LETTER FROM ELLEN BLEDSOE

LETTER FROM ELLEN BLEDSOE
TO SARAH HENDRICKS
MY DEAR SADIE:
I've had some peculiar cases since
we graduated from the nurses train
ing school, but 1 think the most pc
culiar as well as the pleasantest one
have ever had, I am now nursing
d His name is Sydney Carton, and
he got smashed up in an automobile
saceident and was brought in here
about two weeks ago. It seems he's
quite a man IN this town, but at
that, for a long time we could not
find who or what he was. He had
nothing on him that means real iden-
tification- until we telegraphed for a
man named John Alden Prescott
whose card we found in the automo-
bile. .- -.
Friends Flock in
Mr.. Prescott came down -innmedi-
lately. and identified him, and then
his friends began TO flock in. For a
hong time he was in a comatose state.
Nobody could understand why he
WAS out driving alone at that time
of night; in fact, 1t looked as though
he had gotten up. hurrfedly dressed
in some old clothing. and started out
for a long, reckless drive in his mo-
tor.
His friend, Mr.. Prescott. says he
is not a drinking man. and he has
had no money troubles-in fact. he is
quite wealthy-and he cannot under
stand what is the matter with him.
Once in a while he speaks the name
Of Jack" and then again he will
rnurmur the name Of Leslie" Mr..
Prescott says that Leslie is the name
Of his wife. and that they were all
great friends.
You can imagine how surprised
was. day before yesterday. when
found Mr. Carton looking at me with
utterly sane eyes. He asked me II
he had been delirious. I told him he
had Jain almost in a state Of coma,
and had only mentioned the words
'.Jack" and Leslie" occasionally.
Asleep
He gave me the same explanation
Of his using these names as did Mr..
Prescott I told him Mr. Prescott
was here. and explained TO him how
he had been found. He told me he
didn't remember taking the car out
at all: said he must have been walk
ing in his sleep. and asked imme-
diately TO see his friend, Mr.. Pres
colt
I told him I did not think he was
well enough to see his friend. and
that he was liable, II he ran the least
temperature, to become delirious. At
this he seemed very much worried
and made me promise, if he showed
the slightest Indication of becoming
delirious, I would not let any Of his
friends in TO see him.
He made such an ado about it, that
I solemnly took oath that I would
see that none of them. not even Mr.
Prescott, should see him when he
was not himself.
/ think he worried so about the
matter that he did not become de
urious again. but two or three times
he dozed off into kind of half sleep
ing. half waking condition, and then
he would whisper the name Leslie u
He never mentioned his friend Jack
again.
This morning, however, he seemed
much better, and I think he will be
taken to his apartment this after
moon. Here comes the doctor-wir
finish after he has gone.

automobile party.
Maj. w. A. Brewer, a civil engineer
employed by the railroad, received a
fractured skull and may die.
The Aurora party was returning
home after long drive that climaxed
Thanksgiving festivities.
The Lombard accident occurred
near the center of the business dis
trict. Maj. Brewer started the auto
mobile across the tracks after a
freight train had passed and drove
directly into the path of the passen-
ger train.
Maj. Brewer served with the Engi-
neers in the World War and won cita-
tions for heroism.

BLINDED BY RUM,
MACK SWEARSO OFF
Actor, Temporarily Affected.
Declares He Has Learned
His Lesson.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 2S.-Wil-
lard Mack, playwright and actor, has
been temporarily blinded in one eye
for week, and now is able to see
only fairly with his other eye as 4
result of drinking wood alcohol, he
revealed today. He went to a Mount
Vernon hospital about two weeks
ago, when it was announced that he
was suffering from pneumonia.
I've never made promise to
Broadway, but I make one now" he
said today. The next person that
sees me take drink 1 promise to kiss
and pin rose on him. I've been
taught my lesson. No more hooch
for me-"
The actor explained that he was mo-
toring through New Jersey with a
party Of friends when they decided
they wanted a drink. They stopped
a group of laborers near Summit and
one of the workmen took a bottle
from his pocket and offered it to
them. Immediately after drinking all
the members of the party believed
they had been blinded, Mack said.
All of them went to a hospital, he
asserted. He explained that his con
dition was accentuated by congestion
of one lung, which bordered upon
pneumonia He expects to leave the
hospital today.

WHEELER OPPOSES DRY
ENFORCEMENT CHANGE
Says Country Would Be Flooded
With Liquor Under Justice
Department Control.

Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
Of the Anti-Saloon League, is opposed
to the proposal of the judicial con-
ference of circuit court judges that
prohibition enforcement be trans
ferred from the Treasury Department
to the Department of Justice. In
formal statement Mr.. Wheeler de-
clared it would make the situation
worse, not better"
Saying the proposal had been re-
jected many times "as unwises Mr..
Wheeler declared control of indus
trial and non-beverage liquor can
not be appropriately transferred to
the Justice Department" and I'VE
would be swamped in bootleg liquor"
"To put the responsibility for all
of this work in the hands of district
attorneys" he added, would jeop-
ardize enforcement in many sections
where these officers are now failing.
They could cover their failure COM

WILL DISTRIBUTE GIFTS.
Tuskegee Institute to Act Old Role
at Christmas.

The Tuskegee Normal and Indus
trial Institute, Alabama, as in years
past, will act as distribution sta
tion for the presentation to the
needy of articles sent there for the
Christmas holidays.
The custom, which was started by
DR.. Booker T. Washington, has been
carried out yearly, sending the books,
clothes, toys, Christmas cards, old
clothing to the various colored
schools and institutions which the
mother institution represents. Con-
tributions of money should be sent
direct to the principal of the insti-
tute, r. r. Morton. The need of the
gifts can readily be seen when 1T is
realized that thousands of children
and families are aided by the insti-
tute, and the only means of meeting
this demand is the charity of the
public.

meaning was formerly obscured by
obsolete phraseology.
For instance, he opens the Book of
Esther as follows:
"It was in the reign Of xerxes, the
Xerxes who reigned from India to
Ethiopia, over hundred and twenty
seven provinces" The King James
in the days of Ahasuerus (this is
Ahasuerus which reigned from India
even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred
and seven and twenty provinces)
DR.. Moffatt's story Of the creation
follows:
Then God the eternal nodded man
from the dust of. the ground, breath
ing into his nostrils the breath of
life; this was how man became a liv-
ing being.
In the land of Eden, in the Far
East, God the eternal then planted
park, where he put the man whom he
had nodded.
"And from the ground God the eter-
nal made all sorts Of trees to grow
that were delightful to see and good
to eat, with the tree Of life and the
tree that yields knowledge of good
and evil in the center Of the park.
From Eden q river flowed to water

branched into four streams"

destroy them and the earth together.

TAFT ASKS COURTS
EXPEDITE CASES
Forwards Recommendations
Designed to End Delays
in Proceedings.

Letters have gone out to all. Fed
eral district judges from Chief JUS
tice Taft carrying recommendations
from the recent judicial conference
here of senior circuit judges and are
expected to contribute largely to the
practical dispatch of business in the
conduct of. the courts.
In the letters, according to the AS
sociated Press, the district judges are
urged to adopt rule providing that
when any case might have been
brought to trial, but has-not within
one year, the counsel and the parties
to such proceedings shall be given
notice of the first term of court fol-
lowing January 1 each year, 80 days
in advance of its opening, and If no
action is taken in such cases within
upon opening the term enter an order
of dismissal.
COntinuances Fought.
The district courts are urged to
adopt a rule which would prevent the
continuance of cases to another term
by agreement of counsel. Other en-
eagements of counsel should not be
accepted as a ground for continuance,
1t is held, and no continuances should
be allowed except for good cause,
shown by affidavits, such as sickness
Of a party or unavoidable absence of
an important witness.
It is also suggested that the courts
at frequent intervals fix times for
the hearing of motions and the set
tlement Of issues. Postponement of
matters on such calls should not be
permitted, the conference agreed, ex-
cept for causes that would justify
continuance of case set for trial.
Another suggestion, designed to pre-
vent delay frequently incident to the
selection Of a jury, is the adoption of
a rule by the district judges whereby
the examination of prospective jurors
would be made by them alone. Should
counsel on either side desire addi-
tional inquiry to determine jurors
qualifications beyond that conducted
by the judge, the new rule would re-
quire that he submit the questions to
the judge for presentation at his dis
cretion.
