KIWANIANS URGED TOI
 UPHOLD PROHIBITION
Chairman Argues Against Use Of
 Intoxicants At Convention

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 1o.- (By Associated Press.)--The twen- ty-nine district governors of Kiwanis Internationals, covering 1000 of the largest cities of the United States and Canada, have taken the stand that the organization is for law, or der and government, notwithstanding personal views as to the eighteenth amendment.
 The international convention will be held at Atlanta, Ga, and because of the expected attendance being 10000. John H. Moss of Milwaukee, chairman of the board of governors, today sent out the following letter to all gov ernors:
 At the Chicago conference of gov ernors your chairman ventured to express the hope that the use of in- toXicants would be abandoned at con ventions. So many have declared themselves IS being in harmony with this view that he Is encouraged to seek the realization of his dream He does not approach the proposition as fanatic, but merely as member of one of the best of great organiza- tions who is desirous of elevating it above the taint of criticism.
 At present there Is probably no subject more frequently discussed than prohibition. At present there Is probably no law more frequently violated than the eighteenth amend ment Prohibition may or may not have come to stay. It is, however, at this time law of tho land with governmental officers sworn to en- force it's obeyance. Obedience to law Is fundamental for good citizenship. Even those opposed to prohibition should not scoff at it. They should sustain 1t if right. They should cor if if 70

BOY HAS SAD ACCIDENT

James Haynes. a young man about IS years old, is reported to be resting well at the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company hospital at Fair field following an accident in which he suffered the loss of both feet when he fell under the wheels of a passenger coach at Edgewater last Wednesday afternoon. Young Haynes. who works in one of the offices of the r. C. l. at Ensley, rode the Bir- mingham Southern passenger train home from work every afternoon and. according to statement, he had habit of jumping off the train before it stopped and in some manner lost his balance when he jumped Wednes- day afternoon and rolled back under the wheel of the passenger coach, which crushed both his feet so badly that amputation was necessary. An other sad feature about the accident is that the young boy is the sole sup port of his widowed mother, with whom he lived in Edgcwater.

 Last night Douglas entered the home of white man named Manus, where he was later killed, and de- manded food He was stilled armed with the shotgun with which the five persons were shot. Manus fed him.

 His body Is now lying outside the home in which he was killed.
 The shooting of the fugitive was the climax to one of the most brutal tragedies in the annals of the state, two men and two women being shot down as they watched beside the bed of a dying woman at the home of Sam Haston, brother of Tennessee's secretary of state. The man chase which followed led through two counties, but ended, when the negro gave his pursuers the slip and re- turned to the scene of the crime.

British Indian Troops
Want Native Officers

Delhi, Ind.-The Inflammation Of
the Indian army, which has been one
Of the most disturbing questions in
Indian politics during recent months,
is being made a leading subject for
discussion at the present session Of
the national legislature. The object
sought by the Indians is to have only
Indian officers for Indian troops. Agf-
tation along this line has been in
creasing gradually for several years,
and is expected to result in legisla-
tive action at an early date.
In a recent meeting of the legisla-
tive assembly, Yamin Khan moved to
recommend to the governor general~in
council that he get kings commits
sions for Indians by direct recruit
ment until, all Indian regiments are
wholly Indianized.
Yamin Khan, in urging his resolu-
ton. made it clear that he did not un-
derrate the services rendered by Brit
fish officers In India. His position was
that Indian soldiers should have an
opening for rising to the highest ranks
in the army, as Is the case In other
countries.

CRIME YIELDS.
SMALL RETURNS
Most Thieves End Their Careers
Barren of Money, Says an
Old Detective.

New York.-When a burglar Jim
mics his way into your apartment he
has but n object in vfew-to get
something of value; something that
will compensate him for the risk he is
taking. The burglar prefers money
to anything else, and next to money,
jewelry, since it may be easily car
ried away and quickly turned into
money. Do criminals such as the bur-
glar, hold-up man or pickpocket accu-
muIate much money, and If so, what
do they do with their ill-gotten wealth?
These questions are often asked the
police by curious persons.
Does 1t pay to be a crook from a
monetary point of view?" asked an
old-time detective. I'VE wilk assume
that the thief has been fairly sue
cessful In his pursuit, that he has sue
ceeded for a long time In not being
caught, and that he has met with
some pretty generous rewards. Any
such thief, If he will give you an hon
est answer, will tell you that crime
from a monetary standpoint is a sad
and sorry failure. / have known many
thieves, some of whom We're regarded
as the shining lights Of their profess
sion, and / never knew any of them to
accumulate any real money, or to die
rich. Most thieves when they come
to the end of their careers are as clean
OF money as a church mouse.
Probably the type Of thief known
as a confidence man fares as well as
any Of them. Wire tappers. as I'VE
known, have at times fieeeed their vic
TINS of huge sums, $4,000 to 100000
or more, and 1t might be supposed that
such confidence men, after making
such hauls, would be on Easy street
for q long time to comes But such Is
not the case.
Gard Sharps Out Of Luck.

house on Riverside drive to arrest q

stranger 1t would be impossible for me
to meet Mr.. So-and-So.
"Of course, / was not to be 80 easily

into his privacy, and he threatened
to throw me out if / did not leave Inn
mediately. / showed him the warrant,
and he shrugged his shoulders resign
edly. .All right he said, since the
law Is with you I'll accompany you
without any fuss I gave him an OPP
portunity to pack up a few necessary
belongings. The fellow was a card
sharp He had recently returned from
Palm Beach, where he. said he had
been posing as a Wealthy idler and hob
nobbing with millfonaires. He had
made a little money out OF his adven-
ture-a few thousands-but be was
rather disguised at his poor luck.
"Card sharps used to work the big
ocean liners, and for a time they did
fairly well. But too many complaints
were made against them and they were
forbidden to go aboard the big steam
ships. The same experience happened
to them on the fast transcontinental
express trains and at the big hotels.
They discovered that they were
marked men, and that they were
barred everywhere they went. They
became SO reduced to penury that they
had to give up card-playing as a live
lihood and go about making a living
honestly.
Must Count on the HSplit."
Now and then a burglar may make
a fairly good haul. He must go to a
fence to dispose of his loot, and the
fence gives him the lowest possible
price for it. The burglar will tell
you that his is anything but a we'll
paying profession. The same may be
said Of hold-up men who are reported
as making big hau1s. In such rob
berries there are five or six ymen that
the fortune must be divided among.
During the division Of the spoils a
quarrel not infrequently takes place,
and later perhaps mi o. two OF the
thieves. lose their lives. The thieves
everywhere find themselves objects of
suspicion. If they are not actually
being watched or followed, they imag-
inc that they are. The ill-gotten for
LuaO JULIE lALO lAC4A SOulSy anu LuCy
are pretty sure to squander or lose it
in a short time.
"The ordinary thief Is dreadfully
hard up most of the time, and often
has not the price of a cup of coffee
or a plate Of soup. He cannot rob
and plumber every night with impu-
nifty. Half the time he has to seek
his cronies to borrow sufficient for
his immediate needs.
when thieves are in funds 1t is not
for long. They gamble. buy dope, or
spend their money among women who
are not particular about a fellows
standing or antecedents, If he can buy
them food or drink, and treat them to
a round Of pleasure in the city's cab
arets. I have never known a thief to
keep money for long. They realize
that 1t is dishonest money-that it can
bring them no luck, and they have to
spend 1t as quickly as possible be-
cause it burns their hands. They know
1t Is dirty money"

PortAbIe Machine Used.

les.
Portable Machine Used.
'Diathermy is a form of c~onversivs
heat, generated deep in the tissues be-
tween the poles of the d. ssonval
type Of "a Frequency current. The
machine used was of the portable
type, capable OF delivering up to $500
millianperes of current.
THE cliraent was turled on slowly,
the rlleostat slowly advanced until a
maximum Of 2,090 milllamperes was
reached in about four minutes. This
was continued for 20 minutes and
slowly cut down in about two min
utes.
There are at least II different
and distinct techniques in the use of
diathermy. The technique used in all
Of these cases was the through and
through bipolar method. with flexible
composition metal plates about four by
seven inches placed directly over the
affected lobes anteriorally and posteri-
orally. A hot shaving soap lather was
applied to the skin and electrodes. The
patient lay on the ~posterior electrode,
supported by a pillow. The anterior
one was held gently but firmly on the
chest wall. The enthusiastic coop
GRAFTON of the hospital staff aided
greatly in carrying out this study"
After reading over the records of
the ten cases, Doctor Stewart stated
his conc~lusionssa follows:
1.-THE results in these cases are sug-
gestive that diathermy may have an
influence in Fastening recovery In
pneumonia. The evidence rs not at
all conclusive. In several of the
cases the diafhermy was not instituted
until in favorable cases the tempera-
ture might be expected to start down
ward, but it is the opinion of the med
ical staff who selected these as test
cases that diathermy helped in their
recovery.
Remarkable Improvement Noted.
When we have had many more
cases to report on we hope to be able
to make a more definite statement, but
this much we do know, that in every
single case and in almost every single
treatment the temporary effect upon
the patients was remarkable. Cyano-
sis disappeared. The exploratory grunt
when present was markedly Iessened
or stopped entirely. Respirations were
less labored and the patient received
from two to four hours Of very marked
relief, in many cases obtaining sound
sleep. Now %diatherIny has been or
dered as soon as the diagnosis is made
in every case of pneumonia at the
Marine hospital.
1T is not too much to assume that
in many critical cases thfs marked re-
lief of symptoms may be the turning
point in the disease. Under proper
technique, there is no danger Of III
effects from two or even three diathef-
my treatments per day. The proper
technique is of greatest Importance.
