is A WHITE ELEPHANT
JORDAN DRUNK ONCE MORE
Hardly Outside the County 6astiIe Till
He was in Condition to Be Placed
Within its Confines Once More
Threatened Trouble.

The fact that it has a white ele-
plant" on its hands in the person OF
one James Jordan, is beginning 70
dawn on the police department OF
Richmond. There seems to be a fix.
ed determination on the part of Jordan
to subsist on food furnished by the
county until such time as the sun
shall be shining on both sides of the
street.
Jordan is social derelict whose life
has been wrecked by excessive indul-
gence in opiates and whisky. An ac-
count of the arrest of this man, and a
brief sketch of his career appeared in
the columns of the Palladium early
this month He received sentence
of 81 and costs on a charge OF drunk
enness, and yesterday morning his
time expired. Not many hours had
elapsed after his release before he was
found by the police on Main street be-
tween Ninth and Tenth, bowling like a
Cominanche Indian and threatening to
do damage to the windows of business
houses along that thoroughfare. He
was sent to the city prison by Patrol
men Vogelsong and Winters, and
seemed greatly pleased over his ar
rest.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 21.-The so
called Farber insurance bill, which
| has been amended to have all the
| appearance of the Olive bill by the
senate was passed this afternoon by
a vote of AS to /. The one vote cast
against the measure was that of Sen
ator Bowser, of Lake, who stated that
he did not intend to even be put on
record as having assisted in a crime
against the people of the state by
enacting law which would be inoper-
alive.
There was not a single senator who
failed to rise to explain his vote.
Many of the senators became bitter
in their arraignment of the governor,
while in some instances he was de-
Tended as being one of the greatest
governors the state has ever had.
A peculiar situation had developed
in connection with the passage of the
bill and tonight politicians are specu-
lating as to the possible political re-
suit
1t is contended by the republicans
that should the measure prove bad
legislation the democrats must divide
the blame as every member on the
minority side voted in favor of its
passage On the other side it is con-
tended that should the law prove fine
legislation that the democrats can
not claim any of the glory as there
were enough republican votes cast
for it to have passed it without the
assistance of a single democrat
1t is now expected that the house
will kill both the Babcock and the
Olive bill and that the senate bill
will be made a law. Just what ac-
ton the governor will take is being
discussed freely. Many are of the
opinion that he will veto the bill in
its present form and that he will then
issue a call for an extra session of
the legislature in hope that he will
be able to force the kind of legis-
lation he desires. The bill as passed
by the senate lacks much of being
the original reform measure intend
ed.

tons to its teamsters. The truckmen

it to their advantage to adopt some
similar plan. Even the carelessness
about blanketing horses in the street is
probably due as much to ignorance
and thoughtlessness as to downright
Indifference.

WORTHLESS CUR ABROAD
POLICE LOOKING FOR HIM
Despicabie Dog Poisoner Has Killed
Three Valuable CANNES in Rich
mond This Week-Acts of a Brain
less Pervert.

That a dog poisoner is at work in
Richmond there is no question. A
number of valuable CANNES have met
death at his hands in the last few
days, and the police although they
are endeavoring to ascertain his iden-
tity have not the slightest clew TO
work on
Among those who have reported the
loss of animals is Wheaton Tallant of
80 South Eleventh street. whose high
~ priced Scotch collie died this week
in great agony, supposedly as the
result of arsenic poisoning. Mr..
Miller residing on South Tenth street
was the owner of a very intelligent
Scotch terrier, which met the same
fate.
The person or persons who are do
ing this despicable work also killed
bulldog belonging to Frank Cook.
a local railroad man, who is absent
from home a great deal at night. and
kept the canine for the protection of
his wife. He valued the dog very
highly because of the protection that
it afforded his wife.
The police are under the impress
sion that the poisoner is one who has
at some time been bitten, and has
an unreasonable hatred for dogs.

TRUTH ABOUT CANCER.
This Deadly Disease 10 a Puzzle to the
Medical World.

This Deadly Disease 10 a Puzzle to the
Medical World.
About cancer we must admit that
we know next to nothing. We don't
know the cause of the disease. Except
In a small proportion of very early
cases, we don't know how to cure it.
We don't know whether it is hereditary
We don't know IL 1t is induced by pc
culiarities Of diet We don't know to
what extent it depends upon climate.
We don't know whether it is conta-
gious or infectious. We don't know
why it reserves it's attacks for oldish
people. We don't know why 1t is in
creasing. All we may do at present Is
to keep sharp lookout for incipient
cancers and cut them out ruthlessly.
In brief, we must try to kill the can
Ger before 1t really exists. The prelim-
mary spot or pea-like growth must be
removed at once. We must keep a
weather eye upon infiamed places and
have them looked after without delay
No one fears the removal of such tiny
growths these days. Not even children
are scared by small operations.
1t is not sufficient that family ply
with lancet or caustic He has done his
share if he merely sounds the warning
in time. The cutting out should be
done by thoroughly competent sur
geon. one who has served an appren-
ticeship under a master of the art and
not one who has merely dabbled in
surgery while attending cases of pneu-
monia. typhoid and measles.
A good surgeon Of this sort does not
temporize with a cancer He knows
that the operation must be performed
Immediately and that there must be
no fatuous endeavor to conserve
healthy tissue 1t is far better to re-
move two inches of sound flesh than
behind one microscopic cancer cell. 1t
Is only by such radical and merciiess
surgery that we may combat cancer
We must take it in time, and we must
cut deep and wide.
And even then we are never sure.
Nature indeed is the only doctor
whose skill is capable of combating
cancer. Ehrlich and others have OBJ
served that Of given number of mice
symptoms of cancer a GER
tain portion recover. The same thing
is true of human beings.
Luckily there is no disease, no mat
ter how virulent, that nature herself
cannot cure, and so even in the worst
cases of cancer it is well not to aban
don hope. / have myself seen several
cases of such spontaneous cures. One
patient was wealthy Baltimorean,
whose malady was diagnosed by an
operation as cancer Of the stomach.
Three promine~ American surgeons
saw the cancer. which was inoperable
because of it's loca ton. He submitted
to q serum treatment, and three years
later a second operation revealed the
fact that his cancer had entirely disap-
peared. leaving a scar. Here was all
case of cure. But did the
serum do the work? Its advocates
maintain that 1t did. but a great many
very learned and scientific physicians
hold that it did not One cure. 1t is
obvious. by no means establishes a
specifics efficacy. = DIR. Hirshberg of
Johns Hopkins in American Magazine.

Washington, March 23.-'I propose

This sentiment spoken by Secretary

Mr.. Roots toast followed toaSts
proposed by Mr.. Creel TO the presi-

The sentiment suggested by the secre-

One Of the Bad features Of the situa-

is using every effort to prevent its
money from going into speculation;
and While / think we have money
