IN HEART OF CITY.
Suspected case of Cholera in Bellevue
Hospital, n. \.

New York, July 22.-The cholera
guard today centered attention on
Bellevue hospital in the heart of the
city where a case that arouses sus-
picion has been discovered. Thus far
the physicians have been unable to
satisfy themselves regarding the ma
ture of the patients disease. If the
bacterioIogical examination under
taken today shows the presence of the
dread cholera germ he Will be hurried
to Swineburne hospital. where II pa
tients are now confined. The suspect
is Manuel Bermudess a Spaniard, who
arrived here from Liverpool July L, a
fireman on a tramp steamer original
" from South America. Some anxiety
has been caused by the fact that he
was taken sick at a sailors boarding
house here before his removal to the
hospital.
The cholera death roll at Swinburne
island remained at eight and no new
cases had been reported among the
other immigrants at Quarantine. The
steamer Roma, which arrived yester-
dav from Marseilles and Barcelona, is
still in quarantine, but since she did
not touch at Naples, as usual, the
health officers look for an easier task
in the future owing to the fact that
most Of the steamers from the Medi-
terranean will not take passengers
from Naples and Palermo while the
cholera epidemic lasts there
A report that the investigation of
Health officer Doty's administration
had been suspended on orders from
Governor Dix to save the local health
department from interference during
the present stress, was denied today
by the commissioners in charge. The
investigation viii continue next week
but will be arranged so that none of
DR. Doty's assistants viii be called
away from their duties at the quaran-
tine station

MARTIN MUST WAIT.
Sheriff of Cherokee County Is Sus-
pended.

The supreme court issued a temper
airy suspension order in the custer suit
against Ralph Martin, sheriff of Chero-
kee county, to be in effect until the
court makes a final decision in this
case. The hearing occupied the court
all Of Friday and a pile of afddavits a
foot high were read in court. Most Of
these were in support of Martins good
character and testified to his ability as
an officer, but the liquor situation in
Cherokee county spoke louder than the
affidavits. and the court suspended the
sheriff until it can consider the case
further with all the judges present.
This will probably be some weeks, as
three Of the justices are off on their
summer vacation

Of duty in the enforcement of the pro-
hfbitory law. Governor Stubbs will ap-
point q sheriff to fill the vacancy until

HEALTHY
NOTE 9

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon 1t, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the 1igaments, makes plant and elias
tic those fbres and muscles which
nature Is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inflam-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispe1s the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left a healthy woman to enjoy the

RACERS BAR srTMULANTs.
One Mile Track, Properly Prepared,
Not Objected To.

New York, July 22.-Automobile
racing drivers do not object to one
mile track meets provided proper pre-
cautions are taken to put the track in
safe condition. This is the sentiment
of more than a hundred drivers of
racing automobiles who are in New
York for the annual meeting of their
national organization. The primary
business of this convention was the
taking of action to insure the enforc-
ing of contracts between the drivers
and race meet promoters. The racing
men decided to act in connection with
the Automobile Manufacturers Con-
test association, which meets in De-
troit. August 1914. for the suppress
sion of the irresponsible promoter.
The bringing of stimulants of any
nature into the paddock at race meets
was strongly condemned by the meet
ing.
It was decided to recognize two
classes. professionals and novices, in
race meets hereafter.
Arrangements were made for a rep
resentation of the drivers at the fu-
neral of Lewis Strang

Two Millions in Santa Fe I'M
pr0vements in Fiscal Year.
Annual Report Given Out From
Topeka Offices.

Half Million Spent for Work in
This City.
List Of Heavier Operations on
Atchison Proper.
HERE

The report of the improvements
done on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe, just issued from the Office of the
general manager in Topeka, shows
that on the Atchison proper in the
fiscal year 1910-11. more than two
million dollars was spent for build
ings, signal plants and yard extensions
in the towns along the eastern and
western lines.
1t has been the policy of President
Ripley to make the santa Fe first
class all the way" and one of the most
satisfying improvements this year on
the road has been the completion CT
the double tracking from Chicago to
Kansas City.
This gives the Santa Fe a two track
line all the way from Chicago to Albu-
querque and a three track line part
OF the way.
In Topeka alone the Santa Fe has
spent nearly a half million dollars in
the last fiscal year. The largest amount
$500, 000-was spent on the new ten
story general office building.
The list which follows does not in
clude the Santa Fes share of the two
million dollar union depot project in
hand at Joliet, nor a number of other
expensive propositions in which the
company is interested Jointly with 9TH
er roads. Here is the schedule Of
work lately finished, with the cost:

of the country by finding the longitude
by observation of the stars last night
