PASADENA, Sept. 26.-W. Cassie
Murdoch, former missionary in the
Congo, told at the Y, M. C. A. this aft
ernoon of the terrible conditions which
existed in that state when he was there.

of one concoction which the officials
prepared and administered to the cap
tives when their supply was short.
1t was made by chopping up green
tobacco leaves and soaking them in
water, then adding red peppers and
compelling the unfortunates to take a
drink of the stuff.

WILL PROBABLY REPEAL
ANTI-SCREEN ORDINANCE
Santa Monicans Dislike to Be Able
to See Men Drinking
at Bars

SANTA MONICA, Cal, Sept. 26.-It
is expected the city council tomorrow
light will adopt an ordinance which
will virtually repeal the old anti-screen
ordinance governing saloons. This
means that in very short time, if the
law is enacted, passersby and children
especially, will not be permitted to gaze
at the frequenters of saloons standing
at the bar drinking. Some of the good
citizens of Santa Monica declare this
has been a particularly bad feature
of the ordinance discarding screens,
which has been in effect for the past
two years. They contend that it sets a
very bad example for children and for
this reason they favorr replacing the
screens.
An ordinance covering the proposed
change was introduced in the council
meeting two weeks ago and was favor
ably discussed. No great opposition to
the ordinance has yet been manifested.

EASTERN DOCTORS ARE

PATIENTS WEST
National Association for Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis Says
Sufferers Should Be Kept
at Home

Cruel and inhuman practices are al
legged in q statement given out by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis against the
eastern doctors who persist in sending
Giving cases of consumptives to the
southwest.
Fully 71SO persons hopelessly dis
eased with tuberculosis annually come
10 die in the states of California, Ari-
zcna, New Mexico, Texas and Colo
RADIO. most of them by order of their
physicians. The statement, which IS
based on the testimony of Well-knoWn
experts. and all available statistics,
shows that at least 80 per cent OF those
who go to the southwest every year
for their health are so far advanced in
their disease that they cannot hope for
a cure in any climate, under any cir
crn1stances More than this, at least
60 per cent of these advanced cases are
SO poor that they have not sufficient
means to provide for the proper neces-
saries of life, which means that 4Sl5
consumptives are either starved to
death or forced to accept charitable re-
lief every year.
Whole Families Migrate
1t is not an uncommon thing, the ma
tional association declares, for whole
families. who can hardly eke out a liv-
in the hope of saving the life of some
member of the family. In most in
stances. the abject poverty of such
cases forces them TO beg, or to live on
o. very low level. Often consumptiVes
who cannot afford the proper travelling
accommodations are found dead on the
trains before reaching their destina-
ticn. The resources of almost every
charitable organization in the south
west are drained every year to care for
cases which would be supporting
in their eastern homes
1t costs, on an average, at least $50
per month for the support of a con-
sumptiVe in the southwest. including
some medical attention The national
association strongly urges no one to go
to this section who has not sufficient
funds to care for himself at least one
year, in addition to what his family
might require of him during this time
1t is also urged that no persons who
are far advanced with tuberculosis go
to so distant a climate.

OVER ENGLISH CHANNEL
French Aviator Makes Trip In Mon

That Followed Him.

Dover, July 25.-This sleepy sea-
port town experienced the keenest
thrill known in a generation when at
sunrise this morning white-winged,
birdlike machine with loudly hum
ming motor swept out from the haze
obscuring the sea toward the distant
French coast, and, circling twice
above the high, chalky cliffs of Dover,
alighted on English soil. A calm
Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, portly
and red mustached man of 81, de-
scended from the saddle, limping on
a bandaged foot which had been burn
ed on his previous overland flight.
Immediately two compatriots, who
had been waving a big tri-color flag
as a signal for the landing place, fell
upon him, enthusiastically embracing
him, shouting and pounding him on
the back. They, with a few soldiers

Bleriot left Les Basques, three miles
from Calais, about 4:90 a. m. on one
of the smallest monoplanes ever used.
He crossed the channel in little less
than half an hour, twice as swiftly as
the average mail boat His speed
averaged more than forty-five miles

sixty miles. He kept about $50 feet

LYNCH MURDERED.
Steward of EIks Club at Beaumont
Found Weltering In His Blood.

Beaumont, Texas, July 25.-Patrick
J. Lynch, aged 80 years, steward of
Beaumont Lodge No. 81, Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks, was
cruelty and brutally murdered be-
tween II and IL o'clock Saturday
night as he was leaving the club
rooms in the Kyle Theater building.
There is no satisfactory clue to the
murderer, whose motive was either
deliberate assault with intent to rob,
or, being caught in the act of bur-
gIary, he killed Mr.. Lynch to prevent
detection. The murder was commit
ted with a heavy instrument, with
which Mr.. Lynch was beaten over the
head until life was extinct. 1t is
thought a piece of double strength
pipe, 1 IA inches in diameter and
about four feet long, was used.
Mr.. Lynch was last seen about II
o'clock, as he was closing the club
rooms preparing to go home. His
body was found on the fourth floor
at the foot of the stirway this morn
ing by the porter of the Neches Club
