subsequently, according to the view
of the prosecution that brought
kuehnle's conviction, this contract
was transferred to the United Paving
Company. in which Kuehnle was at
the time member. and also a MEM
Der and the dominant factor of the
Atlantic City Water Board shat
awarded the contract
II was upon the assumption that
the United Paving Company and not
Lockwood was the real contractor
and because of Kuehnle's undisputed
connection with and interest in the
paving company that he was cor
Victed and sent to the State prison.
Frank s. Katzenbach, counsel Tor
the Warren Brothers Company con-
tended all during the trial that the
contract awarded originally to Lock
wood was never legally assigned TO
the United States Paving Company
but that the real assignee was the
Warren Brothers Company, who fin
ished the work.
Kuehnle was convicted and sent TO
the New Jersey State prison after
legal fight of two years. He carried
his appeal through every court eX-
cepting the United States Supreme
tribunal. He intended going that far,
but q decision in another New Jersey
case involving the same principle, that
of legality of an elisor- drawn grand
jury, was adverse to the appellant,
and Kuehnle accepted his conviction.
His sentence was for year, and on
December 10, 1918, he went behind the
bars. Last April the State Court of
Pardons commuted his term to six
months. and on June ! he walked forth
to freedom.

The present community develop
ment OF most American municipali
ties said Mr. Stearns. lis such as

stallation of a system of fares which
will result in reasonable returns on

restriction of the allowable ride for a

Sleep" of Germans.

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-Painless
childbirth through the administra-
ton to the patient of type of the
old-fashioned Laughing gas" is the
latest discovery in medical circles,
according 10 DR.. Herbert c. Allen
today. The new treatment, DR.. Al
len announced, has all the advan-
tages of the famous German 'twi-
light sleep" without any of the dan
gers which he said attended that
method.
The Laughing gas" treatment
was first tried last June at the
Cumberland street hospital in Brook
lyn. It was successful. and since
that time more than a score of
women have given birth to children
while under its influence.
Physicians kept their use of the
new treatment secret. DR.. Allen
stated that he knew of no other hos
pita1 in the world where this treat.
ment is being used.
Nitrous oxide-"laughing gas
and oxygen are administered to the
patient by DR.. Allen in sufficient
quantity to give insensibility to pain
without producing Inconsistencies
This is where the American treat
ment is superior to the German
twilight sleep" method. In the lat
ter case the labor is prolonged, while
under the new method the patient,
being conscious. can use voluntary
methods. The patient under the
American treatment is able at all.
times to realize what is going on
without suffering any pain.
DIR. Allen said that in his expert
ments the patients had talked to
him all of the time, assuring him
that they felt no pain whatsoever
The gas trea tment is administered
in much the same manner that one
takes gas" in a dentists chair. The
sense ton, DIR. Allen said, is exhilar-
ating rather than oppressive.
