TO CURE LEPROSY BY
USE or X-RAY LIGHT
Expert Doctor Claims Electric Remedy
Apparently Is Only Effcaclous
in Earlier Stages Of
Disease

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The X-ray
as a cure for some cases of leprosy
has been demonstrated by tht Ameri-
can health authorities in the Philip
pines, according to DR.. Victor D
Heller, quarantine officer in the ISL
andS.
DR.. Heizer. in report to Surgeon
General Wyman of the public health
and marine hospital service, says the
X-ray is suitable only for specially
selected cases and is valuable apparent
ly only in the earlier stages. Sar
Lazro hospital at Manila was the first
institution in the world to use the X
ray for leprosy treatment.
official figures show that March 81
1909, there were 2446 lepers in the
Philippines, segregation having reduced
by more than 1000 the number of cases
during the last two years.
At the beginning of the American oc-
cupation eleven years ago there were
nearly 1000 lepers.
Americans perfected the establish
ment for lepers on the island of Cutler
in 1906. 1t is estimated under the
Spanish regime 700 new cases de-
veloped every year. At present the
number of new cases averages 300 an
nually.

PROVISIONAL BODY
FLIES GREClAN FLAG
Indications Are Crete viii Not Lower
CoIors as Directed by Powers.
Result May Be Land
ing of Troops

CANEA, Island of Crete, Aug. 16.-
The provisional administrative COM
mittee to which the administration of
the island was entrusted when the
Cretan cabinet resigned Sunday took
the oath of allegiance to the king and
kingdom of Greece today.
This action apparently indicates that
il is not the committees intention to
meet the demands of the protecting
powers to haul down the Greek flag,
and that therefore the powers again
will be forced to land troops to insure
the autonomy of the island.

HUNGARIAN CONSUL WRITES
 ID SLOAN
ASKS AGIZoNA'S GOVERNOR TO SEE THAT PROPER JUSTICE
 IS GIVEN ZIGICH
RECIPES STORY OF sHOOT|Ns
STRONG EFFORT WILL FEE MADE TO SECURE CONVICTION
 OF BOB EDWARDS

l That strong undercurrent of feeling exists among the Austro- Hungarian ele ment in this city, against Deputy Mar shal Bob Edwards, for his action il killing Mark Zigich, or John Columbo as be was generally known, is evidenced | by the fact that the matter has beel taken up with Governor Sloan by thu imperial and royal Austro- Hungarian consul, at San Francisco. A copy of the letter written to th' governor by the acting consul has beei forwarded to District Attorney Georg' Shute. The consul requests that th matter be investigated very carefully but from the context of the letter, th' side of the story told by friends of th' dead man and not by Edwards, ha been given the consul.
 The letter in part, is as follows: ] From statements received at this oi fee, it appears that Zigich, who wit messed the maltreatment of the propr, etor of the saloon at the hands of tn police officer, Edwards, pleaded witt the latter to desist from further un merciful punishment of the already prostrate man. This is said to have s' incensed Edwards that he, without tn,
 east provocation, shot Zigich in col, | blood.
 This alleged wanton murder of an in nocent man naturally has greatly ex cited our people in Arizona, especial. as the deceased, who enjoyed yer, good reputation, leaves behind him sur | viving, a wife, two minor children ant blind aged mother, whose support h wac.
 Since fear is expressed by our sub | jects that the authorities may not pIo ceed in this ease with the necessar, rigor, I take the liberty to call you excellency's kind attention to this mat | ter, respectfully requesting that yo' lend your powerful infuerce to tn end that careful investigation be ha' and that full justice be done in th premises.
 The status of the shooting, as hell by the Hungarian consul, does not co' respond with the testimony intloduce, at the inquest held over the remain of the dead man.
 Edwards ease will probably be takei mp by the grand jury, within shor time, as a transcript of the evidenc introduced at the inquest has alread. been prepared.
