Shreveport Times, Tuesday: Statistical
information given out yesterday by Dr..
G. c. Chandler, City Health Officer, shows
remarkable improvement in health condi-
tons in Shreveport. During the first five
months of the current year, the infant
mortality among whites here was cut ex-
actly in half, compared with the record for
the same period of 1912. The aggregate
| of deaths, adults and children, was re-
duced from 2S4 to 1859, the death rate per
one thousand being 1856 for the first five
months of 1918, against 1925 for the first
five months of 1912. DR.. Chandler stated
yesterday that he attributes the falling off
in infant mortality to the vigor with which
the campaign for pure milk has been con-
Quoted in Shreveport, through his aid, Mr..
Voieht. The milk supply, he said, is un-
questionably better than it was prior to the
Inauguration of this campaign.
The preliminary survey of the proposed
interurban trolley line from Homer to Mon
roe has been finished, and the Claiborne
Guardian journal says: 1.-THE enter
prise is meeting with strong favor where it
| is proposed and we have strong hopes OF
seeing the venture become reality in a
short time. The interurban railway has
done more to bring the town and country
together in some of the Northern States
than any other medium. It has been called
the poor mans railroad and the town
builder. 1t puts the country man in direct
touch with the town. By this means the
people of the country became patrons OF
the schools and churches of the town. The
all day trip with buggy and wagon be-
comes thing of the past with large
number of farmers who flag the electric
car as it passes through or near their farms
and in short time they are in town, make
their purchases and return.

History VIII Right Him.

ST. Paul Dispatch
Henry Waterson's tribute to Samuel J.
Tlden in the Century Magazine is interest
ing not only in itself, but as calling atten-
ton to man deserving of more attention
than he has received. Perhaps the very
fact that Tilden, with philosophic serenity,
acquiesced in the decree of fate which
crowned his life with great wrong, has
caused him to be treated with neglect
that man of more violent resentments
would have escaped.
AS Mr.. Watterson says, there is hardly
man now living who has the slightest
doubt that Samuel j. Tilden was actually
elected President of the United States.
That is the calm verdict of history after
the passions of the past have died down.
To have been deprived of that high honor
was terrible tragedy. tcould have been
nothing less to man of sensitive honor.
But Tilden's attitude in that strenuous
and dangerous period has never been
enough appreciated.
In the state of public temper as it then
was, Tilden had but to lift his hand to
inaugurate new civil war. He surren-
dered the office he knew to be his by right,
peaceably and serenely, rather than assert
his rights at the cost of the nations peace
and welfare. He continued to be good
citizen, active in noble works and causes.
He lived and died quiet, unostentatious
gentleman, whose honor was never ques-
toned, and whose ability was greater than
his simplicity made apparent.
Some day his story will be told with real
truth and sympathy, and the nation will
know that Tilden was a worthy son of this
great republic.

When Rudke allied himself with the
company, he declared in his petition
to the court, he offered an unlimited
sum to advance the business. but he
drew the purse strings when he saw
much of 1t was being spent on a

JUDGE HAHN DISCOVERS
PR0CRASTINATOR KING
This Trait Only EquaIed by
BarroWman's Ingenuity.

The greatest procrastinator Judge
Hahn has ever met in a police court
was a prisoner arraigned in the Third
precinct today. So declares the Judge.
William Barrowman, of 90 Bowery
street. was complained of by his wife.
She stated that he hadn't gone to
work since last Saturday and was
spending his money in saloons.
why didn't you go to work Mon
day?' asked the court
II work in Bayonne, your honor,
and | had no carfare that's why 1
didn't go to work Monday" answered
Barrowman.
well, how about Tuesday," quered
Judge Hahn.
Z For the same reason that l
couldn't go Monday | couldn't go
Tuesday" was the answer.
"Your wife borrowed SIS from "a
loan company on Tuesday; why
didn't you 20 Wednesday," asked
the judge, satisfied that he had the
prisoner in a corner.
You see. your honor we have no
work on Thursdays, so l thought
there was no use going in on Wednes-
day for one day only"
"Of course, if there was. no work
on Thursday you could not go in
Now, what about friday

Barrowman' forehead. but once
again he was equal to the occasion

went to the mantel and turned the
card over. 1t was the four of hearts.
Beulahs error had been a very
trifling one.
The previous record of the little
girls exploits seemed to indicate that
she worked exceptionally well when
her sister Gladys had a knowledge
of the hidden object that Beulah was
called upon to name. DIR. Quaeken-
hos suggested that an experiment be
made to determine if this We're true.
So a card was selected and handed
to Gladys. All the observers watched
her to see that she did not give a
signal to her sister.
Seven" said Beulah, in less than
ten Seconds. In about Ave seconds
more she added: Spades" The
seven of spades was the card that
had been picked from the deck.
Gladys smiled happily at her sis
ter'ss triumph.
Now. in the learned opinion of the
psychologists, such feats as this were
more or less simple. Other persons
though usually much more mature
persons-had accomplished them.
So DR. Quackenbos decided to put
little Beulah to a really severe test.
He said to her and to the rest of the
company:
81 have in my trousers pocket a
curious sort of object that | have
carried for more than twenty years
/ will ask Beulah if she can tell me
what it is
The doctor did not display the OBJ
ject. Beulah, however. spelled out
correctly the letters of it's name.

TAKES CHLOROFORM IN
EFFORT TO END LIFE

Following an attempt TO commit
suicide this morning, Joseph Kruener.
an inmate of the Industrial Home. at
81 Plane street. is in the City Hospi-
tai in a serious condition from chic
reform poisoning. Kruener was dis
covered unconscious in his room at s
o'clock this morning. Detecting a
strong odor of the anasthetic about
him, the authorities at once notified
the police of the Second precinct,
who Immediately sent in a hurry call
for the City Hospital ambulance.
For while the question of whether
Kruener was the victim of an acci-
dent was in doubt, but an investiga-
ton by the police resulted in the dis
covery that he had intended TO end
his life Up to IL o'clock today he
was still unconscious.

LACKING JURISDICTION

The suit to recover $3.50 for the city
of Newark from Mrs. Mary b. Gray
without a permit, which was insti-
tuted by Attorney Laddey, of the Lee
gal Aid Society, was dismissed by
Judge Hahn today in the First Crimi-
nal Court on motion of counsel for
the defense that the court had no
Jurisdiction in the case.
Mr.. Laddey Immediately made an
other complaint against Mrs Gray,
charging her with a misdemeanor,
and bail was fixed by Judge Hahn in
the sum of 5000 for her appearance
before the grand jury.

William Powers, II years old, rum
away boy from Trenton, was taken
into custody last night at the Mar
ket street depot of the Pennsylvania
railroad by Patrolman Prest. The
youth explained to the officer that he
had lived with his widowed mother
in Trenton. and that when she could
not afford to keep him she turned him
over to friends in Bloomfield. He
said he had left his adopted home to
pay his mother visit. He begged to
be allowed to continue his journey.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The power
to look through solid substances is
among the amazing results an
nounced today in new tests of the
strange psychic powers of Beulah
Miller, the 10-year-old school girl, of
Warren, r. |.
With a sister, Beulah is visiting a
woman friend in this city. A re-
porter took the child to DR.. John b.
Quackenbos, a hypnotist and psyche
logical searcher, for an examination.
Little Miss Miller undoubtedly has
what is called X-ray vision" said DIR.
Quackenbos afterward. "She can see
through Opaque objects. | cannot ex-
plain this, nor can any other psy-
chologist. But such a thing as X-ray
vision undoubtedly exists, and Beulah
has it. 1 am willing to stand by her
exhibition of today as perfectly fan"
During the examination a pack of
cards was produced. The child was
taken out of the room.
The deck was shuffled, the doctor
drew forth a card which he didn't
look at and kept concealed from the
others in the group, and laid this
card upon the mantel shelf, face
downward No one in the room had
q chance to know what this card
was. The child was brought back.
I'VE have selected a card Beulah.
Can you tell us what it is?'' inquired
the psychologist.
After seventy-five seconds of
thought Beulah replied: -Four! It's
four, amt it? It's red. / think
it's diamonds. But I can't tell for
sure whether it's diamonds or hearts
But it's a four and it's red"
Eagerly, several of the company

DIR. POLAND ORDERED
TO REST BY DOCTOR

DR.. Addison B. Poland, city super
initendent of schools, has been con-
fined to his home in Montclair ave-
nue. for the past week with a slight
Illness. DR.. Poland is taking the rest
at the orders of his physician, who
feared that he might suffer a COM
plete breakdown If he continued at
his office.
For some time past he has been
bothered with his eyes, and has been
in a general nervous condition. His
physician states, however. that he has
subjected himself to too severe
strain in his work. After a slight
rest he will be able to resume his
work.
DIR. Poland was up and about his
house today, his condition greatly i'm
proved 1t is likely that he will go
to the country for a few days next
week.
