returned to the carriage and drove
rapidly toward the center of the city:
They were followed by crowd
headed by number of native police
and soldiers repeating the cry raised
at the well. A native on a motor
cycle stopped the carriage and the
increasing mob surrounded it.
Maj. Imbrie vigorously defended
himself. He was dragged from the
carriage, but managed to run to the
south side of the avenue, where he
could better defend himself with his
back to the wall. His companion
was dragged to the north side, di-
rectly in front of the entrance to
the military headquarters. Maj. I'm
brie was driven to the center of the
avenue again. where cossack officer
dealt him blow on the head with
his sword. -
my servant, who was passing at
the time, recognized the consul, ran
to police headquarters nearby and
several officers with a group of po-
licemen rushed to the place, taking
Maj. Imbrie to police headquarters,
where the hospital is.
"The mob broke through the door
smashing it and the three windows
IN the place, tearing tiles from the
floor and again attacked Maj. Imbfie,
raining many additional blows on,
his head and face.
Although Maj. Imbrie sustained
about 1876 wounds and contusfons.
none of them was sufficiently serious
to have caused his death. The shock
was tremendous, however, and he
survived it only until 2:30 in the

MILD ALCOHOLIC DRINK IS HELD
DETRIMENT TO THE HUMAN BODY
DR.. Walter r. Miles, Authority in Experimental
Physiology Sees Check to Efficient Functioning
In Beverage of 2.75 Per Cent Strength.

Alcoholic beverages, even when
imbibed in such dilute voltages as
the supposedly 2.75 per cent variety
are unquestionably detrimental to
the efficient functioning of the hu-
man body, both mentally and
physically.
DR.. Walter r. Miles, widely known
authority on experimental psychol-
ogy and physiology, is the author
of this Information, and his con-
clusions have been reached only
after the completion of a series of
carefully executed experiments with
human subjects at the Nutrition Lab
oratory of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington.
Experiments Begun in 1915.
These experiments were begun in
1915 by studying the influence of
moderate quantities of IA to 90 per
cent beverages on the speed and
quality of work in typewriting, and
further experiments. in which the
very dilute alcoholic drinks were
used, followed the entire series of
tests covering much of the period
when the vets and drys were at odds
regarding the potential possibilities
of 2.75 per cent beer
Although DR.. Miles experiments
were not completed until after the
Supreme Court had declared such
varieties of drinks Intoxicating" the
results he obtained are accepted as
forever settling that much mooted
question. Half a dozen young men,
expert typists used to moderate drink

JGHT HE POISONED WELL
Persian Natives Aroused by Priest
Against Maj. Imbrie.
y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August 25.-
A detailed story of the death of Maj.
Robert Imbrie, acting American con-
sui at Teheran, Persia, killed July 1S
by a fanatieal mob, has been sent by
DR.. H P. Hackard, his physician, in
. a letter to George K End, Imbrie's
buddy" during the World War.
Dr. Hackard attended Maj. Imbrie
in Teheran hospital where he was
taken after being beaten unconscious
by the mob, which thought he had
poisoned a sacred well. The crowd
smashed its way into the hospital to
renew the attack as Maj. Imbrie lay
dying, DR.. Hackard said.
'At a sacred well, near the center
Of the city," the letter said, "Mussul-
men had been performing extraordi-
nary feats ef fanaticism for several
days.
"It was reported that on Friday,
July IS (the holy day of the Mo-
hammedan), the exhibition at the
sacred we'll would be especially in
teresting.
Shortly before 10 am. Maj. I'm
brie, with Melvin Seymour, an Amer
lean, and a native servant went, to
the well in an Open carriage. The
exact details as to what happened
after they approached the well are
not clear, but 1t is reported that a
Mohammedan priest suddenly cried

ing, and all in excellent physical
condition, were employed for the
tests.
Mistakes Reach so Per Cent.
After extensive, we'll checked ex-
periments, it was found that when
the beverages contained the coveted
spirits the men. made about so per
cent more mistakes than normally
and that they did not write quite so
rapidly. Furthermore, impartial ex-
animation disclosed that the added
errors were not trivial ones, such as
spacing, capitalization or striking
character somewhat out of line. They
constitute clumsy groups of mistakes
that made the copy quite illegible in
spots.
The whole picture, DR.. Miles found,
was one of diminished human efficien-
cy- AS the mistakes increased, the
capacity of the subject for work de-
creased; pulses grew more rapid, skin
temperatures rose, reflex actions were
slower. the vision less keen and men,
tai and motor control less prompt
and accurate.
Result Of Observation.
Although it was found that the
effect of the alcohol was much less
noticeable if it had been imbided
either during or shortly after a meal,
DR.. Miles did not discover any con-
dition when the alcohol did not pro-
duce a reaction, even when it was
administered to subject while he
slept, blissfully unconscious of its
presence in his system.

INDIANAPOLIS, August 25-Frank
T. Johns, Socialist-Labor candidate
for President, in a campaign speech
here today before an audience of 13
men and women denounced plans
for National Defense day, Septem
Der IL.
The Defense day program was a
scheme of the country's capitalists to
educate the working class to a point
where, in the event of another war.
the congestion of industry that
marked the pre-war period of 1917
would be avoided, Johns declared.
The Socialist-Labor candidate also
assailed the candidacy of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, who he de-
clared was fooling the working man
because he did not stand for abolition
OF the "capitalistic class"
The day was not far distant. Johns
said, when the Socialist-Labor party
because of the economic pressure of
the "capitalisuc classes" would ride
on the crest Of a wave far above
that Of 1905 and sweep the whole
capitalistic system into an ash
barrel"

Faker Who Decorated
 U. $. General Jailed

Paris, Sept. 11.-Stephane Otto, the Belgian Koepenick who, while representing himself as special en- voy for the king of the Belgians, decorated an American general in the presence of his troops at Cob lenz some time ago, has been sen tenced to six months in jail by the Paris correctional court on charges of swindling, theft, fraud. riding on a railroad without d ticket and other minor offenses
 The evidence showed that Otto, passing himself off variously as a son of Maeterlinck, nephew of car- dinal, a lieutenant aviator, a Russian student, and so on as circumstances dictated, operated all over France.
 The prisoner has had picturesque career. When only l5 years of age he was made captive by the Ger mans during their invasion of Bel gium and condemned to death. Es- caping, he joined the Belgian army and fought in Flanders, where he was thrice wounded. Ii was partly in consideration of his fine war rec ord that the court let him off with a light sentence.
