IS GUARANTEED id | Paris, May 1.?"If John D. Rocke, feller will spend one-fiftieth part of njone day's income I will guarantee to j place upon his bald head within I three months a thick luxurious grow!y! th of hair." 0 . j This assertion was made by Dr. in i .'Raymond Passot, who, with Doctor Herpin, achieved world wide fame i during the war by mending fractured I faces remodeling ears, noses and cliins of mutilated soldiers. A month ago he created a sensationl by his 01 announcement that he could perman Jg I CII1UVC yy i iiirvico auu uvuutv : chins by means of surgical operai tions. Mary Garden, Cecile Sorel, the Parisian prima donna; Fanny Ward ; and many others have already made r, the experiment with great success. ;r' Doctor Passot announces that he 0. has postirely and permanently cared f- six bachelors of baldness through a J slight surgical operation which is painless and leaves no ill effects. ! "In cases like those of Mr. Rockej feller or Joseph Oail.'aux," said Docj tor Passot, "it will be possible graft ] on hair, using skin from other parts | of the body or from the heads of other men, though in the latter case the procedure costs much more as I have not found any one willing to N part with head skin for less than ^ S15,000, even with the certainty that it will, ultimately grow again. i"It is time to cease treating friv. olously the perfectly natural desire ^ of middled aged men and women not to grow old looking. As a i-esult of the ridicnJe facing any one who wishes to preserve his youth they are forced to visit quacks, paying huge sums'to insure secrecy. At the same n time they are not getting permanent _ results but often incur serious in_ a juries. r. "Now science has taken the matter . in hands and any ordinary practising . surgeon can within a few days ...per. form operations removing wrinkles and double chins, hiding scars and restoring haiir There is no longer t any excuse for going to quacks." e MODERN BLUEBEARD AnMiTc uiiDnrDiwr TWO OF HIS WIVES e Los Angeles, Calif., May 1.?At - least two of the numerous women r James R. Huirt is alleged to have ;s married in various parts of the coun try were murdered by him, two oth e ers met "accidental" deaths while - with him, and he '"might have muri dered more,.' according to an allei id :s confession made public early today e by J. Morgan Marmaduke, his attoney, and county officials. Huirt said he "could not remember" what happened to some of the women because t of his still weakened condition re^ suiting from two attempts to commit -suicide, the reputed confession said. He lay on a cot at the county hospii_ j tal as he talked. Huirt has been held here several [t days while officers investigated reports of numerous marriages. He married "twelve or fifteen women, probably more," Huirt was quotted as saying. A desire to kill d obsessed him years ago. Huirt was aly leged to have said, and women were 5, his especial victims, there being no e direct motive for their deaths, and is no desire to kill men, children or . animals. ' V. Nina Lee Beloney,. killed tyith a is hamr er at Long Beach, California, 1, and Elizabeth Pryor, whose head e was crushed with a sledge hammer i; near Plum, Washington, were the 1, j "wives" whose murders the officers 5, j said Huirt confessed. The partial '"confession" said the officers related to the deaths of Ber_ | tha Goodnich and Alice Ludvigson. a: Miss Goodnich was tipped out of a ; boat in Lake Washington, near Sat_ j tie, and Miss Ludgigson was drowni; ed in a river in Idaho they said. L.! A party immediately left for the i,! place near San Diego where Huirt e said he buried Miss Deloney's body. More than twenty-five marriages Have been attributed by officer! to Huirt. Seven women are listed a! missing. They include, beside th< four named in the alleged confessior Mrs. Gertrude Wilson, Seattle; Bea trice M. Andrews, of Canada anc England; and Agnes Wilson, Alber ta, Canada. The first to die, according to thf alleged confession, was Miss Ludvig .son. Huirt was quoted as saying he was in a boat with her, fishing in e river in Idaho. His memory wa<= weak as to the exact time and location. The boat, he stated, jammec against logs which were lashed to the bank of thp river and he'and Miss Ludvigson tried with their arms tc free to craft. When he broke away, he narratec the woman lost her balance and feli into the river and was drowned. He said Miss Goodnich died wher she fell from a launch into Lake Washington while trying to go froir the stern to the center. Later on, th< officers said, Huirt himself referrec to the death as "a murder." In the Pryor case, the officers saic he asserted the woman attacked hiir with a hat pin and he shoved her sc violently that she fell and struck hei head against a box. He believed she was dead, he was | said to have declared, but to maki i certain struck her with a hammer. I Miss Deloney, he was quoted as j-saying, he killed at a camp near Sigi nal Hill, at the edge of Long Beach, California, January 26, last, aftei -,they quarreled about letters he had J received from other women.
