More or less humorous comment
upon the new hospital for the blues
has. perhaps. ov~ershadowed The seri-
Gus purpose Of the %psychiatric clinic
and hospital at Johns Hopkins in Bal
timore.
In an interview DR.. Meyer, who
outlines the general program. 1t is
to be not alone a hospital for the
blues" but an establishment devoted
to the general study and diagnosis
Of all stages n grades Of mental
disorder. The theory is that many
persons who became insane might be
saved If they were taken in charge
in the early stages. 1t is a step as
far away as possible from the old
system under which the mentally in
competent were cooped in institutions
that were bedlams rather than hospi-
tails. and which tended to promote
rather than check insanity. 1t is at
variance, also, with the theory Of
upon the hope that properly treated
at the right time victims may be re-
stored to their right minds. The
methods to be followed are thoSe OF
study and diagnosis. the segregation
Of the patients in institutions partic-
ularly adapted to their cases. n DIR.
Meyer hopes that by getting the I'M
%fortunates in the beginning as OUT
patients, cures may be attempted
with some hope of success.
incidentally, it is desired to arouse
a wider interest in the care of the in
n to have state legislatures, led
by public sentiment, provide more
modern and scientific institutions for
h treatment rather than the deten-
tion of the unbalanced. 1t is believed
that the lack Of public interest and
the consequent inadequate provision
for treatment, mismanagement and
poor handling. has been largely re-
sponsible for the growth of insanity.

While in Europe the past summer,
Charles Frohman consummated a plan
with Il combination of managers that
will mean much for the drama in a
number Of the leading cities In Eu-
ropean countries and in New York.
The arrangement enables his compa-
MES to play over a European terri
tory similar to hat represented by
the principal cities in the United
States. Such cities as Paris. Vienna.
Berlin. Munich. Dresden. Budapest,
Lyons. Marseilles. Frankfort and
Brussels are included in the con-
tracts. In speaking of the plan, MIR.
Frohman recently said:
This project has long been a fa-
vored n With me but its consumma-
ton was not possible until this year.
Through this arrangement. just as III
America. the leading cities and towns
are booked with attractions here in
New York. So the leading continental
cities will hereafter be booked with
attractions from my offices in the
Globe theater. London. When my
companies have finished their runs
in London they will be sent in their
entirety to the continental cities. And
furthermore. when Il French com
pany or play has exhausted its Paris
run it will also be seen over this new
circuit. In this way the continent
will be supplied with the successes of
the leading producing centers of Eu-
rope and there will be a constant in
terchange of the big dramatic and
musical pieces. not as now a spor-
adic tour of a success with an inferior
cast"

three months to collect this vast treas
ure. ENJOYS were sent to Cuzco for
the treasure. The great Inca had de-
manded gold and 1t was not denied.
Then a squad of soldiers was sent to
Cuzco. as tidings had been brought of
trickery on the part of the Incas. The
soldiers were received Hospitality, for
Atahuallpa had demanded it. He de-
sired to prove that he was keeping his
word. The soldiers pillaged the tenn
pies. %ransacked public buildings, defil-
ed the vestal virgins. Some Of the
priests fled with great stores Of treas
ures which they hid. The natives said
nothing: they were keeping their faith.
The plunderers returned with great
masses of golden plate. and Atahuall-
pas heart was grieved when he saw
how the temples had been plundered,
but he said nothing. Finally the last
of his ransom. which amount to more
than SIS, 000. 900. had been brought.
But. the greedy soldiers were not
satisfied. They demanded the Inca's
life. iPzarro demurred, but his fol-
lowers threatened mutiny. Finally the
Inca was brought before him and. his
generals for trial. He vas led before
them with chains around his neck, He
was doomed. The proud Inca realized
this, but he did not Quaver. The issue
Of the trial was never in doubt, and
the sacred chief who had purchased
his release was condemned. He was
led put into the courtyard. and there
before a number Of his wives and fol-
lowers was choked to death.
The soldiers pushed on to Cuzco aft
er more treasure. They laid waste the
beautiful temples. in their mad greed
for gold. The successor to Atahuallpa
attempted to capture the city, but he
failed. Pizarro set up a new capital
at Lima. 1t was renowned for its
splendor. The man who could neither
read nor write had cut his way to a
kingdom. He ruled supreme. in the
name of the king Of Spain. But dis
satisfaction broke out among his fol-
lowers. and Pizarro himself soon met
the faith of the thousands whom he
had dealt with. He was tabled through
the neck.
1t is said that the bulk Of the treas
ures which the priests buried when
the soldiers we're marching to Cuzco
have never been found. They still lie
somewhere in among those great
snow-capped mountains which so long
defied the conquerors.

A country where gold was valued
for its beauty only and where precious
stones were SO plentiful that they
could be picked up in the streets and
used as a slungshot to hurl at birds.
1t is no wonder that such stories of
the wealth Of the Incas OF Peru led
Francisco Pizarro and his band offol-
lowers to endure untold hardships that
they might possess some of this fabu-
lous treasure. But their success was
due more to their treachery and bru-
tally thai to stalwart bravery.
The Incas believed hat they were
descended from sons and daughters of
the sun who had founded Cuzco, the
capital of the Incas. Here was erected
a vast Temple of the Sum-" and q
great golden effigy of the sun, con-
sisting of a central face of FURNISHED
gold with numerous blazing rays radi-
ating to the roof. 1t was solid gold,
studded with gems. forming q bcauti-
full apparition of the deity from whom
the lncas had descended.

ca Capac. or great and powerful lord,

time that Pizarro arrived on the coast
Of Peru, there had been a war be-
tween Huascar Sapac, q ION of the for
mer Inca. and Atahuallpa, an illegiti-
mate son. Huascar was the son Of the
former Inca's own wife, who was also
his sister, while Atahuallpa was IN
son of another wife. But, according
to the Incas' a mans sister could be
his only legitimate wife.
~Atahuallpa had conquered his half.

at the famous baths and springs near

the scene at an %Opportune time, wher
there was dissatisfaction among tho
subjects Of the conquered Inca. When
Pizarro and his followers finally cross
ed the snow-covered mountains that
surrounded Cassamarca. they saw the
great Inca living in gorgeous splendol
about three miles from the town. His
followers and the members Of his har.

bearable. even in Dodge. A messen-
ger was sent by the proprietor to the
authorities asking for help, to which
Bat and Ed responded.
Hurrying to the building Bat. who
was some distance in advance. entered
first to see what was going IN. 1t
was now early evening. Ed had
met a puncher named Wagner coming
out. Always quiet and gentlemanly.
Ed pleasantly remarked: Guess l
had better disarm You" Drawing his
revolver as if to surrender. the cowboy
suddenly pressed the muZzle against
Masterson's body and fired. setting fire
to his victims clothes. Hearing the
report Bat rushed out. only to See Ed
stagger away groanins and with the
words: Bat, I'm done for"
Bat did not stop for sentiment.
Leaping from the. sidewalk into the
shadowy street. he exclaimed: Put
out the fire, Ed. and try to get where
there's some help. while 1 attend to
these devils"
Scarcely had he spoken before he
shot Walker. the leader. once. twice
through the lungs and through the
side. Wagner vas shot down with a
single bullet just as he was coming
through the door. He died that night.
The crowd inside stampeded and
broke for cover. Running into the
building. Masterson saw that his work
had been thoroughly accomplished. In
less time than it takes to- telt it he had

again rushing from the dance hall,
found this victim missing and at once
trailed him into tile self-same BAR

out he met his friend, Mike Sutton. an
attorney. Come on, Mike" said
Bat. lets hurry and see how poor Ed
is getting along"
So they ran across the street in
search of the wounded man. 1t was
unnecessary to &c far. Ed had stag
railroad tracks, where he fell and was
gasping his last breath when they
reached him. Overcome with grief.
Bat turned away, followed by Sutton.
The hero of a dozen gun fights sat
down on the sidewalk with tears
streaming down his face.
"It will grieve poor mother to
DEATH" vas all he said.
Thus were three souls sent to eter-
nifty in a tragedy Of the frontier.

No western town has been more
town been more truly American than
Dodge City. And SO famous in history
has this place become that it is now
the practice of the magazine writer's
to make Dodge City the setting for
nearly all their gun stories.
While most of these yarns have
been highly colored. and there has
been a tendency to overemphasize the
bad and overlook the good features of
that the old town has had a remark
able past. 1t has typitied all that the
west has stood for-an utter disregard
for things conventional. lawlessness,
six-shooter justice and a farcical So
cial and political organization-yet all
these influences We're permeated by a
desire for things better. which desire
has finally resulted in a triumph of
law and order and a victory for the
square deal"
In years back this little struggling
crucible in which all the diverse ele-
ments of the plains-soldiers. mer-
chants. hunters. cattlemen. gamblers.
~Givekeepers and r~oustabouts generally
Were fused into a composite some
thing. and that something was the
Dodge City of popular fancy.
But times have changed. Busy
switch engines now snort back and
forth where whooping cowboys once
cavorted. Mild-eyed young men in
white coats draw soda water where
fierce ~bartenders in buckskin shirts
once appeased the thirst of bad men.
A peaceful. law-abidins town of
about 1900 is the Dodge City of to-
day. The lid is on tight. and vice is
conspicuous by its absence. Old men

halls and swap yarns. Milk wagons

direction. 4 Harvey House gong

Boot Hill, which site once was famed
as a coftinless cemetery. A change
has even come over local politics, for
the mayor is no longer the leading
saloon keeper; he is a prominent

to be sure. but 35 years ago things
were different.

prepared against any attack from the

distance. Pizarro sent his brother and
q number of other soldiers to the
camp Of Atahuallpa, to announce their
arrival. and to ask his pleasure. The
Inca received them Hospitality enough,
but informed them. al that was a feast
day, he would visit their chief the next
day.
Pizaro suspected treachery. and that
night they made their plans. The fol-
lowing day they awaited a%nxiously
while the naughty Inca made his leis-
urely preparations to visit them. At
last the cavalcade started. Servants
walked in front and swept the road

! He himself was borne in a great gold
on chair on the shoulders Of his fol-
lowers. They arrived at the temple
In which tho S%paniards were awaiting
them at shutdown. The Indians crowd
thousands of them.
The great Inca sat In his golden
chair with his rich robes covered with
Jewels and asked to see the leader of
the strangers who had come into his
domains. The hands of the soldiers
itched to tear these jewels from him,
but they bided their time. Atahuallpa
was told that the strangers came from
a land whose sovereign was greater ev-
en- than he. Their religion, they said.
wa the only n lie must acknowl-
edge his allegiance to. this sovereign
and adopt their religion.
Atahuallpa smiled. He was satisfied
with his religion; why should he adopt
another? And. besides. what proof
had they that theirs was the only one ?
A bible vas brought to him. The In
ca glanced at 1t and tossed 1t aside.
That was what the Spaniards were
waiting for. The Inca had DETAINED
the sacred book and must be punished.
They swOoped down upon the startled
Peruvians and murdered the great
majority of them. 'PIzarro cut his way
to the great golden throne which vas

were attempting to protect their mas

by the arm n dragged him away

IRE o OF THE EVIL.

Naturally the American Bar asso-
citation is opposed to the recall Of de-
%cisions. That method of setting pop
ular feeling above the deliberate
judgments of the courts could not
find much favor with the profession
that is trained in the necessity of i'm
partial and unswayed justice. Nor
can it be averred that this is due to
blind prejudice against reform in le-
gal procedure. There is no class
which more clearly recognizes the
need for Improvement than the intel
ligent and conscientious portion Of
the bar.
President Taft st Columbus last
week, while conte.tina unjust charg-
es at the bench and lar. av"wed that
if the charge had seen made that
there was too much C"iaI in IN. rem
dition of justice and 20" Glu-!i *.

In his official documents he has AK
en- ground strongly tor measures 10
lessen the decay and cost of proceed
ings in the .nited States courts. Some
of these have already taken form, in
AN AiSN 4 1oI equity 3OGCCullSS
in these courts, established by order
of the supreme court.
Bal associations are very generally
active in seeking mean to lessen de-
lays in litigation. At the meeting of
the national body already referred to
+. U. Judson Of st. Louis said:
1t is no e~xaggeration t. say
that the judicial procedure of the
United States is now on trial be-
fore the bar of the public opin-
ion Of the country, and even Of
the civilized world. This public
arraignment of our judicial pro-
cedure has appeared not only in
our state and American bar as
sociations, but in the popular
press, and this public arraign-
ment has been voiced by our
foremost citizen. the president of
the United States. himself, an ex-
perienced jurist, who has declar-
ed that the most conspicuous fail
ure of our American civilization
is In the administration of JUS
tice, both civil and criminal.
The evil is recognized, the need for
reform is conceded, and measures fol
Improvement r widely discussed
But it may be doubted if lawyers will
be willing to recognize the root of the
matter until they go much deeper
than they have DONE. 1t is natural
that they should not. since it disturbs
the practical foundation of their pro-
fession in the business aspect.
What is the reason for the almost
universal resort of advocates with
difficult cases, to measures Of delay
to the discovery Of technical flaws
and to quibbling and hairsplitting
over points of small Importance to
the issue in the case? Can common
attribute 1t to any other cause
than that those who most successfully
employ these methods to benefit
clients with weak cases, are most Ger
tain of abundant and rich retainers
in the future? The principle stated
by many lawyers that 1t is not their
business to see justice done. but to
see that their client has all his legal
rights, is a coordinate expression OF
the basic evil that apart from the the
ory Of legal practice. the actual prin-
ciple is that tn lawyer who can Sc
cure delay II his client needs delay.
and pile up expense IL the other side
may be worn out by that is
the lawyer who succeeds.
