FRIEDMAN TOUCHED BY GIRLS
TEARS GAVE HER TREATMENT

ICHN0 \HVE TEX KEN mENI
Montreal, Quebec, March 11.-Ma-
RE Rancour, 16, touched the heart of
DR.. F. F. Friedman, the Berlin scien-
fist here to demonstrate his cure for
tuberculosis, and was one of the first
cases treated by the physician.
Her face mantled by the peculiar
flush of tuberculosis, the child, frail ]
and wasted by the disease, was one
OF the first to appear this morning
at the hospital where friedman was i
conducting his tests.
Her case is pulmonary, and in an
advanced stage. friedman had said
he would not treat such cases until
his cure was proven. But the, doc
tor was unable to resist the appeal
of the little girl
Alone she had made the trip from
the wilds of Northern Canada. Her
father and mother are both dead,
victims of the white plague. Hours
before the doctors train, reached
Montreal she was at the hospital.
She seated herself on a bench in
the ante-room, where she would be
sure to be seen as soon as the phys
ician arrived When the doctor pass
ed through the room Marie was the
first to catch his gaze. In mute ap-
peal, her fever-brightened eyes burn
ed hopefully.
Friedman was plainly affected by
the child's faith in him. He looked
at the prepared chart of her case;
shook his head, and muttered some
thing in German. Then he looked at |
the girl again.
Tears filled her eyes, and she was
on the verge of breakdown from
nervousness. 1t was plain she be-
ieved friedman could save her if |
he would try. Little Marie won.
''We will try" declared friedman
to the doctor who accompanied him.
Marie was the first taken into the |
operating room.

ty cases were selected by the hos

friedman, however, promised to
instruct doctors in the administration
of his remedy, so that they might
later treat all who come.
At the conclusion of the clinic DIR.

hospital, said:
'Dr. friedman is master of his
profession, and very skilled oper-
ator He used his own instruments

least forty Chicago men, some of
them prominent in business and in
surance circles, will be indicted for

Several of the men named by Fink
will be questioned by the states at

UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian RevoIutionlsts.

Any one familiar with the construc-
tion of modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used In them
would naturally suppose cannon
made of wood would be of little or no
value as a weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success. neverthe
less. In recent revolutions in Cuba.
Haiti and in the Dominican republic.
The wood used In the construction
OF these crude weapons is a very
tough variety. having twisted grain
that curls about the log In such a way
that to split the timber with the or
dinary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected. and
piece of the log five or six feet in
length and about one foot in diameter
is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round. 1t Is
swung up on crude truss and hole
is burned into 1t from one end The
log is wound with strips OF rawhide
cut from the skin of steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
Of hide, another layer is wound on.
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches In diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to a hot draft. which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success in number of In.
stances, and 1t is astonishing the num-
ber of times they may be fred before
they burst or become otherwise dis
abled.-Harper's Weekly.

WILSON TO ASSIST
CONGRESS WILL BE AIDED IN
LEGISLATIVE WORK IS THE
PRESENT PLAN.
HAS SUGGESTIONS TO OFFER
New Presidents Program In Which
House Leaders Concur, Is to Keep
Eyes Of Nation Conferred on a Sin
gle Issue.

Washington, ID. C.-President Will
son will take a hand himself in fran
ing legislation with congress. With
the cooperation of party leaders in
the house and senate he proposes to
work over tariff, currency and other
important measures ever before they
are introduced and to lend the weight
of h administration to the support
of the bills.
This information and the fact the
president will endeavor, in forwarding
his policies, to use personal persua-
sion not only with members of his
own party, but with progressive Re-
pubiicans who are inclined to be
friendly, came from those who have
talked with him since his Inaugural
ton.
The president does not plan to draft
legislation. but intends by suggestion
to come to an agreement upon spe-
cific measures with the party leaders.
1t has not been determined whether
currency will be taken up at the spe-
cial session. 1t was learned that when
the president believes the time is ripe
for such legislation he will call into
conference such men rs Representa-
tive Glass Of Virginia, head Of the sub
committee that has been investigating
currency questions. to agree upon the
outline Of a bill that would have ad-
administration backing. Such a process,
the president believes, would discour-
eAge the Hood Of individual bills and
would concentrate the efforts of party
headers toward. some kind of agree
sment In advance of public discussion.
ut Is also believed this method would
steady the ervou system of the bust
ness world when subjects SO vital as
the tariff and currency are being re-
vised.

$4,000 TURKS TAKEN
GREEK SOLDIERS CAPTURE ia
NINA AFTER TERRIFIC FIGHT.
Troops Are Sunk by the Ottoman
Cruiser Hamidieh.

Athens, Greece, March S.-The
Turkish fortress of Janina, key to
the possession of the province OF
Epirus, with its garrison Of $4,000
men, surrendered to the Greek army
Thursday, after a defense which
forms one of the most brilliant cpl
sodes Of the Balkan war. The sur
render was preceded by a fierce bonn
bardment, lasting without cessation
for two days and two nights.
Not fewer than 10000 shells were
fired by the Greek guns during the
first days cannonade. Gradually the
Turkish batteries Of BiZani, Manoliara,
Sakni and elsewhere were silenced.
BY a feint the Greek commanders led
the Turks to believe that their attack
would be made from the right. AS
soon as the attention of the defenders
had been distracted the Greeks hurled
large bodies of infantry against the
Turkish left. The Ottoman troops, ut
terly surprised. fell back in disorder.
The batteries On the heights of BIZ
zani, the mainstay of the defense. had
been unable to stand the pelting Of
the shells and were reduced to silence
at eleven o'clock in the morning. The
Greeks pushed their forward move
ment during the Afternoon and occu-
pied the Turkish batteries OF the SAX
nj and Elias hills, capturing all the
guns and ITO artillerymen. Then the
Greek battalions gradually deployed
onto the plain in front of the city it
self.
