NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—After a month's | | treatment by the application of the X rays, Miss Elsie Winkler, 16 years of age, | | has Dbeen relieved of semi-dafly attacks | of epilepsy and her complete recovery | seems almost certain. Miss Winkler's case, presented at the clinics of the Post | Graduate Hospital, has been the object | of much inquiry from physicians inter- | ested in clectro therapeutics, From a condition where she suffered attacks on an average of two each day with accompanying physical exhaustion Miss Winkler s now ruddy cheeked and vivacious and declares she is cured. “I would be glad to discuss the mat- ter,” said her physician, “were it not for the fact that before long I intend to pre- sent the record of her case with those of about twenty others before my col- leagues for their criticism. I would rather accept the truths left after the most rigid investigation. As it is I can hardly be- lieve what I have myself seen of the re- sults of the application of X-rays to epl- leptic patients.” From other sources it was learned that the majority of cases treated have re- sponded to the application equally well. A workingman who was subject to four convulsions a day has been treated only a few weeks and is about to return to his work, from which by epileptic attacks he has been prohibited for two years. If it is demonstrated that the discovery by Dr. Brant effects permanent cures in this disease, which hitherto has been be- lieved to be incurable, there will be added epilepsy to epithelioma, lupus and sev- eral other diseases which have been made curable through the agency of the X-rays. A T L AMERICAN MINERS SAFE. Men at Head of Portland Canal Re- locate Properties. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 17.—The decision of the Alaskan Boundary Commission will not cause loss to the American miners who are operating on and at the head of Portland Canal.

P. Cham- berlain, an old and respected resident of Groveland, in this county, and one of the heroes of Bret Harte’s famous “Tennes- see’s Pardner,” shot and killed himself at his home at Second Garrote to-day during a fit of despondency. Since the death of his old comrade, Chaffee, he had lived alone. On account of Harte's book Chamberlain’s name, as well as his home, came into world-wide prominence.” He left a note saying that he had lived to his eighty-first birthday, was getting too feeble for manual labor and would choose death. . James H. Chaffee, who was the “Pard- ner” in the celebrated story, passed away at an Oakland sanitarium on July 31 last. He was 80 years old. “Tennessee” Cham- berlain and Chaffee had been friends since January 10, 1849, and there existed be- TA” T ITATE DERIARTNENZ O TS | LNITED TTIFES - o e | | PUBLsIsED T B VERDICTS OF GUILTY AGAINST CONSPIRATORS Policemen, Lawyer and Politician In- vite Bribe to Save Criminal From Prison. CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—The jury in the Hickey conspiracy case to-day returned verdicts of guilty agzinst Joshua Ted- tord, William Davis, David Dudenhiven and Frank Cantwell. Tedford and Dud- enhaven were sentenced to the peniten- tiary. Cantwell was fined $500 and Davis $250. Davis and Tedford were policemen, Dudenhaven was a lawyer and Cantwell a politiclan. The conspiracy of which the defendants were found gullty is said to have been hatched during the month of July, 1902. Willlam Hickey, a young man, and his mother went before State's At- torney Deneen and declared they were the victims of a conspiracy. Mrs. Hickey sald that she had been approached by Tedford, who agreed to keep her son out of the penitentiary if a sum of money would be paid. The plan was to spirit some important witnesses from the State in order to prevent their appearing against Hickey. ® ® tween them a chivalrous affection seldom known in these cdays. ‘When it 'was found necessary to remove Chaffee to Oakland that he might receive medical aid, the men were broken-heart- ed. and it was predicted at that time that Chamberlain could not long endure his life of sorrow and lonelinéss. MGENT STATE OF BLAGKSMITH 5 UNEARTHED Special Cable to The Call ‘and New York Herald. Copyright, 1903, by the New York | Herald Publishing Company. PARIS, Oct. 17.—A remarkable statue of | a blacksmith of the Gallo-Roman period has been excavated in Paris in a small cemetery in Rue Cassini, near | the observatory. The figure wears a | striped cap. The face is broad and| beardless and the features are very | expressive. It is the only genuine l statue of a blacksmith of ancient times in Paris. Al others are mere figures of Vulean. Under the statue was found the skele- ton of a powerful man, probably the blacksmith represented by the statue. Coins discovered in the same grave show that the man was buried in the year 98, during the reign of Trojan. The statue has been transferred to the Musee Carna- | vatet, where it is now exhibited. | Portlana Canal, | that now Commissioners to | which will accompany it. | ready for signature. That Is Left to the Dominion. ONDON, Oct. 17.—The Alaskan Boundary Commission to-da reached an agreement whereby all of the American contentions are sustained, with the excep- tion of those in relation to the which Canada wins. All emains to be done is for the afix their signatures decision and complete the map On the map will be marked the boundary line, defl- nitely fixing the division of American and British territory on such a basis that no American citizen will lose a foot of land he already belleved he held, while United States will get all the waterways to the rich Alaskan territory, with the exception of the Portland Canal, which gives Canada the one outlet she so much needed. The long-standing dispute was settled only after a week of keen, trying, secret to the the | deliberations between the arbitrators. Even up to noon to-day there was an acute possibility that a disagreement might result and the whole proceedings fall to the ground. Lord Alverstone, though openly inclined to believe in the justice of American argument that the United States was entitled to heads of inlets, as contained In question 5 held out that Canada had established her case in questions 2 and 3, including the Portland Canal. After luncheon Senator Lodge, Secre- tary Root and Senator Turner agreed to cede those points and start the American boundary line from the head of the Port- land Canal, thus giving the Canadians that channel and some small islands on which there are only a few disused store- houses. This accomplished, the majority of the tribunal agreed to fix, with this exception, the entire boundary as out- lined in the American case. ‘Whether Aylesworth and Jett, the Cana- dian Commissioners, will refuse to sign the decision and make it unanimous is not known, but it will not affect the validity of the agreement if a minoriy report is submitted. By Monday after- noon, it is hoped, everything will be though the actual making of the line on the map which shall forever determine the respective tertito- ries will occupy some time. The majority of the Commissioners left the Forelgn Office early this afternoon in order to catch trains for week-end visits to the country. Nothing had occurred which led the few onlookers even to sus- pect that the dispute had reached its practical end. The commissicners them- selves are still bound to seérecy until the decision is- actually rendered and prac- tically few others were aware how great | a degree of success had attended tho cf- | forts of the American members of that tribunal. s & i EFFECT OF THE DECISION. Alaskan Boundary Is Left Just as the United States Fixed It. WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—Secretry Hay to-night received a cablegram from Lon- don announcing that the Alaskan boun- dary commission expected to hand down a decision on Monday, but that no final agreement had been reached. No further details of the cablegram were given out. Commenting on the press dispatches, a high administration official said: “While the Alaskan boundary commis- Continued on Page 22, Columa 4.
