Results of the Friedman Treatment

It has been only little than year since Dr Friedmann this country from Europe with his turtle serum which extended a hope to sufferers consumption, many of whom travelled from all parts of the country to New York to pre- sent themselves at Friedmann's clinics. Friedmann's secrecy regarding the nature of the serum ana his methods of administering it, aroused the dis trust of many eminent physicians. some of whom openly called him faker But others willing to reserve judgment until sufficient time had elapsed to show the results of his treatment
 The serum administered about seventy seven cases in New York. The department of health of that city tried keep track of all the cases treated but eleven of them escaped observation and nineteen moved out of the city. But records were kept of the remaining forty cases The department has just issued leaflet giving reports of these cases. These results may be summarized follows

 The report adds that comment is unnecessary; that the figures tell the whole ptful story" They do tell the ptfu story but they do tell the sordid story. for mention is made of the fact that from various contracts and fees friedmann made a profit s4o0oO during his brief stay in this country.

Doubt in Murder Cases

Tt is impossible to secure a con, ction for mur- der in this county" said County Attorney Gilmore of Cochse county, the other day unless you have plain case established beyond the shadow of d. doubt" The county attorney deploring the low estimate placed on human life in that county as disclosed by great number of homicides within the past year and the recent acquittal man who had shot down unarmed enemy be- cause he thought the latter was making a motion toward his hip pocket
 The sentiment in Cochise county described in the language of the county attorney is proper. No should be convicted of murder or any other crime unless the against him plain: not so long there is shadow of a doubt" of his guilt. provided of course. the doubt whose shadow may fall atliwart the is reasonable doubt and fanciful conjecture That the law. as courts al ways instruct juries
 In the cse the county attorney had in mind, the doubt the jury had the widest conjecture. It would probably have been entertained d all but for the fact that the defendant member of well known family and himself well known. If that kind of a defense be generally cepted it would be impossible to secure a convic- uon for murder dn any case. The defendant could always plead that he thought he the victim ''motionng toward his hip pocket" In order to lessen the sudden violent death citizens through misapprehension it would be necessary alter the architecture of trousers by the emin- ation of the hip pocket
 The defendant this violating the law against carrying concealed weapons. If he had been gultess there would have been murder. The jury might well apply the same saving sys- defendant chicken thief d burglar, caught in the line of his activity, who should imagine that he the householder the chicken owner. mo toning toward his hip pocket and shot him.

If it turns that he makes bad guess the intention of his enemy as the defendant in this did he should not be allowed plead ungrounded fear in his own behalf. That is only self-serving evidence any how.

HUNG UP ONE OF
HIS MARKS HERE
Barney Oldfield to Be Seen on
Track Where He Won
Fame in 1903.

1t was on the Davenport mile track
that Oldheld drove one of the first
miles ever covered in less than one
minute. In 1908, with his Winton bull
let, the noted Barney, then a newcom-
er at the automobile game, astounded
the spectators by plotting his car in
and out of the short turns with re-
markabIe skill. When the time of
80 as seconds was hung up by the
timing officials. there was great re-
joicing among the speed bugs, who in
those days considered it to be excep-
tionally fast time.>
Then began the vogue of Barney
Oldfeld. He purposely allowed his
hair to grow long, so the flowing effect
would be pronounced as the wind
runshed through it, and affected a
bright red leather coat. The spectac-
ular was there to theatrical degree
He was soon known as Dare Devil
Barney, and the experts predicted he
would not be with us much longer.
But Dare Devil Barney fooled the
experts and is still with us, going
some ten or twelve seconds TO the mile

did in his old days, for Oldfield prom

WORLD'STOURN NO
HARM TO PLAYERS
Hughie Jennings Prophecies
Fail to Materialize as
Tourists Play Well.

Hughie Jennings fears were ground
less. The world tourist ball players
seem to have been benefited by their
jaunt through foreign lands instead of
harmed by the continuous ball play
ing.
Hughie, early in the spring, felt sure
that the continuous playing" would
put the damper on the efforts of the
stars in the regular 1914 season. And
early in the season IL did look as If
Hughie was right, because some of the
players who were on the tour were
far below their normal form. But
they have rounded to and now are
breezing along at even a faster clip
than in other years.
Iris Speaker of the Red Sox got
away to a bad start this year in the
batting line, but about a month ago he
began clubbing them out with all his
old-time skill. The same is true of
Larry Doyle of the Giants. Larry fioun-
dered along for the first six weeks, but
since then has been hitting 'em to all
sections of the field and running in a
sensational manner.
"Wahoo Sam Crawford, who labors
for Hughie, is batting over his 1913
mark, is fielding in brilliant style and
running bases like a 10-second ath-
lete. Sam has been above the 800
mark in batting all season.
Mickey" Doolan, who was with the
Phillies last year, and who jumped to
the Feds after his return from the
trip around the world, is fielding and
batting in fine style. Buck" Weaver
of the White Sox, another of the tour
lists, is fielding in more brilliant fash
ion than he did in 1913.
Death Valley jim" Scott, Urban
Faber and Joe Benz, the White SoX
pitchers, have been doing wonderful
work. Faber was a recruit when he
Joined the tourists, and was taken
along as a sort of substitute. Faber,
however, got some fine experience on
the tour, and came back a seasoned
pitcher, and one who has proved one
of the 1914 American league finds"
Fred Merkle of the Giants, who
batted 261 last year. is hitting around
the 2S5 mark and fielding well. Hans
Lobert of the Phillies, another of the
tourists, is hitting and fielding as well,
If not better, than last year.

on those dirt tracks. I'd make them
look sick. l would be willing to give
Rene Thomas, Goux or any other for
eign driver a handicap of so miles
in a 500 mile race and then beat them
out in a race over the Davenport mile
track
Oldfield knows what he is talking
about, for his great skill at driving
the fiat, unbanked turns of dirt
track, and the lack of experience OF
the foreigners in such driving would
probably give him an easy victory.
In 1904, when Oldfeld was at the
zenith of his fame as the worlds
greatest track driver, holder of ev-
cry worlds track record from one to
100 miles, was matched to meet the in
vincible Emile Thiery, winner of
three successive Gordon-Bennett cup
races in Europe. The match took
place over the Empire City track in
New York. For good measure Barney
also agreed to race Vernin, noted
F7renchman, and Satory, an Italian
protege of William K. Vanderbilt, Jr.
Oldfield won in 50 seconds to the mile,
while Thiery could not even take the
turns fast enough to cover a mile in
side a minute.
Sunday afternoon at the Davenport
mile track Barney Oldfield is matched
to race Lincoln Beachey, loop the loop
and upside down flyer for the speed
championship of the world, as Beach
