with being the assailant OF Frank
Curley, who was taken to Bright

tured skull. Bean was placed in Jail
here and held until Sheriff Beattie

SHER|FFS WILL GET )
PER CENT |. c. TAXES
RAILROAD COMMISSION AND At
ToRNEYs AGREE ON CON-
PROMISE TO END SUIT.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 5.-Sheriffs in
Mississippi will get five per cent OF
the 1913 taxes to be paid by the Hi
nois Central railroad, in the event the
attorney general approves the wording
of a decree adopted by the railroad
commission and railway attorneys YES
terday to be submitted to Judge Niles,
of the United States court. and if it
meets with his approval made part
of the record in the case of the state
against the Illinois Central, seeking
to collect the taxes on new assess.
ments made by the commission. Rec
emily a compromise was reached by
the commission and the officials of the
Illinois Central, whereby the Illinois
Central agreed to pay so per cent of
the raise in the 1913 taxes over those
of 1912 and at the same rate in 1914,
the compromise ending the litigation
in the courts. The Y. & M. V. railroad.
according to the compromise, agreed
to pay the same taxes in 1914 as in
1913.
AS the sheriffs were inclined to con-
slider the unpaid 1918 taxes of the IL
linois Central delinquent they consid-
cred they were entitled to ten per
cent of the collections as damages.
The commission wanted to make
things lovely all around, so recon-
mended that the auditor be instructed
to pa them 5 per cent of the 1918 col
lections of privilege taxes in the pro
portion of mileage in each county
Whether this will be satisfactory to tht
sheriffs remains to be seen.
The commission was busy most O
yesterday on this matter, several Hi
nois Central officials appearing fol
that road. 1t is generally believed
that the compromise will go into Ell
feet without further delay, and tina
the taxes as agreed upon will be paid
This will end litigation that begal
some months ago when the commits
sion raised the assessments of tn
two carriers, and the question wa
taken into the courts. The fedora
court upheld the state in some OF 1t
contentious and the railroad in par'
SO that the matter was beginning t
become very complicated. A comprf
mise, such as has been made, 1t
\ said, will clear up the situation, an
result in the tax money being pal
H by the railroads at once.
II The commission will not allow
Il copy of the decree to be published.

'OSTEOPATHS CURE
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
IMPROVED NUTRITION OVER
COMES PROGRESS OF iNFEc-
TIoN; NATURE CURES.

Philadelphia Pa, Aug. 5.-The
eighteenth annual convention of the
American Osteopathic Association
opened here today with 5000 delegates
in attendance. DR.. Percy H. Woodall
of Birmingham, Ala, president of the
association, called the gathering to or
der. Mayor Blackenburg officially well
coined the visitors to the city.
The most important feature of the
day was a report presented by DR.. John
Deason of Chicago, dierctor of the
research institute which the osteopath-
ic profession has established for the
purpose of investigating by laboratory
methods into the scientific basis of the
theory of osteopathy.
Loud applause greeted the state
ment of DR.. Deason that osteopathy
has been discovered to be cure for all
acute infectious diseases. 1t was re-
ported that in one series of forty ami
mails the investigators had found that
when they could improve the nutrition
they could overcome the progress OF
infection.
Body Displacement Cause of Disease.
DR.. Deason declared that the once
popular "tonics" are not now so favor
ably considered by the authorities or
today. Many modern texts on materia
medica and pharmacology do not even
contain the word tonic in their induces.
Some authors state that if there is any
result from such medication it is psy-
chic The staff of the research instl-
tute found that slight irregularity in
the alignment of ribs and vertebrae
cause changes to occur in the structure
of the pancreas and that in these cases
they found marked decrease in resist
ance to tuberculosis and typhoid.
When these bony displacements occur
lower down there follows a diseased
action of the kidneys. The research
workers found, so they claimed, that
osteopathic adjustment caused a nor
NAL flow of urine.
DR.. w. Banks Meacham, OF Ashevllle,
N. c., endorsed the findings of the in
stitute, and added: I'VE have clinical
ly demonstrated for quarter of cen
fury the fact that the eliminating
organs can be stimulated to eliminate
food wastes and body wastes. be
lieve We can stimulate such elimina
lions to the point where the principles
of osteopathy will give us the greatest
known control Of any and all infectious
diseases. I believe this is the problem
before our profession today, which
when solved will force the recognition
of osteopathy as a scientific procedure
in handling all acute infections ant
that the solution of this problem will
give us the recognition that shout
