SUICIDE ATTEMPT CURES
ZELTNER OF RHEUMATISM

Judging from one mans experience
the prescription for cure of rheu-
matism is as follows: One eight
ineh carving knife and insert it, point
foremost, about four inches into the
abdomen. When you are discharged
from the hospital. about three
months later. the ailment will have
left you. provided your relatives have
not been called on to mourn your loss
in the meantime.
Ferdinand Zeltner. 50 years old. of
40 Winans avenue, tried the above
knife remedy, March 30. He had been
suffering from rheumatism for the
past five years. On that date, after
suffering excruciating pain, he at
tempted to take his life by plunging
=, carving knife into his abdomen.
Today he was discharging from the
City Hospital and arraigned before
Judge Herr in the Fourth Precinct
Court on a charge of attempted sui
eide and held in $500 bail for the
grand jury.
Previous to March 30, Zeltner was
forced to use a crutch or cane when
going about the house. He walked
into the courtroom today unaided.
Piainclothesman Kaas, of the Fourth
Precinct, who lives next door to Zelt-
ner, had to look at him twice before
he was sure Zeltner was the same
man who but few months ago had
hobbled about on crutches.

PRIMARY BILL IN
N. Y. IS UP TODAY
Sulzer's Measure Is Believed to
Be Foredoomed to
Defeat.

ALBANY, June 24.-Governor Sui
zers direct primary bill. to pass
which the Legislature was summoned
into extraordinary session. was ex-
pected to go to it's doom in the As
sembly late today.
According to the present plans of
the opponents of the bill the Senate
wsn finish up the Assembly's work
tomorrow. After that the Blauvelt
bin, already rejected by the gov
ernor, will be passed again.
There was some talk of compromise
today, it being intimated that the
governor was willing to listen. A
gfoup of upstate Democrats, led by
Senator Murtaugh. offered to accept
the Sulzer bill minus the abolition
OF the State convention. The ques-
ton as to whether or not the conven-
ton should be abolished was to be
left to a referendum vote of the peo-
pie Of the State next fall.
IT was believed that the Legisla-
ture would be able to dispose of all
subjects referred to it by the gov
ernor by tomorrow night. Adjourn
ment would follow, but the legisla-
tors are not counting on that very
strongly, for it was reported today
that the governor would send the
Cohalan case to them for action
either tomorrow or Thursday.
Mr.. Sulzer has said all along that
he would take no action in the Co
halan matter until the grievance
committee of the bar association files
with him report of its investigation
OF the Connolly charges.
If the bar association does not
communicate with the governor by
Wednesday, it was said today that
he will be inclined to send the Co
halan case to the Legislature with
out waiting longer.
