QUACK DOCTORS IN a TRUST
New York Medical Museums
Chain Of Plants.

New York, April 23.-Police authori-
ties say that one of the fifty-four oper-
ators of medical museums and their
assistants arrested yesterday in a raid
upon alleged medical impostors, prom
ised to appear in court and make
confession. His statement. the police
assert, will reveal the workings Of a
system of national scope for extort-
ing money by fraudulent physicians
and false methods of diagnosis.
The chief operator of the museum
under arrest is alleged by the police
to have accumulated a fortune of more
than 100000 by operating a chain
of medical offices with free museums
as feeders in New York, Newark,
n. J., Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts
burg and half a dozen other cities
Mrs. Marian Clarke, investigator OF
the state department of labor, esti-
mated that fraudulent physicians have
collected 100000 a year from pa
TENTS in this city. Most of that came
from poor persons and aliens who
could not speak English.

GERMANS CLAIM
GAIN NEAR YPRES
Big Eovements Under Way at
Several Different Points
in the War Zone.
TEUTONS ASSUME OFFENSIVE
Strong Attempt Under Way to Force
Back British and 5eIgians-Re-
ports of Fighting Conflict
Into Prussia Again.

London, April 24.-With big battle
developing near Ypres in Flanders.
and reports of prospective naval en-
gagement in the North sea and of prep
arations for the commencement of a
combined naval and military attack on
the Dardanelles or some other vital
spot in Turkey, the people of Europe
are highly expectant.
Of these three anticipated events,
only one has actually reached fulfill
ment-the battle near Ypres.
That severe engagement has taken
place in this part of Flanders is con-
frmed by the official reports, but these
are so contradictory in their claims
that the actual result of the prelim1
mary fighting is not known.
Germans on Offensive.
To those outside the war Offices of
the belligerent nations it would appear
however, that following their loss Of
Hill so and their failure after repeated
attempts to recapture it, the Germans
have commenced an offensive from the
northeast against the Anglo-FTench
line in front of Ypres, which was the
scene of such bloody battles last aut-
umn, and also against the Belgian line
farther west.
The Germans claim that with rush
they drove the allies back to the
Ypres canal, taking 1000 British and
French prisoners, and thirty guns. The
French account admits that the allies
had to fall back, but it states that this
was due to the use by the Germans Of
asphyxiating gas bombs. Paris asserts
that in counter attacks the allies took
many German prisoners, and that the
Belgians repu1sed attacks launched
against them. 1t is believed here that
these operations are only the COM
mencement of another battle of Ypres.
Both Claim Gains.
Fighting continues in the WoeVre,
and here also both the French and
Germans claim successes. The French
in this region seemingly are still on
the offensive and apparently deter
mined to attempt further to squeeze
the Germans wedge, which has its
apex at st. Mihiel.

years separation Mrs. Ed Brewer, OF
this city, greeted a sister of whose ex-
istence she had been when an
evening passenger train brought Mrs.
Charles Pierce, of Omaha, to Winner.
Mrs. Pierce knew of the existence of
her sister, but had been unable to To-
cate her, though she had repeatedly en-
deavored to do so. 1t seems that when
Mrs. Brewer was a tiny infant her
mother, unable to support her, placed
her and a 3-year-old brother in the
home of a neighbor. A yea later the
mother married a man VINO resided in
Missouri and went to that state to re-
side.
Teh family which had adopted Mrs.
Brewer and her brother also moved
away, and all trace was lost. Six
daughters were born OF the second mar
riage, and the mother often told the
children of the little son and daughter
whom she had been obliged to part
with in their infancy.
Mrs. Pierce. whose home is in Oma-
ha, visited Gregory county last week
with her husband, who is interested
in real estate in that county, and there
learned that her sister lived in Winner.
She took the next train for this city
