THE DRUG IDEA

The philosophy of the Drug
Idea is to give a sick person some
deadly poison that causes another
kind of sickness, or makes the
man i'll in another way. So the
patient is given disease in order
to cure him of another, or make
him immune from one. Vaccina-
ton is the injection into the system
OF virus poison-which gives
the person "A disease in order to
keep him from catching one: the
drug idea in another form.
Our belief is now that nature
never contemplated disease, but
that constant health is the most
natural thing in the world. If We
live rightly we are proof against
disease. What we want is resist
ing power or resiliency All drugs
first excite, and then reduce vital
ity. laying you open to disease.
There is really no immunity ex-
cept through health. Drugs, virus
and poisons always mean danger.
Many so-called diseases are the re-
suits of the drug habit. Vaccina-
ton kills thousand more people
than smallpox does, could or can.

BIKE THIEF CAUGHT RED
 HANDED--PUMMELED IN
 MAIN STREET BY OWNER
Police Believe Culprit Is Fellow Who Has Stolen
 Dozen of Wheels Prisoner Had Trousers Ar ranged to Jump on Any Wheel He Glanced
 to Spy

Caught in the act of stealing a bicycle from the curb near Main street and Fairfield avenue, and giv- en beating by the owner of the wheel, Mongolia Joseppe, aged 22, is believed by the police to be the thief who has been stealing on an average of one bicycle day within the last month in the immediate vicinity of the Rowland store.
 Josepee admits the single theft, says it is his only offence, and claims further that he has been in Bridge port only three days. He, says he is a miner. The police point to his soft white hands and to the elastic band about his right trousers leg as in dicating that he is not miner and is more likely professional bicycle thief. Under stress of prolonged questioning through an interpreter he admitted he could refer the po- lice to no one who could prove he had done any work for seven months.
 John Neary, 90 molder of Lindley street left his wheel at the curb about 10 this morning to buy a pair of shoes in the Douglas store. He took a seat near the window. Guess I'll watch my wheel he observed, pointing out the bicycle at the curb to Manager James Nelson and his clerks. Before Neary had a chance to buy his shoes, Joseppe' walked up to the wheel, mounted it leisurely and rode out from the sidewalk. A clerk warned Neary. He dashed out, ran to the middle of the street, and landed a haymaker on Joseppe's jaw. The thief was so serprised he couldn't raise his fists and a shower of blows fell upon his features from the en- ragged Neary as Joseppe tumbed off the bicycle.
 From passing automobile a chauf- feur leaped out ot take part in the fight and crowd quickly gathered. from Fairfield avenue and Main street, seized Joseppe from the rapidly grow ing crowd, and took both men to po- lice headquarters. Joseppe had SIP in his pocket. He said he had been in Bridgeport three days, coming here from Chicago, and that before he went to Chicago. up to seven months ago, city Joseppe says he has lived in the Italian restaurant in Water street, known as the Spaghetti house.
 The arrest of Joseppe. the police be- lieve. will put an end to the most dar- ing series of bicycle thefts they have ever encountered. Almost every day for a month, one or more bicycles have been stolen from the Rowland corner, almost under the eyes of po- licemen in plain clothes watching for the thief. Search has been made through every pawnshop and second hand store throughout the State for the lost bicycles, and only one of them has been traced. The others have van- ished completely. Where the market for the disposal of the wheels is To- cated, the police haven't been able to find

DOCTOR FINED FOR FAILING TO
 REGISTER AUTO
c. N. Haskell, M. D., Says Arrest Resulted From
 Misunderstanding.

Claiming his dereliction in the mat ter of renewal of his automobile reg istration was due to misunderstand- ing between Secretary of State Mat thew H. Rogers and himself, Dr. c. N. Haskell pleaded guilty to the charge in the city court today and paid a fine of. $15 and costs, amount ing in all to S20.47.
 The doctor was arrested by State Policeman Virelli. Information was given to Prosecutor Delaney that no less than notices had been sent the doctor of his failure to renew his reg istration. The doctor said this was untrue when Delaney brought it up before Judge Wilder in the city court today, that he had received no such notices.
 He said the misunderstanding arose from his telephoning to Secretary Rogers about the registation of a new car he planned to buy. He un- derStood from what Rogers said. he had only to register his new car, but to re-register his old one every year. The doctor was not represented by counsel. His car had been unregis- tered for more than two months.

Jeffries-Johnson fight to go 45 rounds | many have begun to figure on the things that may happen if the bat
 tie goes the full limit with nothing to | choose between the fighters.
 Jeffries, it has been asserted with
 in the past few days with more con- | fidence than at any time since he de- | clared he had "come back" can go the full route with ease. The same | claim is made for Johnson. But what
 if they go 45 rounds without either | having sufficient shade upon which
 to base a verdict.
 Will Jeffries stand for a draw after all the clamor about the restoration of the heavyweight crown to the white race?
 On behalf of Johnson, Tom Flana- gan, his manager, declares unequivo- cally that if the fight goes the pre- i scribed limit without the referee be- l ing able to call a winner, Johnson will be perfectly willing to go as far as necessary to arrive at decision, | even if a Knockout is demanded. We ont anticipate that the fight will go the limit" said Flanagan, will win long before the 45th round is reached. For this reason we nev- CT figured on the contingency of go- l ing farther than the limit called for | by the articles of the fight. eff the Jeffries crowd does not
 
 | of extra round should extra rounds be necessary, we will be ready to go ahead to the extreme limit, by which I mean Johnson will fight until either he or Jeff is knocked out" Jeffries' camp-mates treat with scorn the suggestion that Johnson will last 5 rounds. The most pessi- mistic man at Moana does not con- cede that the negro will be on his feet more than 30 rounds and the possibility of draw has never en- tered their heads. When advised of Flanagans statement Sam Berger said today:
 priuga MPsts % tss nss eh of fta er9Ssins Tne ght isn't going 45 rounds and Johnson need not figure that it will be neces- sary for Jeffries to go into extra rounds to reach a decision
 Would Jeff go beyond AS rounds if both men were on their feet at the end and Rickard unable to de- cider
 Now, there you are, trying to i cross the bridge before you reach it.' Whatever Berger's feelings may be | in the matter, Farmer Burns, who | las greater confidence in Jeffries' ability than any one in the camp, will be willing to let Jim go 100 rounds 1 if that number were necessary to l reach a decision but it will not be up to the farmer to decide this inn portant question should it arise. That a small army of physicians | has been selected to take charge of | a hospital to be maintained at the | ringside on the fight day and that | they expect to be kept busy is shown i, by the preparations in progress.

STANTON'S DEATH
 NOT ACCIDENTAL

Judge Howard J. Curtis in the Superior Court has handed down a decision in the suit of James J. Stan ton of this city against The Travellers Insurance Co.,, finding for the de- fendant.
 In Jan. 2s, 1905, the late Dr. Thomas F. Stanton took out policy with the Travellers Co. insuring him from bodily injury. In January, 1908, Dr. Stanton, while carrying baskets of earth, in the garden in the rear of his home, 374 State street, rup- tured his appendix. May he was operated upon for appendicitis. He passed away May 8, from septicae- mia. When application was made on the insurance company by James J. Stanton. brother of the dead physi- elan, for the benefit of $6,000, the company refused to pay.
 The court in it's finding is satisfied that the evidence fails to prove an accident to the deceased causing his death and says, "A person may do a certain act, the result of which may produce death, but the means are exactly what the man intended to use and did use and was prepared to use. These means were not accident al but the result might be accidental" The evidence disclosed no accidental elements. He did what he intended to do in the way he intended to do it; no stumble, no fall or involuntary actions appear"

ARRESTED AS DIAMOND THIEF
 SHE SELECTED HER ENGAGEMENT RING, WOMAN IS HER OWN LAWYER
REMARKABLY PLACID DEMEANOR OF COME LY YOUNG WOMAN BATTLES POLICE
 AND COURT A UTHORITIES
Though Two Men Swear She Concealed Ring In Gloved Hand, Court Defers Passing Judgment Until
 More Can Be Learned of Her Character

Among the most remarkable cases to fall into the hands of the Bridge port police is that of Florence Edger- ton, neatly attired, reserved, plain but comedy woman about 30, arrested last evening at the store of Max Wittstein, Jeweler at 1126 Main St. on the charge of theft. That her ar rest may blot out romance became apparent today when it was intimated she was selecting an engagement ring when she was taken into custody.
 Wittstein and another witness swore positively in the city court today that she tried to get out of the store se- creting diamond ring in her hand, and that the ring fell from her gloved hand when Wittstein forced it upon the glass show case. Maintaining a dignified reserve, conducting her own case with as resourceful tactics as might be employed by a lawyer, and protesting that the two witnesses against her were mistaken, she made such an impression upon the court officials that though the evidence ap- peared to be strong enough to war rant a conviction, they held the wom- an in bail of $200 to investigate her another arraignment on Monday.
 Miss Edgerton was arrested by De- tective Hall at Wittstein's store at 6:30 last evening. She was looking at tray of diamond rings when an- other patron who had left watch to be repaired, called at Wittstein's store.
 On the witness stand today Witt stein testified that the woman had ring in her hand as he turned his back to wait on the other customer. When he returned, in moment, she had the same ring in her hand, but another diamond ring, worth $27.50 was gone from the tray.
 She asked to have the ring she had selected. laid aside for her, and started to leave. Wittstein intercept ed her. He forced her closed hand, containing her purse, upon the show case, and he says the ring fell from

 Dr. Krause responding to an ambu- lance call found the child had a frac- ture of the skull, a broken arm and injuries. He was beyond human aid, but the doctor sped with him to the Bridgeport hospital With in an hour he died. The child was the son of Andro Novak, laborer employed with the Singer Mfg. Co.

ans hand was brought down on the show case the diamond ring fell from it.
 The woman who had been in a cell over night, took the stand to tell her story without the least show of fear and in a straightforward manner said she had been sent to the store by a friend to select ring such as she would like. She declared both the ring she had selected and the ring she was alleged to have secreted dur ing the momentary absence of Witt stein, had been laid on the counter before she started to leave the store,
 Cross examined she reluctantly gave the name of the man who had sent her to buy the ring, as John Clancy of here from Columbia, Conn, last La bor Day, and had made her home with her sister and brother-in-law, who keep a furnished room house at 24o State street. She had done no work, except what she did for her sister.
 Given a chance to avail herself of the privilege accorded attorneys, she was told if she wished she could cross examine the states witnesses She called both WittStein and Chatfeld to the stand and questioned them in de- tail as to the whereabouts of the rings. Then arguing in her behalf she said the gentlemen were mistaken about the ring appearing on the show case when she was forced back there. She declared that both the ring she intended to purchase and that she was accused of trying to steal, were on the counter as she started to walk out.
 Prosecuting Attorney Delaney told Judge Wilder he was convinced from the womans demeanor that she was not professional thief, but had sue cumbed to her first temptation at sight Of the tray of diamonds He asked for chance to investigate her character before the court passed gen. tence. and the case was continued until Monday at his request.
 Not once from the time of her ar- rest did the woman break down. On the way to headquarters from the store, she asked Detective Halls ad- vice. She said she hadn't stolen, and didn't know what she had better oo under the circumstances .s
