INSANITY CAUSED
BY DISEASED CORN
DR.. 6ABcOcK, SOUTH CAROLINA
ALIENlsT, DISCOVERS IN ITALY
THE ORIGIN OF PELLAGRA.

NEW YORK, Aug 2l.-The World S
Paris correspondent sent the follow
ing:
Travelling with United States Sen
ator Tillman, who is at present sthy-
ing at the Hotel Albany, is DR.. Bah
Carolina insane asylum
Dr. Babcock during his tour has
made observations on peculiar men
tai disease called pellagra. and his
findings may have a great economic
influence In the southern portion OF
Statets.---'--'-------:----
DR.. Babcock had noticed the pres
ence Of the disease in various south
ern states, particularly Georgia and
the Carolinas, and even as far west as
Texas. Before his departure from
America pellagra was thought to be
unknown there, and il was some time
before DIR. Babcock diagnosed II. This
diagnosis was disputed by many Am.
erican alienists. because so little was
known about the disease in the Tit
ed States.
During his travels in Italy DR.. Bah
cock had several interviews with DR..
Pavone, who Is the head OF The Italian
board of public health, and Ia the
recognized European authority on
putiJgra.
He gave DR.. Babcock facilities for
examining cases of pellagra in Italian
hospitals, and as q result or his tn
designations DR.. Babcock is certain
the American disease is pellagra.
The disease is caused by eating dis
eased or fermented corn. 1t is par
ticularly ripe in the Lombardy dis
trict, where, Senator Tillman remark
cd enough space and air are Civ
en- TO the corn.
The economic importance OF Dr.
Babcock's discovery was explained by
Senator Tillman. He said that after
the civil war the south abandoned corn
growing on a large scale because such
high prices were obtainable for cot
ton. The south, he said, was there
fore compelled TO import corn from
other states which were not nearly SO
favorable for corn growing.
Some of this corn. he said. is dis
eased in the pith. that is the nitrogen
GUS part, but as the outer, starchy
part is still good all Is ground up for
hominy or meal.
This is the origin OF pellagra N
the southern states To stamp It
out. Senator Tillman said, there must
either be a rigorous inspection OF
corn or the south must put up a bar
rler against corn grown i'm other states
and revert TO corn growing itself.

WASHINGTON HAS
A MURDER MYSTERY,
Diplomat, Wife of Army Captain and e
Negro Arc Supposed 10 Be In
volved IN Shooting.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 30
The police of this city have a shooting
mystery on their hands, involving a ne
gro man. a supposed diplomat, and the
alleged wife of an army captain. At the
Emergency hospital William Sykes, the
negro and the man who was shot, lies
in a critical condition, while the other
parties to the affair for the present. at
least. have been able to conceal their
id entity.
The shooting occurred Saturday even
ing in a fashionable section of the city
after the negro had approached the cou-
Die and, as he says, asked to be directed
to certain address. A short time after
ward, according to the story OF clerk
in the Portland apartment house, over
looking Thomas circle, near where the
shooting took place, man and woman,
apparently greatly excited, passed quick
~ through the lobby and left by another
door The mans nose was bleeding ana
the woman was heard to advise him to
have it attended to, whereupon they
started for a drug store on the corner,
but changed their minds and dlsap-
peared.
The negro adheres to his first story
that he simply asked to be directed TO
an address he gave. 1t is stated that
should the negro die, the police would be
compelled to make a canvass of all the
legations, unless in the meantime the
identity of the man becomes established.

CHIEF Buggy DROWNED.
San Francisco Police Officer Loses His
Life While Crossing Bay in
Patrol Launch.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. l.
William j. Buggy, for more than year
chief of police of this city, drowned
in the bay last night and his body has
not been recovered. He had gone to Bel
videre in the police launch patrol for
a conference with Police Commissioner
Kiehl and was returning when he was
taken sick from the motion of the boat.
He was advised to go to the stern and
was last seen vomiting over the rail. 1t
is presumed that he fell overheard. Since
the suicide of Morris Haas, the assail-
ant of Assistant District Attorney +. j.
Heney, there has been hard feeling be-
tween the chief and the graft prosecu-
ton. Charges of incompetency and fail
ure to properly guard his prisoner were
pending against the chief because of the
fact that Haas had a pistol with which
he killed himself.
