ARMY GIVES HOSPITAL
TO U. S. HEALTH SERVICE
Fort Bayard Institution Of 1000
Beds Offered for Tubercular
Patients.

The I 900 bed tuberculosis sanato-
rum operated by the army at Fort
'Bayard, N. NJ, has been turned over
to the United States Public Health
Service, and will soon be available
for treating discharged. disabled SOL
diers. Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming
announced today.
The sanatorium is located near Sill
yer City. on the Santa Fe Railroad.
The climate is said to be ideal for
tubercular patients. as 1t permits out
door life during the greater part of
the year
The present sanatorium at Deming,
~ NJ. will be held in reserve, espe-
cially for winter use.
At the Fort Bayard sanatorium the
Public Health Service will treat only
ambulatory cases of tuberculosis in
which the prognosis is favorable. Pa
tients will be admitted only after
careful observation has shown that
their condition is suitable for treat
ment at the high altitude of this san
atorium. This is according to the pol
icy of the health service of treating
patents as close to their homes as
possible. as experience has shown that
removal to a distance is unfavorable.

Hazard said he made frequent Trips
To-. Annapolis. IL was at Annapolis
that Pierson was said To have been
watching a game OF craps two days
before his body was found.
Never Met Pierson, He says
Hazard, however. asserts that he
never met Pierson at Annspolls. he
did not recall having ever seen
man answering the description OF the
Washingtonian.
Hazard declared he intends TO COM
municate with. Governor Htchie' OF
MARYLAND, and Insist that the death
OF Pierson be further Investigated
and that detectives fromS> Baltimore
be sent to the scene and clearrup the
murder mystery.
"Now that my name has been linked
with the death OF Person. and since
| am innocent, / intend to insist that
| be cleared" said Hazard.
Another thing" continued 'Haz-
card. 'lt certainly seems strange
that the police authorities will stop
investigating the killing OF citizen.
| understand Pierson has no rela-
tives and but few friends. Just be-
cause he was alone in the world Is no
reason he should be killed and no
one be brought to the bar OF justice
for staying him"
Not Questioned by Police.
Hazard said that while he owned
white painted boat similar to the
one described as the craft seen in
the Chesapeake bay by fishermen on
the morning that Persons body was
found. none of the police authorities
| OF Washington, Anne Arundel or cal
vert counties had questioned him re-
gardins the killing.
They say my brother disappeared"
| said Hazard. He never has disap-
peared He has been at home every
Eday since he was last seen at Chesa'
peake Beach. He. too. has heard OF
my name being connected with the
| killing But we know nothing about
the death OF Pierson."
| 1t was the police theory that Pier
| son either boarded craft at Wash
ington or AnaL~-.s, and was slain
during a quarrel. That robbery was
not the motive for the killing is evil
dent by the fact that some money
] and jewelry were found in mis- pock
cts.
Disappeared May 5.
Pierson disappeared on May 5, after
| he lad been sent to a local bank with
some cash and checks by Professor
| Allen. He made the deposits in the
bank. but mailed the bank book to
Allen. That was the last seen Of him
by Allen until his body was found
floating near shore at Chesapeake
Beach.
| According to Professor Allen. Pier
son had frequently threatened suicide
and on one occasion tried TO end his
life by hanging. He wrote a note to
a friend that he would be dead when
the letter was received. However,
Persons dangling body was cut down
| and he recovered. He then telephored
his friend. asking that no attention
| be paid to the suicide note.

THE LONDON POLICE DOC

From the London Mail.
 The present wave of crime has given an impetus in Great Britain to the training of dogs for police purposes.
 Police dogs were used to assist in bringing the breaker of laws to justice tefore the word police was ever known. In older days bloodhounds were used on the borders of Scotland in certain districts infested by murderers and rob- oers, and tax was laid on the inhab- itants for maintaining them also there was a law in Scotland that whoever de- nied entrance to one of these dogs should be treated as an accessory to the crime.
 The training of these dogs calls for large amount of patience, intelligence and resource, far removed from the old idea of dog breaking, which was usual- ly to beat the animal mercilessly into the observance of'a few set rules
 It is step by step in his daily lessons that dog gradually becomes a tracker of criminals by their scent, pursues es- caping prisoners. discovers missing peo- ple, or finds suspected ones in conceal ment.
 He learns fearlessly to seize and pull down any aggressor, whether his mas ter or himself be attacked. and to do it with the least possible damage, teasing at once when the enemy gives in.
 The popular conception of the police dog is wild, savage brute. which prob ably accounts for the antipathy to his use displayed in some quarters, and it is well that the public should realize that the properly trained dog Is at all times perfectly under control.

PROHIBITION NEWSPAPERS

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 following his election to the minority leadership of the Senate, newspapers throughout the country carried editorial comments upon MT. Underwood all of which that we have seen having been highly laudatory of the senator from Ala. bama. Many of these editorials have been reproduced by the Advertiser.
 In connection with these comments by newspapers in other states than Alabama we have been impressed with one thing in particular, and that is that regardless of party affiliations, regardless of their position on the question of prohipf,.o,., these newspapers have spoken most agreeably of the Alabamian.
 The New York Tribune, the Spring held Republican. the Nashville Banner. the Atlanta Constitution and the Houston Post are among the conspicuous news paper advocates of the policy of prohibi- ton. Each of these newspapers has lauded the election of MT. Underwood as minority leader. Each of them has spoken of him in the highest terms. Not
 that NIT. Underwood was the Header of the liquor interests" in Congress; neither of them suggested that Hitchcock retired in onderwood's favor as result of a
 frame-up" between these willy politi- clans; 1t has occurred to neither of them to make slurring remarks about the Ala nama senator in connection with his rec ord on the prohibition question.
 in ,1xr l-l newspapers seeking to belittle the prestige Of Underwood in Congress, seeking to dy- credit him because of his past record on prohibition And only a small coterie Of Alabama papers are doing this It is bit singular that the leading proh,- bition dailies of America have over looked this opportunity to assail MT. Un- derwood. an opportunity which the few Musgrove papers there are in Alabama have created for their sDecial uses

'. anu Verigin, Saskatchewan. are centers or little community of oppressed Douk- bohor immigrants who twenty-five wears ago fled from Cossack persecu- tion and from Czar Nicholas the Third imnosition of universal military rule. They went first to Cyprus Later through the intervention and financial assistance of the Society of Friends, as well as of Count Tolstoy, whose Re surrection" was written to help de1ray the expenses of their long journey overseas. they were enabled to go to 0ore distant British territory-Canada. In the shadows of the arched ooor- ways which form the entrance to the twin houses where several families maintain cooperative households, the little barefoot children work or play 1
 erhood there is no wearying routine oA labor. for each takes turn and lenas a helping hand at the menial tasks' Speaking only Russian, marrying only among themselves, tiling the soil with out wages and turning all profits into the common treasury, these s,ooo or more exiles worship God in the spirit ard teach their children to live the gos- pel spirit of love. On their Far Wes- tern Russian Canadian farms compln- ing modern mechanical improvements and primitive methods, these single minded peasants cultivate their gram and retain and perpetuate the art or "rulling" flax. They never scythe the long fiber. for they want to save it's length. Driven to the fields only py
 their own desire to serve their com munity they sometimes work from in the morning to at night.
 At Dusk, when their tasks are end ed. they gather in small groups and their Gregorian chants roll through the valley like glorious litany to the joys of labor and to the soil. One week the stupdy mother of the village" gath CTS the ripening grain; another, she is the master cook. Love of animals has made her people vegetarians, who hold that it is sinful to take life of any sort; hence their objection to military service. And so Anastasia, or Marya, or Paula, with linen handmade plotok, or kerchief on her head to form simple frame for the rare beauty of an hon. est, noble face, makes pancakes from flour of the grain she has helped to gather, and serves them with straw berry jam and Russian tea. Still an- other week she is found kneeling be- side the large stones retting flax at the waters edge.
