TO HAVE FACED
WHITE SLAVE CHARGE

Tampa, July 6.-From records in
Deputy U. s. Marshal Rennolds' of
flee 1t has been ascertained that a
charge of white slavery was soon
to be brought against j. j. Men
denhall, held for the murder of Miss
Elliott and mother by Miss Elliott
who had agreed to sign an affidavit
charging him with taking her to
Chicago in March, such act coming
under the White Slave law
1t is alleged that he had prom
ised to secure divorce and marry
the girl, but had later refused to
Go this, and as last step, the moth
er had decided to prosecute.
The prosecution will attempt to
prove that in his desperation he
killed the women, thus hoping to
stay prosecution under the White
Slav law.
The prisoner remains in the
Clearwater Jail, where he is held
! without bail. The outcome Of the
fearful tragedy is awaited with
much interest, as both families art
prominent and well connected.

London. July 6.-Many London
shop windows are displaying "a new
cartoon poster drawn for the re-
cruiting Office of one of the home
defense regiments. 1t shows a
typical British father before the
war, resigned to middle age, bent

and martial in department.
The cartoon illustrates one of the
great topics Of the day among the
thousands of business men who have
taken up military training in the
home defense regiments. They are
all men over forty, who undergo
daily course of training extending
over an hour or two, and who are in
many cases marvelling at the trans
formation thereby wrought in their
figures.
Men who fought nature with mas
sage, baths. diets and drugs In vain,

quered the advancing waist line.

CHINESE TO SECURE UNI
FORM PRONUNCIATION
(By Associated Press. }

Pekin, July 6-The board of
education has finally set to work up
on the production of Chinese al
phabet for uniform prououn citation.
The Chinese Ian suarge, as is well
known, is a system of biography
which conforms more to certain
systems of shorthand than to any
occidental language system, with
this distinction. that the radicals
characters representing the sense
to be conveyed) are arbitrary and
not phonetic. The problem now is
to impart to these ancient radicals
unified, phonetic significance. In
China there are many dialects, and
but one written language. There
are, of course, what are known as
the "six styles in writing this
Ian nguage Citizens of the provin-
ces of Shantung and Shansi. al
though they are neighbors, speak
altogether dialects. which naturally
causes a great deal of confusion
This confusion is even greater be
tween citizens of Chilhli in thu
north and those of Kwangung In thu
south. The unification of the pro
nounciation will be an importan
step in the naturalization of thu
Chinese people.
1t will be remembered that DR.
Chas. w. Eliot, president emeritu
of Harvard University, impressed
this fact upon officials of the Chimes
during his visit here, and the opin
ion of this great American educa
tionalist has had considerabl
weight.

MOST SUCCESSFUL HOSPITAL
IS AT CAMBRIDGE, ENG.
(By Associated Press.)

Cambridge, England, July g.
Cambridge is the home of the most
successful hospital experiment that
has been attempted in England
since the beginning of the war. The
first eastern general hospital, built
early last fall. was an attempt to
enlist the largest possible amount of
fresh air and sunshine into the
treatment of invalid soldiers. The
wards are without "a wall on the
south frontage, being wide open to
wind and sun.
After six months experience, the
managers of the hospital declare 1t
an unqualified success. Eleven thou
sand English and Belgian patients
have been received from the front
and from military camps in Eng
land. with only S5 deaths-an aver
age of 7-10 of one per cent This
is regarded as remarkable record
in view of the considerable propor-
tion of septic wounds, tetanus,
pneumonia, typhoid and spotted
fever among the patients.

capitol and shot j. p. Morgan, lay
in physical and mental collapse to.
day in Mineola Jail cell. He had
promised to tell the whole story of
his life when he is arraigned at
Glen Cove tomorrow, but his condi-
tion caused doubt if he will be able
to appear in court. The latest Of
fetal reports say that Morgan is out
of danger.
A dispatch from Glen Cove this
morning states that Holt attempted
suicide at midnight by trying to op-
en- an artery in his wrist with q lead
pencil. He had lost considerable
blood when the Mineola Jail officials
discovered the suicide attempt.
Martin W. Littleton went to Mi
nicola today to assume charge of
Holt's defence.
The theory that Holt and Erich
Muenter are the same person was
strengthened by the announcement
from Glen Cove today that scars
corresponding to those carried by
Muenter were found on Hollis body.
