MEXICO RIDDING
HER COUNTRY OF
UNDESIRABLES
Deports Draft Evaders, Fugi
tives and Labor Agi
tators.
LAREDO. Texas, July 16.—Undesirable
Americans in Mexico, many of whom are
draft evaders, are being "thirty-threed”
out of the country by President Alvaro
Obregon. He Is applying that article
of the constitution to all foreign fugi
tives from Justice as well as to agitators
who are stirring up labor troubles in
that country It Is stated that besides
those who already have been sent to this
side of the border, many other cases are
Under consideration, and In most in
stances deportation probably will be or
dered.
One of the men who was recently de
ported from Mexico and who i8 being
held here, pending final disposition of
the charges against him, is Walter J.
Foertmeyer, a former resident of Cincin
nati, who is alleged to have evaded the
draft regulations in 1917 and fled to
Mexico, where he has since resided. With
Foertmeyer came a Spaniard named Jose
Allen, who claims to be an American citl
en. and also was deported. Foertmeyer,
who is being held in the county jail here
•fcn a charge of being a slacker, has been
manager of a large business house in the
City of Mexico since 191 Sand has a wife
and two children there.
The Mexican authorities who delivered
Foertmeyer to the Department of Justice
agent, stated that the man was one of
the leaders of the radicals who recently
Attacked the Mexican chamber of depu
ties, but this Foertmeyer denies. He says
he evaded the draft law because “he
was not in favor of fighting a capitalistic
war." He is being held in Jail here pend
ing instructions from Washington, and
probably will be taken to Cincinnati to
answer the slacker charges against him
there.
Hermann Levine, who Is an American,
and who fled from New York to Mexico
in 1918, and had since been engaged in
radical activities In that country. Includ
ing the publication of a raai al paper in
the City of Mexico, traveling through the
eountry making speeches and causing
mischief at Tampico, Monterey and else
where. was deported from M-xi-'O re
cently, being received at the boundary
monument by military intelligence officer.
He was immediately taken to Ft. Mc-
Intosh. where he is held a prisoner in
the guardhouse. Levine was traveling
under the assumed name of M. Palei in
Mexico’ and claim ’d to be a Russian. He
Is being held pending Instructions as to
what disposition shall be made of his
case
Jose Rnblo, a Spaniard, and compan
ion of Levine, was also taken in charge
by the agents of the Department of Jus
tice. It Is not known whether there are
pot charges against Rnbio in this Conn
ie ry. bnt if not he will be held for de
• ortation to Spain as an undesirable citi
zen. being considered a dangerous radi
cal.
CANCERCAUSES
DEATH OF 42,000
Britain and Wales Show In
teresting Mortality Statistics.
LONDON. July IS.—Cancer has become j
the scourge of this generation.
Tb whole nation has been brought j
abruptly to a realization of this grave
fact by the startling figures published by |
the ministry of health here recently.
These figures show that, while other
less mys.'erious maladies are being fought |
and h"ld. t sneer has during the last forty ;
years increased in incidence by 300 per
cent.
A mortality of 42.000 Is officially at
tributed to the disease in 1919 for Eng
land and Wales alone That is. prac
tically one in every eleven deaths was
due to this terrible disorder.
The nrgency of the peril will be at
once rea'ixed from the comparative mor
tality figures in the latest return of the
Registrar General:
Organic disease of the heart 51.530
Tnber'-ulosis 46.312
Bronchitis 45,543
Influenza 44.801
Cancer 42.144
Apoplexy 23 933
Pneumonia 19.966
The ratio of deaths due to cancer may
probably tie increased to one in every
seven in the case of persons of mere than
-fifty This period of life—from fifty
mitars onwards—ls the cancer zone, when.
■ s doctors know, the frequency of the
disease is most to be dreaded. N
In the United States and Canada In
tense interest has been aroused recently
by the discoveries of Dr. Edward Robin
son. of New York, and Dr. Grover, of
Toronto.
Cancer, in the opinion of Dr. Robin
son. is produced by too much salt (cal
ctum chloride) in sh“ blood, and can he
cured by eliminating the excess of salt
from the tissues of the body by the ad
ministration of potassium nitrate in
proper osmotonic doses. He cites cases
of nr.iuesVo-ied cancer treated by this
method, all of wjiich he declares are de
cidedly improved and several seem to be
Cured.
Dr. Glover, a young Canadian, startled
ill America by his claims last summer.
His laboratory In Toronto became the
mecoa of all the cancer ridden of the
whole continent His remedy was a
serum in a refined and concentrated form,
prepared by a precipitation of the solu
ble globulin from the sera of immunised
horses.
After a careful investigation, however,
the Canadian Academy of Medicine re
ported unfavorably on it as a cure.
Whether or not the efforts of these
two man will contribute to the world’s
(knowledge of the disease it is hard to
state, but at 1.-ast they haTe dared the
score that results fron failure and at
tempted to make advances on the road
te discovery.
FTEN his OWN ADMISSION FAILS.
A ijoart of cooped ‘mule’ whisky,
glasses and hi* own admission that tie
iiad bought the liquor from a common
■carrier, was “Insufficient evidence" to
convict Joe Nowar, 37, proprietor of a
shoe repair shop at 205 West Kay street,
of a charge of operating a blind tiger in
city court today before Judge Walter
Pritchard. Patrolmen Gillespie and
Flemming, who made the arrest, said
they found the liquor concealed in his
repair shop.

MILLER DEFENDS
ACTION OF CITY.
No member of the board of worka has
been invited to disenss these matters
with West Indianapolis, otherwise "some
evident misunderstandings might have
been cleared up," said Mr. Miller. He
declared that the board has not made up
its mind to establish tbe municipal yards
at Kentucky avenue and White River,
although It has been of the opinion in the
past that this central location was the
logical one. The municipal yards will
contain all of the city shop* and store
houses and the mule barns will be only
a small and temporary part, to be dis
posed of when alt departments are mo
torized he. said.
Mr. Buchanan, president of the Enter
prise Civic League, interposed that it is
not the mules the West Indianapolis citi
zens object to so much aa It is the gar
bage wagons and Mr. Miller replied that
the hoard of sanitary commissioners does
not intend to have any garbage equip
ment left at the mnnicipal yards until it
has been steam cleaned at the reduction
plant at Seiler's farm.
Mention of Sellers' farm caused further
expression of dissatisfaction from the
delegation, it being finally brought out
that the location of the reduetioo plant,
the night soil dumps and the new city
sewage disposal plant at Sellers’ farm,
together with the proposed location of
the municipal yards, are the chief points
upon which the West Indianapolis people
base their claims of injury.
TO DO, AWAY
WITH FARM.
In an attempt to wave aside the Sellers'
farm objections Mr Miller declared that
“Sellers farm soon will be done away
with.” He did not. however, go so far
as to state that the garbage reduction
plant and the night soil dnmps were to
be eradicated in the "doing away with
Sellers’ farm.’* one of the delegation
pointed out later.
One of the delegation interrupted Mr.
Miller to remark significantly, “Sellers’
farm isn’t going to be there very long,
anyway.” The citizens, if successful in
secession, intend to sue the city of Indi
anapolis for damages resulting from
Sellers' farm and to compel it to be
moved outside the present city limits,
it has been said.
"I have heard it suggested that West
Indianapolis has not received its share
of improvements." said Mr. Miller, in
opening anew attempt at mollification. He
said that so far as he knew residents of
tbe section never had been refused any
reasonable request by the board of pub.
lie works and had Teen benefited by
many big projects, such as the flood pre
vention wall and track elevation, the first
part of which was done for the benefit
of this section, namely, tbe track across
Kentucky avenue. West Indianapolis is
paying only 10 per cent of the flood pre
vention work cost, while the city and
county divide the remainder, the city
paying six-sevenths of the county's share
as well as its own. he said.
FATHER OF FLOOD
BILL TAKES HAND.
"I was the author of that flood pre
vention law,” said former State Sen*tor
isb Empire. It was unveiled by Miss
Judith Brewer and was accej ted by Karl
Curzon on behalf of His Majesty's Got-
British Premiers in Conference

Zealand; Premier Melgban of Canada; Premier Lloyd George; Premier Hughes of Australia; Premier Jau Srnuta of South
Africa and Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary.
Henry Harmon, “and I'm getting tired of
hearing this everlasting talk about flood
prevention having been started eolely and
particularly for the benefit of tho citi
zens of West Ind.annpolis Everybody
“knows that if the citizens alone bad
wanted It, they never would have gotten
It. That law was written and that work
was done for the benefit of the millions
of dollars' worth of industries located In
West Indianapolis Those industries are
a credit and an asset to all Indian
apolis and Marion County, and that Is
why most of the cost was distributed
over the whole community."
J Stephen' Pullen, chairman of the
nuisance committee of tbe league, re
futed the statement, that tbe hoard has
not selected a place for the city bams.
He asserted that be personally know*
from a canvass of tbe board of works, the
•unitary board and the park department
that the administration had made up its
mind to put the yards at Kentucky
avenne and that the board of works
would not give assurance that It would
not act without giving the citizens a
chance to be heard.
Mr. Miller said that Mr. Pullen was
mistaken, and was supported by board
member Richard A. Shirley. Mr. Pullen
said ho was not mistaken and the con
troversy ended there.

GETS HIM IN JAIL
Trunk Plan of German Bur
glar Fails.
BERLIN, July IS.—"Spectacular meth
ods in burglary are all right for the
movies, but after this I am going to
stock to the safe and sane old-fashioned
lecond-story-man rules,” sighed Max
krndt, after his attempt to rob an e*-
yresg car by an amateur Houdini trunk
net landed him in jail. /
Max and Paul Arndt, Burglars, Ltd.,
conceived the idea of Max permitting
himself to be locked into a good-sized
wardrobe trunk, accompanied by a-full
set of burglar's tools. Brother Paul then
shipped Max from tha Berlin Railroad
station to Spandau. It was agreed that
during the trip Max was to open tha
trunk, step out and rob the other trunks
In the express car.
It might have worked smoothly, exeept
that the Arndt brothers forgot to take
the precaution of boring a couple of hole*
In the trunk for air. Before Max could
liberate himself he had exhausted the
air in the trank and fainted. Railroad
! officials became suspicious because of
; the weight of the baggage and forced it
; open. When Max had been resuscitated
i he stepped out smilingly and bowed, with
I tbe announcement that he was a vaude
ville artist trying out anew Houdini
! trick.
He might have gotten away with the
sleight-o-hand alibi, but his black magio
didn't include a chapter on hiding bur
glars' kits up his sleeve, and he was told
to tell it to the Judge. Max did so. So
did Paul. The Judge told them they
might their legerdemain, with a
i year’s course in the penitentiarl.
