WAR REFUGEES
GAIN FREEDOM
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Juzenas,
Former KenOshans, Re-
ceive Passports.
ON A PRE-WAR VISIT

After being held in Lithuania and
Russia for more than two years be
cause of an inability to gain passports.
Mr.. and Mrs. Juozas Juzenas, formerly
we'll known residents of the Lithuanian
colony of Kenosha, will soon return to
their home in this city. They have
gained their passports by reason of
the fact that their two sons, Walter
and Alphonse were born in Kenosha
and are therefore American citizens
and cannot be held in Lithuania. The
case presents one of the most inter
esting emigration tangles that Keno
sha has had for many months.
Making a Pre-War Visit.
In the summer of 1914 the family
went to Lithuania, where they had con-
siderable property, Tor short visit,
intending to return to Kenosha in the
fall of the same year. Juzenas had
been employed at the Simmons com
pany for many years and had been a
leader in the Lithuanian colony here.
His home was on Wisconsin street.
In August they were caught in Lith-
uanla by the war anu IoE IouE lung
years waited for its termination. Then
they made another attempt to leave
Riga, but could not get their passports
vized.
Friend Helps Them Out.
Walter Defaults, a brother-1n-law,
carried the appeal to the department
of state at Washington. Attorney G.
E. Randall filed the complaint for him
and pointed out that the children were
American citizens. This morning re-
ply was received from the department
of state declaring that orders had gone
forward to VIE the passports and al
low the four to come to America.

WILD SNAKE YARN
A CHAMPION, BUT
IT LACKED TRUTH

A wild-sounding morsel of gossip
which has been going the rounds
hereabout, strikes a snag right here.
1t is a snake story-some snake
story-and has to do with the report
ed finding by X-ray of a rattle snake
of two rattles in the stomach of a
woman patient at the Plains Hos
pital. The Times Recorder today
communicated with the Drs. Wise, of
the Plains Hospital, and was assured
that the report, which has also been
current in another form there, was
without any basis whatever.
According to the story, a woman
patient from South Georgia was ad-
mitted to the hospital suffering from
stomach trouble. She related that
two years ago while swimming she
had swallowed what she thought was
straw, and had confined to grow
more distressed constantly. An ex-
animation was made by x-ray, accord
ing to the story, and a live snake
discovered. Further, the yarn went,
the doctors were in a quandary on
observing that il was a rattier, fear
ing that on operating either they or
the patient would be bitten by the
poisonous reptile when it was dis
turbed.
1t was wild yarn, and it has been
travelling fast The only thing wrong
about it was everything.

Macon Woman Writes

Another claimant to share Of
the w. H. Scarborough estate, as al
heir at law, has turned up. Sh2 is d
Mrs. Wyman, of Macon, who has
written through her attorney, X. D.

concerning the estate. According to
information she claims that her moth
er was first cousin OF Ia: stan
man, holding the same relationship
as the two Mesdames Stevens, who
until an uncle made his existence
known, were supposed to be the only
heirs. Persons here are inclined to
dispute the authenticity of her ,itlm,
although little is said to be known
about Mrs. E~yman or her ancestry.
There were no developments today
in the Scarborough mystery. The

no matter how many protests he
receives; that he himself is going to
attend it; and that he has invited

amusement the diatribe against the

DR.. Walter To Specialize

Recognizing need for a special

community, DR.. George Walter,
rathologist, who recently established
laboratories here, announces that he
will devote a part of his time from
this time forward to diagnosis and
treatment of this class of ailments,
having ordered a supply of radium
for use IN cancer treatments. The
tiny vial of radium will cost $3,500
Few except the largest cities have
radlum facilities at hand.
Although DR.. Walter is a young
man of unusual attainments, it has
not been known before that he was
skilled in this line of work. However
he Is a graduate of the New York
Skin and Cancer hospital, and was
chief resident physician in this hos
pital for one year following his in
terneship. In addition to this he is a
graduate of mechanical engineering
at Cornell, and holds NJ. d. and Phi
d. degrees from Johns Hopkins, at
Baltimore. For number of years he
has been specializing in pathological
laboratory work, diagnosing for 9th
er physicians. His previous activi-
ties have been wholly devoted to
large cities, but he has located in Am
circus for family reasons.
In addition to his laboritory work
here, he has been appointed Pathol-
ogist at the Phoebe Putney Memorial
hospital at Albany, which city he
visits twice a week regularly.
DR.. Walter has an army record
possessed by few Americans. He was
in Germany visiting laboratories
when the war broke out and went
to England where he enlisted, serv-
ing four years. He emerged with the
British rank of brevet major. He was
wounded and spent a brief period in
an enemy prison in the Mediter-
ranean-but that is another story
which he has promised to tell some
