J When Governor Smith of New York
signed the Sunday baseball bill Mag
istrate Francis x. McQuade, who also
is treasurer Of the New York Giants,
received hundreds of kilograms Of con-
gratulations. 1t was a great personal
victory. For three years before he
was connected with the Giants-he
had fought for the bill. 1t almost
passed last year. The privilege of
playing Sunday ball in New York is
the biggest kind Of boost for base;

leading to unsightly attachment and ulti-
mate contraction Of the skin where it is
bound down by the Inflammation.
THAT the development of this connective
tissue Is gradual has been mentioned some
authors claiming a complete replacement
OF the mass at the end of a month, others
from two or three months. Morton saws
that four months time is required before
the mass is, more or less, completely re-
moved and replaced by organized tissue.
The author believes, however, that the
length of time necessary for this replace
ment not only varies but markedly with
some patients in which the growth or de-
Yelopments of the new tissue did not
cease for months and even a year after
such injection.
Time alone will show the ultimate be-
haviOr of this new tissue, and while IL is
reasonable to argue that this newly organ
lied tissue could cause no untoward re-
suits, it must be determined whether this
tissue will not undergo atrOphy and con-
tract, or become susceptible to other
changes in time II is a new tissue prac-
tically, and as yet we know nothing Of it's
idiosyncrasies."
The development OF modern nasal sur
gerry has been specialized on in the clinic
of st. Marks Hospital. Eleventh street and
Second avenue, New York City, where
some Of the operations described in this
and previous nasal surgery articles were
performed. The photographs shown in
this rticle are those Of patients operated
upon at St. Marks Hospital free clinic.

Before and After Photographs of Young Man
Whose Nose Was Operated On to the Considerable
Improvement of His Appearance.

After the first few days wearing the
patient becomes quite used to the nose
splint. 1t is worn in this way for about
three weeks. Then it may be discarded
and the surgeon will pinch his patients
nose two or three times a week to insure
the best results.
BY this simple and harmless method a
perfectly ridiculous nose has been trans
formed into a delightful feature of fault
less and fascinating beauty.

cally painless, causes no scar if properly
performed and corrects a deformity that
could not be overcome otherwise in some
cases, while in others it would entail not
only difficult surgical interferences, but

the very defects which were intended to
be corrected"

and esthetic uses. With delicate hand,
guided by long study of human faces, the
surgeon can employ the paraffin to oblit-

eyebrows and the fixed frowns. and thus
restore a prematurely aged face to a
youthful and carefree appearance.
This wonderful paraffin will, it is said,
fill out cheeks followed by sickness. grief
or poverty and bring back an air of hap
piness and prosperity to faces that seemed
doomed to lifelong sadness.
Even ugly droops about the chin that
come with old age can be obliterated by
this substance. Sunken burrows beneath

be filled out. The graceful and alluring

Remarkable results have been achieved
by Professor Gersuny's method of inject
ing paraffin under the skin for the restora-
ton of sunken noses and facial contours
One surgical authority states that it is
rapidly taking the place of extensive trans
plantOry and metal and bone plate opera
tons for building up depressed noses and
other abnormal cavities.

as it solidifes. Unlike most foreign sub
stances, it is held by the tissues with per-

The surgeon lifts up the skin over the
area with the fingers of his left hand as a
guide to its mobility and to steady the
part.

paraffin can be injected if needed in
two or three days. The mass requires
about three weeks to become thoroughly
adapted to the tissues.
This treatment is said to be particularly
effective for curing depressed nose bridges.
In such cases the injection is made at one
side in order to avoid making the pune
ture conspicuous. If the skin is very stiff
it is prepared for the operation by mas
saying it for few days in advance.

trifle too much paraffin for that will pro-
duce an ugly broadening of the nose. There
is a thickening of the tissues after the
operation. in addition to the increase in
size due to the paraffin.
With the object of securing the finest
esthetic result, the surgeon procures a
nasal splint Of aluminium covered on the
inside with a fold of white gauze and
pressed into such shape that when applied
to the nose it will keep the latter pinched
up to the desired width. This splint is not
borne by the patient with comfort until
after the slight Inflammation that follows
the operation has subsidized. 1t is then held

A nurse or assistant is
instructed to press the

not be injected, as it can

GERMAN MAGYAR PLOT EXPOSED

Creel Makes Public Secret
 Letters of Count Czernin.
ASSASSINATION OF
 FERDINAND TOLD
Kaiser Learned Austria Was prepar- ing To Throw Oii German
 Yoke.

New York. March 27.-George Greet, former chairman of the committee on public information, made public here tonight summary of the secret cor respondence of Count Czernin, late foreign minister of Austria Hungary, which was turned over to Edgar Sis son, at The Hague, the custodian of ficial of the Bohemian government on January 24th last. One of the most sensational of the disclosures was that there was a German-Magyar con- spiracy against the Archduke Fran cis Ferdinand heir apparent to the throne of Austria, who was assassi mated at Sarajcvo on June a3. 1914, because he was considered rival of the then Emperor William.
 Mr. Greet said Mr. Sisson accepted the privilege of using the correspond ence ill behalf Of the United States government. Translators and a pho tographer in the service of the com mittee on public information were set at work to translate the documents for general publication in this coun- try as the final public contribution of the committee, according to Greet. He declared one copy was to be turn ed to Secretary of State Lansing for use of the peace conference commits sion Investigating responsibility for the outbreak of the war. while an- other was to be sent to the commit- tee at Washington for release to the press. He added that MT. Lansings S copy undoubtedly was in his hands and that the copy for the press prob ablp was on it's way to this country.
 Planned Strong Austria.
 Tn report to MT. Sisson on the scope of the letter, Captain 1mman- uel Voska. U. s. A., head of the Prague bureau of the committee on public information, said:
 '"F'rom the documents and letters it will be shown that Francis Ferd- inand was working on building up a strong Austria which would eventu- ally emancipate itself from the influ- ence of Berlin.
 This was blocking Berlin's plan for expansion toward the east and the Berlin government came to an under standing with the Budapest govern ment to offset the plans of Francis Ferdinand.
 "From one of the letters it is evil dent that the German emperor's son, Eitel Frederick, was selected to study the Magyar language and to make friends of the Magyar nobility. Although no positive proof was found from the documents on hand as to the conspiracy to kill Arch duke Francis Ferdinand it is suffi- ciently evident that there was no Magyars, as he knew of the conspir- acv between the Berlin and Buda- pose. The Archduke was rather a | friend of Serbia in hatred of the conspiracy in Serbia for that pur- pest governments.

SOUTH AMERICANS ARE
 DEFENDING ON LEAGUE
 TO END SUBSERVIENCE

New York. March 27.-Because they believed the league of nations would free the South American re- publics from the restraints of the Monroe Doctrine," and end their seeming subservience" to the United States, the people of South America were strongly in favor of the pro- posed covenant. Bishop William F. Oldham declared tonight upon his re- turn from Buenos-Aires, as Metho- dist Episcopal administrator for the southern half os the hemisphere.
 Under the league, the bishop said, the South Americans anticipated the advent of Pan-Americanism in it's truest sense-not one nation caring for twenty, but twenty-one caring for each other.' Popular opinion in South America, he asserted, held that the Monroe Doctrine had made the Latin-American nations appear be- fore the rest of the world as "sub- servient to this country"
 The southern republicans, he ad- ded were demanding "the opportunity to stand beside their sister nations on the basis of their unshadow cd independence"
 Citizens of Argentina and Chile which are not represented at the peace conference, Bishop Oldham said, were "sick with dissatisfaction that the governments did not take their places in the war.

They testified that Weisgerber had been of invaluable assistance to the government in fur nishing chemicals to various pran- ches of the army and navy and that they had never observed any unpat- riotic action on his part.
 ; Captains c. l.. Harrod, and Charles IT Ruth. connected with the Photo graphic section of the army, each de- clared that Weisgerber had made ana furnished to their department chem icals which they were unable to op, tain anywhere else.

Conference Will Not Be Re sumed Until Support of
 Government is Secured.

Washington, March 27.-Bitumin- ous coal operators of the country through the national coal association announced tonight that they would not resume conferences with the industrial board of the department of com merce with view to readiusting coal prices until "the cooperation and support of the railroad administra- tion and other government depart ments buying coal had been secured" whenever the board could assure such cooperation, the coal men said, they would be willing to continue the con- ferences which began yesterday.
 The operators, who represent ap- proximately three fourths of the country's bituminous production, af- ter conferring today with the board, adopted a resolution setting forth their attitude and issued state ment charging the railroad admins tration with adoption of "unfair practices which would drive the price of railroad fuel below the cost of production"
 Refuse Comment.
 l Members of the industrial board of which George N Peck, is chairman refused tonight to comment on the conferences with the coal men beyond saying that "only general policies had been discussed" It was understood however, that in the conference, the price fixed by the railroad admins tration and other governmental agen cies for coal was the chief contention 1 The representatives of the coal in dustry told the board that approxi mately thirty percent of the total pro duction of bitinumous coal was con sumed by the railroads of the coun try and accordingly the prices a which the railroad administration bought coal had direct bearing or the prices to the public.
 "Under these circumstances, sai' the statement, issued by the coa association, "the operators conside
