claims upon which phrenology is
based. There are cases of crime in
which it might be more just and
more humane to turn the offender
over to the expert surgeon than to
the executioner. The last hanging
in Connecticut, we believe, was of a
boy eighteen year# old, who had
committed a murder for no reason
that he could gi^e or any one else
imagine. Yet along the line of his
ancestry, for two generations at
least, cpilpsy and habitual drunken-
ness were the distinguishing charac-
teristics and he had manifested
merely hereditary traits; but the
law had made no provision for
those, and he was hanged all the
same. Probably the Indianapolis
boy would sooner or later have
come to a similar end had he missed
the good fortune to attract the at-
tention of those with more advanc-
ed ideas and livelier sympathies
than the common. The suggestion
opens up a great field for science,
philanthropy, and humanity.
