!. GIBSON FAC CES
MURDER CHARGE.
Continued from first pase).

Szabo's body and performed an autop-
|sy, the prosecutor declared today, will
testify that the woman died Of stran-
gulation and not by drowning. An ef-
fort also will be made to get before
the jury the tsory Of death which has
followed Gibson in his legal practice.
Before Gibson was indicted sensation
Eal stories were brought to light Of un-
explained deaths of two former
clients and Of two others who had
opposed him legally in court or had
testified against him at court hear
ings.
One other mysterious death was
told when the stories of Gibson's life
was gone into. John Rice O'Neill, a
young Irishman, recovered $4,000
from railroad for the loss of leg
He invested in mortgages under Glib
sons direction and bought a home in
Ireland. He planned to go there late
in May, 1911, On May 16, 1911,
O'Neil left his house, telling his
landlady. he was '"going to Pennsyl-
vania with Gibson to close a big bus
mess deal" He had coniderable mo-
ney on his person at the time. O'Neill
has never been seen since and no
trace of him has ever been found de-
spite the search made by English and
American police officials. - s.s>.

GIVES PHYSICIANS NEW idea
Experiment Seems to Disprove Motion
About the Spreading Of Dread
Disease Germs.

The power of 4 small glass partition
to prevent the spread Of infectious
diseases has been known in the hos
pitals of Europe for several years, but
Is only becoming recognized in Amer
lea. In the contagious wards of the
Brooklyn children's hospital glass par
titions about five feet high are placed
between the beds. And the effect is
really astonishing. In one bed may
be child with pneumonia, in the
next one with, scarlet fever, in the
next one with measles. Cerebro-
spinal meningitis, diphtheria and other
such diseases. may be represented in
the other beds, but since the installa-
ton of the glass partitions no child
"catches" the disease that his neigh
Dor has.
And yet the air circulates freely all
around and above the glass partitions,
and one would think that the germs
would spread almost as easily as II
these were not there. Yet experience
has proved that this is not so. ~,-:
Physicians are revising their views
about the spread of contagious dis
eases through the air. Some are even
-idiculing the fumtgation Of rooms.
The suggestion is that most of the
pathogenic germs die very quickly in
The air; that persons must come fair
" close to the patients and be In al
most. direct contact with them If they
! are to "catc1'n's the disease.

HOT WEATHER IN THE ARCTIC
stefansson's Men Suffered Tortures
From Heat and the swarms
- Of Mosquitoes.

"July was intolerably hot. We had
no thermometer, but I feel sure" says
Stefansson, the explorer, in Harpers
Magazine, writing of summer days in
the Arctic, ''that many a day the tenn
perature must have been over 100 de-
egrees in the sun. and sometimes for
weeks on end there was not cloud In

what we would, call an hour high, SO

several Of our dogs were completely
blind for the time through the swell
ing Of their eyes, and all Of them were
lame from running sores caused by
the mosquito stings on the line where
the hair meets the pad of the foot.
It is true that on our entire expedition
we had no experience that more near
ly deserved the name Of suffering
than this Of the combined heat and
mosquitoes Of our Coppermine river

Battling With the Fly.

AS the warm weather moves up the
coast the cities OF the south are re-
suming their battle with the fly. The
campaign should be energetically in
progress everywhere by the time the
hot days are at hand. There 1s no
sense to wait until the Fourth Of July,
or later, before what is to be done is
all carefully arranged and ready for
the foe. The southern cities have as
sumed that they must make their tell
ing blows effective in every way this
year. In some. cases they are demand
ing not only the removal Of all out.
of-door causes Of the evil pest, but the
screening Of buildings entire. This is
based on the theory that as it is not
yet possible for health officials to in
wade every indoor place where care
lessness permits the propagation OF
flies, every effort must be made to
conf1ne the breeding places 20 that
those who occupy them shall In q
measure learn the extent Of their fol-
". In some cities there is talk OF
ordinances to- require the use OF
screens. The battlecry for 1913 is not
"swat the fy!. but "Starve the dy!'

KILL RUSSIAN ,THlsTLEs.

Prevent Russian thistles from ma
turing by cultivation or narrowing.
The plants are easily destroyed while
small, but if they mature, they should
be gathered and burned before they
break loose and blow away, scatter
ing seeds as they go. Good ploWing
and careful seeding or planting SO as
to occupy the land fully will prevent
the growth of the Russian thistle In
most seasons. Plants growing on
waste places should be destroyed or
burned at maturity to prevent seeds
blowing over the fields. d,

and eradicating our common weeds

submitted today protesting against the
Sunday closing of postofices to the
transient population OF the United

sent by express. Signatures of tens of
thousands of people in all walks of
life including the governors of Michi-
gan, Iowa, Wyoming. Colorado, Mime

the petitioners in behalf of the tran
sient population, commercial travel

suits and others whose business inter.
ests make it compulsory for them TO
travel, that special provisions be made
for the delivery of mail Sunday" and
! that an order be issued ito all post,
masters to continue delivery of mail
Sunday both at hotels and theatres
and that employees of the postoffice
department be granted compensation
for any duty performed Sunday" II
