- Physicians diagnose half of their
cases wrong, and the disease from
which the patient is really suffering is
not learned until after his death, ac-
cording to the testimony before Judge
Shortall of DR.. Phillip K. Brown, one
Of the most eminent authorities on tu-
berculosis on the Pacific coast, at San
Francisco last Saturday Fifty per
cent Of all diagnoses are said to be
wrong" said DR.. Brown. That is
liberal estimate, is it not?" queried the
examining counsel 1T is based upon
the autopsy findings Of the largest hos
pitfalls in the world" said DR.. Brown.
Pretty close to so per cent Of the
cases checked up by autopsy are found
to have been mistaken diagnoses. 1t is
a technical mistake, sometimes there
is much to be made Of it and sometimes
very little" DR.. Browns testimony
was given in the suit Of John w. Hes
Ter, a bookkeeper against the Califor-
mia Hospital association. He sued for
$4,000 damages, averring he was not
warned by the associations physicians
that a bad cold for which he was being
treated was developing into tubercu-
losis. The jury which heard the case,
despite DR.. Browns statement Of tech
nical mistakes" which are made in
diagnosing cases, awarded Hesler ST.

Gen. Carranza has made it clear
through the foreign office Of his gov
ernment that he does not desire TO
deal with European governments
through the United States and officials
Of the state department are in accord
with his course, says a dispatch OF
Saturday from Washington. Some OF
the European powers which have not
yet recognized the de facto govern
ment have been transmitting repre-
sentations through American officers
in Mexico. Gen. Carranza now desires
that foreign governments deal directly
with him. This policy is expected to
hasten recognition of the Carranza
government by the powers Of Europe.
Great Britain, it is said, will soon eX-
tend recognition. Austria has already
extended recognition while France,
Russia and Germany are expected to
do so in a few days. While the state
department was in no way concerned
with Gen. CarranZa's action, officials
felt relief that he had taken the step
for it will remove much Of the burden
from American consular representa-
tives who are busy caring for Amerl-
cans in the reconstruction work in
Mexico. The state departments sum-
mary today of conditions in Mexico
reveals that Americans in Sonora are
not in as great danger as had been re-
ported, assurances having come from
Villa officials that they will be amply
protected.
Columbia, Miss, Oct. 81: Jake
Hughes, 80 years old, a member OF a
prominent family Of Washington par
ish, La, was taken from the county
Jail here early today by a party of
short distance outside the city limits.
Hughes was under arrest in connec-
ton with the death Of Laura Holloway,
a we'll known young man of this place,
who was shot and killed near here on
the night of October 21. Otto Forten-
berry the jailer, said he was awaken
ed about / o'clock this morning by
three masked men who. after forcing
him to give up the key to Hughes cell,
bound him to his bed. The lynchers
worked quickly, Fortenberry said, and
after forcing Hughes to put on his
clothes. they removed him from the
building without awakening more than
two of the prisoners in adjoining cells.
These were unable to say how many
men were in the party. The jailer, who
was released several hours later, re-
ported to the sheriff and posses began
a search for the prisoner and his alb
ductors A short distance outside the
city Hughes body was found swing
ing from a tree. According to the au-
thoritieS persons who witnessed the
killing of Holloway in a lumber camp
near here, said that Hughes shot the
young man in the back without provo
cation. Holloway at the time, it was
said, was engaged in fight with an
other person while Hughes was an on
locker. A coroner's jury returned a
verdict that Hughes had met his death
at the hands of person or persons,
unknown. For several days after the
killing of Holloway, the authorities
guarded the Jail but recently relaxed
their vigilance. Hughes last Saturday
waived preliminary examination and
was remanded to Jail to await the ac-
tion of the December grand jury.
