ASSAULT CHARGE
AGAINST JAMES AUSTIN
A. S. Koch has made application
fore Judge Munley charging James
Austin with assault and battery. It
is understood that the warrant will
be granted. The question is rather
serious and will no doubt develop in
other charges against the marshal’s
office. The Times has interviewed
Mr. Koch on the subject and it seems
that owing to the disturbance caused
by a common drunk at the Riverside
Inn last night the marshal’s office
was notified and asked to arrest the
disturber. No attention was paid to
the request and later Mrs. Koch per
sonally visited the office and was re
ceived uncivilly. Mr. Koch was call
ed from the Empress theatre and
upon hearing the reception accorded
his mother, went to the marshal's of
fice for an explanation and was threat
ened with arrest and also hit on the
arm with a billy.—Anchorage Times.
Boat Sacked Under Steamer.

With due regard to the doctors,

AUTOMOBILE BLAMED FOR
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
CINCINNATI, Nov. 11.—Automo
biles not germs are the blame for the
epidemic of infantile paralysis that
has swept the country.
"Infantile paralysis is due to chemi
cal agents, namely, gases and fumes
given off in the atmosphere by the
combustion of oils and fluids used in
automobiles," declared Dr. Thomas F. j
Hartlngton. "Cases of gds and fume |
poisonings and cases of infantile para-1
lysis agree in every essential.
"In infantile paralysis we are deal
ing with a chemical agent and not a
micro-organism," he said. “Infants
and old persons are not susceptible
to the malady. The prevalence of in
fantile form dates from the introduc
tion and wide use of the automobile."
AN ATTEMPT ON THE

This is the first authentic report of
the incident in which Queen Marie

hands of an assassin. The man was
