TODD CASE
ARGUMENT
GROWS HOT
Witnesses Tell Stories
of Dealings with For
mer School Head In
Timber Deal

Portland, Or, Jan. 19.-(Spe-
cia)-John Todd, former super
intendent of schools at Salem, as
sured her time and again that he
would return her money in case
Carlos L. Byron proved to be a
fraud, Miss Esther G. Wheeler,
Todd's former secretary, told the
jurors in the federal district court,
where Todd is being tried a Sec
ond time on the charge of using
the mails to defraud Salem resi-
dents out of over 100000, this
morning.
Todd Defended Byron
Miss Wheeler said that she had
lost $500 in the Byron-Todd op-
erations in Salem, and that she
paid Byron the money, Though
Todd, on a contract, by the terms
of which she was to be located on
a valuable timber claim.
P. J. Kuntz, another alleged
victim of the fraud scheme, told
the jurors that Todd had told him
Byron was an honest man and a
good timber locator, and that
Todd had advised him not to
spread the timber claim news for
fear it would reach the timber in
terests and thus thwart Byron in
his efforts to secure valuable
claims for Salemites.
Said Byron Pardoned
That he first learned of By
ron's criminal record through the
press was the allegation Of VIM.
McGilchrist, Jr. McGilchrist fur
ther said that, in response to in
quiry on Byron's record, Todd
told him that Byron carried a
pardon in his pocket, and NO
matter what the courts did he
could not be placed in jail.
Todd admitted that he was to
get 500 a claim on all contracts
with Salem people that he got for
Byron, McGilchrist said, adding
that he and Walter Winslow had
advised Todd that the timber
claim scheme was shady. In cross
examining McGilchrist the de-
fense attempted to show that
Todd was as much a victim OF
Byron as any of the others.

SURGICAL
OPERATION
Is UNIQUE
Salem Physicians Are
First to Attempt
Sympathectomy In
This County, Belief

An operation in sympathectomy
believed to be the first ever per-
formed in the United States, by
which an effort was made to al
leviate the pain in the stump of
an arm which had been amputat-
ed, was performed at local hos
pital yesterday by Drs. F. H.
Thompson and DR.. G. A. Downs,
Salec physicians.
/, The operation, the theory of
which was discovered by DR.. Rene
Leriche, famous surgeon of Ly-
ons, France, was performed in Sa-
lem on the left arm Of Marius
Sahuc, a resident Of southern
Oregon. Already the pain in the
stump is said by Mr.. Sahuc to be
diminished, but to what degree
the unique operation will be a
success cannot yet be determined.
L jill lC-uA CCJCQ
In Mr.. Sahuc's case the regular
nerve supply from the central
nervous system had already been
re-sected, or cut, at a previous OPP
Grafton performed in Portland.
Continued pain was the result,
and DR.. Thompson and DR.. Downs
assumed that the pain must be
transferred through the sympa-
thetic nervous system.
With the understanding that
the extraordinary operation was
to be performed merely as an ex-
pertinent, Mr.. Sahuc requested
the physicians to proceed. An
opening was made over the bra
chial artery in order to dissect
off cuff of the outer coat OF
that artery, which contains a
plexus of the sympathetic nerv-
Gus system.
Theory A New One
1t was but recently that DR.. Le-
richie came to this country to
read a paper concerning the oper-
alton performed here yesterday,
and if similar operations have
been attempted in the United
States, no mention of them have
been made in medical journals or
newspapers.

Grandmother kept her hair beau- tifully darkened, glossy and attrac- tive with brew of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other in gradients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens 50 naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- piied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw 1t through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the. gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy soft and beautiful
