WOULD EXTRADITE FATHERS.
Another bill introduced In Congress
by friends of Judge Sellers, aims to
give the Judge of the Juvenile court
authority to ektradite from any city
a man or woman who has failed to
support his or her minor children.
AT present the law provides that
only the judges OF the District Su-
creme Court can enter proceedings
for the extrad!tion of a man or wom-
an who leavess his or her children
destitute or The man who deserts
his wife and children.
During the past six months more
than 100 cases of fathers leaving
their children have been hled with
the Juvenile court But few of them
were brought back to Washington
and forced to support the children
because OF the difficulties of extra
diting them from out OF the city.

Homeless Immigrant
Once, DR.. FornadHeads
u. S. Pathologists Now

From a poor and homeless immi-
grant youth, who arrived in this
country in 1888. to one of the coun-
try's foremost psthologists, is a re-
markable achievement. but that is
what has been accomplished by DR..
Robert ]. Formad, of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry. Department Of
Agriculture.
DR.. Formal, who is recognized as
the leading pathologist in the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, arrived in the
United States from southern Russia
at the age of twenty. Going TO Phila-
delphia, he began to work his way
through the University OF Pennsyl-
vanis, where he matriculated the fol
lowing year in the veterinary depart
ment. His work in the department
was so far above that of the other
students that he was soon designated
az an acting assistant in normal his
tology in the medical department OF
the university, with a salary of 800 a
year. Upon graduation he took up a
course in medicine. which he finished
in two years. and for a number OF
years afterward he held position as
instructor at the university.
In 1906 he left the university to ac-
cept a position III the Breah of AMI
NAL Industry, and has rendered valu-
able work to the Government ever
since.
NEARLY LOSES LIFE.
While in the Government service,
DR.. Formad came very near losing his
life and becoming a martyr to science.
4 few years ago, while examining the
head OF a mule to determine II It were
he accidentally cut his hand while re-
moving the brain OF the animal.
A laboratory test showed the animal
was suffering from rabies In virulent
form, and the germs had entered the
wound in DR.. Formaa's hand.
'T Immediately took the Pasteur
treatment and was in the hospital for
twenty-one days, but fortunately the
treatment was effective, and did
not develop the dreaded disease" he
said. in speaking of the accident.
DR.. Formad has been the Govern
meut's expert In number of big legal
cases requiring expert testimony OF
a patholoRist.
Among them were the Government
against the Cocoa Cola Company and
the Anaconda Copper Company.
MUzzLE DOGS, HE SAYS.
Dr. Formad. who is the departments
expert on rabid animals, expressed
the opinion that the District Commits
sioners will jeopardize the lives Of
thousands OF people IL they stand by
their recently Issued order to allow
dogs to run at large without muzzles
from October o to July OF each
year.

would undoubtedly increase ra bies

MURDERS
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
tby Associated Press)

Chicago, Sept. 1O-1hc dissect-
ed body Of Carl Asmuz, automo-
bile salesman, who disappeared
Thursday, was unearhed today

home of II. NJ Church, on Fulton

the same time, was found i'll the
Desplaines river yesterday.

here from Adams, Wisconsin.
where he was arrsted yesterday
He made the trip in the automo-
bile which Daugherty and Asmuz
delivered to him and which
Church said his father intended
to purchase.
An examination of the base
ment of the Church home dis
closed a blood staiued baseball
bat, hatcllct and Daughcrty' S
clothing. Apparently the slain
men were separately lured to the
basement and beaten to death.
When Daugherty's body was
found in the river "a pair of hand
cuffs were attached to one Of his
wrists, a small rope was twisted
about his throat and the head
had been almost severed from the
body. In addition. bruises about
(! his head and shoulders seemed to
indicate that he had been beaten
and kicked. His home was in St
Paul, Mimi, and he was widely
known as an amateur distance
runner in that state. His sister
Miss Hanna Daugherty, is super
visor of the St. Paul schools.
