Case
"IHCAOo. Sept. HTtie- health de
partment of the city has won Its fight
for pure soda water. This was made
evident this mornlnit when a petition
for a writ of Injunction filed by Meyer
Ktsher. a manufacturer of soda water
at iai-1 West Fourteenth, was with
drawn by stipulation. Also. It was an
nounced that the US person and com
panies engaged In the manufacture of
carbonated water had agreed to live up
to tlie standard set by the health de
partment The case was up before Judge Chet
lain and -was disposed of speedily. The
difficulties of both sides. It was an
nounced, had been amicably settled out
of court.
It. tJottfried Koehler. chief deputy
health commissioner; Clarence N. Boord.
assistant corporation counsel, and At
torney Harry ". lvlnson. who repre
sented the oda water Interests, were
the principal agents that brought about
the settlement. .
The Meyer ease was said to be a test
case brought In tlie Interest of the
manufacturers. Inspectors of the health
department had been engaged In an In
vestigation, a result of which was the
discovery by city chemists of quantities
of lead In the samples. It was agreed,
as a basis for the witndrawal of the
suit. that If certain appreciable
amounts of lead are discovered In soda
water hereafter the machinery or ap
paratus from which such lead Is dis

HYPNOSIS MAY BE CURE
.Patient long Paraljzol .May Gain
Vo of I.CES by SuRSCStlon.
NEW TOr.K. Sept. 14. The gradual
creation of a good, serviceable pair of
legs out of two Inert ribbons of gristle
is the claim put forth by Pr. Alfred J.
Kox for his hypnosis treatment of Con
rad Schaumherg. To all Intents and
purposes Conrad had no legs at all last
March. Instead he possessed two life
less members, blue and cold, not devel
oped In girth beyond the le of a
child's at S years of age. Conrad
Schaumherg Is 2 years old. and for 13
years was a helpless cripple. When he
was 3 years old he was stricken with
cerebro-spinal meningitis. which left
litnt paralysed from his hips down.
The patient was seen at the room of
lr. Vox. The legs were no longer blue:
they were pink and warm with blood.
And he could bend them and lift them,
and even support the bulk of his ath
letic trunk n them by balancing him
self with a finger resting on the bu
reau. lr. Fox said the left leg; had In
creased an nch and a half In circum
ference since his treatment began last
March and the right leg about an Inch.
Unconsidered the cure half complet
ed, and prophesied that In six months
Conrad Shaumber would be walking;
about like an ordinary citizen.

cient to Perform Work.
LOXIhDN. Sept. II. liniescme testi
mony offered by a surgical expert oc
cupied all of today In the trial of Dr.
Crippen. The witness, who was called
by the prosecution, was Professor Au
gustus J. Pepfer, pathologist of the
University of London. An important
feature of his testimony was the dec
laration that the body found In the
cellar of the Hilldrop Crescent home
was rut to pieces by a hand skilled In
surgery.
Dr. Tepper said that the body un
doubtedly was that of a human. No
bones were found. It had been burled
not less than four months or more than
eight. The sex was not discoverable.
The witness identified particularly a
piece of flesh, six or seven Inches in
size, as coming from the abdominal
wall. It bore a scar, which, in his
opinion, was undoubtedly left by a
wound front an operation. He was
closely questioned regarding the scar.
and Newton tried to make out that
what appeared as a scar might be
merely an overlapping of the skin.
"That suggestion Is fantastical." ex
plained the witness.
Solicitor Newton suggested that a
specialist in the ear, nose and eye, like
Iir. Crippen, would not necessarily be
ble to separate the members of a
body adroitly. Professor Pepper said
that such a specialist as counsel da
scribed would have a general anatom
ical knowledge. Newton was keen in
seeking admissions from the patholo
gist and frequently exhibited heat when
the witness refused to answer "yes"
or no without qualifying his replies.
Counsel Intimated that Uoctors Wall
and Tnrnbull. experts engaged by the
defence, had reached conclusions differ
ing from those of Professor Pepper In
some particulars and turning to the
witness, said:
"Your qualifications have nothing ap
proaching theirs. Both are eminent
among their number, as you know."
A brief re-examlnation by the Crown
closed the evidence offered by the wit
ness. Police Surgeon Marshall corroborated
the testimony of Professor Pepper. On
cross-examination he said that a body
buried in clay and lime might be pre
served for years. The witness said that
his Impression was that there were
marks around the scar found on the ab
domen which had been made by the
stlches taken In the wound. The trial
was adjourned to Friday.

The fact that secret service men

leads to the belief that he did some'

Money'ln I.arse Rills.
The subtreasury robbery occurred
Wednesday. February 20. 19U7. The
money which disappeared was all in
$1000 and $10,000 bills, and for three
years persons throughout the country
found to have $1000 and $10,000 bills
were subject to open or covert scrutiny
by secret service agents.
The $173,000 disappeared from Fltz
gerald's cage. Fitzgerald said he had
gone out to lunch and that when he
returned the money was gone. He was
closely questioned at the time and was
shadowed for months.
Arrest Is Made.
A year after the robbery occurred
Fitzgerald was arrested by a private
detective agency acting for William
Boldenweek, the subtreasurer. The
charge was not pressed at this time,
however, and Fitzgerald proceeded to
Institute damage suits against Bolden
week and the detective agency for al
leged false arrest.
From that time until his Indictment
last February Fitzgerald was not mo
lested. When asked how he had accu
mulated certain sums of money, he ex
plained that he had made the specula
tion and showed the records of corn
dcalej he had made.
William Boldenweek, who -1s to be
succeeded by Len Small, of Kankakee,
111., as assistant treasurer In charge of
the Chicago subtreasury, sent his
resignation to President Taft on Sep
tember 8. None of the Government of
ficials wonld say whether today's ae
tlon was In any way affected by Mr.
Boldenweck retirement.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. While this
year s world s acreage sown to wheat
was doubtles the 4irge.it in history
233.000,000 acres it is not unlikely, ac
cording to experts of the Department of
Agriculture, that the world's yield of
wheat will be short of'the higher re
cord of last year 3.614.000,000 bushels.
Yet the crop la reasonably certain to
go In history as quantltively above the
a-erage. In a review of the foreigm
crop the crop reporter of the Depart
ment today says in part:
"On the Continent of Europe, where
half the statistically-known wheat area
of the world is situated, harvests, though
on the whole good, have apparently not
realised the expected abundance
Threshings are pretty generally caus
ing downward revisions of pre-harvest
estimates. Even in countries where ex

plaints are numerous of deficient qual
ity resulting from lodged grain and
storm-delayed harvests.
"The situation in France, so unsatis

any improvement. In Italy and Rou

be modifying to some extent tho boun

ance of the fields before harvest.
"The formerly excellent prospects In
Germany and Austria-Hungary have not

many localities from torrential rains
during harvest.
Dirigible Was In Tse in Passenger
Service Around Berlin Cntas-
trophe Is Fifth In Career of
Intrepid German Count.
BADEN BADEX. Sept. 14. The latest
type of Count Zeppelin's inventive
genius met with disaster today when the
dirigible balloon Zeppelin VI took fire
after an explosion while being warped
into her shed. A score or more of men
were engaged In the task of housing the
airship when a benzine tank in the rear
gondola explodedsetting fire to an ad
jacent compartment. The explosion of
this compartment was followed by the
explosion of the 16 others.
There waa a gush of flames and the
whole structure was destroyed in a few
minutes. Three of the crew were In
jured. Tangled Mass Remains.
Nothing remained of Count Zeppelin's
latest model exceut a tangled mass of
aluminum frames.
The shed also caught fire, but the
blaze was put out without serious dam
age. Several workmen were burned, but
none fatally.
The Igniting of the benzine occurred
while workmen were cleaning the ma
chinery, during which the benzine hold
ers were open. The cause of the fire has
not been ascertained.
Zeppelin VI, during the last IS days,
has made 34 passenger trips, covering
about 1000 miles, and carrying more
than 300 passengers. The flights of the
dirigible were made regularly, often in
unfavorable weather.
This Is the fifth serious accident
which has befallen the Zeppelin dirigibles.
Craft Was Under Charter.
The Zeppelin VI was under charter
of the Passenger Airship Company, hav
ing replaced in the passenger service
the recently wrecked Deutchland. It
was transferred from Frtedershafen to
this place, and after being fitted with
Improved propellers and new features,
made a trial trip on August 19. It
proved to be the speediest of Its type,
and It was announced that It would
maintain a -speed of 38 miles an hour.
The dirigible was reconstructed to
carry 10 passengers and in the last few
days had made several trips. Many Am
erlcans were among the excursionists.
Baron Rudolph Goldschmldt-Rothchild
had chartered the airship for the use
of a private party next Friday. He
had agreed to pay $500 for the first two
hours of the excursion, and $230 for
each additional hour.
Emperor Welcomed Count. -
The Zeppelin VI. will best be remem
bered by Its notable flight from Kried
erlchshafen to Berlin, when it carried
Count Zeppelin, the Inventor, on a visit
to Emperor William. When the Deutch
land was wrecked, the German nirshln
stock company, which had Inaugurated
a passenger service in the vicinity of
Baden Baden, chartered the Zeppelin
VL and advertised that it would make
daily trips of from one to three hours
each until September 30, when the
Deutchland would again be in condi
tion. Her navigation and operating
machinery was contalmied In two gon
dola cars situated In the bow and stern.
It was in the stem gondola that :he
explosion occurred today. Suspended
from the center of the airship was a
luxuriously furnished cabin. She car
ried a crew of 10 men.
The measurements of the Zeppelin
were: Length 472 feet, width 42 feet,
gas capacity SO. 000 cubic yards. ITi.t
three motors had a total of 400-horse-power
expended in four propellers and
giving her a speed of 38-miles an hour.
