MEDICAL BILLS BEFORE SALONS HELD A MENACE Passage Means Individual Would Be Helpless, Says New York Speaker. ASKS FOR SQUARE DEAL NEW YORK, Jan. 31—" Do yon know that there are bills now before congress, the passage of which will render the Individual all but impotent in health matters? That If such measures pass the individual, in the hour of illness, will be compelled to accept, without question, such preventive and therapeutic measures as omniclent and all but omnipotent medicine sees fit to prescribe, and that, his protests will be of no avail?” These questions were asked by Charles Naloman in the course of an address on ‘‘The Failure of Medicine in the War," delivered under auspices of the New York Apti-Vivisection society here. Mr. Salomon sai&, in part: "Our reorganized army will number at least 300,000 men, and with the navy and marine corps and national guard we will have about 750,000 men in otir defensive forces. Each is a potential victim of present anda t v medical practices. It Is not for him to decide—a privilege pos esssed by ills British brother-in-arms whether he shall be inoculated with leeterious disease products. The decision rests with his medical superiors, and be must submit to any medical practice, no matter how insane or revolting or injurious he may consider it, or suffer condign punishment. MEM DESERVE SQUARE DIAL. ‘‘These men deserve n square deal In this and their friends outside the service should see that they get it. Their medical and religious alike ire sacred, the former even more so than the latter, and the enlisted men should no more be compelled to submit to a medical rife which is abhorrent to him, that by bitter experience he has learned to dread, than he should have forced on him obnoxious religious rites. The inestimable privilege of medical liberty is possessed in some measure by the enlisted men of the British empire, and mere is no good reason why it should be denied thi,- American sailor, soldier and marine. The particular evil of which we complain is not entirely confined to the military and naval spheres. Regular medicine is intrenched in power as well in the civil sphere. It is not satisfied with such power as has been flilcbed from the people, but ever seeks more power; seeks to make itself as supreme in peace time as in war, in the civil state as in the defensive foTces of the nation. MEDICAL OCTOPUS NEVER SLEEPS. “The medical octopus never sleeps. What its tentacles have grasped can only l>e pried loose with difficulty. Its proclaimed aim is to make Itself supreme in every department of the governmeut. If you would know what it seeks, read ihe shameless bid for absolute power embraced in the bill for a department of health, submitted by Senator Owen a few years ago. Those sponsors for pernicious find un-American measures have drawn in their horns a trifle and would have us believe that their views in a measure have changed. But it may be proclaimed without the possibility of successful contradiction that the aims of these autocratic ones have not changed n particle, that the only ehnnge is in the procedure. Before they wanted all power over the public at once. Now they gre content with a little power at a time. Let but the Insatiate appetite of intrenched medicine be but partially satisfied and the Individual surely will be deprived of liberty, the right to pursue happiness and, In some few instances, of life itself. The issue is drawn. The individual will be compelled to side with one party or the other. On one side is the public, that wishes to be supreme over Its health,'that would decide what treatment is to be had either to prevent or to euro disease. On the other is ranged selfish medical and bacteriological Interests, medical men of the old school, that would meet the competition of progressive medicine by ruthlessly crushing it out by the strong and, merciless force of laws which have been secured from complacent legislators and which the great bacteriological laboratories, capitalized at millions of dollars, whose disease-breeding products j they and their.medical tools, stockholders I ‘n many Instances, would force upon the j pqople whether it will or no.” SEEK QUARTERS FORVEtERANS Directors Aim to Bring Na-i tional Offices Here. Establishment of the national head- j quarters of the World War Veterans in j Indianapolis is the aim of the directors < of- the campaign for new members now being conducted in Indiana, it was announced today. The officers in charge declare that they believe that there is an excellent chanqe of having the national offices brought here from Aurora. 111., when the convention tneets. A meeting of icternns, whether members of the organization or not, is to be held on the fourth floor of the courthouse at 8 o’clock tonight. It will be for the purpose of sounding sentiment on the question of a bonus for veterans. Officials in charge of the campaign declare the drive is proving a great success throughout the state.

Silk Hat Returns to Favor in London LONDON, Jan. til.—The silk hat, which In days gone by was the conventional and inevitable headgear of the business man of any standing at. all, is creeping back. But London revolts against prewar conventions in another direction. Dinner Jackets actually have been seen, a half doaen or more of them, at social functions in such exclusive places as Londenderry house. A few years ago men might well have been turned back from any society door as improperly dressed if they came attired in anything but dress suits.

MEXIC ANS HIT BY SCARCITY IN SMALL CHANGE Mints Unable to Meet Demands for Silver Money Due to Unrest. CHANGERS MAKE PROFIT By DR. ,T. A. WATTS, Newspaper Enterprise Association Correspondent. SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 31.—Money, taxicabs. flowers, fruits, dirt and' trade embargoes—tnese are certain to attract the attention of travelers from the United States in Mexico, Mexico is now on a wholly metallic basis, so far as money is concerned. This condition has been forced through n loiig series of worthless issues of paper money by various revolutionary factions prior to the inauguration of Carranza as president. There is an abundance of native gold and silver out of which to coin money. All coins above ten-centavo pieces are of silver or gold. Inability of mints to meet the demand has created a shortage of change. This shortage has been taken advantage of by money changers all over the republic. It. is almost impossible to buy merchandise in large or small quantities, unless you are able to make your own change. From 2 to 5 per cent is commonly charged by money changers for converting 10 or 20 peso pieces into silver of small denominations. WITHDRAWAL OF PESO LARGELY TO BLAME. This shortage was made more acute about two years ago through (he withdrawal from circulation of the old Mexican silver peso. This was caused by the advance in the price of silver, which made the peso worth approximately 50 per cent more than its faec value as billion. The new Mexican silver coins do not contain as high a percentage of silver as these old peso pieces. It Is hard to conceive of a cigar store refusing to sell one cigars because one has not the exact change, but that is the case all over Mexico. One also encounters difficulty in buying food while traveling, for the reason that food merchants at the stations are unable to make change readily. Often a meal may cost $2 because of this scarcity of change. We in the states might learn somtTblng from the well-regulated taxicab system of Mexico City. I arrived in the capital at 3 a. m. My baggage was car ried to a taxicab by a licensed and numbered enrgadore. These cargadores insist upon showing travelers their numbers, in compliance with the law, and ! it is wise for any stranger traveling in Mexico to note the number carefully. Most of the cargadores, however, can be relied upon to handle your baggage with care nnd perfect safety. POLICEMAN KEEPS TAB ON TAN I TRIP. Once your baggage is deposited in s taxicab a policeman is on hand to note the chauffeur's license, the number of, paseugers and destination. The policeman gives tlie passenger a slip wHh these facts recorded, which should be retained in ease the service is found to be faulty. Taxicab rates are plainly posted in the curs. Along the route to Mexico City I found the towns dirty, but the flower and fruit stands sumptuously stocked. Uriees for fruit and flowers are so ridiculously low’ iu comparison with prices in th states that one is tempted to lay in a ridiculously oversupply. One can buy a bouquet of roses as big around as a bushel basket for 30 cents, American money. I found considerable dissatisfaction throughout Mexico with the embargo against Mexican citrous fruit. Large quantities of oranges, limes nnd lemons are raised in Mexjco. The quality of this fruit is excellent. The excuse for the embargo Is that the germ of a blight that is fatal to citrous fruits might be brought into the United States if markets were opened to the Mexicans. I am told, however. on reliable authority, that this danger is more Imaginary than real. I found strong sentiment everywhere for the lifting of the embargo and a similar embargo against cotton. MEXICANS DISLIKE EXPORT TO EUROPE. Mexicaus do not relish exporting their fruit and cotton to European markets. Their European trade, while lucrative, entails waiting ou an average of eight months for their money. If Mexican fruit and cotton were exported to the United States, most of the pay for them would flow back to Mexico in the form of American goods of all descriptions, and the whole transaction would only take from thirty to ninety days, as ngalnst the eight months’ period now consumed for European exchange. Given a chance for quick exchange of goods in United States markets, and an adequate supply of money that would eliminate the exorbitant charges made by money changers, business would undoubtedly be on a tremendous boom in Mexico in a very short time, A further stimulus to prosperity in Mexico may bo found in a Mexican embargo on the export of silver to the orient. The demand of the orient for silver money is constant nnd the largest in the world. The temptation to ship Mexican silver to China, for example, has been go great that the government has found difficulty at times in getting all the silver bullion it needed for its mints. SIPE FREED IN MILITI A CASE Richard V. Sipe, county clerk of Marion county, will not have to serve five days at hard labor on the penal farm on orders of an Indiana state militia courtmartial, because the court-martial failed to take the required oath before trying SipO. This was decided yesterday by Judge Louis B. Kwbank of circuit court, in Rope's writ of habeas corpus case against Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith and other officers of the state militia. Judge Ewbank did not rule on the legality of the state militia, which wns attacked by counsel for Mr. Sipe, who alleged that no law existed under which It could be organized. The court based his opinion on the grounds that the oath, which is required by law to be administered to the Judge advocate and other members of the courtmartial, was not given. "Even assuming that the Indiana State j Militia was and is a lawful organization ! and thnt the petitioner, Richard V. Sipe, was duly enlisted as a member of It,” the ! court said, ‘‘and that a proper order was made convoking the court-martial re- | ferretl to in the return to this writ, wlthj out undertaking to decide that any of | them were or were not lawful and regnj lar, it is still true that the members of I the court martial and the Judge advoi cate wholly failed and omitted to take I the oath prescribed by the statute, the ! taking of which is absolutely essential to the lawful organization of a court-mar- ! tlal under the laws of Indiana, but that j they respectively took oaths which were wholly different in substance from the i prescribed oaths.” | Judge Ewbank held that the failure ! to take the required oath "could not nnd | did not” give the court-martial “crim- ! inal jurisdiction.” The court held ibat the writ of the | state does not constitute a sufficient j cause for arrest and the detention of | Sipe. j Attorney White, -epresenting the t---j torney general's office, said that the slate I would “protect its rights’.' nnd '.ntjUuatert k*tat an appeal will cl oe taken.”

WOMEN INSIST ON RECOGNITION IN WORLD PACT British Suffrage Leader Says Shackles Must Be Taken From All Females. EAST BIGGEST PROBLEM LONDON, Jan. 31. —“The league of nations has got to fully recognize the woman suffrage movement in every way or the women of the world will have to take drastic and telling action.” This was the declaration made by Miss Chrystal Macmillan, first recording secretary of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, on her return from Spain, where she has been for the purpose of arranging for the international convention of the organization next May. This will he the first international convention held since a year before the world war. and in the meantime many changes have occurred, several countries having granted full or partial suffrage to both sexes. WOMEN DENIED IN SOME COUNTRIES, “In spite of the fact that many of the countries of the world have granted equal rights to women,” continued Miss Macmillan, “it is a fact that there are many so called Intelligent nations which deny equal rights to us. Spain, Italy and France in this hemisphere and all the South American nations in the western world refuse to recognize the right of women to have an equal decision with the men in vital matters of social or political Interest. This Is going to be altered and all the energies of the Woman Suffrage Alliance are going to be devoted to seeing that these nations, together with China and Japan, give -us what we should have. “After seven years the International alliance Is going to hold Its full convention in Madrid, from May 2 to May 8. inclusive. This meeting, held at so critical a period of the women’s movement, and the first after so many years of separation, is of supreme importance. Since our last convention, held at Budapest In 1913, thirteen new countries have given the suffrage to women, but many still remain in darkness, WOMEN OF EAST STILL “PRISONERS.” “There are also the women of the east, for many of whom the work of emancipation lias hardly begun. Even in the countries which have the suffrnge for women there is much to be done, for in no country does there exist an equal moral standard, full economic opportunities or equality in marriage relations. This must be altered and we must—and will—lnsist on our rights in these matters. “The league of nations must ineorporate in its rules su<-h amendments or orders required by the free women of the world. The time has come at last when we can demand our rights and full recognition, nnd only by concerted action can we obtain what we desire. “Delegates to the convention will be present from all over the world. India will send a strong nnd representative delegation, and there will siso be representatives from China and Japan. We beiieve thnt the convention will have a marked effect on the progress of the world, nnd that the results of our deliberations will he studied by the va rious governments in the countries interested." HUNTERTAKES . OVER 400 LIONS Be* Lily Champion American Hunter of Big Game. America’s champion lion hunter didn\ win his laurels In the Jungle of Africa. He won hi title right here in the old U. 8. A., and to date ho has i. string of some 400 lion scalps to his credit. This nimrod's name is Hen Lily. Ills home is wherever vicious big game— American Hons, grizzlies, wolves, coyotes or bobcats—are preying upon the herds of American ranchmen. Just now he is assisting live stock associations of New Mexico to rid thnt territory of predatory animals. Next month he may be farther north, on the trail of winter-famished timber wolves. For he 1 a real policeman of the wilds, and his beat Is the whole wild west. Born of a good Louisiana family, L||y ran away from home at an age when most youngsters are struggling with the intricacies of the three R's. Henceforward his schooling consisted of gaining a first handed education concerning the life and habits of such beasts as mountain lions and grizzly bears and of packing a sixty-pound kit-bag and a heavy rjfle over practically Impassable trails through the Louisiana cane brakes and the Texas, New Mexico and Arizona mountains. At voting age young Lily was as grind a natural historian as are many students who spend their lives In delving through text books deallDg with life in the Jungle. To Lily, a complete knowledge of the habits and haunts of the predatory animals meant not only livelihood but also life —as he has been cornered times innumerable when only his ability to outtrick the Hons, bears and wolves enabled him to get away with a whole skin. On one occasion an enraged lioness cornered Lily w’ith one of his dogs a considerable distance from his camp. Lily wns unarmed, except for a rather fragile three-inch pocket-knife, which he carried. The dog engaged the maddened lioness, but soon was severely wounded. Then Lily entered the fray and despite his lack of fighting equipment. his knowledge of bow a Hon fights enable him to eonquer. A particularly obnoxious grlzzy caused ail kinds of death and disaster in one prominent live stocji region of Arizona several years ago. Alarmed by the ravages of bruiu and unable to track the marauder to his lair, the local ranchers Anally hired Lily to trail down the beast. This bear led Idly a chase through four states before he was finally able to get wlthih range ofdmiin and drop him. During the last seven years “Lively” Lily has killed 167 mountain lions and sixty-five dangerous hears, a large number of which were grizzlies. During the decade and n half which preceded, he was employed by the federal government to collect wild animal exhibits for use in museums nnd parks. It. is estimated that during his lifetime he has saved western ranchers aggregate losses in live stock of $1,000,000. This is based on the fact that the average wolf kills SI,OOO worttk of live stock a year; the grizzly bear nnd mountain Hon, respectively, $500; and the bobcat or coyote, each SSO. j —.

TRUSTFEARED IN SHIP SALES Government Watches Bids on Hundreds of Vessels. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Government officials are carefully investigating all bids made on the hundreds of ships It lias for sale, takiug every precaution to prevent rbe vessels falling into the hands of a gigantic shipping trust. Government officials believe this trust has already been formed, with the object of buying in the best of the shipping 'board vessels at low rates. it was learned yesterday the International Mercantile Marine, a New York corporation, has offered to purchase in a single block all of the thirty former German passenger vessels, recently put on the market by the shipping board. The price offered was not disclosed* Rut although the International Mercanitle Marine is not suspected of being involved in the workings of the alleged trust, and so far as officials know it Is acting entirely for its own interests, the government’s precautions are so thorough that it is believed the offer of this corporation will be turned down. The ( shipping board is opposed to control or ownership of too many ships by a single concern. AGED SALVATION ARMY MEN FIGHT Police Arrest John Mclntosh, 70, and Henry Watson, 76. Henry Watson, 70. and John Mclntosh, 70, both employed at the Salvation Army hotel, on South Capitol avenue, were arrested yesterday on ehmges of assault and battery. They had been! fighting one another for several minutes when police arrived. Each expressed chagrin and sorrowover the incidentSergt. Bates and Patrolman Gaughan heard sounds of the struggle as they walked past the hotel. Both men were battered and bloody when separated. “Aren't you ole enough to know better than to fight?" Sergt. Bates chided McIntosh, when the old fellow had been partially subdued. This brought a howl from Watson, who appealed to tbe policemen and other authorities for a fair decision. They were led away to the police station and later released on their own recognizance for appearance in court tomorrow. Horse Racing Over in 2 Years—Pastor WASHINGTON, D.

WAR ON CIGARET TO BE LAUNCHED \ Theater Scored for Opening Smoking Room for Women. CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-—Women’s smoking is an example of “American degeneracy," Lucy Page Gaston, president of the \ntiCigaret league, declared bese today. “The plan of installing a women’s smoking room in the Woods theater is ridiculous, and a bad example to the public,” she said. “Women who smoke are merely degenerating the womanhood in them. “Women are more delicate than men, nnd smoking seriously injures their nervous system, besides settiug a bad example for their children." Following announcement of the theater innovation, Miss Gaston launched her greatest drive against cigarets. The new campaign will be known as the “twentieth century crusade.” Plans also were under way for organizing an international anti-cigaret league, with headquarters at Chicago, Miss Gaston said. Officers of the new organization will be elected early next week. “77” FOR COLDS Avoidable Causes To avoid taking Cold—Keep the feet warm and dry; warm ytmr socks or stockings: warm your boots, shoes or slippers before putting them on and you will escape taking Cold.

BRITISH FREIGHT RATE INCREASES. MAY CUT COSTS 100 Per Cent Boost on Some Articles Expected to Reduce Congestion. PORTS OF ENTRY" CHOKED LONDON, Jan. 31.—The mipistry of transport has' just unobtrusively antiounced by means of a modest advertisement in the newspapers the long defip/red increase of railway freight rates. This again calls attention tq the interesting complex problem of transport congestion which has been so injurious to the welfare of the business community and the country as a whole. Some indirect effects of this increase of railway rates are worth noting. It is not a mere attempt to make the railways pay, and indeed its precise results remain to be j seen. The natural expectation, for example, would be that prices would again rise, but this is by no means certain, for if the new increases play any part in remedying the traffic congestion, which is their chief object, they will tend to lower prices. UP 100 PER CENT ON SOME ARTICLES. The new rates, it should first be noted, involve a very pronounced increase on the existing chargeg.
