The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-06-09

Richmond physicians are greatly IN
terested in the case OF Miss Dorothy
Thomas, an k,ldorado, O.. young wom-
an. who is a patient at the Reid Mem
orial hospital, where she was hurried
lv taken last Saturday after she had
taken. by mistake, water containing
deadly mercury icdide, which had been
given her as an antiseptic wash for
a sore.
In many respects her case is similar
to that of the Macon, Ga, banker.
whose case attracted national interest
last fall after he had taken by mis-
take a solution containing mercury.
He never suffered any pain or dis
comfort the week following the drink
ing of the poison, and though he knew
his death certain he maintained a
cheerful demeanor and even gave a
farewell party in nOnOr OF his friends.
His death came following the failure
of his kidneys to peform their func-
tiOnS.
Woman Has Chance.
Miss Thomas case. however. differs
from that of the Macon man because
local physicians agree that she has a
chance for recovery.
Apparently she is in normal health
and views the future in a most Opti-
mistic manner, though fully realizing

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June O.
That the mediation conferences here
are working to a successful and quick
termination was indicated today in
statement made by Frederick W. Leh-

after private conference with Am
bassador Da Cana, of Brazil, chief
Of the mediation ENJOYS.

SHALL
The American suggestion for effect
ing peace in Mexico was presented to
the Huerta delegates today by the
A. B. c. mediators. Although no Of
flcial statement was given out, 1t was
reported that the American SuggeS-
tiOnS providing for the reception of
delegates from General Carranza with
out declaring a formal armistice and
regardless of the COnStitutiOnalistS
protestations that no provisional gov
ernment for Mexico shall be arranged
for.
This concession involves a yielding by
Minister Naon, Of Argentina, on the
point of formal armiStice, which he
declared from the beginning was essen
tial to any dealings with the revOlu-
tionists. The mediatOrs are under
stood to be convinced that CarranZa
may be trusted practically to stop
fighting in Mexico, while denying that
a truce exists. Because his army is
not favorable to any compromise with
1Iuerta, he Is to be allowed to keep
up the pretense Of military activities
until he shall be in a position to an
nounce terms of peace satisfactory to
his followers.
The Mexican delegates are under
stood to have received within the past
twenty-fOur hours the definite pledge
OF General Huerta to accept whatever
trms the delegates secure for him.
From now on efforts will be chiefly
directed to persuading Carranza to
adopt the same course

CALMLY AWAITS ISSUE AT REID HOSPITAL

what the result of her mistake may be
Miss Thomas is being treated by an
Eldorado physician, DR.. Blackburn,
and he expressed the opinion today
tnat his patient would be able to over
come the effects of the mercurial
poisoning. In this opinion Richmond
physicians who have taken keen in
terest in this unusual case share.
Crisis to Come.
Most people can take as much as
half grain of bichloride of mercury
and live if given the proper treat
ment," said a prominent local physic-
ian today. 1T is believed that Miss
Thomas did not take more than three
fourths of grain and what symptoms
she has shown go far are favorable
to her recovery. nOtWithStanding the
fact that she took an abnormal amount
of the mercury.
In cases similar to that OF Miss
Thomas the condition of the patient
remains practically normal for about
week At the end of that time if
Il fatal amount of the drug has been
taken there will be a collapse of the
kidneys. because they will have been
eaten out. then death comes shortly.
If a fatal dose of mercury is absorbed
by the kidneys there is no known cure,
even an operation being useless.

TAX COLLECTIONS
OF CITY EXCEED BY
$4,000 OLD MARK
Total Paid $265,11O.79 in
First Period, But Delin-
quent List of $27, ,665.83 Is
Higher Than in 1913.

Tax collections for the city of Rich
mond this year for the period closing
month ago, exceeded by almost
$4,000 last years collection while
the delinquent tax and the amount Of
second installments to be paid are also
much greater than previously. The
collection was $265. 5.11O.79.
The big increases are due to the
fact that Richmonds tax rate for
1913 payable in 1914, was eighteen
cents higher than the previous year.
The delinquent this year was $27,-
665.83 as compared with SIS, ,S2973,
which is testimony of the hard finan-
cial winter just passed. To bear this
out, 1928. .S69.S1 was left to be paid on
the second installment in November
this year, while last year. only $685.
1882 was left on the books as second
inStallment,, difference of $4,000.
Pay Only One-Half.
Many tax payers who previously
paid their tax in full paid only half
the tax and allowed the second in
stallment to stand against them on
the books. Whether this condition
existed all over the county is not
known, as all duplicates have not yet
been footed.
The total amount of tax collected
was $265. 1919, while last year $685.
674.13 was collected on the first in
stallment. When the total tax col
lection has been received next NOvem-

THIEF STEALS TOOLS;
REMAINS UNCAUGHT
Davis Carriage Company
Employe Loses 500 When
Chest Is Taken From Fac
tory.

Some person. not known to the po-
lice. burglarized the Davis Carriage
company factory about 9 o'clock last
night and stole cabinet makers tools,
belonging to Fred Parker, mechanic,
valued at about 500.
Just how a man could successfully
get away with such a heavy burden
without being detected remains a mys-
terry
The night shift of the factory went
off duty about o'clock and it is be-
lieved the thief secreted himself in
the building early in the evening. He
took his weighty loot out OF a window
and some suggest that he must have
backed a wagon up TO the building
and then hauled the tools away.
The loss of the tools was soon de-
teCted and the police We're notified.
They learned that a box answering
the description OF the tool chest had
been shipped TO Versailles, O. via
Winchester. Ind. where ii would have
TO be transferred. shortly after 20
o'clock. and Railroad Detective Buck"
Fletcher at Winchester. was notified
He located the box at the station
there and when man called for il he
placed him under arrest and notified
the Richmond police early today
Later Fletcher telephoned TO Chief
Goodwin that the box had been opened
and found not TO contain the stolen
tools so the suspect had been releas-
ed
Chief Goodwin does not believe the
tools have been taken out Of the city
unless they have been hauled out in a
wagon and he has his officers making
a systematic search for them.

INJURY TO HUDSON
MAY PROVE FATAL

After being pinned between an In
dianapolis street car and a trash wag
on and lacerated about the neck and
shoulders, yesterday, Frank B. Hud-
son, formerly of this city, is believed
to have fighting chance for recovery.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin H.
Hudson, 81 North Third street, went
to indianapolis yesterday upon receipt
of word of their sons injury. The
juglar vein was almost severed by the
iron edge of the wagon.
Hudson, with a number of other per-
sons, was riding the running board Of
an over-crowded car on Illinois street.
The wagon passed close to the car,
pining Hudson with such force that it
broke his hand hold. He fell between
the wagon and the car, and was rolled
along between the two before they
could be brought to a stop. Witnesses
said the wagon would have passed
without trouble had the car not been
loaded too heavily.
For fifteen years Mr. Hudson was
an employe of the George Martin gro
Gerry.

Robbins Reiterates Belief
That Only Prosecutions
and Fines Will Stop Viola
tions of Garbage Law.

Old General Humidity made short
work of the monthly meeting OF
Mayor Robbins cabinet last night. but
al that the perspiring city officials
found time to discuss that pesky trash
and garbage collection question for q
few minutes.
DR. S. G. Smelser city health officer.
started the ball rolling by stating that
the city must have a new crematory
next year. He said the present crema-
tory was all that has been said of IL,
too small and absolutely unfit for fur
ther service. He said about half the
garbage had to be hauled into the
country and as a result there were nu-
merOus complaints being registered.
He expressed the opinion that the
practice of hauling garbage into the
country might have to be discontinued
because of it being declared a public
nuisance.
DR.. Smelser said that he thought he
would be able to save about $500
this year in the garbage disposal de-
partment. He has dispensed with the
services of an assistant at the crema-
tory. who was not needed, and one
collection wagon.

No description of Aldrich had been

They approached a clump Of bushes
