RACES FOR HIS LIFE
WITH AN ARM CUT OFF.
Brave Man Takes Wild Ride to Near
est Physician After Losing .
Limb In Feed Cutter.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Danbury. Conn, March 2.-With one arm
severed and left lying in farm building
behind him. Hiram J. Stevens. wealthy
stock breeder had a desperate fve-mile
ride against death, and he owes his life
to his own courage and the speedy trotting
horse that brought him to this city and to a
surgeon.
Stevens was experimenting work on his
farm and when something went wrong with
feed cutter operated by horse power he
reached into the machine and his coat
sleeve was drawn into the choppers. In an
instant the sharp knives severed his left
arm between the wrist and elbow and the
hand and forearm dropped into the feed
bin.
The cut was clean. and Stevens realized
that he would bleed to death unless he
could reach a surgeon quickly. With mar
velous nerve he directed his men to make
tourniquet out of rope halter and a
stick and told them how to twist 1t about
the stump of his arm to check the flow Of
blood
A fast horse was brought from the stable
and Stevens and his brother-n-law, Fred
erick Jewel. driver of trotting horses,
for the city, five miles away. The rough
tourniQuet had only partially stopped the
hemcrrhage, and Stevens life depended
upon the speed Of the horse. The FIVE miles
were covered at a three-minute pace Peo-
pie looked in establishment after buggy and
Its occupants as they dashed through the
city.
Stevens was weak when he reached the
police station. where Doctor r. NJ English
dressed the arm. but he rallied after the
operation and will recover.

Bishop Glennon's Appointment to
Place Only Awaits Official
Confirmation.
ARCHBISHOP KAHN is PLEASED.
Premature Announcement of the
Natican's Action Due to Miscon-
structiOn of Cablegram's Rep
clifton Over Telephone.

Although a coadjutor for St Louis has
not been technically appointed and cannot
be so appointed until April 6. there is little
doubt in the mind of Archbishop Kahn and
the local Catholic Clergy that Bishop John
dorsed by the propaganda, which practical
iy assures him the appointment.
The positive announcement of Bishop
Glennons appointment in yesterday morn
inss papers came about through the mis-
the part of the nuns OF the Visitation Con-
vent and the Reverend Father David S.
Phelan.
Yesterday a cablegram from the Asso-
GATED Press correspondent saying that ad-
vices from the Vatican led to the belief
that Bishop Giennon had been indorsed by
Inc propaganda, was received.
Archbishop Kahn and his private secre-
tary. the Reverend Father Byrne, placed
great faith in the dispatch, and last night
t i,ati Syrne called up a sister at the Wis
of the cablegram to her. She evidently
misunderstood him, or took the report as
matter of fact.
She telephoned to Father Phelan. and he
understood that the cabegram was pri-
yate one to the Archbishop, and so in
formed the morning papers. Representa-
tives of the press were unable to see either
Rather Byrne or Archbishop Kahn Wednes-
day night. and the facts as related by Fa-
Their Phelan were printed.
Bishop G1ennon arrived in the city yes
terday morning and after officiating at or
dination exercises at kenrick Seminary,
dined there with Father Nugent, Arch
bishop Kahn and Father Phelan. The ac-
counts of the appointment were thoroughly
discussed.
Archbishop Kahn takes the view that
Bishop GlennOn was recommended for the
position by the propaganda yesterday, and
that the information was given to the press
In Rome. However, no appointment Is
official until it receives the sanction of the
Pope.
The Archbishop thinks this will be given
April g. In Holy Week the Pope is to hold
two private consistories.
AT one, on April 6, the Bishops appoint
ments will be announced, and on April 9
the Cardinals appointments will be made
known
