HIS INDUSTRY
LOOKED into
Grand Jury Probes Case Of
j. A. Walteufel, Who Took
Check From Liquor Man
ONLY FEW PAY TRIBUTE
Five Employees Out of Four
Offices Admit They Give
Political Contributions

The industry of ]. A. Walteufel, who
for six months of the year is employed
as ar internal revenue inspector and
during the other six months is employ
eu in the Assessors Office, was looked
into by Foreman Andrews of the Grand
Jury yesterday. Andrews has in his
possession check for SIS paid to
Walteufel by Nathan Levy, liquor
dealer at 66S Mission street.
Levy was called as q witness and
asked for what the check had been
paid. The witness became confused
and told conflicting stories. He first as
serted that the money was given TO
Waitenfel as a commission for selling
goods; then declared that it was paid
for some cooperage work.
Walteufel stoutly maintained that ne
was neither in the employ of the Fed
eral nor the municipal government
when the work was done Foreman
Andrews believes. from the date of the
check. that Walteufel was in the EN-
ploy of the Federal Government when
the money was paid, therefore he will
pass the matter up to the Federal
Grand Jury. The investigation showed
that the Assessors office is in no way
involved.
Foreman Andrews examined all the
clerks in the Assessors office, the
Snerl1 once, the AUDITORS once ana
the County Clerks office. with a view
TO ascertajning how many Of them paid
tribute 20 the Schmitz Central Club.

ROAD DRAGs AND DRAINAGE.

Perhaps none of the practical "gos-
pels" disseminated by the special train
apostles has been SO enthusiastically
accepted by those most Interested as
the plan of road salvation heralded by
Mr.. King. Apparently he made a
heard him speak or talked with him.
Every neighborhood has it's road drags
completed. or contemplated. Two days
after Mr.. King had been al. Gladbroon
a, pair of Vienna farmers had drags
on the road and their enthusiasm over
the results attained was beautiful to
see. The King drag seems to be the
long awaited implement cheap and
effective In keeping dirt roads not only
passable but in good condition.
But there is danger of oNer-enthus-
iusm Of the sort that centsrs on one
good thing to the neglect of others
quite as necessary. The road drag
only keeps good roads. H. does not
make, them. 1t will not build grades
thru a slough or solve the problem of
drainage; nor does it's use create new
conditions The water must be led
from the roadsides, the ponds along tha
highway drained and the Under por-.
ton Of the highway kept dry. The
drag deals with the surface 1t digs
no bitches and 1t lays no tile.
Long ago the T.-R. argued the need
OF prompt attention to the roads after
rain and the futility of piling
lnush of mud In the middle of the road
way once q year to be neglected until
the recurring spring. The best thing
about the King propaganda is not the
drag, but the awakening of the farm
ers to individual ownership and re-
sponsibility for the roads. Mr.. King
has made no new discovery Or accom-
plishet1, no new invention. every man
who has dragged stone on stoneboat
knows how the earth packs into
smooth, solid track but he has brought
u common principle into universal
practice and aroused personal interest
and performance. He has made one
mans duty Of what was everyone's
business, which In itself is pledge to
progress.
But let us not forget one main prin-
ciple OF roadmaking and keeping in our

DIR. HARpER's CURE.

Dr Harper whose certain prospect
of 5eoth from cancer was a few weeks
ago. made the subject of general news
reports and editorial comment, is quot
ed as saying that he has been cured by
the radjum treatment His ailment, mn
internal one, was diagnosed by eS-
merits as cancer and the president OF
Chicago University accepted the YER
dict of the doctors as death sentence
He went east to make last visit TO
friends and co-laborers and took UP
the ra1i,m treatment. Now the physl-
clans consider his case well under way
to complete recovery and DR.. Hamper
announces his belief that he is prac-
tically we'll.
II a certain remedy for cancer has

kind. No disease Is more agonizing or
nrotracted. To the sufferer from this
dreadful disease death comes as a
benefactor. To acquire malignant car

ity that predisposition to the disease
may be hereditary hangs like Dam

We are prone to make the most OF

Of L'r. Harper is one to inspire hope.
However. the radium treatment Is II,

dreds of widely heralded specifics hav',

case however are others where equal
~ satisfactory results are said to hay,

The methods of applying the treat.
ment are highly interesting. When the
cancer is external 1t is directly treat
ed with radium, sometimes enclosed In
glass tubes, sometimes painted in so
luton on celluloid pencils. The latter
are more powerful because glass cuts
off part of the rays. The glass tubes
seem to be used when there Is fear Of
burning sound flesh. In small cancers
the glass tubes are simply applied. A
person with cancer of the tongue kept
one lin the mouth like nurses Their
mometer an hour and half day for
two weeks. The cancer then fell off
and the wound healed.
Large cancers and tumors are treat
ed by injecting either tubes or pencils
according to conditions. A large tu-
NOR was destroyed by injecting 1t with
tubes and leaving them In forty-eight
hours at time A soft cancer on the
foot received two insertions Of radium

fell of. Cancers SO hard that the
sticks cannot be forced into them are
softensd by external application Of
radiunl Of half an hour each, after
which the celluloid stick Is Inserted
