SUFFERING WOMAN
A SOCIAL OUTCAS7
Mrs. Bertha Manson, Victim
of Dread Disease, Is Not
Wanted Anywhere.

What is termed by DR.. T. H. Davis
to be an Outrageous condition" is the
pathetic case of Mrs. Bertha Manson,
victim of a serious blood disease.
Mrs. Manson, who claims to be OF
Richmond. was taken to the Home for
the Friendless last Monday night in a
cab. On finding the nature of the dis
ease officials of the home notified the
home physician, DR.. J. E. Weller, who
secured money from the township trus-
tee so that a COG treatment could be
given the woman at the Reid Memorial
hospital.
An operation was performed on the
Fourth of July, and because OF the
great objection of inmates at the hos
pitai. where the woman was quartered
in the general ward it was necessary
to remove her back to the Home for
the Friendless.
Is Too III to Work.
Late Tuesday evening the woman
was taken to the Home for the Friend.
less again in the city ambulance.
There was nothing for the matron to
do but to take her in, although the
Home has no way to properly care for
the woman. The township trustee
says he cannot take her to the poor
farm. The Reid Reid Memorial hos.
pital superintendent refuses to take
the woman back. She is not wanted
at the Home for the Friendless, nor
at the city pest house. The question
confronting the authorities is what
to do with her, for she has no home,
nor can she work.
"It is what call - outrage" de-
clared DR.. Davis. today. mo one is
particularly to blame, however, but it
shows that there is no provision made
contagious diseases in the city. II is a
matter that ought to be looked into. 1t
seems to me when the city pays con-
siderable money each year to support
the hospital there should be a contagi-
Gus disease ward there, or the hospi-
tai board should buy small tent or
two. SO there would be no objection
from other patients. You cannot blame
the people at the hospital for kicking
nor the matron at the home, for they
can't take care of the disease. The on
ly way l can see out of the trouble is
for the Home or some charity workers
of the city to donate a tent for the
woman. 1t could be placed in the yard
at the Home for the Friendless"

pital to the home, back and forth,
from pillar to post. Now where's
your defunct humane society? Why
can't somebody stir up the remains OF
that dead organization and make it do
something? hope its work doesn't ap-
ply only to animals. Human beings
are infinitely more important
Mrs. Elizabeth Gambler, who is on
the board of trustees of the Home for
the Friendless, said that the home is
always willing to take in homeless
people. Whether they have money or
not makes no difference. But, she de-
clares, the nome cannot care for such
a disease as Mrs. Manson is afflicted
with She suggests that the patient
be taken to the city pest house or the

Demands That Criminal Action
Against Trust Heads Be Started

Washington, June 16-Criminal
prosecution of the officers of the
Standard Oil company and the Ameri-
can Tobacco company was demanded
yesterday afternoon by Senator Pom
creme, who addressed the senate on
his resolution calling on the at
ltorney general to undertake such
legal action. The Ohio senator de-
clared at the outset that the Sherman
antitrust law was specific in its au-
thority to press such a suit against
conspirators who restrain trade.
He contended that lawyers doubts
of the meaning of the statute were
Gin proportion to the size of the fees
they receive from their clients" and
that the Interpretation Of the law by
the supreme court of the United
States was clear.
Now, with these plain findings Of
fact and conclusions by the court
that this statute has been violated"
he said. what reason can be given
by any sworn court official for not
continuing his fight against them in
order to bring them to the bar Of
Justice? What excuse can any law
maker or any executive official give
to the people of this country for q
failure to enforce this law, when
they are every day exerting them
selves to punish infractions of the
law against other transgressors' with

MAY AFFECT THE
!. TRUST ACTIONS
Recent Supreme Court Deci-
sions Being Closely Scan
ned to Determine Effect

Washington, June 16.-Several i'm
portant antitrust actions which may
be brought against concerns which
have been investigated by the bureau
OF corporations may be seriously af-
fected by two recent decisions of the
supreme court.
No official Of the department of JUS
tice is yet ready to give an interpre-
tation of the situation, but it appears
that the department of justice will
hereafter be at liberty to use in an
antitrust suit evidence which has
been given to the commissioner of
corporations not under oath or in re-
sponse to subpoena.
In the United Wireless case the su-
preme court compelled President Will
son to deliver copies of letters which
he had signed. even though the letters
incriminated the corporation. In the
so-called hours of service case, the
court held that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was compelled to report
Its own violations and that such re-
ports could be used by the department
of justice in prosecuting it.
1t Is pointed out that the investiga-
tion of the steel corporation was
made without subpoenaes or admins
tering Of -aths. The same is true of
another great corporation.
Several officials OF the department
of justice are now investigating the
effect Of the decisions referred to and
1t ia possible that ithe government
may hereafter have available much
evidence for antitrust actions which
1t has hitherto been unable to use.

But Indian Used Even More
Expressive Term in De-
scribing Conditions

Washington, June 16.-"Indian res
ervation life is hell-that is, its an
awful place-yes, a he'll" declared
DR.. Carlos Montezuma of Chicago a
full blood Mohave-Apache Indian,
who appeared yesterday before the
house committee on expenditures in
the interior department on behalf of
his tribesmen of the Mcdowell res
ervation in Arizona. The Indians are
protesting against plans of the gov
ernment to transfer them from their
old home.
Reservation life,' continued DR..
Montezuma," makes of the Indians,
idlers, beggars, gamblers and pau
pers."
DIR. Montezuma was formerly in the
government Indian service and once
connected with the Carlisle Indian
school. He related how he had pro-
tested against proposal to change
the Carlisle institution into a military
school and said that when he ap-
peared at Carlisle commencement
to express his views, the band was
ordered to play and his speech torn
from his hands by Major Merser, the
superintendent of the school.

telephoning could scare up one of
the clerks. so the party started for
Philadelphia.
But the Pennsylvania city was just
as inhospitable, and no clerk was
found at the city hall. The young
couple were getting desperate, and
in an automobile they secured the
city, going to the homes of clerk aft
er clerk, but all evinced sur
prising absence from their home
premises, and the circle around Phil
adelphia ended where it began, at
the railroad depot.
Then the young folks thought of
Atlantic City, which would have been
their ultimate destination anyhow,
and SO across the Jersey meadows on
the last lap of their race for a mar
riage license they went.
At first it looked at though Atlantic
City would treat them much the same
as had Baltimore and Philadelphia,
for no clerk could be located at first.
But the young folks knew that they
couldn't continue any farther east
ward so they just kept up search
for a clerk until they hauled one
from his couch. along at 10 o'clock
at night.
After receiving the license, which
gave them the authority of the state
to get married, the service was per-
formed in one Of the hotels along the
boardwalk.

Had the Oxnards held their trust"

said, the deal would have netted
them 100000 besides the dividends

The witness said the capitalization
of the Brooklyn factory was only
100000 but that the plant was worth
100000.
He said he did not stay with the
trust but went abroad, and after
studying the beet sugar industry in

Washington, June 16.-Use of the
shop of the Washington navy yard by
officers for the repairing of their auto
mobiles and motor boats is being in
vestigated by the house committee on
expenditures in the navy department.
The committee has learned that
such repairs have been made in many
instances and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer told the committee that it
should be the custom to make such re-
pairs at cost.
II think it right to say" said Chair
man Hardy of the committee, "that
there is an intimation that the store
keeper at the navy yard has utilized
the labor of government employees and
government materials in making such
repairs far in excess of the deposits
made by officers to cover the costs,
and the matter may become the sub
ject of further investigation"
Secretary Meyer stated that the de-
partment would be glad to cooperate
with the committee in the inquiry.
