NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Arthur
Spurgeon, managing director Of Cas-
sells, London. arrived here on the
Cunard liner Caronia en- route to ad
dress the Toronto Press Club in To-
ronto on October 5. He said press
censorship of books was needed in
England, but thought from what he
had read of American book produc
ton that censorship was unneces-
sary.
He said William Randolph Hearst
had made a pronounced impression
with his publications in England. He
was especially interested in the con-
tract between Mr.. Hearst and Hall
Caine at 100000 a year for four
years, during which time the novelist
will probably produce two books q
year.

an English publisher would hesitate
a lonE time before emulating It At
that figure.
Regarding plays criticised in New

not be tolerated for a moment In
England. A play that has to do with
consanguineous diseases he consider

On the same page, however is the

j. 8. SURGEONS
THINK THEY'VE
CUREDLEPROSY
Two Patients in the Philippine
Islands Recover From Most
Dreaded of Diseases.

WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-An APP
parent cure for leprosy has been
found by surgeons of the Public
Health Service at the leper colony in
the Philippines--in fact, so much of
cure that two patients who showed
distinct signs of leprosy when they
were admitted to the institution have
been discharged as cured. However
there seems to be uncertainty as to
just which of two treatments effected
the cure-a vaccine treatment or
chaulmugra oil taken by mouth and
hypodermically.
The patients who were discharged
were given both treatments, but there
are said now to be in the hospital
number of other cases which have
shown negative" for the past TWEEN
ty-two months, and these received
only chaulmugra oil treatment.
Surgeon Victor g. Heiser, of the
Public Health Service, chief quaran-
tine officer and director of health of
the Philippine Islands, in reporting on
the two cases which were discharged
says:
Two patients who had been con-
fined to the San Lazaro Leper Hos
pital on account of leprosy. have been
pronounced apparently cured and dis
charged from that institution on pro-
baton.
The first case was that of a male
Filipino, aged q, who was admitted
to the San Lazaro Lepec Hospital,
Manila, May 20, 1909. On admission
the case Clinically showed thiCkened
reddish spots on the nose and thick
ening and discoloration of the lobe
Of the right ear. He received vac
cine treatment at intervals, beginning
in August, 1909, but at the expiration
Of one year no change was noted in
his condition. From September, 1870,
to November, 1910 crude Chaulmugra
oil was given by mouth in increasing
doses.
THE case showed evidences Of i'm
provement. November 10 1910, chaul-
mugra oil, combined with oil Of cam
phor and resOrCin, was given hypo-
dermically. BY May 6, 1911, the le-
sions above described had disappear
ell and lepTosy bacilli were not found
in repeated microscopical examina-
lions.
"On June II, 1918, a most careful
clinical and microscopical examina
ton was made of the patients, which
resulted negatively for leprosy, and
as the patient had now been appar
emily cured for a period Of over two
years, he was discharged on proba-
ton
THE other case was that of a
Filipino woman, aged %, who was
admitted to San Lazaro Leper Hos
pital, Manila, January 7, 1910. Clin-
ically this patient presented a suf-
fused countenance, due to generalized
infiltration
Upon admission this patient was
placed upon a vaccine treatment for
a period of five months, but at the
end of the first month after her ad-
mission crude chaulmugra oil by
mouth was given in addition to the
vaccine.
After the second month the pa
tient began to improve rapidly, and
on May g. 1911, leprosy bacilli could
not be found OIL microscOpical eX-
animation"

HUSBAND MAKES
NEW RECORD. IN
ASKING ALIMONY.
Boston Man Enters First Claim
Ever Known to Courts of the
Bay State.

BOSTON. Sept. 20.-Broken teeth,
rolling pins to hot aatirons, poison
threats and a variety of other COM
plants were embodied in the suit for
divorce, with alimony, filed yesterday
by Edward A. Blakeney, against his
wife, Mary A. Blakeney. Of Ran
dolph
Mr.. Blakeney's suit, unique alone
in the fact that for the first time in
the history of Massachusetts courts
man sought alimony from his wife,
proved the more unusual because of
the specifications which he detailed
to support his charge of cruelty on
the part of Mrs. Blakeney.
To secure his claim for allmony.
Mr. Blakeney also places an attach
ment for $4,000 on the Blakeney
house in Randolph, which he charges
was bought with his money and
merely placed in her name.
Though Mr.. and Mrs. Blakeney
were married in March of 1888, her
acts OF cruelty" did not begin until
1900, according to his bill Of specifi-
cations. His charges indicate that
then they began in earnest.
In Randolph. he alleges, she threw
carving knife at him with such
force that its handle was broken
when it hit the wall behind him.
Later in the same summer, he says,
she struck him in the face and forced
him to sleep in the barn.
Less than a year later he claims,
she aimed a hot fiatiron at his face,
which struck his shoulder and
scorched his clothing. The next
event was at supper time, when she
chose a saucer, which again missed
his face, but cut his ear as it whis-
tied by.
When a building on the estate on
which they were living was destroyed
by fire, he says, she accused him OF
burning it, and later abused their
son, and insisted that he Tick" him,
so that they had to leave.
Early in 1903, he sets forth. she
threw a bottle containing a VERY
heavy substance at him, but on this
occasion also her aim was poor. She
had better luck, he claims, with a
beefsteak be brought home, for it hit
him in the neck.

Greek King Keeps
Under Guard in Paris
Expected That Monarch Will Try TO
Undo Impression Made

Special Gable to The American.

PARIS, Sept. 20.-King Constantine
Of Greece arrived in Paris last night
under an almost impenetrable incog-
nito, and was driven at once to the
Hotel Lott, where he refused to see
any callers. The plans of the Greek
monarch were so well guarded that
there was no opportunity for the or
ganizatiOn of any public protest
against him. owing to his recent
speech in Germany. However, his re-
ception, such as il was, was unofficial
and the reverse of cordial.
1t Is generally conceded now that
Emperor William and King Constan-
tine blundered when they attempted
TO pit the Prussian training against
French tuition.
The King will lunch with President
POincaire on Sunday, and it is ex-
pected he will make some effort to
undo the mischievous impression Gre
ated by his subsidiency to Germany.

FREE SUGAR FIGHT
IS WON BY SENATE
Democrats Rally to Support of
Tariff Measure and Defeat
All But One Amendment to
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. TO- Pres
Wilson'S program for free sugar in
1916 carried the day in the senate
Tuesday, when democrats rallied to
the support of the tariff bill and de-
feated all amendments to the sugar
schedule. With all but Senators Rams
dell and Thornton of Louisiana stand
ing firmly for the administration
measure, the democrats defeated the
BristOw amendment for a compromise
duty; the Norris amendment against
free sugar, and the Gallinger amend
ment against free maple sugar.
An amendment to abolish immedi-
ately the Dutch standard color test
for sugar, was adopted during the
fight. 1t was proposed by Sen. Rris-
tow, republican. accepted by Senators
Simmons and Williams. the demo-
cratic managers of the bill. Under
its provisions the Dutch standard,
against which a consistent fight has
been waged since 1909. will be abol-
ished as soon as the tariff bill becomes
law, instead of next March, as the
measure otherwise would have pro-
Vided.
The decision on the sugar schedule
came at the end Of a debate devoid
of much of the bitterness that had
been expected in connection with this
AEnl- ne Two LOUISIANA senators
had made clear early in the considera-
ton OF the bill that they would vote
with the republicans in favor of
duty on sugar; but there were no
other waverings in the ranks of the
democrats. Sen. Bristow's amend
ment would have established q grad
ual reduction in duty from the pres
ent tariff of $50 per hundred pounds
until in six years the tariff would
have established a 81 cent tariff on
Cuban sugar, which constitutes the
bulk OF the imports into the United
States.
A hard fight was made for the
BristOw amendment. but when finally
forced to a vote it was defeated 80 to
"a. But for the absence of Senators
Works. Sterling and Lippitt, republi-
cans, and Sen. Poindexter. progress
sive. the vote probably would have
been 80 to 50.
This close margin did not alarm the
democratic leaders however. for with
definite call of the mem bership, they
were certain of majority.
A subsequent motion by Sen. Cal
linger, to strike out the provision to
make maple sugar and glucose free
of duty in 1916, was beaten 81 10 50.
