MAY Have "piplomatIc IIlness.p

Vienna.--Tormer Emperor Charles Is
Ill ut Steinamanger, according to re-
ports reaching entente diplomats here.
The report is coupled with request
for an allied physician to go to Stein
amanger, There Is some inclination
here to regard the indisposition of
Charles as diplomatic Illness" con-
tracted In order that the former em-
peror may obtain further delay in
leaving Steinamanger.
The postponement in the departure
of Charles Is beginning to cause irri-
tation here, as well as In Prague and
Belgrade. According to dispatches
from the latter places there are indi-
cations that early steps may be taxi
en- to hasten the departure of Charles
The belief prevails in some quarters
that Charles may start for Switzer-
land at once, now that the transporta-
ton difficulties have been settled. But
this Is still contingent upon possible
developments at Steinamanger, where
1t is reported that large numbers OF
members of the nobility are arriving.
The little town Is crowded with Hun
garian notables In numbers never be-
fore known In Its history.
In foreign circles here, 1t Is assert
ed that Charles will resist removal
pending Tuesdays meeting Of parlia-
ment. Count Andrassy Is said to be
adroitIy trying to save the day for
the Hapsburgs by inducing Charles to
abdicate in favor of Archduke Otto,
his 9-year-old son, under regency.
The difficulty of getting the former
king out Of Hungary Is said to be due
to differences between the various in
terests in charge of the situation. 1t
is understood that the Socialists have
firmly maintained the position that
two of their army officers and six
men should accompany Charles in or
der to continue the fiction that he is a
prisoner.
The allied officials and the Hun
garians, supported by the Austrian po-
lice, refused tbs as unnecessarily COM
plicating matters. Certain allied Off
GERS agreed to induce their associates
and Hungarans to consent to the So
cialist plan, and the Socialists yield
ed on the question Of the actual pres
ence Of the escort in Charles COM
partment
The Salzburg diet has unanimously
protested against Charles having visit
ed Austria and demanded that the
central government prevent a recur-
renee Of the visit. The Arbeiter lei
tung asks how long Charles is to be
permitted constantly to pass to and
from Austria.

H0LD-UP men BLAME
LANDLORD FOR PLOT
Say He Told Them to Rob Some
One to Get Rent Money. !.

Harrisburg, Pa. - Because they
were $50 in arrears with their rent
to Posa Fienic, Ike Fangratz and Gus
Maretic, Steelton, were advised by
Eienic to go out and hold up sonfe-
body and rob him of the money, Ma
retic told the police.
AS result of taking this advice,
Maretic and Officer James Trombine,
Of the Steelton police force, are in the
Harrisburg Hospital with bullet
wounds and Fangratz is under arrest.
The two men said they held up Fred
Castiglias, a poolroom operator, for
several hundred dollars, fleeing over
nearby fields when help arrived. A
running pistol fight followed, with
Trombino and Maretic' receiving
wounds and the second highwayman
being placed under arrest. Fienic,
the landlord, has declined TO discuss
the matter with the police.

MYERS PROTESTS AGAINST
PATENT. MEDICINE BILL

CHARLESTON, w. VA, April l.
Dr. j. w. Myers, of Philippi lead
ing physician and manufacturer of
Myers remedies, declares that patent
or proprietary medicines are just as es-
sential to the maintenance of health
and comfort as sugar, and appeared
before the joint Senate and House, fl
nance committee to protect against
line three, section one of Senate bill
No. 79-House bill No. 156 proposing
to require license Of S.. on all mer-
chants who sell patent or proprietary
medicines in town of over 1000 pop
ulation. DR.. Myers claims that in
effect and practice this law, if enact
ed, would require each merchant who
sold such requisites as castoria, syrup
of figs, worm candy, cough syrup
pills, aspirin, headache tablets, to
take out license and he does not be-
lieve that merchants will do it. In
stead they will permit people to be
without means Of obtaining things,
"just as necessary as sugar, meat and
clothing, things that cannot be class
ed with luxuries.' DR.. Myers conten-
ded that if this tax was enforced
merchants in rural districts would be
forced to travel fifteen or twenty
miles to the nearest druggist or do
ctor to get some simple medicine
which they needed. DIR Myers la
mented that physicians are leaving
the country districts and argues that
this is reason why people should not
be deprived by legislation of obtain
ing quickly through the country mer-
chants the remedies desired
mo good reason can be given why
medicine should be taxed heavier than
other necessities" declared Dr. Myers,
especially as it would mean that the
increase in price must be passed on
to the sick and helpless DR.. Myers
admitted that some proprietary medi-
cines were not up to the stanard and
are possibly harmful" but declared
that many remedies on the market
were of the highest type and all
should not be condemned because some
few are faulty.
"The whole medical profession is
not condemned because of a few
quacks," he said. DR.. Myers advises
legislation requiring full investigat-
ion of medicines and submission Of
formulas before allowing them sold.
DR.. Myers argues that the country
merchants would bear the buden of
the proposed tax since they outnum-
Der the druggists. When seen just
before leaving Charleston he said
that he took the position that useful
medicine should be encouraged i'm
stead of discourage by legislation
and that people should be enabled to
obtain useful medicines without stint
or hindrance.
