The victim, Ferguson,

The lady apparently OBJ

and when she married Fer

Millers, and one evening the
uncle and nephew burst into
Ferguso house and
stabbed him to death before

showed that he had sus-
tanned no fewer than eight
terrible wounds.
The murdererS were safe

once confessed to the crime,

his uncle's persuasion and
influence. At the trial his
counsel brought this for

On the uncle's behalf it

LONDON. March IL Dancing
teachers who specialize on court
presentation lessons are working
overtime this Spring preparing MEM
bers of their classes, who will be
presented at Buckingham Palace just
after Easter. Debutantes of the new
season go to make up a majority or
the pupils, and take lessons daily in
their endeavors to acquire the poise
and grace upon which their social
careers of the future depend more
or less.
After certain preliminary lessons
the young women are passed on to
classes where court trains are brought
into play to teach them the knack
of handling gracefully great lengths
of fluffy material. AS the training
advances the debutante eventually
is given a bouquet with which she
curtsies time and again until the
teacher is satisfied she has reached
perfection in the matter of grace.
In some of the dancing schools
there is a lord chamberlain" who
goes through all the motions and
speaking na-ts, which the young
women hope sooner or later to en-
counter when they reach the palace.
The lord chamberlain" announces
the name of the debutante, and there
is a motherly sort of woman to pre-
sent" her.
The imaginary court includes also
two chairs in one end of the room
in which the King and Queen are
supposed to be sitting. Toward these
the debutante walks slowly. with her
bouquet and train, while the teacher
demands rehearsal after rehearsal
until the pupil is able to reach the
throne" without hesitancy or tot
tering.
But with all these rehearsals, ac-
cording to debutantes who have been
through the schools, when the time
comes for the actual presentations
they sometimes forget most of their
instructions, become nervous and un-
certain of themselves. and when il is
all over are scarcely able to tell how
they managed. to "muddle through"

PARIS, March 1.-THE life work
of Drs. Luis Lancelotti and Francisco
Jauregui of Argentina in their re-
searches and their experiments on
llamaS for the cure of syphilis in
fashion by the French Academy of
Medicine yesterday.
A report was submitted by DR..
Doleris, a member of the academy,
IN which it was declared that the
successful experiments in treating
llamas, notably the proven fact that
Immunity for seven years had been
established after an apparent cure of
the disease, was of extreme i'm

added, they have obtained encour-

DR.. Doleris announced that expert
ments along the lines of the Argen-
tines finding henceforth would be
actively pursued by the Pasteur In
stitute.
Cure Is Rapid.
In the course of his report Dr.
DoleriS said he had come to the Ar
sentines' conclusion that the disease
developed In the llama as in humans,
but with much more rapidity, fol-
lowed at the end of about three
years in the gravest nervous phe-
nomena, resulting in death in a short
time. He outlined the processes en-
ployed:
First, pure culture of the specific
germ in human serum in anaerobiosis;
second, gradual attenuation of the
same organism by the applica ton of
heat of II degrees Centigrade and
over, and vaccination OF the animal
utilized; once rendered immune the
animal furnished a curative serum
for the disease in the llama in the
primary and secondary stages.

ments in the treatment" said Dr.
Dbleris. "A cure is effected in most
cases in a few weeks. After four
months this may be verified.

fact is extremely important. With

to Paris from Bolivia.
Prof. Edouard Jeanselme. another
member of the academy, after ex-
pressing the conviction that the con-
clusions of the Argentine doctors had
been amply confirmed, remarked that
general paralysis in the llama much
resembled the same disease in man,
and declared that study and com
parison had given Encouraging re-

ALL CAPITALIST

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. 20.
All the forces of capitalism,
particularly its labor Iieuten-
ants, are endeavoring to throttle
the strike of $4,000 miners of
District No. I here today.
From the headquarters of the
capitalist government at Wash
ington have arrived two "con-
oiliators," Thomas Davis and
James F. Dewey, acting under
orders Of the Secretary of labor,
who now, tho unable until this
date to see any grievances OF
the anthracite miners, is sud
denly solicitous about them go
ing on strike. n
The state of Pennsylvania is also on
the job, also suddenly discovering that
there are things to be settled to which
1t was formerly deaf and blind.
"Me And God"
Cappellini is issuing statements
hourly to the capitalist press trying to
brighten the miners with all sorts of
dread penalties of they break the
sacred" contract. One of his mani
sestoes sounds like the decree OF a
king, reading, Therefore, as President
Of District 1, and by the authority
vested in me, l, Rinaldo Cappelini,
call upon you and urge every member
Of this organization to keep inviolate
the contract under which we are
working"
From indianapolis, John L. Lewis,
betrayer Of many miners strike, is
wiring threats against the strikers and
encouragement for Cappellini.
Business men of the whole district
are appealing to Governor Pinchot to
avert the strike.
The special committee Of the strikers
and those who threaten to strike is
busy protecting the local treasures
from Cappellini's attachments and is
discussing filing bill in equity to
prevent Cappellini and other district
officials from drawing their pay until
they call a special district convention
to try charges against these. officials.
Miners Standing Solid.
The special committee of union
officials, appointed by JohngL. Lewis
just arrived here to make final effort
to crush the strike.
The grievance committees scheduled
to meet here today are, however,
standing pat and demanding both a
settlement of grievances against the
companies and a special district
convention to hear their grievances
and charges against Cappellini and
company.
