NOTED SCHOLAR AND PRESIDENTS
 PHYSICIAN DEAD

Philadelphia, April 26.-Dr. J. Will liam White, the eminent surgeon, au- thor and close friend of Col. Roose- welt, died Monday evening at his home here after an illness of six l months.
 1 His death had been expected hourly since pneumonia developed last l Thursday. A disease of the spine which paralyzed the lower part of his body had SO weakened him that the pneumonia was fatal.
 Dr. James William White was born in Philadelphia November 2, 1850, the son of Dr. James w. and Mary Anne White. He was educated in the Phila- delphia public and Quaker schools and received his doctors degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1871.
 Immediately after his graduation he joined the staff of Prof. Louis Az assiz and accompanied him through out the Hassler expedition to the West Indies, both coasts of South America, the Straits or Magellan and the Galapagos Islands. In 1772 he returned to Philadelphia and began the practice of suregry, in which he later became one of the leading ex- perts in this country.
 Ten years ago Dr. White underwent an operation for cancer of the 1ntes-
  the Mayo brothers at Rochester. Mfnn. pr. White did not take an an- esthetic. He was on the operating table for an hour. The operation was said to be one of the first of it's kind that proved successful.
 Dr. White had been identified with the department of surgery at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania since 177S- In recent years he had been emeritus professor of surgery and a trustee of the university. Most of Br. 5White's surgical work was done at the unfver- sity hospital. He was a consulting surgeon to the Philadelphia and Jew ish hospitals in Philadelphia, and was frequently called into consultation at various New York hospitals.
 When President Garfield was shot by Guiteau Dr. White was associated with Dr. Agnew in the attempt to save the Presidents life. He was a member of many medical societies, both here and abroad, and was the author of several books on surgery.
 pr. White always was interested in athletics of every description. He was successful as a long distance swim rner having covered the distance, ten miles, from Newport to Narragansett on September 5, 1880, in cold rough water in five hours and forty minutes. He always took especial interest in football, of which he was a, vigorous defender. In his younger days ne was a. noted amateur boxer.
 He was president of the Athlete As sociation of the University of Penn sylvania, a member of the varsity committee on athletics and the first professor of physical education at the university. He was held in high es- teem both by the student body and faculty.

CONSCIENCE-STR
 RETURNS $5,OOO GEMS

Seattle, Wash, April 26-After a two months struggle with conscience the thief who on Feb. 14 snatched a purse containing $5.Oo0 in jeweIry and $40 in coin from Mrs. John Panton returned the jewels intact to the Pan ton home, 402 Thirtieth avenue south.
 Mrs. Panton had taken the entire stock of jewels to a downtown cleaner on Feb 14 and brought them home. A forgotten errande sent her out again. Rather than leave the jewels un- guarded she carried them back, and when passing Twenty-sixth avenue South and Dearborn street she was attacked. The police search for the thieves was fruit1ess.
 On recent afternoon the doorbe1l rang Mrs. Panton. at home alone, answered. Nobody was outside. As she was about to turn away she spied a cardboard box near the door. It contained the lost jewels, but no money. S

War May Force British
 To Cut Up Big Estates

London, April 26-The aristocratic owners of England's famous coun- try estates, comprising thousands Eof idle acres, today are selling their them financially. This is believed to mean that the idle land will be broken into small holdings and that England will becoPne an important agricultural nation.
 These grand country manors, cas- ties and mansions on immense re- serves of idle land have been fam ous for centuries deer parks, shooting preserves, lands of the fox hunt, golf and fishing Today they are a drug on the market
 The current issue of a we11-known British real estate magazine today carries 19 solid pages of closely print ed advertisements asking purchasers or tenants for more than 50,000 acres of sporting estates and innun1- erable country seats throughout Eng land, Scotland and Wales.
 Real estate experts with an eye on the fJ1ttre declare The large estates will in most eases fail of sale or lease; that they must be split into smaller tracks and sold for agricuI- turaI purposes. The fox hunt and the grouse moor will never again be so say the experts.
 Here's a sample 'tad'' of the prop critics now on the market:
 Historic manor house in the wes- tern highlands; thirty bed and dress ing rooms; several reception rooms delightful matured old grounds; 1O,- 900 acres of shooting; for sale or moderate rental.''
 4The s'ad'' continues to explain that one seasons shooting on the game preserve has been 1000 pheasants, 500 cartridges, 15O hares, 1,500 rab- bits and many woodcock, dVck and sEipe.
 Any person in America who has garnered wealth making munitions or otherwise could lease a real castle on a long time contract at very moder- ate terms.
 This castle, its lad" declares, is chaIkningly located on a pretty 1och and is surrounded by a vast sporting estate of 14,0o0 acres, 10000 of which consists of one of the best grouse moors in Scotland. The best single bag of grouse thus far has been l 75O brace. There also is excellent salmon fishing and golf links. The | lad" makes no mention of agrfcul- ture.
 With hundreds of thousands of men released from the army after dernobilization, Britain must find a place for them. Those who have | lived in the open air will not return to desks and stuffy offices and in- door civilian occupations Of the past. They will insist on continued open air, according to those who are now making a study of the situation. What were grouse moors and hunt ing estates of the pre-war period most probably will be the agricultural homes in the postwar era of thou sands of the men who have carried the guns. That England, Scotland and Wales will be much nearer the soil long before the next five years is over is the firm and widespread conviction in England.

Children Over Four Are Kept in Institution With
 Infants and Congestion Becomes Serious Problen1-InstitutiOn is Menaced By Measles.

Crowded conditions followed by an outbreak of measles at the Fresh Air Home in Fairfield, maintained by the city of Bridgeport, have caused the charities department to revert to 8 method of caring for infant depend- ents previously abolished by the board.
 Spencer R. Gordon, charities super intendent, in defending his admins tration from criticism of the number and ages of inmates at the Fairfield institution placed responsibility upon the existing housing cond= ions of this city, needed legislation to force the support of children upon parents, crowded conditions found in county and state institutions and need for ad- ditional charities investigators
 With accomodations for less than 20 children in the Fresh Air Home during the past winter there have been housed in the building as many as 26 children, ranging in age from one to eleven years.
 When no more ( children, could be housed in the Fairfield institution re- course was again had to the old Lake view home formerly declared by the charities commissioners and Gordon as an unfit place to keep minor de- pendents. A number have been kept there during the spring. season and several are there at this time
 An outbreak of measles in Fairfield threatened to spread throughout the entire ward but was checked when only three of the little ones had been affected. This incident led to an ef- fort to reduce the extreme conges-

FACT OF FOLLY
 SAYS HEATING
 ON DUBLIN RIOT

! London, April 26-"An act of folly by political Iunatics-oId disgruntIed cranks and young Sim Feiners,'\ is the orthodox view of the Irish Ma tionalists on the uprising in Ireland as expressed by Matthew Heating, member of parliament from South Kilkenny. MT. Heating has been ac- tive in the nationalist group for six years.
 ''The utter lack of real political significance in what has just taken place in Dublin can be understood when explain that those concern ed could not possibly represent more than one percent. of the population of the country said MT. Heating. ITO illustrate, not more than 25 of this band of cranxs can be found in my constituency of seven thousand. Many of them originally joined the Irish movementw hen Sir Edward Carson organized Ulster.
 Some time after we started the Irish volunteer movements to offset division between the Irish Nationalist and those following, old revolutionary movement when Sir Edward Carson name of Irish volunteers and con tinues to talk nonsense and drill af- ter-the beginning of war.
 "It is quite evident that these kept in touch with Sir Roger Easement and arranged an onslaught to coin cident with the ill-fated gun run ming exploit

ton with the result that many of the children have been sent to county and state institutions. Nineteen are at present in that place. Several are forced to sleep two in bed.
 Though the Fairfield home was es- tablished particularly for the care of children under the age of years, this rule has been repeatdIy broken.
 In explanation of this fact Gordon declares that local conditions, with inpossibiIit of placing children else where,' have forced children as old as Il years to be kept there temporarily, board/money being paid to the city through private funds.
 'It is true that our Fairfield home has been overcrowded during the past winter said Gordon today, Ffand this is to be expected in the present boom condition of the city and it's made quate housing conditions. There is no law which compels my department to segregate children less than four years of age from older ones. It is at that age that we are permitted to send them 4p state and county institutions.
 'I am una1terably opposed, as I have many times stated, to the insti- tutionalizing of children. would not even send them to the Fresh Air Home but for the fact that some temporary abode must be found for them We are still sending children to state in stitutions when we can enter them properly, but a satisfactory condition will not be reached until we can place them all in homes with adequate su- pervfsion. This we have not as yet got here''

AFTER GREAT AND INTENSE SUFFERING
 REGAINS HEALTH
Mir. E. Meserole, ,118 Orchard Street, Tells Friends the Virtues of Herbal Lax-a- Tone.

One-fourth of our city people find life a real burden and they are de- void of any real happiness due to stomach, kidney and liver trouble.
 In fact they are few that are free from these worldwide complaints, chargeable to our modern civiliza- ton and the unnatural life the city man or woman is made to lead. shore or country and living close to nature. The others, the great ma jority, drag on a miserable existence. imagining themselves a victim of many diseases. To these people Lax a-Tone is like ray of sunshine, as it and will drive away that tired worn out feeling in a few doses. MT. Mes erole, who is well known here, says
 ''I have suffered years with gas felt tired out and miserable with nervous spells due to my stomach. It seemed that 1 ccuId not get any thing that would pick me up and make me feel like I should until I tried Lax-a-Tone and much to my sur prise received great benefit so much that I am glad to indorse it to any one that wants to get into the health column and quickly
 Lax-a-Tone is Herbal and is com Dandelion. Gentian, Buchu, Cascara, Sanguinara or Blood Root and many others that are equally beneficial to the entire system. Try Lax-a-Tone for one week and watch it drive out the malaria and tired feeling that comes with spring time It will also relieve constipation, torpid liver, sour, acid stomach and headaches.
 The Lax-a-Tone man is at Harti- gan's drug store, S1 Fairfield avenue, near Main street, where he is intro ducing this remedy to the Bridgeport public,-AdV.
