WOMAN SAYS She
WAS fLEECEO IN
POKER GAME
Lost Her Roll and $3.50 Diamond
Ring in Session With Three Men
In Pontchartrain, She
Tells Police.
Sharpers Flee After Shearing Victim,
Mrs. =. Hunt, of Buffalo
Warrants Issued.

With apartments In the Pontchar'
train forming the palatial setting, the
saddest poker tragedy Of many moons
was successfully played by cast OF
clever card sharks last Monday morn
ing. Mrs. H. Hunt. of Buffalo, gave
an excellent performance In the role
of the victim. She was quite shorn
when she appeared In police court
Saturday morning, and told Judge
Stein that she was minus not only all
her cash. but q diamond ring, valued
at $3.50.
Edward whelan was the deep-dyed
william. He likewise halls from Buf.
falo. His accomplices are persons
whose last names are Bradley and
Ziegler. alias Johnson. The trio have
disappeared. Warrants have been Sc
cured for them.
The prologue was staged on one OF
the d. q B. boats, coming across Lake
Erie from Buffalo. Mrs. Hunt came
with q woman friend to attend the
Windsor races. She was looking for
the good thing to be sprung at the
Windsor track. She proved to be
most excellent fleeing herself.
There were no staterooms to be
procured. The night was stuffy and
hot. She and her friend, to vile
away the hours, decided upon an In
nocent game of poker-with matches.
At this point, enter Whelan. He had
known Mrs. Hunt In Buffalo. He was
charmed to meet her on the boat and
would she meet his very dear friends,
Mr. Bradley and Mr.. Ziegan. The rest
Of the trip across was quite pleasant.
II was quite q coincidence that they
should all have taken rooms In the
Pontchartrain, the women having
apartments one floor below the men.
Mrs. Hunt and Mr.. Whelan naturally
met again. Mr.. Whelan was her very
good friend and he had quiet little
trip for her. One OF his friends had
coolies OF cash and he was quite reck-
less at poker and VOTED not how
much he lost. A quiet little game
might prove quite remuneration to
Mrs. Hunt and her friend.
SO II was arranged for last Mon.
day morning at IL o'clock. They met
In the womens rooms. The cards
and chips were there. The game pro-
crossed quite merrily. Mrs. Hunt won
Just q little. Then she lost. Her
hands were quite aggravating. They
were excellent to draw to, but the
draw invariably failed to better her
prospects.
Bradley lost heavily. He was out
e65 when he quit the game. 1t pro-
crossed without him. The limit was
raised until II reached almost to the
roof OF the hotel. Mrs. Hunt lost all
her ready cash. Then came the dia-
mond ring. She AYERS that 1t took
less than Is minutes for them to get
that away from her.
Still she wasn't wise. Whelan was
consoling. He told her that Ziegler
was having lot of fool luck. He was
the original E.-Z. Mark. and he advis-
ed her to get hold of some more cash
and come back and trim him.
She took the advice. She went out
20 get a trifiing $500 or so and the
game was postponed until later In
the day.
The postponement was never play.

alias Johnson. likewise had flown
when the lamb returned for further
fleeing.

Not An Acre of Wenatchee Orchard
Land, But Character.

A postage stamp may be small and
of little value, but it sometimes por-
trays the character of some people.
1t so happened that a stamp had been
left at the general delivery window
at the post Office yesterday and
woman with little girl came in and
the little girl took the stamp. Now,
the thought is this, that little stamp
simply revealed the character of that
individual and who could trust such
a one? And again, what will be the
final outcome of the child that has
such training? Perhaps few people
realize the influence of early train
ing. The wise man said: Train

when he is old he will not depart
from it, Prov. 1915.
Now there is no doubt that the
party does not want to see her child
go for the worse. While this is but

the outcome? You may think it was

Public Health Militia---More IT,

J. Rosenau, of the Harvard medi-

liYered today. 1.-The annual total is
$4,000 deaths and over $50, 600
cases. This is a national disgrace
and is due entirely to lack of edu-
cation on the subject. We probably
know more about typhoid and its
methods of spread and the means
for it's control than we do of any
other disease. Yet right here in our
Capital City there is an excessive
amount of typhoid and this sad story
finds repetition in all our large cities.

Citizens as Health Militia.
I'm advocating public health mi
litia in the cause of preventive medi-
cine, / do not mean marching col
umn of men in uniforms, armed with
microscopes and disinfectants. The
public health militia that / have in
mind calls for the enrolment of all
good citizens. Preventive medicine
is the watchword of the hour and
enlistment in the cause can come
only through education.
There are two important factors
in public health work. One is the
gaining of ney knowledge through
scientific research; the other is the
diffusion of this knowledge through
education. With prophetic foresight
and characteristic energy. Harvard
university has established chair of
preventive medicine as an integral
part of it's educational system. Not
only the medical profession, but the
public at large should be enlightened.
The scientific and professional corps
may be the regular army, but the
public must be the reserve militia in
any effective warfare against dis
ease.
Typhoid Fever Preventable.
When the people understand that
typhoid fever is as preventable as are
railroad accidents we shall have a
casus belli, and the courage needed
for victorious campaign. The gov
eminent now protects us from chol-
era, leprosy, yellow fever and other
exotic plaques; why should it not
also guard us against the dangers
that are present as well as those that
are but remotely imminent? Pres
ent dangers, such as tuberculosis,
pneumonia. typhoid fever and in
fantile diarrhoea, are infections
which reap the highest toll of death
among us and are foemen worthy of
our best efforts.
When this matter is better un-
derstood, the state will be required
to protect its citizens against such
preventable diseases and the officials
appointed to safeguard us will be
held responsible just as the law now
holds employers now liable for pre-
ventable accidents. Organizations
like life insurance companies with
their legions of doctors, armies of
agents and hosts of patrons could
lend an effective and useful hand in
the worthy warfare against disease.
The life insurance officials not only
as organizations, but as individual
citizens, could and should help in
this campaign of education and
ought to foster fruitful ana useful
legislation Of a public health char
acter.
1T is the plain duty of the public
health militia to see that our gov
crning bodies, whether the federal
government, the state legislatures or
the municipal assemblies enact pub
lie health measures of an obvious
useful and tried nature and also pro-
vide for their enforcement"

GIRL WITH VOICE
Of GOLD

New York, Jan. 22.-"My heart
felt thanks to all the men and women
who have been so kind to me. / did
not know there were so many nice
people in the world" were the part
ing words of Mary La Sale. who sail
ed today for Europe to spend year
In study before becoming grand
opera star. If the judgment of COM
petent critics is confirmed Miss La
Sale is destined to become the
worlds greatest soprano singer.
Only short time ago Miss La Sale
was virtually without friends or
money. The death of her father in
Beatrice, Neb., had left her an or
phan. Her voice obtained for her a
position as a chorus singer in a mu-
steal comedy company. Ricardo
Martin, the celebrated tenor, CHANGED
to hear her sing and pronounced her
voice to be the most wonderful he
nad ever heard.
The orphan girl was advised to
come to New York She arrived in
the city without funds and appealed
to the grand opera managers for a
trial. Guilio Gatti-Casazza, the direc-
tor of the Metropolitan Opera house,
heard the young girl sing and agreed
with Ricardo Martin that her voice
was the most marvellous soprano he
had ever heard, even exceeding the
natural voice of Nine. Media.
Thereafter the fortunes of the
poor orphan girl began to brighten.
New Workers of wealth and social
prominence fastened to give her aid.
Several thousand dollars were con-
tributed to send her to Europe, where
she is to study for year under Macs
tro lombard 1t is agreed that when
her year of preparation is ended Miss
La Sale shall return to America to
become one of the star sopranos of
the Metropolitan company.
