terry on the slope of the Blue Ridge
range, near here. is grave that has
been barren for forty years. although
the ground around it and on other
graves near 1t is covered with lux
uriant carpet of grass. According to
those who have visited the strange
grave it is so bare that 1t stands out
as a CONSPICUOUS spot, attracting the
attention of all cemetery visitors.
1t is taken as warning by the
mountain folk. who say the man who
was buried there was wicked all his
life and blasphemer. He cursed and
raved without provocation, and is said
to have died with an oath on his lips.
Although forty years have elapsed
since the man was buried there" said
a Boone man, who visited the grave,

any kind has taken root on the grave.

WAS VILLA BRUTALl

When General Villa coniscated the
vast holdings of Louis Terrazas in the
state of Chihauahua-lands that en-
braced at least third of that great
commonwealth-the were plenty of
Americans to condemn his act. Villa S
answer was that Terrazas had stolen
the lands from the people, and that
he proposed to return them to their
rightful owners.
When Villa decreed that all Fed
eral officers captured in battle should
be shot there arose an even greater
protest in the United States. Villa
said his course was justified because
it assured an early termination of the
war.
Villa has frequently been con-
demned in the United States as a
blood-thirsty bandit, man without a
soul. Yet how humane his acts now
appear when viewed in the light of
recent events in Belgium!
A country at peace with the world
giving no offense to any nation, her
neutrality guaranteed by solemn
treaty, today lies PROSTATE and in
ruins. Some of her richest and most
beautiful towns are in ashes; innocent
non-combatants have been slaughter
ed; peasants have been driven like
slaves to Germany to help harvest
the enemy's crops; Belgian capitalists
are held as hostages; while over sleep
ing Antwerp airships hover to drop
deadly bombs on the homes of the un-
offending.
Must General Villa still be called
the most ruthless warrior of our
time? Then listen to his comment
on the war which has ruined Belgium

Austria compared to the struggle OF

THOUSANDS OF
BABIES TORTURED
Foundlings and Orphans
Useo For Surgical
Experiments.
INoc LATED WITH GERMS
Charge Against New York
Hospitals.

New York.--Sensational charges that
foundlings, orphans and charity pa
tients of the public hospitals and insti-
tutions of New York have been sup
piled to medical research surgeons as
subjects for vivisection experiments
are made in report from the Ameri-
can Institute of Social Service.
Michael ]. Whitty of the institute
charges that humans have been inocu-
lated with germs of incurable disease
in hospitals owned and supported by
the taxpayers of the city. Witty
states he has the proof of all these
instances signed by the surgeons them
selves in papers prepared for medical
publications.
One of the specific charges is that a
professor of diseases in one Of the col
leges applied the tuberculin tests to
1000 children who were ward patients
in the babies hospital The doctop in
reporting his experiments wrote: "Dy-
ing children, or those who were ex-
tremely sick. did not, as a rule, react
to any of the tests"
1t is also charged that 40 patients
in one institution in the last five
months were inoculated with the germs
of dreaded contagious disease and
that in another instance LAG healthy
persons, part of whom were between
the ages of 2 and 18 years, were also
subjected to a similar test in various
New York hospitals, with the consent
of the physicians in charge.
Children in our hospitals and other
public institutions" says DR.. Whitty
''are being used by physicians for ex
periments by inoculation of vaccines
and serums, which have nothing what
ever to do with the disease or illness
from which they are suffering. The
victims of these experiments do moi
know what Is being done to them and
the consent of the. parents or guar
dians of the children who are charity
patients is not asked.
Human beings have been inoculated
with serums which have added to theiI
sufferings and have injured them per
manently. They have been made tc
breathe the poisons of small pox, diph
iberia, scarlet fever and consumption
to inhale the breath of scarlet fever
patients and have been inoculated witt
the virus of foot and mouth diseases
In many cases these experiments were
found to leave the patients in worse
condition than originally"

MARKET FOR COCKLEBURRS
Arkansas Farer Makes a Shipment

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark,-A ship
ment of a peclt~ Of cockleburrs, con
signed to Spokane, Wash, was the
unusual product given the Wells
Fargo Express Company here by j,
]. DIETRICH, Pope County farmer.
The selling of cockleburrs, which the
shipper says are used by an Indian
physician in Spokane in compound
ing salve, is very uncommon, the
product being generally considered a
nuisance.
o. Henry, author of "Cabbages and
Kings" once used the burrs to good
advantage in his fiction, consign-
ment of the burrs being scattered
over the streets of small town in
the torrid zone to compel the natives
to buy shoes.

Police Committee Approves Sixth
Ward Licenses and Unity Over
Colcord's Protest.

Indications of a fight to prevent the
granting of licenses to some locker
clubs were given Monday when Chair
man A. r. Colcord, of the police com
mittee, opposed the licenses of the
Sixth Ward and Unity Clubs. A ma
jority of the police committee, in TAX
ing final action on applications fol
licenses, approved all of them, in
Guiding three new clubs, the Moose

Chairman Colcord said he did no,
know whether he would make a fight
on the floor of Council or not, but
that he was opposed to granting IL
censes to the Unity and Sixth Ward
Clubs, and that he would so report to
Council.
Though they have biven no init

of members of Council have positive
opinions that the Council has been
too liberal in granting licenses to
clubs and it is probable that they
will register protest when Council
