At Olympia today is being
fought out before the supreme
court the issues which are to de-
termine whether DR.. Lima Bur-
field Hazard, the noted fast doc
tor, is to spend two years in the
penitentiary or not.
Her appeal is being argued and
bitterly contested by both sides.
DR.. Hazard, who operated a
fast cure sanitarium in Kitsap
county was tried for the murder
of Miss Claire Williamson, whom
it was charged she starved to
death to get her money. The jury
brought in a verdict for man
slaughter and the sentence was
two years.
Then DR.. Hazzord appealed to
the supreme court.

hALLARD.
Following her conviction an eff
fort was made to prove the bene-
ficent results of the fast cure to
influence public opinion. DR..
Hazard essayed to fast 40 days
herself. DR.. Tanner, the noted
faster who made the first 40 days
fast in history several years ago.
came up from Los Angeles and
lectured in Tacoma and at Seattle
to create sentiment in favor of
DR.. Hazard, whom he said was
being prosecuted by the medical
profession because of her ability
to heal the ills of life without
their assistance.
Whether this campaign had
any effect on the public or not is
a question but the argument at
Olympia today is on the legal
phase of the case.

ADVANCE WIPED OUT
IN COTTON MARKET
ScaIping Longs Become
Heavy Sellers to Realize
Profits

New orleans. March g.--The cotton
market was very steady during the early
part of the days session, but in the art
ernoon scaping longs were neavy sell
ers to realize profits and the market feli
off until all of the advance had been
wiped out and replaced by net decline
The market was moderately active, al
though business came principally from
professional traders.
The opening was steady at an advance
of | to points. Cables were favorable
and the weather map reflected more rain
in the cotton belt. In addition frost and
freezing were reported in the extreme
western belt, while the forecast predict
ed colder weather for the entire belt IN
the early trading prices went to points
over Yesterdays close This advance did
not hold any too we'll because many op-
orators held that the forecast of fair
weather balanced the more unfavorable
features of the weather. At noon prices
were at a net advance of ! to points.
In the afternoon the market gradually
weakened as buyers of the last few days
Increased their offerings and finally the
trading months went TO 8 points under
the last quotations of yesterday. The mar

New York. March 27.-There was re-
newal of yesterdays buying movement
at the opening of the cotton market this
morning, but prices later eased off clos
ing barely steady at net decline of
from to points.
The opening was firm at an advance

to 10 points net higher during the early
trading in response to relatively firm ca
bles, reports of an increased continental
interest. further rains in the eastern belt,
10 wtemperatures in southwest Texas and
continued apprehension of floods In the
Mississippi valley. The advance of about
30 to 50 points from the low level of
the month was followed by profit taking
and as prices eased off bear pressure be-
came rather more active. on account of
reports of slack spot demand from New
Orleans, and apprehensions that the dis
asters in the middle west would have
an unfavorable effect on the textile
trade.
Closing prices were at practically the
lowest of the day. Reports from San

COUNTY FUNDS MAY
Be GIVEN SUFFERERS
Attorney General Has Many
Inquiries If Destitute
Might Be so Helped

Montgomery. March 27.-(Specia1.)-
In response to several inquiries which
he has received from officials of Will
cox. Cherokee and Butler counties as
to whether county funds may be APP
propriated for the relief of storm and
flood sufferers. Attorney General
Brickell has rendered an opinion to the
effect that the public money can serve
no better purpose than being used for
the relief of the destitute and home
less and that such use of the public
funds is in entire accord with the spirit
of the law
During the past 10 DAYS the attor-
ney generals office has received num-
erous enquiries relative to the legal
ity of the use of the county's money
for the aid of the destitute and home
less persons, whose condition of de-
pendance was brought about as re-
suit of storms and floods. TO each OF
the inquiries the attorney generals Of
flee has replied that the law provides
for such use of the public money.
Authority for such action on the pari
of the counties dates back to- 1855, II
Is said, when Judge Stone of the su'
preme court of Alabama, handed dowr
an opinion to the effect that every
county in the state had perfect righ
to appropriate public money for the re-
lief OF the Confederate soldiers return
ing home from the civil war, Judge
Stone declared in his opinion that pub
lie FUNDS could be put to no worthiel
purposes, maintaining that paupers be-
came burden upon the people and thai
! it was the highest duty of the county
to assist in relieving the wants and
necessities of its citizens.
The law on the subject has never
baep pbauuad aooor1ire to tba attOr-
ney general, hence every county In the
state has authority to donate money
provisions and supplies for the aid OF
its people.

Physicians Not Ready TO
Determine Efficiency
of Remedy

Washington, March 27.--Before the
public health service can determine the
efficacy of DR.. Friedmann's tubercu-
losis remedy it must have his vaccine
and know the method of its prepara-
tion and administration. This informa- :
tion is still withheld by the Berlin
physician and the government surgeons
are proceeding as rapidly as possible
with a study of the cultures he has
submitted Before the examination is
concluded. however. it will be neces-
sary for the surgeons to study the vac
cine and all its properties
To expedite the governments inyes-
tigation, Surgeon General Blue an
nounced the appointment of Surgeon
p. II. Lavinder of the public health
service as a member of the commission
of investig cation. The 60 patients now
under treatment in New York are re-
garded by DIR. Blue as an insufficient
number upon which to reach quick con-
clusions. He believes 200 or more
should be inoculated. DIR. Lavinder, with
DIR. A. NJ. Stimson. will observe the
inoculated patients.

GENERAL SELLING
SENDS WHEAT DOWN
Close Weak at Net Loss of
1-4c to | 1-4c Lower.
Corn Also Suffers

Chicago, March 27.-Diseoyery that the
government report on farm reserves o.
wheat does not include spring seed re-
qi,irements which are 27ooo,o0 bushels
caused general selling To-Day and sent the
market down. The close was weak at a
net loss of &c to 1i4c lower Corn SUI
fered a net loss of 1ac and oats lsc to sc.
Provisions closed a shade lower to l0c up.
The wheat situation was Influenced by
the fact that mlllers who usually buy =
great deal of their grain in this market
were holding off because the foods In
Ohio and Indiana were preventing ship
ments.
Conditions as to milling demand were
aggravated by the fact tnat supplies u
flour on hand are large because of the
unusually heavy grinding of the last sea-
son by spring wheat millers.
Trade in corn today was almost entirely
in local hands, the east not being buy
er because of being overstocked there and
buyers in the more immediate neighbor-
hood being cut off by floods.
m The absence of any short interest LETT
oats with poor supports.
The receipts of hogs were 1900 less
than a year ago, and the demand for pro-
visions was comparatively dun.
