I ti i . I ion II ti and His Associates Have gunrrels of tliolr own. New York. .May I I. Whatever moy happen lo patients who have received tho injections of the turtle serum for tuberculosis from Dr. Friedrich Cranz Prledmann, of Ber lin, tho "cure" yesterday Buffered transition from tho Held of thera peutics to that of personal contro versy. Dr. Friedman!!, Dr. Maurice A. Sturm, tli?? specialist's former assist ant, and Dr. Max Landsmann, who opened tho People's Hospital for Friedmann's fi rsi clinic in tho city, expressed severally 'their disrespect for the past, and new incidents ol' the day forecast differences ot* varied and confusing naturi'. Sturm abused Pried mann for greed and offered to tell physiei ?ns and institutes all about the serum, and to supply it free from an incu bator he has installed in Iiis ellice in the. Hotel Ansonia. While he grew eloquent on the etchlcal motives of his course, his lawyer, Jacob [. War ner, filed complaints for him against Fried m ann in the county clerk's of fice for $100.00(1.in commissions for bringing about a deal witli the Els ner-Mendelson Company, and for a cash payment in addition, for ser vices to Prledmann as assistant for two months, the sum to be fixed by the court. The complainant thinks he should have $10,000 on this ac count. Prledmann shot hack that Sturm knows nothing of the "cure." Carl L. Schur/, had?no taste for the new squabble and ceased to be Friedmann's lawyer. His place was taken hy a long-haired, bearded at torney, 'who kept his name to him self. As Miritz Eisner now figures as capitalist for Friedmann the pros pect appealed yesterday of an action against Eisner through t.'ie law firm of Brien & Knauth to co'.lect an un satisfied Judgment for alleged In fringement of Hunyad Janos rights. Says His Vaccine is til? Hot to: . "Frledmann excused himself from treating Seton Hospital patients, when he had engaged to do so, on the ground that his incubator had "broken down," said Dr. Sturm, lift ing the cover from his own incuba tor and displaying numerous vials, which he boasted contained lie! 1er turtle culture than Friedmann had ever been able to make. "Now I am ready to furnish culture in quan tities on demand, ir Dr. Prledmann ;meots with another accident, "pa tients need not suffer. I don't make this offer from good feeling toward him, but for the benefit of the cause. There is no reason for a shortage of culture. On request I shall be ready to supply the government physicians, the Rockefeller Institute, the County Medical Society and hospitals and dispensarios, and 1 will instruct phy sicians flee in the treatment. I do this because I am an ethical man. "There were times in Providence when patients stood in line to be treated, all of them willing to pay. Friedmann would lift their clothing, gi\e i hem a jab and ?.ass them along. Once I counted Ave in three min uter. The vaccine ran short In one rush day. He had in all about ?500 private patients."

J. W. Belli Druggist, Walhalla, 8. O. UNCLE SAM'S WAK OS THE "YEGGS. (Continued from Second Page.) 'blew Its safe. As they had been well rewarded for their night's >vork they all returned to Charleston and ano ther spree followed at Rahons's re sort. The police and post office Inspec tora hy this time were so close on the heels of the little hand tltat had been so boldly operating in the Pal metto Stat?1 that its members de cided discretion was the better part ol' valor and decamped for tho old North State. Kenly, X. c., was their objective point, and tlx- little bank there was marked for "plucking." After looking over Hie bank at A his place the robbers found its alarm wires in such shape thal they didn't ?late disturb them, so they turned their attention to the town's larges! store. Two sal'?s w?.'re found in the ellice of the store, and the lit st, or larger one, was at tached. Their work yielded them not bing, as the cash box was empty. "Portland Ned" and "Swipes" urged their companions to give up tho Job then and there, but McCarthy said IK> intended to he paid for his trouble even though he went through every store in the town. The second safe was blown with little or no trouble and to' the amazement of all a little in excess of $2,5on was found and taken. There was no Ink ling of their presence in the town and they left as silently as they came. Before dawn ' streaked the east they were on their way to Ran delman, N. C.. where Ned had marke?! the town's biggest bank for their next venture. Two days were spent in Randel man looking over the Held, and after all due precautions were taken an entrance to tho bank was effected. Two blasts were set off before the quartet got Into the inner safe, and just as the hank's horde was laid bare to their gaze and within their reach ii black head was i>oked .through the rear window through which the burglars had entered and Its owner inquired: "What you all doin' in tha? I'm gwine to tell on you, dat I is." But before the negro could make good his threat "Connecticut Shorty," who had been (loin?; look out duty, ran up, seized him and pointed a pistol at his head while the others tied ami gagged him. Tho sound of the struggle had attracted the attention of nearby dwellers, and before the yeggmen could re-enter the bank and obtain the horde that lay invitingly within reach the alarm had been given and tho chase was on. The yeggs had a good start and succeeded in outstripping their pur suers and getting safely away. An invitation from "Portland Ned" to visit him at his Alexandria (Va.) home was too alluring to be over looked, so the band separated and "Ned" and McCarthy made tracks for the little city on the banks of the Potomac. . McCarthy soon found himself in nf?ed of funds, as the ten derloin of Washington soon exhaust ed his visible supply of cash. While a guest of Nod he sauntered through the town one night, and after tap ping the tills of several stores he held up a saloon single-handed, and when he crept Into "Ned's" house '?arly next morning he was the richer by $800. That went the way of all the other money McCarthy had -ac quired, and it was determined to make a little journey to Frederleks burg, Va., where a safe yielded up its contents, enriching McCarthy and his host hy one or two thousand dol lars each. A new partnership was formed af ter the Fredericksburg job. and Mc Carthy and "Irish Jimmy" fell in with Charley Cross and McCarthy's old friend, "Connecticut Shorty." A stop at Laurel, Md., was made while tho party was en route to New York. The safe in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station there was dyna mited and a small amount of cash obtained. The safe In a Hour mill in the same town was blown that night, after which the party abandoned the I New Y?>rk trip temporarily and made their way to Fllicott City, Md., about flft<HMi miles west of Baltimore. A cotton mill office was entered there, and its safe netted its visitors about $600. After fleeing from Fllicott City McCarthy met "Philadelphia Mac," (McManus) and "Portland Ned." Tho three journeyed to Bridgeville, Del., where the bank had just moved Into new quarters. The safe was old, the new vault not having been com pleted. A gootl, strong shot of "soup" shattered the safe doors and about $800 in silver coin lay re vealed. As "Portland Ned" had "located" several bank jobs In Virginia which he wanted McCarthy to aid him in, thu two returned to the Old Domin ion and several little robberies net ted them a few hundred each. Among them were several in Suffolk, Va. Ned and McCarthy again had a dis pute over the division of the spoils and again they separated in anger. McCarthy made f?>r New York, and .after spending a few we?>ks there he Joined "Bellefontaine slim." "Fit zoy" and "Walter," and a safe in the office of a big Ice concern at Quincy, Mass., was blown. Several hundred dollars was obtained and McCarthy, "Slim" and "Walter" moved on to Middleboro, Mass., where several likely jobs awaited them. While In Middleboro a flour mill, a laundry and a bank were robbed, and when tho burglars decamped they had bulging pockets, for the pickings had been unusually good. But Just as the yeggmen emerged from the laundry, the last place they visited, they were held up by tho night watchman, who began to shoot before he asked any questions. Tho "yeggs" shot, too, and the watchman dropped with a bullet through his legs. But the alarm was spread and a running fight was kopt up for several miles. In this en counter McCarthy had the narrowest escape of his life, for whllo running across the street after encountering the night watchman he dropiied the bottle containing the nitroglycerine, and as he did so he momentarily expected to be blown to eternity. All three escaped to tho freight yards, where they secreted there se rv es until the next day, when they TORNADO TAKES LIFE AS TOLL. Destroys More Than Third of Seward, Neb.-Others Suffer A INO.

In all this excitement over the high cost of living, let's stop a mo ment and figure up how much we fritter away. Why not keep a record of your ac counts for ono month? That would show you the leaks to be stopped and they must be stopped before you have a surplus bank account. Here is the official record of what the people of our great country spend per year for luxuries: Intoxicating liquors. .$2,000,000,000 Jewelry . 800,000,000 Confectionery . 200,000,000 Tobacco. 120,000,000 ?Temperate drinks .. 120,000.000 j Tea and coffee. 100,000,000 Chewing gum.'. 1 3,000,000 Manning In to Win. Florence, May 15.-Hon. Richard I. Manning, of Sumter, was In the city for a short while to-day, en route to Chesterfield county on a business trip. Mr. Manning, when seen by this correspondent at the union station here this morning, was looking well and in fine condition for the political campaign, which, however, does not open for a year hence. Mr. Manning stated that he was in the race, and was going In to bo a winner. AN OLD ADAGE SAYS wm. "A light purse ls a heavy curse" Sickness makes a light purse.

McCarthy operated through Mas sachusetts with varying success, sometimes making a "killing" and sometimes meeting with dire failure. After one of his successful raids he would hurry back to New York, for the lure of the big town was all-com pelling. After one of the trips to New York in which he had dissipated even more violently than on previous stays in the big city, ho decided to take the field alone. Ho operated with marked success and made a number of rich hauls before attempting to tackle any real big Job. Then lt was that he received a letter from "Walter" calling him to New England again, and as he stepped off a train at a little railway station near Rrattle boro a town constable, wearing a badge as big as a pie plate, approach ed and inbred long and earnestly at McCarthy's face. "Thought I knowed you," said the blue-coat. "You're the fellow what had a hand in that bank robbery here a few years ago. I never fergits a face and yourn ls ono I been lookln' 'for now for ?OHIO time." McCarthy was locked up, Indicted, tried and convicted, and sent to the State penitentiary for seven years, lie vowed ho intended to turn straight and win back the regard of his old friends In Philadelphia, among whom woro some of the best people in the city. willie in tho Vermont penitentiary McCarthy was visited by tho post ofilce Inspectors, and to them he made a detailed confession, as well as giving them information about other robberies In all parts of the country, which proved of Inestima ble value to them in rounding up the band they were seeking so long, lt was because of this aid that tho pos tal authorities interfered In McCar thy's behalf and succcoded In bring ing about executive clemency in his case. Then they promised to aid him to load an honest lit'? and find him em ployment that would keep him away from his did haunts and associates. Just how well McCarthy lived up to his resolutions, however, is shown by later events, which will be told In another chapter of this series. "HUSH JIMMY" GOKS TO N. C.

Dunn, under arrest here for post ofllce rob beries along the Hudson river, was turn jd over to the McAdenvllle, N.

May 16.-Assistant District attorney John B. Walker wont before Judge Hand in the Uni ted States District Court yesterday to move the squashing of Indictments charging William L. Dunn with the robbery of post offices at Piermont. Rockland county, and Ardsloy-on the-Hudson In the Bummer of 1911. Judge Hand received at the same time papers for Dunn's extradition to North Carolina, where he is ac cused of blowing the sate of tho Mad den Mills. McAdenvllle. Dunn, who is known as "Irish Jim my," because he was born in the county of Siligo 35 years ago, (his real name is James Holden), listened quietly until Judge Hand authorized Detectives Drown and C? ri flin to take him on Hie North Carolina warrant. Then Dunn, who stands five feet six inches, carno to bis tiptoes and screamed : "I'm being kangarooed! They railroaded me once to Moundvillo for a trick 1 never did, and because they can't do lt again up here they're Jumping on me South to try their luck there." Hears Detective to Floor. Brown and Griffin closed in on "Irish Jimmy" as Judge Hand said the papers were beyond his interfer ence. They started for the corridor, but at the door Dunn got his fingers on Griffin's windpipe and went to Che floor with him. Drown leaped for "Irish Jimmy," and then Deputy United States Mar shal Jack Reed threw his bulk .nto the fray. For Uve minutes the strug gle carried the four men back and forth along the corridor, until the short prisoner gave way to the 5 40 pounds of the enemy. Dunn was still gasping-although it may have been with anger-when he was arraigned several hours later before Magistrate House In the Tombs Police Court. There ho was held without ball to await the arri val of officers from North Carolina. While Dunn was being arraigned before Judge Hand his wife looked on with -bewilderment. When his outbreak came, she cried that he was being "jobbed" and wept hysteri cally. As he went to the Tombs prison she followed miserably to the bridge, across which she went to Brooklyn. Post Office Inspectors Jacobs and James' who procured Dunn's arrest in Albany on April 12th, said the woman had no knowledge of> her husband's character. His absence from his hom? at No. 135 Concord street, Brooklyn, was accounted for by her, they said, on dl.'erent grounds from the real ones. The au thorities do not, know where she haB been living with her two children since his arrest. Counterfeit Paper Money.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Worth mountains of gold," says one woman. Another says, "J would not give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for all the other medicines for women in the world." Still another writes, " I should like to have the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering women could read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills." We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo tations taken from the letters wo have received from grateful women whose health has been restored and suffering banished by .Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished such a universal success? Why has it lived and thrived and kept on doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for more than 30 years ? Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sim ply because there is no other medicine so good for women 8 ills. llere are two letters that just came to the writer's desk-only two of thousands, but both tell a comforting story to every suffering wo man who will read them-and be guided by them.
