DOCTOR URGES PROFESSION
TO ADVERTISE TRUTHFULLY
Daily Newspapers Declared by PresI-
dent of illinois Medical So
ciety Best Medium

QUINCY. Ill, May 19.ACloser rela-
lions between physicians and the press
were advocated by DR.. j. w. Petit,
president of the Illinois Medical So
ciety, in an address at the annual
meeting of the society.
While deprecating advertising of a
sensational nature, he called atten-
ton to the public good that could be
accomplished through publicity of the
right sort.
No agency is more potent for good
or evil than the secular press, said
DIR. Petit.
by secular press / mean more par
ticularly the newspapers that each day
reach fully 80 per cent of the reading
public. BY far the larger part of the
public, especially busy people, get
about all their general information
from the newspaper"
Concerning advertisements DR.. Petit
said: "A broad definition of advertis-
ing would include everything in an adj
vertisement, whether paid or other
wise, which is intended to benefit the
individual.
IF such an advertisement contained
the truth there could be no logical OBJ
lection to it. It is the element of
fraud, intentional or otherwise, that
makes advertising by our profession
so Objectionable. Any advertisement
devoid of eXaggeration, either eX-
pressed or implied, should be regarded
as legitimate"

MAYOR WANTS COMMITTEE
TO F10BE WATER SITUATION
Asks Recent Opponents to Name Men
on investigating
Body

PASADENA, May 19.-In redemption
of one of his campaign pledges, Mayor
Early announced tonight that he had
invited twenty-five men of the party
which opposed his election to select two
men to form the nucleus of the COM
mittee which will investigate the con-
ditions relative to the purchase by the
city of the four water companies.
The committee will be completed by
the selection of Mayor Farley of two
more men, who, with the two appoint
ed by the opposition to him at the last
election, will name the fifth member.
The committee will take entire
charge of the water situation. 1t will
thoroughly investigate the claims made
by the four companies relative to the
value of their holdings and will engage
an expert to assist it in arriving at a
correct valuation.
The report of the committee will de-
eide whether in a years time bond
election will be held to vote the neces-
sary money for the purchase of the
plants, orwheth er the matter will be
taken into the courts in the nature of
condemnation proceedings.
The city intends to purchase the
plants of the four water companies and
operate a municipal plant, but the val
uations on their properties set by the
companies are considered too high.

into the good graces of well known
Redlands family and had proposed to a
young woman of the family, although

has a wife in Los Angeles. A letter
was found on his person from Billy
Desmond of Los Angeles advising MIN

that he is also wanted at Los Angeles

WOMAN HELD PRISONER
AND BRUTALLY BEATEN
Missionary Dragged and Locked in
Shack for Three Days by
Her Captors

NEW YORK, May 19.-Miss Emma
Trotter, a missionary for the Florence
Crittenden circle at Asbury Park, re-
lated today her remarkable experience
as a prisoner of three men, who, after
having captured her, had brutally
beaten and drugged her, holding her
for three days Following her escape
last night from the shack of her cap
tors Miss Trotter made her way TO
the Florence Crittenden mission at
Asbury Park and was then so weak
that she was sent to hospital.
A telephone message requested MISS
Trotter to call at a certain house in a
good district of Asbury Park early
Saturday night in connection with her
work as a missionary. AS the door
was opened she was grabbed by three
men, who dragged her into the house:
There. she says, the men demanded
knowledge of the whereabouts OF
Charlotte Graves, a girl who had been
taken from them a week before by the
Florence Crittenden circle and sent to
a home. When she refused the in
formation they demanded, she SAID,
one of them threw his arm about her
neck and opened her mouth while an
other poured a drug down her throat.
1t was not until Monday night that
she recovered consciousness, and then
she found herself alone in the shack
on the outskirts of the city with one
of her captors
She prayed with this man and
caused him so to repent that he per-
mitted her to escape late last night.
The police, after visit to the loca-
ton described by Miss Trotter, said
there was no doubt that Miss Trotter
was telling the truth.
