HAS A FIGHTING CHANCE
to
Treatment After
Severe Sinking Spell
AIDING ffl BATTLE FOB LIFE
Indomitable Will Power and De
termination to Live.
Rochester, Minn., Sept. 17.—Gov
ernor John A. Johnson'6 condition is
more hopeful, but be is suffering much
pain at St. Mary's hospital, where he
underwent an operation. At 12:3i
p. m., Dr. Charles T. MoNevin, house
physician, issued the following bul
letin:
"Governor Johnson's condition is
not quite so good. He Is suffering
considerable pain from an accumula
tion of gas. Pulse 80, temperature
•bout normal"
To Private Secretary Frank
JL
Day
Dr. Charles Mayo said:
"The governor's pulse Is 80 and
temperature about normal. He is
cheerful and has been able to take
some liquid nourishment. Although
the crisis will not come for twenty
four hours we hope for speedy recov
ery."
Governor Johnson was very close to
death during the night and it was
only by the prompt and capable work
of Dr. Charles T. McNevin, house
physician at St. Mary's hospital, It is
believed, that the governor was
brought safely out of a very danger
ous linking spell.
It was just about 10:15 at night
when Dr. McNevin tried the govern
or's pulse and was unable to Ax it.
Treatment Causes Rally.
He immediately gave a camphor
and oil injection and summoned Doc
tors W. J. and Charles H. Mayo and
E. S. Judd, all three of whom hurried
to the governor's side as fast as a
high power auto would carry them.
The injection of the stimulant had
done Its good work, however, and
when the doctors arrived they found
the distinguished patient rallying.
He had been summoned back almost
from the brink of the grave. From
that very moment Governor Johnson
began to mend and it was evidev
that he had passed the first gre.it
crisis following the shock of the Ion
operation and th9 administration

that it was one of the most difficult
and dangerous of its nature that ho
bad ever seen.
"I am srftisflod," said Dr. Basttnelli,
"that the operation was a complete
success—in fact a brilliant success—
but I did not believe at the time that
the patient would recover. He has
shown good rallying powers, bowevtr,
and may survive."

In the morning Dr. McNevin retired,

safe for the rest of the night In tlie
hands of the nurse.
The governor was In a very precari

It was necessary to administer fre
quent saline injections and to use hot
packs from 4 o'clock in the afternoon
until 3 o'clock in the morning.
Mrs. Johnson remained at the hos
pital all night. She slept a couple of
hours, but was called during the gov
ernor's sinking spell. She was in
readiness In case of extremity, but
was not admitted to the room at that
time.
Hundreds of Messages.
Hundreds of messages of sympathy
are being received from all over the
eountry.
The governor, of course, has been
given absolutely nothing to eat since
the operation and will receive no
nourishment beyond a teaspoonful or
two of plain or carbonated water
every hour or so. Nc food will bo
given him until the danger line is
passed and then he will be given only
weak tea and a very little light thin
broth for two or three days.
The governor Is a splendid patient,
his indomitable will power and deter
mination to live aiding him wonder
fully in the splendid fight that he Is
making. He complains none, does not
fret or worry and refuaes the quieting
effect of opiates in any form. His
strength is beginning to return and
the saline injections and hot packs are
being administered at much longer in

Goldzier. president of the Postal Sav

bankers for assistance In securing
postal savings banks.
Mr. Reynolds showed the letter to
a number of delegates, but no action
was taken. It is said that the letter,
if read at all at the main meeting,
will fall for the most part on un
friendly ears. Practically every speech
made so far at the bankers' conven

REVIEWSSCHOOLCHILDREN
Driven for Miles Through Lines «f
Enthusiastic Youngsters, Whe Sang
Patriotic Songs and Waved Amer

ae Quest of Commercial Club and
Witnesses Ball Qame.
Chicago, Sept. 17.—President Taft
arrived here, smiling his appreciation
at a vociferous welcome and the flaw
less weather. A dense crowd, re
strained by perfect police arrange
ments, was at th© temporary depot at
Fifty-fifth street, where the president
alighted, and stretched for fifteen
miles along the route his automobile
*as scheduled to travel.
No sooner had the president shaken
bands with the members of the recep
tion committee than he was turned
over to a much larger one represent
ing the various departments of Chi
cago's business and professional life.
Thirteen automobiles awaited the
arrival erf the presidential party.
These were entered and two hours'
review of the school children began.
Then for miles the president bowed
and smiled and waved his hands to
the enthusiastic youngsters, who sang
patriotic songs and waved American
flags in his honor. The president's
delight at the unique demonstration
showed plainly In his face.
Stirred to Hearty Chuckles.
The school yells of the young people
frequently stirred the president to
hearty chuckles. The line of review
produced practically an uninterrupted
roar of shrill cries, ranging from the
treble of the little freshman and the
uncertain squeaks of voices at the
changing period to the roars of the
seniors. Girls as well as boys partici
pated in the uproar and they bore the
burden of the singing.
At 12:4E p. m. the president reached
his hotel and retired for a moment's
rest before taking the seat of honor
at the Commercial Club's lunch. He
was In the best of voice and spirit-!
and looked a fine, tanned picture of
good health after his forty days of
goif at Beverly.
I After luncheon the president went
to the West Side baseball park, where
he attended the game between the
New York and Chicago National
league teams. The president refus?d
to occupy a box and sat In the grand
stand just behind the home team's
bench.
DUE TO VARIOUS CAUSES
Imperial Bank of Germany to AdvanCe
Discount Rate.
Berlin, Sept. 17.—It Is probable that
the rate bf discount of the Imperial
bank of Germany will be advanced to
4 per cent. The private rate of dis
count has been raised steadily during
this month and is now a full 1 per
cent higher than on Aug. 31.
This rise is due chiefly to the activ
ity In speculation on the stock ex
changes. which shows a greater vol
ume than at any time since the fall of
1905.
Jllpl
Re­
Another cause of this changed situa
tion on the money market Is the
heavy Investment of German money
in foreign securities. The stamp tax
returns show that the imports of such
securities into Germany during the
past five months are more than six
times greater than for the correspond
ing period of 1908.
