Briggs, 35 years old, 235 East St. Joseph street, dean of the College of Drugless Physicians, 213-215 Empire Life building, in city prison on a charge of conspiracy to commit a felony yesterday. Briggs, in a written confession to detecllves, detailed his "strictly cash" reasons for assuming the role of benefactor to his fellow men and told ot sending twenty-one diplomas through his "mill," according to Claude M.

Worley, chief of detectives. The certificates were given to students enrolled In the college for a few weeks' instructions In the art of drugless healing this year and dated previous to Jan. 1. to escape pro-iHalnni nf a Ixw enacted bv the last Legislature making it Illegal for any person to practice medicine in the stale who had not graduated from a recognised school of medicine prior to Jan. 1, 1927.

Briggs In his confession stated that "1 knew that this transaction (referring to one of the many) was In violation of the law, but that I could help some of the boys get started Into the practice in drugless therapeutics i to help suffering humanity." Throughout questioning by detectives, Bi'iggs maintained that his sole object in dating the diplomas prior to the enactment, of the law was to help the "boys and serve humanity.

Andrew Fox, 45 years old, 4034 East Thirtieth street, was killed almost Instantly when he was crushed beneath the wheels of a moving coal car on a siding of the Lake Erie Western railroad at Forty-second street and the MUlersville road, yesterday after noon. LEG IS SEVERED. Fox, a workman for the Hayes Con structlon Company, Thirtieth street and the Monon railroad, was assisting in the unloading of a carload of crushed stone. The stone was being loaded into trucks. It became necessary to move the car several feet to facilitate the unloading, and workmen used crowbars to start the car moving.

Fox was at one end of the car alone, and Hatt Hicks, 4043 Hovey street, and John Mumby, S24 West Court street, were at the other end. The car started, anL Fox, in sone manner, slipped and Vjll In front of it, the front trucks passing over his body. The man's left leg was severed above the knee and he was Injure'! internally. Fox was ordered taken to St. Vincent's hospital by company officials.

He died en route without regaining consciousness. The body was taken to the city morgue. U. B. Hlne, deputy coroner, investigated and returned a verdict of acci dental death.

The UNDER GOAL AR mHE PRINCE OF WALES i misht learn something from Mrs. Coolidge.

On his thirty-third birthday he and his brother went to a costume ball dressed as Eton schoolboys. That will not please Britons that like to take their royalty seriously. Henry VIII. predecessor ot King George, at the age of 12. wrote letters to Erasmus and others that amaze you.

Perhaps he didn't really write them, but he signed them. Royalty that wishes to be taken seriously must take Itself seriously. Mrs. Coolidge. in South Dakota, sees women of til kinds, young girls tnd grandmothers, wearing knickerbockers.

Mrs. Coolidge respects them and probably admires their common sense, but the. will not wear knickerbockers. Rubber boots when she goes fishing and a skirt ot reasonable length never mind if it geta wet Clothes, ts Carlyle shows in "Sartor Resartus." makes all the difference between a king in his grandeur tnd a "featherless biped." Commtnder Byrd will mtke tn important exneriment in his flight, different from Lindbergh's dashing adventure. In a big Fok- ker plane, with three engines, Commtnder Byrd will take three other men, tnd a radio which will send news ts the Journey progresses.

That flight is the beginning of series of trtns-At-lantlc passenger carrying on sound btsis. It should be remembered that Rodmtn Wanamaker, who pltnned trtns-Atlantlc flight in 1914, tnd has spent $500,000 ctrrying out his idet, has made the Byrd flight possible. He deserves the nation'! thanks, not merely for spending his money but f6r sticking to his plan to promote Amer-ictn flying. Film companies will cut all salaries above $50 a week from 10 to 25 per cent. The saving will be a week, about $10,000,000 a year.

This will not hurt pictures. Sensible economy never hurt anything. And It won't keep the right man or woman from getting twice ts much as tny movie actor ever got, if he or she can earn At this moment of flying enthusiasm one word of caution Is necessary, and expert fliers remind you of it. Don't go up "just to know how it feels," unless you know the pilot and the machine. There are unsafe machines, plenty of them, including many bought secondhand from the United States government.

There are unskillful pilots and others skillful but reckless. Barring dangerously bad weather, bad pilots and unsafe machines, flying is now safe. But gfe CAREFUL. President Coolidge's pet raccoon ran away and now in some tree, where nature intended her to live, that raccoon lady is as happy as President Coolidge would be if he were out of offico, out of politics, living quietly in his native Btate. Because she lived with Preal- dent Coolidge, Rebecca is discussed all over the United States.

Thousands of theatrical ladies will envy the little raccoon's publicity. She is like the rooster tn the fable that scratched up a ltrge diamond and would rather have had a grain of corn. A woman holds and refuses to release another woman's 3-year-old son until a certain debt be paid. This now seems monstrous, but once it would have seemed reasonable. Dickens fought and broke down a law that put any debtor In prison, to there until his debt was paid.

All agreed that respect for property demanded debt Imprisonment, "How are you going to collect money if you can't put the man in Jail?" was asked. Before the French revolution, when courts authorized torture of the accused! and even torture of innocent witnesses, the question was asked: "How can you have any justice ft you don't permit torturing witnesses and the accused?"

Irlck had his somewhat shattered faith in humanity partly restored when he walked into detective headquarters yesterday afternoon. On his desk lay a letter and 11.00.

The note was frltten by Joseph Calusc of Oakland, Cal. Irlck Was Investigating a case Jn the western part of the city Thursday morning and found Clause and a companion stranded in an automobile near White river on Michigan street.

When the two had finished, Irlck took them to a filling station, where he purchased five gallons of gasoline for their car, and sent on their way. The youths explained In the letter that they had received funds from home telegraphed soon after Irlck left and that they were returning the loan. "I want to express my sincere appreciation for your kind help to us. It will not he forgotten soon. Thanks for your help In a time of real distress," the note read In part.
