The weather was warm and bamy and

but two of them won and the gallery
banked on the outside s, there was more

pltal yesterday morning in an asphyx;aied
condition, and from statements made by
those who were in charge of the patients
it is just possible that had they been left
10 the action Of the gas a few minutes
longer oxygen would have been a neces-
slty. As 1t was the men were brought
back Ia consciousness by an hours ha:d
work, but If oxygen had been plentiful
the reaction of the poisonous gas would
not have been so painful to the victims.
In cases OF asphy xiaton, morphine poi

Uents taken to The hospital from the
loss OF blotd, the attending physiclans
are almost entirely left to their own re-
sources ami cannot depend upon mo lern
methods OF res orng patients.
Dr. Wei said last evening: ut is often
the case that we are LETT without oxygen
IN the hospital. For the past three days
the oxygen tank has been empty, but We
had II sent 10 lie filed yesterday. 1t IS
often impossible to restore patterns suffer
ing from asnhyxiatIon W thout The aid OF
oXYgen. and had we received hard case
during the Tast few DAYS we would have
oeen compeled to resort TO artificial res
piration only.
1hls form of treatment is not always
successful, but it often is. II Is also
necessary that we should have an electric
battery in good workin order, for it is
exceedingly useful in cases of morphine
poisoning; but the battery we have on
hanG has been out of order for week.
The City Receiving Hospital is not up
to date. There are many things which
should be provided By the city which have
never been provided. Where patient is
weak from lOss OF blood we should have
.1uments for pumping sterihzed salts
into Inc VEINS 10 strengthen their action
and atto mpt to stop the exhausllng tioe.
In fact we are behind the times"
There Is but one tank for oxygen at the
hospital and when lis emptied is neces-
sary Tor the attending physicians 10 wait
until 1t can be rehIled. This lack OF n
necessary article to a hospital has not yet
proved directly fatal, but the time may
come when it is absolutely necessary and

Real estate affairs. so far as city property

their anticipation of better times is whet-

Slowly but surely the bulk of the real
estate business seems to concentrate in the
vicinity OF two blocks, that par OF Market

SEARLES DID NOT RUN AWAY
Says He Will Testify Before the
LexOW Committee.
The Report That He Went to Canton
Denied-Paid a Short Visit
to Washington.

The story which came from Canton
to the effect that the mysterious stranger"
who called on Major Nick iniey Friday
was none other than John +. Searies, the
secretary OF the sugar trust, is not quite
as true as some yarns which emanate from
the home OF the President elect.
The fact is that Mr.. Searles was in this
city from O'Clock Saturday morning
until yesterday. He came on the train
which left New York midnight Friday,
took quarters at the Shoreham, but did
not register. 4 Times reporter met Mr..
Searies in the hotel elevator, and he laughed
heartily while discussing his alleged mys-
terious visit to Mr.. Mckinley.
What about the story that you left
New York in order to escape teStifying
before the Lexow sugar Investigating com
mittee?" asked the reporter.
That, also, is untrue. l had no inten-
ton of not appearing as a witness, nor
did l mean disrespeCt to Senator Lexow
and his colleagues on the committee. l
was served with summons Friday just
as | was about to take a train for this
city to attend To very important business.
It was, and is, my intention to obey that
summons. / shall be in New York NJ on
day morning in time to attend the meeting
OF the committee. j have nothing To fear
from an investigation into the corporation
of which l am secretary"
Mr.. Searles was indicted by the grand
jury OF the District OF Columbia for refus
ing to answer questions proponnded by the
Senate committee which was appointed
to Investigate the reports that Sena tors
had speculated in sugar trust stock. His
case is now pending in the United States
Supreme Court
