HAD LONGEST
RECORD OF U. S.
ARMY OFFICER
Colonel Fuller, Eetired, 50 Years in
Service, and Hero of Famous
Eide, Is Dead.
Leavenworth, Kas., Sept. 18.
Death had ended the career of Col
onel Ezra B. Fuller, who had the
longest record ever attained as an
officer in the United States army.
Colonel Fuller died at Fort Leaven
worth last night. He was retired
three years ago after half a century
in the army.
The colonel, one of the few re
maining o cers who saw service in
the civil war, began his military
career at 16 in 1864. enlisting in
Company E, One Hundred and Forty
first Illinois infantry. He graduated
from West Point in 1873, and was
assigned to the cavalry.
One of the most famous rides in
the history of the United States cav
alry was made by the youthful Lieu
tenant Fuller in 1877, when he was
doing scouting duty against Chief
Joseph of the Nez Perces, "the Na
poleon of American Indians."
Chief Joseph had bolted from the
reservation and was attempting to
regain the country for his people.
Lfeutenant Fuller rode from the
rarnn of Colonel Miles the present
site of Miles City, Mont., to take dis
patches to General William T. Sher
man at Fort Ellis, 3 hundred and
fifty miles away. The ride was made
in five hours less than five days.
WHO SHALL HEAL THE
SICK IS THE, QUESTION
Chiropractors May Not Use Physio
therapy, Neither Hay the Ost
eopaths, Says Atty.-Gen.
Physiotherapy treatments cannot
be given by anyone in Nebraska ex
cept persons licensed to practice med
icine, according to an opinion given
by Attorney General Spillman to
Secretary Frost of the state depart
ment of public welfare. In the same
opinion he states that with exeptions
no one can sell poisons except a re
gistered pharmacist. The exceptions
are wholesale or retail dealers of
patent or proprietary medicines, and
registered physicians who may dis
pense their own medicines upon
their own prescriptions.
The attorney general, in replying
admits he does not know exactly
what physiotherapy treatments are
but he assumes they are treatments
to heal the sick, and that they are
not such treatments as either osteo
paths or chiropractors are expressly
authorized to give.
"This being true," says the attor
ney general, "I do not believe that
anyone who is not licensed to prac
tice medicine may lawfully prescribe
or give them."
Secretary Frost has been informed
that physiotherapy treatments are
generally electrical treatments, tho
they may be given by mechanical
means or by the hands. They are
intended to stimulate some physical
function. He found that a chiroprac
tor was giving such treatments it
Central City and a student of chiro
practic was giving them in Lincoln.
The electrical equipment used is re
ported to be costly.
The ruling of the attorney general
in regard to who is permitted to sell
poisons may prevent the sale of io
dine, paris green or similar poisons
sometime sold by merchants who are
not licensed pharmacists. Secretary
Frost has made no announcement in
regard to the methods to be used in
enforcing the statutes cited in the
attorney general's opinion.
SLIGHT INCREASE SHOWN
IN FACTORY EMPLOYMENT
Washington. Sept. 17. Employ
ment in the manufacturing industries
of the United States increased .OS
per cent in-A.ugust as compered wi'h
July, according to the bureau of la
bor statistics of the department of la
bor. Aggregate earnings of employes

Vienna, Sept. 17. A new method
of detecting syphilis is announced by
Dr. Mueller, head of the Vienna per
eological institute, who told the
Austrian medical society today that
it would entirely supersede the Was
serman test. Dr. Mueller said his
method was an improvement on that

HILL SCORES
REFORM VIA
CONSTITUTION
Congressman from Baltimore Deplores
"Angels of Eureaucracy" Who
Seek to Amend Document
Columbus, Neb., Sept. 18. Speak
ing at the Mid-Nebraska exposition
here Thursday night, John Philip
Hill, of Baltimore, "wet" leader in
the house of representatives, bitterly
assailed present plans to amend the
federal constitution, declaring that
"today there are powerful men and
women who are attacking the con
stitution to place marriage and di
vorce, education, health and morals
under federal government control."
Mr. Hill's address ame on the 138th
anniversary of the constitution and
followed an address given Wednesday
night by Congressman William D.
Upshaw, of Georgia, a staunch lead
er of the dry forces.
Throughout his address in support
of the federal constitution, Mr. Hill
attacked the ISth amendment, de
claring it "unconstitutional" and un
enforceable. "Prohibition," he said,
"is a failure, and the ISth amend
ment will be honestly repealed or dis
honestly nullified as have been for
years the 14th and 15th amend
ments." "In 1917, the Anti-Saloon league,
temporarily in power, like the Phari
sees in A. D. 33, made the only
change in the constitution in which
they were interested, but today their
action is followed by the child labor
amendment and by more of the same
to come," the Baltimore solon said.
Under Constant Attack
"The constitution is 13S years old
today. It was created to make co
herent the Declaration of Independ
ence. From the beginning, the con
stitution has been attacked by ene
mies, some bitterly avowed, some
charging under a flag of truce. Un
til the war-born ISth amendment,
those attacks in the main, were fu
tile. "Today, there are those of great
power, who, like General Dawes,
would change the whole character of
the senate from what the constitution
intended. Today, there are those of
great purity of heart, who would, by
constitutional amendment, make re
ligion a matter of penal control by
the federal government. Today there
are those idealists without sanity who
would by constitutional amendment
place the control of our children
under a bureaucracy at Washington.
"Today, there are those who, in
the words of Emerson, believe that
"commerce, education and religion
may be voted in or out and that any
measure, though it were absurd, may
be imposed on a people if only you
can get sufficient votes to make it a
law.' Today there are powerful men
and women who ure attacking the
constitution to place marriage, di
vorce, education, health and morals
under federal government control.
Hits Anti-Saloon League
"The theory of all the recent at
tacks on the constitution is that man
as an individual, men collectively as
states, can not be trusted with the
government and that therefore the
federal government must assume all
functions of government," he contin
ued. "The self-appointed angels of
the Anti-saloon league, the self-constituted
angels of religious dogma,
the self-declared angel of human
standardization, all these are eager
to govern us. Do we, on the 138th
birthday, want to continue the con
stitution as it was before the 18th
amendment, or do we want to destroy
it by the extension of the 18th
amendment to other and new amend
ments, giving to the 'angels of bu
reaucracy' control of child labor, of
education, marriage, divorce and ulti
mately all local and personal gov
ernment? "For 132 years the constitution re
mained practically intact. Under it
the nation prospered and was con
tent. On this birthday, I say, as did
the chancellor of New York when he
administered the oath to Washington:
Long live, in its original beauty, the
constitution of the United States. "
In citing what he termed the
"failure" of liquor law enforcement,
Mr. Hill said that crime has steadily
increased. He cited Mr. Upshaw's
home state, Georgia, as an example,
declaring that arrests for drunken
ness have steadily increased, being
J"4,ir9 in 1920; 4,941 in 1921; 6.555
in iizz; i,uu in iv-j. in ivio,
the arrests for all causes in Atlanta
were 17,316, but in 1920, the first
year of the Volstead act, they in
creased to 26,239, and since then
have steadily mounted as follows:
In 1921, 27.727; in 1922, 32,585; in
1923, 32,697."
MARRIAGE LAW CHANGE
BENEFITS NEWCASTLE
PASTOR'S WIFE
Newcastle, Sept. 18. Due to the
repeal of the Nebraska marriage law,
which compelled public announce
ment of a marriage 10 days prior to
the ceremony and a physician's cer
tificate of health, and resulted In
most of the couples going out of the
state to get married, Nebraska min
isters now are getting more mar
riages, as many people prefer to be
married at home or at the local
church or parsonage.
Mrs. S. J. Tilden Sloan, wife of the
pastor of the Community Congrega
tional church here, who always gets
the marriage fee from ceremonies
performed by Mr. Sloan, received her
first fee in two years Tuesday after
noon, when Miss Edith Myers, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Myers of
i Daily, and Raymond Anderson of
. Hartington, were united in marriage
at the Congregational parsonage in
the presence of about 20 relatives
and friends.

"DRY" LEADERS
LEAP TO DEFENSE
Church Export Not Accepted by Pro
fessional Prohibitionists Like
Wayne B. Wheeler.
Washington. Sept. 17. Profes
sional prohibition leaders in Wash
ington, like Wayne B. Wheeler, gen
eralissimq of the Anti-Saloon League,
do not intend to accept the report
now being published by the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ,
which characterizes five years of pro
hibition as having failed to achieve
its purpose.
Wheeler declared today that, de
spite the origin of the report and
the months of work that preceded its
publication, it "contains nothing but
destructive criticism and offers noth
ing constructive."
"Entirely wrong conclusions are
drawn," Wheeler said.
The third section of the churches'
report, published today, found courts
congested with liquor cases to a point
where ordinary litigation is being de
layed. Most of the prohibition violation,
the report stated, can be traced to
the diversion of industrial alcohol in
to bootleg channels.
Smuggling and home-brewing,
while important adjuncts of the ille
