New Ena!and's ADVANTAGE.

Here is how the spirits of the wise
sit In the clouds and mock us. Even
at the risk Of arousing western preju-
dice. I maintain that New England
and all broken, billy, rocky countries
have a decided advantage over re-
eions of great fertility, in that human
stupidity and mole-eyed greed can
never wholly divest them Of forests
that their sterile crags and steep &C.
cliyities must mainly be left to wood

ARTHUR PELKEY
is EXONERATED

Calgary, May pa coroner's jury to-

prize ring here Saturday.
Pelkey's preliminary hearing late to-
day on the police charge of manslaughter
was adjourned until tomorrow. Pelkey' $

Referee Ed Smith, Tommy Burns, Will
liam McCarney, McCartys manager, to-
gether with a dozen attendants and news
paper men, were cited as witnesses at
the hearing tomorrow.
The course of investigation planned was
somewhat changed today as result of
the discovery last night that McCarty S
death was due to a blow to the jaw which
dlslocated the neck and not to a blow
to the heart. Dr. II. II. Moshier. who
conducted the autopsy, testifying today,
said blow on the edge of the right jaw,
the dislocation of the fourth cervical ver-
tebra, the hemorrhage of the brain that
followed and the forcing of blood into the
spinal canal were the causes of Nc
Carty's death.
Despite the verdict of the jury Pelkey
was again placed under arrest by the
mounted police at midnight. The uneX-
pected action caused considerable specu-
lation as to the next move to be taken
by the authorities.

QUIET RESENTMENT
ATTITUDE OF JAPAN
Mabie Talks of Japanese
SituatiOn-Just Returned
From Japan

San Francisco, May 26.--"Quiet resent
ment is the attitude of Japan toward the
legislative action of California said
Hamilton Wright Mabie, man of letters,
journalist and lecturer, on his return to
America today from Japan, where he
spent several months delivering a series
of so addresses on American ideals and
character
War talk, he continued lis a product
of the yellow journals and yellow politic-
ians. The attitude of the substantial
press and Influential statesmen is COM
pletely restful and moderate
THE people of Japan feel that Cali
fornia is friendly to all nations and espe-
cially to Japan. The Japanese are not
angry. but they do feel astounded at
the passage of the alien land law by the
California legislature. They believe the
matter could have been taken up between
the two reciprocally, instead of by what
seems to them the arbitrary act of one
of the sovereign states"
Juichi Soyedo, former vice minister of
finance and now owner of a chain of
banks. and his travelling companion. r.
Kamiya,s secretary of an inland chamber
of commerce, also arrived today from
Japan. They emphasized the fact that
they came unoffcally. Both deprecated

ATLANTA|N IN GRIP Of
POLITICAL TURMOIL
Tangled Situation Resulting
From Phagan Murder
Investigation

Atlanta, May 26.-There was no abate-
ment today of the tumoil which has arisen
in local political and police circles by the
charges of bribe offering, graft and in
competency in connection with the inves-
tigation of the Mary Phagan murder
case. Statements and counter statements
We're issued by each faction, each attack
ing the other side to the controversy.
One of the interesting developments of
the day was the publishing of statements
indicating that two of the best known bri-
vate detective agencies in the country
that have been engaged in the attempt to
solve the Phagan murder, are at logger
heads. Another angle to this collateral
quarrel was given when it became known
that the local police officials have been
seeking information from police depart
ments of other cities to discredit the re-
Fort here OF one OF the agencies.
Chief of Police James L. Beavers and
Chief of Detectives N. A. Lanford today
issued statements declaring their intention
of laying before the Fulton county grand
jury next Friday, charges that Mayor
James q. Woodward and Attorney
Thomas b. Fielder and others attempted
to obtain possession of certain papers re-
lating to the Phagan case held by the
police. Chief Beavers also declared he
will ask the grand jury to investigate
Felder's charges that graft exists IN the
city police and detective departments.
Mayor Woodward, in his statement is
sued today, denied Chief Beavers asser-
tion that he was eager for the resoratioa
of the segregated district. Woodwar
also declared that If Beavers and Lam
ford instigated the scheme TO use the
secret telephone device against him and
Fielder, they were unfit to hold Office

Health Officer Recommends
Prohibition of New Tu-

New York. May 26.-Dr Joseph J..
| O'Ccnnell Wealth officer of the port of
New York, sent letter today to Health
Commissioner I.ederle requesting him to
submit to the board of health at its next
meeting a resolution prohibiting the adj
ministration of the friedman treatment
for tuberculosis in New York, until such
time as those interested affrmattvely in
its administration shall satisfy the health
department Of its innocuous character
Reports of the investigator of your de-
partment," reads the letter in part are
that dangers which might be apprehended
in such form of treatment are actually
present therein. He finds that patients
subjected to this treatment have not inn
proved, but have lost ground.
'IIe finds that where the tuberculosis
conditions had affected one side prior to
innoculation with the serum tsic) there
was after such inoculation an unnaturally
rapid development of the tubercular pro-
cess on the hitherto healthy side, which
indicates that the operation of the alleged
cure had a tendency to accelerate rather
than retard the progress of the disease
ut seems to me that 1t would be culp-
able for us to longer hesitate, and thai
our duty now is to insist upon such
regulation and supervision of this enter
prise as shall prevent the perpetration
upon the public of a dangerous and cruel
fraud.
'The wide advertisement of the serum
has had an effect of awakening a final
and pitiful hope in the breasts of the
desperately Ill. which shrewd and con-
scienceless men might turn into an i'm
merse financial profit There has been
time and opportunity in plentiful measure
extended to Dir. Friedman and those who
propose similar remedies for tuberculosis
to demonstrate the therapeutic value of
their treatments but there has been no
such demonstration of value On the
other hand we have before us reports of
the gravest character"

NO CONVICTION
UNDER WEBB ACT

Knoxville, Tenn, May 26.-That no
convictions can be secured under the
provisions OF the Webb act was the
statement of Judge e. T. Sanford in
his charge to the federal grand jury
today.
The Webb act was regarded as an act
that had no power to infict a penalty
and. therefore. it was explained. no con-
victon could possibly be secured under
its provisions. It's chief worth was stated
to be that 1t removed interstate shippers
of LIQUOR from the protection of federal
legislation and gave the states greater
freedom in enforcing their respective
state liquor laws.
