Charles F. Rattigan, Superintendent of
Prisons, he got In touch with surgeons
and brain specialists in New York, lay
ing the case of I'eondowski before
them. There was no money in it, he
told the surgeons, and perhaps no
fame, but there was chance Of re-
deeming human being.
The doctors to whom he talked, after
examining the X-ray photographs,
agreed with the doctors at the Danne-
mora Hospital that an operation might
restore Leondowskis reason, and per-
haps his sense Of moral values. They
told Superintendent Rattigan that they
were at his service.
The Superintendent of Prisons at
once ordered Leondowski transferred
to Sing Sing, the prison closest to New
York City, for the convenience of the
surgeons who are to perform the oper-
alton. Leondowski left Dannemora to-
night The prison hospital has been
prepared for the operation, and if
Lcondowski's condition is favorable the
operation may be performed Wednes-
day. If it is successful he will be a
free man, his prison sentence having

Bullets To Be Cut From Skull
To Cure Mans Criminal Mania

OSSINING, N. Y, March 27.-Roman
Leondowski, a patient in the Dame
mora State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane, is on his way to Sing Sing
prison, where an effort will be made to
cure him of his mania and his criminal
tendencies by surgical operation.
Originally he was sent to Sing Sing
from New York City, where he had been
convicted of assault. He was surly,
unreliable prisoner and was transferred
to Clinton prison at Dannemora, the
recalcitrants' sanatorium. There it was
discovered that he was subject to spells
of mental depression and he was trans
ferred to the hospital
His prison term has expired, but as
no improvement has been discovered in
his mental disorder he was not dis
charged from the hospital. An X-ray
picture disclosed recently that Leon
dowski had two bullets in his skull.
Physicians said that if they were re-
moved his brain might become normal
and not only his mental disease but his
moral crooknedness might vanish.

Woman's Court Record Dis
closes l 1903 Cases in 1920
as Against 2,3l3 in 1919,
Says the Committee of Ia

Professional immortality is on the
decline in New York City If Woman's
Court records are to he taken as cri-
terion, according to the report of the
Committee of Fourteen for the year
1920, which was made public yesterday.
The report tabulates only 1908 cases
for last year as against 2,313 in 1919.
There were 5365 cases in 1911. The
decrease from that year has been con-
sistent, save in 1914, 1915 and 1918,
each of which showed slight increase
over their respective preceding years.
Tho report, which covers ffty-two
pages, comments as follows on the ease
with which rooms in respectable hotels
can be secured for immoral purposes:
"While few hotels knowingly permit
the use of their rooms for immoral
purposes, there are still many hotels
where persons can secure acc commoda-
tions for this purpose. 1t is recon-
mended that hotels be licensed"
The report continues, in part:
"Old offenders are not so much in
evidence in the Woman's Court as are
young girls caught for the first time,
and the taxicab is running the hotel
close second as q place where immo-
lality is carried on.
The large number convicted each
year in the court for the first time, In
dicating a continual influx of young
girls into the life of prostitution, con-
stitutes most serious problem.
"With the general repression of the
assignation hotels in the early months
Of the war, as the result of the activity
of the police and the cooperation with
them of the brewers, who supplied
those hotels with beer, the prostitute
and her customer found difficulty in Sc

did not seem probable that immoral
use might be made of his conveyance
without the knowledge of the driver,
convictions were difficult to secure.
Subdivision 2 of Section S87 was amend
ed in 1919 to make the convictions of
such drivers less difficult. Evidence of
knowledge sufficient for conviction,
however, is still difficult to secure.
Nevertheless, the police have extended
their activities to the prostitutes who

Lawyers Deny Publishing Evidence


This intimation has been Indignantly
denied by De Lancey Nicoll, Of counsel
for Mr.. Stillman, and yesterday John
+. Brennan, of counsel for Mrs. Still
man, explained that he did not think
lawyers for either side had anything
to do with its publication.
I'VE do not know how 1t got out"
said Mr.. Brennan, "and 1t was so
grossly unfair that / do not believe
that either Mr.. Nicoll or Mr., Sullivan
(Mr. 'Stillman's attorneys) had any
thing to do with it. think the person
who first published it did wrong.
think it was entirely improper to give
out any part of it." I
The rumor that Mr.. Stillman in
tended to renew his offer to resign as
president of the National City Bank
gave as reason the fact that all of
the directors were not present at the
last meeting, when his resignation was
refused. 1t was said that he desired ia
have as many directors as possible
pass on the question.
One rumor current yesterday was
denied. That was that Anne Stillman
was passing her Easter holidays with
her mother in Lakewood, N. j. Mrs
Stiliman's nurse said that the young
woman was passing the holidays in
school at Westover. Mrs. Stillman'a
eldest son, James, is visiting his
mother for ten days. It was denied
also that Miss Stillman had taken an
apartment at 910 Fifth Avenue, where
Mrs. Stillman has decided to make her
home.

Eighteen years ago Miss Olivia Buck
ner was one of the bellies of the Blue
Grass State. She had inherited some
money from her grandfather, William
Buckner, descendant of Governors and
other noted men. To all suitors she
turned a deaf ear. In Japan lived
young Minakuchi. His parents were
wealthy and of noble birth. They had
embraced Christianity and had decided
to have their son educated in religious
institution in America, that he might
be able some day to return as a mis-
sionary to his native land and teach his
own people. Fate decreed that he
should enter college in Lexington.
One Sunday in May, 1908, Minakuchi
received an invitation to deliver a SER
mon at church in Bourbon County.
educated Japanese drew an enormous
crowd, among them Mrs. Rosa Buckner
and her daughter, Olivia. Mrs. Buckner
entertained theminister.
When Minakucil met Miss Buckner
he at once proposed to her. He was ac-
cepted, and on July 9, 1908, against the
advice of her relatives, they were mar
ri,d. The union proved unhappy, and
an application for divorce was filed six
years ago by Mrs. Minakuchi. She al
legged cruel and inhuman treatment.
Later she withdrew her action.
Conditions did not improve thereafter
and few weeks ago another applica-
tion for divorce was filed. The plaintiff
said that at the time of her marriage
she had an estate valued at $4,000;
that the defendant soon got possession
of her personally and induced her to
sell her real estate and spend her en-
tire fortune, and that during the Last
support of herself and her child, and
has also contributed to the support Of

tive Tuesday and Holiday
Travel Pleased.
RAILROAD COMMISSION
is RESPONSIBLE FOR CUT
Heretofore Tax Has Been AS
sessed in Addition to Regular
Fare But the Proceeds Went
to Railroad Lines. and Not to
Pullman Company.

Brunswickians were delighted AT
the ruling of the Georgia Railroad
Commission when the announcement
was made that Pullman sur-tax would
be discontinued after last Tuesday
and the feeling of genuine satisfac
tion was general all over, the entire
state. reports received indicate.
1t should be borne in mind that the
sur-tax does not add to the Golfers OF
the Pullman Company. but to the rail
roads, the Georgia RAILROAD Commits
sion would have been powerless to
act as the matter would have been OF
interstate proposition but. IS it is. it is
squarely intra-state. hence the action
of the commission in issuing an order
discontinuing the sur-tax.
Heretofore the surcharge has been
assessed in addition to the regular
Pullman fare. EThe proceeds went to
the railroads and not to the Pullman
company.
On December ) the railroad com.
mission issued an lorder aeqiiring the
railroads to discontinue the surcharse
December 90. The. railroads asked a
rehearing, declaring the order would
take away from them something like
100000 a year in revenue. The com
mission declined to reopen the case
and the order went into effect at G
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
