Long Distance Cure
Is Likely to Die

Threatened with acute tuberculosis
the result, she admits, of having taken
long distance treatment from Chris
tian Science healer in Boston, Mrs
Don Watson, of York, was taken from
the Harrisburg Hospital to her home
this afternoon.
Mrs. Watson's condition became
known this week when members OF
the family of Oden Herr, of 1922 Penn
street, with whom she has been staying
since she became ill., called in DR.
John II. Eager.
DR.. Eager found that Mrs. Watson
had pneumonia for six weeks. She
refused to have medical attention, and
although the symptoms Of the disease
wore away, the ravages of the disease
so injured her lungs that tuberculosis
is threatened. She told DR.. Eager
that her doctor was q Christian Sci
ence healer of Boston, with whom she
communicated. She says he helped
her. DR.. Eager says her lungs are
permanently injured, and she will
likely die.
When he saw her condition. DR..
Eager had her taken to the Harris
burg Hospital. The examination made
by the physician was corroborated at
that institution yesterday and to-day
arrangements were made to take her
TO her home.

INCREASING HEAVINESS
DEVELOPED IN MARKET
European Holders Of Lowpriced American Shares Again
Show Signs of Uneasiness
BY Associated Press

New York, March Z. Increasing
heaviness, particularly among the rail-
road shares, developed toward the end
of this week, after several days OF ir-
regular movements. Uncertainty as to
the proposed g per cent. increase in
freight rates, the decidedly poor show
ing of the January statements Of earn
ings and the doubtful outlook for ac-
complishing on favorable terms the
huge amount of financing which the
near future calls for, made railroad
shares increasingly sensitive. The
sharp break In Chesapeake and Ohio,
following announcement of the tearms
of the $SS,O0O,OOO note issue was thus
more than ordinarily effective in shap-
ing the course of the market. Stocks
of the weaker railroads were Unset
tied, with a resultant sympathetic de-
cline throughout the market.
European holders of low-priced
American shares again showed signs Of
uneasiness and foreign liquidation such
as unsettled the market a few weeks
ago was resumed The Mexican tangle
also was a depressing. influence.
Trade advices, while indicating
further gains in some directions, were
less encouraging than had been hoped
for. Pig iron statistics for February
showed increased production, but new
orders in the steel trade were slow, and
the copper market softened.
