Denver, March I. Mrs. Georgia Stanley, who was found In an unconscious condition in the same room In which lay the dead body of Major Marshall Hurd, yesterday, proves to be a woman of aristocratic lineage. She Is a granddaughter of Lord Kercastle ot Inverness, Scotland. Her mother was Lady Allen and her father Governor of an English province in In4ia.

Lady Allen, by a second marriage, became the mother of Sir James Grant, of Toronto, one of the most eminent physicians of the Dominion ot Canada, who was knighted by Queen Victoria. Mrs. Stanley, it Is "said, was thrice married. Her first husband and their four children died of tho black dlptherla in Quebec. Several years later she married a resident of Washington, D.

who was in the government service. A year or so later he shot and killed himself In a hotel in Syracuse, N. Y. She then married Herbert Stanley, who was a govern ment clerk. Her relatives disapproved of the union and the Stanleys came to Den ver to live.

About a year ago Mr. Stanley died of paralysis and left his widow practically penniless and helpless on account of ill health. Major Hurd. who at that time was an Inmate ot the old soldiers' home at Monte Vista. came to Denver and undertook to care for Mrs.

Stanley. whose late husband was his friend. The small pension he received from tKe gov ernment was not sufficient to provide for the needs of the couple and assistance was rendered them by charitable persons. It was on the occasion of one of these visits yesterday that the tragedy at the Hurd house waa discovered. The physician attending Mrs.

Stanley believe that her condition and Major Kurd's death were due to breathing the fumea of coal gas which escaped into the room by accident, and the suicide theory is discredited. Mrs. Stanley, they say, has a chance of recovering consciousness, at least. In Government's Favor. New York.

under a microscope, how the germ that rausea dandruff thrives tn vaseline. The specialist said that all hair preparations containing grease, simply furnish food for the germs and help to propwote them. The only way to cure, dan 1 ruff Is to destroy the grms, and the only hair preparation that will do that Is Newbro Herplcide. "Destroy the csuse. you remove the effect."

Jt Jt JtJljtJtjtjtjt'JtJtjtJtjtjtJJt Advertiser Bureau, Mobile, March 5. Following the arrest of a number of seamen and petit officers of the Isla de Luzon last night by members of the police force, It develops that one of the prisoners, J. J.

O'Brien, was the cause of the irdcrs for the arrest. O'Brien, while the Jsla do Luzon was at Singapore, struck a Lieutenant and wns placpd under arrest In double irons pending a trial by court martial. He had been In irons six months and as the case was to be tried three months hence, it is more than likely he will, now that ho has been captured, be held In confinement during that period heavily Ironed and closely guarded. His escape. It was learned, wns a prearranged affair, well planned and equally well carried out.

O'Brien was allowed a few moments' exercise Tuesday night. He wns accompanied by a detail of guards, his leg irons having been removed. At one portion of the ship two seamen began a racket. The drtHil leaving O'Brien for a few moments rushed to see what wns up. O'Brien, walking to the guard rail, jumped ashore.

Having been provided with money he made his way tn a. certain resort, got rid of his hand Irons, secured other clothing and was preparing to leave when, owing to the order issued, he waa apprehended. It was at first claimed O'Brien Jumped overboard and swam the length of the vessel, but tbls was incorrect. When O'Brien's escape became known aboardshlp communication was made with the police authorities. At the same time the names of six men wit-h descriptions were sent to ipoltcei headquarters, rewards of $10 being offered for each.

One of these was ttie chief sergeant at arms, who wears four stripes on his arm indicating sixteen years' service in the navy. Ha is a German named Koehler. When taken to the police station he wept bitterly, saying It waa the first time in 'his career that he had been placed under arrest. While away from the vessel at the time of O'Brien's escape, he is nevertheless responsible for It, and with his second, will be court martialed. Another sailor who was enptured on this order had left the vessel without permit and he will be placed in irons three months, besides having to paw the reward money out of his next wages.

Some of the seamen who were arrested spoke well of the commanding officer and said they had no excuses to offer for having overstaid their permits on shore, hut felt that the penalty was too great for tho offense. With the exception of Koehler, the seamen took their arrest without complaint, though all had a marked dread for the galleys Irons and a bread and water diet. The men were turned over to Commander Colwell on board the Isla do Luzon at 9 o'clock this morning and the arresting policemen were paid the rewards offered by the government. Says He Antedates Harconl. Prof.

John Bunyan Campbell, I.J. founder of the vitapathlc system of practice and author of its books and builder and donor of Its college mnn of upward of eighty years, Is in Mobile today, en route to Baldwin County on a visit. Professor Campbell is now a resl dent of Cltronelle. This morning he made the statement that he wm the originator or wireless telegraphy. During tha Civil War he was a surgeon in the Federal army, and while In Kentucky, he claims, he put his system to practical use for his commanding officer, successfully.

Asked why he did not follow up his discovery and obtain patents, the elderly gentleman replied that, at the close of the war, he devoted his time to his chosen life study-medicine, and now enjoys his old age In ease as a result. Professor Caldwell is a fluent conversationalist and, despite his ae) gets abi- easily and is hale and hearty, welgl 'over 200 pounds. He was a soldier in tho Mexican war and has followed his chosen profession fifty-nine years, having graduated when quite a young man. He is much pleased with Mobile and Mobile County and says he will make hia home at Cltronelle. Death of Mrs.
