JOHNSON IS GOING
BACK WEST TONIGHT
Leaves After Brooklyn Meeting.
Engagements for Tomorrow
and Saturday Cancelled.

NEW YORK, April Appeals
from Michigan that he hasten there
and give at least two more days to
his primary campaign, induced sena-
tor Hiram Johnson to decide TO re-
turn to that State tonight.
This means canceling the Greater
New York meetings scheduled for to-
morrow and Saturday nights and the
substitution OF gatherings at Detroit,
Kalamazoo. and other Michigan cities.
IT was with deep regret that sena-
tor johnson determined to abandon
his New York schedule. Al JOY, his
personal representative. said:
"The Michigan Republicans begged
the Senator to eliminate his New York
trip entirely and devote himself to
Michigan until next Monday, primary
day, TO that State. They assured him
that II he would do so he would sweep
IL.
Senator Johnson had long ago
planned his New York tour. He
has devoted the better part Of the
week to It,, and has been received
with as much tumultuous acclaim as
was the late Colonel Roosevelt.
For five days we have been inun-
dated with prayers for his return to
Michigan. II was finally decided that
with the Brooklyn Academy of Music
meeting tonight the Senator's New
York engagements shall cease. We
are confident OF electing many dele
gates from New York.
"The Senator's return to Michigan
will. we believe, make the State GER
tain for him."

A cold is simply an infamma-
ton of some part of the air pas
sages-throat, larynx or bronchial
tubes-just like a sore is an in
flammation of the skin. A long
continued cold means constant
inflammation and this constant
inflammation frequently weakens
the air passages so that they
become an easy point of attack
for invading germs of more serious
diseases. A cold that hangs on, I"
therefore, is simply natures red
flag" indicating that there is
trouble below" and this warning
should never be neglected.
Nightly applications of Vick's
VapoRub will aid nature to clear
up that inflammation. Because
Vicks acts locally by stimulation
thru the skin to draw out the

given at the inquest to warrant the
arrest of the other inmate who held

ing assaulted Conway, declaring he
fell from his bed.
After Conwsy's body had been re-
moved to the District morgue, DR..
w. Browne Carr, deputy coroner. per-
formed an autopsy which resulted in
the discovery that the insane patient
suffered seven broken ribs on his
right side and two on his left side.
1t also was discovered that his hip
had been dislocated.
Upon questioning the blind patient,
who, while not under arrest, is sus-
pected of knowing more about the
death OF Conway than he has told,
it was learned that the dead man
for weeks had disturbed the sleep of
other patients in the ward. This
angered many of them.
Patient Disappears.
Layton D. Pierce, twenty-five years
old, another former patient at the hos
pital. disappeared yesterday. The
police say. however. that they do not
believe he had any connection with
the assault which brought about
Conway's death.
| Because of his condition, Conway
could not leave his bed. II was a few
minutes after 0 o'clock Sunday morn,
| ing that he was found slain. A shor
time later Coroner Nevitt was notified
and at first 1t was believed Conway
had met death through q fall from

now secuted.
While Coroner hewitt had been no.
titled OF the sudden death Of Conway,
no word had been received of the
murder by the police until this morn
ing and the wheels OF the department
were Immediately put in motion to
clear up the identity OF Conway's as
sailant. All OF the patients of the
ward where Conway is a patient are
insane, and IL was said at the hos
pital are not responsible for their
actions.
Because Of lack OF help the hos

ton, the medicinal ingredients
of Vicks are vaporized by the
body heat. These vapors are
breathed in all night long, thus
bringing the medication to bear
directly upon the inhamed areas.
Vicks should be rubbed in over
the throat and chest until the
skin is red-then spread on
thickly and covered with hot

bed clothes arranged in the form
of a funnel SO the vapors arising
may be freely inhaled. If the
