JUDGE GOES TOO .STRONG Man Gels New Trial Because of Court's Instructions. ST. LOCIS. Oct. 30. Because of re marks made to a jury by Judge Smith McPherson. of the I'nited States District Court at Kansas City, the United States Court of Appeals in St. Louis today re versed and remanded the case of John F. Rudd. who had been fined $500 and sen tenced to 11 months in Jail on a charge of conducting a scheme to defraud. Rudd was accused of using the mails In an effort to sell a patent pump, oper ated by a pendulum and a spring lever. The records showed that after the e-I-dence was submitted. Judge McPherson laid to the'Jury: "No man with the slightest degree of Intelligence above insanity would say that this pump is practical. Any school boy would know better. This man Is cither guilty of a criminal act or he U in idiot, insane and foolish. The de fendent claims to believe in his machine. If he does, he Is crazy. If he does not, be is guilty." The decision of the Court of Appeals, written by Judge Hook, says: "It is the province of a court to com ment on facts and evidence, but his com ments should be dispassionate and guard ed In order that the Jurors may be left free to exercise their Independent judg ment."

Any instrument can be purchased on small monthly payments if desired. Each instrument sold will be accompanied by our famous "Money Back" guar antee.

The Architectural Association is ex pectins much assistance from the "Know Your City-' Institute with re gard to Its plans for devising some ade quate supervision and somo adequate planning of the city's growth. Its president. E. F. Lawrence, is to preside on the day given by the institute to city plans. He says: "All over the Unlteri States civip re vivals are being held, and swinging Into line one city follows another in the great movement for the city beautiful. The last of mese revivals was held in Kort Wayne, where the slogan was adopted, amidst great enthusiasm, 'Fort Wayne with Might and Main ne for All, and All for One.' "Grand. Rapids. Detroit. Springfield and Oakland are all by the initial -stage and are perfecting their plans fo.r the future. Columbus, Atlantic City and Toledo have preliminary committees at work on the subject. Harrisburg has already carried out great improve ments In Its waterfront. St. Paul has its Municipal Art society, ana is worn ing to a. splendid improvement In the neighborhood -of the beautiful Capitol. New Haven has the younger Olmstead and Cass Gilbert, president of the American Institute of Architects, in charge of its civic center.plans. Hart ford has a similar commission. "Chicago has Just issued the report of the three years of labor of Burnham and Stevens, and has already legislated tor the expenditure of millions for the attainment of the plan. St. Louis has authorized a bond !ss.ue of 11,000,000 for civic Improvement. Cleveland has secured available land and several buildings for;a most beautiful civic center, worked out pnder the direction of John Carrere, Arnold Brunner and Daniel Burnham. "Columbus has a splendid commission, made up of five nren of National reputa tion. Denver has its MacMonnles civic center to strive for, under the able di rection of Henry Ttead. the head f Its Art Commission. San Francisco has Its wonderful Burnham plan for future in spiration. . Baltimore and Grand Rapids have retained John Carrere and Arnold Brunner. Washington, the Capitaf City, has the most glorious plan of all the work of L'Enfant, the young French engineer and friend of JetTerson and pf Washington. The safeguarding of this has been in the past in the hands of a commission made up of Daniel Burn ham. the late St. Gaudens and Olm stead. "Boston sets. the date 1915 to accom plish its great parkvfiiy and other Im provements. Los Angeles has also adopted a 1915 programme. "Portland, with Its splendid opportu nities for such civic Improvements, is ready to art. The Portland Architec tural Club has been working steadily on the question for the past year under its committee on civic improvements. . . - T . Tsnnnl. T 1 comprising n. jvi. iazai u uwoc cobberger and E.F. Lawrence. This committee secured the acceptance by the charter-revision committee . of .a provi sion establishing an art and building commission, made up of representatives from the Art Association, the Library Association, the Architectural Club, the Taxpayer' League, the Woman's Club and the Council. This measure was. un fortunately, lost before the voters when the charter was defeated. - "The committee has corresponded with the United States Senators, urging that nothing definite be done as to lo cating the new Federal buildings until a definite civic plan has been worked out. It is gratifying to hear that' Sen ator Bourne has started a campaign to raise funds to bring an expert here to study the problem and teport. This movement should be backed strongly by a Civic Improvement League, which might well be organized during the ses sion of the Civic Institute to be held in November. - and which might include in its executive council representatives from all art, educational and municipal societies. "The meeting of November 10 on city plans is a splendid opportunity, to launch this movement, and the Archi tectural Club believes no more lasting good will come of Miss Strong's excel lent work for the Civic Institute than what should result from a thorough dis cussion of this subject."

Oct. 30. (Special.) James A. Wailis. state pure food, and dairy inspector, has spent the past week in this city making a general and thor ough inspection of sanitary and food conditions in an endeavor to locate the cause of the present typhoid fever epi demic. The inspector found conditions here very bad. The septic tank used by the city for the disposal of sewage was con demned, gases and germs from it be ings detected in the atmosphere two mlies from the tank. The manner of handling the street sweepings was also objected to by the commissioner. The slaughter-houses used by the local, meat markets were also found to be in a very unsanitary shape and were condemned. The conditions at these places were little less than crimi nal, meat being left to cool In a room foul with the odor from hog pens, scalding tanks, curing hides. The milk supply of the city was shut off as soon as the inspector had paid a visit to the dairies and ranches fur nishing the city with milk. The con ditions at these places were very un sanitary and not a single place visited complied with the pure food law in any respect. ' Inspector Wallis claims that the im pure milk alone could easily be respon sible for the fifty cases of typhoid now in the city. The milk dealers will all have to comply with the, law before they will be allowed to sell Yiny more milk. Groceries, restaurants, meat mar kets ar.d bakeries were all given gen eral clean-up orders and informed that they must get rid of the flies. State Chemist C. D. Mason, who ac companied the Inspector, is busy in his labratory at Boise testing the city water and a collection of meats, but ter, lard, etc., which he gathered here, in an endeavor to find typhoid germs.
