late liquor in interstate commerce as soon
as it entered their borders.
Representative Littlefeld Of Maine au-
thor of the bill. is member of the judi

looms were operated under cover He read
from the Lewistown Sun describing drunk
enness on the street

tlefleld; put wha': ! say in the Record.

Mr.. Bartholdt flushed. II am not say
ing that on my own authority" he said
Il am quoting from Maine newspaper
Well. l say 1t on my own authority"
replied Mr.. Littlef1eld. 1T is a false
hood
Mr.. Bartholdt continued to read about
drunkenness in Maine and quoted sta.
tistics to show how many persons held
federal liquor licenses in the state. Then
Mr.. Littlefleld interrupted and read a let
ter on the same subject.

THE COUNTESS GIZYCKI
WANTS DIVORCE TO WED AN
ENGLISH POLITICIAN.

A cabegram from Vienna to the New
York World says that Countess Gizyckf
twalo was Miss Eleanor Patterson. daugh-
ter Of Robert w. Patterson OF the Chi
cago Tribune) intends to marry an Eng
fish statesman. 1t is reported here. For
this purpose she probably will try to OBJ
tain a divorce from Count Joseph Gisycki
in America. as the obstacles to her get
are almost insuperable.
The difficulties between the count and
countess reached arr acute stage two
months ago. Early in March the coun-
tess was staying at the Hotel Savoy, I'm
London, and while there placed her baby
daughter somewhere in the country.
Determined to find the child the count
hired detectives to shadow the coun-
tess. In following her about they located
the little girl in cottage in Hampton
HIN. a suburb OF London. where the baby
was i'm the care of a country woman.
A Temporary Reconciliation.
About the middle of March recon-
Citation was effected while the count and
countess were In Paris. but II proved only
temporary. AS soon as the count saw
that a rupture was again imminent he
resolved to gain possession OF his daugh-
ter. and hurried to England. where he
took the child from its temporary home.
He accomplished this without difhculty.
The countess. who In devotedly fond OF
the baby girl. was furious when she dis
covered what her husband had done. and
Immediately employed detectives to trace
the little one. But they failed utterly.
During the recent negotiations OF the
lawyers representing the count and the
countess. arrangements were made for
the mother to see her daughter last .don-
day i'm a house near Vienna. The coun.
tess arrived I'm an automobile at the
house at o'clock. the appointed hour.
but the child was not there Declining
to wait. the angry countess rode away.
Precautions Against Plot.
Representatives of the count. who had
been warned to take every precaution
against a plot. inspected the roads lead
ing to the house most carefully and saw
two waiting automobiles containing six
men.
Later. when the child reached the house.
the greatest possible care was taken to
guard against surprise. the suspicious Of
the watchers having been keenly- aroused.
The. child was kept In the house three
hours, in the belief that the countess
might return. but when she failed to APP
pear. the little girl was finally taken
away through a back gateway and, again
hidden in the country.
II Is expected that no further step will
be taken until Monday. when the coun.
tess brother. Joseph Medill Patterson.
will arrive and take charge of her unfor.
tunate affairs.

ADDRESS TO TEACHERS.
DIR. Knopf Discusses Means of Pre-
venting Tuberculosis.

/ DR.. 8. A. Knopf of New York city. the
famous specialist on tuberculosis, deliv-
cred an address Wednesday afternoon be-
fore the public school teachers of the city
In the assembly room of the Business
High School. DR.. Knopf has been in the
front ranks of the fight against this dis
ease In New York city for years and Is
an acknowledged authority on the sub
ject. He spoke to the teachers of their
especial responsibility in the matter, say
ing that next to the physicians it was
more important that the teachers shall be
able to recognize the symptoms Of tuber-
culosis in order that the children may be
proper treatment in the early stages of
the disease.
DR.. Knopf spoke also of the opportunity
which the teachers have of doing mis-
sIonary work in the homes of their pupils
in persuadng mothers to send the chill
dren to dispensaries or competent physi-
clans instead of relying on patent medi-
cines and sure consumptive cures" He
also discussed briefly school hygiene both
from the point of view of construction
and then proper maintenance. He said
that the rooms in the schools should be
constructed with curved surfaces In or
der that the dust might not collect in the
corners and angles. and that folding fur
niture should be used so that 1t could be
removed entirely from the room while 1t
was given a thorough cleaning. He spoke
in very strong language against the habit
of janitors and caretakers of sweeping
with dry brooms and raising dust in
the room which settled back upon all Of
the furniture.
Every properly equipped school, the
speaker said should have a swimming
tank. not only for instruction of the pu-
pills in swimming. but also for providing
a place for bathing for the children who
have not the facilities at home. Dr.
Knopf interested the teachers greatly by
demonstrating what he considered proper
breathing exercises which he recommend
ed the teachers to use in their schools. He
also spoke of the great value to the chill
dren of reciting and singing I'm the open
air.
Dr Knopf spoke under the auspices of
the subcommittee on lectures of the CON-
mittee on prevention of consumption. DR..
Charles w. Richardson is chairman of
this subcommittee and has secured tho
consent Of the school board TO give in
structive talks on. Tuberculosis 70 the

thirty-two years succeeded in drowning
himself I'm the old Pennsylvania canal at

Turpin spent the night drinking and
early in the morning accompanied by his
bull terrier went to the canal and plunged
headlong into the stream. which is very
deep at that place Edward McCord and
Frank Magnolia saw Turpin in the water
and made an attempt to reach him, but
the dog sprang at them. biting piece of
flesh from the wrist of Magnolia. The
dog was thrown aside and held by an
other man, while McCord and Magnolia
swan to the side of Turpin and dragged
him ashore Turpin appeared very angry,
because the men would not permit him
to commit suicide.
Third Attempt Successful.
Shortly after 6 o'clock he returned to
the canal and again jumped in. Another
attempt to reach the man was made by
the two men. but the dog attacked each
one and bit McCord on the neck. Once
more Turpin was rescued and the men
telephoned for a policeman.
Before he arrived, however, Turpin. with
the assistance of his faithful dog. got
away from his rescuers and made a third

rescuers then succeeded in dragging Tur-
pin to shore after considerable time spent

dead.
Turpin was the son of James P. Turpin,

and we would see great red fields that

And as our eyes turn. we see lofty

and streams and as our eyes travel
slowly upward and reach the summit,
we see shepherds lovingly tending
their flocks.
