SNYDER EXPLAINS
INFANTS DEATH
Doctor Claims Incubator Babies
Died Because of Weak
Electric Current
Associated Pressl

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 1S.-Dr.
Douglas Snyder and wife of Pittsburg,
who were arrested last night follow
ing the death of three incubator babies
at the state fair here, were released
on $500 bond each today. The cases
will come UP in a magistrates court
Monday morning.
The physician and his wife were
charged with "unmerciful exposure of
child" and Exhibiting for gain or
reward. an infant under 16 years of
age.'
DR. Snyder said today: my arrest
has come entirely through misguided
sentiment. 1 am not exhibiting these
babies for the money that I asked as
admission, for / would be a fool to
do so. 1 have bought this machine
and am trying to introduce it to the
public.
"As far as the babies being mis-
treated, that is all foolishness. 1 al
ways have treated these children with
the utmost care and have constantly
an expert trained nurse to watch after
them. You see, l got these babies
from the maternity hospital in Pitts
burg. Although they are normally
born infants, they were afflicted in
some way and I believed they would
have been benefited by the treatment
in the incubator They are all charity
patients, and it has always been my
plan, after raising the babies, to turn
them over to some good family for
adoptions
"The only possible cause for the
death of these babies is that the cleo
trical current at the state fair was
not sufficient"

Mrs. James Beck ForgiVeS Her
Spouse, Said to Be Vic
tim of White Plague

A woman with an ugly scar on her
neck is a frequent visitor to James
Beck, a man whom the doctors say
is dying, at the detention ward of
the county hospital. James Beck Is
the man who in wild rage over a triv-
ial matter slashed his wife's throat
with a razor in a local rooming house
about three weeks ago and then
gashed his own throat terribly with the
same weapon. The woman recovered
from her wounds and the man is near
ly recovered from his, but is said to
be mortally i'll with tuberculosis. The
woman who comes to smooth his fe-
vered pillow as he tosses on his cot
in the detention ward is the woman
whom Beck tried so hard to kill
his wife.
Mrs. Beck has never done any talk
ing about forgiveness or anything. OF
that sort. She simply says that her
husband is i'll and that she is doing
what she can to care for him. Men
tion of the cash at her throat would
simply offend her-she makes that
clear. The whole thing, her husbands s
rage, his attack with the razor and
his self-inflicted wound, are to her
merely developments of his illness"
VISITS SICK MAN
Mrs. Beck visits her husband at the
detention ward three or four times a
week and a perfect understanding now
exists between them. Mrs. Beck has
not discussed her husbands plight,
but the prosecuting officers do not be-
lieve that she can be induced to be
witness against the man. The au-
thorities are considering having Beck
examined as to his sanity. At any
rate it is doubtful If Beck will ever
be tried on the charge of assault to
murder. His memory Is practically
blank, his body is withered and gaunt
and his cheeks are hollow and color
less, The doctors say he is slowly
dying from the white plaques raw
ages. They do not believe he will ever
be able to stand before jury.
Yesterday an effort was made to
interview Beck. He apparently had no
recollection of the crime that brought
him into custody. He seemed only to
vaguely recognize the doctor who at
tended him. When his wife was mem
toned, though, he frightened UP. Eyes,
yes," he said, "she comes toNsee me-
She was here this morning-no, let's
see, maybe it was yesterday"
He scratched his head vaguely. The
reporter asked him something about
forgiveness. He looked at him blank
ly, "Of course" he said finally, 'she
was here. She comes to see me. Shes

MRS. S. ROSENTHAL
INHER|TS MILLION
Los Angeles Resident Falls Heir
to Large Estate in
New York

A resident of Los Angeles, Mrs.
Sadie Rosenthal of 22S9 Twenty ninth
place, has just fallen heir to an estate
said to be worth considerably more
than a million dollars, left by her
father, Aaron Barnett of New York
city. Mrs. Rosenthal is said to be in
New York for the purpose of settling
up the estate, but her two children
are living at the family residence here
and recently have entered school.
Mrs. Rosenthal came to Southern
California about eighteen months ago
from New York. Finding the climate
here agreed with her health she de-
termined to settle in Los Angeles.
She decided also to invite her father
to come here and reside, but when
about to pay him a visit for this pur-
pose she received news of his death.
Mrs Rosenthal was apprised of the
large fortune left her by her father,
and soon after his death went to New
York to attend to business matters
connected with the estate.
When a reporter called at the Rosen-
thai home yesterday afternoon a mid
dle-aged woman met him at the door.
She declared that Mrs. Rosenthal was
still in New York and that she had
lust received a telegram from the lat
ter saying that as soon as the estate
was settled she would return to Los
Angeles to live. The woman said she
was caring for the Rosenthal children
until their mothers return. She de-
clined to discuss the details of the
legacy left Mrs. Rosenthal, although
admitting the latter had fallen heir
to great wealth.
A dispatch from a San Francisco
newspaper stating that the Barnett
estate was being contested in New
York was shown to the woman. She
refused to discuss the alleged contest
further than to say that Mrs. Rosen-
thai was merely settling up the estate.
She declared that IL Mrs. Rosenthal
had encountered any difficulty in col
lecting her legacy she knew nothing
of 1t, and at any rate would not dis
cuss 1t in Mrs. Rosenthars absence.
Mrs. Rosenthal is expected to return
to Los Angeles in about ten days.

LIBERALS TOO STRONG AT
COURT TO SUIT TORIES

LONDON, Sept. 1S.--The Tories dis
like the way in which the Liberals are
entrenched at court. and greatly fear
that this factor win do anything but
good to the imperial cause. 1t was
practically the same in King Edwards
time. Despite the fact of the supposed
Tory leanings of his successor, it is
infinitely more so at the court of King
George.
Lord Knollys and Sir Frederick Pom
sonby are Liberals, and the former as
tonished the Tory opposition by record
ing his vote in favor of the licensing
bill, on the only occasion on which he
exercised that privilege since his ele-
walton to the peerage.
Lord Darlington, also a Liberal, has
always been a supreme favorite with
royalty, and for many years was a
kind of adviser and mentor of the
present king. AS lord great chamber

under a constitution guaranteeing

tablish the indissolubility of the union
of those states. 1t is plain now that
armed conflict over this question was
inevitable from the time the states
came together to form more per-

ton without settling the question of
the right of a state to withdraw from
that compact. The future was certain
to bring either disunion or the sealing
of the union in blood. If the differ
ence as to the dissolubility Of the
union had not arisen out of slavery,
it would have come over some other
problem. The south was deeply i'm
pressed with the righteousness of its
cause, and Lee and Jackson and the
other great leaders believed in 1t as
they did in their religion. They were
fighting for the freedom sOf their
states-not for the slavery of men
and women.
These disputes are all forever

Through 1t all he prayed and prayed.
More than once as hts brigade was
passing into action, he could be seen
sitting motionless upon his horse with
right hand uplifted, and while the
war columns swept by him in solemn
silence, into the fiery storm of shot,
his lips would move in earnest prayer

thunder of cannon, and the very air
OF the heavens seemed agonized with

You may be whatever you resolve

won. He believed that his marvellous
victories would go on to the end of the
war, and that the southern cause
would triumph, but God willed other
wise. His victory at Charlottesville
was followed soon after by his death
from the injuries inflicted by the
fire of his own soldiers, who in
the darkness of night mistook him and
his escort for the enemy. He &C.
cepted the Divine Will with that same
satisfaction he did His favors, know
ing 1t to be best AS he lay on his

He was a thunderbolt of war-energy.
He would strike at one point and in
an incredibly short time attack at
some distant place, and hurl his forces
against the weakest line of his op-
ponent. He was never routed in bat

ton of his army captured. The
battling strategy which he brought to
bear upon the opposing forces. his
furious attacks, and his remarkable
marches made his name and fame as
a leader of armies undying. While
the battle ragged he would be in the
very front of danger. and when the
crisis was passed he would retire to
his tent for prayer. His trust in the
Almighty made him fearless of all
things else. He united qualities that
seemed incompatible. by combining
genius of the highest order
with intense religious fervor. He would
never tell his plans of war even to

around him would not know what he
intended to do until the orders were
