Two surgeons Ihre8fene0 with Death II
They Failed in nm Operation.
A rather blood-chilIing adventure, which DR..
Louis Hess and DR.. Arthur Smyle of Williams
burg had in the apartments Of Peter Reiss, q
saloon keeper at Williamsburg, has been brought
to light through q civil suit for professional
services which DR.. Hess has instituted against
Reiss in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Reiss was sick three weeks ago, and
Reiss kept the physicians imprisoned in her
bed room at the point Of loaded gun and
threatened them with death if she died under
their treatment When Reiss fell asleep in
chair while guarding the door the doctors made
their escape.
Dr. Hess was summoned to Eeiss' house De-
cember to attend Mrs Reiss. He found her
In a very serious condition and called in DIR.
Smylie. They concluded that operation vas
necessary TO save her life and 20 informed
Keiss. He offered no objection and told them
that he would rely upon their Judgment
While the operation was in progress a woman
whose curiosity was aroused and who peered
through the keyhole into Mrs. Reiss room saw
the doctors. with their sleeves rolled up, sitting
on chairs near table, She saw one take q
glittering instrument from satchel and think
ing that 1t was a knife and that the physicians
had designs upon Mrs Reiss' life she ran down
to Reiss store and told him of her fears.
Il saw them sharpening the knife with which
they are going to cut your wife, exclaimed the
woman.
The news almost drove Reiss out Of his mind
and he armed himself with shotgun and hur-
ried to the room in which his wife. the mid
wife and the doctors were. His excited con-
ditlon was noticed by DIR. Hess, who asked
Reiss what the trouble was.
Life for life! Life for lifer' exclaimed
Reiss, rs be levelled the weapon at one and
then the other doctor
What have we done to you that you want to
murder us? asked DR.. Smylie, who was trem-
bling with fear and who tried to get near enough
the door to escape.
Don't move another step or you're dead
man, shouted the saloon keeper as he pointed
the gun at Dr. Smylie.
Reiss sat down in chair near the door, and
with the weapon still pointed at the physicians,
he said:
III my wife dies under your treatment shall
kill You both like dogs with this gun. Now. 90
ahead with your work"
DIR. Hess and DIR. Smylie had been in the
room nearly an hour when they made q second
effort TO leave. Reiss appeared to be doing in
his chair, but as DIR. Hess was turning the knob
of the hall door Reiss opened his ewes and
threatened them with instant death if they left
the room. They returned to Mrs. Reiss bed
SIDE, where they remained twenty minutes
longer. when Reiss fell into a sound sleep.
The doctors ran out of the house, while sew
erai neighbors disarmed Reiss. He was furious
when he discovered that he had been outwitted
and was on the point Of going to DR.. Hess
house when o relative dissuaded him.

RUssIA'S SECRET Work.
The Dissolution of the Roumanian Parlia-
meut Caused by Her Jealousy.

ment laused her JenfOusy
The recent dissolution of the Roumanian
chambers is considered a victory for Russian
intrigue. The Russians have been laboring
with unusual earnestness of late to secure pre-
dominant influence in Roumania- 1t is said in
Vienna that Russia is only waiting to be sure Of
Roumania's neutrality or cooperation to attack
Bulgaria
The recent attempt to drive King Charles
into abdicsting is attributed to Russian infiu-
enee, the Russians being jealous of the pres
ence of German, and especially hohen-
zollern, on the throne OF the leading Balkan
state.
King Charles and his ministers have shown q
stubborn determination to prevent Russia vio-
lating Roumanian territory, and the Russian
naneuyers on the Pruth have not only been
, ,ilantly watched, but also reported through
out Europe, to the great chagrin of the Rus
slams. who want secrecy for their military
operations. This has made Russian agents the
more active in their plots against King Charles
and his advisers, and the dissolution Of the
chambers is the result.
The elections. which will be held in Febru-
sry, will be test OF the strength of Russian in
huence. and are expected to have an important
bearing on the Balkan problem
