DUTY OF THE DOCTORS
SHOULD AID IN Solving PROBLEM
OF SOCIAL EVIL.
seThe Strenuous Life- spd Its Serious
Effect Upon the Human system
In Discussed at Atlantic
City.

Atlantic City. N. j., June s.-Before
the section Of hygiene and sanitary
science of the American Medical As
ISOLATION today, DIR. Howard A. Kelly.
of Baltimore. read a paper on the NOR
al obligation of the medical profession
to solve the problem of social evil.
The strenuous life" and its serious
effect upon the human system was dis
cussed at length by the members Of
the section of the practice of medicine.
1t was in the nature of symposium on
O reteriosclerosis, an incurable disease
resulting principally from overwork.
The disease Is a stiftening and deter
ioration Of the arteries. causing them
to age prematurely and frequently af-
fecting the heart.
The subject was presented that DIR.
James NJ. Anders. of Philadelphia, who
stated that the lack of physical exer-
else and mental and physical strain
laid the foundation of the disease. He
laid particular stress on the fact that
a large number of athletes were VIC
Tins of the ailment and that the ar
teries of many young men are as de-
orcpit as those OF person seventy
years of age. 1t IL the duty of the
medical profession, DIR. Anders said, to
warn parents and those In charge Of
educational Institutions where athletic
sports are permitted, OF the serious re-
suits that might follow the playing OF
foot ball and other tests of strength.
During the session of nervous and
mental diseases, DR.. w. J. Herman. Of
Ann Arbor, Michigan, read an interest
ing paper on the present campaign
against insanity.
He said in part: There Is a gen.
eral awakening to the necessity of a
vigorous campaign against the causes
leading to such diseases. Everywhere
1t is beginning to be recognized that
the study must be a clinical one; that
insane men must be brought into con-
junction with the means of investigat-
ing his condition from every point of
view
Address which attracted much
attention was that delivered by DR.. A.
Meitland Ramsey. of Glasgow. Scot
land, before the section of opthalmol-
ogy on the Importance Of general the
rapeutics in the management Of ocular
affections.
DR.. L. C. Kline, of Philadelphia, COM
menting on the paper. says the ten
dency today is TO treat disease too
much surgically and too little medici-
nally.
1--WE have been living in an age of
operation" said DR.. Kline. ''and we
have lost sight. In a measure, of less
violent methods"
Dr. Edward F. Brush, of Mt. Vernon,
N. Y. in an address on how to pro-
cure pure milk before the section on
diseases Of children, said 1t was easier
to control cows than women and NAT
attention should be paid to the breed
ing of cows.

Police Knock Down the Doors of Her
Palatial Residence with Axes
Long Delay Over Her
Toilet.

New York, June S.-Hannah Elias.
the octoroon charged by John r. Plat
with having procured from him, by
Matchmaking methods, nearly $500, 900,
passed the night in the Mercer Street
police station. She was taken from
her palatial residence in Cntral Park,
West, where the doors were knocked
down with axes. to police headquarters
In a carriage. She delayed so long at
home arranging her toilet that the
latter place was not reached until 2
o'clock. After having given her
namo. age, etc, she was taken to Mer-
Ger Street for the night.
Efforts to serve a warrant on Mrs
Elias in a civil suit had kept a crowd
about her house for week and when
the detectives attacked the doors with
axes in order to serve a warrant in a
criminal action, which Mr.. Plat finally
had been prevailed upon to bring
there was a large audience. As Mrs.
Elias left the house leaning heavily
upon the arms of the detectives, she
had to pass between solid rows of GU
rious persons, while street cars. car
riages and automobiles were lined up
in order that their passengers might
view the outcome of the strange scene
which has been on for days. Mrs.
arrest.
The specific charge on which tho
warrant was based is the alleged ex-
tortion from Mr.. Plat of $500 in May
last.
Mrs. Elias was today held in 5000
bail for examination next Friday.
Bail was not furnished and she was
committed to the Tombs prison.
When the prisoner was taken from
her cell to a cab in which she was
taken to the court, she was met by a
jeering crowd which filled the street
around the police station. The woman
accompanied by two detectives, enter
ed the carriage and the start for the
court was made Just as the cab
started, however. light express wag-
on drove directly IN the path and the
crowd closed in, many men climbing
onto the wheels to peep into the We
hicle. Mrs. Elias appeared much
frightened, but 1t developed that the
crowd was more curious than threat
eninE. Assisted by several patrolmen.
the detectives succeeded in clearing a
passage and the carriage continued to
court.

DISREGARD FOR LIFE.
GRAND JURY MAKES
INTERESTING REPORT.


Birmingham, June s.--(speciaL 1.-The
report of the grand. jury OF the Grim
inal Court of Jefferson County, which
adjourned today is an exceptionally
vigorous document. The most signifi-
cant portion OF the report is contained
in the paragraphs referring TO the APP
palling disregard for human life In this
county, and urging the peace oficers Of
the county to cooperate with the peo-
pie at large and future grand juries In
forcing from the public service many
of those who now disgrace II"
Among other things in the report the
following paragraph Is quite sensa-
tional: "One of the most appalling
examples of the possibilities of max
persecution and oppression comes to US
from the community Of Brookside. God
help the defenseless and the ignorant
when the officers Of the law there get
them In their clutches. All who spoke
OF the conditions there did so either
with contempt or with fear and tremb-
ling Indictments are pending against
practically all of the guilty ones there,
and we urge atvigorous prosecution.
The report shows that i.1oo witnesses
were examined, 365 cases investigated
and 22o true bills returned. A great
err variety OF food is suggested for the
county Jail and more abundant sup
ply of It, also.
The following paragraph is In the
report: The jury feel that they will
not have done their duty. did they not
again call attention of the court and
the people to the appalling disregard
for human life in Jefferson County.
Much of the thine of the jury has been
taken UP with investigation Of this
crime. We find an army of men In the
county commissioned as peace officers
and too many of them parading the
county walking arsenals. Something
should be done to curtail this indiscrinl-
mate licensing to commit murder. We
realize that with its large floating
population. many being ex-convicts re-
leased from Pratt City and Flat Top,
that to preserve order in Jefferson
County requiresga large force OF cool,
courageous men. We find that many
of the sheriff's deputies, constables and
police officers are deserving of che
highest praise. and the purpose Of this
paragraph is to urge that a majority
OF the peace officers Of the county to
cooperate with the people at large and
future grand juries and force from the
public service many of those who now
disgrace 1t. A man who Is entrusted
with the power and authority to en-
force the law should in every sense be
respector of the law"

the effect that he (Brewer) was sick
and could not make the journey to
Birmingham. The court decided. how
ever. to declare that bond forfeited.
Brewer. as will be readily recalled,
was a witness for the defense in the
preliminary trial of Roland Shugart,
charged with the murder of Andrew
Bonholzer last fall.
Brewer testified that he was an eye
witness of the affair, but the State in
troduced witnesses who swore they
saw Brewer in the city of Montgomery
on the night of the occurrence.
The several sensational developments
In connection with this matter of the
whereabouts OF the witness on that
night are yet fresh In the minds Of the
public.
On the sth of April the Grand Jury
returned true bill for perjury against
Brewer. His bond was fixed at $500.
and was signed by Dorian Hall. of
Lowndes county. John T. shugart and
Mrs, A. d. Shugart. He was thereupon
released.
The case Of George T. Howell, who
was indicted at the same time for per-
jury. 1t being charged that he had
sworn falsely to the whereabouts of
Brewer on the night in question, and
released on bond in the same amount,
was called Immediately after the for
fixture Of Brewers bond. and 1t was
continued.

New York, June s.-Friends of the
Misses Bondy of New York have re-
ceived from Vienna news that the
young women are in a medical institu-
ton in that city. having been taken
there for observation and treatment
while Iahoring under great excitement
or hysteria. says a Herald dispatch
from Paris. The story Of their afiiic-
ton is a strange one.
six months ago the three young sis
tiers. who are between the ages of 20
and 30. left New York for Europe I'M
attended for a trip to the Holy Land.
A month ago they reached CONSTANT
NOBLE. Then they met a party OF Amer
leans who obtained for the young la
dies a reliable courier to escort them
to- Ravre. where they proposed en-
barking on their return voyage. They
were evidently in a nervous condition
and told stories of an attempt made to
kidnap them near the pyramids and of
their having been pursued across Gal
lice by a bandit Sheik.
On the arrival of the sisters in Wen
ma their nervousness became more
marked. They evaded the courier and
moved from the hotel, declaring that
their lives were in danger Finally
they called upon the police for protec-
ton and were turned over to the Uni
ted States consul. who is having them
cared for pending the arrival of rela-
tives.

bookmaker and turfman. Mrs. Patter-
son was remanded to the Tombs prison.
where she has been confined since
Young was shot
Nominally, she is held as witness
under IS, 900 bail, but District Attorney
Jerome has intended that in case OF
her release. either by bail or by any
other means. she will be Immediately
rearrested. The case took a new turn
today when Algernon Meyer Of Jack
sonviIle, Fla. publicly announced that
he was a witness to the killing OF
Young. and stated that Young himself
held the revolver that fired the fatal
shot. His first story was told to the
representative of newspaper, but
later in the day Meyer went to the dis
trIct attorneys office and was subject
ed to an extended examination. His
statement was taken In full by an Of
