TRY THE KNIFE AS
A CRIMINAL CURE
DR.. E. H. Pratt Operates on Four
Court Awaits the Outcome of
Wnrk

Chicago, Oct. 25.--Four patients have
just been operated on by DR.. L. H. Pratt
of Evanston in an effort to eliminate
criminal tendencies and moral defcien-
cies.
The operations were performed at the
instance of Judge George w. Bridgeman
of the circuit court of st. Josephs, Mich,
who has announced that hereafter he
will not sentence anyone convicted in
his court of moral crimes to peniten-
tiaries or insane asylums until the knife
has had an opportunity to regenerate
the mind affected.
For obvious reasons the names of the
persons upon whom the operations are
performed will be withheld. DR.. Pratt,
in discussing the subject recently with
Judge Bridgeman, said that the opera
tions would not destroy any organ or
function of the mind or body, but mere
~ would remove abnormal conditions af-
fecting nerve cenyers.
Two of those who went under Dr.
Pratt's knife recently at st. Francis hos
pital, Evanston, are brother and sister,
both under 20 years of age. If DIR. Pratt
succeeds in overcoming their moral
weakness, the charges pending against
them in Judge Bridgeman's court will
be dismissed. Both are said to be re-
covering rapidly from the effects of the
operations.

With the exception of Jose Fernandez,
the miner taken alive Thursday night
from the sixth chamber east, none of
the rescued men were working near the
section of the mine where the explosion
occurred. Fernandez has not recovered
sufficiently to talk of the disaster.
Two of the helmeted rescue gang in

believed to be dead. Two others who
accompanied them were brought out
scarcely alive.

BIG TEAMS SCORED ON
QUITE FREQUENTLY
Change from Old Days When They
Nearly Annihilated Their Smaller
opponents--Some Interesting
Records,

New York, Oct. 25.--As the football
season progresses the teams of big uni
versities of both the east and middle
west are finding it more difficult each
week to keep their score states clear
Time was when the colleges forming the
big Six and Big Nine" felt that their
Iescutcheons had been blotted if the eleven
of minor institution scored upon their
team. With the coming of the so-called
open game conditions changed. Scoring
against Yale, Harvard and Princeton in
the east and Michigan, Minnesota and
Chicago in the middle west Is no longer
uncommon. In most cases, however, the
score is made via the aerial route and
is due more to the personal kicking abil-
ity of one player than to the team as
a whole.
During the early part OF the present
season such scores were frequent, and
the manner in which the little teams
were scoring ON the big varsity elevens
led to discussion at university club
as to whether the modern kicker was
more proficient in his particular part of
football play than in the past. II was
the consensus OF opinion among the
many former football stars present that,
while the ability of the average college
drop kicker had advanced, the famous
punters and kiekers of the past were in
no danger of losing the laurels to which
their brilliant performances entitled
them.
In order to prove their contention the
oldtimers quoted some authenticated
field goals scored from drop and place
ment kicks that startled the youngsters
about the table. 1t was agreed that
the 62-yard drop kick field goal made
by Pat O'Dea, of Wisconsin. in the
game with Northwestern in 1898,
formed the record for this method of
scoring, while j. t. Haxall, of Princeton,
held the record for a goal from place
ment with his 65-yard score against
Yale in 1882. j. V. Cowiing, of Hor-
yard. was credited with 55-yard field
goal in the game with Princeton in 1893,
and j. E. Duffy, of michigan, with
similar feat against Cornell in 1901.
Getting down to modern times in foot
ball play records were produced TO show
that John Dewitt the famous Princeton
guard and kicker, scored two 50-yard
placement field goals in 1902, one
against Yale and the other against Cor
nell. just to show that such feats are
accomplished in the present
game, the case of H. A. Pumpelly of last
years Yale team was cited. His sensa
tional feat of tying the score for Yale in
the Princeton game OF 1912 with a drop
kick goal of 40 yards, puts him well up
in the list of successful field goal scor-
ers at unusual distances. Goals from
both placement and by drop kick of As
yards and less are comparatively com
mon. The records show that Alex
Moffat, Princeton; G. Capron, Mime
sofa; James Thorpe. Carlisle Indian
school; w. g. Crowell, Swarthmore; G.
A. Watkinson, Yale; J. 2. Dalton, Navy,
B. w. Trafford, Harvard and w. H.
Eckersall, Chicago. all have scored not
one, but many field goals from distances
between 80 and As yards.

IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Football at Montpelier seminary does
not make favorable progress. A recent
edict by the school management post
poned indefinitely the two coming
games because of the prevalence
of injuries in their camp. Harris and
Fuller, the two star men, are out OF the
game with injuries and Montpelier is
not expected to play again until the
Spaulding contest on November i. The
games with Montpelier seminary and
the University of Vermont second team
have been postponed.
Jim o'Rourke, the veteran ball play
err, says that the only difference be-
tween baseball to-day and 25 years ago
is that the modern game has developed
speed. O'Rourke played left field for
the Giants in 1883 and 1889. During
the past worlds series he was asked ii
his team was stronger than the Giants.
He thought that had his old team been
in the Athletic uniforms the defeats
would have been administered almost
as easily. He says there never was a
better catcher in the game than Buck"
Ewing and with the exception of Math-
ewson there never was better pitcher
than Tim keefe. He says that their
team was heavier hitting than the Nc
Graw crew, but the present Giants We're
faster and took more chances on the
bases.
Larry Mclean, the star Giant catcher,
was deprived of 5000 because OF the
transfer made in the middle of the past
season, whereby he changed Card uni
form for one of the McGraw crew. At
. 4. l. a. L..
st. Louis management offered bonus
of 5000 to Mclean if he would abstain
from drinking during the season. Re
Gently Mclean informed the Card man
agement of their promise, but he re-
ceived the curt reply that they did not
pay bonuses to players of rival clubs.
Kimball. who captained Norwich uni
versity varsity this fall, is now in charge
of the freshman team, tuning them up

always played in the line, alternating
at guard and tackle. Storer will take

Most old people must give to the bow

perfectly natural. 1t is just as natural
as it is for old people to walk slowly.
For age is never so active as youth.
The muscles are less elastic. And the
bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect sthis gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never so much as at
fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bowels
into activity. But lash can't be used
every day. What the bowels of the old
need is gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used without
harm. The only such tonic is Casearets,
and they cost only 10 cents per box
at any drug store. They work while
you sleep.-Adyt.

WANT NATIONAL
PROHIBITION PLAN
Congregational Church Conference Goes
on Record by Vote of
SIT to IA.

Kansas City, Me-. Oct. 25.--By vote
Of SIT to Ii the National Council of
Congregational churches went on record
Yesterday in favor of national prohibit
ton. The vote defeated movement
headed by Governor Simeon Baldwin of
Connecticut, who opposed the report OF
the temperance committee, favoring an
amendment to the federal constitution
prohibiting the manufacture, sale, i'm
portation and expectation of intoxicat-
ing beverages throughout the United
States. The recommendations of the
committee were read by the Rev John
Faville of Appleton, Wis. He said;
"The supreme court of the United
States already has paved the way for
such an amendment to the constitution
and we believe it is timely to take
action on the temperance question"
This statement of Mr.. Faville was
challenged by number of lawyers in
the body. He explained that the state
the supreme court had ruled against the
liquor traffic as a business.
"They have practically declared it
unconstitutional, have they not?" he
asked his directors.
"No, no." they chorused, and at that
time Governor Baldwin arose to state
his objections.
"This is proposition said Governor
Baldwin, "to have the council change its
speciality from religion to political
science. It is beyond the province of this
council to promote any amendment to
the constitution of the United States.
We may pledge ourselves and our
churches, but this amendment is con-
trary to the genius of government.
Home rule is the foundation of the gov
eminent. Let the states regulate and
not the United States
Charles H. Prouty of Spencer, Mass,

ALL OF BALKAN
TROOPS ACCUSED
Carnegie Commission Confirms Stories of
the Atrocities in the
War.

Paris, Oct. 25.-Troops of all the war
ring Balkan states committed atrocities
according to the evidence gathered by
the international Carnegie commission in
its searching inquiry just ended. The
conclusions of the commission are to be
published in book form, with illustra-
tions and fac-similes of some of the doc
uments on which the report is based.
One of the noteworthy tasks was the
minute examination and verification by
the commissioners of the famous packet
of letters from Greek soldiers captured
by the Bulgarians, containing horrible
descriptions of how Greek soldiers
avenged themselves" on Bulgarians who
fell into their hands. The commission
believes that it has established the au-
thenticity of these letters. Other docu-
ments testify that the Greeks OCCASION
ally made use of the forbidden dumd
bullet, and show also the misdeeds of
Bulgarian and other belligerents. The
inquiry did not extend to the Rou-
manians.
While it was found that the Bulgari-
ans had committed the greatest faults,
the commissioners appear to be of the
opinion that had other belligerents been
reused to such a pitch of fury as were
the Bulgarians, they would not have
acted much better.
The members of the commission were
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant and
Justin GODDARD, member Of the Cham
Der of Deputies, for France; Prof. Will
helm Paszkowaki of the University OF
Berlin, for Germany; Prof. Samuel
Train Dutton of Columbia university for

Physician Testifies Admiral
Threatened to End
His Life
WIFE LOVED HIM
AND WAS LOYAL
Witnesses Tell of Admiral
Under Influence Of
Liquor

Plymouth, Oct. 25.-The defense at the
trial of Mrs. Jennie May Eaton, for the
murder by poison of her husband, Rear
Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton, introduced
evidence yesterday in support of two
main contentions--that the admiral was
addicted to the use of drugs and that his
wife instead of plotting his death loved
him and was loyal to him.
Stories of the admiraPs apparent in
toxication We're told by Peter S. McNal-
ly, a newspaper reporter; Miss Mary M
Simmons, school teacher; Lieut.. r. s.
Keyes, naval officer; Dr. Benjamin S,
Blanchard and DR.. Jacob w. Brown.
McNally said the admiral appeared to
be under the influence of liquor often
but no odor of liquor could be detected.
Lieut.. Reyes said when the admiral
was captain, commanding the battleship
Massachusetts, he spent an entire night
on deck clutching the rail.
Explaining evidence introduced by the
government indicating death was due to
arsenic, the defense called DIR. Brown,
former Boston practitioner now serving
Jail term for illegal practices, who
testified that at the admiraPs request
he prescribed preparation containing
arsenic.
When cautioned about the use of the
arsenic the physician stated Admiral
Eaton said he didn't care; if he didn't
get back his former vigor he'd finish the
job himself.
As the prosecution has failed to con-
meet Mrs. Eaton directly with the poison
and has not shown where the poison was
purchased, the evidence of yesterday was
a big victory for the defense. District
Attorney Barker appeared to be greatly
excited at the new turn of events, while
Mrs. Eaton, who doubtless knew what
was coming, was very calm.
The appearance in Plymouth yester-
day of June Reyes, daughter of Mrs.
Eaton, led to speculation as to her prob
able story should she testify.
Family acquaintance testified that
the Eaton home apparently was happy.

GERMANY FOR HUERTA, TOO.
Will Back Great Britain Against Policy
of the United States.

Berlin, Oct. 25.--The semi-official Col
ogne Gazette yesterday published an
editorial to the effect that Germany
stands with Great Britain against the
policy of the United States in the Next
can situation. Gen. Huerta, it said, has
shown himself so far to be the ablest
man to handle the situation under exist
ing conditions, and the United States is
criticised for refusing to recognize his
government. The editorial intimated
that Germany would recognize Huerta
if he is elected Sunday.
The Berliner Gazette, also an inspired
journal, said:
Germany and England have ex-
changed views on the Mexican situa-
ton, and Germany has now decided on
steps to protect her citizens and her in
terests in Mexico, regardless of what
other nations may do"
