Philip Schuch Jr. of Denver claims
that he has discovered a cure for can
GER. The Denver Republican. in com
menting on the discovery Of Mr.. Schuch
says:
"His contention is that the baccilli in
either leprosy or cancer are more 1T
tracted by the cheese poultices than by
the human flesh, that they, therefore,
eating il and drying it, and that the
growth after sufficient number Of poul
tices have been applied is dead, possess-
ing neither healthy nor unhealthy life.
and that the action of the liquorof lime
and milk frees it from the healthy flesh
leaving a healthy wound which meals
naturally.
Great interest has been aroused all
over the country in medical circles,
where the discovery has been known
for some time, and magazine articles
already have been prepared telling of
the cure and what already has been
done.
In the formula made public yesterday
Mr.. Schuch gives the treatment in de
tail, as follows:
Liquor of quick lime mixed with
fresh sweet milk in equal measure.
Wash cancer, ulcer or gangrene sore.

GROUNDHOG FINDS
 BRIGHT SUNSHINE

If the groundhog story is worth a cent six weeks more of winter is on tap.
 It is. understood that MT. Groundhog has been residing in a comfortable hole dug deep in the side of the hill on which the weather observatory is located on Fountain Heights. The hole fronts east and from reliable sources it comes that the groundhog got up early yesterday morning to take a peep at the sky. The little animal did not even take the trouble to crawl out of his hole for no sooner did his nose come into the light than the sun shone full in his face and realizing that it was hopeless deal the little anil nal gave a grunt of disgust and crept back to the farthest depths of his sub terranean home where this morning he lies curled up and snoring peacefully to remain so for six solid weeks.
 Yesterday was an ideal day from the weather viewpoint. The sun shone bright throughout the day and the air was just crisp enough to be pleasant. The ground hog evidently knows his business to flare ye we'll" however, for although yes terday was a regular "bad cold'' day, the weather man promises no warm weather immediately.

DAYS RECORD IN

E. R. Stewart has filed a petition in court against the National Building com pany consisting of Ben T. Head, w. S. Head, R. c. Head, Lewis Minor and R. A. Brown. The petition prays for the dissolution of the company and number of the averrments border on the sensa- tional. Among other things it is claimed by the petitioner that while the com pany is capitalized at s175,0O0 in reality none of the capital stock has been paid in.
 In the first division of the criminal court the following cases were disposed of yes terday: Daisy Fish, charged with assault with intent to murder, fined s1 and taxed with the costs of the court; Tom McCabe, violating prohibition law, fined $50; Arthur Sims, carrying concealed weapons and as- sault with intent to murder, cases nolle pressed.

obligations to others without their full consent. Having been employed by the governor to represent the state and the people, in numerous cases of large im- portance, asked him if he was willing for me to withdraw from these at this time, and if my withdrawal would embar- rass him, or in his opinion, would be detrimental to the states interests. He replied that he knew, no one to engage in my place, and he would be gratified if could see my way clear to continue as counsel for the state.
 "The cases referred to are the railroad rate cases, pending in the United States court of appeals at New Orleans, which i, are to be argued on March 16 and IT, next: a suit before the interstate com merce commission, soon to be argued at Washington involving an advance of freight rates; and the foreign corporation franchise tax cases, involving about $1O0,- 900 year, which, if decided by the su- preme court of Alabama against the rail- roads, will then be carried to the supreme court of the United States.
 An employment in cases of this char acter and magnitude, involving important principles of law and large sums of money to the state and the people, is itself a emi-public trust, which I do not feel at liberty, for personal considerations, or from motives of personal ambition, to lay down, at time when my services are most needed.
 'In taking this action am endeavoring to perform the duty of the hour without thought of my personal or political fu- ture There are obvious reasons why 1t would gratify me to again occupy the position of chief justice of the supreme court, and no one has higher conception of it's honor, dignity and opportunity for service my appreciation of the wish of my friends that I accept 1t Is beyond all expression, and yet l have an abiding conviction under all the circumstances that the time Is inopportune for me to re-enter the public service, and that my duty now, not to withdraw from uncom- pleted tasks. Is plain and unmistakable."

POLICE MAKE RAID
 ON THE GAMBLERS

Chief BodelSer and his men were out and among the boys last night. Two gambling rooms and a blind tiger were raided under the personal direction of the chief and all told there were Is men arrested as the result of the raids.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock the rooms in the St. Nicholas hotel and a room in the simon building were raided in quick sue oession. In the St. Nicholas five men were arrested and in the Simon building eight men were caught. All were taken to the city jail where they were released on bond.
 Commenting on the two raids last night Chief Bodeker said: "The gambling fra ternity may believe they can successfully defy the law, but assure you that they will get all that is coming to them. Most of the gambling rooms have been closed up but there seem to be few who are attempting to run wide open. These will be shut up and the minute they show their heads again they will be popped off"
 club room located at 1201s North Twentieth street was raided early in the night. Chief Bodeker states that when he entered the place he found two men drinking beer.
 Are you gentlemen members of the club?' asked the chief.
 NO, sir" was the reply.
 Chief Bodeker then asked them where they got their beer and they told him they bought it. Asked what price they paid for it they replied "SO cents" where with they were arrested and so was the negro porter.

ASHTON SUCCUMBS
 TO LONG ILLNESS

Funeral services will be held at the residence of the father. r. Ash ton, 1903 South Eleventh street.
 James Jackson Ashton was born in Man chester, England, in 1870. He came to Coalburg in 1891 as an employe of the Sloss Iron and Steel company. When that company became the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company MT. Ashton be- came purchasing agent, which position he held at the time of his death.

He was member of the Southern and Country clubs, and until recent years was a well known figure in social and business circles.

The refusal by Judge Samuel D. Weak ley to accept the chief justiceship of the Alabama supreme court was the sub ject of much comment yesterday after noon. Governor Conner offered the posi- tion to Judge Weakley yesterday morn ing, and after a three hours conference was unable to persuade the judge to lay down the work in which he is engaged for the state, and accept an office which, he says, the people refused to give him in the last election.
 Governor Conner declared he believed the people of Alabama deserved the ser vice of the former chief justice but that he deeply appreciated the stand which Judge Weakley had taken.
 Judge Weakley issued the following statement yesterday afternoon:
 "The frequent mention of my name in connection with the approaching va cancy in the office of chief justice of the supreme court, and the tender to me of an unsolicited appointment by. the governor, which I have felt impelled to decline, require me, in justice to my self, to the friends who so loyalty sup ported me for reelection in 1906, and to those who have subsequently,, and espe- cially within the last week, expressed to me desire that I again occupy that lofty position, to make a statement upon the subject to the public.
 "When I accepted a gubernatorial ap- pointment to that affice in 1906, it was with the purpose, if the people so willed, to make it my life work. As the ap- pointment was not confirmed, I have felt that I should not apply to another gover- nor for appointment, but should seek a qualification of such desire as I might have to again become chief justice, by an appeal to the people. But the governor has said to me, without suggestion. that he would appoint me, if I wanted the office.
 My reply was that I might want it under some circumstances and not under others, and that I gould not accept it. if doing so would mean laying aside of
