Jan. 28.--An illness that may be "his" last has revealed that Dr. M. V. Mayfield has fooled the countryside for more than a guarter of a century. The doctor is a woman. Her masqherade as a man became known only after she had to care for herself. She is 74 years old. Inhabitants of the Ozarks have a way of accepting new comers at their face value. So, years ago, when Dr, Mayfield, then middle aged and with a general knowledge of medicine, came to this village and hung out a shingle, no questions were asked. Dr. Mayfield told noth- ing of her life history to the people of Mena when she came here. Since her illness she has told those at her bedside that in ®ngland, where she was born, her parents, because of legal requirements, needed a son to protect property rights and she was dressed as a boy and so grew into "manhood." Taking up the study of medicine, she became & qualified physician, but kept to the style of clothing that she had worn. since US.

Toronto, Jan. 28.--According to the Toronto Evening Telegram the Ontario Department of Health fears that a serious condition will result in Eastern Ontario as the result of es of rabies that have been report- 'ed there. The Telegram says that three persons in the Ottawa district have been bitten by dogs with rabies, and are now being given the Pasteur treatment by Dr. Church, of Ottawa whose own son, the paper says is one of the victims. Pasteur treatments have been rushed to Kemptville, Ont., and to Ottawa, where two other cases have been reported. It is said that introduction of the disease in- to Ontario is traceable to two dogs brought into Eastern Ontario by United States hunters during the hunting season last fall. The disease has been spread among other dogs and sheep.

At midnight last night, under a bright moon that lit up the séa the thirteen remaining members of , the crew of twenty-five were rescued from the wallowing freighter whose doom seemed imminent mo- mentarily. New York, Jan. 28--Death prow- led the waves last night as the worst storm to rake the Atlantic in years continued in full force and reaped 'a human harvest. Bits of wreckage bobbing in a gale-frenzied sea gave tragic evidence that ' the British freighter Laristan, with a crew of twenty-five men, has been pounded to pieces in the heavy seas, which have held her helpless and at bay off the coast of Nova Scotia for two days. { All hope for the Laristan and her crew was abandoned yesterday af- terpoon when the North German Lloyd offices in New : ving: vi Go "In a storm with, heavy seas aud blizzard, saw Laristan last Tuesday, 12 midnight. Wednesday, at 9 a.m, some wreckage was found floating in water and as nothing more was found of Laristan, it is assumed steamer sank." bY The message was signed by Capt. Wurpts, of the Bremen, who has stood by the broken Laristan since the storm swept down on her. On Tuesday the Bremen held the driv- ing snow and 90 mile gale at bay long enough to pick up six of the Laristan's crew, and was prepared to make another effort yesterday. Abandon Search. The message to the steamship of- fices indicated the task was hope- less, and another' wireless from the Bremen received at Halifax said she bad abandoned the search. While the wireless operator aboard the Bremen was tapping out the final chapter of the Laristan's losing fight, another on the United States liner President Roosevelt was writ- ing In staccato code the story of that vessel's efforts to aid the crip- pled Antinoe. The sea forced both the Bremen and the President Roosevelt to play waiting games in their attempts at rescue.

Both the Antinoe @nd the Laris- tan were without lights, their en- gines helplessly wallowing in the waves 40, 50 and 60 feet high.

J. W. EDWARDS Replies to the Rosetown Mem- ber Who Calls Taril *'a Dia- bolical Frame-Up." Ottawa, Jan. 28.--The feature of the debate on the Address in the Commons yesterday afternoon was an attack by the "Dean of the House," W. F. Maclean, of South York, on what he described as the campaign of Montreal interests to destroy the National Railways. Mr. Maclean expressed the belief that the transportation problem must be approached as a public ownership proposition embracing rail, water and motor truck trans- portation in one combination. He had been led to the belief that- a power was developing in Montreal to hinder the development of the St. Lawrence waterways and the Canadian National Railways and he called for a 'show down." For the purpose of that €show down he would name Montreal interests and ask them if they were 'out to smash the National Railways and band them over to the C.P.R." First, he named the Montreal Star ,and the Montreal Herald and other papers controlled by Baron Atholstan, "with which is associated the Mont- SR Next he named the presidents of the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank, both of whom were di- rectors of the C.P.R. He would chal lenge the latter to say whether they were working to destroy the Na- tional system in order to give it over to their own company. Mr., Maclean had heard that this Montreal group hated public owner- ship, especially as it had developed in Ontario. "I challenge the St. James street group to show whether they and the people of Quebec and the Pre- mier of Quebec are determined to smash the Canadian National and turn it over to the C.P.R.," he de- clared. "Will any member of the House say he is in favor of, the inimical campaign directed by the Montreal press--by Atholstan and by-the Whites--+te destroy the Can. adian National?" Tariff Criticized. . John Evans, of Rosetown, called the tariff "a diabolical frame-up bé- tween the manufacturers and poli- ticlans" to provide campaign funds and to despoil the farmers. Pro- tectionists prospered on the blood of others, and nobody really believed in the tariff. Asriculture suffered be- cause the manufacturer would not stand on his own feet, This year alone the people were to be mulet- ed of $250,000,000 by the interests protected by the tariff.

Winnipeg, Jan. 28.--Congestioa of interior elevators as the result of the embargo on the shipment of grain to the head of the Lakes and the Pacific Coast, has become sep ious, according to officials of the prairie wheat pools and the United Grain Growers, Limited. They report that thousands of loaded cars are in the lakehead terminal yards; all the sidings be- "= tween Winnipeg and Fort William are congested with filled grain cars and with farmers still marketing grain every day, hundreds of in- terior elevators are plugged. Until the "all-rail" movement be- comes greater, there will be no res lief, these officers state. The pres- ent condition is attributed to the large volume of damp and tough grain in the country, which made an even distribution in the big storage elevators this year, impossible. 3 It is reported that more than 10,000 cars are held up at sidings in Saskatchewan and Alberts.
