eagerly awaited. The test case now
before the court is brought by the twin
daughters of the late General John B.
Hood, who seek to share in the estate
of the late George T. McGehee of Mis-
sissippi, their fathers friend and their
father by adoption.
The contest is over the Inheritance
of real estate in Alabama owned by
McGehee. The twins rest their claim
on several grounds, one being that un-

VOYAGERS ON LINER
HAD PEEK AT WAR
Those on Lapland Saw Destroyer
Firing at Unseen FOe-Chase
by Submarine Denied.

The Red Star liner Lapland, which
a week ago was reported to have been
pursued by a German submarine. ar
rived here yesterday with variety OF
opinions concerning what happened in
the Irish Sea soon after she left Liver
pool.
Some of the passengers were conf
dent the Lapland had been chased; 9TH
ers declared that she had merely been
warned.
Captain Bradshaw. who was on the
bridge from the time the liner left
Liverpool until she passed Queenstown,
said Yesterday that whatever the i'm
preston of passengers might be, the
Lapland was not pursued by sub
marine.
On leaving the harbor at a. m. the
skipper said he was hailed by the pilot
boat, the captain of which said he be-
leved a submarine was in the waters
nearby. About four miles 10 the south
west the skipper saw a British de-
stroyer running al high speed, evident
~ in pursuit of an enemy of some
sort.
The Lapland crowded on her highest
speed and sook an irregular course,
changing ever rev minutes 10 aFold
attack. In the distance the destroyer
could be seen shooting, and il was be-
ieved she had been firing AT Il sub
marine. One report was that one sub
marine was sunk.
Among the Lapland's travellers was
Henry Morgenthau. jr., secretary 10 his
father, the American Ambassador to
Turkey. He said he left Constartinople
February Is, and at that time condi-
tons in the Turkish capital were nor

There were about 1000 Americans in
the city when left" he said, land |
am confident they are safe. All were
in good standing with the Ottoman OFF,
cials."
Also on board were the fifteenyear-
old Hudson twins OF Bridgeport, Conn.
who left home several months ago and
volunteered with the British forces.
Through the efforts Of their father, the
State Department and Ambassador Page
they were found before they had en-
listed and were sent home. Their par
ents met them at the pier.

TESTS HIS CANCER
TOXIN ON HIMSELF
Medical School Professor
Promises Cure if 1t Is
Taken in Time.

Boston, March 20.-Dr Herbert W.
Novel;, professor of pathology in the
Boston University School of Medicine,
has discovered substance which he
promises positively will cure cancer,
provided the remedy be taken in time.
This substance is of chemical ma
ture, extracted from cancer, a toxin,
whose action Lpon cancer when IN
jected into the human body CORE
spends to the action of the smallpox
vaccine upon that disease.
Dr. NOVEL; himself is the only living
person unaffected with cancer who has
ever received this toxin into his sys.
TEN. He has taken doses both inter
nally and BY injection. Other than a
slight rise in temperature for few
hours after each dose Dr. NOVEL; re-
oeived no i'll effects from it.
The substance has been given other
wise only in cases where patients nave
advanced to the stage of operation. The
physlCldH, HO"c|cl' pCilc'to bHaN VIII
mately the toxin will be administered
in certain cases as a preventive, just
as it is given now to help the victim
combat and overcome cancer.
DR.. Nowell's assertion that cancer
can be cured il taken in its early
stages was made advisedly last week,
following the publication in THE New
England Medical Gazette" of fifty
cases of so-termed inoperable carci-
mona taken from series of two hun
dred cases which he has been treating
under the sponsorship of the Boston
University Medical School.
lie says he is well aware that his
assertion regarding "a cure if taken
in time" will cause widespread com
ment. particularly in the ranks OF the
profession, but he stands ready to
back up his words, il necessary, by
treating and curing all cases that may
be presented TO him in their so-cal!ed
incipient stage-this is before the
disease has advanced to the point
where so much tissue has become in
volved as TO render nature incapable
OF repairing the destruction.
DR.. Nowell's assertion means that a
cancer victim can be permanently
cured II he will submit to surgical
operation and prophylactic treatment
in the beginning of the disease. He
warns the person afflicted not TO delay
six months. twelve months or longer
before submitting 10 a diagnosis OF his
ailment.
