MUCH
IE PROLONGS
LIFE FOR OVER A DAY
CAUSES RESPIRATION TO RETURN
IN GIRL WHO HAD BEEN
PRONOUNCED "DEAD."
REMARKABLE SURGICAL CLINIC
Young Woman Had Ceased to Breathe,
but When Machine Is Applied Her
Heart Begins to Beat
Regularly.
Chicago, 111. Science was given
now thrills hero by tho success of a
now Invention by a Chicago surgeon
which for over a day prolonged tho
llfo of M1B3 Plorenco Woodman. After
tho young woman had been pro
nounced "Incompletely dead," a
vacuum cleaner with mechanical at
tachments was applied and for 29
hours her heart was kept beating and
an almost normal supply of blood
pumped through her veins. Miss
"Woodman recently graduated from tho
University of Illinois and was popular
In Champaign and Woodlawn. Sho
was unusually bright and vivacious
and scores of sorrowing friends at
tended her funoraL
Remarkable Surgical Clinic.
Tho details of how hor llfo was
prolonged at ono of tho most remark
able surgical clinics over held has just
became known. Tho machine Is tho
invention of Dr. Harry A. Richter of
Northwestern Medical college. Doctor
Richter applied tho Invention to Miss
Woodman and for tho first time in
medical history an operation was suc
cessfully performed after "death" of a
patient. Tho young woman was an
orphan. Sho lived with the family of
hor uncle, C. S. Patridge, C114 Wood
lawn avenue. A few weeks ago she
was stricken with a malady resemb
ling mastoiditis. Tho infection spread
to tho brain and Miss Woodman
lapsed Into unconsciousness. Before
an operation could bo performed she
died, In tho ordinary senBe. But
"complete death" Is a slow process
and it was decided to perform an op
oration with tho invention of Doctor
Richter.
Heart Begins to Beat.
Miss Woodman had ceased to
breathe when the machine was ap
plied. Immediately tho heart began
to beat regularly, normal respiration
returned and tho pulse was as strong
as though tho young woman was in
perfect health. The blood returned to
her lips and face. As soon as tho ma
chlno was stopped, the pallor of death
returned, tho heart ceased beating and
respiration stopped. In agony tho
girl's relatives watched at tho bed
side, watched the fight of scienco to
bring back the spirit of tho dead girl
from shadowland. For 2D hours the
fight went on. Tho operation which
might havo saved the girl's llfo wa3
performed. Drs. P. A. Besley, W. D.
Herriman and George B. Dycho took
turns at manipulating the machine
which pumped the lungs full of air,
the valve automatically shutting off
tho supply. Tho tube supplying the
air was attached to tho windpipe.

Badly Mutilated, Is Found In
Vacant House.
Grand Island, Neb. The body of
little Goldio Williams, tho ten-year-old
girl who disappeared from
hor homo here, was found in a vacant
houso with tho head bruised and
otherwise mistreated. Quicklimo had

assaulted.
Little Goldio with school playmates
was skating on a shallow pond when
a stranger approached and asked her
If sho would like a nlco now pair of
skates. Other children who were pres
ent said tho man told her to come
with him and ho would givo them to
her.
Two hours later Goldio and tho
samo man wore seen to pass through
tho grounds of the soldiers' home.
Tho man was described as apparently
40 years old and well dressed. When
tho child did not come homo to sup
per tho family staited an Inquiry and
soon learned that she had been en
ticed by tho stranger. The flro alarm
was sounded and a house to houso
search begun. This continued until
tho dlscovory was made.

COMMITTEE HAS BEEN IN SES
SION 102 DAYS.
Cost of Investigation, So Far as the
Government Is Concerned, Esti
mated at $101,000.
Washington, D. C. With tho ter
mination of tho Investigation into tho
olcctlon of Senator Lorlraor of Illi
nois, nn announcement was mado by
Attorney Elbrldgo Hanocy, counsel for
Lorlmer, that ho will shortly fllo a
ploa of res adjudlca, which means
that final decision in tho caso Is as
far away as over. Tho naturo of tho
plea Is that Senator Lorlmcr's scat
was placed In Jeopardy onco boforo
on tho samo charge and that tho son
ato decided ho was entitled to his
toga. Tho dofonso will plead also
that no additional evidence of mate
rial importance was brought out at
tho second investigation. It tho plea
is upheld by tho sonato there will bo
no second voto on Lorimcr's right to
his seat.
Tho Investigation which has just
ended began on Juno 20, 1911. Tho
committee has been in session 102
days and has examined ISO witnesses.
It is estimated that tho cost of the
inquiry, so far as tho government is
concerned, is $101,000.
Three things engaged tho attention
of tho committee on the last day of
its inquiry tests of tho ability of J.
E. Sheridan, a stenographer employed
by the Burns detective agency to tako
down a conversation heard through a
dictagraph; an apology from Milton
W. Blumenberg who lost his position
when ho denounced Sheridan's notes
as "manufactured," and Edward
Hlnes' denial of tho story told by Miss
Scavcrs, that ho had tried to bribe
her.
Tho dictagraph tests of Sheridan's
ability were made under conditions
approximating these encountered in
Toronto when he made notes of a con
versation between Charles McGowan,
a Hines-Lorimer witness, and two de
tectives. When the tests were over,
Sheridan was placed on the stand and
read his notes easily, but thero were
frequent breaks, just as in his report
of tho' conversation In Toronto. At
tho conclusion of tho tests tho opin
ion was just as much divided as be
fore regarding Sheridan's ability to
take down a conversation heard
through a dictagraph.
PAINTS PICTURE OF SQUALOR
Woman Social Seurvey Worker Re
lates Her Experiences Among the
Steel Laborers at Homestead.
Washington, D. C. A graphic pict
ure of tho "other sido" of tho steel
Industry a pitiful story of squalor in
which she said the Immigrant laborer
lives and rears his family was given
to the Stanley Investigating commit
tee by Miss M. F. Bylngton, a Pitts
burgh social survey worker. She re
lated her experiences among steel la
borers at Homestead, Pa., during the
winter of 1907-08.
"Down In tho shadow of the clang
ing steel mills, in the smoke and
grime of Industrial hubbub, tho tiny
white-faced children pursue their Joy
less playing In filthy court yards
where sunshine seldom penetrates the
thick, black smoke that hangs be
tween tho walls," she said.
"Old, young, bent, disease-stricken
women spend their days in dirty,
crowded, half-furnished rooms, win
dowless and unventilated."
"My investigations have shown,"
said Miss Bylngton, "that it is impos
sible to maintain a normal standard of
living on less than $15 a week. At
present 65 per cent of tho employes of
the Homestead plant aro day laborers
who are paid ?10.50 a week."
Tho family of a steel worker who
receives less than ?10 a week spent
its Income on tho average as follows:
Rent $1.88, food ?4.1G, clothing 94
cents, furniture 9 cents, fuel 38 cents,
Insurance 70 cents, miscellaneous 92
cents.
Tho expenditure for rent, tho wit
ness said, represented two small
rooms in an unsanitary court, where
tho "death rate was double tho nor
mal and whero comfort was impos
sible." FRENCH PULPITORATDR 1SDEAD

Boy Emperor Only Six.
Tho abdication of the Chinese
throne by Pu Yi, aged six, the child
emperor, brings to an end the power
ful Manchu dynasty which has reigned
in China since 1C44. Tho boy ruler
has been on tho throno since Novem
ber 14, 1908, when tho emperor Kwang
Su, his uncle, died. His father,
Prince Chun, was appointed regent,
and was tho chief figure In China for
three years. Surrounded by a large
number of princes of tho Imperial clan
and Manchu officials with reactionary
ideas, the regent was brought face to
face with a revolutionary movement
in favor of modern reforms. Ho en
deavored to placate both parties, but
ended by causing general dissatisfac
tion which led to his resignation on
December G, 1911. Tho promise of a
constitutional government, mado by
tho dowager empress on her death
bed in 1008, was not fulfilled in any
way until May last year. ' In that
month an Imperial edict abolished the
old grand council.

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ills.
A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
ill, writes to tell how sho won back hor
health by quitting coffee:
"I am S4 years old," sho says, "havo
used coffee all my llfo, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Llfo was a burden &ncf a
drag to mo all tho tlmo, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon mo that I was regularly 'sick in
bed' for several weeks each tlmo.
"I was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, Hut
I am thankful that I found out tho
truth.
"Then I determined to uso Fostum
exclusively for a week at first for I
doubted my ability to do without cof
fee for any length of time. I made
tho Fostum carefully, as directed, and
beforo tho week expired had my re
ward in a perceptible incrcaso in
strength and spIrltB.
"Seeing the good that my short ex
periment had accomplished, I resolved
to contlnuo tho uso of Postum, cutting
out tho coffeo entirely. This I did for
I nine months, finding, daily, Increased
cause for gratification at my steadily
Improving health. My indigestion grad
ually left me, my sloop returned, I
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and llfo becamo a blessing.
"Then I thought I would try coffee
again, and did so for a few weeks. The
