BIG INROADS MADE BY JAKE POISONING

One in Every 100 Residents of Wichita Sufferers, Says Writer. Bu United Peru* NEW YORK, July 25 —One in every hundred adult citizens in Wichita, Kan., is suffering from “ginger jake” paralysis, according to an article by William G. Shepherd in the current issue of Collier's Magazine. “This disease,” he writes,” is not peculiar to Kansas. Among the Negroes and poor white people of Mississippi it has ruined the lives of more than 8,000 persons by official count of federal prohibition officials. The federal count of victims in Kentucky is about 1.000 cases; in Louisiana about 1,000 cases; in southern Tennessee, 800 cases; in Georgia from 300 to 400 cases. James M. Doran, former federal prohibition commissioner, estimated there are now 15,000 cases in the country.” The paralysis is described as depriving its victim of the use of his fingers and feet. The article charges that drinkers bought the Jamaica ginger in Wichita drug stores and had it mixed wiih soft drinks at the soda fountain. One of the victims of the paralysis is quoted as follows: “In the drug store that I used to go into I’d see boys and girls sitting in the side booths drinking jake by the bottle, mixed up with other drinks. No one was stopping them and the druggist would keep on selling it to them until they staggered out drunk.”

She declared she had acted in self-defens*- when Hopkins became angered and cursed her because h* misunderstood her friendly exchange of “baas” with her lamb.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RELATIVES SEE WOMANSTARVE Look on as Victim Slowly Dies of Food Lack. Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 26.—Two men who, police charge, watched disinterestedly at the bedside of a woman relative while she slowly starved to death, were held today for examination at the psychopathic ward of the county hospital. Police broke through the door of Jacob Pfeiffer’s home Thursday night and found Miss Dina Schreimer, 55, gasping for breath in a bundle of rags on a bed. Pfeiffer, 78, and Joseph Shea, 37, sat near by, silent, morose figures. Miss Schreimer was taken to the county hospital, where she died early today, apparently a victim, Dr. S. O. Myerson sad, of slow starvation. “She weighed only thirty-eight pounds,” Dr. Myerson said. “A woman of her height and age should weigh about 150 pounds.” Miss Schreimer was an aunt of Shea and sister-in-law of Pfeiffer. They admitted they had watched her die, but said she refused to take food. She had been without food for months, they said. Pfeiffer was released several months ago from the asylum for the insane at Kankakee, police said.

JUDGE FREES ‘STRIP’ DANCER IN NUDITY CASE Pom Pom Her Only Garb, but Police Sergeant Not Offended, He Says. A pom-pom that stood between Miss Mildred Wood in the flesh and a burlesque audience Tuesdayjugnt, today was her hero of a brush with a police morals squad. Because of it Judge Clifton R. Cameron acauiried her of public indecency charges in municipal court three Friday. Sergeant John Welch, who arrested the dancer as she left the stage, testified that a scarf was flung from her shoulders before she left the stage, leaving Miss Wood attired only m the pompom. Sergeant Wasn’t Offended ‘'Were you offended ai that?” queried an attorney. Contrary to the reply of a colleague on che New York police force who viewed the more aristocratic “Vanities” sponsored by Earl Carroll. Sergeant Welch rejoined: “Why, no. I wasn’t offended.” As Judge Cameron scanned a) law volume in search of the public indecency statute, he remarked that the officer couldn’t well have been offended at that display, inasmuch as it was little more than could be seen on streets or bathing beaches daily. Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney, hearing the verdict, at first expressed doubt whether his squads would pay further attention to nudity on the burles-ue stage. Why Be Chumps? “Why should we make chumps at ourselves?” he asked. “If they want; nakedness in Indianapolis, I suppose they’re going to get it.” Later he modified his statements. “We may arrest them, and let courts acquit them if complaints ara made. I wish the persons who make complaints would come to court to testify and show that public sentiment is against such performances.”
