COMES To LIFE AGAIN
AS CORONER ARRIVES

Lies as if Dead for
Ten Hours

REDDING. June 24.-Just as the
coroner and physician were entering
the house with a coffin yesterday, Miss
Mamie Curl, the Is year old daughter
of William Curl, who was struck by
lightning last Saturday and supposedly
killed, opened her eyes and looked in
quiringly around. The parents of the
girl and friends of the family who
had gathered at the home were terror
stricken
The girl, after recovering conscious
ness, regained her strength rapidly and
today was apparently well. She had
lain 10 hours as though lifeless before

reached his gate, 211 feet away, testi-
fed yesterday that he had recently
walked the distance and found that he
did it at an average pace in sc sec
onds-too short a time, according to
the theory of the defense, for Orchard
to place a bomb, run to the corner, get
on car and out of hearing. 1t is
contended that the Japanese would
have seen any bomb that had already
been placed there.
To show that the explosion was so
loud that Orchard could not possibly
have got out of hearing, the defense
called ]. B. Reilly. Walter H. Linforth,
Mrs. Walter H. Linforth, Mrs. NJ. Z.
Cumming and Mrs. Charles Pichard,
formerly Mrs. Crow. who was the cook
in the Bradley household. All de-
scribed the noise as terrible" and ex-
pressed the belief that it could be
heard mile or more away.
Linforth stated in his testimony that
gas leaks were found later. and that
before the explosion gas was smelt
for some time His testimony was cor
roborated in this detail by Mrs. Pichard
and Mrs. Cumming, who occupied one
of the flats. Linforth testified that
from the room where the leakage oc-
Cured gas could find its way all
through the house.
1t was brought out in cross examina-
tion of Linforth that in the hallway of
Bradley's house after the explosion
there were several broken gas pipes.
Linforth also testified that there was a
hole in the porch about three feet from
Bradley's door, and that the iron rail-
ing close beside the door, on the street
side. was found in the front room of
the fiat above, having been wrenched
free from its fastenings and hurled
through the ceiling and floor above
Linforth said that il would be impos-
sible for any one to ascend to the
roof of the house from the back stairs
without a ladder, which Orchard claims
to have done.

CHICAGO, April 9.-Dr. Thomas J.
Balhatchett, $3.50 Madison avenue, was
bound oyer to the grand jury accused
of murder by coroner's jury. The ac-
ton was the result Of an inquiry into

DR.. James w. Walker and DR.. H. N.
Richter attended Mrs. Beck at the

The mere enumeration of the topics

tain citizens of Colon that what they
call unjust and intolerable conditions
are demanded by the officials who have
the sanitary matters in charge. These
citizens dislike sanitary reforms when
are needed for the protection OF their

under the encouragement and assist

there would be just criticism from

IMPROVED CANAL CONDITIONS.

There are so many people in the
United States who have the means
and the inclination for travel that it
will not be possible to conceal for any
length of time improper and insanitary
conditions in the canal zone if they ex-
list. The enthusiasm which is mani
tested by some of these travellers as
they think of the greatness of the task
which the government is undertaking
is somewhat moderated by the reports
which are spread by other returned
visitors that the food is bad and the
conveniences of life poor. There is a
chance. of course. that special prepar-
atoms may be made to entertain a
president, a cabinet member, or q
group of congressman. But the real
facts cannot be concealed because OF
the ubiquitous Yankee traveller.
The announcement that a good hote
is to be built to meet the needs Of the
increasing number of Americans wht
will visit the zone with the nation.

interest in the isthmian region as al

sicians are as reported and are correct,
she has been distributing death by her
mere presence and all the while un-
conscious of the fact. But when 1t
comes to details the difference between
poetry and fact is conspicuous. Instead
of being a graceful young lady of rare
beauty and refinement she is a plain
middle aged cook. Instead of dwelling
among flowers and breathing their
fragrance she lives in the kitchen.
where the smell of the cabbage or
onion exceeds the strength of violets
or roses. Instead of the victim falling
in a swoon of delight which becomes
the quiet of death, there intervenes the
distress of a lingering fever.
If it is true that germs of typhoid
fever may remain in the system for ten
or twenty years. as doctors assert II
does not follow that such a person is
dangerous. Typhoid baccilli usually
enter the system through the alimen-
tary canal, and only a degree of I'M
cleanliness repulsive to contemplate in
a cook could account for the presence
of the baccilli in the food. 1t is the
| theory of some physicians that typhoid
| fever may be conveyed, like yellow
fever, by insect bites, but that is not
proved.
In whatever way the typhoid poison
is brought to the victim the reality is
| hopelessly inferior in delicacy and
! beauty to the imagination of the writer
of romances. Truth may be stranger
than fiction: it is not always more
beautiful.

ROMANCE AND REALITY

Hawthorne tells the story of an 1tal-
ian scientists who accustoms his
daughter to poisons until she thrives
On what would kill others. But, alas.
her blood becomes so impregnated with
poison that she becomes an agent OF
destruction to all with whom she
comes in contact. She breathes on
rose and it shrive's and falls. Nox-
ious flowers alone may bloom in her
garden. tropical blossoms whose per-
fume intoxicates the rash invader and
drugs him into the sleep of death. But
while the blight Of death rests upon
the garden and it's fair lady, the eye
finds nothing but beauty there. This
is the romantist's dream.
The basal conception Of the romance
is found exemplified in story from
real life which has just become known.
A woman has been discovered in New
York who is believed to have carried
typhoid fever wherever she went for
the last five years. If theories of ply
