TO USE FRIEDMAN
 SERUM AT CAPITAL
Tuberculosis Sufferers in Little Rock Soon to Have Chance to Test the Cure-Limit to
 Charity Patients.

Little Rock, June 25.-Sufferers from tuberculosis in Little Rock will have an opportunity to within the next six weeks test the famous Friedman cure. After treating a number of patients at Dardanelle at the invitation of Dr. L. E. Love, Dr. J. J. Meyer and Dr. 0. V. May, of the Friedman Institute in New York spent today in Little Rock be- fore leaving for their homes in New York.
 Dr, May is the bacteriologist of the institute and it was necessary for him to accompany Dr. Meyer, as in hot climates the serum cannot be transported, and has to be made fresh on the day patients are treat ed.
 One of the patients treated at Dardanelle received a first treat ment at Providence, R. l.. some time ago. All trace of the disease has not disappeared, and a second treat ment was administered.
 T do not know how many free treatments were given at Darda- nelle, but there were quite a num- ber," said pr. Meyer. "Of course, the Friedman Institute could not afford to send men all over the country just for charity, but wher- ever we are called by a physician we put no limit on the number of charity cases treated. For instance, if the physicians here had several cases to be treated we would be only too glad to treat free twenty, thirty or fifty charity cases at the invita- ton of the city or county health authorities, and thus give them an opportunity of watching the pro- 9ress of the patients.

REBELS BUTCHER THOUSAND
 AFTER CAPTURING DURANGO

Mexico City, June 29.-More than a thousand soldiers and civilians including members of prominent and wealthy families. were massa- cred at Durango when that city was captured by the rebels two days ago. A dispatch telling of the fall of the city says:
 Not only were men. women and children killed, but many were slowly tortured to death in an effort tO make them tell the hiding places of wealth they were supposed to possess
 The attack on Durango was un- expected and it was thought the garrison there was sufficient to de- fend the city from any rebel force that might attack it. Last night the rebel force was reported to have forced the surrender of the city authorities and to be in full pos session of the city government
 Durango is situated in the state of the same name, and is the center of one of the largest and most pros porous mining districts in Mexico. Many Americans. English and Ger mans resided in the city with fam lilies, and word is anxiously awaited of the fate of these persons.

bookkeeper, short-story writer or some other profession. Without that practical experience. which should have been afforded her through some prosperous local mer- chant, she enters the city and takes her place with a great horde of other girls, similarly inetliciently equipped. and struggling for exist ence, She becomes a victim for white slaVers and an early and dis honored grave.
 "Therp are but two alternatives for this dilemma. You must sup port and maintain your local mer- chant. and through him provide an opportunity for your boys and girls who desire 10 follow a life of com merce,to get this preliminary train- ing and build their character at home, or you may patronlze the large, soulIeSs corporations, with all their deceptive and fraudulent advertising. of the great city, and send your boys and girls desiring commerce as a profession to them. unprepared and unable to meet the desperate questions they must solve This is the one great cause of our modern commercialized vice, and basis of white slavery. Every time you write an order tO a foreign mail order house instead of patronizing your local merchant. you are pay ing the way for the ruin of some boy, for the destruction of some girl. This l class as the first great cause of modern commercialized vice and white salvery.
 'All investigations into the cause for commercialized vice lays a large proportion of the blame at the door of low wages; wages in- sufficient to sustain life. The great department mail order houses are largely responsible for this condi- ton. As a result, we see the boys of the country districts robbed of their manhood, the girls of their virtue, and the city of it's greatest reSource-the pure blood and the moral courage of the country.
 The patronage of these mail or der isntitutions is nothing more nor less than licensing them to coin the blood of your boys and girls into dollars, and the few pennies you may save in the original purchase Is your share of this blood money. VIII you continue the parlncr- >hip?"

JUDGES WORDS TO
 SUPREME COURT
Language of Judge Gotham to Grand Jury Objected to by Attorneys for the Brass Kid" Convicted at
 Hot Springs of Grand Larceny

Little Rock, June 26.-An interest ing transcript filed in Supreme court Wednesday was that of coun- sel for Herbert Coon, alias James H. Ward, alias Brass Kid, alias Bert H. Sterling, alias H. Waite. He was convicted April 26, 1913, and sen fenced to five years imprisonment for grand larceny, for the alleged theft of S20,0O0 from Frank ?. Fox at Hot Springs. Motion for new trial was overruled by Judge C. I. Gotham May ?, and the bond of the accused fixed at S20.00O.
 The motion for a new trial set up numerous grounds alleged to be prejudicial to the interests of the accused. Considerable stress is laid upon the charge delivered by Judge Gotham to the grand jury. which, it is alleged, influenced the grand jury unduly in returning the indictment against Coon. In the course of his charge Judge Gotham said:
 Do you not thlnk 1t IS high tune for our citizens to get aroused, and most of all, for our officers to get busy and. in accordance with their oaths of office. to enforce the law and rid Hot Springs of the worst gang of thieves, thugs and confi- dence men that ever infested a con- munity? If a majority of our citi- zens vote that the lid shall be talk en off in so far as it applies to mur- der. larceny and robbery let who- ever will go forth and dip his hands in his neighbors blood; let the thief help himself to his neiahbor's purse and let the robber ply his nefarious trade at will To such a ridiculous conclusion does this argument lead.

Monday 50o.000 flies were slaugh- tered by Little Rock swatters. This was a good record. The swatting campaign will not eliminate all the flies from the city.

MIshANAGEMENT, Incompetency,' and

made by Thomas j. McGovern against
State Road Commissioner Stevens. Nc.
Govern is road contractor who ought to
know what he Is talking about and there
are some who intimate that he is ''peeved''
owing to his not getting some work that
he was after. But that will not do. Nc.
Govern makes his assertions In an open
manner and also expresses himself ready
and willing to sustain them The charges
are such that 1t would seem to be up to
the Governor to have them investigated.
If they are true Commissioner Stevens
should be made to givesway to some one
who Is competent to conduct the office
and spend the states money In a proper
manner. If they are not true, II thew are
the result Of some unworthy motive on
the part Of the accuser the latter should
be made to suffer for casting aspersion
upon the character and ability of public
official who hands out In the neighbor-
hood of half million of dollars annually.

not settle the question. The matter is one

MUCH has been said about the manner
which the case against the members of
the old Board of Freeholders was brought
to attention, and to the motives which
actuated the man or men who were so
active In the matter. In this connection
1t may not be amiss to call attention TO
section of the crimes act which provides
that any person having knowledge of apy
high misdemeanor under the crimes act
within the jurisdiction of this state. who
shall conceal and not, as soon as may be,
make known and disclose the same. shall
himself be guilty of mis- iemeanor. So
much for the general proposition. Now
for the participation of DR.. Lejambre In
the case. 1t has been attempted to show
that he was prompted by wrong motives
and did not get to work until after 'sbis
cat had been killed This is not so. AL
most Immediately after his nomination
DR.. Lejambre intimated that there were
many things that needed reformation and
that he intended to take hand along that
line as soon IS the election was over. OF
this we have personal knowledge 1t is
also fact that when he had the data he
was after he offered 1t to a newspaper
man for publication and the latter, after
looking 1t over, told the doctor that the
Prosecutor of the Pleas was the man who
should frat pass upon the evidence. and
on this suggestion that official was sent
for and the papers were submitted to and
taken possession of by him. Possibly DR..
Lejsmbre was not familiar with the pro.
vision of the statute referred to. but at
any rate he complied with 1t.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE
Philade1nhia

'HEORPHEUMP LAYERS,t this week,
i at the Chestnut Street Theatre, will
offer the biggest novelty of the year
The Circus Girl" in which practically
all the members of the company will
enjoy the unique experience of showing
what they can do in the realm of music
1.-THE Circus Grip is a famous farce
with music by Sydney Grundy and is a
highly entertaining offering of a light
nature, especially suited to the demands
of an audience in the summer time. It
will show the versatility of this admirable
company astonishingly, and will be
great contrast to the more serious offer
ings of the past few weeks.
''The Circus Grip deals with story
OF Claudine, former bare back rider
from circus who is introduced into the
house of a business man through mis-
understanding. He had met her the night
before in the park, and had enioyed an
innocent filtration with her She calls at
his home to return his pocket handker-
chief with his name in full and address
on it, and when there she meets his
mother-in-law, who is determined to find
out whether he is guilty of Irritation.
Things become complicated, one thing
following another, and the bright and
breezy young lady keeps things going at
a lively pace for three merry acts. At
intervals the plot takes a rest while the
different members of the company intro
duce popular songs. Ultimately, of course,
everything is cleared up, and the young
lady who has made things lively for an
entire afternoon and evening is finally
received on terms of equality by the en-.
tire household.
Once every year the Orpheum Company
INDUCES in musical offering by way o.
contrast, and this year the choice ha.
fallen upon "The Circus Girl" The
cast will include Sheppard Camp in tn,
comedy role of the husband who bring
the young lady into his house Gertrud,
Dallas will show the astonishing range 0
her capabilities by appearing in role o
light comedy, that of the circus girl
Others in the cast will be George LeGuere
Edward E. Horton, Cyrus Wood, Rosett
Brice, Constance Hyatt, and last but nc
least Florence Roberts, who will retur
from her brief vacation to appear in tn
role of the mother-in-1aw. For the mu.
ical numbers which will add so much I
the program, special chorus will be Ell
gagged.

on Shakespeare, as it was in the latter half
of the sixteenth century that medicine be-
gan Its modern history. Said Lanier: 1--WE
all know how the ever-busy doctor, the
never refusing doctor, has interviewer

whole texture of our lives. We begin to
call for him-I was going to saY-even
before we are born; we continue calling
for him all through our lives when we are

after having treated him all our lives as a
being entirely superior to the ordinary
claims of humanity regarding dinners and

we are going to die, and then leave ouI

Whatever science and specialization
may do they can never find a substitute
for the family doctor. He is our friend

be to rob humanity of one of its noblest

A Game That Was Won by Two Play.
ers and a Live Snake.


Tommy Tucker lost a game for
Washington to Chicago once and start
ed battle all because of a trick Bill
Dahlen and Bill Everett put up on him.
Tom never did like snakes. Indeed,
he held them In adherence, and In
some way Dahlen discovered this.
Washington was to play Chicago that
afternoon. and during the morning
practice on the west side grounds Dab
len and Everett discovered a small
Rartersnake and treasured 1t I'D.
Along in the fourth inning Everett
cracked out hit, and as soon as he
landed on first base Dahlen, ignoring
his usual custom, ran out to coach, and
a moment later he slipped the harmless
little reptile to Everett, who dropped it
into fuckers hip pocket.
Tommy discovered the snake Just as
the pitcher was delivering the ball
and. with yelp, be deserted first base.
The batter had hit to the shortstop,
who gathered up the ball on the run
and started to throw to second, but
was too late and threw toward first.
Tommy was twenty feet off the base,
jumping up and down and hunting for
something with which to kill that
snake, and the ball went to the stands
and Chicago scored four runs before
the inning ended.
Tucker protested wildly, but the um-
pire couldn't find anything about
snakes in the rule book and let it go
at that.
