BROOKLYN

At glance the charts show the decrease in typhoid following the installation of sewerage systems The illustration is so forcefuI that words are superfuous. The disease in the cities taken for illustration has been reduced to the minimum and typhoid is now a rare infection. Down at Bisbee, where sewerage has recently been installed, there is noticeable falling off almost a complete eradication of typhoid-ln the districts under the sewers. In other locai- ties of the city the dread disease continues to run riot The same story comes from all owe
 the world. A sewerage system guarantees low mortality figures and high rating for health fitness. It guarantees thousands of dollars in increased capital every year, the addition of scores of new families and will keep the city in perfect accord with the boom that is sure to come. Let us make the sewer question the par amount issue, and not cease in our struggle un- til the improvement has been given to the city.

RUTH BRYAN BL|SSFUL
ON SECOND WEDDING EVE
Commoner's Daughter to Wed a
Young British Millionaire
at FairvieW Today
Especial to The Herald.)

LINCOLN, Neb., May 2.-"I'm the
happiest woman in the world" laughed
Ruth Bryan Leavitt this evening as
she stood beside the strapping young
Britisher, Reginald Owen, who tomor-
row will become her husband. Then
she realized that it was a reporter that
she was talking to and blushed. Just
say she concluded, "if you must say
anything, that Reginald-that Mr..
owen and l are so glad to be among
our friends here and that we expect
to be very, very happy wherever we
CO." And then Mrs. Leavitt, or rather
Miss Bryan, as she prefers to be called
since her divorce from Artist Leavitt,
actually ran in order to escape the
insistent reporter.
Tomorrow's wedding is the culmina-
ton of a case of Glove at first sight "
Mrs Leavitt met her husband-to-be in
Colorado late last summer. Six months
prior to meeting Owen she had OBJ
tanned a divorce from William Horner
Leavitt, the artist, a man twice her
age. She had said she would never
marry again. but her meeting with Mr..
Owen changed all that
For several months past Mrs. Leavitt
has been touring in Europe, and only
returned to the home of her father,
w. j. Bryan, at Fairview, Sunday
night.
The bridegroom-to-b is only 26 years
old and is rated to be a millionaire.
He comes of a distinguished Welsh
family, which for several generations
has owned large estates on the island
of Ceylon, where Owen was born. The
young man was educated in England
and won considerable distinction few
years ago while in charge of telegraph
work for the British government in
Ireland He now holds an important
post as a member of the British engi-
neers in the West Indies, where the
young couple will reside after spending
their honeymoon in Europe.
A large number of guests have been
invited to the wedding, which will be
celebrated at the home of w. ]. Bryan
at Fairview.

Thompson Did Not Like Her Bro
theirs, Declares Anna Wells

Claiming that ]. S. Thompson's
breach of promise to marry her has
caused her to run chances of becoming
a spinster, Anna NJ. Wells filed suit
against him in the superior court yes
terday for $25, 900 damages.
She declares he asked her to marry
him during August of 1907. The we'd
ding was set for December % of the
same year. she says. In the meantime
he was called to Utah on business. Be
fore he came back she was called to
Kansas for the same reason. She re-
auested him to wait for her, she says.
Because he did not like her brothers,
she alleges, he left before she got back,
and now, she alleges, he is hiding to
escape the subpoena server.
Miss Wells declares that he repre-
sented to her that he was worth 10000,
having invested that much in Coalinga
oil. She alleges she quit her own bust
ness to please him before he left her;
that since then she has been able to
earn only SO a week and has become a
nervous wreck through worrying over
Thompson'S actions.

WAUGH! HEAP BIC
INJUN CHIEFS At
YUMA0N RAMPA ACE
Do Not Like Federal Objections to
Burning Buildings Where
Braves Have Died
ARE STRONG FOR CREMATION
Uncle Sam Will Treat His Wards
Like Children, Says LO-
cal Official
YUMA Indians are on the warpath.

W UNA Indians are on the warpath.
War paint is selling above par.
4 Uncle Sam has refused to recog-
nize a time-honored tradition that
with the braves means life after death
In the happy hunting grounds. The
tradition calls for the transportation
to those mythical fields of the bodies
of the dead, together with their per-
sonal effects their household goods,
the house itself and the building in
which they happen to shuttle off the
coil. Uncle Sam doesn't see 1t in that
way, especially when a brave happens
to die in one of his own buildings and
that building burns. He also insists
on the burial of the Indian himself
instead of his cremation, and there is
trouble brewing-trouble of such a ma
ture that District Attorney Mccormick
is working overtime and doesn't go
out to lunch, and the government Is
paying railroad fares from Yuma and
back for it's Indian agents.
A few weeks ago a heap big Injun
chief passed away. His tribe buried
him with all the pomp of his fore
fathers. Government agents were there
to sc that they buried him. But that
night they dug him up and burned him,
with everything he owned, and few
nights later they burned a government
building in which he died.
This was too much. Flaming posters
in the Indian tongue proclaimed to all
the tribe that the great father" at
Washington froWned on such perform
ances, but the braves only grunted
their disapproval and waited for the
next of their number to die
In due time he did. This time the
death took place in a tavern. He was
buried, and, despite the watchfulness
of the governments guards, he was
burned, and the tavern kept him COM
pany.
So Uncle Sam has set the machinery
of his deputies in action and is going
to make an example of somebody-big
chief or little Injun, 1t doesn't matter
which-and the once powerful tribe
down on the Yuma lands Is silently
waiting. They do not realize the con-
sequences. and If they did it would
not matter, for what is punishment
on this earth to the life to come, where
game would be plentiful and it would
be always spring, and they would not
have to wear clothes.
1--WE are dealing with children" said
United States District Attorney Nc
Cormick yesterday, "but we must up
hold the law. The status of an Indian
is hard to determine. They insist on
burning their dead and his property,
that he may carry it with him to the
happy hunting grounds. But his prop
erty, like the white mans under the
white mans law, must be probated and
distributed. I cannot foretell the out
come of this. Some of them are going
to suffer very severely If they break
the law. We can only go by that, you
know"

FELLED WITH HAIR BRUSH,
TIED TO BED BY R0BBER
Miss Ethel Shaw Victim of Day.
light Burglar at Home

Felled by a blow from a heavy metal
hairbrush, gagged with towel and
tied to a bedpost was the experience
of Miss Ethel G. Shaw at the home of
her sister, Mrs. w. F. Orchard, 1719
West Fifty-fifth street, yesterday
afternoon, according to the report re-
ceived at police headquarters last
night.
Miss Shaw, who is a telephone ope-
rator, was in her room when a man,
described as six feet tall, weighing 100
pounds, smooth shaven, well dressed,
fair, and apparently 25 years old, en-
tered.
The man was rifling the closets in the
room when Miss Shaw screamed.
Grabbing a brush he struck her on the
head and taking a towel the burglar
fastened it about Miss Shaw's face and
as she persisted in her struggles to
frighten off the man, he obtained an
other towel, placed it about the neck
of the woman and tied it to a bedpost.
Half an hour later Mrs. Orchard en-
tered the room and released her sister.
Investigation showed that 1925 had
been stolen.
A slight bruise caused by the blow
of the hairbrush and the suffering from
shock was the extent of Miss Shaws
injuries. A number of patrolmen from
the University station were detailed on
the case, but no arrest had been re-
ported at an early hour this morning.

today by the supreme court of the

The Association of Retail Lumber
Dealers in Mississippi and Louisiana

Kentucky was ousted from Tennessee
by the approval of the decree of the
supreme court of Tennessee.
Both, the state courts held, violated

Justice Lurton announced the opinion

was his first utterance from the su

tion. He accepted the findings of the
state courts and considered only
whether the status was in conflict
with the fourteenth amendment by
abridging the freedom of contract.

gagged in the retail lumber business
