NEW ORLEANS. May 5.-Declaring
that the cure of tuberculosis was not de-
pendent upon climate. and that physicians
who send their tubercular patients for

and necessary care, should be deemed
guilty of malpractice, DR.. Wallace j. Du-

of discussion in the ranks of the Louis

DOCTORSTO BATTLE
FOR CAPTAIN HAMS

FLUSHING, N. Y. May 5.-When court
opedes for today's session in the trial
of Captain Peter c. Hams. Jr.. for the
killing of William E. Annis, the indica-
tions were that the anticipated battle OF
experts would be well under way before
the session, was many hours old.
Following the examination of the two
remaining lay witnesses for the defense.
Policeman Charles W. Baker, who ar
rested the defendant after the shooting
at the Bayside Yacht club. and G. K
Weaver, called to corroborate testimony
OF alleged irrational acts of the defend
ant, introduced yesterday. the defense
to call its five alienists and to pro-
pound to them the hypothetical ques-
ton upon which they will base their
opinions of the defendants mental con-
dition at the time he shot Annis.
Apparently Rational N
Contradicting the testimony Of Roberts,
Baker said the defendant did not speak
on the trip to the police station and did
not say, as Roberts testified, that he had
used a 45-Colt automatic and showed the
policemen the holster under his coat in
which he carried it.
On cross-examination the witness sta
ted that Captain Hams answered all
questions at the police station in an APP
parently rational manner.
Charles r. Weaver said he was sales
agent COR the Hams Concrete Mixer Co,
and had known Captain Hams since
1896 He remembered August Is. very
well and said he met Captain Hsins and
his brother Thornton at the entrance OF
Brooklyn bridge on that day.
The witness described the captains APP
pearance at the time as irrational The
captain did not talk, Weaver said.
Read the Question
Mr.. Mcintyre then read the eIefense's
hypothetical question.
When he reached the point where the
alleged signed confession of the defend
ants wifi of her wrongful relations with
Annis was Incorporated. the lawyer rails
ed his voice to high pitch which, for a
moment attracted Captain Hams atten-
tion. The captain raised his head and
glanced at the lawyer, and then dropped
back into his old listless attitude. 1t was
one of the very few times during the trial
when the prisoner had exhibited any signs
of appreciation of what was going IN
around him.

SUNG BY AB0RNS
TO FULL HOUSE

verdi's I'll Trovatore," long regarded
as the most popular of the Italian
grand operas, was the welcome attrac-
ton presented by, the Aborn English
Grand Opera Company at the Newark
Theatres last night. 1t began the Sec
ond half of the weeks repertoire and
the house was filled.
Miss Bertha Davis, who sung the
role of Aida during the first half of
the week. was heard as Leonora. She
made as good an impression in this
part as she did in the Egyptian opera.
In all of the melodious arias which fell
to her-and the opera is full of them
Miss Davis acquitted herself with
credit. Possessed of a high, clear, strong
soprano, she did such favorite show
pieces as "Of Love Like This, How
vainly,' ION Rosy Wings of Love- and
WITNESS My Tears of Agony with
commendable effect. Hers was a really
good performance throughout, vocally

mands much dramatic intensity as we'll

tanning the required tragica1 note
throughout and invested the part with
a dramatic fervor which won much ap-

soprano, and not a ~cortralto, she did not
wholly satisfy with her lower register

properly effective.
