PITTSBURG DOCTORS
FIND L0CKJAW CURE

PITTSBURG, Aug. 2 = The Magee
annex, also known as the Pasteur IN
stitute, attached to the Mercy hosplta.i
of Pfttsburg, comes to the fore with
what is claimed is the first real cure Tor
tetanus, or lockjaw. Magnesium sui
phate injected into the spinal column is
said to have effected the cure.
This evening Harry Gilbert, IA years
of age, was discharged from the Pas
teur annex as well. He was one of the
most severe cases to come under the
notice of local physicians, and the new
cure was watched with great interest. :,
The boy was hurt with a toy pistol
on July 4, and on July 10 was carried
to the hospital In commissions lnJec-
tions of a per cent solution OF mag
nesirnu sulphate were started and grad
ually Increased to 10 per cent. BY de-
grees the body of the boy, which nau
become rigid, resting only on the back
of his head and his heels, began to re-
lax. Anti-toxin, too, was USED IN goou
quantities to assist in the work or re-
Laying the muscles. All the hospital
physicians assert that there was no
hone of anti-toxin saving the boys IRE
so far had the disease progressed be-
fore he was treated.

THINK MISS FORSTER
LIKELY TO RECOVER
PHYSICIANS SAY OPERATION IS
UNNECESSARY
Brother Asserts She Had Been Suffer-
Ing from Attack Of Typhoid Fever
Which Had Unbalanced
Her Mind

After a consultation of three physi-
clans yesterday afternoon it was de-
cided that Miss Charlotte B. Forster,
who attempted to commit suicide Tues
day by leaping from the third story OF
the Angelus hotel to an adjoining roof,
will not have to submit to an operation.
1t Is the opinion of the medical experts
that she will recover.
DR.. Ross Moore, her regular physi-
clan, called into consultation Drs. g.
w. Lasher of Los Angeles and H. L.
woodward of San Diego. Although
Miss Forster struck her head heavily
against the roof when she fell, the
physicians think her skull Is not frac-
tured. Her previous condition, for she
had been suffering from nervous pros
tration for some months, is all that
stands in the way of recovery.
Miss Forster is the only daughter or
the late Charles G.. Forster of Dixteld,
Me-, who died about ten years ago.
She Is 45 years of age. Her brother,
who had signified his intention OF leaV-
ing for Los Angeles at once, was noti-
fed by wire by the physicians IN charge
that his presence here would not be
necessary, and probably he will not
make the long jonurney. He stated
that Miss Forster was suffering from a
severe attack of typhoid fever which
seized her some time ago. ana mat IL
had temporarily deranged her mind,
While the nurse who kept a constant
surveillance over her, was answering
the telephone Tuesday afternoon about
4 O'Clock, Miss Forster attempted to
leap out of the window of her apart
ment at the Angelus. The nurse held
her about the waist TILL her strength
gave out, and Miss Forster then fell to
the roof below.
She had just arrived in this city after
a few, months stay in San Diego.

ELMHURST, L. l., Aug. 26.-An-

of several weeks.
When it was announced last week
that Antonio Pastor was sick unto death
the newspapers of New York WED with
each other in "reminiscences, sympathy

acquaintance with Tony Pastors career
and an equally enyiable recollection OF

Furthermore they all inquired into the
reasons for Mr.. Pastors great popular

seen at the little theater. 1.-THE boys OF
81, as many of them as live and are
still keen for pleasure; old boys who
used to run with the machine, mer-
chants, artisans. all are components OF
the Pastor audiences"
Tony Pastors fame is by no means
parochial. In the course of his life he
has invited the audiences of many
cities to join in the chorus. Who has
not heard him sing Down in the Coal
Miner" Tony had other songs-"Sarah's
Young Man." 1.-THE Girl All Dressed In
Blue"-the Evening Post huns,
Walking on the balcony,
Smoking a cig-aw,
Flahting with the pretty gels
Needless OF ma-maw;
but Down in a Coal Mine" was the
great song that will be associated IN
separately with his memory.
Even now he stands before us, in
evening dress, with the brilliant plug
hat, which he twirled nonchalantly or
jammed on the back Of his head.

is CRIME INCREASE
DUE TO OUR LAVISH
AMERICAN ATTORNEYS HEAR
QUESTION DISCUSSED
1arrister Addresses Seattle Conven-
ton on Vital Points, Giving Start
ling Statistics on Homicide.
Debate Is Sharp
By Associated Press.

BY AbHOCldlSa 4NeSS
SEATTLE, Aug. 26.-Before the
American Bar association this evening
Frederick Bausman of Seattle discussed
the question, "Are Our Laws Response
BILE for the Increase of Violent Crime r
Taking the crime of murder as the
basis for his discussion, he gave sta
tistics showing that 5000 homicides had
occurred during the past year, the
largest number in any civilized coun-
try. save only Mexico and Russia. At
the same time there were fewer con-
yictions In the United States than In
any other country.
He found two causes for the latter
fact, one the facility with which the
courts permit appeals and delays and
the other the leiency of the American
public toward murderers.
The remedies suggested were the re-
versal of public opinion through the
schools and press, and the abolition of
the death penalty in cases of homicide,
with the exception of robbery and
burglary.
A sharp debate was precipitated In
the session during the afternoon by
the report of Henry Wade Rogers, dean
Of the Yale law school, and CHAIRMAN
of the committee on legal education
and admission to the bar. He adj
vocated a four-years course for stu
dents of night schools.
This brought out protest from many
members, who deemed three years
study sufficient for the granting OF
degree and that the extra charge was
too severe on struggling young men.
The recommendation was adopted
however.
An address by former United States
Senator George Turner, on the WIZ
ming OF the Northwest was dellvereu
at che morning session.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26.-De-
tails are given in Yakutska newspapers
of a revolving case of cannibalism
among the revolving tribes of Lamuts,
living on the river Korkodin in ex-

One of the nomads there, driven
desperate by hunger, devoured the
bodies of his brothers wife and four
children.
A party of hunters came upon the
deserted encampment and found the
remains of the bodies.
The brothers body was not found
and it is not known whether he was
eaten or wandered away and persisted
in the snow.
The nomad tribes OF this region live
a precarious existence and terrible in

Resentment of His Efforts to Suppress

BALLSTOWN, N. Y, Aug. 26.-For
an hour and half the openly ex-
pressed hostility of the owners of trot-
ting horses taking part in the events
at the Saratoga county fair toward
Governor Hughes held up the racing
program at the fair grounds here.
Governor Hughes was visitor at
the fair today, and addressed a big
gathering, which gave him a hearty
greeting, and attentive hearing. The
governors presence on the grounds,
however, was resented by the horse
owners, who have taken exception to
the governors efforts - suppress bet
ting on the race tracks of the state.
AS a consequence they refused to
start their horses while the executive
was on the grounds.
The strike" of the horse owners
created an unprecedented situation and
caused the management OF the falr
marked embarrassment.
Creates Sensation
When the conditions became known
a sensation was created among the
thousands of spectators on the grounds,
and considerable pressure was put up
on the trotting men to change their
attitude and run off the races as sched-
uled.
In this the fair officials took the lead,
urging their case strongly upon the
recalcitrant owners and pointing out
the awkwardness of the situation
caused by the balk in the program.
Their efforts were fruitless, however,
the owners remaining obdurate, and
for an hour and a half refusing to
bud from their nnEiti0n.
They openly declared that Governor
Hughes had antagonized their inter-
ests and that they proposed to re-
taliate by refusing to take their horses
out on the track while he was present.
Governor Hughes was scheduled to
leave here on the 4 o'clock train and
shortly before that time he left the
fair grounds inclosure.
Immediately upon his departure the
racing proceeded. The lateness Of the
start caused the continuance of the
trotting until dark
