HerOism OF Masay Moros.

The action of the Magay Moros who
put out to Santa Cruz with cholera
aboard rather than take chances on
injecting this city should be published
to every native on the island with
suitable appreciation of the high
minded and heroic conduct OF these
men
To steer directly away from their
homes and friends and from medical
aid with their dead lying in their
boats, for the sake of the city, reveals
measure of heroic self-sacrifice than
which the most enlightened people
can boast of no greater. These men
should be given gold medals lettered
in their own language that their fel.
lows may know the esteem In which
We hold such conduct. This episode
furnishes an eloquent comment on the
work OF instruction that has been go-
ing on since the epidemic of 1909

had been buying from them right
along, but about once a week he com
planned bitterly by mail about some

The hardware concern looked into
his claims and settled them promptly.
They always gave him the benefit OF

But they got more claims, proportion

He had fat bank account and a nice

weakness In the community where he
lived. Every Saturday night, after the
weeks work was done. he was accus-

The vice-president read the report
carefully. Then he sent for the file
OF letters of complaint that had been
received from the out.of-town mer-

looked at their dates and compared
them with the calendar. Every one
was dated Monday morning, and the
dating stamp which marked the hour
that they were received showed that
each must have been mailed by an

Counter Charge
by Mrs. Castle
Woman Who Shot William Craig
Accuses Him of AS
sault.

NEW YORK Aug. Mrs. Mary &.
Castle OF California, the former actress,
who shot at william B. Craig, a New
York lawyer in the elevator OF the WAL
dorf-Astoria last Tuesday, attempted to
prefer counter charge against Craig
when she was arraigned in police court
today on a charge OF felonious assault.
The nature of the proposed complaint was
not announced, and the magistrate ad-
journed the hearing until Monday without
taking all the evidence.
The evidence Of Mr.. Craig and the ele-
vator operator was taken today. Craig
said Mrs. Castle met him in the Waldorf
Astoria and asked him for ten minutes
conversation. When he refused he entered
the elevator, she followed him into the
elevator and sat down. In a moment she
arose and the shot was fired. He could
not tell whether the bullet was intended
for him. He grasped Mrs. Castles wrist
and held the revolver pointed downward
until assistance came.
Craig started TO say "I have believed
that this defendant was mentally incom-
petent, and now hope"
But the magistrate stopped him by say
ing that such evidence was improper.
When Magistrate Butts adjourned the
hearing to Monday Mrs. Castle requested
that he grant her a private interview so
that she could make a complaint against
Mr.. Craig, but the magistrate refused an
interview as highly improper. The magis-
trate promised to entertain the charge on
Monday.
