Finally the pangs of hunger became so great Rupp left and at Pennsylvania and Sut- ton avenues found his wife exhorting an enthusiastic crowd to battle for wom- en's rights. *““Maria,”’ called Rupp, pushing through the crowd, “come home and get my sup- per. I am hungry.” “Be quiet, Lawrence,” urged Mrs. Rupp, but Lawrence wouldn’t. He want- ed his supper and he was going to get it whether women got the vote or not. The meeting broke up in laughter and Mrs. Rupp made a bee line for a police station. “There's a man out there,”’ she told Lieut. Duffy, “and I want him arrested. ‘He's been annoying me and _ following me for a long time.’’ Duffy call a policeman and instruct- ed. him to #0 with Mrs. Rupp. They walked to the corner where Rupp was standing, bemoaning the loss of his sup- per, Mrs. Rupp took him by the arm. “Now, then, Lawrence,” she said, ‘‘you come with me.” Lawrence went.

Joseph Licavoli, 20 years old, of 1226 North - Bighth street, ran into the Carr Street Police Station at 8 a. m. Friday and excitedly pointed to a wound in his right breast. “I’m shot,”’ he told the police. “Philip Rizzo shot me. He lives at 1228 North Eighth street. Go get him.” The man was hurried to the city hos- pital. Patrolmen were sent to find the assailant and met a patrolman on his way toa the station with’ Rizzo. He had ‘found Rizzo running at Eighth and Bid- dle streets, he said, and asked him what he was running for. ‘“T shot a man, and I hope I made a g00d job of it,” Rizzo answered. Later physicians at the city hospital notified the police that Licavoli’s wounds were slight and that the wound in his breast apparently had been caused’ by being jabbed with the re- volver. He had been bitten on the right shoulder and had a scalp wound. He had not been shot. Rizzo told the police that the quartel was the result of a grudge which orig- inated Aug. 1 when his room was en- tered and the revolver he used Friday, his’ bankbook and a pair of trousers, were stolen.

U.S. ARMY DOCTORS 10 AID INQUIRY INTO CHILD PARALYSIS Discoveries of St. Louis and Ar- kansas Physicians Arouse Inter- | est of Federal Surgeons. RESEARCH TO CONTINUE Relation of Flies and Limber- Neck Chickens to Infantile Malady to Be Established. Nation-wide interest in the investiga- tion of the causes of infantile paralysis, ‘being made by Dr. E. W. Saunders of St. Louis and Dr. W. B. Wisdom of De Queen, Ark., is shown in letters which have been raceived by the committee of the S.. Louis Medical Society, ap- pointed to aid in carrying, the inquiry farther. These letters have come from physi- cians in all parts of the United States, who have written asking information about the remarkable experiments. These experiments have tended to show that infantile paralysis is a fly- borne disease, originating with limber- neck chickens and transmitted in the larvae of flies. Monkeys and guinea pigs have been infected with paralysis by means of larvae bearing the germs of limber-neck, and the only thing that remains to be proved is that the same causes give the disease to children. A letter from Dr. Blue, Sufgeon-Gen- eral of the United States army, ad- dressed to Dr. Carrington of the U. §&. Marine Hospital here, hcs been turned over to the committee. In it the Sur- geon-General says that he has been in- formed of Dr. Saunders’ researches and has instructed the army physicians to be on the outlook for any information that may throw ligh* on the new theory. A letter received from Dr. Wisdom says he has been informed that a case has been traced to causes that indicate it was transmitted from ‘“‘limber-neck”’ chickens by the larvae of flies. He will investigate immediately. The Investi-ating Committee says its experiments have shown that the ex- termination of the fly from the stable and barnyard will be a great preventive of cattle diseases. oulg CheekHiog Cholera.
