SUIT AGAINST SOUS
Blakely Estate Seeks to EnjOin Him
From Giving Concerts.


From Giving Concerts.
Philadelphia, April I0-A pplication for
an injunction TO restrain John Philip sousa,
the famous band leader and composer, from
giving concerts except under the manage
nIent Of the estate of thelate David blakely
was made this morning before Judge
Better, ia this city. This action grows
out of the fulfillment last night by Mr.
Sousa Of a contract he made personally
to appear with his band in the Academy
OF Music, which the managers of the es-
tate claim is in direct violation OF an
agreement he entered into four years ago
with Mr.. Blakely. Lawyers Harrity and
Beck have been engaged to conduct the
case against him.
BlaEely and Sousa signed articles to
work together for five years, the one as
manager and the other as leader of the
band. Each was to receive $4,000 wear
for services, and they were to share the
receipts. Ia November, S96, Mr. Eak-1v
died, and since then SoUsa has been appear
ing under the management OF the estate.
Last Monday Frank Christianer, who has
been doing the active work for the Blake
lys, was discharged, and Charles W. Strine
was appointed in his place. This change
was Objectionable to Sousa, and he re
fused to appear any longer under the old
conditions. He holds that the contract
really expired with the death of Blakely,
for, as he no longer had the benefit of
the mana cement the estate couldnot make
claim for it. The five-year contract would
have expired in August of this year.
n los ioJ,t hat dan ri, fr
the time he was associated with Mr..
Blakely the latter had received some
thing like $4,000 as his share Of the
profits, OF this amount about S2S, 900
was from royalties on musical compost
tions. The representatives of the Bakely
estate say they will bring suit to recover
damages from the managers of the opera
houses at Allentown a nd Bethlehem, where
Sousa appeared Thursday on his own re-
sponsibility.

HIGHEST PRAISE
AND HONOR
Given Doctor Mccoy by the Fellow Members Of
His Profession Because of the Marvellous and
Uniform Results of His Treatment for the
Cure of Deafness.

Members of the medical profession are
conservative. No new method of treatment
is accepted by them until it has been long
tried and proved TO be uniform in results
in so many cases that there can be no
question aboutits value. When Doctor Nc
Coy first announced that he had made
new discovery that restored the lost hear
ing, the doctors neither believed nor dis
believed; they waited for proof. 1t came
in such an avalanche they could not help
but believe.
They now admit tn lat to contradictthesuc-
cess of the discovery is TO come into col
lision with the facts.
Matters of fact are determined by the
testimony OF truthful witnesses, and the
matter OF fact that deaf people are having
their lost hearing restored is now as com
pletely proved as the matter of fact that
quinine will counterfeit fever or that vac
q ne will counterfeit smallpox
The doctors learned that the lost sense
OF hearing was being restored by exactly
the same means by which they learn that
miners are getting gold out or The noun
tains of California, or that divers are get
ting diamonds out of the waters OF Aus
tralia. The doctors simply accepted the
fact from the people. Neither the medl-
cal profession nor any other profession
wants to have any words with the people
or contradict a community in matters OF
common experience.
But if the medical profession were not
the first to discover the fact that the deaf
were really being cured by Doctor Mccoy,
they were the first to realize the great
ness and grandeur OF the discovery which
made that fact possible. The ablest and
most learned of his professional breth-
rem now concede to Doctor Mccoy the
most important triumph recorded since
medicine was a calling among men.

Joseph Corcoran, 1924 Half st.

CHINA WISHES TO EXHIBIT.

1t is said that China wants to send about
1000 laborers here to work az the Chinese
exposition buildings at Nashville, and in

Congress has by an act permitted the inn
poTtation of Chinese laborers for such
occasions. providing bonds are given that
the laborers will return to their native
country as soon as the exposition is over.
This law was ignored and cvaded at the
Columbian fair, and very large number
