Physician Claims
Pneumonia Cure
After Operations

VIENNA, March 19.-Dr. Hans
Siegenfeld of the Great Wilhclminen
Hospital of Vienna, astonished the
Austrian Medical Association Satur-
day night by telling them that he
had succeeded in entirely frustrating
death from pneumonia Of the type
which often follows long operations
under anesthetics. Hitherto such
cases have had a fatality record of
about SO per cent.
DR.. Siegenfeld said he used an
intra-muscular injection of 20 cubic
centimeters Of the patients own
blood. He said this injection could
be given only after pneumonia has
supervened; that it was not possible
before operating and was efficacious
only when the patients lungs previ-
ously were sound. He said the high
est fever and congestion invariably
disappear within few days under
such conditions.

bonds at the lower rate. The $780,
900 is to be used to pay the county's

Meets Dave Montgomery

A minstrel troupe was playing
there, and Stone struck up a friend
ship with a young actor named
David Montgomery. The two be-
came firm friends; and when the
MINISTRIES went on, Stone went with
them. A little later he and Mont
gomery went into partnership.
Their first engagement was in a
New Orleans variety house, at $40
a. week.
Then the two went to New York,
making their debut st the famous
old Bowery Theater. Recognition
came in a few years, when the
partners were given contract to
appear in London at the Palace
Theater, a high-grade vaudeville
house.
Their London appearance was a
hit, and in 1900 they returned to
New York to take parts in Charles
Frohman's musical comedy, THE
Girl From Up There"
They became highly popular; so,
a couple of years later, when a pro-
Queer was preparing to stage 1.-THE
Wizard Of o." it occurred to him
that this Montgomery and Stone
team might we'll be given the COM
edy business in it.
They were; and promptly the
American theater- going pu b lie
realized that two new stars OF the
first magnitude had appeared.

POLICE PROBE
SUICIDE NOTE
Message Found on River
Bank at Oliver Ave.

Possibility that the writer of a
suicide" note found at White River
and Oliver Ave. today drowned him
self in the river was investigated by
police today.
Ivis Chastain, 1869 w. McCarty
St., found the note and turned it
over to Patrolman Patrick Snider.
The note read:
Dear Media: I am doing this be-
cause it is best. You or dad, either
one, do not want me around. After
I am gone maybe you will remem-
Der. Tell mother my last thoughts
were of her. Love-"
The note was signed "Elgin or

Starts Committing by Air

Some years ago Stone bought a
2,200-acre farm in Connecticut. It
was partly to help him commute"
between New York and this farm,
which Stone always calls a ranch,
that Stone went in for aviation re-
Gently.
He bought plane. hired a pilot
and made regular trips. Then a
few weeks ago, he decided to learn
how to fly the plane without the
pilots aid.
He studied earnestly under his
pilots tutelage, and had made a
number Of solo flights when the
crash came that may prove to have
put an end to his stage career.

WARNS RADIO FANS
Should Keep AeriaIS Off
Light Poles.

Radio aerial wires should not be
connected to telephone or light
poles, and should not cross tele-
phone or light wires, Ted G. Brown,
manager of the Electrical League Of
Indianapolis warned today in a
statement. The statement was &C.
casioned by the death Monday of
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer 1. French, IT'S
E. Fifty Ninth St., when an aerial
wire he was putting up came in
contact with high tension line.
"All persons erecting aerials for
radios should use the upmost pre-
caution" Brown declared.
1.-THE practice of connecting any
wires to telephone or light poles, or
crossing the lines in any manner,
it not only unlawful but very I'M
safe. If any radio owner has his
aerial wire attached to the pole of
any utility, they should see that
wire is removed at once, and the
greatest care used in taking it
down."

Wholesome Fun Always

Wholesomeness has always been
an adjective you could safely tack
on a Fred Stone show.
You always knew in advance
there would be nothing in it to
offend the most delicate SENSIBLE
tiles. Fred Stone has played for
the great American family.
Stone was born in Valmont,
Colo, f1fty-three years ago, and the
first eight years of his life we're
years of wandering as his nomadic
father drifted about the West
in a covered wagon.
Eventually the father settled
down in wellington, Kan. and
opened a barber shop; and it was
there that Fred Stone began his
public career.
Practicing tumbling and tight
rope walking in his own back
yard, the boy became so proficient
that a travelling circus offered
him a job when he was Is.
He took it and went on the road
to earn $40 a week, which some
times was paid and sometimes
was not. His brother Eddie, a
year his Junior. went with him.
From the circus the Stone broth
ers went into vaudeville, playing
six performances a day in 10-cent
theaters all over the southwest.
Then they joined an Uncle Toms
Cabin troupe, went back to circus
work, swung into vaudeville again.
And so it went until a day in
March, 1895, when Stones work
took him to Galveston, Texas.

REED Choice
IS Defeated
in MISSOURI
CoIIet, Wet Candidate, Runs
Behind Dry in Senate
Primary.
HAYS LEAD IS GROWING
Anti Prohibition Man Ahead
for Nomination on
G. 0. P. Ticket.

Bg United Press
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8.-Defeat of
James A.SCollet of Salisbury, poll
tical protege of Senator James A.
Reed in the contest for the Missouri
Democratic senatorial nomination,
proved virtually certain today
Collet, a wet, was running con-
kiderably behind Charles M. Hay, st.
Louis attorney, who was supported
by the Missouri State Anti-Saloon
League, according to incomplete re-
turns from Tuesdays State primary
Although Collects support was
gained mainly from the city vote,
later returns were expected to swell
the lead which Hay already had es-
tablished. Hays supporters freely
predicted his victory by a margin of
$4,000.
Wet Leads G. o. P. Race
In the contest for the Republican
senatorial nomination, Nathan
Frank, st. Louis, wet, held lead
over David M. Proctor and Roscoe
Patterson, Kansas City, his dry OPP
ponents.
The tabulation:
For United States Senator, Demo-
cratic (2,433 out of Alp precincts1-
Hay, 107206; Collett, 1891.
For United States Senator, Re-
publican 1888 out of ALP pre-
cincts)-Frank, 66,625; Patterson,
66,282; David M. Proctor, Kansas
City, 5S,485.,
Collet and Frank swept the cities,
while their opponents were far in
the lead out-State. Late reported
returns from rural centers were
expected to cut into both of their
votes, Frank especially, whose
strength was drawn mostly from
st. Louis.
Drys Are Defeated
Two vets appeared certain OF the
Democratic and Republican guber-
material nominations, Francis M.
Wilson of Platte City, who had the
support of the State Democratic
machine, and Henry S. Caulf1eld,
st. Louis, backed by the Republican
organization.
Wilson far outdistanced Alfred
L. McCauley, Carthage, militant
dry, while Caulf1eld was leading
lieutenant Governor Phil A. Ben
nett of Springfield, who was in
dorsed by the Anti-Saloon League.
