DR.. J. C. BLOODGOOD HERE
Noted Baltimore Surgeon Spoke to
Shawnee Medical Society.


Dr. Joseph c. BIoodgood of Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, Nd, adj
dressed the Shawnee County Medical
society last night on the subject of
bone and breast tumors. His lecture
was illustrated by photographs and
lantern slides and was a comprehen-
sive presentation of the subject. He
especially emphasized the clinical
diagnosis of tumors by the surgeon;
he considers this of equal Importance
with the microscopic diagnosis.
He said that early diagnosis and
operation is still the chief hope of
those afflicted with malignant
growths, altho radium and X-ray
treatments are useful adjuncts. He
especially insisted on the Importance
of any woman over rs years old who
has a lump in the breast seeking a
competent diagnosis Immediately. The
cause of cancer is aN much a mystery
as ever in spite of the worldwide re-
search. Personally he spends over one
third of his rather large professional
income on research work and drives a
flivver in order to have more for it.
Doctor Bloodgood is one of the fore
most authorities of the world on his
subject. He stopped over in Topeka
on his way to Wichita, where he is ITO
deliver lecture on the same subject
at the meeting of the Kansas State
Medical society.

American Newspaper Publish
ers Face Economic Problems.
Annual Convention at New
York Takes Up Questions.
ADJUSTMENTS ARE CERTAIN
Expect Little Trouble With
Labor in Solving Difficulty.
Publishers Have Five-FOId
Campaign on Schedule.

New York, April 26.-The American
Newspaper Publishers association
meeting in annual convention here
tomorrow will be faced by the most
important problems with which it has
been confronted in years.
These include: Wage adjustments
postal rates, taxation, threat of a
strike in the newsprint industry and
maintenance of advertising scales.
The newspaper business, in common
with other industries, has reached a
point where wage adjustments are
vitality necessary as an insurance
against actual loss, it was pointed out
today by some publishers.
Problem for Individuals.
While this is a question which must
be worked out individually by each
publisher. it will receive the benefit at
the convention of the research by the
associations labor bureau. Any Rd-
justments which might be made, it
was said, would be effected only after
friendly conferences with the en-
ployes.
There has been less labor trouble
in the newspaper business than any
similar industry and 1t was declared
to be the intention of the publishers
10 maintain this amicab% relation.
The new postal zone rates on second
class mail, by which the country is
divided into eight zones. become eff
fective July /. 1t was expected that
the association might appeal to con-
Fress to abrogate, or at least readjust
these new rates.
The publishers were expected TO add
their voice to that of every other line
of business in asking repeal of the
burdensome taxation, particularly the
excess profits tax.
Paper Makers Reject New Scale.
The forty-eight locals of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite
and Paper Mills Workers have voted
10 reject the proposals of the manu-
ia cturers for a 80 per cent wage cut.
The workers asked a 10 per cent in
crease. II a strike results when the
present agreements expire between
May and II mopG than $4,000 work
ers and fifty mills will be affected.
The International Paper company
was reported to have Withdrawn all
contracts after May /. Government
reports recently showed fifty days
newsprint supply in the hands of the
publishers or en- route.
Certain advertisers have undertaken
to obtain a revision downward of ad
rates. Publishers here today declared
it would be business suicide to cut
ad rates at this time in the face of
increasing costs"

FARMER WAS TORTURED
Found Unconscious-AssaiI De
manded He Sign Away Property.

Independence, Kan, April 20
George S. Hight, wealthy farmer, to-
day was recovering from injuries sus-
tanned when he was kidnapped,
drugged, strung up and tortured with
electric current in an unsuccessful at
tempt to make him sign away his
property.
Hight was found unconscious in the
road near his home by a posse search
ing for him. He described his cap
tors and tormentors as a two hundred
pound negro and a white man with a
disfigured face, one eye half inch
lower than the other.
Unable to force him to sign trans
fers for his farms, the torturers
dumped their victim in a road and
threatened him with death if he
moved before they were out of sight.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. April 26.--wHEAT-Genera
selling in small lots tended TO weaken
prices today for wheat. On the decline,
however, houses with seaboard connections
became buyers. This purchasing was re-
garded as a sign of export business and
was made the occasion of rallies, tho ap-
parently not of lasting. character. Open
ing prices, which varied from unchanged
figures to 11ac lower with May $1.241a to
S1.25A and July $l.04A to $L05, were fol-
lowed by a moderate general sag before
upturns began.
Subsequently, the market scored gains,
owing more or less to assertions that ex-
port sales in the last As hours had totalled
two million bushels. The close was unset
tied, nc to 1c net higher, with May $1.261a
to $1.26A and July $1o5la to $1.05A.
CORN-Corn paralleled the action of
wheat After opening unchanged to lie
lower, including July at 61Ac to 61Ac,
the market recovered most of its losses
Further report demand counted later as a
stimulus to am advance, part of which,
however, was soon lost. The close was
nervous, nc net lower to &c gain,
with July 6214c to 62A @629sc.
OATS-Oats were governed by the
course of other cereals, starting &c to &c
off, July 3T9sc to 3Ta4c, and then reacting
somewhat.
OVISIONS-Provisions were dull but
firmer in line with hogs.

Wall St., New York, April 2G,-SToCKS-
Gains and losses were impartialy distribut-
ed at the broad but hesitant opening of to-
days stock market but the trend soon be-
came reactionary. United States Steel rose
large fraction at the outset but this was
almost Immediately cancelled.
The European Oils. especially Royal
Dutch and Shell trading, were strong with
Cosden but Mexican Petroleum and General
Asphalt eased a point each. The only note
worthy change among rails was in Atchison,
which fell one point. Exchange on Paris
was strong, demand bills rising to the high
est quotation since last August. presum
ably in connection with the latest German
indemnity negotiations.
Reversals became more extensive during
the first hour because of the increased
pressure against Crucihle Steel U. S. Steel
preferred, Mexican and Pan American Pc
troleum and General Asphalt, in which
losses ranged from to points. This was
offset to degree by the strength of Allan
tic Gulf, common and preferred; Bethlehem
Steel, Chandler, Motors and further gains
by the Dutch Oils. Before noon rallies
were general, Baldwin and the Junior Steel
issues contributing substantially to the re-
covery. The bond market was heavy, how
ever, especially the railway group. Liberty
319's featured the war flotations at the low
price of $3.50. Call money opened at Ga
per cent.
