"CANCER" STATED CLINIC
DOCTORS after DIAGNOSIS
Remarkable Recovery OF Elderly Woman
From Supposed Fatal MalAdy

The following remarkable statement by
Patrolman George A. Lehnhoff, Sixty
first precinct. New York, Is made in
connection with the much-discussed
medicines now being introduced by l..
T. Cooper In New York.
Patrolman Lehnhoff, when seen at head
quarters, said: "My mother, living at
sS6 Union Avenue, Bronx. N. Y. who is
seventy-one years of age. has had ca
tarrh of the stomach for ten years. The
gas in her stomach pressed on her heart
to such an extent that physicians told
her she had heart trouble.
Her condition became so bad that she
was taken to the poiytechnical clinic on
Thirty-fourth street and was examined
by a board of physicians, who diagnosed
her case as cancer of the stomach.
"She heard of this Cooper medicine and
asked me to get II for her. 1 was skep-
teal, however, and would not do so at
first, but my mother insisted and I H.
nally got the treatment for her. although
1 did not believe anything could help her
she has taken the treatment and does
not seem like the same woman. She nc
longer has any pain In her stomach, car
eat anything, attends to her household
duties and goes downtown whenever she
feels like II, with no fear of being sent
home in an ambulance.

CHARGE AGAINST OPERATORS
Western Union telegraph Company
Out OF Large Sums ny
Railroad Photographers.

PORTLAND. Dec. Alan investigation
by the Western Union Telegraph company
carried on during the last six months, has
disclosed an organized system of theft
among railroad operators on the Pacific
coast by the reason of which the telegraph
company has been robbed of several hun-
dred thousand dollars. according to a state
ment made tonight by an official of the
company who is in charge Of the investiga-
ton.
Complaint is made in several Instances
that messages filed at certain stations had
not been sent or delivered and the falling
off of receipts at other places on railroad
lines caused the Western Union officials
to institute a thorough investigation. A
secret service was organized and 1t was
discovered that in some instances 60 per
cent of the money received for messages
filed at railroad offices never reached the
telegraph company. The kilograms, with
but few exceptions, were properly trans
mitted and delivered. but all records of
these dispatches. so far as reports and
bookkeeping pertained, had been destroyed.
Following the discovery OF the theft and
the accumulation of proof warrants were
obtained for the arrest of several operators
In the state of Washington and 1t is alleged
by officials of the companies that at least
one Of the arrested men has confessed.
They will all be brought to trial shortly.
Only railroad operators are said to be
involved in the alleged steal.

Charles b.. Walcott. secretary Of the

ton the work of excavating a prehistoric

THREAT FROM NIGHT RIDERS
Elmer Swanson Ordered to Leave $500
in Rear Of His Store.
LETTER GIVEN TO THE POLICE
Writing IL similar 20 that of Two
Missives Recently Received
by Farmers In Crescent
Township.

Another case of a threatening letter to
extort money, signed by THE Night Rid
ers,' and similar to the two recently re-
ceived by Charles McKeown, the Crescent
township farmer. Is being investigated by
the federal and local authorities.
Elmer Swanson. proprietor of a grocery
and meat market at 71 North Tenth street,
who lives at 1908 Avenue /. was the re-
ciplent Of this latest Matchmaking massive.
The letter was received by him through
the mall last Friday afternoon and wa at
once turned over by Mr.. 5wansonA to the
police.
The letter, which wa signed THE Night
Riders, per Sam Salvador directed Mr.,
Swanson to deposit $500 near a gatepost at
the rear of his store at IL o'clock on the
night of Saturday, December 10. The PEN
atty Mr.. Swanson was to pay for failure to
place the money there, the letter stated,
would be the burning down OF his store.
The letter was turned over by the police
TO the postoffice inspector of this district.
The handwriting, It is stated, of the letter
received by Mr.. Swanson is in every par
ticular identical with that of the two
threatening letters received by Charles Nc
Keown. with writing of which C. A Wild
ing Is charged.
NJAAA1 AAAo oAANoE kAAOO OChS obO
wilding has been confined in the county
Jail, but has been visited by members of his
family and friends. The local authorities
feel confident that the same person wrote
the letters received by McKeown and that
received by Swanson.
At the county Jail yesterday Jailer Gallup
when asker If at any time since the man
was placed there. he had mailed a letter for
Wilding, said he had not. Jailer Gallup said
further that he did not know of Wilding
having written any letters since placed In
the county jail, although he admitted that
the prisoner had been provided with pen,
ink and writing material.
Asked II Wilding could not lave got some
of those who had visited him at the jail
to mail a letter for him. Jailer Gallup re-
piled he did not think so, as he had always
kept a close watch on any person visiting
the prisoner.
From what members OF Wllding's family
have stated since his arrest, it is understood
his defense will probably be that of insan-
ity. If the letter received by Swanson
should prove to have been written by Wild.
ing. 1t could not possibly have been sent
with any idea of securing any money, see.
ing that Wilding is still behind the bars
of the county bastile. and the police are in.
cllned to the opinion that II he did write
and send 1t. he did so for the purpose OF
aiding his anticipated defense of insanity.
