Doctors Used Splints in
Dark Ages, Museum Finds
Remains of Indian Princess.
Uneartl,ed in New Mexico,
Show Bone Setting

When the surgeon binds splint to
your fractured arm or leg, or applies a
mechanical support to crushed or
broken bones composing any part of
the human frame, he is practicing a
relief measure which preceded his own
civilization.
That surgeons of the lost civiliza ton
bound splints on their patients just as
do modern bone doctors, but perhaps
with less skill, is proved by the un-
earthing Of the remains of an Indian
princess in the Pueblo ruin at Aztec.
N. NJ, according to an announcement
made at the American Museum of
Natural History.
Earl H. Morris, of the museum, who
is in charge of the excavation reports
that the body shows a fractured pelvjs,
a broken arm and other bone disloca-
tions. The work of the primitive sur
geon, his splnts and binding, are still
intact. at least six splints were bound
skilfully to the fractured arm. 1t is
evident, however, that the pclvis frac-
ture was a trifle beyond the skill of
the surgeon, and that, with other in
juries, caused death. The princess had
undoubtedly suffered terrible injury,
possibly by a long fall from cliff.
The royal remains were found
wrapped in an inside shroud of Won
derfully woven cotton cloth, next a
mantle CT featheA cloth, and all in
closed in a mat of plated rushes.

Niece Begins Fight
For Million Dollar
Estate of Mrs. Cole
Woman, Who Left Bulk of
Fortune to Physician, Said
to Have Been Incompetent
and Unduly Influenced

Mrs. Ella l.. Riley, of Chicago, began
a contest in the Surrogates' Court yes
terday of the will. of her aunt, Mrs.
Margaret C. Cole, who died May IA
last leaving an estate said to be valued
at $1,250,000. The greater portion was
bequeathed to her physician, DR.. Free
man Ford Ward, of 616 Madison Ave-
nue.. Surrogate Cohalan appointed
Cornelius j. Sullivan temporary ad-
ministrator of the estate during the
tendency of the contest.
her aunt was mentally incompetent
when she executed the will and that
for twelve years before her death she
was a paralytic as aresut of injuries
received in hotel elevator accident.
Mrs. Riley also alleges that Mrs. Cole,
who was fifty-four years old at the
time she died, was unduly influenced.
In the contested document Mrs. Cole
left $1,000 each to several relatives
and an income from $4,000 to an
other, giving the residue of her estate
to DR.. Ward, with the exception of her
valuable collection of diamonds, which
the testatrix bequeathed to the wife OF
the physician. Mrs. Riley says DR..
Ward was very indulgent physician
in treating Mrs. Cole, who, according
w iva AiS%C3 DSSdulc infatuated with
him.
For long time Mrs. Riley and two
nurses looked after the comfort of
Mrs. Cole, who, it is said, became OBJ
sessed with the belief that they were
mistreating her. In this DR.. Ward en-
couraged the patient, according to Mrs.
Riley, telling the patient: THAT is
right. ! am your only friend. You
must. tell me everything that hap
pens"
The physician admitted receiving
money at the rate of $4,000 year for
has services to Mrs. Cole. Mrs Riley
once prepared a statement of her
aunt's finances, which showed her
property had value of s1,loO,00o, her
collection of diamonds and other
Jewels being estimated at 100000.
In the presence of DR.. Ward the
niece showed that statement to Mrs.
Cole. At first she seemed pleased with
1T. Then her demeanor changed.
Damn you" Mrs. Cole is quoted as
saying, "why are you figuring out how
much money I've got? l suppose you
are figuring to get it,"

Despite Importation of German and

which have declined to about II cents
a pound with occasional futures
quoted at 10 cents.
For variously assigned reasons, GER

US. Hats Widows Romance
immigration Officials Refuse to
Admit Woman 10 Marry

Mrs. Johanna Hendwill, Dutch
widow, who came here several weeks
ago on the Holland-America liner
Noordam to be married to Jacobus
Mems, a naturalized American farmer
of Indiana, was ordered excluded YES
terday by board of special inquiry.
This is the second time the woman has
been ordered deported. When she first
was brought before the board she de-
MED that she had come here to marry
Noens.
Later she made an appeal and at the
rehearing yesterday said that she had
come here to marry him and at the
conclusion of her testimony she was
again ordered excluded She said she
had been induced to deny the truth of
her intentions. because she understood
her chances of being admitted to the
country would be better if she denied
she had come here to be married. This
unwise advice was given to her, she
said, by fellow traveller.
Noens, who had come from Indiana
to marry the widow, said if she was
deported he would marry her in Hol-
land and bring her back to his home
in Indiana

Bronx Fights $I.75 Gas
Supreme Court Hears Argr,-

The efforts of the Bronx Gas and
Electrical Company to assess it's Gus
toners S1.75 thousand cubic feet OF
gas, an advance of 25 cents over the
last raise, were reviewed in the Bronx
Supreme Court yesterday.
Justice Richard II. Mitchell heard
the contention of attorneys represent
ing the Public Service Commission that
the increase is excessive and ex-
orbitant," as against the company's
claim that it is entirely reasonable.
He gave the former ten days to file
briefs and the latter twelve days.
The controversy revolved specifically
about the company's alleged right to
charge the city the same rate as it
charges tie public. When the rate was
81 thoTsand, the city was given a
special reduction of 25 cents. When
the rate was advanced to S150 the
company established a uniform rate
for both the public and the city. The
city is turning its bills back to the
company and the legal controversy
follows.
