GOVERNOR CARROLL ON TRIAL
lowa's Executive Accused of Criminal
Libel.

Des Moines, Sept 20,-In the Polk
county criminal court Governor Car
roll was placed on trial for criminal
libel on charges preferred against him
by John Cownie, former member OF
the state board of control, and based
on an article which appeared in the
Des Moines Daily Capital purporting
to come from the governor.
Under the Iowa law the state must
prove only that the governor author,
lied the article and leave it for the
jury to decide whether or not it is
criminal libel. The defense of the gov
ernor to this will be the alleged truth
of the accusations contained. This
will be the governors case and the
testimony promises to be highly sen
sational. The state will offer testi
mony in rebuttal to that offered by the
governor and the case will probably
extend over two or three weeks.
When the case was called there was
a notable array of legal talent about
the counsel's table.

MAN HIGHER UP
is SENTENCED
Charles R. Heike to Serve
Eight Months in Jail.
WILL APPEAL THE CASE

Former Official of American Sugar Re-
finng Company Secures a Stay OF
Execution Until Higher Court
Passes en- the QueStion-Culmina-
tion of Government Prosecution Of
Underweighing Frauds.
New York, Sept. 20.-Charles r.
Heike, former secretary and treasurer
of the American Sugar Refining com
pany, who has been called "the man
higher up" in the sugar trust, was
sentenced by Judge Martin in the
United States circuit court to serve
eight months in the New York peni-
tentiary on Blackwells island and pay
fine of $4,000 on conviction of con-
spring to defraud the United States
government by the underweighing of
sugar
Judge Martin granted a stay of ex-
ecution of the sentence pending an
court of appeals The court also re-
duced Heike's bail, which had been
$4,000 pending sentence since his
conviction last June, to $4,000.
Heike's sentence is the eliminating
point in the federal government s
prosecution of the American Sugar
Refining company officials and EN-
ployes, growing out of the extensive
underweighing frauds on the Williams
burg docks of the trust, brought to
light by Richard PARIS famous raid
on the docks in 1907.
Five Previous Convictions.
Four weighers for the company and
Oliver Splitter, their dock boss, were
convicted on the first criminal trial.
The weighers are still serving out
their sentence of year in the Black
wells island penitentiary Splitter,
who was sentenced to two years in
the Atlanta penitentiary, was par.
doned during the trial of Heike, Err
nest w. Gerbracht, the refinery super
intendent, and four minor employees of
the company for conspiracy. He
turned states evidence and his testi-
mony played an important part in the
conviction of the defendants. The SUI
gar company meanwhile had paid the
government more than S2,000,000 out
of which it was shown the customs
had been defrauded by the under
weighing operations.
Heike's case was a long time COM
ing to trial, as he first pleaded i'm
munity, because of the testimony
which he had given before the federal
grand jury in another sugar company
proceeding. His plea, however was
overruled by the United States SUI
preme court Gerbracht was sentenced
last week to two years i'm the peniten-
tiary at Atlanta and to pay a fine of
$4,000, but was allowed a stay pend
ing appeal.

BABY's SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called In a DOCTOR
He said 1t was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors In Atchison
but he only got worse His face, head
and hands were solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours OF the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and half to see II 1t would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason.

Drunk on Ether.

Ether is consumed by gallons to
get drunk on in small part of Scot
land. The origin of this peculiar and
limited abuse is strange. In 184S
bad epidemic Of cholera broke out in
Glasgow. Among those flying from it
were some who came back to Drap-
erstown, their native place. With
them they brought a cholera mix
ture which they found exceeding
comforting" A rascally doctor, know
ing that the comfort proceeded from
ether, laid in a whole cask He made
his fortune. and started the habit
that lasts till yet. Ether is sold over
counters in Scotland. the penny

two or tire ounces a day, but one
half ounce is one big dram in water

HAVE ANTlDOTE FOR LOCKJAW
tered This Dreaded Scourge
of Mankind.

The popular belief that a wound
from treading on rusty nail is very
likely to cause tetanus Is quite correct.
This is not because 1t is a nail or Is
rusty, but because by lying on the
ground 1t has become infected with
the germs of lockjaw. Moreover as
the punctured wound caused by the
nail bleeds but little and this blood
dries up and excludes the air, the most
favorable conditions for the develop
ment of tetanus exist, for, as Kitasato
the Japanese bacteriologist, proved
the absence of oxygen is most favor
able for the growth of the germ.
The germ itself looks very much
like a tack according to writer in
Harper's Monthly; 1t is so virulent
that its toxin in doses of 1-200, 000th of
teaspoonful will kill mouse. 1t has
been found by experiment that the
poison is carried up to the spinal cord
not by tie absorbents nor the blood
vessels, as are other poisons, but
through the motor nerves.
Fortunately an anti-poison or anti
dote has been developed, but SO
prompt is the action of the poison that
in an animal two minutes after the in
lection of fatal dose of the poison
twice as much of the remedy is re-
CURED as if it had been administered
with the poison; after eight minutes
ten times the amount and for ninety
minutes forty times the original
amount Is necessary. This antitoxin
is entirely harmless.
AS result of antiseptic methods
lockjaw is now almost unknown ex-
cept after neglected wounds, instead
of being frequent as it formerly was.
When it is feared the antitoxin is used
as a preventive and when it has de-
veloped as a cure. In animals, for ma
turally horses suffer enormously more
frequently than man, the same anti
toxin is used. In 1913 horses that had
operations performed on them, but
were protected by the antitoxin, not
one developed tetanus, whereas of
eight cases unprotected by the anti
toxin five developed tetanus.
