Prosecutor of Colored WOm-
an Not Present.

Because attorneys for the state
thought that white man who asso-
ciated with co,ored woman of al
legged questionable morality and then
accused her OF stealing 500, could not
be relied on for veracty they dis
missed the affidavit against Ferrist
Hayden. a colored woman, who has
been in the Home for Friendless for
several weeks awaiting prosecution.
The case was called in the Wayne cir
cult court on Monday, with the prose
cutting witness. Charles Long. absent
in Portland. where he had told prose
cutting attorney Laid. while the lat.
ter was on a visit to that place, he
intended TO stay. The defendant and
a large number of negroes were in
the court room.
The state had planned for jury
trial and the case promised to be bit
terry contested with Prosecuting at
torney. Charles Ladd and his assistant
Il. X. Shiveley for the state and Henry
L. Johnson for the defendant. The
charge against the woman was grand
larceny. it being alleged in the aft.
davit that on January 81, Long, while
in the company OF the Hayden woman,
had his pockets 'milked' of 500.

AMAZING TRAGEDY
At Los ANGELES
Girl Compels Dying Parent
to Shoot Her SO She
Could Also Die.

Los Angeles, April 1O.-In one of
the most amazing and remarkable
tragedies in criminal annals, Miss Eva
Boyee. 90 years old. stood at the bed
side of her foster father in a ward at
the county hospital and thrusting a
loaded revolver into his hands COM
PEELED him to shoot her so that she
might go to heaven with him"
With Spartan-like indifference.
bordering on fanaticism, the girl noted
the effect of each shot and ordered the
man to keep shooting until she fnally
dropped TO the floor.
AS result of the shooting S. L.
DANA, 90 years of age, the foster faith
er is dying from wounds self-inflicted.
after shooting his foster daughter and
the hospital authorities state there is
the girl
Fought Pistol Duel.
On April Dania shot and killed his
six-year-old daughter Ledania He be
lieved at the time of that shooting
that he was about TO die from injuries
inflicted by George koerner, with
whom he was fighting a pistol duel
kOcrner's wife had called Dania a
wife beater Dania heard the remark
and an alteration followed Both
His shots went wild, but Koerner's
two bullets took effect.
AS Dania fell he recognized his six
year-old daughter and, believing he
was about to die, he said Il am going
TO take you with me- and shot and in
stantly killed the little girl.
Practically the one friend to call
upon Dania in the hospital was Miss
Bovee, who posed as his foster daugh-
ter. She visited him almost every
day and during their conversation
urged him to carry out his promise to
take her with him when he died
Saturday morning she bought re-
volver and last night visited Dania
again at the county hospital She
forced the revolver into his hands and
stood up for execution. Dania fired
once. the bullet infiicting a painful but
not fatal injury, striking the girl in
the head. With the spirit of a Spar
tan she remarked Shoot again, you
didn't hurt me-"
The Bovee girl then crossed her
hands on her breast and Dania moving
to better position, fired two shots
rapidly. The second shot broke the
girls wrist, the third struck her in the
breast. After the girl fell to the floor
Dania turned the revolver upon him
self, inf1icting a throat wound. A fifth
shot went wild.
Following the shooting both Dania
and the BOvee girl expressed no re-
morse and asked to be allowed to die

A CHANGE or VENUE |JA|L VERY POPULAR
Sheriff Is Embarrassed by
Number of Visitors.

one of the seven wonders of Rich
mond is the Wayne county Jail, judg-
ing from the large number of visitors
at the institution who have no partic-
ular business there, even for calling
on the inmates. In fact it has be
come such popular place, more par
ticularly for colored people. that Sher-
iff Steen and turnkey Roberts have
made it a rule that hereafter only be-
tween two and four O'Clock on Tues
day and Friday afternoons will the
Jail be thrown open for visitors. Those
with important business will not be
excluded at other hours.
When callers are permitted at all
hours, the jailer is unable to attend to
any of the routine business. 1t was in
order TO permit the jailer to do his
work that the rule was made compul-
sorry. On Sunday afternoon there was
Z large crowd. some of whom undoubt-
eddy wished to attend the religious
services, but none were held. Sunday
was the regular day for the service.
but no minister appeared. The jail
bad been cleaned and was in spick and
span condition, as were also the in
mates. all of whom had been ordered
to the bath room and to pay a visit to
the Jail barber in the forenoon.

DIGESTION AIDED
BY Use OF WATER
Valuable Information Gained
in Experiments at Hi
nois University.

Champaign, H.. April 19.--Dr. p. B.
Hawk finds that by an extensive ser
les of investigation OF nutrition prob
lens. the University of Illinois leads
all the colleges in the United States.
Hawk Is director of the department of
physiological chemistry of that insti-
tuition. lie has made a thorough in
yestigation, and feels that the series
of experiments on drinking water at
meal times. and on fasting, have not
been eauaIed by any rival institution.
The tests conducted here were to de-
termine the influence of water on the
digestive systems of animals. and to
withdrawal Of food from the animal
organisms for periods Of various
lengths. The fasting experiments
were conducted both with animals and
men.
Sixteen series of experiments were
conducted. Some of the results fol-
low: The influence OF the withdrawal
of food Is much less pronounced the
second time than in the first fast. Re
peatcd fasting, If properly regulated,
may possess important curative quail
tiles.
The fat Of the food Is more eff.
cicntly digestcd and absorbed when
water Is taken at meal time. When
water is introduced in the stomach
with the food there is brought about
an increased flow of gastric juice,
thus causing the protein. constituents
to be more thoroughly diecsted.
The pancrcas works much more eff
ciently when water is taken at mean
time. The better digestion of the food
eaten Is due directly at least in part
TO the increased functional activity of
the pancreas.
Nitrogen partition of two men
through sevcn-day fasts, following the
prolonged ingestion of low protein
diet. brought interesting results. AT.
ter the second day the men experience
ed no hunger. II was further found
that there was "a return to the natural
condition the fourth day after the fast.
In breaking the fast, the men took
the maximum quantity of food the see
ond day after the fast, procedure
that had never been tried before.
A study of thee fasting modes indi-
Gates that there is more efficient func-
tional activity of the animal that is
subjected to repeated fasting; that
the animal organism is in better ply
steal condition after fasting than be-
fore being subjected to the complete
withdrawal of food.
When water is taken at meal time
there Is less intestinal putrefaction.
Corious water drinking between
meals was found to bring about an
increased flow in the gastric juice and
consequent better digestion.

ADVISE SERUM use.
Surgeons Prepare to Prevent
PeritonitiS.

London, April 10.-A series of inocu-
lation experiments on animals which
may mark an epoch in the history Of
abdominal surgery. and is likely TO
human race, is shortly TO be made
the basis of new preventive treat
ment for pertonitis at one of the
great London hospitals.
The original experiments, which
have been carried out at the labora-
tories Of the Royal College of Physi-
clans. Edinburgh by DR.. d. Wilkie UNI
der grant from the Carnegie trust,
consisted of inoculating rabbits with
vaccines and other substances as a
preliminary TO abdominal surgical OPP
crations to lesson or remove the dan
ger of peritOnitiS.
Acute inflammation Dangerous.
use OF the knowledge gained from
these experiments to ward off this
dread complication from his patients
stated: AS DR.. Wilkic points out in
the record of his experiments publish
ed in the Medical Chronicle in spite
of the great advances in recent years
in intcstional surgery, one OF every
five cases in which the intestine has
to be cut and joined together again
terminates fatally. Acute inflamma-
ton resulting from the action OF
germs attacking the lining membranes
of tho abdomen. either during or after
any operation on the intestine. is the
operating surgeons chief dread.
The experiments were carried out
10 discover. if possible, some means of
preparing a patient before an abdOm-
inal operation SO as to render him
better able to withstand peritonitis
should il occur. Rabbits previously
inoculated with small doses of vaccine
made from bacteria combined with
small doses of nuclein. were subject
ed to the same abdominal operation
as uninoculatcd rabbits, the appen-
dix being removed in each case under
ether anaethsias.
Immediately after the operation,
three thousand millions of live and
virulcnt bacteria tsuch as are Ordl-
narily found in fatal cases of human
peritonitis) were injected into the per
ttoneal cavities of both sets of ami
mails. The resulting deaths of the I'M
prepared animals in a few hours
from acute peritonitis and the absence
of any iii effects in the prepared ami
mails have lent great encouragement
to the hopes that similar preparatory
injections may reduce the high NOR
taltl to be expected when peritonitis
ensues in human beings.
Already apparently successful re-
suits have been obtained in a few cas-
es in man. Our hope is that on these
or very similar lines we shall shortly
find the key to the treatment OF that,
at present, most fatal of all surgical
complications-post periton
tits"
