NEW YORK LIFE
POLICYHOLDER SUES

CINCINNATI, O., April f0.--As a re-
suit of the recent insurance develop
n7ents, three suits of an unusual char
acter We're filed here today by David
Baumgart against the New York Life
Insurance Company. The suits are all
for the recovery of premiums paid on
lapsed policies. The basic allegation is
fraud upon policyholders, and carries
the various allegations that the Off
GERS of the company paid excessive
salaries, sqandered large sums of the
poiicyholders' money in Illegal ex-
penses, rebates, briberies, contribu-
tons to political campaigns, and that
the trustees invested large sums in
syndicate operations for exploiting,
stocks and bonds and other securi-
ties for their own profit, and not to the
advantage of the policyhoHers. There
is the additional allega ton of misrep-
resentation, the charge being that,
while these things complained of We're
being done, the insured were assured
that they We're not being done, but
that everything was being done for the
benefit of the policyholders. The
plaintiff says that he was not aware, of
these things when he insured or he
would never have taken the policies.
The policies were for $4,000, and re-
covery of $3.50 in premiums and inter
est is sought.

FIRE THIS
MORNING
lneipient Blaze in a
Maunakea Street !.
Store.

For a fire that started in the front
part of Chor,g Wo Chan's feed store,
in brick building on the Eva side
Of Maunakea street about six doors
from King, an alarm was sounded at
1925 this morning from box II, Hotel
and Nuuanu streets.
Although the fire engines were on
the ground before the whistle had
completed the alarm. there was no
need to lay the hose, as the fire was
out. Some charred tea boxes on a
shelf still smoking when the firemen
entered, showed that there had been a
blaze.
The Chinese in the place, of whom
there was a crowd, could give no in
formation of the origin of the fire.
They had the usual theory for China
town store fires to offer, that rats
had nibbled matches.

of dealing with bad children, having a
theory that he felt might be proved prac-
teal in Surgeons case, inquired in detail
into the boys history. After much patience
it came out that the boy had once fallen
from hay loft while playing, and had
struck on his head.
That was enough to satisfy Mr..
Marsh. To the parents, beside them
selves with worry over their boys ap-
parent innate criminal tendencies, Mr.
Marsh explained that it was his belief
that much of the downright badness of
children is due solely to physical defects
operating adversely on the BRAIN Re
move these defects, he went on, give the
bad children normal machines, take away
the abnormalities that irritate them into
so-called natural badness, and their be-
havior will become normal with their
bodies. Gas for your boy" he said, in
substance, II firmly believe that the fall
from the hay loft has made him the
terror he is by causing the skull in some
place to press unduly on the brain,
thereby keeping it from acting normally
Let me have him removed to the city
for examination by the best surgeons
procurable."
The consent of the parents was gained,
and Spurgeon was introduced to clinic
at one of Philadelphia's leading hospitals
by DR.. Ernest Larlace Then it was
discovered that at one point the skull
was seemingly slightly depressed. To
make sure beyond peradventure of a
doubt, the little patients head was
shaved, careful measurements were
taken with delicate instruments. The
depression was there, but slight, so
slight, in fact, as to escape any except
scientific examination.
AT the point of depression DR.. Laplace
trephined the skull, thus removing the
pressure on the BRAIN After two months
spent in the hospital Sturgeon was sent
home, with the wound in his head
ago, and the reports from his parents
in that time show that he is no longer
| a terror Stunned as formerly by old
and young, but very lovable and nor
NAL youngster in every respect, the play
mate of the young of his neighborhood
and the pet of the old folks. All Naza-
reth backs up the statements of the par
ents and marvels as much as they at

irveterate little criminal into a town

treatment. Take the case of Sturgeon
Welty. Until Mr.. Marsh learned of his
fall from the hay loft there was no clew
as to why he was so atrociously bad
The various examinations are con-
Quoted along lines laid down by DR.. S.
Weir Mitchell, the country's most ia
nous nerve specialist; DR.. Francis X.
Dercum, who ranks close to Dr. Mitchell,
and nine other we'll known specialists. The
blanks used in the various examinations
were prepared largely by DR.. Mitchell
himself; this is especially true of the
blanks used in the mental examination,
de ing, as it does, with the nervous con-
dition of the subject
A fraction less than thirty per cent of
the children examined have been found
to be normal, and of the more than sew
enty per cent discovered to be suffering
from one or more physical ailments the

''He was an involuntary criminal"
says Mr.. Marsh; ''the pressure on his
brain made him so. Now that has been
removed, his brain acts normally, and
he is good, because he has all the good
tendencies of the physically normal child,
there being no ailment present to warp
these innate tendencies"
Every child that now comes under the
care of Mr.. Marsh's society is first sub
jected to searching examination in or
der that its physical condition in every
part of the body may be ascertained.
This examination is made by two physi
clans connected with the citys Board of
Health. After it has been completed the
child passes into the hands of DR.. Al
fred Gordon, an expert in nervous dis
eases, for the mental examination; this
is as thorough as the physical. In addi
ton to these examinations every effort
is made to become familiar with the
child's family history as far back as its
grandparents on both sides. This is not
always easy to learn. Some parents re-
fuse to give the slightest bit of informa-
ton. Others are too ignorant to make
intelligent answer to the questions asked.
Still others have deserted their offspring
and cannot be located A history of this
sort frequently helps the examining ply
sicians and surgeons to arrive at the
proper decision regarding the childs

vast majority have been bad, or, as the
sociologists put it, "of the immoral or
the criminal type" About five per cent
were suffering from adenoid growth.
can adenoid is a funt ID growth, gen
orally accompanied by hypertrophied
tonsil, forming at the back of the nose
and forcing the child to breathe through
its mouth. By reflex action, they have
an irritating effect on the brain" These
are the words of DR.. A. c. Butcher, one
of the Board OF Healths surgeons work
ing with the cruelty society. To remove
an adenoid growth is matter of simple
surgery, and it is matter of record that
every child so operated on by the society
has changed for the better, physically,
mentally and morally in a surprisingly
short time.

cal defect to be removed By the knife

Did you ever have your father say
to you, when you had been more pesti-
ferrous than wicked, Young man, if yor
don't behave better I'll have to take yor
to the doctor and get him to cut the
badness out of your"
Of course, he was just joking; the
broad wink you caught him making al
your mother told you that; and you just
looked boldly up into his face and as
boldly laughed; and presently-it was
a mighty good joke-the stern look on
his face melted and his gruff chuckle
was joined with your scoffing merriment
and motAer's gentle smile.
And new as you look back on this joke
of threat sprung on you, heaven knows
how many times, and always ending in
fun for all, and for yourself most of all,
won't you be just bit sorry to learn
that it is joke no longer, that at last
they are really cutting the bad'' out of
boys and girls, vertically Transforming
-
the Sunday-school type.
1t is in Philadelphia that they are do
ing this; not in isolated cases, but as
Systematically and as scientifically as a
druggist puts up the prescriptions
brought into him.
The Pennsylvania Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty was the pioneer
in the movement to make the old joke
no longer a joke, but a grim reality.
Now, working with the society are the
Quaker City's Board of Health, its
Board of Education, its Department OF
Public Charities and Correction, the
Judges of its Juvenile Court, and its
leading surgeons and medical specialists
With all these forces arrayed against
them, the chemically bad boys and girls
of William PENIS town are not likely
to remain very long unregenerate-
granted, of course, that their parents
will be only too glad to let the badness
be cut out of their trouble-giving off
spring.
The wonders that have been worked
in the short time that the new method
of tanning terrors" has been in opera
ton, are, to use hacllneyed phrase
well-nigh unbelievable.
Take the case of Spurgeon Welty as
Representative.
I Spurgeon lives with his parents al

the time he came under the notice OF

ever been irritated almost beyond hu-
man endurance by bothersome eye?
Then you can we'll understand the full
significance of these words of DR..
Butcher:
1T is an everyday occurrence with us
to have children who manifest great
mental dullness made normally bright
by the correction of simple retroactive
error in the eyes. Sometimes I have
known a child to become normal and
apparently lose its vicious tendencies
two days after it has commenced wear
ing glasses. We have many extraordi-
nary cases of eye trouble. They are not
dangerous in themselves, but i'll the nerv-
GUS and mental effect on the patient; it
is difficult to emphasize their Importance
too much"
Sometimes defect is to be remedied
by prescribed diet; again, certain sorts
of work will likely eradicate it; or, if
it is incurable, the purpose is to prevent
its development to the point where the
child will become criminal or fit sub
ject for an insane asylum. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible, of course, for human
surgery to perform operations on the
brain itself for overcoming such defect
as that of cogenital weakmindedness.
This is one of the defects that, if looked
after in time, can be prevented from de-
veloping dangerously by favorable occu-
patton and environment.
So far, in Philadelphia, the largest
number of Transformations have been
brought about by cutting out the bad
ness" Eyes have been made normal by
a slip of the knife; threats, noses and
ears by the removal of adenoid growth !;
and other parts of the body made per-
feet by eradicating ailments peculiar to
them. The oculist has played almost as
leading part as the surgeon; never

FINAL EVIDENCE is TAKEN
Extra Session Is Called for Examina-
ton of Dispositions in Suit
to Contest Will

Final evidence was taken in the suit
to contest brought by heirs against the
will of the late Mrs. Amanda Reed of
Pasadena at a night session of court
held in department six before Judge
Monroe last night.
The examination of depositions con-
stituted most of the evidence. but as
it was found necessary to finish the
case this week the extra session was
called.
The point of law in the present pro-
ceedings is whether Mrs. Reed at the
time of the making of the will was a
resident of California or Oregon.
The court is to rule on that question
alone and following the verdict will
come further contest of the will. If
Mrs. Reeds last residence Is found to
have been in Pasadena, the will may
be altered to suit the southern laws,
which permit not more than one-third
of an estate to be willed to charity
when there are any heirs. The estate
amounts to $1,500,OOO and more than half
is willed to Portland charities.

Three Months-Mother OPP

Imprisonment in the reform school

months was the sentence imposed upon
Bessie McCamart by Judge Smith in

yesterday.
The girl pleaded guilty to charge
Of burglary, but the court was 10th to
send her to the penitentiary because
of certain circumstances surrounding
the case.
The mother refused to accept a pro-
baton sentence for Bessie, because she
alleged the girl had been a klepto-
maniac ever since she was young
ster.
1t was finally decided to send the
girl to Whittier until she becomes of
age, which will be within three months.

The targets in this place are ar
ranged twenty-eight feet from the
front of shooters, as follows; Nearest
the floor are large round targets, above
these are some smaller round targets
and others in the forms of birds. Along
the top of the partition eight feet from
the floor are a row of iron rods about
the size of pencil; on the top of each
rod rests an iron arm using the rod as
a pivot. On one end of this arm is
fastened an iron target disc about the
size of half dollar. On the other end
of the arm, placed in a socket was a
small American flag about three by
four inches in size. The distance from
the iron target disc on one end of the
arm and the flag on the other is about
six inches. When the disc target is
struck by bullet, it causes the arm
to revolve rapidly, making the flag
flutter about in a circle.
No Thought of Dissertation
1t will be seen that if the arm, when
ceasing to revolve, stopped at any
angle to the shooter other than parallel,
then the flag came more closely in
the range of fire, and anyone not ac-
customed to shoot would, when firing
at these disc targets, be just as apt
to hit the flag as to miss it. These
flags had been fastened on the arms of
these targets for about two months and
we feel certain that they were placed
there innocently by the Japanese
proprietor, without any thought or in
tention of descration solely for signal
ing and as ornaments.
