X.RAYS REDUCE CANCER
IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT OF DRS.
c. f. WRIGHT AND j. III. OLIVER.
Twenty-Seven Applications to Large
Growth on Patients Face Make
1t ID

The Roentgen rays have been used sue
cessfully by Drs. G. Z. Wright and John
H.. Oliver in treating a cancer. The patient
is Thomas Maher, sixty-four years old He
was taken from one of the Catholic insti-
tutions to the City Hospital on Feb. 2. The
cancer was under his left eye. 1t was two
inches long, one and a half inches wide
and rose a half inch from the face. 1t was
an entirely superficial growth, and the
physicians satisfied themselves that it was
cancerOus by the use of the microscope.
Twenty-seven applications of the X-rays
have been made and the cancer has dried
up and sloughed away until the face is
smooth. Its mark is there, but the cancer
has gone. we do not know that it will not
return" said DR.. Wright last evening, but
Maher is a well man now. This is an en-
tirely new field and we feel greatly en-
cOuraged by our success" The case is to
be reported in the Indiana Medical Journal
The exposures in treating Maher varied
from ten to fifteen minutes. The discharge
stopped after a few treatments and NIaher
said he felt no pain and suffered no in

Was of drawing around the cancerOus
growth. The cancer had a hard base. but
the flesh on which it stood is now soft and

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
DIR. :. II. GRUBBs Is ON HIS WAY TO
SHIP ISLAND.
He VIII Look After F~ever-Infected
Boats for the GOvernment-Other
Hotel Visitors.

Dr. S. 3. Grubbs, a surgeon in the United
States Marine Hospital Service. is on his
way TO Ship island. in the Gulf Of Mexico.
10 spend the summer looking after fever
infected boats that happen TO come that
way. Ship island is about forty miles from
New Orleans and is about ten miles from
shore. 1t is on this island that the gov
eminent maintains an important quaran-
tine station. Yellow fever is the chief mall
ady with which the surgeons on the island
have to deal Or. Grubbs is a son of ex-
Mayor Grubbs. formerly of this city. and
the young man was raised in indianapolis.
He saw considerable quarantine service
during the spanish-American war. He will
be in charge Of the work at Ship island.
The quarantine season on the island opens
May 1 and closes Nov. 1. From the time
the season opens until the close the men in
the government service on the standard
there are no others there-do not usually
leave the place. Il suppose that when 1

said the doctor yesterday. Il will be there
until Nov. 1. 1t Is not customary for the
quarantine officers to come on shore during
the season" DIR. Grubbs says this is large
" due to the people along the coast who
AA@N "a = ~ kAA0 y 1900
an officer from the quarantine station come
among them there would likely be a reign
OF terror. Consequently, out of respect for
this feeling the officers remain away DIR.
Grubbs will have two assistants and there
is a crew of about fifteen men to assist in
the work. All boats coming that way are
stopped and inspected. and if they com
from a suspected port they are held up"
for five days. The government has made
no exception in the case OF Cuba this year.
Boats arriving from Cuban shores up to
the first of June will be inspected, but un-
less something radically wrong is found
they will be allowed to pass into port.
After June 1. however, boats from Cuba
will be subjected to the general rules. The
exception is made, DIR. Grubbs says, be-
cause Of the excellent sanitary conditions
that now exist in Cuba
1T has been proved that yellow fever is
transmitted by MOSQUITOES" said DR..
Grubbs. This has been the theory OF a
Cuban physician named Findlay, and the
Investigations made by the United States
governments Cuba have proved this theory
beyond a doubt. The next thing to be done
IS To find what other sources transmit the
fever. The precautions the government is
taking IN this matter in Cuba now is a
great preventive. Houses and premises
are inspected and wherever a tank or tub
or can Of water is found without a cover
in the way of mosquito netting it is either
removed or covered. II is a ~well-knOwn
fact that mosquitoes haunt the water" DR..
Grubbs says the particular form of mos
quito that is believed to transmit yellow
fever is called the stegOmyia fasciata.

MARTIN WAS AGGRIEVED
HIS WIFE, II WAS SAID, MADE 600
GOO EYES" AT MICHAEL SPEARS.
He Tied n Stone in n Handkerchief
and FeIIed Spears with One
Hearty Blow.

Michael Spears, a butcher employed by
w. Beck, on East Washington street, was
assaulted by Christ. Martin last night at
the corner of Delaware and Court streets.
Spears's nose was broken. He also had
several wounds on the forehead and face.
He walked to the City Dispensary, where
his injuries were dressed by DR.. Goodwin.
The bicycle police saw Spears walking
to the Dispensary, covered with blood, and
asked him by whom he had been injured.
Spears said that Martin had assaulted him.
He told them to go to KeIler's saloon, on
East Washington street, and they might
get him.. Detectives Kinney and Lancaster
went around on Washington street. while
Bicycle Policemen Griffin and Hull made a
trip to the rear of the saloon. The detec-
tives found Martin in the front of the
saloon. talking with his wife and a man
named French.
Martin was taken to the police station
and questioned about the affair. He said
the reason he assaulted Spears was that
the latter was paying too much attention to
Mrs. Martin. He said he had heard from
people who lived near Beck's butcher shop
that Mrs. Martin made frequent trips to
the shop and often talked with Spears. He
said a man came to him Yesterday morn
ing and said he had seen Mrs. Martin walk
ing past the butcher shop and making
'goo-goo eyes" at Spears. Martin said this
angered him and he resolved to get even
with Spears. After quitting work in the
afternoon, he says. he went TO the butcher
shop and called on Spears. He said he
tried 10 appear friendly. He invited Spears
out that the might have a few drinks.
He said il was his intention to get Spears
drunk and then kick his head off" On
their way down town they stopped at sew
eral saloons, Martin said, where they drank
beer. After leaving a saloon on Washing
ton street, and while Spears was in d talk
ative mood. he mentioned the stories about
Spears and Mrs. Martin. He said Spears
told him that he loved Mrs. Martin and
was willing to take her and the two chill
dren of Martins hands if the latter was
willing. Martin said this last remark
proved too strong for him. and he then
pulled from his pocket a large stone. which
he had wrapped in a handkerchief. and
struck Spears in the face. Spears fell, he
said. and he then began to kick him.
Mrs. Martin. when her husband was ar
rested, accompanied him to the police sta
ton. She said she had been here a year.
She said her husband was intensely jealous
of her when he was drinking and would
often beat her. She has been married TO
him nineteen years. Martin was locked up
on a charge of assault and battery. He
tried TO get bond, but Mrs. Martin said if
he were TO get out he would go home and
kill her. Captain Hyland, after hearing
Mrs. Martins story, enlarged the charge
against Martin and raised his bond. The
Martins live at 3451z Massachusetts avenue.
Spears rooms at Smiths Hotel, on East
Washington street.

UNIQUE BUSINESS DEAL.
A Valuable Piano "Swapped" for
Gold Filings i'm Couples Teeth.

An exchange of dental service for a piano
terminated in a suit yesterday to declare
the deal squared and the litigation will
give Col. Russell B. Harrison an opportu-
nifty TO show his fighting qualities i'm the
county courts. He filed the suit for Will
liam A. HeCkard against Oliver w. Will
Iiams and William J. richards to cancel
four notes Heckard gave for a piano when
Williams was at the head of the O. w. Will
liams Company, piano dealers. Williams
made an assignment in favor of Richards
and the notes were turned over TO him.
Heckard bought a piano for $3.50, executing
four notes of so each. Williams and his
wife wanted some dental work done and
the complainant says an agreement was
made with Heckard so that the ~latter's bill
would be considered payment Of the notes.
The complaint sets out that last July Will
liams had s43 worth of gold filling done, and
from Aug. 8, 1901. to Feb. Il, 1902, Heckard
did work on Mrs. Williams's teeth and put
gold in them to the amount of $237. Heck
ard says that his bill exceeds the value of
the notes, and, therefore, he owes Williams
nothing. He says payment was not asked
for the last note and he supposed the mat
ter was settled until the notes were as
signed TO Richards.

Indiana National Bank Friday afternoon
trying 10 change a $50 gold certificate that
he had stolen from Mast q Class's place
on Massachusetts avenue, was arraigned
yesterday in Police Court. His case was
continued until next Friday. 1t was the
supposition of the police and detective de-
partments that Johnson had been engaged
in other affairs of a like nature, and they
desired that his case be continued. After
he was measured in the Bertillon room
Clerk Eddie McGuff was filing away the
measurements when he was struck with
the similarity to another recently received.
He pulled out the card and found the two
cards to correspond. The man gave his
name as Johnson when arrested. His real
name is Edward O'Brien. alias Kid"

Correction i'm Milwaukee March 3. There
was a reward of $50 for his capture. The

clerks were not looking. While the de-
~tectives had hold of him he tried to es-
cape.

Parks NJ Martin, another member of the

SCISSORS got together and discussed their
work. After the county meetings were con-
cluded district meetings were held, and
these were attended by county assessors.
They compared notes, and by this means
A. was ascertained whether or not the
township assessors had carried out their
instructions.
The reports of the county assessors
were very satisfactory" said Mr.. Wingate
last night, and l feel sure we will have
the best assessment of personal property
this year the State has ever had. One rea-
son is that the assessors have gone about
their work with more enthusiasm. As a
result of these meetings they understand
the work better. and hence are ambitious to
do good work. Another reason is that
people are prosperous. They have money
with which to pay their taxes. and they
will cheerfully list their property. / think
isfactOry TO the people of the State than
ever before. l think there will be few
complaints of unequal assessments. A few
years ago there were unequal assessments
across county lines. and there was a con-
tinual complaint. Our tax law, which is
conceded to be the best on the statute
books. is continually proving itself as ii is
being worked out"

TIME To SECURE WORK.
Judge Affords New Plan tn Cure Cases
of Wife Dcsertion.

Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court, yes
terday took a step that it is believed will
prove satisfactory in cases of wife deser-
ton. Henry Steinecker was arrested and
fined in Police Court on a charge of wife
desertion. He appealed to the Criminal
Court. His wife said he had left her and
failed To provide for his children. Judge
Afford thought it would not mend matters
to send him TO Jail or impose a fine. so he
gave Steincker thirty days TO find work and
provide for his children, while he took the
case under "advisement." This places
Steincker in a position where he will have
TO do something and show results.

Took Advantage of n Swimming
Party in the River.

About s o'clock last evening Bicycle Po-

the Michigan-street bridge over White
river. where it was said a riot was going
on among one hundred boys. When the
police arrived they found six boys who
had been in swimming under the bridge.
They told the policemen that after they
had taken of their clothing and entered the
water there arose behind the e~mbankment
on the other side of the river an army of
boys from Haughville. These boys. they
said. were armed with stones. which they
threw at them in the water. The boys who
were in the water said they hurried 10 the
bank 10 escape the storm OF stones. After
they dressed they also threw stones at the
opposing side. One of the Haughville boys
was hurt, but his name could not be
