OF HER EX-FRIEND;
SUES FOR WAGES

Mrs. Josephine Kern. SO years old.
Tuesday morning. saw her chance OF
collecting wages for four years toll
90 glimmering, in Judge Murphy's
court.
Mrs. Kern Is suing a former
friend. Mrs. Pauline Dresser. for ST..
600. She alleges she worked for
Mrs. Dresser eight years, and re-
ceived no money, because Mrs. Kern
promised TO compensate her in her
will. Mrs. Dresser made a will, and
Mrs. Kern was named as benefl-
ciary, The will was later revoked.
and the suit followed.
Under the old law, the husband
was legally entitled TO the earnings
OF his wife. This law was repealed
and new one was enacted, in 1911,
giving the wife full claim TO her
earnings.
On motion OF Mrs. Dreser's at
torneys. Judge Murphy ruled that
Mrs. Kern. as plaintiff, could not
bring suit for wages she alleges
were due her from Sept. /. 1907,
when she first went to work for Mrs.
Dresser. until Aug. 2. 1911. when the
new statute went into effect. The
earnings in that period. the court
ruled, were not the property OF Mrs.
Kern but OF her husband.
Mrs. Kern took the witness stand,
Tuesday, and told OF the labor she
had performed for Mrs. Dresser.

Drug and dope"
EenG HHhe
Jackson Asylunls
MANY USERS, DENIED NARcoT.
Ics, TRY TO END THEIR
LIVES.

In spite of the fact that drug and
dope" fiends in other parts Of Mis-
sissippi are almost daily, according to
telegraphic reports from the various
cities of the State, clamoring to
the officials for medical and hospital
treatment, but little suffering has been
caused in Hattiesbur thus far by the
recent enforcement of the Harrison
anti-narcotic law.
Thus far, not an application has
been made to Mayor Batson or to
Sheriff HARRISON by any fiend or his
representative, for hospital treatment.
In jackson, 27 cases already are being
given treatment under the direction of
the State officials. Other Mississippi
cities report numbers almost as large.
A young white woman was taken to
Jackson from Scott county yesterday
to be placed in the insane asylum and
treated for the drug habit, a dispatch
from the capital today states Con-
tinuing it says:
Several days ago the woman bur-
glarized drug store at Lake, having
been driven to desperation when her
supply of morphine was cut off by the
Harrison law. She was arrested and
taken to Forest for trial, but the Grim
inal charge was withdrawn when the
authorities learned that she was a
morphine victim, and orders we're is
sued to bring her to Jackson for treat
ment.
Similar report of desperate deeds
by drug habit victims are brought
here by deputy sheriffs in charge of
persons sent to the Jackson hospital
for treatment. Several instances of
attempted suicides have been report
ed. and one story told in the insane
hospital office last night about a new
patient was that he assaulted the
physician and beat him almost into
insensibility when the latter refused
to supply him with cocaine
According to the chancery docket
in this city, twenty-seven drug habit
victims in Jackson have been sent to
to insane hospital since March l."
