ARGUMENTSMADE
IN BRUNER CASE
BEFORE GRAVES
Lawyers Debate Motion to
Quash Indictments in the
Circuit Court.
is FAULTY INFORMATION
In Cain Escape Charge, It Is Alleged
by Defense That Renting Gam
bling Device Is Not Crime.

Judge T.. c. Graves in circuit court
today heard arguments on the motion
to quash the FIVE indictments which
have been returned against Sheriff o.
L. Bruner. J. T. and 5. r. Kenworthy
and J. X. Scott appeared for Bruner
and States Attorney F. +. Thompson
and William McEniry for the state.
Judge r. w. Olmsted went to Cam
bridge today to handle the court work
there while Judge Graves is here. 1t
is expected that the arguments will
not be concluded until tomorrow.
Faulty Information.
The principal point which the de-
Tense is making in the Cain escape
Indictment, which was argued this
was that the information flied
by former States Attorney l.. NJ. Ma
gill against Cain was faulty. He was
with renting a gambling de-
vice and the defense alleges that the
does not state whether
the devise was rent to or rented
from" some person.
II was the contention of the state
that this point is not material, since
the county judge who sentenced Cain
had Jurisdiction and Cain plead guilty
to the charge. 1t was urged that al
though the information did not state
from whom he rented a machine or to
whom he rented. the indictment
against Bruner for the escape of Cain
was good.

wish to stimulate the proprietors OF springs
throughout the country to have scientlhc an

springs. particularly Saratoga, is not IN any
way personal, but / believe that many OF the
so-called springs throughout the country have

Certain springs in this country have no
claim to serious consideration. The result
of a recent suit in Washington against

water.

The Saratoga springs are under adequate
scientific safeguard, dnu 'hey nave Wv

They have among them saline springs OF the
highest value. The Saratoga magnetic spring
has an iron water that is almost exactly
similar to the more famous spring OF st. MO-

every year, and the radio-activity OF certain
Saratoga waters makes the resort admirable

1.-The laboratory of the state reservation, pre-
serving close relations with the laboratories OF
the State Department of Health, Is IN the
large Hathorn Building. and here the analyses
of waters are made, as well as bacteriologica
examinations, the assaying OF rock and MIN
eral. and also the determination of carbonic
acid gas and degree of radio-activity presented
by the different waters.
The radio-activity of Saratoga waters IS que
to dissolved radium salts to an unusual Degree
and is therefore persistent. The effect OF ra-
dunn salts taken internally is computed to last
about three days.

There are medicinal springs Of one sort or

he said. "and l decided that mud just suited

DR.. Baruch pointed out the danger of fakery
in irresponsible quarters, saying that he hoped
the medical colleges would give lectures on
hydrotherapy, especially in the post graduate
schools, which are preparing the doctors who
in future VII treat American patients who have
been in the habit of going abroad for the bath
treatments. DR.. Baruch himself has given such
lectures. and has also lectured before the Sara
toga County Medical Society. He was asked
at one time to go abroad to visit the most
prominent health resorts with a view to max
ing suggestions for the improvement OF Amer
lean baths He has organized bath at Paso
Robes, CAL and held the professors chair of
hydrotherapy at the College Of Physicians and
Surgeons.
MENTALITY OF THE PHYSICIAN OF
FIRST IMPORTANCE.
II hold the view, ! have said before,
that il a doctor wishes to send patient abroad
for treatment at some one of the spas it is more
important for him to know the mental qualifi-
cation of the doctor at the baths than the
chemical properties OF the waters that compose
them" said DR.. Baruch. That is the key to
success in giving the bath treatment, and that
is the reason wiz / believe the doctors Of the

WV HAT are the doctors going to do
NM with the patients that were for
Wv merly sent by them to the great
European spas and baths where
health and pleasure are attained at the same
time?
II is an important question. Most of the Eu-
ropean resorts are barred for the bath Clique.
They will miss the massage and the band the
salubrious waters, the games Of cards carried
ON from tubs OF mud whence arms and heads
protruded. They will miss the spTudel baths
and the ozone baths and the pine needle baths
and the carbonic baths-unless there is some
spot in America that can supply these tor them
American doctors give considerable hope
DIR. Simon Baruch and DR.. T. E. Satterthwaite,
authorities on hydrotherapy, talked recently
with Tribune man upon this very matter
There are many places in America where spas
might be successful
There are, in fact, already what could be
called American spas where the attractions
though different from those abroad, are fully
as alluring.
And it will not be long before the cosrno-
politan life that has been so evident at Carls-
bad. Baden Baden and other famous European
resorts is duplicated TO some extent on this
side OF the ocean.
Doubtless the white-robed Hebes who dipped
our tumblers of hot water from the steaming.
spouting sprudel in Bohemia can be duplicated
in America and so can the bands, the orches-
tras, the out-of-door restaurants, and even the
pink paper bags, described by recent writers,
in which the patients were wont to carry the
special and individual kinds of bread that their
physicians had prescribed for them.
The one thing lacking in certain noted Amer
lean health resorts is mud; and the seekers
after health who used to work themselves into
the miniature marshes on wheels at Carlsbad
and Marienbad may have 70 seek out the sui
phurous lava mud in certain volcanic sections
OF the West, where the mud bath is even now
. given, but needs 10 be developed to the full
y beauty Of application that existed at Toeph1
and St. Amand before the beginning OF the
war. The mud treatment, which can undoubt-
edly be duplicated in some OF our Western
states is amusing as well as apparently effica-
cious The treatment was described by ply
stefan who took it himself in a foreign resort
out OF curiosity, although he was in the best Of
health at the time.
