APIECE TO MEDICAL STUDENTS

BUDAPEST. Oct. A sensation
has been caused here by the formal
charge today that the employees of
the morgue, have been selling human
corpses for 81 20 each to medical stu
dents for scientific purposes" When
Frau FRANKS Voros went to the
morgue to claim the body of her
mother who had died suddenly, she
was advised that it had been sold to
the Anatomical Institute of the Uni

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--The new
tariff bill, which was signed yesterday
by President Wilson, will be running
smoothly within 10 days according to
a declaration of customs officials
who today began to grapple with the
measure which becomes effective to-
day.
Because of the fact, however that
the administering OF the statute will
necessitate some delay until the Off
cials have wholly mastered 1t, eollec-
tors were advised TO assess under the
old rule temporarily in order. to per-
init the immediate importation of
merchandise. But all merchandise
worth from 10 to hundred million
dollars was held in bonded warehous-
es to await the duties under the new
law.
WASHINGTON. oct. Oscar Tn
derwood. majority leader. warned con-
Bumers today they must not expect
the lower duties will greatly affect the
high cost of living for several months.
perhaps a year. He said the merch-
ants must sell their goods bought un-
der the old high tariff before they
will be disposed TO accept the new or
der OF things.
THE goods that merchants have on
their shelves now" said Underwood,
'were bought on the old high tariff
basis Unless these merchants dis
pose of their present stock. naturally
they will not be inclined TO accept the
new order of things. The same will
be true OF manufacturers who have on
hand raw materials bought at high
toriff figures For instance, the new
wool tariff will not be felt until March,
while the full reduction or sugar will
not be felt for at least three years.

FACE FILLED WITH BIROSHOT
William Webster's Son Shot to Death
and He Shoots Abner Green
in Self Defense.

AMERICUS.-Going to the home
of William Webster, a negro farmer
living near DeSoto, in Lee county
near the Sumter line, Abner Green, a
Sumter white farmer, is alleged to
have shot Webster's con to death
and was firing on the father when
Webster returned the fire, peppering
Green's face with birdshot.
AS soon as the shooting was over
Webster hunted an officer and sur
rendered himself, requesting protec-
ton. He was brought here and plac-
ed in the Sumter Jail, and under in
structions of Judge Littlejohn will
remain there. Trouble is apprehend-
ed should Webster be taken back to
the scene of the shooting, and a
lynching would be probable.
According to Webster's statement
Green went to his home and shot
Webster's son to death. Next he be-
gan firing on Webster, when Webster
shot in self defense, using single
barrel shot gun, hitting Green in the
face, putting him out of the battle.

they galloped through the town OF
Belgrade. the two eldest brothers
carrying their prisoners before them
across their horses.
The father Sakaroff's tears and
cries were useless; no one started in
pursuit. The authorities ordered q
company of Albanian soldiers to
overtake the party, but the officer in
command, on learning what had hap
pened, would not leave the town
and would make no effort against the
boyard, seeing that the judgment
had been given in due and proper
form, as it would be sacreligious to
prevent family justice from being
carried out.
Sakaroff in despair determined to
go himself and reclaim his sons from
the boyard. Taking an escort he
reached Borozclajova. AS he ap-
preached the castle he saw near the
walls the shapeless bodies of his two
sons and the blood stained skins were
hung on a gibbet in the face OF the
main entry. Nearby were the be-
headed bodies of the two girls.
As Sakaroff cried and rolled in the
dust, tearing his hair and beard in
grief, the boyard and his sons came
forth.
Justice is done" said Douka Or
Itch, weep and take away your
sons bodies. We only wish to keep
their skin, which shall cover the cof-
fms of my daughter and niece"
The unhappy Sakaroff betook him
self to the archbishop, who at that
time administered Montenegro, and
demanded vengeance for his sons
murder. The Council of the An
clients was called together, but it
decided that in such circumstances
the family tribunal had the right to
judge, condemn and execute, and
that the boyard had not exceeded his
rights

ing many of the dangers both of flying
and of high speed boating. The pro-
peller is located at the bow of the boat
and pulls the machine along instead OF

peller drives the air blast through the

ANT PEST CREEPS NORTHWARD
DESTROYING ALL IN ITS PATH
Destructive Life Taking Insect Marching Up From
South. Invades Everything in the House.

from the infested territory that the
reports of infant fatalities due to the
ants are found. Authentic cases are
found by the hundreds, the experts
say, where the ants had covered the
bodies of babies and crawled into their
mouths. ears and nOstrils-
So destructive is the Argentina ant
to certain forms of vegetation that In
southern Louisiana land values are
governed to a considerable extent by
the presence or absence Of this ant
The insect is partial to nectar and
causes it to be feared by those who
raise flowers. II 1t cannot reach the
honey in a blossom otherwise. 1t will
cut its way to it. This has been found
highly destructive to certain fruits.
among them oranges Some garden
seeds also find favor with the ants.
and this is why cornmeal always is
sown with lettuce seed in an ant in
tested district. While the ants are
harvesting the meal the lettuce seed
has time to sprout Otherwise the ants
would eat the lettuce seed.
Fondness For Other Pests.
Another peculiarly Of this ant is
its fondnesS for the excretions of
plant lice, mealy bugs and many other
insect pests. In the case of the mealy
bug the ant erects a shelter for the
bug and cares for him much as a
dairyman cares for his cows. This

straight and truthful statement They
| also say that in almost every instance
where the ants are in attendance upon
! plant bugs and lice the bugs and lice
! flourish and multiply. This has been
more pronounced in corn and sugar
cane regions The Argentina ant also
| exterminates other and useful species
| of ants as fast as it comes into contact
with them. which is another potent
! reason to call the Argentina ant an un-
! desirable.

in New Orleans twenty years ago. II

of the country, has densely infested

covered six counties in Mississippi and

of Louisiana it has reached practically
to the Arkansas line. Its movement to
the north has been by railroad, and the

READING DEAD MANS BRAIN?
Believed Thoughts Were Visible. Man
Makes a Strange Request in
His Will,

Cambridge Mass.-Scientists in the
Harvard Medical school are trying to
read the brain of the late DR.. Maurice
Howe Richardson. ex-member OF fac
ulty of that institution. The examina-
tons are being conducted secretly in
the neuropathological department and
under the direction of DR.. e. E. South
ard.
DR.. RichardsCa was firm believer
that thoughts made definite lines in
the brain. and the present examination
is being CONQUERED in accordance with
his wishes as expressed in his will
He believed that a persons thoughts
were recorded and were at the time
of thinking visible on the outer walls
of the cerebrum. He held that If these
lines were read and the seat of the
thought located it would make it pos
sible to correct defects in the brain by
surgical operations.
