FORD COUPE AND
THREE PEOPLE
HELD BY POLICE

A Ford coupe bearing a Texas Ii
cense was Tuesday added to the long
list of stolen machines captured here
recently by Douglas officers. Two
of it's occupants are being held for
investigation while the third is in
the city Jail following a search which
ended latet in the afternoon.
The automobile was discovered be-
hind a. local garage about 2:30 Tues
day morning where it's occupants had
parked it for the night. The two
young men taken into custody at the
time the car was found state that
they are from Temple, Texas, and
that they simply picked up ride in
the machine which was driven by a
third man. This other individual
eluded the police Tuesday morning,
however, while officers were appre-
hending the two youths and it was
only after an all day seanch that he
was taken late yesterday afternoon
by Officer Gordon Newman about
four miles out of this city, while
walking the railroad tracks. 1t is
believed that this man who gave his
name as e. Cook, but who has not
yet talked to the officers, stole the
car and that the other two passen-
gers are guiltless. Evidently Cook
left Douglas on foot early Tuesday
morning and failing to "bum" ride
toward Bisbee, started back to this
city late in the afternoon, hoping to
make his getaway last night The
trio arrived in Douglas eaerly Mon

BOTH STATE AND
DEFENSE REST IN
BLACKBURN CASE
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire }

Stafford, Feb. a.-T;ie fate of
Charles Blackburn, Mesa rancher,
who went on trial in superior court
numbering his business partner, Mi
guel Bernal, is expected to rest with
the jury late tomorrow. Both state
and defense rested their case this
afternoon following a 5Smile trip
for the jury to make an inspection
Of the place on the Globe-Safford
highway where Bernal lost his life
last November.
The state charges that Blackburn
lured BernaI to the lonely spot on
the road and crushed his skull with
rock in order to collect life in
surance policies totalling 100000.
Blackburn has steadily maintained
that Bernal lost his life when the
automobile in which they were rid
ing and driven by Bernal, toppled
over an embankment when the sun
blinded the driver.
The jury spent nearly an hour to-
day in it's investigation of the spot
where Bernal was killed. The visit
OF the jury to the scene was agreed
TO by poIn state ana oeIenSe at
torneys when it was declared that
maps and photographs were con-
fusing.
Closing arguments will be made to
the jury tomorrow by County Attor-
ney Jesse Udall and his assistant,
Ralph Bilby, of Tucson, representing
the state and by Fred C. Struck
meyer and Lynn Laney, both of
Phoenix, attorneys for the defense.

CAN LEPROSY BE-
CURED? SPOERRY
is TO ANSWER


This question cannot as yet be an
swered, although not few believe
that cure has been found. 1t would
appear, however, that it will take
years to definitely decide, says Cap
tain G. w. spoerry of camp Harry
]. Jones.
He says: "For many years people
have known and feared the word
| "Molakai." Where is the person that
has not viewed that masterpiece Ben
Hur' with it's leper scenes? All can
remember the stories of doctors go
ing to Molakai, knowing they could
never return, but hoping to find q
cure. Such sacrifices were wonderful
indeed, but as the disease is the most
dreaded of all human ailments, the
possible chanca of finding a cure was
worth the sacrifice and from such a
source has sprung the now possible
cure.
The oil is taken from the nut Of
the chaLmoog tree, and injected into
/ the afflicted and in time most bener
ficial results are obtained. When one
is, to all appearances and tests, cured
he is called negative and when cases
test negative, they are given a spe-
cial two year treatment and then re-
leased.
CAT Culion colony, located on one
Of the philippine islands off toward
Borneo, out of 5000 patients, during
the last five years, some 400 cases
have tested negative and have been
released, but of these over half have
had a reoccurrence and in time more
may At least, medical science has
retarded the action, if i has not
found cure, and is on the right
road.
"Fhe trees are scarce and of slow
growth, and the oil is costly to re-
fine so that large sums of money are
needed to continue the work. The
Philippine government has given all
that it can, but it is not enough. The
knights of Pythias propose to finance
a large experimental hospital and
laboratory for the treatment of all
lepers, irrespective of creed or color,
and the service will be free. They
propose to do this in memory of their
brother who recently died of this
dreaded malady. The laboratory will
probably be erected at Culion, the
largest leper colony in the world,
where thousands of cases would be
at hand to treat.
There are now 1900 cases in the
United States, according to govern
ment estimates, but only 256 can be
found to place in the Marine Corps
hospital in Louisiana.
Captain Spoerry, when( i'm the Phil
fppines in 1922, went as a special in
vestigattor to the Culion colony for
the knights of Pythias and under the
auspices OF the local order, he will
lecture at the Grand theatre, F'ebru-
Gry 8, on the subject of leprosy. He
will resite his experience of three
Gays on the Leper Island and illus
trate it with pictures.
Those who heard Captain Spoerry
in his "Humor in China" lecture,
know that he is a very interesting
! speaker.
No grown person should miss this
lecture. The ticket prices will not
be advanced over the usual picture
show prices and in addition to the
lecture, a regular film will be run.
The proceeds will go into the leper
! fund, the services of Captain Spoerry
being donated for charity.

1T is undeniably true that almost
