can ticket but want to warn this
committee that 1t will be responsible
for the result when the votes are
counted in Kentucky"
According to a committeeman who
just came out of committee, Bradley
called Clayton b. Blakey of Louis-
Vile, liar, when Blakey stated that
Bradley had said the nomination OF
Taft would mean the defeat of the
Republican party in Kentucky.
The two Kentuckians became
wildly excited ana their friends had
great dlfficulty in preventing a per-
sonal encounter.

LIVING BAC|LL|
AS A CURE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
Injection of Living Germs Gives
Immunity, Say Savants at
Washington Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THAT any
successful immunity from the dread
white plague must be accomplished
through the use of the living tubercle
bacilli was the novel theory today ad-
vanced before the section on I'm
nunity" at the International Congress
on tuberculosis in paper read for
Professor M. A. Barber, of the Univer-
sity of Kansas, and Drs. w. w. Will
iams and Gerald w. Webb, OF Colorado
Springs, Colo. The paper was entitled
Immunity Production by incubation
of Increasing Numbers of Bacteria"
and attracted considerable attention
Immunity by the inoculat.on Of the
living germs has been accomplished in
but few diseases. principally In small
pox, but the authors declare that satis-
factory immunity from tuberculosis has
only been obtained experimentaliy by
the use of living bacilli The expert
ments consisted of inoculaung guinea
pigs, beginning with one of the deadly
tubercle bacilli. and then gradually in
creasing the number up to the thou
sands.
The result was, according to the au-
thors, that none of the guinea pigs
have become victims of tuberculosis as
shown by postmortem examinatiors.
ITO ascertain any therapeutic value of
this theory" state the authors. rabbits
rendered tuberculous by feeding living
tubercle hacilli are undergoing SINH
lar inoculations for their cure."

Rescue Victim, Who Ac-

Especial to the Evening star.l

NEW YORK, Oct. imprisoned for
four weeks in the dark cellar of hovel
at 725 Rockaway avenue. East New
York, where she had been forced to
submit to numberless indignities, Lena
Thorn, a timid girl of 16, os German
parentage, was taken last night in a
raid made on the hovel by the police,
to whom neighbors had reported cries
of distress at all hours of the night.
That the girl had been kidnapped the
parents never doubted. but the police
had given up the hunt some time ago,
believing she had eloped.
She was arraigned in court today
along with Rosio Sesso, whom she ac-
cuses and Anna Carlo, a woman who
guarded her night and day. Both were
held without bail to answer many Sc
rious charges.
''I went out into the fields near our
house to pick up sc-Ne flowers for the
dinner table," the little girl said "Five
Italians appeared suddenly and they
carried me off Then one of them went
off for wagon. I was gagged SO that
/ could not scream, and taken to the
cellar, where they have kept me ever
since"
The police are now making a thor
ough search for any others who may
have been implicated in the crime.

GUSTAV OBNER
DID NOT SW|NDLE
HIS OLD MOTHER
But Court Orders Him to Pay
His Parent a Larger
Allowance.

That Gustav Obner, Of 20 Sharon
averue, Irvington, did not swindle his
77-year- mother. Mrs. Caroline OBJ
ner, out of the home which the son Is
at the present time occupying. but that
he should increase the money allowance
which he is now paying the aged wom-
an. was the decision of Vice Chan
by Mrs. Obner against her son.
The decision, although 1t was VIC
tory for the son, had an element OF
compromise in it and acted very much
ss oil on troubled waters. The court
room, was crowded with partisans Of
the aged woman, all of whom seemed to
believe that Gustav had treated his
parent badly. A few supporters were
equally audible in backing the son. The
spirit of hostility was not decreased
by the stunning up of the counsel, so
that when the vice -chancellof's ver-
diet was pronounced Immediately at the
close of the trial some words of balm
were very much needed.
The facts of the case showed that
Mrs. Caroline Obncr had entered into
an agreement with her son Gustav,
whereby he was to get her home in
Sharon avenue. for which $4,000 had
been offered, for a fifteen-year mort
sage for $3sD0o bearing no interest, the
payment of $1,000, debt which another
son, William, held against the mother,
ana the payment Of $40 a month to the
mother by Gustav with free board. THIS
latter agreement did not. however, APP
pear..in the contract.

fled precipitately, and Nero disappeared
in the direction of the woods
Keepers and farmers Immediately

yesterday, died at 2:25 a. m. today at
the City Hospital. From the time he
was brought to the hospital 1t was
clearly apparent to the physicians that
there was no hope of recovery for him,
and that the only relief held out to him
from the uncomfortable agonies he suf-
fered was death.
He remained conscious up to within
an hour Of his death. and bore up
bravely under the terrible pain he suf-
fered. McKellin's home is in Passaic.

send his body to that city. His tragic
death was the sole topic of conversa-

the boiling vat into which he fell. but
leaped out of 1t almost the same instant
that he fell into the receptacle.

is in the possession of Plainclothesman
Sebold, of the Fourth Precinct, and 1t
may result in the arrest OF the person,
or persons, guilty of robbing three

hardware store of Arthur Nungesser,
sol Clinton avenue.
At the former place one dozen cigars

removed from the cash drawer, while
one dozen razors and SIS worth OF

in the front door the intruder made his
escape through window he had cut

guilty of the three robberies and waited
until 2:30 to enter his place.

the noise ceased and he retired. He
discovered that a panel had been cut
from a rear door. The entrance to

in the door and then unlocking It.
Sebold was sent to Investigate and he
found half a package of gum on the
floor, showing where it had been Bit

a lot of burnt matches on the floor

robberies were the work of a boy and
