An autopsy on an ex-soldier, the

The motive for the alleged kill
ings Is believed TO have been the
desire to collect the mems. insur-
ance. total Of $1,000 for the
three.
The woman was married four
times in Pittsburgh before she mar
ried the Cleveland ex-soldier. Her
first two husbands divorced her.
In 1917 her third husband died
from a disease that. the prosecutor
says, may have been due to poison.
The fourth husband died in 1919
and traces OF arsenic were found.
but the investigation was dropped
when a physician said he had pre-
scribed a medicine that contained
arsenic.
The woman had two children by
her first husband and both died
from the effects OF poison. The
mother said they procured the poi.
son by mistake.
She now claims her fifth hus-
band died from the effects OF poi
son gas inhaled in France. His
army record does not show he was
either gassed or wounded. 1t has
been established that no physician
was called during his illness and
that shortly before he died his wife
attempted to have his Government

Mr.. James II. Allen, OF Congress
Avenue, Rochester, n. Y, suffered
for years with rheumatism. Many
times this terrible disease left him
helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
ccaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac.
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits, are dis
solved in the joints and muscles
and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he con.
suited physicians, made experiments
and finally compounded a prescrip-
tion that quickly and completely
banished every sign and symptom
OF rheumatism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery,
which he called ALLENRHU, to
others, who took II, with what
might be called marvellous SUCCESS.
After years of urging he decided to

The tendency toward over-special.

Since the war the movement toward
group practice and the increasing use
OF clinical Laboratories have expanded
rapidly. For all this specialization
the patient pays, either directly or
indirectly.
Specialization often inclines the
specialist toward loss OF perspective,
and the patient becomes a clinical
case instead OF a human being. The
organization OF private practitioners
into group practice units has resulted
in competition and commercialism IN
some cases.

DOYLE SEES ENGLISH

Says 1t Could Be Made to Sup

With the Young.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 1s.--If Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle can get two good base
ball authorities to go back to England
with him when he sails he will try to
make baseball SO popular there that the
people. except those in home for the
cricket. Sir Arthur. 1t was learned to-
day. is something of shortstop himself.
He played an impromptu game in
Switzerland on team OF Englishmen
which defeated a team of Americans.
He was So years old then, and he said
to-day that IL he had taken up the game
earlier he would without doubt have ac-
quired some proficiency.
II am convinced" said Sir Arthur.
that baseball is the game England
needs. For years there has beer de-
mand for young mans game, and base
ball will fill that want. 1t would not
displace cricket. to which England is so
devoted. as that is an old mans game.
Good baseball is strictly for the younger
fellows--that was not good baseball we
played that time in Switzerland.
II think if two good baseball men
toured the English colleges, teaching
the students, organizing several teams
in each college and arranging matches
between the best teams in each college.
interest would be created Immediately.
Then if the newspapers printed the
rules of the game. to permit the spec
tators to educate themselves before they
saw match. the audiences would be
wildly enthusiastic from the first in
ming. There might be one deviation from
American custom-instead of stretching
in the seventh inning there might be ar-
plause and tea"

cit long has been a popular pastime

LON6WORTH AND WALSH
IN FLOOR LEADER RACE
Would Succeed MondeIl, Who

Special Dispatch to The New YoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c.. June Is.


Friends of Representatives Nicholas
Longw nth of Ohio and of Joseph Walsh
of Massachusetts already are lining UP
behind these respective figures for the
successorship to Representative Mondell
of Wyoming as Republican leader of the
House. Representative Mondell is a
candidate for United States Senator
representative Walsh is in good posi-
tion to succeed to the leadership. 1t Is
believed, but is handicapped by the posi-
ton, which Massachusetts already holds
in governmental affairs. Friends of Rep
resentative Longworth insist the next
floor leader should be a Western man
and point out that to make Mr.. Walsh
floor leader while Speaker Gillette is in
the chair would have the effect OF turning
most of the Government over to the Bay
State Republicans.
Here is the list of Massachusetts lead
ers now occupying responsible positions
and chairmanships:

ator Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman SEN

Luce. chairman House Elections Com
mittee No. q Samuel L. Winslow, chair

Representative Joseph Walsh has been
acting as an unofficial assistant Speaker.
