Sixteen States and Territories of the United States provide no place where the poor consumptive can be treated, except in jails and insane asylums. This statement. together with another, to the effect that not one in thirty of the victims of consumption who want , to get Tn hospitals can ind place there, fact which will mean loss to the country of S1.275, 100000, Is made by the National Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in q bulletin issued today.
 The National Association states that there are in the United States at least 800, 900 consumptitves who are so poor that they cannot pay for proper medi- cal treatment in tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals. Some of them can pay small amounts a week for their main tenance. but the great majority of them cannot pay anything. For this large class of patients the entire country has provided only 10000 beds for the free treatment of tuberculosis. In Ala bama, Arkansas. Idaho, Kansas, Mis- sissippi. Montana, Nevada. North Da- kota. Oklahoma Oregon. Philippine Is- West Virginia and Wyoming, there is no place where the consumptive with out means can be treated but in jails or insane asylums and in most cases he will get no treatment there. Six teen other States provide less than fifty beds each for poor consunptives. In only two States. Massachusetts and New York. have beds for needy tuber- culosis patients been provided, so that at least one in ten may find place for treatment. Tn many of the other States not one in, fifty of the destitute consumptitves can find bed in hos pitaI or sanatorium.
 It costs on an average about $250 to cure an incipient consumptive or to care for an advanced case until death. If he Is left in destitute circumstances without proper attention he will surely infect with his disease at least two other persons. and possibly many more.

Called to the witness stand in the
examination of Willard Beebe. charged
with burglary, in Justice Frederick
sons court yesterday, Joe Poyorena,
who declared himself an eyewitness
of young Beebe's alleged larcenous
activities in the home of Mrs. Lena
Embreve, 1856 East Twentieth street
proved to be a man of great caution,
if his testimony be true.
He told of seeing the boy enter the
house by the back way, leaving the
door open.
"I looked through and saw him in
the dresser"
I'm the dresser?" interrupted the
prosecutor.
Pulling things out of It," Poyorena
corrected himself.
What did you do?"
"Why. 1 told him he'd better go away
from there or he might get into
trouble. Then I went home, because
didn't want to get into fight"
Asked by the defendants brother II
he, Poyorena, had not been too drunk
to know what he did see, and If he
had not offered young Beebe a drink
from a bottle he carried, Poyorena de-
clared:
mo; he asked me for a drink, but
wouldn't give him any, because
want to get into any trouble"
The defendants brother, testifyins
for the defense, said he had gone to
Poyorena's house soon after the time
of the alleged burglary and found him
so drunk he could not wake him.
The case was continued until Mon
day.

Comes Complaint Against

Following the arrest of several men
in police raid on the Pacific Athletic
club, on the fourth floor of the build
ing at 535 South Broadway at an early
hour yesterday morning, and the hold
ing of five of those arrested on charges
of gambling a complaint was issued
by Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Keech for Thomas McCarey, the prize
fight promoter, charging him with per-
mitting gambling in the club. Nc
Carey is president and manager of the
Pacific Athletic club.
Five officers, Bartlett, Berchtold,
Miller, Rockoff and Pickett, took part
in the raid, which was made, they say,
after climbing the fire escape and
watching the game within for more
than an hour. No reason is given for
the release OF others arrested in the
raid, and the fact that no charges were
placed against them.
The police declare the place was
ratded once before, when as much as
7 $23, 900 was on the poker table.
OF the five men held for trial on a
charge of gambling, H. T. Faust, who
was said to be in charge of the game,
was held in the sum of 5000. The bail
of the other four, C. E. Roberts, A.
Mitchell e. Aylesworth and f, N.
Shaw, was fixed at $100 each. Bail for
all was furnished by "Tom" McCarey.
The accused pleaded not guilty when
arraigned before Judge Frederickson,
and demanded jury trial. The trial
of Faust was set for September Is, and
the others for September 16 Attorney
Robert Todd has been retained for the
defense.

URGED ON BY CUPID,

SWEETHEART'S GRACES
Prospective Lawyer Becomes Pros
pective Bridegroom, and Wedding
Bells Will Ring at Noon To-
day in Berkeley

While Cupid may laugh at law and
lawyers, the winged god had to de-
pend for his success. in at least one
case on legal examination, and in
the love affair of Melrowe Martin and
Miss Florence Elizabeth Schultz OF TINS
city, Cupid was triumphant only
through a victory which hinged on the
result of a bar examipation.
The prospective groom and MS
equally prospective bride are both
graduates from Berkeley. Melrowe
Martin took his diploma from the law
school there and Miss Florence Eliza
beth Schultz received her degree from
the college of liberal Farts. The young
woman in question received a certain
proposal of interest to her with the
remark that If Melrowe Martin sue
ceeded in getting admitted to the prac-
tice of law in Los Angeles through the
passing of the bar examinations held
this month, she would consent to let
him become her attorney for life
Martin took the recent examinations,
the results of which were posted yes
terday morning on the door of the APP
pellate court room. Needless to say
Melrowe Martin was not the last per-
son to get down to learn the results
of the examination, and 1t Is believed
that Miss Schultz showed some in
terest in the matter.
Having won in the preliminary heat
for this story would never have been
written had he not passed-the young
LAWYER is now qualified to enter into
the great endurance contest which Is
properly supposed to close only with
the ending of life. Miss Florence
elizabeth Schultz will change her name
TO Martin at noon today, and the trans
formation will take place in the Ep-
worth church.

SPOTLIGHT REVEALS
SPOUSE'S PRESENCE
Actress Speciality at orpheum Is Fatal
to Husband Detained at the
Office"-Wife Also in
Audience

The next time that James Watson
of 1904 Arlington street telephones his
wife that he won't be home to supper,
and then goes to a stag box party at
the Orpheum, he will make sure of two
things-one that his wife isn't asked
by neighbors to attend the same
theater at the same time, and the
other that there is no girl in the bill
to throw a beam of light to illumine
his bald Uranium and disclose his
presence to his better half For both
these make for peace of mind and
household.
Watson went to the Orpheum last
night, after telephoning his wife that
he was detained down town on busi-
ness. His wife was invited by a neigh
Dor to go also. She went, and had a
seat in the orchestra chairs. Watson
was perched airly in an upper box
with a bunch of good fellows. And
neither knew of the other till that
fatal beam of light came.

INQUEST WILL CLOSE LIFE
STORY OF STRANGE WOMAN
Victim of Street Car Accident Proves
to Have Been Self-Constituted
Pauper

An inquest will be held over the re-
mains of Mrs. Margaret Doyle, who
died from injuries received in being
struck by a street car at Eighth and
Spring streets last night. Death en-
sued soon after her removal to the
Crocker street hospital.
Mrs. Doyle, who was S4 years Of age,
was considered by her acquaintances to
be mentally unbalanced, a condition
due to worry over her title to acreage
near Elysian park. The realty became
hers through a division Of property
at the time of her divorce, in 1887. a
sale of the property was effected, the
price being $4,000. Mrs. Doyle refused
to accept the money, and continued to
make her living by work in a cannery.
She lived in a room at 942 Wall street.
There are no known heirs to inherit
the money preserved intact by the
aged womans refusal to receive it in
life. In death a part of it will be de-
voted to the expenses of her funeral.
