Just one little oversight was respon- sible for the capture of Cherry and Newton, who had robbed the Orlocli bank. This consisted in their failure to sever the telephone wires leading out of Orlock before instead of after the burglary had been committed.

Billy Layton OVerdreW Account

Billy Layton, Onetime candidate for lightweight pugiliStic championship honors, was recently slapped, kicked and scratched until his assailant tired Of the pastime. You old-timers who recall the memorable scraps staged by Pi|ly and Shadow" Mahor in the rubber top' along about the end of the last century will hardly believe this. But it's so. Billy says so him. self. He told it yesterday while seat ed in his roller chair on the sidewalk before The Graphic office. For Billy

 Billy's assailant was his grandchild,
 a boy nine months of age. The two

 Physicians Puzzled. i Layton's trouble has mystified phy- sians. For seven years he has suffer- i ed, and for nearly five he has been in an invalid's chair when he has not been in bed Whatever the disease, it has attacked the joints of his arms and legs, rendering them useless. The fists which were once shot forth with lightning-like rapidity to adversary's face or body now lie useless in Billy's lap. and the legs, once used so well in side-st:pping, rushing or to back Out Of harms way, are now crooked and bent.
 The whole trouble-no matter what the doctors call it-is that Billy's joints are older than he is. They are the joints of man of 80 years, due to excessive use. Billy "drew" on the future during those 20 years he kept in condition. Before he entered the professional boxing game, he served as physical director at the University Of Virginia and other institutional he was always training, always con- stunning the lubricant Nature provides to keep the body supple. He overdrew his account with Nature, that's all. And now Billy is squaring up. Ma tnre is kind, but none can incur debt with her and avoid payment. That's as sure as death.

There is no international convention
in force relative to the laying Of
mones. The United States ratified The
Hague convention on this subject, but
it is imperative because most of the
sfgnRtories did not ratify it. The
principles laid down in that conven-
ton, however, were that the laying
of anchored contact mines should be
forbidden and that all mines should
be of such a character as to be innocu-
Gus Immediately on becoming detached
from their anchorages.
Count Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, today formally presented a
memorandum to the state department,
stating that the mines laid by Ger
many would become innocuous when
loosed. Previously the British gov
eminent had given the United States
similar assurances. The laying of
mines for the sole purpose of inter
cepting commerce was forbidden by
The Hague convention. but there has
been no general rule by which the pro-
hibition could be interpreted. as it
has been claimed that all mines used
in the present war have been laid
for offensive or defensive purposes.

NEW LONDON DOCTORS
BACKING DR., BLACK
In Clash with Acting Mayor Miner
Over Quarantine Trouble.

The New London Medical society
showed its approval of the action of
Health officer J. T. Black of that city
in the conduct of the office at a special
meeting Wednesday night. The mem
bers of the society not only went on
record as commencing his efficient
methods in the recent smallpox situa-
ton, but voted to decline all appoint
ments as health officer until DIR. Black
is indicated in his trouble with Act
ing Mayor A T. Miner which resulted
in his resignation few days ago. A
committee was also appointed to urge
an increase in the salary of the health
officer to $4,000, commensurate with
the amount of work entailed by the
duties of the office.
The session took the form of an in
dignation meeting over the resignation
of DR.. Black as health officer follow
ing. clash with Acting Mayor Miner
in the matter of a quarantine
Acting Mayor Miner was quoted as
saying that he had received no official
notification Of the action and could
only form an opinion from the pub
lisned statement which he had read.
Continuing he said: 81 have mo de-
sire or intention to enter into any
controversy in this matter of health
officer. 1t occurs to me, however, in
reference to the salary of $4,000 or
more, recommended for the position
ny lie h6UlCtl SOClSly DIT us meeting,
that the increase is not great over
what DR.. Black received last year. In
addition to his salary of $1,000, he was
paid more than $500 for the care of
smallpox patients, Of whom he as
sumed personal charge.
This Alphonse and CASTOR attitude
on the part of some physicians is rath-
er amusing, however, to say the least.
There is or will be vacancy in the
position of health officer June 1. 1t
will become my duty to recommend
to the court Of common council an
appointee for the place, such recon-
mendation requiring the confirmation
of the aldermen. If such confirmation
is forthcoming, the appointee will very
likely be a member of the Medical So
ciety, which fact, as say. is slightly
humorous.
"Other than this, I have nothing
further to say in the matter. Should
necessity demand it, however, there
will be some plain speaking on my
part in the future, in which a spade
will not be dignifed by the title of a
garden implement. The present health
officer has resigned. It is up to the
city to get a new one. In case the al
derInen cannot agree on any physician
then, as 1 have said before, the county
health officer will do the appointing"

REPORTS ON MISHAP TO NEBRASKAN

Washington, May 27-The United
States government had received to-
night messages from Ambassador
Page and Consul-general Skinner at
London and a statement from Cap
ain Greene of the American steamer
Nebraskan, but from all information

yible to determine whether the explo-

ward explosion in the vessel as de-
Tcribed by Captain Greene is of the
character which is more likely to have
been caused by a mine than torpedo.
Ambassador Page reported that he

constructors attached to the American
embassy to make a complete examina-
ion upon the Nebraskan's arrival at
