Alameda
Contra Costa
WOMAN COMATOSE
ELEVEN DAYS
Kept Alive by Liquid Food,
Oxygen and Salt Solution
Injected Into Her Veins
BODY BECOMES BLUE
OAKLAND, Jan. 11. — Mrs. Jennie
Huff of 1117 Pomona avenue, in Fruit
vole, has lain unconscious for eleven
days at the Alameda Sanatorium. Her
arms and legs have been paralyzed dur
ing that time.
She has been Kept alive with liquid
food, oxygen and salt solutions inject
ed Into the veins. Her condition was
caused by accidentally inhaling illum
inating gas.
The attending physician. Dr. Daniel
Crosby, has thus far succeeded in pre
venting h*r death. He said tonight
that Mrs. Huff may remain "for weeks
in a comatose state. She gave evi
dence today of being sensible to a
touch upon the eyelids and opened her
eyes, but gave no sign of recognizing
her husband, Claude Huff, who was at
the bedside.
Mrs. Huff was discovered unconscious
from carbon monoxide on New Year's
night In her bedroom at her home. The
gas she had inhaled came from a jet
that appeared as if it had not been
properly closed. Dr. Crosby was sum
moned and he lost no time in opening
a vein, drawing a pint of blood and in
jecting a salt solution. The patient
•was then conveyed to the sanatorium,
\u25a0where she has since been under the
care of Dr. Crosby. One-third of the
time the patient breathes oxygen that
Is administered from large rubber bags.
Eight-ounce ealt solutions are injected
into her veins every eight hours. When
eh* is not plven sufficient oxygen her
body, turns blue, this being due to the
destruction of the oxygen-carrying ye
.hides in the blood by the carbon
monoxide that she inhaled.

FAIL TO FIND ANY
SLAVE GIRLS

Search Oakland's China
town for Unfortunates
DROP; INVESTIGATION
OAKLAND. Jan. 11; — Escorted by a
detail' of policemen in charge of Cap
tain of Police W. J. Peterseri, Miss D.
Cameron and Miss C. G. Davis, both
weil known in /Chinese mission s work,
made a search .of Chinatown to in
vestigate reports that slave girls were
held in bondage^ by, the Orientals. The
Investigation proved that' the report
was in. error. , .
I 'As a result of the visit of the mts
i slon women, who were accompanied by
\u25a0 interpreters, to Oakland's new China
| town. It was shown that., the Police
\ Department had. . so far as policemen
j have in ; their careers ever been' able
; to dlsdbver, that there were no "slaves"
i in the Chinese dens..
| A woman calling' herself Sun Lean
\u25a0was found at ,336 Second street, who
(declared that she wished. to leave the
' place, and she was taken in charge by
j Miss. Cameron. Later a four-year-old
girl was found at the home of Tun
Ho, at 312 Second street, and she was
removed \u25a0at the request of- the " mis
sion . workers. Both the woman and
child are now/ in charge of Miss Cam
eron.
The cause of the investigation was
a report which . reached Chief of Po
lice Wilson about two weeks ago that
slave girls were held against their
will in 'Chinese and Japanese resorts
In the" Oriental quarter. An " Investi
gation was at once ordered and. an im
mediate search of the Japanese,, quar
ter followed.
The first reports reached the police
through Rev. Charles R. Brown,, pas
tor of the First Congregational Church,
and Rev. E. E. Baker, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church. These
clergymen, .accompanied by interpret
ers of their own selection, made a per
sonal inspection of the Japanese quar
ter. 'All of the women were inter
viewed and not one was. found who
would admit that she desired to leave
the quarter. Subsequently Miss Cam
eron and Miss Davis carried the in
quiry through the Chinese district./

LAKEPORT WOULD
DANCE, WHY NOT?
High School Authorities
and Ministers "Want Stop
Put to Social Functions
OPINION •IS DIVIDED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX.
— ~
VALLEJO, Jan. 11.— The faculty and
trustees of the Lakeport High School
and flvo ministers of the town have
undertaken to effect a radical reform
by putting a ban on high school
dances. Th? proposed reform has met
with such disfavor that not only has
a women's crusade been inaugurated
against It, but the press of Lake Coun
ty from end to end has taken up the
cry of "on with the dance," and It
is probable that the faculty's efforts
will meet with defeat.
In a circular letter addressed to par
ents Of scholars of the high school,
objections to the dances are net forth-
Principal Horace X. Caldwell of tho
high school declares in the letter that
the co-mingllnsr of the. sexes at such
gatherings and the questions of dress
for the occasion have served to pre
occupy the minds of the students and
had tended to make their desire for
knowledge a -secondary consideration.
He alleged that gatherings mentioned
would bring about "intimacies which
Judicious parents wish to be deferred
until "fnaturer years.'.* The girls of
the school, their mothers and their
friends regard -the movement as not
in keeping with Lakcporfs views of,
social life, and with a toss of the
head declare that they will have some
thing to say when It comes to reap
pointing the men who would relegate
Lakeport's principal diversion.
GOLD SEEKERS IN
DEADLY STORM
CAR..W CITT. Jan. 11. — Snowed In
with but one day's food and twenty
miles from the nearest habitation.
Chris Jepperson and Jack Reynolds,
miners, spent eight days starving and
freezing until on the very verge of
death. The two m.en «went to do some
location work on claims owned ' by
them in the Lone Pine district, east of
Gardnerville. They had their dog with
them and one day's food. They in
structed the driver of the hired rig
that conveyed them to the foot of the
mountain to return the next day for
them, but he forgot all about Jepper
son and Reynolds until a day later. Ha
went out at once, but could not find the
men. . \u25a0*
Jepperson and Reynolds went to th«
Winters mine and while there snow be
gan to fall, the two men taking refuge
In a cabin. All day New Tear's day
and for three days following the snow
fell so fast that It was impossible for
the miners to leave.
The food gave out on the third day.-'
Jepperson then 'tied a message around
his dog's neck and drove him outdoors. '
hoping that he would make his way
to Qardnerville with the appeal for
Help. The animal reached Gardner
vllle on Monday, and the message
about his neck was. not noticed until
a week* after, he was dispatched from
the cabin.
A rescue party at once started up
the mountain - range, equipped with
snowshoes and carrying food. On
Thursday It found the two men in the
cabin In a fainting condition from hun
ger and cold. Jepperson recovered
completely when restoratives were
given him. Reynolds was in the deep
sleep that precedes death from freez
ing, and it took all Thursday night to /
bring him to consciousness.

DR. PIERCES REMEDIES.
OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
- GU2M7INTY OF MERIT,
When the maker of a medicines sold
through drugsrlsts {or ftmily use, take-*
his patient* fully Into his confidence tnr
frankly and fearlessly publishing broaa-
. cast as well as on iU bottle wrappers,
a full list of all. its Ingredients in plain
English, this action on his part is the
best possible evidence that he 1j not
afraid to have the search light of inves-
tigation turned full upon els formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough Investigation.
Dr.Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional derangements of the or-
gans distinctly feminine, is the only medi-
cine put up for sale through druggista for
woman's special use. the maker of which
is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity. .
- A glance at the published Ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that it
is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that It contains no poi-
sonous or . habit-forming drugs, no nar-
cotics and no alcohol — pure, triple-refined
glycerine, of proper strength being used
instead of the commonly employed alco-
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the active medicinal properties found In
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. It is the , only medicine for
women's pecular diseases, sold by drug-
gists, that does not contain a large per-
centage of alcohol, which Is in the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv-
y ous system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all Its own,
: and besides it enhances the \u25a0 curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
- Into the • Favorite Prescription.*
Some of the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several Ingredients of which "Fa-
vorite Prescription" is composed— rec-
ommending them for the cure of the
very same diseases for which this world-
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro*
•fasUmaX endorsement— worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. If\
interested, send name and address to Dr.
E. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y., for his little
book of extracts from the works of
