Aid. Ellis also declared the measure
dangerous and one that the people

ANOTHER HARP00N
/ READY FOR D. j. R.
Aid. Garvey Proposes Repeal Of
Three-Cent Lines Franchises If
Service Isn't Improved.

Aid. John Carney, Democrat, intro
duced a resolution and ordinance OF
such wide scope in the council Tuesday
night. that the aldermen hesitated to
take any action on them. The resolu'
ton recites the conditions or poor SER
vice prevailing on the Crosstown,
Fourteenth and Sherman lines. and the
ordinance is for the purpose or repeal
ing the franchises for these lines II
the service is not improved within so
days
Passage OF this ordinance would
mean wiping out the franchise right
for all OF the three-cent car lines ex-
cept possibly the Harper-ave. line,
which Is not mentioned specifically In
the ordinance, but might be covered
by the repeal nevertheless. Corpor-
alton Counsel Hally drew up both reso-
luton and ordinance at the request OF
Aid. Carney.
Aid. Vernon, Gutman. Ellis. Frei-
valid. Watson and Allan objected TO
hasty passage OF any street railway
legislation and had both measures sent
to the franchise committee. which Will
probably meet next Tuesday morning.
While the Garvey resolution is in
tended. primarily. TO force the ID. u.
r. to give better service upon its
three-cent lines, there would be an
interesting situation precipitated IL the
company did not or could not give sat
isfactory service within the month al

ordinance then. IL upheld by the courts,

franchise rights OF the company in the
downtown section OF the city. Ac-
cording to Corporation Counsel Hally.
the city would be IN a position to en-
force regulations regarding service,
fares and all such matters as long as
the regulations were reasonable.
II is certain that the matter would
speedily get into the courts. Just
how long it would take TO determine
the respective rights OF the city and
the traction company Is a difficult mat
ter to predict. The next significant
portion OF the Garvey resolution fol-
lows:

COUPON BOOKS MUST
BE REDEEMED

Because of defects of the tariff
under which so-called exchange
scrip books were issued by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road, the interstate commerce COM
mission has held that the provision
in the tariff limi'.1g the right of
purchaser to demand redemption Of
unused coupons to period of Is
months was not valid.
The commission awarded rcpara-
ton to complainant for the un-
used coupons, although presented
for redemption after the period had
expired
The commission passed over the
question of the legality of the use
of such scrip books by Interstate
carriers. These books, instead of
emitting the holder to transporta-
ton, contain coupons valued at 5
cents each in the purchase of any
passenger ticket over the Santa Fe
and other numerous lines in the
| MeXico-Arizona-T Texas territory.
In exchange for these tickets the
roads detach enough coupons to
make at their face value the sum
of the regularly published tariff.
When all the coupons are ex-
! hausted the railroad joint scrip bu-
reau allows all travellers n cash re-
fund.

SURGERY CURE
FOR ALCOHOLISM

A recent contribution to national
medical literature deals with an
original method of treating alcohol
ism. The writer, DR.. j. w. Ken
ney, of San Antonio, Texas, de-
clares that the only means of cur
ing alcoholics is by surgery. In
proof of his contention, he cites a
series of cases so treated by him,
asserting that in a majority of them
a cure was effected. His article,
entitled THE Alcoholic Case and a
Surgical Operation for the Cure of
Chronic Alcoholism, appeared in
the current issue of the Texas Med
ical Journal.
DR.. Kenney's method is to make
an artificial opening in the stom-
ach, loop up the jejunum Ga part
of the intestine), make an artificial
opening in the jejunum, and unite
the two artificial openings. The
operation is called a gastro-jejun-
ostomy Here are DR.. Kenney's
reasons for resorting to this oper-
alton:
Because medical treat
ment fails in a majority if not in
all cases, and must necessarily con.
tinue to fail because it does not re-
move the cause of the gnawing OF
craving for alcohol.
Second Because the patholog
| ical condition caused by alcohol is
almost identical with the patholog
ical conditions produced by othel
causes which are relieved by sur
gical treatment.
The drunkard in giving a his
tory of his case usually points tt
his stomach as the cause of hi
drinking. Very few claim that tn,
| taste for liquor has anything t.
! do with it. In the stomach viii
also be found the first evidence tina
the physical basis of llfe-proto
plasm--has been injured, and thu
physical structure of that organ i
the first to present pathological con
ditions.
1T has been proven that alcoho
stimulates the action of the sense
and organs of the body for shor
time. This supra-normal condition
is quickly followed by the mira
normal, which indicates a partia
paralysis of the nerve ends an
. eventually of the nerve centers.
