Judge Who Fought |, W, W, Is

l. w. w. contempt OF court and all
members subject to sentence without
trial by jury stands charged with
"prejudlcial misconduct" In his att
tude toward the I. w. w. by the Third
District Court of Appeals Of California.
The charge is made in a decision
rovo~sing the convictions Of William
Flanagan and Albert stagland under
the California criminal syndicalism
law.
In the trial of these men, Busick
ruled out one Of the defense psmph-

out letting the jury read 1t, "incor-
ec,.y cna. ged the jury" and made
"other numerous errors" all Of which
the Appellate Court sums up as pre-
judicial misconduct" in its rebuke to
the Superior judge.
Busick is quoted by the appellate
judges as having said in court, re-
garding the pamphlet:
II think it nothing but a reasonable
article. 1t Is not the truth and
think it unbecomlng Of anybody %
offer such an article in defense Of
anybody. The very statement is a
conglomeration of falsehoods and

The rebuke of Busick will lend
strength to the attempt which will
be made at the next Legislature to
secure repeal of the criminal syndi-

The Busick injunction is being at

DOCTORS REVEAL
SERUM SECRETS
Story of Scarlet Fever Re-
search Work Told,

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Dr. A. r.
Dochez, associate professor of medl
cine at Columbia University's College
OF Physicians and Surgeons and DIR.
Francis G. Blake, professor Of medi-
cine at Yale University School Of Medi-
cine, respectfully discoverer and tester
Of scarlet fever serum, told the full
story Of their research work and ex-
periments yesterday before the staff OF
the City Bureau Of Laboratories and
intense of the Willard Parker Hospital
for infectious diseases.
Hitherto DR.. Dochez had consented
only to the publication of such details
as he disclosed before the Socie+y for
Experimental Biology and Medicine at
Cornell University Medical College.
Yesterday 1t was revealed that DR..
Blake at New Haven Hospital had IN
jected the serum from immunized
horses in nineteen cases and favorable
results had been noticed in al. Where
DIR. Blake, 1t was disclosed, had made
lntra-muscular injections in strong
doses the scarlet fever rash -disap
peared IN eighteen hours, though one
Of the patients so treated was de-
lirious with temperature Of 104 at
the time.
The two physicians, who have
played g leading part in the develop
ment of the serum, addressed the
staff Of the Willard Parker Hospital
at the special request of the Depart
ment Of Health.
In the discussion which followed the
addresses Of DR.. Dochez and Dr..
Blake, the possibility of the scarlet
fever serum leading to similar serum
for the treatment Of measles end a
secondary treatment for pneumonia
was brought out. The physicians
present were loath to make q definite
announcement on this point, especially
in view Of the warning Of DR.. Dochez
that there were no ground as yet for
stating that the scarlet fever serum
was a definite curative agent.

ly. is Thomas J. Horne who spends
his life understanding The Creator,
remaking these beasts Of long ago.
OmniPatient Being
Without ownipotence, only with
omni-patience, Horne and two other
men work today after day piecing to-
gether fragments of prehistoric bone;
making manifest with infinite care
the story Of life; gathering together
the precious fragments from which
the real story of the world will some
day be written.
Right now, Horne is doing a piece
Of modern" work-putting together
the shell Of a turtle only about 200 900
years old. He speaks of 1t negligently.
The shell is in fragments only
fraction of an inch long and wide.
Horne searches among them all until
he finds the ones which fit perfectly
against each other. Then he cements
them together.
This is only a small part Of his
work. Many Of the prehistoric bones
that come to him, shipped by field
scientists Of the museum, are in
bedded in granite. This must all be
chiseled away without injurng in the
least degree the fragile old bone. The
last vestige of rock must be removed
with scraping and polishing.
800 Pieces of One Bone
Then the bones must be. fitted to-
gether. One skull alone came to the
museum in 800 pieces! 1t took two men
six months to fit them together. Horne
doesn't always have a model TO work
from in his reconstruction. He must
juggle the bones until he finds their
true relationship. Sometimes he must
model all the ribs Of a beast from one
authentic specimen. In some cases,
the other great museums OF the world
already possessing similar skeletons,
send a cast or photograph to aid
the reconstruction.
Still, that's not half Of 1t. Before the
skeletons are ready for exhibition, they
must be made firm by iron rods welded
and bent to make invisible supports
This is hard as we'll as patient work

LONDON, Jan. 25.-Britain's new

with an amazingly favorable re

Even the most conservative papers
reluctantly admit 'it might have been

The favorable reception given the
Macdonald government is amazing be-
cause it is really a unique govern
ment.
Raised on Farm
Premier Macdonald himself is the
product of a twO-room cottage and
village school He was raised by his
grandmother and was called eff the
farm to be a school teacher.
Arthur Henderson, home secretary,
began life an iron moulder's ap-
prentice.
J. H. Thomas, colonial secretary,
was first errand boy and then engine
cleaner, fireman and engineer.
Thomas Shaw, minister of labor, Is
the son of a miner and worked in a
cotton mill when 10 years old.
Stephen Walsh, secretary of war,
first worked as a coal miner.
Vernon HartshOrn, postmaster gen
eral, began as coal miner, then clerk,
check-weighman and miners agent.

F. W. Jewett, first commissioner Of

OF the remainder three are lords,
