South American Record.

1t appeared that there were more cases
in South America than in any other part
of the western hemisphere. there being
l2,C01 in the Argentine Republic and 1000
in the United States of Colombia On
the mainland in America there are only
lag known cases, but there are 764 In the
Hawaiian Islands and $3.50 in the Phil
ipplnes.
II was admitted that nothing had been
accomplished toward the cure of the dis
ease, and the only measure that could
be taken was the isolation Of leper pa
t1entS. A paper was read by Prof. En-
lers of Copenhagen on experiments with
understanding insects. such as fleas, lice
and mosquitoes. which had been under
suspicion as ,transmitters of the disease.
1t was shown, however. that these in
sects are practically guiltless in this con-
nection, as they can be allowed to feed
on lepers without taking the germs of
the disease into their system.
One new substance, known as nasin,
had been used to considerable extent in
treating the disease, but it had not been
proved to be essentially valuable in eff
fecting q cure. Radium has also been
used and appeared to remove individual
nodules, but was not generally applicable
to the treatment of the disease.

PLAN RADICAL CHANGES
IN METHOD OF TRAINING
Star Performers Among Midshipmen
May Receive Less superfluous
Development

WASHINGTON, May 3.--Some radi-
cal changes in the methods of physical
training of midshipmen generally in
the lines of reduction of that sort OF
work which develops star performers
who need the training least of all. Is
suggested by the special board detailed
by the superintendent of the naval
academy.
The board is of the impression that
real advantage would be gained II
physical exercises were increased with
opportunity to that end by reduction
of some other work, such as drilling.
1t is evident, it is suggested, that the
policy of the naval academy will be
that of consistent and compulsory
physical exercises along lines individ-
uaily prescribed, and the hope Is ex-
pressed by those interested to extend
the same system to the naval training
stations and to adopt 1t ultimately as
a requirement aboard ships for both
officers and men.
The headquarters of the midship-
mems training squadron this year VIII

TRY LAWYER ON CHARGE
OF KIDNAPPING PUBLISHER
Luther Brown Arraigned in San Franz
cisco and Six Jurors
Passed

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-The trial
of Luther Brown, an attorney, head OF
the detective department of the united
Railroads, for the alleged kidnapping
of Fremont Older, managing editor OF
the Bulletin, on September q, 1907, was
begun in department 6 of the superior
court today, with Judge K. ); Mahan
of Suffer county on the bench.
Six Jurors were temporarily passed
during the day and it was evident that
the impaneling of a jury to try the
case would not be a lengthy process.
Judge Frank Dunno of department
made no explanation of his reasons
for withdrawing in announcing that
Judge Mahan would try the case.
Later he stated to the press that he
had anticipated a motion for change
of venue and believed the Suffer county
Judge would be satisfactory to both
sides.
Some delay was caused when the
case was called by the fact that r.
Porter Ashe, charged jointly with
Brown, was not present. He appeared
later and the case went to separate
trial.
Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook asked that Brown be or
dered into custody at the county jail
during the trial. Judge Mahan con-
sented and refused the offer OF Attor-
new Bert Sehlesinger of the defense to
provide bail up to $4,000 if the court
so desired
Judge Mahan stated that he made it
a rule to comply with the request of
the district attorney in matters of this
kind. Cook later modified his request
and Brown is permitted to live at a
hotel in charge of a deputy sheriff
at the defendants expense

EFFORTS TO EVADE FIRE
LOSSES IN BAY CITY FAIL
Appellate Court Holds That Earth-
quake Clauses Do Not Apply
to 1906 Disaster

SAN FRANCISCO. May Sin an
opinion handed down by the United
States circuit court of appeals today
the effort of certain insurance COM
panic to bring losses sustained by fire
during the disaster in this city in 1906
under the earthquake clauses of the
policies, because the shock had broken
water mains and thus prevented the
extinguishing of the fires, was rejected
and characterized as being as trivial
as it would have been to seek the same
action on appeals because thes men
and horses of the fire department had
been injured by the earthquake.
The companies involved were the
Commercial Union Assurance company,
the Alliance Assurance company and
the Norwich Union Fire Insurance So
ciety, and the Pacific Union club was
the policyholder in each case.
Judgment for the full amount of the
policies was rendered by the lower
court in favor of the club, and appeal
was taken on en- amended answer filed
by the companies. This answer, urg-
ing the view here stated, was refused
consideration by the trial court.

FAR REACHING
oUT-0F-T0WN PEOPLE GIVE
PRAISE TO COOPER
STRONG TESTIMONY IN FAVOR
OF NEW TREATMENT
Mrs. Bronson Says Such Medicine
Would Have Saved Her Large
Sum of Money and Years
of Suffering

The reaching influence of the
good work accomplished by L. I. Coop
er during his recent visit in Los AM
geles is daily becoming more apparent.
Every mail brings to the Owl Drug
Company letters from persons outside
the city, telling of the benefit the writ
ers have derived from the use of the
Cooper medicines, and requesting that
the letters be published in the hope
that they will prove helpful to others
who are unable to find relief.
Among those who have testified to
the merits of the Cooper preparations
is Mrs. F. A Bronson of Hynes, CAL,
who says;
Il suffered for years from catarrhal
stomach trouble, and although | tried
numerous remedies and took treatment
from various doctors, nothing ever ald
me any real, permanent good until l
took a treatment of Cooper's New Dis
covery.
my stomach was nearly always
sour, and everything I ate turned to
gas, which affected my heart action,
causing palpitation to an alarming de-
gree. In fact several doctors treated
me for heart trouble. | know now that
all my distress was caused by my
stomach, for since taking the Cooper
medicine and getting my digestive Or
gans into good condition, all the other
symptoms have disappeared and feel
perfectly strong and well.
IF could have obtained such a
medicine as Cooper's New Discovery
years ago it would have saved me a
large sum of money and an inestimable
amount of suffering. 1 only trust the
publication of this bit of testimony VIII
be of benefit to someone else, tor am
sure if they will try this Cooper med
icine their misery will soon come to an
end. ADV.

ST. LOUIS, May 3.-James S. Ca
banne today obtained a divorce from
Mrs. Minnie Leonard Cabanne-Bran-
denburg and was granted the custody
of their son, whom Broughton Bran
denburg of New York recently took TO
San Francisco. Mr.. Cabanne returned
from San Francisco with the boy yes
terday.
The divorce was granted by default.
The plaintiff alleged desertlon. MRS.
Cabanne has asserted she obtained a
divorce from Cabanne in British Hon
duras before she was married TO
Brandenburg.
The hearing today lasted but twen-
ty minutes. Mr. Cabanne testified he
often had entertained Brandenburg in
his home here, but had no mixing of
improper relations between the author
and Mrs. Cabanne until he read IN a
local paper his wife had been named
in a divorce suit case filed by the first
Mrs. Brandenburg.
The abduction of the child was not
mentioned during court proceedings.
The plaintiff testified that the day on
which he had seen the newspaper no.
tice he had met Brandenburg by APP
pointment.
"I showed him the paper and asked
him if there was any truth in the
story" said Mr.. Cabanne.
HE answered, Just enough truth to
make it dangerous
Il made another appointment, but
he never kept it, and / understand he
left for ST. Louis the next day."
A letter which Mrs. Cabanne wrote
the plaintiff last December was intro
duced and extracts of it were read. In
it she said:
It am absolutely penniless and have
been so for two weeks. New York is a
cold place. I cannot support myself
and my SON and as 1 cannot allow him
to become i'll or wasted / will have to
turn him over to strangers unless you
are willing, to take him. do not ask
for sympathy for myself, because | ad-
init the wrong / have done you, but |
ask for sympathy for him."
The decree leaves Mrs. Cabanne and
Brandenburg free to marry, as the lat
ter's wife has obtained "a divorce.
