UNABLE TO STEAL
WAY INTO PRISON
YOUNG WOMAN SEEKS CURE FOR
COCAINE HABIT BUT COURTS
BAR HER.

Birmingham, Ala, July 11.-For over
week the problem of how to assist a
woman pleading to get into the peni-
Tertiary, but whom the law bars from
prison, sorely puzzled Mrs. NJ. w. Sea-
right, head of the City Welfare depart
ment. Several years ago Dolly Gil
more, just out of the New York High
school with honors in languages, pref
ty and deeply in love, married. A short
time later she was deserted by her hus-
band, and was compelled to make her
living. She drifted to Jacksonville,
Fla. The cocaine habit came next.
Had to Forget.
81 just had to have something to
make me forget" she told Mrs. Sea
right, "and cocaine alone would do it.
From an infrequent user l became adj
dicted to the habit and was soon help
less to resist it."
The woman wanted to reform, and
thinking to escape, came to Birming-
ham. Here her drug habit stood in the
way of a position and a livelihood. The
sale of cocaine was watched so close
ly here she says she could not obtain
it. She then turned to laudunum ito
make her forget"
The young woman, still comely and
bright of intellect, begged Mrs. Sea-
right to have her put in jail, but Judge
Alternately of the Court of Common
Pleas said he could not legally act
on a voluntary plea of vagrancy and
send the Gilmore woman to the state
penitentiary. He could only send her
to a county prison, and advised Mrs.
Starlight to apply to Judge Fort of the
County Criminal Court. That official
said he could sentence the woman to
the state penitentiary for nothing but
grand larceny. The Gilmore woman's
face then frightened with an idea.
Proposes She Steal.
81 will steal a ring, a watch, or some
thing, and plead guilty" she said. But
Judge Fort held that a she had been
advised of the proposed theft it would
make him party to the conspiracy
to sentence the woman.
Appeals were then made to the gov
ernor, but he decided he had no juris'
diction In the matter, stating that
prisoners could be sentenced to the
penitentiary only for grand larceny.
Nothing could be done but to send
the woman to the city Jail, and appeal
to the city to treat her there for the
habit. She seems content as volun-
tary prisoner and declares she Will
reform and equip herself for teaching

Explorer Tells Thrilling
Story of Elephant Fight

Washington, D. c., July 11.-Carl
E. Akeley, African explorer, in a COM
munication to the National Geographic
Society, at Washington, D. c., tells of
an elephant ''flrst-aid brigade" made
up of the female elephants of a herd,
which not only attempted to give sue
cor to their wounded Sultan" but
went on patrol duty" in an effort to
punish his assailant.
While hunting elephants in Uganda,
Mr.. Akeley came upon a herd in a
clearing, rounded up in close forma-
ton, conscious of the presence of an
unseen enemy. There were about rs
elephants, mostly cows, and just as /
was on the point of backing off to
safer distance, thinking there were no
big bulls in the lot, fine pair of tusks
appeared on the near side," he says.
"a clump of bushes offered cover for
near approach, and l went in quickly
to within 20 yards of him, and as his
front leg was thrust forward, Offering
a good opportunity for a heart shot,

clustered about the bull, for he had

doing their best to get him upon his
feet: the remainder of COWS were do

valorem taxes at the same rate.
The settlement is said to be very
favorable one for the state authorities,
as the state gets large increase in
revenue from these two roads and
there will be no danger of the
revenues being tied up during the
present year.
The secretary Of the railroad COM
mission, James Galceran, will snake

Jackson, Miss, July 1.-THE attor-
ney generals office, the railroad COM
Iesion and the Illinois Central and
II N& NJ. v. railroads have reached an
agreement of the litigation between
the state and the railroads growing
out of the taxes and privilege taxes
against the carriers, which has been
pending in the courts for some time,
: and in which the federal court rem
'dered a decision, from which decision
appeals were prosecuted by both the
state and railroads. The federal court
decided that the privilege taxes were
void and sustained the states conten-
4 ton as to the ad valorem taxes.
Under the settlement reached the
railroad companies agree to pay priv
ilege taxes for both the Y. & M. V.
and l. c., and to pay in full assessment
on the Y. & NJ V. on the basis fixed
by the commission in 1918, which was
a large increase over 1912 in property
valuations. They also agree to pay
half of the increase made over the
1912 assessment on the Illinois Cen
trail
The litigation arose in 1918, when
the railroad commission made these
assessments against these roads. An
junction was filed in the federal
yburt against the commission sending
out assessment rolls and the collec-
ton of the taxes. The state was rep
resented in the litigation by Attorney
General Ross A. Collins and Assistant
Attorney General Geo. H. Ethridge.
At the time the litigation arose
Gov. Brewer offered to employ special
counsel to assist the attorney general
In handling the litigation but the lat
ter declined to accept assistance,
deeming it matter to be handled
exclusively by his office force.
The hearing was held before three
y Judges in Birmingham, who granted
temporary injunction and the case was
finally heard before Judge Miles in
jackson, who decided the case as
stated above.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 1O.-Forcible
opposition to the teaching of sex
hygiene in the public schools was
brought out at the convention of the
National Education Association, in ses-
sion here.
Speakers were bitter in their criti-
clsm of parents for shifting their duty
in the instruction of their children on
sex matters, but said that it was no
less their duty.
Miss A. d. Moorman, who said she
was principal and one of the teachers
in small, fashionable public school
in Kansas City, called the neglect by
the parents of their children criminal
She said it was not knowledge of sex
matters the children needed, as many
of them already knew more of that
than their teachers.
IF the children had the same protec
ton in the home as they have in the
school, said Miss Norman, "they
would be pure and modest. The lack
of protection given to the children Of

experience does not bear this out.
Three bulls that we have shot, having
tusks each weighing over 100 pounds,
have been herd bulls. We have found
the large old bulls enjoying the society
and protection of large herds of cows
and young animals. One splendid old
bull we'll known in Urganda, who has
been seen by many hunters, is so we'll

aggressive COWS, who charge at the
slightest intimation Of danger, that he
still survives. These old bulls are
very rare, for when one has developed

age and develop full growth of ivory.
"At another time, | was watching a
herd from an ant hill, when from the
cows there was low, ominous rumble
like distant thunder, which was plain
talk and meant trouble. A hasty
glance around convinced us that there
was but one thing to do, to stand and

found Doan's Kidney Pills to be fine
remedy and know they are good for
kidney complaint and backache. The
strongest case that ever came to my
attention was one OF the family who
suffered for long time from kidney
trouble, having weak back and dlsor-
ders of the kidney secretions. Doan's
Kidney Pills brought fine relief.
We got this remedy at Fields Drug
Store and don't hesitate to recommend
it,"

On March %, 1914, Mrs. Langford
said: 81 am as firm a believer in the
merit of Doan's Kidney Pills now as
when l gave my former endorsement
of them. The one in the family who
took Doan's Kidney Pills never COM
