DOCTORS CLAIMS
 ARE DISALLONED Drs Clark and Brunson Fail to Get County Court to
 Pay Them For Service
WILL APPEAL CASE
Special Act of Legislature Is Not Re c0gnized By Judge Philp0t in
 Considering Matter.

Claims of Dr. o. w. Clark and Dr.. Asa Brunson for sums aggregating t450 and $7S5 respectively, alleged to be due them for services rendered the county while members of the Jeff1'- son County Board of Health, in suamp- ing out the smallpox epidemic during March, 1910, were yesterday afternoon disallowed by County Judge C. M. Philpot, following hearing that fast ed for several hours in the county court room and which was attended by many doctors and other interested spec ators.
 Judge Philpot in disallowing the claims of the physicians said that it made no difference which way he de- cided the case as he was of the opin- ion that it would go to higher court anyway But IS he had consider able doubt 2s to whether the claim should be allowed lie would give the county the benefit of the doubt. It is understood that Attorneys Coleman and Can't, who represent the claim ants, will appeal the case to the cir cult court.
 The claims of the physicians had 4been previously disallowed by former Judge Gould He had allowed Dr. Clark, ADr BIunson and other physi- sfcians about $6,0o0 for services render ed The county during the smallpox xepidemic in Jaiuary and February, 1910, of which amount pr. Clark re- ceived about $SS0 in scrip and Dr. Brunson $1.7S5. Failing to secure pay for their services during March the two physicians secured the adop- ton of a special bill in the Leglsla- ture, authorizing County Judge Phil- pot to allow and pay their claims.
 Acting under this special law At torneys Coleman and Can't yesterday presented the claims of Drs. Clark and Bruuson. The hearing was a lengthy one The two claimants. former County Judge Gould and Drs A. c. Jordan and B. D. Luck testi- fled Dr. Luck said the chargas of the physicians were not unreasonable. He gave many reasons to bear out his statement, with some exceptions. Dr.. Jordan said it depended entirely upon who the doctor was aud what amount of practice he would have to neglect to properly carry out the work of the county board of health. Many good doctors, he said, would charge half of waat had been charged the county in this case, AS for himself, he ssid he would have demanded not less than had been asked by the claimants. Both. Drs. Jordan and Luck said that physicians who first began to give attention to such work on JaMuary 12, complete it on March 23 and hl1d not given more than half his time to the duties and We're able in the mean inc to care for their \ patients, and had already drawn $l,-

 GIRLS 5 QUERI[D Girls Who Shot Millionaire Converted to the Suffra-
 gette Cause ARE INTER VIEW ED Say They Did Not Think Themselves So Valuable Terms Stokes
 Rascal
ARE INTER VIEW K D
International News Special


 New York, June 14.-Just exactly alike in blue serge hobble skirts. white, India silk waists, with sailor collars dnd jaunty navy blue bows, silk stockings and patent leather shoes with modish buckles, Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad who between them shot millionaire w. '. D. Stokes, might have been mistaken for twins when an International News Service reporter saw them in their cels to- d.y.
 "I am a suffragette. l know HOW why women want to fight for equality before the law and at the ballot box, Miss Conrad declared. "lt is because women cannot fight with their fists, but her wrongs must be righted. That is why we shot in self defense. If we had been men we would have had physical strength to overcome that brutal Stokes and would not have been thrown into prison. -
 Miss Graham agreed that she beliey- ed in the ballot for women bat he" views were based on the same argu~ ment as her comrade.
 "Women should have all equality with men. Our confinement he"e is the argument" said Miss Graham.
 There is no pity shown Us because we are women We have to answer for what the Police Department seems to believe was a crime on our par. and here we have to remain until We prove it was in self defense, jast us men do. Then why should we not have a hand in the law making Of this country When l get out Of here I'll willingly plead the Suffrage cause whenever the opportunity af- fords.'
 "Of course we are not possibly so valuable as we have been rated by the Magistrate who held us, ok claimed Miss Graham. Think of t S5O.OOO bail. It could not have been more if we had ended thu old rascal's life. I ann sure Broadway managers never thought us S3A,0)0 beauties, did they Ethel?''
 ''But it has made me realize how the law favors man and protects him" said Miss Conrad. the Suffrasnuf, "For if Stokes had shot us instead of us shooting him he Wouldn have been made to give bail in proportion to his wealth No sir, they could not fix his bail so he would have to stay i'm hot old prison as we do.'
 But of their future plans the g'rls talked with equal spirit and interest. Miss Graham sid she had had trle- gram from her sister, Ms. Singleton, asking whether she should come on and she had answered back No, q would not be at all surprise if she came anyway she added ".f we get our bail reduced we can meet it. I think, and then we will be out of here by Friday'
 eff we do we will take to the tall timbers for a while" remarked Miss Conrad We are sick of Broadway and through with gunning as wet l never intend holding another revul-

CARD OF THANKS.

While members of a recent murder case iurv in the circuit court we were shown many favors by Sheriff Edgar Brewster and his two deput- ies, R. H. Williams and c. c. Green. for which we think no more than proper to express our appreciation. We were made comfortable in every way by the court attendants and given every consideration during our trying ordeal. MT. Brewster and his depu- ties were always ready to serve us and we never wanted for anything while lin their custody. We eve them our heartfelt thanks and as sure them that their kindnesses will always be remembered and thorough ly appreciated The favors are the more appreciated when it is consider ed that we spent Ill hours in the grand jury room.
