sIsTs REoUIsITIoN.
Twice Released Under Writ of Habeas
Corpus-Will Be Brought
Here for Trial.

Detective Frank Helan, who went to San
Francisco three weeks ago to look after the
case OF John Lawrence O'Brlen, the al
legged defaulter. returned home yesterday
afternoon and reported to Major Sylvester
and Captain Boardman the many moves
made in the efforts to prevent the return
of O'Brien to this city. When the detective
reached San Francisco, he said, he found
that the accused had been released on 81 500
bond. Habeas corpus proceedings were in
stituted and O'Brien was released. He was
promptly rearrested and a second time he
gained his freedom on writ Of habeas
corpus Again he was taken into custody
and turned over to the federal authorities.
At the last hearing he was held for the
authorities here and was unable to give
the $500 bond required. The arrest of
O'Brien proved severe shock to his bride
of few days, but she remained in San
Francisco until the order was made to re-
turn her husband here for trial She Wis
tied him every day during the time he was
incarcerated and did what she could for his
comfort.
When OBrien was placed under arrest at
the hotel. the detective stated, he express
ed a Willingness to return without the for
mality of a reQuisition. but a change came
over him after he had consulted counsel
and he announced that he would fight the
proceedings at every stage and he felt GER
tain that he would not be turned over to
the marshal. His counsel was Mr.. e. P.
Troy. who was a classmate of the prisoner
at the Georgetown Law School. Mr.. Troy
was private secretary to Senator White OF
California.
Detective Helan started for home Monday
morning at 10 o'clock and reached here
about ) o. clock yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the intention of Mrs. O'Brien to make the
start Tuesday morning in order to reach
home this afternoon. Her husband will

week. He will come In the custody of Mar

PLAN APPROVED.
Project Of Rebuilding Electric Cable
Lines on Aoueduct Bridge.

The Commissioners have approved plan
submitted by the Potomac Electric Power
Company for rebuilding the company's lines
Of cable on the Aqueduct bridge. The plan
provides for the use of lead-covered cables
over the two sections of the bridge between
the north bank of the canal and the river
supported on iron hangers. On the section
over the river the cables will be rubber
covered and supported on insulators placed
on wooden arms. The secondary wires are
to remain in their present position. The
transformer in the center Of the bridge will
be thoroughly insulated from the iron work
and that secondary circuits will by ground
ed to the bridge. The lead-covered cables
will be bonded together and to the bridge.
The supports for the cables will be placed
at least nine feet above the lower chord
on that portion of the. bridge which spans
the river. The wires wfh1-then be out Of
reach Of inspectors and others who may
have occasion to cross the bridge In the

HOT WATER CURES TUMoRs.
Fluid at 100 to 212 Degrees of Heat
Injected Directly Into the Growth.

From the New York Herald
After a practical experience of two years
In treating tumors by a new method-that
of injecting boiling water into the growth
Dr John A. Wyeth OF this city has made a
public announcement Of his new system.
He says that as not single accident has
occurred In any of his operations, and as
the results have been very satisfactory, he
feels justified in recommending the method
to the medical profession.
In his operations DR.. Wyeth employs a
syringe with a metal cylinder and adjust
able piston, with neeoies of varying size.
Using the ordinary aseptic precautions, wa
ter is taken directly from a cauldron and
injected into the substance of the tumor.
The water must be at temperature of
from 1870 to PIP degrees Fahrenheit, or even
higher.
Dr. Wyeth says that he shall report the
results OF his treatment at the meeting or
the American Meolcal Association in New
Orleans next May. In this weeks number
OF the New York Medical Journal how
ever, he gives a detailed description OF the
method he has discovered of successfully
eradicating the dangerous growths which
affiict humanity.
The quantity of water employed" says
he. 'and the temperature should vary with
the size and character OF the tumor. In
the arterial and venouS tumors of large
size the needle is thrust deeply into the
mass and from thirty to sixty minims Of
water are injected. The needle Is then
withdrawn from one-haif CT an inch to an
Inch and the operation Of injecting the
boiling water Is continued until the entire
tumor Is solidified.
1.-THE water should be hot enough to coag-
uiate the blood and the albuninoids of the
tissues Immediately, but 1t should not be
forced in so extremely hot and under such
pressure as 10 scald and produce a necrosis
OF the skin"
Three forms OF vasculas tumors were
treated by DR.. Wyeth-the arterial, the
capillary and the venous. In operating on
what are known as mothers marks on
the eyeid. nostril or margin Of the lip he
employs a small instrument with a delicate
needle. In these cases the water used is
q little below the boiling point. Small
Quantities of water are injected, and the
operation is repeated after a week or ten
days.
In larger tumors the water Is kept at the
boiling point while the injections are being
made For this purpose he has devised a
long metal instrument, under the barrel of
which While the operation IS in progress. a
Bunsen burner is held, thus maintaining the
high temperature of the w&ter in the barrel
OF the syringe.
During the treatment the patient Is put
under the influence of narcotics. DR.. Wyeth
adds that in no instance in his experience
did any painful symptoms or septic reaction
occur.

NORMAL AND CURRENT TEMPERATURES FOR NOVEMBER.

at a glance an idea of the true extent Of the
benefcence of old Sol. The dotted line run
ming jaggedly along the upper portion Of
the chart and numbered 3 shows the daily
temperature during November 1862. The
heavy line in the center Of the chart, num-
bered l. shows the average November tenn
peratures in Washington during the past
thirtytwo years. The light line running
along the lower portion of the chart, and
numbered 2, gives the temperatures Of No
vember. 1901. Contrasting the run of Their
mometer IN 1901 with the runs Of 1902, the
observer will note how very unusual the
weather Of last month really was. 1t will
be noticed that during the latter part Of the
month especially was the difference most
notable. Whereas last year the tempera-
ture was such that fires were absolutely
needed, this year the mercury was up
almost to summer heat. Some Of the
daily differences shown by the chart are
truly remarkable. Some of the chilliest
days of November a year ago IRE contrasted

1t is, Of course. impossible to say how
many lives have been saved by the favor

no doubt that the death rate would have
been materially increased had sucn condi-

The average November temperature in
