Woman They Have Treated

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, April 29.--One cancer cure
by radium at the Hospital for Diseases
of the Skin. Blackfriars, London, is "a
tested to the satisfaction of the medical
profession. A woman suffering from Il
fully diagnosed cancer of the left
breast was placed under radium treat
ment in March. 1904. The applications
varied from fifteen to twenty minutes
in two periods and ten miligrammes of
radium were used. After six sitttngs
the patient declared she had had the
first good nights rest for years. and
fro mthat time the improvement has
been continuous.
The patient was exhibited during the
progress of the cure several times at

NEW YORK. April eff President

Mr. Monaghan Is a man after the

He is building two more houses for

The new houses will be at one Hundred

SUFFERING Wins Sympathy
This Is what the remarkable landlord,
who is also a clerk in the Second Dis
trict court. says of his unusual course:
ut may be a queer thing for land
lord to invite families with children
into his houses, but that's what | am
doing. Why, | have seen so much suf-
fering from this inhuman prohibition
against children in apartments that [
think il is time for some one to take
a hand in the matter
II have three houses that are all
filled with children, and l am putting
up two more. 1t is my desire and in
tention to own eighteen apartment

elusive use of families with children.

would | do if the landlord chased my
family from pillar to post as though
we were infected creatures? l suppose
other landlords will say | am eccentric.
1t isn't eccentricity, it is humanity.
Many Turned Into Street
"Since | have been at the court
have seen many pathetic instances of
the apartment-house crusade against
children. Landlords take advantage of
the five days notice law and put fam
lilies with children out into the street
merely because some tenant has com
planned.

Home Building Record
AS stupendous as the information is
regarding the building record for April,
the fact that 576 separate residences,
embracing one story, one and one-half
story and two-story homes were erect
ed during the month stands out as a
distinctive feature. The cost of these
home spots aggregated $S15.2S9, and is
only Indicative of the wonderful eX-
pansion of Los Angeles.
Rightly to comprehend this factor
of growth it must be understood that
hundreds of towns in the United States
boasting large populations and sepa-
rate municipal governments, contain
scarcely as many buildings as equal
the number of homes erected in Los
Angeles in the past month. In other

The Educational MIDDLE

Inc GQuC0LlO06l
In reply to q telegram from the
president Of the Board of Regents
to Prof. Akely who refused to ac-
cept the presidency of the Vermill-
ion University, the board was ad-
vised to reinstate Prof. Droppers.
This the board did at once, with
the understanding, that his term is
to last only until June 80, the end OF
the school year. The Boards objec.
tions to President Droppers are
founded upon criticisms of the gen.
tleman's religious and economical
views and convictions. The Board
believes these things tend to inter-
fere with his work as an educator.
The facts concerning the charges
against DR.. Chalmers, who resigned
the presidency of the Brookings col
lege by request of the Board are
substantially as follows:
In November, certain rumors
reached the ears of the board OF re-
gents with respect to DIR. Chalmers.
An investigation was at once set on
foot by DR.. Spatford. Judge BURT
and Mr.. Goodner. 1t was found that
DR.. Chalmers obtained entrance to
the University of Michigan under
false representations concerning
his work as a student at Oberlin:
that he had lost his position at
Platteyille, Wis. because of disre-
garding the regulations of the re-
gents, and the law of the state con
corning the conduct of the institu-
ton and because he was taking the
affairs of the institution into poll
tics; that at Columbus, o., it was
discovered he had written a letter
to the governing board in which
three false statements had been
made concerning offers of positions
at increased salaries from the uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, the uni,
yersity Of Ind.,ra and the univer-
sity of Edinburgh, Scotland. II
was learned that none of these in,
stitutions had made him any offer,
that, in fact, DIR. Chalmers was not
known at any of them, and that Of
Edinburgh there was no such chair
as DR.. Chalmers claimed had been
offered him.
It was further discovered thai
much of the evidence against DR.
Chalmers was in possession of GER
tain parties IN South Dakota who
proposed to publish it as soon as
DIR. Chalmers should take the place
as president Of the state university
This left nothing for the board o
regents to do except to cancel DR.
chalmers election to the presidency
at Vermillion. President Chalmer!
was given o chance to defend him
self against these charges, but it j.
declared that he admitted them 81
far as Ann Arbor and Columbus
we're concerned, but attributed hi
removal at Platteville to politics
He frankly admitted that it woult
not be possible for him to ASSUME
the presidency of Vermillion unde
such circumstances and so he re
signed, and the resignation was &C
eepted.
