THE STOMACH.
Its Power to Resist Its Own Gastric
Juices Is Puzzle.

Its Power to Resist Its Own Gastric
Juices Is Puzzle.
One of the greatest questions dis
turbing the minds of Psychologists
both past and present is that of the
stomach's digesting powers. 1t is
asked why the stomach does not digest
itself. 1t is well known that gastric
juices have the power TO digest the tbs.
sue of which the stomach is made.
One of the things actually manutac-
tured by the body, secreted In the
glands near the stomach and poured
into it, is hydrochloric acid, a power
full agent that will eat up almost any
thing. Why 1t does not eat the stomach
up is problematical.
1t is known that stomach from a
dead animal or man can be digested
by a living man. 1t has been found
out also that when man IL killed
accidentally and his stomach is In the
process of digesting, If the body be
kept warm. his whole stomach will be
digested and possibly. too, adjacent
organs, as liver. pancreas, etc. From
this 1t was argued that the principle
Of life" kept the process from going
on in a living being. Subsequently,
however, this was proved to be untrue.
A living frog was put in an uncon.
scious condition and his leg inserted
through small hole In a dogs
stomach, the dog being alive and well
1t was found that the frogs leg was
wholly digested In the process. al
though living. So the last reason con-
ceivable was proved incapable of ex-
planning the phenomenon.
About the only conclusion left is that
the stomach does gradually actually
eat itself up, but that 1t is being con-
stantly rebuilt However, as this ex-
pertinent is hard to perform and as no
results have so far been announced in
this direction. we are left in state of
absolute ignorance, and all we can do
is to be devoutly thankful to Provi-
dence that our stomachs do not digest
themselves except In the ordinary
course Of human events.-Lawrence
Hodges In New York Tribune.

Lovers of Sports.

The Anglo-Saxons love sport. Nc
matter in what part of the world they
are found the spirit is strong among
them. Wherever the restless Anglo
Saxon dominates the love of sport is
dominant. The Americans are-at
least the most of them-descendants of
this virile race. and nowhere is the
love Of sport so much exhibited as in
this country. Our people are patrons
of horse racing. of baseball, of golf. of
football, OF all out of door sports as no
other people. The English are great
sportsmen. but not to the extent that
Americans are. for the reason that the
opportunities are greater here.-Nash-

BABY MYSTERY
SOLVED; HOAX
MRS. WILSON ADMITS Chill
DREN NOT. HER OWN
DESIRE TO BREAK RECORD MO-
TIVE FOR HER ACTION
Infants Range in Age from Two Days
to Two Months-BorroWed
Especially for the
Occasion

The mystery of the Wilson quadrup-
let's was solved last night, when Mrs.
w. w Wilson, supposed mother of the
four children, fearing that the truth
would be brought out sooner or later,
broke down and made a confession.
The confession was made first to
DR.. l.. NJ Powers, health officer, and
then to her husband and to her mother.
Mrs. G. Leona Marsters. Mrs. Wilson
told how the hoax had been planned
and how the babies had been delivered
to her by Mrs. Lena Hayes and Mrs.
Catherine C. Smith.
Mrs. Wilson's only reason for per-
pretrating the hoax was that she want
ed to break all existing records and
as she had succeeded so well in pre-
vious cases, she thought she would be
able to carry this one out without be-
ing detected.
The confession was brought about by
Mrs. Marsters, who after discovering
that the babies ranged in age from two
hours to two months, told Mrs. Will
son that the truth was known and
she had better tell which, if any, of the
children were hers. If they were not
hers, Mrs. Marsters told her, the babies
would be taken from the house. 1t was
then that Mrs. Wilson broke down
and told the story from the beginning
to the end.
The babies were procured from Mrs.
Hayes and Mrs. Smith, who declare
that one of the children was taken
from the Clara Barton hospital one
from the county hospital, one from
DR.. Jones and the other from Mrs.
Smiths residence.
The first triplets and the twins were
Mrs. Wilson's, said Mrs. Marsters, and
also two of the babies of the second
pair of triplets, but the third baby of
the trio was borrowed.
Mrs Wilson, after losing one of
her own children, has grieved greatly
over the loss and has at times become
irrational;s has always had a mania
for children and I'm sure that she was
insane when this hoax was planned or
she would not have done it." declared
Mrs. Marsters.
Mr.. Wilson, Mrs. Marsters and
friends are doing everything in their
power to save Mrs. Wilson'S mind, as
| it is feared that the strain and worry
incident to the exposure may result in
| insanity.

Secretary John w. Huntsberger of

cause former Kansas women now liv-

The club was organized on lines es-
tablished in the original Kansas Day
club, which meets at Topeka annually
to celebrate the admission of Kansas
as state. AS a result it was hide
bound bachelor affair-until the wo-
men related to the members heard
about it. Immediately there rose a
tremendous hubbub resembling in min
iature a suffragette movement and
there will be feminine Kansans at the
banquet table.
So many have applied that Secretary
Huntsberger has announced that he
will close his list Friday afternoon,
and former Kansans who desire to at
tend the banquet must obtain tickets
from him at 707 Grant building or
telephone their reservations before
that time. The banquet is the first OBJ
servation of Kansas day, January

MAY ADD MURDER
TO BIGAMY CHARGES
Eastern Officers with Requisition
Papers for Count Won Muller
Assert Man Is Grave
Offender

That the finding of the mutilated
body of q woman in Harlem led to
Count Won Mullers arrest here on
charges of bisamy preferred in the
east; and that the alleged bigamist may
be a murderer as we'll as the husband
of many women, was the statement of
Detectives Mcdonald and Weinthal, at
tached 20 the district attorneys office
in Hoboken, N. J., who arrived IN
Los Angeles yesterday for Muller
armed with requisition papers signed
by Governor Gillett.
When Muller was led into the pre-
sence of the eastern detectives yeSter-
day they identified him without an in
stant's hesitation as the man wanted
for bigamy, and, possibly murder, in
the east. Muller paled under their
scrutiny and nervously polished his
gold-rimmed spectieles with his hand
kerchief. He has denied ever since
his arrest that he was the man wanted
in the east.
According to the detectives Muller
is a smooth article" and has married
more than eight different women. His
plan, they say was to establish him
self in their good graces, either marry
or engage himself to them, and then
take their property or money. Ser
want girls as well as heiresses were
included in his operations. They state
they have record OF MS deffaudlns d

SPEAKS FOR CHANGE
OF THE LIQUOR LAWS
COMMISSIONER TOPHAM GIVES
HIS REASONS
Believes That Wholesalers and Women
Should Be Divorced Entirely
from the Retail
Traffic

Good reasons why the city's liquor
laws should be changed were given to
the Federation club by Police Commits
sioner John Topham in an address be-
fore that body at it's regular weekly
luncheon yesterday.
Mr.. Topham told the large audience
of his experiences while he was inves-
tigating the brewery control of the re-
tail liquor business. He told of the
great odds the police commission is en-
countering in its efforts to clean up the
liquor business and how ramitications
of the business extended into other
lines of business considered highly re-
spectacle.
The speaker advocated a number of
amendments to the existing liquor
laws. They were the following:
IAN amendment abolishing the pres
ent frontage requirements, to wit: The
consent of the property owners rep
resenting two-thirds of the frontage on
both sides the street in the block.
Accompanying this amendment
should be one prohibiting the further
establishment of liquor houses on
Broadway, and providing for the ex-
tinction of those already in existence
there when the permits for them ex-
pire. Broadway should be kept free or
liquor houses, as it is woman's street.
also accompanying the amendment
should be one comforting the power on
the property owners in any block with
in the liquor zone representing ma
jority of the frontage to close the said
block against any further introduction
of liquor houses therein, and providing
for the extinction of those already there
when their permits expire.
'An amendment. prohibiting the en-
ployment of women to serve liquor in
restaurants and saloons.
IAN amendment prohibiting the pres
ence after 9 o'clock p. m. in places
where liquors are sold of women UNI
attended by male escorts over the age
of 81 years. This for the purpose OF
getting rid of the disorderly women
who hang around liquor selng res
taurants at night.
"An amendment prohibiting proprie-
tors of restaurants from allowing the
sale in their places of liquors from any
outside sources. This to get rid of the
sale of LIQUOR in restaurants without
bona fde meals, as many OF them now
serve their liquors on six days OF the
week from saloons.
"An amendment prohibiting the de-
livery of liquors anywhere in the city
unless the name and address of the
consignee be marked upon each pack
age. This to prevent the peddling OF
liquors by the breweries ana WhoIesale
houses.
San amendment limiting the life of a
viouor hermit to one year, making all
renewable on the first of each year, and
the renewal on the fling
of an affidavit showing no change OF
or control, and on good be-
haVior."

FEMALE RAFFLES IS
RELEASED ON PROBATION
Rosa Buser, Whose Criminal Tenden-

probation for two years by Judge Davis
Yesterday, and was released from the
county jail to go with her half sis
tiers. Mrs. Lena Patterson, Mrs, Julia
Poponoe and Mrs. Caroline Morse.
Miss Buser robbed the home of Frank
Nelson, 939 South Olive street, of sew
eral articles of jewelry November 26.
The idea of stealing was generated in
her mind, it is said, at a moving pic
ture show, where she witnessed on the
screen the apparently daring and all
ways successful robberies committed
by a young girl.

BRAND CONTRACTORS AS
IRRESPONSIBLE BIDDERS
Board of Public Works VIII EndeaVoT
to Collect on Bond of D. M.
Leary

J. H, Melville and D. M. Leary were
yesterday declared irresponsible bidders
by the board of public works, and they
will not again be permitted to receive
contracts for city work. In ADDITION
to declaring Leary an irresponsible
bidder, the board will ask the councll
to instruct the city attorney to begin
legal proceedings to collect on Leary 5
bond.
Melville is in the employ of Ramish
81 Marsh, contractors, and several
months ago submitted a bid for teams
and sprinkling wagons to be used by
the street department. 1t was sus-
pected at that time he was acting as
agent for Ramish & Marsh, who held
the contract when bids were submit
ted. Melville's was the lowest of sew
eral bids, and he was awarded the
contract. In fact, his bid was much
lower than had been expected, but 1t
d sveloped he had intended to use
sprinkling wagons other than the kind
the specifications called for. When
he learned he could not use these
wagons he refused to enter into the
contract, and the board referred the
matter to the city attorney for in
structions as to what could be done.
The city attorney yesterday advised
the board that Melville could be de-
clared an irresponsible bidder.
Leary was the lowest bidder for a
street improvement job. After bids
for the work were opened and Leary
found he was much lower than the
next man, he declared he had made a
mistake in his figures and refused to
enter into the contract within the time
limit set. For this reason he was de-
clared an irresponsible bidder, and it
was necessary to again advertise for
bids. When he filed his bid Leary also
submitted a bond guaranteeing to
enter into the contract, and the board
wants the city attorney to collect on
the bond the difference between the
amount for which Leary offered to do
the work and the price for which it
xryae finally Iet
