WOULD KILL THE SUFFERING
American Humane Society, However
Turns Down the Plan.

Philadelphia. Oct. 12-AIlss Helen Hail
Of Cincinnati for hours yesterday vainly
endeavored to have the American HUI
name Association place the seal Of its in
dorsement on proposition to put an end
by the use Of anaesthetics, TO the lives Of
persons hopelessly injured or lying in
agonizing death throes from disease.
Supporting Miss Halls proposition,
which was ruled out by the chairman, Dr.
William o. stillman Of Albany on the
ground that the articles of Incorporation
Of the society confined its operations to
cases of cruelty to animals or children,
the founders Of the organizations, warmly
exclaimed:
IF 1 were in a wreck and saw cases
such as have been described and had
pistol, would certainly shoot the sufferer
to put him out of his misery"
The idea Of using anaesthetics 10 end
suffering at train wrecks has been advo-
Gated by Mrs. Ballington Booth.
DR.. Stillman vigorously combatted the
propositions and the audience. with few
exceptions, appeared to be with him.
i do not think the law Of this OF any
other country viii ever give to an in
dividual professional or otherwise, the
right to terminate life" he said. No man
is good enough to abrogate the powers Of
the Almighty. Besides, in my thirty
years experience as a physician I have
seen many apparently hopeless cases that
have ultimately recovered" The conven-
I ton decided with DR.. Sullman.

Middletown, N. y, Case No Longer
Regarded as a Mystery.

Aiiddletown. n. Y, Oct. 12.-That the
mystery Of the triple murder OF the
Olney brothers and little Alice In
gerick is solved is the opinion Of many
most prominently identified with the
case, and full particulars will probably
be made public in a few hours. This
belief is fostered by the fact that all
work on the case by those in charge
has stopped. and that not a move to-
ward gaining new evidence was made
today.
1t is stated that there has been no
attempt TO secure any statement from
Mrs Ingerick. who has regained entire
consciousness. This Is only explaina-
BILE by the belief that Mrs. Ingerick has
told all she knows.
