TWELVE AMERICANS KILLED IN
THE VERA CRUZ BATTLE

Vera Cruz, April 23.-Early yester-
day afternoon the city OF Vera Cruz
was in undisputed possession OF the
American invading forces. Although
there was no organized forces against
them and the snipers were less in evf-
dence than at any time during the
fighting, twelve Americans were kill
cd and about fifty wounded. While
the Mexfcans suffered more severely,
the number of their casualties has
not been ascertained, but the best es-
Inmates indicated that in the engage
ments of Tuesday and Wednesday
their dead amounted to about $50. No
person knows how many Mex1cans
were wounded, as a large part Of them
were taken away and hidden by
friends.

Immediately shooting all prisoners
taken, the captured men could not but
believe that they would be executed
The guns found in houses were thrown
by the marines and bluejackets to the
pavement below.
The most spirited action of We'd
nesday was the taking OF the naval
academy. Aside from that fight there
was no definite organized opposition
A hot fire was poured into the ad-
vancing Americans from the naval
college which for a time held them
back but q few well directed shots
from the cruisers Chester, San Fran
cisco and Prairie tore gaping holes in
the stone walls and silenced the rifle
fire OF the Mexicans inside. The
blue1acxets then were enabled to pro-
ceed with the task they had in hand.

Ass1rMEs CHARGE OF FRIED
 ' MAN TUBERCULOSIS CURE
u. w Gates one Arkansas Lead ing Insurance Men Has Charge of tuberculosis Cure in Arkan-
 sas-1OO.OOO Afflicted.

1ittle Rock, July 29.-When such n,or as Hugh w. Gates, who has for n,onv years been a leading insurance ,,or of Arkansas, assumes charge of the Friedman tuberculosis cure for .h;c state. it means that there Is much more merit to the alleged cure than so;ontists and the medical profession have lead the people to believe.
 When Dr. Friedman first came to tho United States he was met with r,uchJ opposition, though the public at ,srce was reluctant to pass adverse criticism until it had an opportunity to demonstrate his cure. Little has been said in the past few months re- oarding the cure, and while the people were as much interested as ever in a discovery which would relieve the ra- wages of the great White Plague, they had almost forgotten it.
 Now Mr. Gates announces he has made arrangements to have treat ments under the Friedman system, given in Little Rock, and public inter est has again been aroused. MT. Gates sent his brother, Lawrence, to New York when Dr. Frinedman first came to this country. He received one in- lection of the serum and though he was bedridden at that time, has shown marked improvement since. Mir. Gates also observed many other cases and finally decided that there was so much merit to the cure that he would make the investment necessary to re- lieve the stricken people of his native \ state.
 "The Friedman cure, like all other cures," says Mir. Gates, 'does not cure all cases. l have personally watched many of the people treated and be- leve that all have been benefited though many have spoiled their own chances of recovery through return ing to work after they have over-esti- mated their strength due to the rapid improvement shown, and their desire to be producers again after such a long idleness. There are a number of cases in Arkansas that are checked" It IS estimated that there are 100,- 900 people in Arkansas who are afflict- ed in some way with tuberculosis, and Ii the cure should prove of merit, in spite of the fight that has been made against it, it will be God send to the stricken ones.
