New York, Oct 3l-The filing OF
a suit for divorce in the supreme
! court here by Mrs. Florence Sophie
man Of the firm of Rothschild {, New
man, cotton merchants, against her
husband, James Jatfrays Williams.
once more brings into the lineiight
of publicity the name and wonderful
career of Harry Silberberg, known in
, both Le1nispheres as one Of the most
accomplished swindlers in his tory.
The man whom Miss Newman mar
ried called himself James Jaffrays
Williams, but it appears that his real
name is Harry Silberoerg and that at
different times during his varied Ca
reer he had been known under many
other aliases.
Silberberg was born in Atlanta
Ga, about 45 years ago. His father
was a rabbi, who had come to this
country from Russia and had accumu-
lated fortune by becoming block
ade runner during the Civil war
Young Harry did not obtain a very
thorough education. but began to
work in one of Ills fathers stores
when he was less than Is years Oh
age. At his fathers death Harry Sill
berberg became the part owner of
chain of profitable stores in Kansas,
Missouri and Arkansas. For awhile
he devoted himself to his business
and made a success of it, but horse
racing, gambling and women provcc
his undoing and soon he had not only
run through his fortune, but run deep.
ly into debt.
For awhile Silberberg had a good
position in California as a writer Of
advertisements, but his fast life again |
caused him to run into debt and he
ran away to Mexico. There he ven
tured his first swindling operation,
but was caught and sentenced to
three years Imprisonment. His per-
suasNe manner won him the friend
ship of the governor Of chihuahua
and, after & few days in prison. Sill
oerberg was paroled and became the
secretary OF the governor. While he
neld that position Silberberg devoted
himself to the study OF English, Span.
lsh and French and also studied
book on etiquette, to improve his So
ciety manners.
With $500 in his pocket Silberberg
left Mexico and went to New York.

DOCTOR WOULD
CURE ALL CRIMES
THRU SURGERY

Minneapolis, Nov. 3.-Dr. e. H.
Pratt, widely known surgeon OF Evans
ston. ILL.,, who believes he has dis
covered both the cause of crime anu
its cure and whose startling statement
that all criminals are sick persons in
stead Of wicked ones, has aroused
much comment among physicians, will
demonstrate hi stheory and treatment
in Minneapolis the week of Nov. 8,
according to the present plan of sew
eral physicians. The physicians will
ask DR.. Pratt to give clinics in Min
neapolis. Many Of them do not agree
wholly with his theory but they want
an opportunity Of giving it careful
study.
The life wire, as DR.. Pratt calls the
sympathetic nerve, is in his opinion
the seat of the criminal instinct.
He bases his statement on original
investigations covering a period of II
years and at the conclusion of ser
les of operations at the Sisters Of St.
Francis hospital, Evanston, he declar-
ed the patients had minds as pure as
the minds Of infants. They would
experience no more criminal instincts
unless there was further trouble with
the sympathetic nervous system.
Operation Called Simple.
Whether man lies. steals or has
murder in his heart he can be cured if
the surgeon can but find the point Of
pressure on the terminal of a branch
of this nerve, he says. The opera
ton is no more dangerous than trim

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray
hair dark and glossy at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray:
also ends dandrutf, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. sr. ..
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You will get a large
bottle for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because no
one can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen q sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.

.ANAN|AS CLUB
BANQUET NOV,l5
Col. WhiIehead's Aggregation
Of Forty Liars and Other
!. Lies" viii Feed

Arrangements have been made tc
hold the annual Annanias banquet
this year at the Hotel Mckenzie on
the evening OF November Is. The
Ananias club is a fictitious organiza.
lion and it's proceedings are publish
ed every week in the State by Col. &.
G. Whitehead, whose fame has spread
10 such an extent in writing these
anamas serials tnai he has been re-
pea .edly asked by an eastern syndi-
cafe to supply similar stories written
from a national standpoint. Last
year was the nrst banquet held for
chs club in the state, and there were
eminent speakers present from all
over North Dakota. For this second
baqnuet there are assurances that the
attendances will be more national in
scope, and the program Of speeches
already prepared, contains large
number OF attractive subjects by pro-
minent speakers.
In accordance with his ideas for big
things the Colonel has called this or
ganlZation, the Ansnas club of the
United States. Sounds like trust,
but there will be no trust about it
for it is necessary to PUNK down the
three dollars and do it early or there
Will be no chance. This aggregation
will have Bill Nye's Forty Liars and
Other Lies beaten to deat4.
This is to be a great event, marked
by deluge of oratory and with Col.

will be carried out:

are keenly interested in DR.. Pratts
announcement though they do not
now agree with his theory that all
crime is due to a physical cause.
Can't Agree With Dr.. Pratt.
DR.. Horace Dana Newkirk, consult.
ing surgeon of the Hennepin county
juvenile court, has performed 400 op.
erations on juveniles who were delin.
quent. While he says the results
have been good he is confident that
physical defects are not the basis OF
all crime. DR.. Newkirk and other ply
sicians who have done similar work
will hear DR.. Pratt tell Of his work
and attend his clinics if they can be
arranged.
DR.. Pratt eliminates many physical
defects as direct causes of crime and
lays the trouble directly to the sym
pathetic nerve. The common defects
may injure some branch Of the nerve
and their removal may result in re
covery from crANsnal tendencies he
believes. Many cases, however. are
not attended by pain or special an

Solar PIexus The Base.
The special province of the SYM
pathetic nervous system is to furnish
the nervous supply to the blood vessels
and the involuntary muscles. Toe
seat of the system is the solar pleXus,
but the branches extend to all parts
of the body. The solarsplexus is the
