cial.) DIR. ]. H. Buckles, a Kansas
side physician, making mistake in
drugs, caused the death of his wife,
Mrs. Eva G. Buckles, 43 years old,
at the family home, 1880 South
Twenty-third street.
Confusion of medical terms,
whereby barium chloride, a deadly
poison, was substituted for barium
sulphate, harmless drug. used in
preparing a patient for an Xray
picture, brought death to the wife.
She was believed to be suffering
from cancer of the stomach.
Consulted Another Physician.
DR.. Buckles consulted with DR..
w. A. Myers, 1906 Euclid avenue,
this city, on the advisability of an
X-ray picture being taken. DR..
Myers says he directed the husband
to purchase some barium sulphate
and give it to his wife in buttermilk
six hours before the photograph
was to be taken.
Il did not think it necessary to
give prescription to DR.. Buckles,
as he was a physician" said DR..
Myers.
Instead of purchasing the drug
that day, DR.. Buckles waited day
before going to a Kansas City
drug house.
Il am not positive what L asked
for, chloride or sulphate," he said
after his wife's death. But I re-
ceived chloride"
Wife Said Taste Was Different.
Previously he had given his wife
some of the sulphate. She spoke
of the difference in taste when he
administered the chloride, mixed,
one-half ounce in 16 ounces of but
termilk.
This medicine does not taste like
the. other" DR.. Buckles says she
told him. He tasted it and agreed.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. Buckles be-
came violently i'll.
DR.. Buckles telephoned DR.. Myers
and asked him what drug it was he
had told him to get for his wife.
"Barium sulphate," DR.. Myers
says he replied.

rang off.

Washington, June 8.-Nicaragua
has asked the United States to land
forces there to cope with a threat
cned invasion from Costa Rica. The
state department is investigating the
situation.
The Nicaraguan legation here in a
statement today declares that follow
ing the collapse of the revolution in
Costa Rica, President Tinoco has
massed large forces on the frontier
Tinoco, whose brother, as minister
of war, is at the head of the Costa
Rican army in the field, has charged
that the Nicaraguans aided the rev.
olutionists. The Nicaraguans have
denied the charge and cited that it
was the liberal party in Nicaragua,
members of the old Zelaya regime,
that went over to Tinoco.
Legation Issues Statement.
This is the Nicaranguan legation S
statement:
Notwithstanding that the revolu-
ton in Costa Rica, which started
about one month ago, has come to

tionists who crossed the Nicaraguan
border were disarmed by the from

Nicaragua has maintained strict neu-

revolutionists, General Tinoco has
been massing a big army on the
frontier of Nicaragua with large
trains of ammunition and supplies
of all kinds. 1t is known that he

posed to the present government OF
General CharnOrrO.
Reconstruction Period.
Nicaragua, in accord with the
financial plan suggested by the
United States government, is on
her reconstruction period after II
years of the Zelaya regime. 1t has
adopted a strictly economic budget,
by which the government can have
under arms only 500 men and has
