to do this. The financial wtrs men,
who number about TOO In this city, will
meet again probably on Thursday, and
If Wall Street has failed to get results
favorable to the striking keymen, the
brokerage men will then vote on the
question of q walkout, which would
probably seriously hamper the nation 8
financial operations.
Strong sentiment In favor Of the
strikers developed at the meeting, 1t
WAS learned, and $500 In cash was
given for the strikers and pledges
made to increase that amount to 1000
by Tomorrow.
Interviews with financial operators
developed the fact that some Of their
number favor q sympathetic strike If
the method Of helping the strikers de-
ciAed on at yesterdays meeting brings
no results. Advices from the Western
brokerage division headquarters at
Chicago were that financial keymen

Business Is moving normally"
Mr.. Carlton aIse announced that the
Western Union was ready TO furnish
expert operators to ell brokers, bankers
and users OF leased wires should they
require the services OF such men. This
statement, It was explained, was issued
to reassure users Of leased wires that
their business would go on even il the
brokerage men went out. Union lead
ers declared, however, that the regular
operators would be unable TO handle
the code business which is transacted
over many financial wires, and that if
the Western Union attempted to make
good on its promise operators would
have TO be withdrawn from the main
Office, and general telegraphic bust
ness would suffer as result.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
MET TUESDAY NIGHT

The High School Alumni initiation
of the class of 191S-1919 took place
at the Y. NJ. G. A. Tuesday night,
when about thirty boys and girls rode
the goat. The alumni has been
dropped for the past two years on
account of so many OF the boys being
in the army, but they have started
up again in great force The initia-
ton committee consisted of Searcy
Young, Pearl Moak, Frank Gayer,
Ruth Gentry, Juanita Pigott and Ed
die Moore.
The new members were first shown
just how they were going to look
after they had been initiated when
Robert Young was brought in on a
stretcher all stained with blood and
bandaged up. The members were
first made to ride the goat and later
were put in a dark room where a
skeleton was sitting in the corner
with a candle in his head. The COM
mittees put the novitiates through all
kinds of tricks and performances that
made their blood curdle.
After the initiation refreshments
were served.

Another Candidate
Announces for Gov.

Hewitt Bouanchaud, speaker of the
Louisiana House of Representatives,
will be a candidate for governor.
Mr.. Bouanchaud did not make the an
nouncement himself Saturday night,
but J.. H. Morrison of New Roads,
district attorney of Pointe Coupee
parish, and who was closely asseci-
ated with Mr.. Bouanchaud in the
campaign Of Edward j. Gay for the
United States Senate, stated posi-
lively at the Monteleone Hotel that
Mr.. Bouanehaud would be candi-
date.
The formal announcement of Mr..
Bouanchaud has been delayed by the
fact that he does not believe that the
people of Louisiana want long cam
paign and that one is unnecessary
and that because the farmers of the
state are having trouble with their
crops, according to Mr.. Morrison.
The illness of one o. Mr.. Bouan-
chaud's sisters has also worried him
to such an extent that he was unable
even to attend the annual meeting of
the alumni of Louisiana State Uni
.versity, held in Baton Rouge Satur-
day.

REED CASE RESTS
In HANDS OF JURY

Covingtcn, La, June Hollow
ing the conclusion of arguments to-
night in the case of Leroy Reed, a
taxicab operator charged with the
murder of his wife, the case was
given to the jury and verdict is ex-
pected Wednesday morning.
The defense endeavored to break
down the states chain of evidence
against Reed by the introduction of
a witness from Texas, Frank Patter-
son and w. L. Minkler and others.
Reed has continued to deny the
charge of having killed his wife. A
hammer was used by the murderer
and witnesses were introduced to
show that Reed was elsewhere, oper-
ating his taxicab at the time the
woman was killed
The defense attacked the value of
evidence by Maurice O'Neill, Bertil-
lon operator for the New Orleans po-
lice department, who was a state
witness. F. ]. Heintz and Jake Berry
were state witnesses. Minkler tes-
titled Reed had scratches on the back
of his hand the night of the murder
and had wiped the blood from these
scratches on his coat. The defense
tried to show Reed innocent of the
killing and that third party had
visited his home during his absence
and killed his wife.
The evidence against Reed, largely
circnmstantial, was to prove he was
of jealous disposition and when he
found his wife had been entertain
ing another man during his absence
he attacked her with a hammer and
fatally injured her.

FLU TO BE NO MORE
FEARED THAN A BOIL

New York, June 17.-Influenza
and pneumonia are no more to be
feared than boil on the back of the
neck, according to DR.. Charles II.
Duncan, one of the founders of the
Voluteer Hospital, who in an address
here today before the convention Of
the Allied Medical Associations of
America described his method of COM
batting Spanish influenza by means
Il "immunizing a patient in rs own
poison"
treatment Cures Every Case
Upon 245 patients i'll with pneL-
Duncan said, he had used the treat
ment without single fatality or
any complications"
Briefly" the physician sa q
take one draehm o. mucuous from
the infected area and pasteurize it in
one ounce Of filtered water, where
it remains sevral hours. One cubic
=centimeter Of this toxine, injected
simultaneously will effect a spon-
taneous cure of Spanish influenza,
pneumonia, catarrah or any similar
localized infection. 1t will stop any
cough, except tuberculosis, within "a
hours"
Dogs Sore Paw Gives Hint
DR.. Duncan declared his discovery
was based upon his observation of a
dog licking sore paw. He said the
dog, by increasing germs of resist
ance at the place of infection brought
about a natural healing, and the
method he employed was similar in
that it increased the leucocytes, OF
white corpuscles of the blood, and
these in turn carried the poisons out
of the human system.
The doctor said he had been using
the method, which he calls auto
theraphy," for about ten years, and
that it now was widely accepted by
allopaths, homeopaths and electie
physicians. although it had not been
Endorsed by the American Medical
Association.
BoiIs and Eczema Simple
DR.. Duncan said that by taking the
poison from a boil and subjecting Il
to this process and injecting the ster-
ilized product into Z patients body
he. not only cured him of the boil,
but rendered him immune from re-
petition of such Affections Similar
results, he said, had been attained in
cases Of mastoiditis, eczema and or
tain tsS2es of local diseases.
