DR.. HAISELDEN,
CHICAGO, DEAD
Physician of Famous Baby Boiling
er Case is Stricken While on
Vacation in Cuba. -.

Chicago, June 19.-Dr. Harry J.
Haiselden is dead.
The physician who won interna-
tional note because of his epocnal
decision in the famous "Bollinger
Baby" case, was stricken yesterday
at Havana, Cuba, in the midst or a
vacation-the first he had been aole
to take in twenty years.
In April DR.. Haiselden turned
over charge of the German-Amer-
lean hospital to his brother-in-Iaw,
IIr. Glare ndon Rutherford. He an
nounced he would be away several
months. Friends heard from MIN
from Florida, Porto Rico, Haiti and
other southern points. All the get
ters told of the wonderful time
the physician was having.
He was on his way home when
death came, following a cerebral
hemorrhage. News of his death
reached friends in Chicago yester-
day.
Even before the "Bollinger Baby"
case in 1915, DR.. Haiselden had
Vol local renown for his defiance
of medical ethics and his espousal
of what were then considered rad
iCal practices.
He was one of the first American
physicians to publicly advocate
sterilization of the detectives, and
performed a number of operations
in accordance with his belief. He
was a believer in the theory GRIM
iual tendencies could be eliminated
by brain operations, and performed
a number of successful operations
to subStiantiate this theory. He be-
lieved also that insanity could be
similarly cured. and backed that up
by frequent operations.
Refused to Save Baby.
But the Baby Bollinger case was
the one which attracted to DR.. Hal
selden the attention of the whole
world. The physician refused to op-
crate or a baby to save it's life, on
the grounds the infant was detec-
tive and it would be better for the
baby and the race to let it die.
Doctor Haiselden was born in
Plano, ILL.,, in 1870. He received his
early education in the Lakeview
high school, entering the University
of Chicago in 1898 Afterward he
attended the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons In Chicago.

ARREST MAN
BELIEVED To
Be LANDERS
Prisoner Held at Tacoma,
Wash, Fits Description
of Hunted Man.
(special to The Argnsl.


Aledo, Ill, June 19.-Lee Lam
ders, indicted slayer of Maude
Saunders of New Boston, is be-
lieved to be in the hands of the
authorities at Tacoma, Wash. The
capture of the man suspected of
being the accused murderer is re-
ported in a telegram received last
night by Sheriff John P. Fleming
of Mercer county from H. M. Smith,
chief of police at Tacoma.
The message from Tacoma to
Sheriff Fleming reads:
Man answering description of
Lee Landers arrested here. Wire
finger print Identification"
Acting upon the request of the
Tacoma authorities, Sheriff Flem-
ing left for the tri-cities this morn
ing and obtained the finger prints
and Bertillion measurements of Lee
Landers at the Davenport police
headquarters, forwarding them by
special delivery letter. The tele-
gram was dispatched from the
northwestern city early yesterday,
but was delayed on account of
strike conditions and the Mercer
county officials received 1t last
night through the mail.
"I haven't any doubt in the world
but what he is the man." Sheriff
Fleming said. ''Landers was
known to have headed for that sec
tion of the country. Previous to
his service in the army he worked
in and around Tacoma and Port
land in the lumber camps for about
two years, and We expected that
he would strike out for that sec
ton"
The crime for which Landers is
wanted was committed on the night
of April 20 at New Boston, but the
victim, Maude Saunders, did not
die until the following morning in
a Galesburg hospital. She did not
regain consciousness. Her bloody
and mangled body was discovered
about 7 o'clock in the morning of
April 81 on the rails of a side
track just out of New Boston.
Landers is reported to have been
seen with the girl early in the
evening of April 20, and he disap-
peared following the crime.
First Seen Near Peoria.
The first intimation as to the
destination Landers was heading
for came to Sheriff Fleming from
Ladd, Ill, a short distance from
Peoria. 1t was at this point that
Landers is believed to have slept
on Wednesday night following the
crime when he bunked in Jun
gle" camp, resting place of hobos.
Those who were in the camp were
attracted by the nervousness dis
played by Landers. They informed
the sheriff that the man would hide
every time someone was seen ap-
preaching, and upon being asked if
he had got into some trouble at
Peoria, replied that he had done a
lob down at New Boston" and
wanted to get into the northwest
country.

time whenever the party passed
through a town it seemed that ev-
cry man, woman and child was in
the streets.
Cheering ThrOngs Everywhere.
The visit at Ostend was most in
teresting. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
were taken out to the Mole, which
was broken last April by the Brit
ish and from there saw the rusting
parts of the hulls of vessels which
were sunk in the channel. Brussels
was reached at 9:15 tonight.
Through the cheering crowds in
the streets and past buildings
bright with the flags of Belgium
and the United States. the presi-
dent was taken to the palace where
he was presented to P--mbers of

KILL DAYLIGHT
SAVING LAW BY
CONGRESS VOTE
Both House and Senate
Meet Farmers Demand
and Repeal Act.

Washington, d c.. June 19.-In
response to the widespread de
mands from the rural sections of
the country, both the senate and
the house yesterday voted to repeal
the daylight saving law.
The senate adopted the repeal by
a vote of J6 to 6; the house by Il
vote of 233 to 1872. AS adopted by
the senate the repeal takes effect
on Oct. 26; as adopted by the
house it becomes effective Oct. 80.
A conference between the two
houses probably will be necessary
to adjus' this difference of time.
Senator LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin offered the repeal in the SEN
ate. He said he would have pre-
ferred to make it effective much
earlier, but had deferred to the
wishes of some CT his colleagues,
who feared that much confusion
would result fIom changing the
time before Oct. &c.
Vehement Protest Is Made.
Senator Williams of Mississippi
protested vehemently against the
action. He was growing tired"
he said, of the senate's constant
ursurpatioL
at is trying to usurp the author
ity OF the executive and the author
ity of the states, and now it is
trying to usurp the authority of
God Almighty himself by attempt
ing to interfere with the time"
Senator Williams said.
The only votes agaist the repeal
in the senate were those of Sena-
tor Calder of New York, Senator
Newberry of Michigan, Senator
F'relinghuysen of New Jersey, Sen
ator Page Of Vermont, Senator
Phipps of Colorado, and Senator
Robinson of Arkansas.
An amendment presented by
Representative Bland of Indiana to
make the repeal effective immedi-
ately was defeated in the house by
a vote of 10 to 2O3, and another by
Representative Wheeler of Illinois,
making it effective ten days after
signing by the president, also was
rejected.
Farmers Demand Repeal
JNGpI SScildlINC IJoNh Va w IoNbI-
sin, chairman of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce,
was in charge of the bill. He de-
clared that the farmers of the mid
die west we're unanimously de-
manding the repeal of the law on
the ground that tiadvanced the
milking hour to an unreasonable
time and cut short the last end of
the working day, when conditions
were mos' favorable for work in
the fields.
Others who spoke for the repeal
included Representative Sweet of
Iowa, Knutson of Minnesota, Sand
ers of Indiana an Campbell of Kan
sas.
This is a war measure and
should be Immediately repealed .
Mr.. Campbell said. at has help
ed nobody, has saved nothing. but
has Inconvenience many people.
Those who are in favor of con-
tinuing this law now that the war
is over are deceiving themselves
and the public"
Representative Sims of Tennes-
see led the opposition to the re-
peal. He was supported by Repre-
sentative Ware and Moore of Penn
sylvania. La Guardia OF New York
and others.

CALLS MOVE BY
KNOX ATTEMPT
AT 'DICTATION'
UncaIled for Effort to
Meddle With Peace
Declares Thomas.

Washington, June 19.-Adoption
of the Knox resolution regarding
the league OF nations and the peace
treaty would be interpreted as un-
called for effort by the senate to
dictate to the peace conference,
Senator Thomas, Democrat of Colo
rado, said today in opposing the
measure. The Colorado senator
declared the proposal that the SEN
ate declare itself against accepting
the league as intertwined with the
peace terms was improper and un-
wise.
Before Senator Thomas spoke,
Senator Spencer, Republican of
Missouri, who had not previously
indicated his views regarding the
league of nations, introduced a
resolution proposing that the SEN
ate declare that under any league
plan adopted application of the
Monroe doctrine must be reserved
entirely for national determination.
The resolution went over without
action.
Il ASSu W VLOO OAAV A@
Plans to force a showdown on the
league of nations in the senate be-
fore signing Of the peace treaty at
Versailles were further considered
today at conferences of league op-
ponents.
Several proposals were under
consideration. One would call for
a test vote in the fight over Sena-
tor Knox's resolution proposing to
serve notice that the senate cannot
accept the league covenant as now
incorporated in the treaty. Anoth-
er suggests passage of resolution
declaring the war at an end, and
still another proposes round robin
to show the strength of those op-
posing the league.
viii Seek Test Vote.
1t is not considered likely that
q definite course will be decided
on until tomorrow League oppo-
nentS do not hope for a vote on
adoption of the Knox resolution,
but they believe they can get it
into such a parliamentary situation
that a test vote can be had. The
round robin plan is held in reserve
as a last resort should the league
supporters block all other efforts
for an expression of senate opinion
before the German delegates give
their decision on the treaty Mon
day
Those supporting the league will
fight any attempt for record vote
at this time, contending it would be
misleading and would constitute
undue interference with the peace
conference.

CITIZENS OF BERLIN URGE

signed themselves to the in
eVitable.
Rather then end with terror
than terror without end" waA tho
way one small merchant put it to-

Paris, June 19.-While intimat-
ing that it has little direct or com
prehensive information regarding
the German attitude toward the
signing of the peace treaty. the
American delegation TO the peace
conference is optimistic in its view
of the situation. In common with
peace conference circles generally,
the delegates are not disturbed by
the newspaper reports from Ger
many received here, Of an un.
friedly attitude toward the revised
terms.
CBy the. Associated Press.)
German feeling toward the peace
treaty appears to be taking more
favorable trend. Although the
peace delegation headed by Count
Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau is repre-
sented as decidedly opposed to ac-
ceptance of the revised allied
terms, the latest dispatches from
Weimar where the German cab
met and national assembly are
considering the treaty, reflect a
different viewpoint.
Favor Signing.
The majority Socialists, the
present dominant political force IN
the German republic, are declared
in these advices to be more fav-
than at first, while the clericals
and the Democrats of the left wing
are reported to be swinging in the
same direction. One report from
Berlin represents the people of the
capital as resigned to the future,
desiring only TO see the treaty
signed and the suspense ended.
In the meantime, however, rum
ors of an exciting nature are
printed in London newspapers, 1t
being said that the British grand
feet is prepared to sail on short
notice for Germanic waters, and
that British dirigibles are already
near the German coast, if not over
German soil.

Adjournment Encounters
New Delay - House
Passes Tax Bill.

Springfield. Ill. June 19.-An-
other delay to adjournment of the
| legisl lature was encountered today
| in the discovery that a decision of
/ the supreme court yesterday would
knock out tax rates affecting West
Park district in Chicago, and that
action of the general assembly
would be necessary to cure the
trouble
Plans now are for amendment of
bills on third reading in the house
to remedy the tax rate difficulty
This will make necessary recall of
the measures to second reading
and postponement of final action
by the house until tomorrow. The
senate then will be able to concur
in the house amendment before
noon.
By a vote of SO to 35 the house
this afternoon passed the first of
the Glackin bills adjusting tax
rates to the initial bond increase
measure This was taken to indi-
cate the success of the Chicago
more bonds" program. Sixty
eight bills remain to be acted on.
The bill passed would scale down
the Chicago city rate from S2.15 to
$143, and the downstate rate from
$500 to s1.33.
May Hold Until Saturday.
Opposition of downstate repre-
sentatives, chiefly among the Dem
ocrats, to the first of the siXty-nIne
tax rate adjusting bills gave color
to the~ impression of some legisla-
tive leaders that the house might be
IN session until Saturday. The tax
adjustment bills are made necessary
by passage yeterday of the initial
bond increase bill of Senator Glack-
in TO enable Chicago and otner
cities to increase bonded indebted
ness.
Before taking up the tax levy
bills, the house defeated the At
wood bill intended to permit coun-
ties to erect memorials for soldiers
and to levy taxes. 1t was sponsored
by Winnebago county.
