Justice Van orsdeI Finds How
erton Is Regular
Physician"

Justice Van .Orsdef of the court of
appeals today established the legal
status of practitioners of osteopathy
to be that of REGULAR practicing
physicians"
The court in so doing reversed the
police court which has imposed a
fine OF Thomas J. Howerton, an
osteopath, for alleged violation of
the lGw against the practice of
poliS. Try, without having a license.
This act was passed May %, 1918,
and excerpts from it's operation reg
uiar practicing physicians and SUR
geons.
It was held by the court that the
act 81 not intended to interfere with
the general practice of any recog-
nized branch of medical science; nor
that a general practitioner shall be
limited in the treatment of his
patients to all parts of the body
except the foot.
A statement of facts agreed upon
showed that Howerton treated a
patient for a sprained foot Hover
ton was a graduate of an osteopathic
school and had practiced for twelve
years.

Girls Brother Asks
State Department to
Probe KIDNAPPING
By InternatiOnaH News serVIce

NEW YORK, May 7.-Word was
being anxiously awaited today as to
the fate of Miss Lucy Aldrich, Of
New York, by her brother, Winthrop
w. Aldrich, attorney. Miss Aid
rich is the sister-in.law of John D.
Rockefeller, jr., and daughter of
the late United States Senator Mel
son w. Aldrich, of Rhode Island.
Aldrich had received no direct in
formation from China this morning.
He said he had communicated with
Standard Oil Company representa-
tives in China and had also asked
the State Department at Washing
ton to investigate the reported kid
mapping.
Miss Aldrich is very wealthy in
her own right. Her father lit an
| estate estimated at $50, 900, 900, which
was shared in by the late Senator'S
eight children. Miss Aldrich started
on q world tour last October, &C.
companied by maid and a travel
| ing companion, Miss Minnie McFad-
den, of Providence, r. /.
John D. Rockefeller, jr., who is at
Seal Harbor, Me-, Immediately on re-
ceipt of the news Of the kidnapping
telegraphed the State Department at
| Washington. 1t is understood his
telegram was couched in strong
| terms.

crate their own little armies as
they please.
The bold hold-up of the Picking
Shanghai express, comparable to a
holdup of a Chicago or
New York Chicago train, by "a young
bandit army of 1000 men, is thus
indicative of the general conditions
that prevail throughout China, &C.
cording to information here, and
this incident admittedly may bring
to a. head the dissatisfaction that
all the world powers feel over the
Chinese situation.
For it's own nationals, the Ameri-
can Government will demand i'm
mediately of the Picking government
their immediate release, indemnifi-
cation for losses and injuries IN
Cured, and a formal apology, &C.
companied by energetic government
tai efforts to capture and suitably
punish those responsible for the
outrage.
Additional Details Awaits.
While officials were inclined to
await additional details today before
commenting upon the outrage, it
was readily conceded that d most
serious situation has been brought
about by this latest bandit coup,
which took place in one of the most
thickly populated sections of China.
1t is g. situation, admittedly, that
may call for joint action on the
part of the great powers to compel
China to afford reasonable protec-
ton to the lives and properties Of
foreign residents in China. There
are numerous presidents for such
joint action on the part of the
great powers, the most outstanding
being in 1901, when the United
States, Great Britain, France, Ger.
many, Japan and Italy all sent
troops into China in the Boxer up
rising. While the present situation
is not yet considered yet 50 grave
as in 1901, conditions in China are
nevertheless felt by officials of this
Government to be fast becoming
intoIerable.
A prompt and vigorous protest
by the United States will be made
as soon as sufficient facts are re-
ceived' to warrant 1t. 1t is under
stood Minister Schurman has al
ready made some representation to
the Chinese government.
American military forces in China
include a regiment Of infantry at
Pekin under the command of Brig.
Gen. William e. Turner, and 200
marines at Tientsin.

Washington double for the
famed French actress, by a remark
able coincidence, while she has not
had her attention called to her like
ness to the Divine Sarah, has had
the stage fever in her blood since
childhood and, like the famous
actress, has longed to do some
really serious, worthwhile work en-
the stage"
Her remarkable likeness to Mad
anne Bernhard is not confined to
her face; her coloring and figure
are said to closely resemble those
of the famed French woman.
Former New York Girl.
She is Miss Dorothy Hickson, a
former New York girl, who is now
living at 4011 Fourth street north
west, in the Petworth section. Miss
Hlckson has taken part in amateur
professional stage. The fact that
her remarkable likeness has not
previously been noticed she at
tributes to the fact that she has
never had an opportunity to play
any parts that would cause her to
wear costumes or to make up after
the fashion of her famed prototype.
Miss Hickson herself has not
noted the resemblance and was
astOnished when shown a recent
portrait of herself placed beside a
study of the late world famed
tragedienne which was published
recently in The Washington Times.

have long been an ardent admirer
of the greatest actress the world
has known. l would regard it as
the opportunity of my life to por-
tray her. 1t would be an honor
greater than l have ever hoped

Miss Hickson is twenty-four years
old. She has wealth of deep
auburn hair, as characteristically
fluffy as was that of Madame Bern
hardt. She is five feet seven inches
tall and weighs about 100 pounds.
Her eyes are perhaps the most
striking characteristic of her physiog-
nOmy. They are very large and
are Of a deep lustrous blue and
in the photograph are apparently
absolutely identical with those of
the late Madame Bernhard.
The photograph submitted by Miss
Hickson in the contest office was
laid before several people who had
seen Madame Bernhard in person
several times. Two of them remark
ed that cit was good picture, but
it must have been taken when she
was rather young" They were
frankly skeptical when assured that
the photograph was really not that
of Bernhard.
Vitality and Energy.
Miss Hickson also has the re.
markable vitality and energy which
were so characteristic of the re-
nowned Frenchwoman and which
carried her through span of
strenuous stage life longer than the
entire lifetime OF the average
person.
One OF the people to whom the
photograph was shown remarked
that, "lf the Cleopatra contest had

TEGUCIGALPA, H duras,
May 7.-Gallantry of the Latin
Americans, especially the police,
who have thawed out under the
flashing smile of "Mrs. Jesse
Carson virtually identified
as Clara Phillips, noted Los
Angeles murderess and cave
woman-is causing some anxiety
to the American minister, Frank
lin Morales.
Attempt to Free Her.
Already a party of schools boys
have made one romantic attempt
to liberate the suspected hammer
murderess" and Minister Morales
wants the woman securely held
against any second attempt before
she is turned over to the California
authorities.
Mrs. Carson" and her fellow
prisoner, Mrs. r. M. Young" are
attracting the attention of all
classes. Two society girls, mem.
bers Of prominent families, called
upon them in their quarters over
police headquarters.
Mrs. Carson" professed indigna
ton over her detention, saying:
I'VE came here to establish a. bust
ness. When the California police ar.
rive we will be released. We can
prove that we are innocent. We
have no complaint against Honduras
The treatment we got here was fine
1t is better than we would have re
ceiVed at home. When we return we
are going to bring suit for dam
ages"
A New York newspaper has just
arrived with picture of Clara
Phillips and the story of her arrest.
When the International News
Service correspondent showed it tC
"Mrs. Carson" she made no com
ment.
What Is the fare from Amahala
Honduras) to Los Angeles?" sht
asked, after looking at the story.
Identified by Picture.
The picture, however, seemed tf
clinch the opinion of the. local news
paper editors that the suspected
woman is really Clara Phillips. One
TegucigaIpa paper said: 1.-The PIC
ture we now possess unfortunately
Identifies the woman held here as
Clara Phillips. 1t is difficult to be
lieVe that such charming woman
is a criminal"
Mrs. Carson" maintains her free
and easy manner.
Her nerve has aroused the al
miration of the police who are
used to dealing with all grades o.
criminals. She telephOned to the
American legation and asked tha'
a clerk be sent to aid her to sent
a wireless. The clerk went to The
police station and found that the
woman wished to send the follow
ing message:
ar. S. Jackson, Hotel Opera
Tampico, Mexico:
Wire money. Are you coming"
The woman had signed 1t Mrs
X. NJ Young" which is the name
that her companion is living under
here.

PEKIN, May 7.-Chinese troops
today are in pursuit of bandits
who kidnapped $50 passengers
from a STRENGTHENING express
train near the Shantung border.
Among those upon the train
was Miss Lucy T. Aldrich, of
New York, sister-in-law of John
d. Rockefeller, jr., and daughter
of the late Nelson w. Aldich,
United States Senator from
Rhode Island.
There were about 1000 bandits
In the party, all we'll armed and
well drilled.
Five Reported Killed.
Five foreigners were reported
killed in fighting between the
bandits and train guards. The exact
number of casualties. however, is un-
certain.
1t is reported that party of jour
