INFORMER SHOT BY GuNMEN

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Gangsters
this morning shot and seriously
wounded William Lustig, a brother of
one of the district attorneys detec-
tives, under circumstances similar to
the Roscnthal killing. The victim will
recover. The gang suspected that
Lustig was giving the authorities in
formation.
After midnight, accompanied by a
woman, Lustig entered "Humpty
Jackson's restaurant. He hesitated
but the woman seized his arm and led
him to a table near the door. She
insisted on facing the door. Later
she excused herself and disappeared
A black auto stopped outside. Foul
men emerged, fred at Lustig's back
wounding him thrice. The men drop
ped their weapons, re-entered the auto
and vanished before the police ar.
rived. The girl also vanished.
The police believe the shooting has
long been planned and suspect mem
bers of "Dopey Benny's" gang.

is a reaction which causes a relapse,
and the "heart failure" of which we
have often heard.
1t is beyond question that DR..
Ewald's view is that which is becom-
ing more and more the conviction of
the heads of the great hospitals Of
the country. No matter what may be
said to the contrary, the experience
of mankind in general is that alcohol
'weakens instead of Strengthening the
system. When its advocates point to
the man who has used liquor "all his
life" they merely prove that man
in. good condition and with strong
bodily organs may be able to resist
for time the inroads of alcohol upon
his system. The weak man who is
chronic user of alcohol succumbs
instead of getting stronger.
The use of alcohol both in private
practice and in hospitals is becom-
ing less every years until physicians
no longer prescribe it except in un-
usual and exceptional conditions
generally when there is state Of
collapse, and not for steady use.
In business life the user of alcohol
is being left behind in the race. The
railways and great industrial corpora
tions will not employ men for respon-
sible positions who are habitual users
of alcohol, either during business
hours or out of business hours.
When we think of how generally
alcohol was used in the last century,
in sickness and in health, and for ev-
cry function from christening to a
wedding, for hot weather and for cold,
for wet weather and for dry, and
contrast this with the present attitude
of the public upon the question, the
country, as well as our friends the
prohibitionists, should have cause for
congratulation. = Colorado Springs

his description of carrying the man
out was in practically every detail
corroborative of that given by Rig
gins.
James r. Brown was outside when
Hall was injured. After he had been
dragged to the street he helped him
to the recess of the Strater building
but did not realize he was seriously
injured.
Night Policeman Talbot answered
the red light signal at the Strater
corner about ten minutes after the
trouble occurred, and was informed
that drunken man had created some
disturbance there but had been put
out in the vicinity of the railroad
tracks. He found the man where
Brown had left him. He was help

left him. Two hours later he went

THE QUIET GLORY OF SCOTS
SHIP.


There is something peculiarly Brit
ish in the fact that Scott's famous
ship is to return to sealing on the
Newfoundland Banks. There are peo-
pie who attribute this to a lack of
imagination, sentimental people who
think that the treasure house of so
many illustrious memories should
have more spectacular destiny. They
would bespeak for the ship some place
where it would be conspicuous as a
monument to Scott and the brave fell
lows who went with him to their
death.
But we feel that the right thing
has been done. There are certain
deeds of heroism that stand out great
er in history because they were, so
to speak, accomplished as part of the
days work. 1t is when heroism be-
comes a matter of course that the su-
perhuman is evolved. Scotts ship
goes back to its sealing, to peril
ous cn!ling which demands of those
who follow ii qualities of dogged grit
aud patience that Scott himself would
have been proud Of. Its return is in
keeping with the quiet glory of the
greatest incident with which its name
is linked.-Montreal Star.

ALCOHOL IN DISEASE.

An important contribution to the
question of whether alcohol is useful
in the treatment of disease is made
by Professor Ewald, an eminent ply

him at the recent international con-
gress of physiotherapy.
Professor Ewald declared that he
had reached the CONCLUSION that in no
infectious disease has the value Of
alcohol been proved and that it d.
minishes the natural resistance to the
inroads of disease. Instead of help
ing 1t handicaps the patient because
it lowers the blood pressure, and at
best it is merely temporary stimu-

THE DISCIPLINING OF
BASEBALL HOUSEHOLDS

McGraw, manager of the New York
National league team, is very strict
with his players, but they all swear
by him, for they know that he is "on
the level" with them. The same thing
is true of McGraw's old side partner,
Hughie Jennings. They may "call"
their players numerically, in the heat
of diamond battle, for some bad
mistake, but such castigations are
like fathers reproofs to his sons,
and bear no i'll will. Let someone else
offer criticism, and these two man
ayers will fight back just like par
ent would were his sons attacksf5.
There is nothing they resent so deep
ly as newspaper criticism of their
players. They assume that they can I.
conduct their own baseball households /
without outside interference, and as
they are the parties responsible for
the showing of the tearms, they pro-
pose to do it.
Both are very h0t-headed and forS
this reason their seats on the benches
are isolated and shiny-the former
condition due to discretion on the part
of the players, and the latter to ner-
vous hitching about, melted by the
managerial view of various plays. III
some unlucky wight out on the dia-
mond happens to err, colleague
roosting close to the manager is like
ly to be the recipient of spontane-
Gus and unthinking broadside for
something not his fault, simply be-
cause the managers mind must be
freed. The actual offender generally
escapes, because so many things hap
pei. before he gets back to the bench
that his slip is forgotten.
McGraw strives eternally to drill
his baseball knowledge into the brains
OF his players. The thing he most
abhors is "bonehead" play. 1t is
for such that he chides the Giants,
not for the sort of errors that go into
the box scores. If his team should
play orthodox baseball, and yet lose
the entire 154 games of schedule, he
would not whimper. But if single
game is lost through mental inability
to grasp situation, he raves. He
cannot stand that.
Fred Snodgrass received raise in
salary for making the costliest muff
that ever marked baseball history.
But players coming under McGraw's
command who display any symptoms
of genuine ivory are palmed off on
some other unsuspecting manager be-
fore their names have had oppor-
tunity to become associated with the
term Giants" And it is a notable
tribute to his judgment that no player
ever passed along by him has made
creditable history elswhere, except
Roger Bresnahan, who was let go be-
cause McGraw liked him, not because
of dislike. Bresnahan had an oppor.
tunity to better himself and McGraw
permitted him to embrace it.-Popu-
lar Magazine.

ACCIDENT, coRoNERs VERDICT

The coroner's inquest over the body
Of Ebert S. Hall yesterday resulted
in the jury bringing in a verdict of
accidental death"
The inquest was held at the Hood
and Ames undertaking parlors. Dis
trict Attorney Lane represented the
people and conducted the examina-
ton. The witnesses testifying were
Drs. Turrell and Hobby and Messrs.
X. L. Higgins, d. c. Scott and James
Brown. The jurors were Messrs. l.
Kruschke, foreman; N. T. Thompson,
Frank Gillispie, Conrad Reister, A. r,
Springer and w. o. Jemison.
The physicians testimony in sub
stance that the fifth and sixth verte-
brae were fractured, which caused the
membrane of the spinal cord to be
torn, thickened and congested, and
that death was due to the degenera-
tion of the spinal cord caused by these
injuries.
Kenneth Riggin and d. C. Scott
were present when Hall was injured.
The former testified on the evening
of July "a about 8 o'clock he was
seated in the card room of the Stra-
ter bar playing cards with d. C. Scott
and Mike Newton. He saw Hall and
another man come in and noted that
Hall was badly intoxicated. Shortly
some loud talking was heard. 1t ap-
peared that the man who was a
stranger to the witness wanted to
leave the barroom and Hall was de-
termined they both remain. Newton
left the card table and went in where
the men were. The witness was seat
ed so screen partially obstructed his
view of the room but he saw Newton
throw or drop Hall to the floor, and
later with the assistance of Bartender
jerry Griggs drag or partly carry him
outside the door. Griggs had gun in
his hand but did not use it. When
Newton came back to finish the card
game he said to his fellow players
that he was afraid he might have
hurt Hall as his foot caught and he
might have wrerched his leg. In an
swer to the district attorneys ques-
ton us to how Hall was carried out
Higgins replied, Newton was on his
left side and Griggs on his right.
Neither struck him blow as far as
he could see. Neither did Hall en-
counter an obstruction as he fell.
d. c. Scott, special agent for the
Denver & Rio Grande, who was also
in the card room when the trouble
occurred, testified that two men enter
ed the barroom; one large man with
a light mustache and the other a
small man. The small man was using
foul language and Bartender Griggs
called him to account. Some loud
talking followed. The next he saw
