LIQUOR SELLER CAUGHT
Joseph Bradley. Arrested on Charge
of Furnishing Jerry Sims, Col
ored, With Whisk:..,

Among the cases in the Police
Court this morning was tha. ot
Jerry Sims, colored, several colored
men and women and one white man,
who were arrested by Sergeant Will
kinson and Officers Snenings, Zcll
and Ga1vey last night On the charge
of disorderly conduct in Sima's house
on Royal street, between Oronoco
and Pendelton. Another charge was
! urged against Sims, it being alleged
that he dispensed liquor to MS
guests. :
Two of the women w!u were in
the house volunteered as witnesses
for the prosecution, ana they testi-
fed that Sims left the h"'ise last
night and returned in few minutes
with whisky which he said ne pur-
chased from Joseph Bradley, on the
opposite side of the street. A war
rant was made out Immediately and
Sergeant Scott and Officers Snellings
and Rawlett later conducted Bradley
into court. Sims testified that he
purchased the liquor from Bradley
and the latter was held for ne ac
ton of the grand jury. Sims and
the parties who were in the house
were recognized for their appearance
before the Corporation Court. The
officers found eighteen and half
quarts of liquor in Bradley's house.
He had been selling it at seventy
cents pint.
Martha Myers, colored, and three
other women Of the same hue, had
been arrested by officers Henderson,
Zell, Roland and Snellings OH the

FORGED HIS DIVORCE
Driven to Suicide, 1t Is Believed, by
Fear of Exposure.

Baltimore, July l8.-Investigatior
into the life of James E. Ely, jr., the
Baltimore travelling salesman, who
committed suicide in his room at the
Hotel Joyce, shows that he wrote
and signed a bogus decree of divorce
from his first wife and then went
through the marriage ceremony with
Miss Edith Berkenstock, of Parkers-
burg, w. Va, who was with him
when he took his life.
That the girl and her family were
made to believe that Ely was free
man is shown clearly. Miss Berken-
stock turned over to Coroner Dris-
coll the fake decree and the certi-
ficate of marriage signed by Park
ersburg minister.
The "decree" sets forth that it is .
duplicate and was obtained in the cir
cult court by Carl K. Mengel, q
prominent lawyer of Baltimore. It
is also stated that an absolute di-
vorce was granted in August, 1914
and that Mrs. James E. Ely, jr., OF
the Walbert Apartments, has the
original.
A search through the records shows
that no divorce decree has ever been
granted either Mr.. or Mrs. Ely.
Carl K. Mengel denied emphati'
cally that he had been attorney for
Ely.
Mrs. Ely, the first, at her home Ill
the Walbert Apartments. declared
that t-the document is fake and that
therefore, the second marriage is not
legal.
The fact that Judge Dawkins had
signed an order requiring Ely to ap'
pear in court on the alimony proceed,
ings must have frightened the man
He probably realized that it would
be found that he had two wives. Ihls
is believed to have been the cause OF
him taking his life.

NEEDOF DOCTORS ACUTE
Thirty-Seven Districts in State Re-
port They Lack Physicians to Care
For Sick.

Richmond, July Establishments
in the army and navy by Virginia
physicians during the last few weeks
have more than Offset the recent
graduations from the medical schools
and have left at least thirty-seven
districts in Virginia without suffic-
Tent physicians to care for the sick.
In the judgment Of the State Board
or Health, which ~ gave pU5.ic-
~ to these figures, IA neel is
probably greater and more acute
than available statistics Indicate
Such reports as have come to the
board have been from individuals
and have usually been coupled with
urgent requests to the board to pre-
vail upon physicians to take up prac-
tice in the neglected districts. 1t is
reasoned that in many other dis
tricts, probably, physicians have so
recently left that the need is not yet
fully appreciated.
One instance has been reported to
the board, and announced through
the press, in which two patients suf-
fering from typhoid fever could not
have adequate medical attention ow-
ing to the lack of physicians. The
only doctor VINO could be counted
upon to visit these cases, when need
ed became overworked because of
the many calls upon him and fell
sick. Thercupon, the patients had to
shift for themselves.
The State Board Of Health does
not believe that this shortage can
Ihe relieved during the war, especial
ly as it is estimated that 10000 Of
the available 10000 physicians in
the United States will be needed for
service abroad. Consequently the
beard is urging the public to take
steps necessary to prevent sickness
which might otherwise have to 90
without medical attention.
At the same time, the board is
very ANXIOUS TO communicate with
competent physicians who may wish
70 take ap peacttis-. or to change
their present location Upor appI'-
cation by any such physician, they
will be supplied with a list of the
places in Virginia where physicians
are reported TO be needed.
