Kansas City Mo, Nov. 2n.-Eight Off
Gals and agents of the Florida Fruit
Lands Co. were indicted by the federal
grand jury here. this afternoon. on a
charge Of conspiracy to use the mails
to defraud in connection with the sale
of $4,000 acres of land in the Everglades
district. of Florida to 12.ool purchases in
various states.
Those named in the indictments are:
Richard J. Bolles, Jacksonville. Fla:
George \. Paddock. Chicago: Jesse L.
Billingsly, Jacksonville, Fla, and John
Mathews, j. H. Martin, J. II. Borders
Edward c. Chambers and \. d. Harl OF
Kansas City. Each was indicted on q
counts.
The Florida Fruit Lands Co, organ
lied. four years ago, by r. J. Boles OF
Jacksonville. Fla. is said to control near
ly 100000 acres of land in the Everglades.
1t is alleged that $4,000 acres We're plac-
ed in the hands of Robert j. Martin and
Joseph II. Borders, sales agents in Kan
sas City, and by them sold in small
tracts to 12,000 persons, mostly in Kansas
City and adjoining territory. 1t was said
that more than go was involved in
the sales contracts and that more than
100000 has been paid to the company,
Some of the purchasers said their
tracts were entirely under water and
could be reached only by boat. Company
agents assert that the state of Florida
was under contract to drain the tracts
and that canals soon are to be dug and
the land put in condition for cultivation.
Deeds to lands purchased by 1900 per-
sons were executed and distributed to
the owners. Several weeks ago. the
trustees brought suit against the com.
pany to recover S15,p0 for their services
This suit is now pending.
An unusual incident Of the investigation
was the formal petition of Herbert :
Hadley, former governor of Missouri and
attorney for some of the officials of the
land company, for leave to introduce GER
tain witnesses before the grand jury. The
petition charged that sylvester r. Rush
assistant attorney general, was refusing
to admit certain witnesses who he believ-
ed would testify in the companys favor
Judge Youmans denied the petition OF
the ground that to do otherwise would
upset the entire system of federal grand
jury Investigations.

When Albert T. Patrick was con-

Of Rice whose will made him the chief
beneficiary, one OF the few people who
believed in his innocence was Miss
Addie NJ. Frances, his flancee. She
demonstrated her affection and con-
f7dence by marrying him in the very
shadow OF the Tombs and for the next
twelve years devoted her every effort
TO securing tds freedom. She spent

ty In rendering the bill to the coun-
ty for the five that Mr.. Owens had
paid was inadvertently substituted
for one of the Ave that he had not

for the unjust charge made in the
Journal yesterday morning as follows.
There was also shown in this con-
nection that the sheriff has collected
the fines and costs of one negro from
Mr.. Owens and at the same time had
collected the amount from the county.
1T is true that the evidence We'd
nesday tended to show that charges
had BEEN made for mileage for each
prisoner arrested and brought to Jail
where more than one prisoner had
been brought by one deputy. AS to
this matter, can only say what ]

MAY SELL WATCHES
AT CUT RATES NOW

New York, Dec. 1s.-The United
States circuit court of appeals TODAY
decided that the Waithan Watch Com
pany Of Waltl1aIn, Mass, could not
force Charles A. Keene, a New York
teweler to stop selling their watches
at cut prices. The court affirmed the
decision OF the federal district court
without opinion.
Keene bought the company's watches
abroad at a price lower than that
charged by jObbers here and sold them
for less than the price set by the
manufacturer for the domestic retail
trade. The decision Is in line with
reCert decisions of the United States
supreme court that the manufacture
OF a patented or copyrighted article
cannot fix the retail price.

tfmation we ever had that any differ
emf practice would govern was at the
1Dccember meeting OF the board when
the clerk for the first time / am In
formed, called for an ftemized state
ment of the mileage covered by my
bills rendered at that time.
Another instance OF the unfairness
OF the statement. that have appeared
In the public print with reference to
these jurors, is that of j. r. Gray.
The Journal says that / charged eighty
miles and Travelled none. The only ev-
fdence for that is that J. r. Gray says
that Tom F1llingim, a young man
about grown, handed him the sum-
mons as juror. Upon investigation
after the meeting Wednesday, find
that this was served by Mr.. Crawford,
one of my deputies residing in the
city. Dir. Crawford was advised that
Gray boarded with the F1lling1nas. but
was temporarily away from home. and
consequently left the summons at the
FilIingtms' for Mr.. Gray.
.As already stated, the menoran-
dum handed to the clerk by my Of
was not intended as an itemized state
ment OF mileage charged. but even II 1t
was, the charge OF eighty miles for
Bervi1g Gray was q legitimate charge,
the statement that no miles were trav-
eIIed IN serving him is absolutely
false.

further explanations as to these jury
charges.

The Days of Surgery are
Near the Close Says Prom
inerlt Local Physician

ssrhe DAYS of surgical torture are
near the close said the chief spec
ialist at the German-American Medi-
cal Institute, yesterday. Women BY
ticn today, who five years ago would
have been put under the knife and q
percentage OF them, of course would
Rave lost their lives" The Forward
strides of medical science have placed
the old doctor, who has not kept UP
with the times, In the background and
there is no place in modern medal
practice for him. Experience Eoeans
much, but with it must be combined
the discoveries OF science since col
lege days.
The specialist IN diseases OF women
and children has allowed nCehIng in
the way of new discoveries to pass
without making use of them. The
scientists of Germany announced that
an operation for ovarian troubles was
needless when they originated medi-
cines and methods that would abso-
lutely cure these cases. Since then
countless thousands OF women have
been saved the terrors OF an opera
ton; they are as sound and healthy
as they ever were apd have not been
wickedly deprdv we'd of their functions.
The danger of an operation is deeply
impressed when a person is ADVISED
to make viii always before going
to the hospital for surgical treatment.
The Gernan-Anerican doctors have
saved hundreds of Southern women
from the agony. These specialists have
treated and cured patients where the
family doctor had advised, and in fact,
said that an operation was the only
hope. 1t is therefore folly TO walk
into a hospital, simply because one
physician recomn ends that method.
The specialists at the German
American Medical Institute ara daily
advising women as to the best course
in their particular case. There Is no
charge at the first visit and the effort
may mean the very life of the pa
tient.
The German-A1nerican Medical In
stitute Is in the Thiesen Building. The
specialists are on duty from a. m
until s p. m. during the week and on
Sundays from 8 a. m. until 1 D. m

eases. They have separate waiting and

The most adroit scheme yet reported
to beat the gas meter and get gas for

explained 1t by saying that he was
using gas as he had done for years.
but that he did not drop any quarters
In the slot because the gas kept com

put in. but the next collection trip did
not bring any quarters, nor were there
slugs or any other substitutes found in
the meter. Every few days then q
newly tested meter was put In, but

the company found no quarters.

and took the inspectors to his little

mold to cast disks about the size Of
quarters. In this he poured water, and
then In few seconds. by means Of an
ether spray freezing machine, such as
Is in common use In science, he froze
the water. Thus he had an ice disk

came.
