TUBERCULOSIS CURE IS
HERALDED IN ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Dec. 81
What appears to be a cure for tuber-
culosis has been discovered by DR..
James Holderness, of this city, and
several tests made by DR.. Asa Brun-
son, formerly of the United States
medical corps have proven very sue
cessful. Dr. Holderness although not
a practicing physician, is a graduate
of prominent medical college and
he has been working on a cure that
his father began to experiment with
some years ago.
The remedy devised by Mr. Holder
ness produces a gas in the patient
which is deadly to the germs. but not
to the lungs and in a very short
time after the treatments are begun
the patient is free from fever and
begins to increase in weight.
Albert Collier, a we'll known young
man of Pine Bluff, has returned from
San Angelo Tex, where he had been
chasing a cure, weighing 119 pounds,
and after taking treatment 26 days
has increased in weight to 1856 pounds
and had no fever after the first few
treatments, although he had temper
ature all the time he was in the West.

SECRETARY WILSON
EXPLAINS ACTION
Deportation of Martens a
Blow at Destroyer of Gov
eminent, He Declares.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.--So long
as the Russian soviet government
seeks to stir up instruction against
the government of the United states
its members resident here will be
subject TO deportation, Secretary OF
Labor Wilsch said in letter made
pubIic to, Charles Recht, counsel Tor
Ludwig C. A. X. Martens, soviet
agent in the United States, now I'M
der sentence of deportation.
While the secretary expressed the
continued friendship of the United
States government for the Russian
people, he said, that the evidence
was cumulative and conclusive that
the military dictatorship OF Russia
calling itself the soviet government
was appropriating large sums or
money to stir up instruction by
force of arms against the United
States government" 1t was this
which made Martens, member OF
the soviet government, liable to dep
ortation, he added.
The letter was in reply to one
from Recht relative to the deporta-
ton of Martens to Russia and for
which it had previously been an
nounced that the soviet agent on Jan.
D WOulu lOIllldhy sun SitNSA ANS
to the United states authorities. In
his answer, Secretary Wilson said
that he had authorized the compile
ton of arrangements for the de-
parture of Martens "and the other
persons he desires to go with him."
Secretary Wilson in his letter
branded as mnsulting" and as re-
flecting the brutal materialistic
conceptions of the dominant group in
Russia" intimations said to have
been contained in Rechts communi-
cation to the effect that profitable
trade with Russia was so important
in the American mind as to permit
"our institutions to be undermined
and destroyed and our liberties sub
merged If we can have but access
to that trade"
In dealing with the question Of the
deportation of aliens, the secretary
said the department of labor was not
concerned with the form of govern
ment adopted by, or imposed upon
the people of Russia, except insofar
as our sympathies go out to those
who are oppressed"

ALBANIAN SAVED
FROM EXECUTION
Kilby Regards Death Sen
tence for Slayer Too Severe
on Evidence.
(Ry Internatio1al News serviee.)

(By international News Serviee.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 3D.
Gov. Kilby today commuted to life
Imprisonment in the penitentiary the
death sentence of Charlie Wimberly,
who was to have died on the gallows
at Birmingham today.
The governor gave as his reason
for the Communication the fact that
he had heard WimberIy's attorney
and one of the attorneys employed
by Wimberly's friends and one who
prosecuted the case. This attorney,
Capt. Matt H. Murphy. joins the at
ton for the Communication, basing his
request on the belief that the SEN
tence of the jury was too severe"
said Gov. Kilby.
in committing the sentence the
governor said
IL have carefully read the evil
dence in the case in which is state
ment by the defendant to the effect
that the deceased threatened the life
of the defendant. Wimberly swore
that the deceased had written him u
letter putting him on notice that he
intended TO kill him at any time. The
letter was not produced 81 the trial.
1t has since been found and pre-
scented along with the petition of
Wimberly for Communication of his
sentence. l am satisfied from the
evidence presented that the letter is
genuine and believe that if the jury
had had the evidence of Wimberly
corroborated by the letter capital
punishment would not have been in
flicted."
Wimberly was convicted June 8,
1919, for the murder of John Jack
son.

MESSENGERS SENT
FOR POLL BOOKS
Of FIVE COUNTIES
Stormy Session PreCedeS
Order of Governor for Men
to Bring in Missing Lists
and Investigate Delay.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dec. Sl.-Gov.
Roberts sent out five special messen-
gers 10 Bedford. Maury, Perry, Roane
and Union counties 10 bring in the
original poll books used in the No
vemher election. These counties, IN
addition to Davidson, have failed to
comply with the recent order of the
state canvassing board through the
attorney TO send in the books.
Before the special messengers were
authorized. the members of the can
wasting board, consisting of the gov
ernor, attorney general and secre-
tary of state, had held rather
stormy session. The canVasstng
board heard that the pol books in
Davidson county had been burned
and that there could he no compari-
son with these and the returns certi-
fled returned to the secretary OF
state by the election commissioners.
When a member of the board asked
who had reported that the Davidson
poll books had been burned nobody
seemed willing to stand back OF the
statement.
George n. WEIGH, candidate for re-
election to the state railroad and
public utilities commission, who was
defeated on the face of the unofficial
returns by 1929 votes by Julian
Campbell. OF Lebanon, Republican
was represented at the meeting by
X. T. McConicu, while Mr., Campbell
was present in person and with his
attorney, j. s. Beasley.
The meeting was featured by sew
eral Tits, one of which was between
Gov. Roberts and Mr.. Campbell, the
latter contending that inasmuch as
all the poll books from over the state
were not in and those which we're
in had not been sent under seal, that
none of the poll books should be con-
sidered. Gov, Roberts commended
that the poll books should be consid>
cred and where there was an appar-
cnt clerical error 1t should be correct
ed where IT was shown that there had
been no tampering with the poll
books.
Following the session at which
these matters were discussed at some
length and with more or less heat.
the canvassing board decided to be-
gin work at once upon checking the
returns. This work began with State
Auditor S. p. Anderson and Assist
ant Harris Puryear making the tabu-
lation. In the meantime the special
messengers sent out BY the governor
to the five counties from which the
poll books had not been received were
ordered to make full Investigations
and report. An investigation will be
made also into the rumor that the
Davidson county poll books were
burned.
The check will be made of those
counties which have sent in poll
books and 1t is the intention of the
board TO make comparisons where
the poll books were received in COM
pliance with the law these COMPARE
sons to be made with the return
sheets as sworn to by the election
commissioners Of the various coun-
ties.
Secretary Of State Ike B, Stevens
said that there had been no charge
Of fraud by any candidate.

Of Interest TO Women
ETIQUETTE AND THE CHILD

be sure. there are cases where one
has to have ones children under feet,
especially if they are little and might
, get into difficulties if allowed to re.
main alone. But if they are old
enough to be left in a room alone. re-
member that it is the well bred thing
not to let them intrude on callers.
Not only is it sometimes source or
annoyance to the caller, but it surely
can do the child no good. If the
child interrupts and joins in the con-
versation he is a nuisance. and usually
the price of keeping him as quiet as
he should be is paid by the constant
repetition of the words Don't inter-
rupt' or "Do be still" The conversa-
ton of grown-ups cannot be edifying
or interesting to the active, play-lov-
ing child. He gains nothing by it. and
is quite apt to develop an unwhole-
some taste for grown-up conversation
when he might much better be play
ing with other children or with his
own toys.
Children should not be taken to a
church service, save that especially
designed for them, until they are old
enough or well enough trained to be
pretty sure to rerain quiet and unob-
trusive throughout. 1t is a mistake
when the funeral is that of a near
relative children under ten or twelve
ought not to appear.
1t is also. in this country, considered
in bad form for children under four
teen or fifteen to wear mourning of
any sort. although little French chill
dren of good families are decked out
in the most somber mourning when
they are scarcely able to toddle about
