PLUCKY WOMAN
FACES DEATH TO
FOIL BANDITS
Wife of Cafe Owner Hanged
To Post When She Refused
To Disclose Bank ,
Alarm System.
A woman foiled five bandits yes
terday in the third attempt to rob
the Citizens State bank at Ralston
wK'iu a year. ,
Thrown down tfie basement stairs
nf her cafe, in the same building with
the bank, and hanged by the throat
to a supporting post, she ignored
tlircats on her life and refused to
tell the five highwaymen the loca
tion of the burglar alarm to the bank.
The woman is Mrs. Margaret
Nausler. She lies hysterical in her;
home on the second floor of the
bank building.
Alone in Cafe. ;

Cafe." next door to the bank, at 7:45
a. m. She was standing behind the
soda fountain.
A man entered and asked if he
might use the telephone, which is
located in the rear of the cafe beside
the kitchen door and the cellar stair
way. She told him to help himself, and
he walked back to the telephone,
vhieh is an old-style instrument of
the kind which must be rung to get
central.
Asks for Directions.
"How do you work this thing?"
called the man, who was neatly
dressed in a dark suit and wore a
straw hat.
Mrs. Nausler walked back to show
him.
As she stepped near the cellar
stairway to turn the telephone crank
the man seized her and threw her
down the stairway.
Four men were in the basement.
Head Strikes Stairs.
Two oi them caught her as she
fell, but nt in time to prevent her
head from striking the stairs, cutting
a large gash in her scalp.
The fifth man rushed down the
Stairs behind hrr.
"Where the bank burglar
alarm?" the men demanded.
"I don't know where it is." she
started to' protest, when two of them
bound her hands and feet, as a third
gagged her with a cloth.
"Tell us where that alarm is or
we'll kill you," they threatened her.
. Hanged to Post.
She shook her head that she did
not know and they hanged her to
a supporting post by the stairway.
The men apparently meant to kill
hef as they hanged her with fish
cord about her throat, tying her to
the post, witii her feet several inches
from the ground. 11
Just then heavy footsteps were
heard on th floor above, and the
five bandits dashed up the stairs,
through the kitchen door and out
he rear of the cafe.
Heard" Auto Dash Away.
Mrs. Nausler' later said she heard
a powerful motor start up and an,
;.'-'o"iobile dash away at , high
s'-'-d.
Two men had entered the 1 front
doci cf the cafe, their footsteps
f-!."':tening the highwaymen into
IV-hi.
They were Arthur Moran, Mrs.
Nausler's brother, and John Neu
nrn. Seeing the five men dash out the
rear. door from the cellar stairway,
and not seeing Mrs. Nausler in the
cafe, the two men ran down into
the basement and found the woman
unconscious.
They cut her loose from the post,
freed her hands and feet, removed
the gag, and carried her upstairs to
her home above the cafe.
Officers Rush to Scene.
City and county authorities were
notified and two carloads of city de
tectives were rushed to the scene.
Deputy Sheriffs-Hoye, Halter and
Johnson also joined in the chase, but
no trace of the five highwaymen
could be found.'
Mrs. Nausler told them of hear
ing the automobile drive away, but
the officers could find no one in
Ralston who had seen tht car.
Gives Good Description.
She gave them good descriptions
of the bandits, all of whom were
well dressed, she said, and appar
ently well educated.

Accuse Clothiers of
Using Propaganda" to
Force Prices Upward
' . "
Washington, Aug. 2. Howard E.
Figgi special assistant to the attor
ney general in. the enforcement of
the Lever law against profiteering
charged today that manufacturers
and jobbers of wear:ng apparel were
attempting through carefully pre
pared propaganda "to stampede re
tailers and the public into a rehewed
fictitious demand"' for clothing and
thereby force prices higher. "
r "The Department of Justice," said
Mr. Figg, "is fully advised 'of; the
several phases of . the carefully
planned campaign and it only re
mains to fix personal responsibility
before applying the criminal
provisions of the Lever law."
"Manufacturers and jobbers ' are
even going to the length of 'guaran
teeing' the retail trade against a de
clining market," Mr.' Figg said.' He
called attention to instances where
mills have been closed for the reason,
he charged, of justifying market con
ditions on the plea of underproduc
tion. "The closing of mills is in turn
being used in the price propaganda,"
Mr. Figg asserted. "The retailer is
then being threatened with further
curtailment and higher prices if he
does not accept goods and order on
the present market."

CURE FOUND FOR
LEPROSY, BELIEF
OF MEDICAL MAN
Two Cases Under Treatment
Indicate Complete Recovery
.Specialists to Decide
After Examination.
Penikese Island, Mass., Aug. 2.
Has the dream of the medical pro
fession, a cure for dreaded leprosy,
come ttue? I
This question will be answered
soon when a special commission of
New York and. Boston specialists
visits the state leper colony on this
island.
Dr. F. H. Parker, in charge of the
1$ Jepers confined here, believes he
has cured two of. them young men
under treatment for three years.
Every indication, points to the fact
that both meiybave bf en cured. Sev
eral tests nave oeen. maae upon
them., for .trices of the disease, and
all of them how that it has disap
peared. ' Both suffered from average
cases when they were sent to Peni
kese, ' " '
r ' Will Make Tests.
To make sure that the men are
cured, Dr. Bernard Carey, director
of the division .of communicable dis
eases of the Massachusetts state de
partment of health, arranged for the
commission to examine the men.
Thorough tests covering a period of
a week will be made. Those wiio
comprise the commission are Drt
Victor( Heiser of New York, mem
ber of the international health
board; Dr. Victor Safford of Boston1
board of health; Dr. Algernon
Coolidge. of Massachusetts General
hospital, nose and throat specialist,
and Dr. Townsend Thorndike, Bos
ton skin specialist.
State tests under the direction of
Dr. Parker show that the lesions or
nodules have completely disappear
ed. The face of one of the young
men was? covered with lumps or
Modules when he went to Penikese.
Now his face is clear.
No Traces of Disease.
The tests show negative results
that is, that there are no traces of
the disease. If the tests to be maHe
by the commission bear out the be
lief of the state authorities two men
who were practically sentenced to
confinement for life will, be released.
The treatment of the men con
sisted in plenty of air and sunshrfic,
good food, etc.," similar to treatment
of tuberculosis, and in addition the
use of chemulga oil, imported from
India, and sodium gyrocardanate.
The three substances were given in
ternally as it is an irritant Five
drops were given at first and the
amount increased until a dose of 40
drops could be taken by the patient
without upsetting his stomach. This
Indian oil wa- administered three
times a day. The oil comes from
the Indian plum tree.
The apparent cure of these men is
due largely to the faithful ministra
tions of Dr. . Parker, who is in
charge of the leper colony. He has
given the best that is in him to the
unfortunates under his care.
Mexicans Seek Permission .
To Leave Lower California
Mexicalia Lower Calif Aug. 3.
Many applications have been made
by Mexicans living here for per
mission to send their families across
the boundary to Calexico in ' the
event of fighting resulting- from the
expected arrival of Mexican federal
troops in Lower California, accord'
ing to officials of Governor Este
ban Cantu's government. '. No per
mits for such emigration have been
granted, it was added. '
Berlin Largest City in
Wprid; 337 Square Miles
Berlin, Aug. 2. Greater Berlin,
with its latest additions, claims to
be the biggest metropolis on earth.
Its area is officially given as 877166
squire kilomet-rs (337 71 square
nines,), compared wun ucmki
New York's 840 square kilometers
(307.8 square miles), Paris' 480.

now embraces eiht townships, 59

Intrastate Rail Rates '
Are to Be Raised Soon
(Continued from Vagi' One.)
The commission's '' cision was in
tended so to fix rales as to give the
roads the 6 per cent Return on their
aggregate value permitted by the
transportation act.
Ship Rates Advance.
Coastwise ' and inland steamship
companies and electric railway lines
are permitted under the interstate
commerce commission's decision to
raise only freight rates. Nothing
was said by the cgmmission as to
passenger rates on thej steamboat
lines, but the' df cislon did say sper
cifically that the freight rate in
crease granted electric railway lines
was "not to be construed as an ex
pression of disapproval of increases,
made or proposed in the regular
manner, in the passenger fares of
electric lines."
While the commission authorized
separate freight rates increases to
the railroads in the four separate
territories, the increase on freight
moving from one"territory in to an-
other will be 33 1-3 per cent.
Creation by the commission on its
own motion of the mountain-Pacific
territory was unexpected. The west
er roads as a whole, had joined, in
asking ' for an increase of 32.3 per
cent, but the southwestern lines
later at ' the public hearing asked
that they be given separate treat
ment and ay freight, increase of ap
proximately 39 per cent. The com
mission did not grant this request,
saying that it had been opposed by
many shippers and by other carriers
in the western group.
Little Help In West. J
"The record shows," said the com
mission, "that the principal Railroads
serving the territory west of the
Colorado common points, especial
ly the so-called transcontinental
railroads as a whole, are in a sub
stantially better financial condition
than other carriers in the western
territory. It also shows. that the
rates, generally speakjng, are ma
terially higher in the region west of
the Colorado common points than in
the part of the western territory
lying east thereof. Considering
the jvhole 'situation it is our view
that the territory west of the Colo
rado common points and the traffic
to and from ,that territory may
properly be given separate treat
ment." The surcharge of 50. per cent on
sleeping and parlor car .space is to
accrue wholly to the railroads, This
ch.-rge was opposed by the Pull
mar company on the ground that it
would reduce the travel in cars of
that type.
Stock Market Affected
By Increased Tariff Rates
New York, Aug. 2. Speculative
and investment sentiment on the
stock exhange was hopefully dis
posed at the outset of business today
as the result of the sweeping ad
vances in railway passenger and
freight rates granted by the Inter
state Commerce commission.
The news brought in a large vol
ume of buying Orders from all over
the country. Railroad shares of all
descriptions were' absorbed on a
steadily rising scale, with the ad
vances ranging from 1 to 32 points.
Representative dividend paying
stocks,, such as New York Central,
Northern Pacific, Reading, Great
Northern preferred. Southern - Pa
cific and Union Pacific made the
most headway, but there were nu
merous gains, approximating 2
points in the more specu''tive
shares such as New Haven, Pitts
burgh & Western, Rqck Island and
St. Louis Southwestern preferred.
Operators showed little effort to
combat the movement. The rise also
reached formidable proportions in
many of the popular specialties, in
cluding the motors, papers, steel, oils
and food shares.
Baldwin, International Paper and
American Locomotive improved 2'$
points each.
