MYSTERY MAN
OFTHEENGLISH
ARMY RETURNS
LONDON, an. 20.—(By Mail.)—
Disappearance from the army under
a cloud, 21 years a “mystery man” in
South America and now ancient Brit
ish court records are skeins revealed
today in the story of the man who
came back.
Friends of Sergeant-Major Greener,
Royal Engineers, have just learned
the whole truth in connection with
Greener’s sudden leave from his bat
talion headquarters at Aldershot in
1896.
The irresistable lure of the great
war which called the deserter from a
remote part of Chile caused him to
appear before a courtmartiai, again at
Aldershot, just 21 years and three
days after he was officially reported
missing on the barracks room bulletin
board. Desertion usually means
death but this court martial had only
the heart to reduce its victim to the
rank of private.
It was back in the days when the
Duke of Connaught was commander
in-chief of the engineers. Greener had
charge of a little yard and shed—
the balloon works—a particular por
tion of the Aldershot camp which is
now credited with being the germ of
the Royal Flying corps.
Court records, yellow with over two
decades of life, show today that some
one was guilty of selling certain army
supplies. It means that Greener drop
ped out of the army world and until
he “gave up” in Manchester a few
weeks ago nobody knew whether he
was alive or dead. Many army ru
mors, as the years dragged on, cred
ited him with fighting with the Boers
at Magersfontein, located him in
’hina, India, Canada, the United States
and elsewhere. Greener’s own story
shows that he was no where during all
the years but living down the past as
a mining prospector in the mountains
about Iquique, Chile. It was in this
isolated rendezvous that the tales of
European battlefields reached the de
serter and the call of the army was
overpowering. It drew him back to
England to face what might mean dis
honorable death.
Virile and erect at forty when he
fled from Aldershot, Greener is in the
sixties today but still erect and sol
dierly. His temples are whitened and
there are lines in his face. He wears
the simple uniform of the sappers and
is soon destined for his further “come
back” in Northern France.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—Salvarsan
administered directly into the inner
cavity of the brain may be regarded
as one of the most advanced and most
hopeful of methods of arresting the
destructive process of paresis, officials
of the New York Cots-Graduate Med
ical school and hospital announces.
Their conclusion, they said, was based
on experiments made at the hospital.
By the method used at the hospital
it was said an opening is made
through the skull and then with „ a
blunt, hollow needle that is passed
directly through the tissue of the
brain to the main central cavity sal
varsan is conveyed directly to the cer
ebro-spinal fluid throughout the entire
cerobro-spinal system. By thus reach
ing every cell of the brain with the
salvarsan preparation, a uniform ef
fect is produced.
No Serious After Effects.
No symptoms of any serious nature
have been noted after any of the op
erations, of which several dozen have
been performed in the hospital, it was
declared. Each patient is operated on
three times. The second operation is
performed ten days after the first and
the third a month after the second.
None of the patients into whose brain
cavities the salvarsan has been ad
ministered directly has remained in
the hospital more than four days aft
er the operation, it was said.
Out of 14 patients who have under
gone the operation, four have been
able to resume their occupations, ac
cording to the hospital authorities.
Salvarsan is administered in a se
rum made from the blood of the pa
tient.
WIDOW WILL NEVER KNOW
WHO RECEIVED THE JEWELS
Assume, or try to assume, ladies,
the mental attitude of Mrs. Charles
I. Hills, of Elizabeth, N. J., says the
New York World. Her husband, pres
ident of an electrical manufacturing
company of this city died in April,
1915, leaving her an estate of about
$500,000. About a month ago Mrs.
Hills, tidying up some precious pos
sessions in her home at Elizabeth, be
came fascinated in the perusal of a
stack of canceled checks among her
husband’s effects. Two of these checks
seemed to stand out from the others.
Each was for $2,475, each was dated
December 1, 1914, and each was made
out to the firm of Cartier of No. 712
Fifth avenue, Manhattan.
Mrs. Hills, wondering on whar. her
husband had laid out $4,950 three
weeks or so before Cnristmas, peeped
into the directory. She saw Cartier's
place was definitely and exclusively
identified with the sale of jewelry.
And as Mrs. Hills had not, on or
about December 1, 1914, or December
25, 1914, or on any day thereabouts,
received anything like any of Cartier’s
wares, she was seized with a whimsi
cal desire to find out who had receiv
ed the equipment.
So, to put the matter under the le
gal X-ray she visited Edward Maxscn,
lawyer, asking him to go into the
thing and dig it all out, or up. Mr.
Maxson began proceedings through
Surrogate Fowler to have Cartier, or
somebody from that place, disclose
what it was Mr. Hills bought $4,950
of, and to whom that, whatever it was,
was sent.
Surrogate Cohalan, to whom the
matter was transferred, heard argu
ment on the “petition for discovery.”
After Maxson had spoken, the attor
ney for Cartier, who was accompanied
by Victor Dautiemon, manager of the
concern, declared it would be against
public policy to reveal such facts.
“This is a reputable concern, of the
class of other prominent establish
ments,” said the attorney. In closing
his arguments the Cartier coupsel said
no first-class jewelers asked their pa
trons to explain their purchases.
“It might interfere with the sales,”
remarked the surrogate, who when
