MRS. SULLIVAN RE-
 TURNED TO HOSPITAL
Husband Loses Fight in Chan
 cery Court for Possession of
 His Wife-CIaimed She Was Held in Institution Unlawfully

After hearing testimony by Dr. E. P Bledsoe, superintendent of the Hos pital for Nervous Diseases and other physicians, Chancellor James D. Shay CT yesterday ordered Mrs. Jay Sulli- van returned to the hospital
 Sullivan sued out writ of habeas corpus to get his wife, whom he al leges was sane, released from the state hospital, where he charged she was unlawfully held. Judge Shaver ruled that Mrs. Sullivan was of un- sound mind and should be returned to the hospital at Little Rock.
 Judge Shaver also held that Sulli van in seeking the discharge of his wife, should have applied to the State Board of Control and if overruled, then appeal to the courts, but Sulli- van failed to do this and the chancery court had no jurisdiction. Sullivan alleged that his wife was not per mitted to correspond or receive let ters from him and that the officials of the institution failed to comply with the law in having their mail in spected before leaving the institution. Dr. Bledsoe denied that any patient had been refused permission to cor respond with anyone. but admitted that all letters leaving the hospital were read.
 Sullivan asked that his wife be placed on the stand, but was denied the request by the court for the req son that her testimony would have no bearing on the case as she had been previously examined by two local physicians whose testimony was heard. which was sufficient.
 Sullivan's attorneys will probably appeal to the Supreme court.

MEDICAL WORLD
 WATCH RESULTS
nr Rosenow of Mayo Founda- D' tion to Make Another Import ant Report-Scientists Are Encouraged.

uorkato. Minn., Dec. 5-Physicians :. attendance at the annual meeting of the Southern Minnesota Medical Association here today heard that Dr. r Rosenow of the Mayo Founda- ..r whose recent discovery of the ro,m of infantile paralysis has s-oused nationwide interest, expects to he able soon to make further an nouncement with reference to cure for the disease.
 nr Rosenow did not, of course, dis euss the report, but it is stated upon tbe highest authority that he is at rresent bringing to a conclusion in tbe laboratories of the Mayo Founda- ,;on at Rochester, Minn., a-series of ovneriemnts which are expected to demonstrate encouraging results with inc vaccine which he and his asso- cistes. Drs. Towne and Wheeler, are perfecting.
 While he expressed his positive be- lief that the polymorphous strepto- cOccus which he and Drs. Towne and Wheeler have repeatedly isolated is the micro organism causing infantile parqlyss. Dr. Rosenow did not allude to his most recent experiments-that is to those directed at solution of the problem of curing the disease. The mofcssional gossip attendant upon his appearance here, however, was to the effect that Rochester scientiots feel much encouraged over what they have been able to do with the vaccine, and that a further formal announcement on this point is not a matter of the distant future.

"SMOTHERING DEMOCRACY"

San Francisco.-Under the above cap
ton, the Labor Clarion calls attention to
an increasing tendency to control the
lives of workers by commissions, investi-
gators, experts and self-consttuted regu-
lators, therby destroying individual in
dependence of action and substituting
mastership over the masses by individ-
uals and groups.
Strange as it may SEEM continues
the Labor Clarion, some workers are
being deceived into acquiescence by the
suave presentation of surface indications
by their would-be masters, while others
are being bribed SO to do by selfish per-
sonal advantage.
"ln some instances the approach to
bondage is being directed along the lines
of paternalism in the name of the
brotherhood of man. Nowhere, however,
in these cunningly devised schemes is
real brotherhood distinguished None of
them calculate to do anything for the
weak that does not demand compound
interest for the strong in the industrial
world
"Thc sooner the workers cast aside
the hope of having something done for
them, and proceed to do things for
themselves, the better they will be able
to live the lives of freemen and the
surer they can be of leaving to their
children a heritage of liberty and indie
pendence such as gives to the individual
a degree of control over his own destiny
here on earth.
"The best minds in the labor move
ment are constantly issuing warnings
against the workers plunging headlong
into the skillfuly concealed traps set for
them by astute agents of greed, but such
advice frequently falls upon deaf ears
and as a consequence large numbers of
workers are kept out of the unions and
become hopelessly cnmeshed. in the
clutches of reed-dominated employers.
Every worker should be enrolled
under the banner of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and be determined to
travel the path of sound American trade
unionism as cnunciated by that body dur
ing the past quarter of century. Other
wise. dire consequences may be-in fact,
strongly seem to be-in store for us.
"lf you have not strongly considered
this question, look about YOU and see
what the signs Of the times portcnd-
good or evil"

WORKING CONDITIONS
BLAMED FOR ACCIDENTS

San Francisco.-The State Industrial
Accident Commission declines to accept
the theory that the willful misconduct of
employees is responsible for accidents.
The commission believes the mental
condition of the worker, through poor
food, long hours and bad working con-
ditions makes it impossible for mans
mind and his body to coordinate.
During 1914 there were 62.211 indus
trial accidents in this State, and in an
swcring the oft-repeated claim that 80
per cent OF accidents are preventable,'
the commission says:
Sixty thousand men, who can least
afford to suffe and lose time and money,
can scarcely be said to rush into trouble
with clear consciousness of the results.
Some accidents result from foolshness !;
some from carelessness on the part OF
the injured; some are pure accidents !;
but it seems that the best explanation is
found in the almost universal lack of CO.
ordination between mans mind and
his body. That is to say the question of
accident is almost inseparable from the
physiological and, consequently, the men
tai condition of the man. A man with
dead liver or vivid imagination,
makes poor aviator or structural steel
worker. A man with lealy heart is a
bad risk on the top of scaffold. The
same is true with machinery. A bad
bearing, or leaky steam chest, and in
dustry pays for it. The economy is
false; cheap clothes, cheap food cheap
labor, and cheap machinery never have
and never will bring the desired results.
They are always more expensive in the
end. If an automobile is to render the
best service, it must have the best care.
Likewise with the man who labors in
industry; if he is not to be burden and
a loss to industry, he must have reason
able attention. The continued recogni-
tion of this economic law and its per-
sistent application will, no doubt, COM
pcnsate society beyond its hopes"

ADJUSTMENTS
EMPRESS THEATER.

Barney Gilmore, than whom there is
no more popular Irish actor in existence
will be the applaudable headliner at the
Empress Theater next week-the last
week of the present season, by the way.
Barney Gilmore is easily recalled at the
head of his own big companies as the
star of THE Rocky Road to Dublin" and
Dublin Dan and other plays Of Celtic
surrounding. Not only is he of recog-
nized stellar caliber, but he has been in
the past most welcome visitor in Gin
cinnati, and his admirers have thronged
the theatre in which he played here. This
will be Mr.. Gilmore's first appearance at
the Empress, and in the merry medley
of laughs which he calls Love at First
Sight" all the romance, dash, wit and
comedy gifts Of this favoritc delineator
OF unctuous and delightful types of the
Emerald Isle will be seen at their best.
In addition to this exceptional act,
there are number of fine acts of equal
strength and attractiveness to make up
a bill that will aid in making the occa-
sion one that will be long and pleasantly
remembered. Among them are the Four
Valdares, three charming girls and a
comedian, who appear in an act that is
entirely different from any that has been
seen her Charles Bartholomew, one of
the best liked of vaudcvillians, has been
featured on many bills, and he is recog-
nized among stage folk as one of the
most brilliant singing humorists Of the
day. Another offering of more than
usual prominence is that of Eastman and
Moore, who have picturesque and beat
tifully staged production in His Gipsy
Sweetheart Still another highly agree
able act is that of Henry and Lzell, who
are bright lights indeed from New
Yorks Great White Way, and, with
kremka Brothers, rollicking, funny lads
Of sensation, contribute toward show
that gives every promise of being one of
the best of the season Then there will
be, of course, two very funny photo

COLOUR BILL SIGNED.

Columbia, S. C.-Governor Manning
has signed the so-called sixty-hour bill,
despite pleas of cotton mill men to veto
this legislation. The law limits the work
week to sixty hours, or not exceeding
eleven hours in any one day in cotton
and wooden manufacturing establish
ments. Exceptions are made in the case
of mechanics, engineers, liremen, watch
men, yard employees and the clerical
force. Another exception provides that
"lost time to the extent of sixty hours
per annum may be made up within three
months from the time same was lost.
The mill owners can't understand why
the hours of their women and child
workers should be interfered with, and
threaten to appeal to the courts, They
say the law is Unconstitutional.
Another feature of this bill, regulating
"docking' of wages, is objectional to
mill owners. Hereafter the wages of an
operative shall not be seized on the claim
that the worker is fined" The law pro-
vidcs that "docking' can not total a
greater amount than the machine would
have produced in the workers absence.

SEAMEN ON TWO LINERS
STRIKE
Demands For More Pay On All YES

Sought, Though Bonus Is Being
Given When the War Zone Is
Entered.

New York, April 15.-Action, which
was believed to be the iorerunner Of
an effort to cause a general strike
among seamcn OF all classes on ocean
gong steamships, resulted here today
IN one vessel, the American liner Mon
gollan, being delayed several hours in
sailing, and another, the New York
and Porto Rico liner Brazos, being
forced to anchor down the day after
leaving her pier.
The Mongolian, laden with 10000
tons of mixed cargo for Liverpool, was
to sail carly in the day, but did not get
away until 500 p. IN. The crew, it
was said, struck after demand for
higher wages had been refused by Of
hclas OF the American line.
When the vessel finally sailed it was
explained that a truce" had been ci-
fccted, and that some of the demands
of the strikers had been granted.
The BraZos had made her way as far
as the Statue of Liberty, on her out
ward voyage, when delegation OF fire
men, coal paSscrs and sailors was said
to have appeared before Captain II. W.
Barstow and presented demands similar
to those in the case OF the Mongolian.
