DIR. Ward Liable for
Fraud Upon Patient;
Must Repay 500 Fee
JusticeMarks DecidesAgainst
S'Electro.Scientist,' Who
Took Mans Money After
Promise of Cure in Month

Francis r. Ward, director 'of the So
called Electro Medical Scientists" :"
with offices at Pierrepont Street,
Brooklyn, and 2So West Seventy-second
Street, Manhattan, was held liable yes
terday by Justice Marks, in the Sixth
District Municipal Court, in an action
for fraud and deceit brought by Julius
B. Grond, a former patient. This is
the same Ward who seeks half mill
ion dollars damages against The Trib-
une because, his complaint in his libel
suit alleges, The Tribune published, in
April, a series of articles charging him
with quackery, false advertising and
profteering.
Grond alleged the fraud and deceit
consisted Of representations that Ward
would cure him of malady within one
month, on the strength of which he
paid $100, (which representations were
untrue and known to be untrue by the
defendant" Grond gave testimony in
support of those allegations at the

Gov. Smith Would
Give NONRESIDENT
Exemption ON Tax
Tells New Jersey Governor
That Next Legislature Can
Remedy the Income Act
to Prevent Any Injustice

Specid! Correspondence
ALBANY, June 18.-The failure to
allow non-residents earning their in
comes in this state the same exemption
as residents should be corrected in the
new income tax law at the next session
of the Legislature, Governor Smith said
to-day in letter to Governor Runvon
OF New Jersey. He thought this would
be done before the first payment of the
tax next March. Governor Runyon
had wired Governor Smith protesting
against what he called the discrimina-
tory provisions in the income tax law
and saying New Jersey people were al
ready urging decisive retaliatory ac
tlon. He asked for action at the extra
session.
Governor Smiths reply said:
There seem to me to be one pos
sible injustice and one error in the
provisions of the New York income tax
acts applied to esidents. Provi
sion should be made for the $1,000 and
$4,000 exemptions to apply to non-resi-
dents, provided an equal exemption is
not granted in the place of their resi-
dence. BY inadvcrtence also, the with
holding agent in the case of the non
resident is required, unless the non
resident pays his tax directly, to de-
duct per cent in the case of incomes
under $4,000, whereas the tax under
another section of the bill is fixed Mt
l per cent for incomes under $4,000.
This error in the bill, as we'll as the
possible injustice above mentioned, can
be corrected, and should be corrected,
I think, at the beginning of the next
legislative session In January, two
months before the first tax must be
paid.
eve have sought in the provisions
to make the act both friendly and re-
ciprocal. The act provides that non
residents shall have rtbated to them
any tax on New York income which
may be imposed by the state of the tax
payers residence, providing the home
state of the taxpayer treats New York
ers in substantially similar way"

hearing. DR.. Ward and one of his
physicians testified for the defence, de-
nying generally the charges. the for
mer admitting that he rarely treats
patients personally, although his name
appears prominently as medical
director in the Scientists adver-
tlsements in several New York and
Brooklyn newspapers, which we're re-
plete with references to positive
diagnoses" remarkable efficacy of
electro medical methods" and "treat-
ment of chronic diseases"
Justice Marks announced his de-
cision in favor Of Mr.. Grond from the
bench Immediately at the close of the
hearing. Judgment was awarded for
$500 and costs.
Charles, A. Oberwsger, Of 233 Broad
way, who represented Grond, said the
victory was complete, and, in the
nature Of test case, established the
principle that money paid in such cir
cumstances can be recovered under the
law in this state. Wards attorneys
were Richie G. Moxley, 68 William
Street, the same lawyers who brought
his libel suit against The Tribune, in
which he complains specifically of such
statements as CDR. Ward, called quack,
thrives here. Physician who quit Chi
cago when associates were indicted

Gas RecOmmendeda as
Sporific for Mexico
NeW York Tribune
W1shin 1tOu Bureau

w HSHtRTtOn bureau
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Gas as a
means of Tightening the white mans
burden was advocated before the Sem
ate Military Affairs Committee to-day
by Lieutenant Colonel Amos Fries
while urging that the Bureau of Chem
ical Warfare be retained as a perma-
nent Independent bureau and not
merged in the Engineer Corps.
II would remind you," he said, "that
If the United tSates is going to have
any more of these cleanup jobs like
the Philippines, Cuoa, Hayti, Santo
Domingo and Mexico, the use of gas
would simplify the yob and make it
easier. With it you can pacify with
out killing. Use teak gas and you put
the enemy into such condition that
you can take them as you please, With
out casualties on either side. 1t is
the humane way Then, if the situa-
tion demands you can use something
stronger. If we HAD had gas in the
Moro campaign in the Philippines the
stronghold of the Sultan Of Jolo could
have been taken without loss of life
on either side. These backward peo..
pies know nothing about chemical war
fare"
General William L. Sibert, chief Of
the Chemical Warfare Service, strong
ly supported Colonel Fries's testimony
Assistant Secretary of War Keppel
explained to the committee the depart
ment's plan for taking over all welfare
work in the army in connection with
educational work, and urged that the
full $S,OOO,00O asked for this purpose
be allowed. 1t was not proposed, he
said, to eliminate the outside work of
auxiliary agencies like the Y. NJ. c..
A., but to have the army exclusively
control all such work within military
camps and reservations.

Although the final returns are not in,
due to the difficulty of making tabula-
tons, it was predicted that hopes for a
successful campaign would be more
than realized.
William G. McAdoo, chairman of the
Citizens National Committee of the
Boy Scouts Campaign, said last night:
"1n all of it's essentials the Boy
Scout campaign has been a great sue
cess. We are confident that the 1,OOO,-
600 associate members we set out to
secure have been obtained, but it is
impossible at the moment to give fig
ures because the returns from the
country have not been received Some
communities report large over-sub-
scriptions. Full returns have not
been received from the Ave boroughs
