MENTAL DISEASE
CAUSED MURDER
"Hypothyreosis" Affection,
From Which Mrs. De Saulles
Suffered When She Fired
Shot, Is Defense Plea.
(By Associated Press.)
Mineola, X. Y., Nov. 24. "Hypo
thyreosis," which he termed an affec
tion of the thyroid gland and which
eventually produces a state of men
tal infirmity, was yesterday given by
her attorneys as the disease from
which Mrs. Blanca De Saulles was
suffering, when she shot tier divorced
husband, John L. De Saulles. at his
Long Island home the night of
11 gust 3.
This definition of the cause of the
leiendant's alleged temporary loss of
iccountability was given by Henry A.
Lterhart in outlining the case he will
endeavor to prove in justification of
the Chilean heiress on trial hire
charged with murder. The prosecu
tion rested at noon todav.
A fracture of the skull, suffered
several years ago, left a bit of bone
prM-Smg upon Mrs. De Saulles' brain
aril tins served to aggravate her al
Ic3k4. mental ailment, he said.
Medical Experts to Testify.
With announcement by the defense
that Dr. Smith Eli Jeliffe, an alienist,
would testify in Mrs. De Saulles' be
half, together with Dr. Louis C.
Johnson, of Johns Hopkins univer
sity, whom Mr. Uterhart termed a
"physiological chemist," it seemed
certain that a long battle in which
medical technicalities will figure will
precede the placing of the case in the
hands of the jurors.
The state rested its case with the
reading into the record of two letters
exchanged by De Saulles and the de
fendant, purporting to show that
year old John L. De Saulles, jr., was
legally in the custody of his father
when his mother's futile effort to
regain possession of him led to the
shooting of De Saulles, according to
her claim.
The defense on the other hand at
tempted to prove that Mrs. De Saulles
sa?d when she entered the residence,
"Jack, I have come tQ take him home
with me."
Sheriff Phineas Seaman and. Con
stable Leonard Thorne, who arrested
the defendant an hour after the shoot
ing, both testified thft Mrs. De Saul
les was "very pale" when they took
in custody. Despite the circum
stances tiTe young woman was calm
"unusually calm," the sheriff said,
"when she was arrested."
On cross examination Seaman de
clared Mrs. De Saulles gave "a
peculiar laugh" every few moments
while being taken from the justice's
court to the jail. Her actions so
alarmed him, he said, that he "sent
for a clothesline." "Isn't this the
too?" the sheriff said Mrs. De Saulles
ss-ed as she entered the jail.
rAfter examining the prisoner the
ne.vt morning, Seaman said, the jail
physician, Dr. J. L. Cleghorn, sent
nira a note, saying it would be "un
wise" to confine Mrs. De- Saulles to
a cell in her extreme nervousness and
mental condition."
Alleged Husband's Infidelity.
Although it had been stated
previously that none of the facts
brought out during the hearing of
Mrs. De Saulles' suit for divorce
would become public during the trial,
a large part of Attorney Uterhart's
opening statement concerned De
Saulles' alleged infidelity.
The attorney then launched into a
detailed account of events on the
date of the shooting. He said that
early on the morning of August 3,
De Saulles "borrowed" their son, in
anticipation of -a visit to his home
by the boy's grandfather.
When the lad was not returned to
his mother that night, as promised,
P('terhart said. Mrs. De-'Saulles went
to De Saulles' home in the hope that
she might obtain posses'sion of him.
He reached the climax of his ad
dress when he declared:
"She saw a peculiar look come
over her husband's face. She knew
Chiropractic
Health Talks
The sick are not greatly inter
ested in theories, but in anything
that will make them well. Because
of the wide success of the Chiro
practic Adjustments in restoring
sick individuals to good health, the
science is deserving of the good
progress it is making wherever
practiced.
Chiropractic never fails to give
relief, and if properly pursued, in
variably results in a permanent
cure.
The chief contention of Chiro-
Sractic is, that the primary cause
if disease is due to pressure on
the nervous tissue, and when this
pressure is relieved, function is re
established. Eighty per cent of the opera
tions could be avoided by taking
Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments,
whether it be tonsilitis, appendi
citis, or in the very large class
known as "women diseases."
In order to prove to you that in
95 per cent of the diseases I can
locate the primary cause of your
trouble in your spine, I will give a
thorough free examination, with
no obligation on your part.
Hundreds of people have come
to me, knowing that the Chiro
practic Adjustments has cured case
after case exactly like your own.
Investigation costs nothing and
means health and happiness. Ad
justments are $1, or 12 for $10.

Deport Canadians
Called to Service
' Ottawa, Ontario, Nov. 24. The
problem of what to do with Canad
ians of military age in the United
States and Americans in Canada, is
dealt with in an order in council
issued today, which has received
the sanction of the governor gen
eral. It provides that either country
may at any time by proclamation
call for military service under its
own colors any class of its citizens
or subjects residing in i the other
country.
Furthemore, it is provided if men
called do not return voluntarily to
the country of their allegiance for
the purpose of performing their
military duties there! they shall be
subject to deportation.
that look it meant trouble she had
learned its meaning through six long
years of indifferent neglect. A great
pain shot through her brain. Every
thing became blank before her. That
was the last she knew until she
awakened in the Nassau county jail."
Uterhart said "the defense will not
be based on any hypothetical claim
of 'bram storm' or 'emotional in
sanity' and that there would be
no appeal under "the unwritten law."
"Our case will be founded," he said,
"on the writiten law the law of the
state of New York, which says that a
person shall not be convicted of a
deed committed when suffering from
such a defective reason as not to
know the nature or the quality of the
act or that it was wrong."
Court recessed until Monday at the
close of Uterhart's statement.
American Troops Move to
France on Schedule Time
Washington, Nov. 24. Arrival of
American troops in France has kept
pace with the expectations of the
War department, Secretary Bker
said tonight, in the first statement he
has ever authorized in connection
with progress being made in increas
ing General Pershing's forces.
Mr. Baker declined, however, to
state the number of troops forward
ed or to indicate whether he antic
ipated delay from this time. Move
ment of the forces, he said, depended
on two elements, the training and
equipment of the men and the avail
ability of ships.
"As fast as they are ready, ships
and men will be combined," the sec
retary said. "As many . American
troops are now overseas as we ex
pected in the beginning to have over
seas at this time."
The secretary's attention was called
to the fact that the British official
statements recently have named, at
least by geographical designation, the
troops used in various offensives.
Apparently a new policy in this re
gard has been adopted in London and
the War department may do likewise.
McAdoo Relieves Huge
Bulge in U. S. Treasury
Washington, Nov. 24. Secretary
McAdoo tonight announced a new
plan to place in circulation the huge
sum of nearly $2,000,000,000 accumu
lated in the treasury as a result qf
the big over -payments received this
week from the Liberty loan.
Three hundred million dollars of
certificates of indebtedness due De
cember 15, were called in for redemp
tion on December 6, and another is
sue of $400,000,000 of .certificates also
due December 15, will be redeemed
December 11, both issues at par with
accrued interest. This arrangement
will leave only the $685,000,000 issue
to be paid December 15.
SCHHEEBURG SAYS
KEEP OLD CUSTOMS
Makes Earnest Plea for Reten
tion of Beautiful Traditions
in Address Delivered at
Synagogue.
An earnest plea for the retention of
beautiful old Jewish customs, thus
binding the youth of Israel to the
traditional fold, was voiced by David
Schneeburg of New York City, execu
tive secretary for young Judea, in his
talk before a large audience at Beth
Hamedrosh synagogue, Friday eve
ning. 1
"It is not enough that you think
and feel your Judaism, you must do
Jewish deeds," he urged.
The importance of teaching 'Jewish
history was also emphasized by the
speaker.
Loyalty to Judaism as well as to the
American flag, he advocated. "A good
Jew is a good American patriot, but a
poor Jew is a poor American."
Schneeburg held before his au
dience the Zionist ideal of Jewish
homeland in Palestine. "This shall be
the hub of the Jewish universe to
which Hebrews will once more look
for life and inspiration," he said.
Young Judea activities would bridge
the gap between the old and younger
generations in Israel, he predicted.
Schneeburg will speak again Sunday
evening at B'nai Iracl synagogue
Nip Little Bomb Plot
In Bud in New York
New York, Nov. 24. An employe
of the street cleaning department
discovered a bomb wrapped in a
newspaper in a heap of rubbish on
a city scow near the Brooklyn an
chorage of the Williamsburg bridge
today. With the bomb were two
packages of powder for signal lights
with instructions for their use print
ed in German, which translated
read:
"Light this if coast is clear," and
"light this if there is danger."
when a mass meeting wtll celebrate
the British government's recent dec
laration in favor of the establishment
of a Jewish home in Zion.
Southern Troops Show
Highest Sick Rates
Washington, Nov. 24. Although 96
deaths occurred at National Guard
and national army camps during the
week ending November 16, health
conditions at a majority of the camps
were more satisfactory than the week
previous, field sanitation reports to
the surgeon general compiled today
show.
The highest sick rates come from
camps at which southern troops are
training. The rate in the National
Guard is 42.6 per 1,000, compared with
28.5 for the national army men. The
highest rate was at Camp Travis, Fort
Sam Houston, Tex., where measles is
increasing. The rate is 87.9 per 1,000.
Camp Mead, at Annapolis Junction,
Md., showed the cleanest slate with a
rate of 9.1.

U. S. TAKES OVER
DIRECT CONTROL
NEW COAL MINES
Washington, Nov. 24. Newly open
ed coal mines were put under direct
government control today by the fuel
administration, which issued regula
tions governing their operation and
fixed prices at which their output may
be sold. Development of further new
coal properties during the war will
be discouraged on the grounds that
old mines can be operated more ef
ficiently. Operations classed as newly opened
mines are those opened before Sep
tember 1 and ready to produce coal by
January 1, 1918. After the mines are
producing at the rate of 250 tons a
day they will be permitted to charge
a profit of IS cents a ton above the
actual cost of production. Until then
they may charge ojily the present
government fixed prices.
The mines will be required to sub
mit to the fuel administration month
ly cost statements and the only ele
ments that will be permitted to enter
into costs will be the actual cost of
mining, transportation, hoisting and
loading, to which may be added not to
exceed one-half of the cost of mine
management and maintenance.
