of mine for the benefit of the leg
islators who were opposed to the
passage of the bill:
What of the Child?
You talk of your breed of cattle,
And plan for a higher strain,
You double the feed of the pasture
You heap up the measure Of
grain;
You draw on the wits of the nation
To better the barn and the pen
But what are you doing, my
brothers,
To better the breed of men?
You boast of your Morgans and
HerefOrds,
OF the worth of a calf or colt
And scott at the scrub and the
mongrel,
AS worthy a fool or a dolt;
You mention the points of your
roadster,
But, ah, are you counting, my
brothers,
The worth of the children Of
men?
You talk Of your roan-colOred filly
Your heifer so shapely and sleek
No place shall be filled in your
stanchiOns
By stock that's unworthy or
weak.
But what of the stock of your
household?

Farmer Victim
of Smallpox;
Pets Eat Body

Swan, Neb., Feb. 11.-When Silas
Breen, 68, bachelor farmer, failed
to appear at the p>stoffice for his
mail for few weeks neighbors in
vestigated.
Breen's body was found in his
home practically eaten away by
the cats and dogs which he had
kept. He died of smallpox. Among
the animals found about the place
were eleven small poodles, one
dachshund, three water spaniels,
one st. Bernard, eleven bulldogs,
three Scotch collies, five airedales
and sixteen mongrels. A total Of
SO dogs, 81 cats, a cellar infested
with white mice, the remains of a
dozen canary cages, several broken
bowls of gold fish and a barnyard
Of animals dying of starvation
were among the effects of the dead
man.
Breen had not been known as a
recluse and had appeared normal
in every respect. He had few visi-
tors and thus his peculiar hobby of
collecting animals was unknown.
In his writing desk was found an
envelope containing s4500 in bills
and a note asking that his animals
be provided for in case of his death
until a home could be found for
them.
Breen came to Holt County.
Neb., many years ago. His wife
ran away with another man. He
married again, but his second wife
died during the honeymoon and
Breen returned to his ranch.
He wass born and spent his boy
hood days on a farm near LaSalle,
Ill. Ten years ago he made a third
attempt at matrimony. with the
birth OF a son, who died in infancy,
the woman became an invalid and
Breen spent all of good fortune
on her, but she died.

ANNULMENT DENIED
TO WILLIAM LEEDS
He Claimed Mrs. Freedley Had
a Husband When He
Married Her.

Justice Newburger of the Supreme
Court refused yesterday to grant to Will
lam s. Leeds an annulment of his mar
riage to Mrs. May Joyce Freddy. whom
he married in 1911 while he was a stu
dent at Harvard. two days after she
divorce from her first husband.
The plea of Leeds, who is a son Of
William Bateman Leeds. formerly law
yer of New York and a relative of the
tin plate king" was that Mrs. Freedley
was the wife of Louis ]. Freedley when
he married her.
In refusing an annulment Justice
Newburger said:
HE admits he was in the court house
while his wife's action against her first
husband was being tried, and that he
met the husbands lawyer and paid
part Of his fee. On the next day he
and the defendant here were married
and lived together as husband and wife
until 1919, child. now years old,
being born to them.
TT would be unreasonable to allow
him. after thus inducing her to obtain
a divorce and marry him, and after
living with her for such time as pleased
him. to have the marriage annuled and
to be released by judicial decree from
all responsibility Hereunder on the
ground the decree was invalid. His con-
tention that he is not her husband be-
cause she had been married and her
former husband was living when she
made her present marriage is untenable
and Judgment is therefore rendered for
her"

told the police that Miss Klein. who was
23 and worked as salesgirl in q Man
haitian store, had known Slug for a year
and that he had been trying to get her
to marry him.
The girl had refused. Zevin said. be-
cause she wanted to continue working
until she had saved enough money to
bring her brothers and sisters to this
country from Russia. Last night Slug
went to see her and argued with her in
the hallway The girl persisted in her
refusal to be married at once, and Slug
drew a revolver and shot her In the left
breast. The SHOOTING was seen by the

MESSAGE OF CHEER
TO CANCER VICTIMS
Scientists Tell of Advance
Made in Study of Dread
Disease.
OFF INCURABLE LIST
Radium and X-Ray Found
Invaluable in the More
Advanced Stages.
MYSTERY ONLY IN ORIGIN
Periodic Examinations, Partic-
ularly of Women, Advised by
Doctors and Surgeons.

A message of real announcement
and cheer concerning the cure of
cancer, which annually causes 10000
deaths in this country, was given to
the world last night by four physi-
clans and surgeons among the fore
most in the fight against the disease.
Speaking at the Academy of Medi-
cine, II West Forty-third street, the
four scientists told Of the strides
which had been made in the study of
the disease and it's removal from the
list of incurable Affections of mankind,
and asserted that little care on the
part of the public in general and
physicians as well would do much to
do away with cancer.
Remember that complete removal is
who goes to the table before the growth
has leaped or extended to inaccessible
regions can be cured" DIR. Joseph A.
Blake declared. Every surgeon has
numbers of such patients who have been
absolutely cured. Early recognition and
complete removal are necessary. That
Is ALL"
Ut. blake explained tnaC tnOugH tne
cause of cancer is unknown there is no
other mystery about the disease. He
explained that it is at first. localized in
a lump or sore. sometimes caused by
chronic irritation Of certain part of the
body, as in the cheek by a sharp or
broken tooth. the tongue by repeated
burning in smoking This localized
stage may last for days or weeks, some
times for months and very rarely for
years.
1.-THE trouble Is that there is no way
of knowing when extension of the
growth may take place. because it's ex-
tension Is always accidental" he said
"A piece of the growth itself has to
break off into q vessel and be carried
An the circulation to another part of
the body, when it becomes implanted
and grows. Ordinarily this transplant
takes place by means of the lymphatic
circulation and the transplant takes
root near by in the nearest>ly >lymphatic
gland. 1t still may be small and re-
movable, but now there are two growths
and twice the number of chances for
extension

animation by competent physicians and

CONNECTICUT MAKES
BOBBED HAIR LEGAL
State Acknowledgement Rec
Ommends New Art Be Of
ficially Recognized.
BARRIERS GET LICENSES
Greenwich Village Shocked on
LeLarning 1t Is Not I'm
cOnvential.

Greenwich Village probably has suf-
fered no severer blow in recent years
than was contained yesterday in the an
nouncement of Connecticut authorities
legalizing bobbed hair. While it is true
that Greenwich Village is sufficiently re-
moved from the Connecticut boundaries
not to be endangered intimately by the
adoption of the ruling of the Attorney
General of that State, the status which
this very opinion accords to one of the
most--if not the most'-untrammelled OF
all Greenwich Village ways. removing
1t from the unconventional and stamping
1t with the flatness of stale legality,
should, at the least, start a revolt among
the free verse writer's in favor of wear
ing female locks long again.
AS the dispatches had it. upon an
oral opinion by the Connecticut Attor-
ney-General. recommending that the
new art of hair bobbing be officially
recognized, the State Board of BARRIERS
met and duly prescribed that on Mon
day next applications will be received
from BARRIERS desiring licenses to bob
the hair of Connecticut maidens. AS a
licensed hair bobber will. In a manner
of speaking, have 1t all over the free
lance, or unlicensed hair bobber, a
parper $ rush 10 the BDard OF Baroers
looms no doubt will be great Happy be
the Connecticut barber who can adver-
tise himself as having Hair bobbing
License No. IL
The full purport of the thing had not
reached Greenwich Village yesterday
owing to the 1ateness of the hour at
which the Attorney General spoke the
words. extending the legal olive branch
to curtailed hair. But in a few select
circles OF the city's famous art centre
the rumor was spreading last night. and
the opinion of these was unanimous :
That If bobbed hair is legal, down with
it. Prim Connecticut damosels may go
and be bobbed. and State upon State
may pass statutes following this ex-
ample, but the JOY of bobbed hair has
died out where it was first and most
persistently regarded as a symbolism Of
ndividualism.

lost through the carelessness or ig-
norance of the physician
DR.. William II. Woglum, associate d.
rector of the George Crocker Special
Research Laboratory OF Columbia Uni
versit.. explained that research had
gone so far in the last ten years that
cancer has been produced in euiinals
III three ways, by painting the skin
with tar. repeatedly. by introducing
parasitic worms In animals like rats
and by use of a tapeworm. In each
case the chronic irritation of the skin
OF orsansms of the animal by the tar
or worms eventually caused cancer BY
getting rid of chronic irritations the
number of cancer cases can be- mateIt-
ally reduced. he said.
The medical men were in entire ac-
c0id as regards the comparative me,i's
OF iadium. X-ray and surgery DIR.
Douglas A. Quick of the radium de-
said:
1T is entirely absurd to say that
radium is of no value in the treatment
of cancer. Such statements AZ that
radiu mwill prolong life to a hundred
years are equally absurd, however"
Surgery for Early Stages.
Surgery. he said, was the best method
of handling cancer in Its early stages.
while radium and the X-ray have proved
their worth in the more advanced stages.
In many instances a combination of sur
gerry and radium is most advantageous.
'The recent newspaper publicity con-
cerning radium is misleading and un-
fair. especially to the cancer sufferer
who is placing his hope in this agent"
n co Mo xxyttl xnd dftty a..1
X-ray to date have been so encouraging
that they warrant the expectation of far
greater benefit in the future"
DR.. Howard G. Taylor. speaking in
the necessity of public education regard
ing cancer, said he had four primary
reasons for optimism, the fact that can
Ger is durable IL taken in time and prop
erly treated that It is not hereditary
that it is not contagious and that it is
preventabIe in some cases by avoiding
constant irritation of part of the body.
He recommended periodic examinations,
particularly for women.
The belief that cancer is increasing
in frequency by leaps and bounds was
exploded by Wendell M. Strong. secre-
tary of the Actuarial Society Of Amer
lea, who said that the records of two
great insurance companies. the Metro
politan and the Mutual Life, showed no
increase in mortality from this cause.
He said State records do show rather an
increase in the number of cases, but
said that this might be due to the In
crease of correct diagnoses of the dis
ease rather than an actual increase and
pointed out that this increase, IL real,
was offset by cures from early surgical
treatment. Cancer is of more frequent
occurrence among the poorer classes
than the well to do, he said, and con-
firmed the medical men in their state
ment that cancer is neither hereditary
nor contagious.

John i. Dwyer. former police inspector.

from Lewis Rabbage. police reserve, 9,

before almost a hundred other reserves
gathered at Atlantic Hall. Stapleton
Staten Island.
A short time ago the young and enthu-
siastic reserves invited their big chief to
talk to them about police matters, and
especially about how they could be good
reserves. Inspector Dwyer, who had not
then resigned. agreed. and, despite his
resignation recently, he kept his word
last night.
The reserves, all in uniform. greeted
him cordially and sat silent to learn the
many things young reserve should
know. Inspector Dwyer talked for an
hour and a half and the reserves lis
tened in stunned amazement. He talked
about the perfidious newspapers. he
gave his opinion of Charles S. Whitman.
former Governor; expressed the belief
that Lieut. Becker was framed"
charged that the Meyer committee was
for political purposes only,
strongly intimated that all reserves
should vote for John F. Hylan, and even
mentioned by name the Democratic
nominee for President of the Borough OF
Richmond. Mathew J. Cahill.
When he has finished Rabbage jumped
to his feet and in no uncertain language
rebuked the former inspector for in
jecting politics into a meeting called to
consider police affairs.
I'VE didn't come here to hear talk
on politics." he said. "Some OF us are
and we all have a right to vote the way
we think right"
A recess was taken Immediately there
after for five minutes. Then Candidate
Cahill himself happened in. much to the
amazement of most of the reserves.
Things looked warm for moment, but
then Mr.. Cahil smoothed matters by
congratulating the reserves most heartily
and fervently FOR their public spirit and
studiously avoided mentioning himself
his ambitions or his party
After the meeting Col. w. J. Roberts,
who is in charge of the reserves on
Staten Island, denied that he knew
Inspector Dwyer would discuss political
matters and said he did not know in
advance~of the meeting that Mr.. Cahill
would be present. Some of the reserves,
however, talked of an investigation to
determine whether any member of the
reserves had arranged the meeting for
political purposes. 1t Is rumored that
Rabbage bought quart bottle of lini-
ment to apply TO his sore back after
receiving the hearty congratulations
of other reserves.

O[D PEN COMMISSION
 |S NJ MORE
Gov. McRae Signs Bill Abolishing
 It Tuesday.
JAMES R. ALEXANDER NAMED.
Other Members of Honorary Com mission to Have Charge of Penal
 Institutions to Be Named u Today.

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-Governor McRae this morning signed the bill abolishing the penitentiary commits sion, thus completing the first step in his policy of retrenchment.
 It is expected that he will appoint the honorary commission this after noon which was provided for in the bill abolishing the old board.
 Hon. James R. Alexander of Pulas- Ri county has been rendered and has accepted a place on the new com mission.
 MT. Alexander is a successful far mer and personally superintends the operations on his big plantation near Scott. He engineered the trip of members of the state legislature to the agricultural schools of Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. His practical knowledge should be of great ad- vantage in making the state farms pay a dividend instead of showing a loss.
 There was no intimation of others whom the governor would appoint on this board, but it is believed they will be of the caliber of MT. Alexan Ter.
