Vic Blalack of Yuma still has the
stogie he cheWed last year while
winning the annual Imperial Valley
golf championship at the Barbara
Worth club. He's going to bring it
out of cold storage to do service this
year. Confidentially Vic prefers
chewing tobacco while playing, but
refrains, out of consideration for
the gallery on windy days.

Youth, Alleged
Refer Addict,
Grows Violent
Four Police Necessary
To Subdue Him

Edward Hayward, %, living at
GOT Sixth Avenue North, was taken
to the General hospital Wednesday
night, near midnight, suffering a
mental collapse.
It has been reported that the
youth was addicted to the use of
"reefers" or marihuana, a potent
drug, and this is alleged to be the
direct cause of his breakdown.
Police were called to his home,
where he was found in a violent
state. 1t required the united
strength of four police officers of
the law to subdue him, put him
in a strait-jacket and send him to
the hospital where his condition is
reported to be serious.
Hayward is well known on the
north side and his use of the dan
gerous narcotic made him greatly
feared by those who came into con-
tact with him.

Pair i'm Baby
Case Bound To
District Court

DR.. Waldo Turner, 1856 st. Adams
street north, at liberty on $4,000
bail on first degree manslaughter
charge, Thursday morning waived
preliminary hearing in municipal
court. He was bound over to the
Ramsey county district court by
Judge ]. w. Finehout. He viii
probably be arraigned Tuesday,
August 25.
DIR. Turner with George r.
Viger, white, is charged with
causing the death of a woman who
died from the effects of an illegal
operation which the state claims
was performed by the two men.
Viger also waived a hearing.
Examiners and inspectors from
the state medical board claim the
men are the operators of a "baby"
hospital in the Lowry Hill district
where police apprehended Viger.
Turner was arrested in his office.
Viger's mother-in-law, who had
acted as nurse" for the Hospital"
told Manley Brist, attorney for the
state medical board, and police
that DR.. Turner and Viger had
performed an average of Is illegal
operations per week for several
months.
If Turner and Viger are not con-
victed in Ramsey County charges
will be filed against them in Min
neapolis according to County At
torney Ed. j. Golf.
The case has created nationwide
interest BECAUSE of DR.. Turner'S
prominence. Turner was cited by
the state medical board in July for
similar offenses. He was let off
with severe censure by the board.

OuSly from q knowledge Of the
world and more particularly
matters pertaining to sex. She
was probably Is at the time.
Their only communication with
the outer world was the Occa-
SiOnal visit of q supply ship.
1t seems that q launch con-
tanning . hOneymOOning couple
was put out of commission near
the shoals and they landed at
the lighthouse until repairs
could be made. The wife became
interested in the girl, NazimOva,
and her ignorance Of the world.
The old lighthouse keeper with
his psychological complex on the
subject of sex explained to the
husband that there was sex even
in the name of the island. 1t
was not a contraction Of Ode
CeptiOn Shoals" as might be sup
posed but Conception Shoals"
The young wife is startled to
learn Of the young girls ignO-
rance. She thought she should
be enlightened. The lines were
something like this: Wife-"YOu
mean you don't know where
babies come from? No? Well,
let's go back to the beginning!"
At this moment there was .
loud Snigger from the upper
left box and q hySterical female
voice giggled, "Oh, don't let's
do that" NazimOVa stiffened,
dropped away from the illusion
Of the role, stepped almost to
the fOOtlights and called "Cur.
tain!" Nothing happened for y
moment. She repeated that
single OminOus lit seemed at the
time) word "Curtain!" and the
curtain slowly descended.
As the lights went on, the
party in the box became visible.
There were six or eight, all in
evening dress, and the party
was given, as it was later de-
velOped, by one Of the most
prominent Of Washington and
ChicagO's fashion leaders. I
don't give the name for reasons
which, obvious or not, are good
ones. They had probably been
dining rather well before the
theater.
RUDE PARTY REBUKED
The act was cut short and we
rather expected that it would be
finished, but it wasn't. During
the intermiSSiOn, the outraged
L. StOddard Taylor visited the
box and evidently asked the
party to leave, but this was as
evidently declined. The inter-
mission seemed an almost inter-
minable one. Finally the lights
were lowered and there was the
usual hush awaiting the cur
tain'S rise. But it didn't. Then
the electrician flashed ON the
