New York Doctor Says He Does It
 Like Picking Cherries.

Chicago. July 1.-Tucks are being used a great deal this year among peo- pie who neither go where they look nor look where they go-people suffer ing from that perpIexing ailment known to the laity as "cross eyes, and to men of science as confergent sfra- bisnus. Such was the gist of a paper read by Dr. George A. Suffa for the American Homeopathic. OpthalOmolog- icai, Biological Laryngological society which met here today.
 The method of clearing the compli- cated viSions of these unfortunates consists in taking a tuck in one of the muscles that control the bali of the eye. For years eye doctors have been taking their little shears and shipping the muscle that makes the eye misbe- have. Dr. Suffa invented the method of tightening up the muscle on the ether side. just as q man tfghtens one suspender.
 Among the novel results of the years work as reported in today's meeting WAS the discovery by Dr. Harold Eos ter of New York of a method of re- moving the tonsiis with the fingers.
 It's very simple" said Dr. Foster. T put the patient to sleep and then reach down and pick them like cher ries. Snapi and it's all over. It takes about fifteen seconds. You must have a strong grip.
 This is strictly not f1ngernail op- erAtion,' he further explained. Tt is done with the pressure of the finger alone

ONE YEARS EXPERIENCE
 ENOUGH FOR ENGINEERS
/6rotherhood Officials Sc Testify at
 Stamford Wreck Inquest.

Bridgeport. Conn. July 1.-Coroner John J. Phelan's inquest into the re- cent Stamford wreck neared the end today, when adjournment was taken counsel for the New Haven road. said that President Charles s. Mellen would probably be able to appear next Monday afternoon. Mir. MeHen was expected to have been present today and give testimony relative to duties of high officials, but owing to a slight 1nd1sposition. the coroner excused him.
 Little new was brought out in to- days testimony. Secretary Arthur E. Clark of the road was on the stand for some time, and exhibited the orig inal copies of all contracts for roll ing stock purchased since January 1, 1912. This was in accordance with the coroner's request last week
 The coroner also asked today for all contracts for track equipment since the same date, but Mr.. Spock objected on the ground that the matter was fr- relevant. He said it would impose an unnecessary burden upon the company to search the records for something that manifeSGy had no connection with the wreck.
 Coroner Phelan was insistent, how ever and said that he did not deem 1t necessary to explain his motives in asking for the information. He read a statement as to his position in the inquiry. Counsel for the road prom ised to look into the natter and re- port later.
 F. s. Evans, chairman of the gen eral committee on adjustments of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, was recalled to the stand, and he told in detail Of the agreement recently made with the road. requiring an en- g1neer to have at least one years lex- prience in passenger service before being assigned to fast express trains. The road issued an order for two years experience, but a compromise of one year was reached. MT Evans was en1- phatic in his statement that no threats were made. and that the relations be- tween the two committees were most cordial
 David Vaughn of Danbury, another member of the brotherhood commit tee. gave similar testimony He said the engineers were ready to do every thing in thir power to, aid the road in promoting safety NO one feels the odium now being cast on the road any more than we do." he declared. Both Evans and Vaughn said in their Judgment one years experience was sufficient experience for engineers, un- der the existing conditions on the New Haven.
 Dr. Artemus Ward of Bristol. who claims to have invented an automatic train stop, was on the stand for sev- eral hours explaining a device which he said the road had rejected as being impractical.
