Philadelphia, March 2S.-For the first
time on record SO far as surgical history
goes, child patient died yesterday in the
Jefferson hospital from an operation by,
the "bloodless method" of Prof. Adolph
Lorenz for congenital dislocation Of the
hip The child was Bessie Dunlap, years
old.
Every case operated on by DR.. Arons,
the eminent orthopedic surgeon. at Hud-
son, Wisconsin, made an admirable re-
covery. He has cured several hundred
patients with congenital dislocation of the
hip, of all ages, during the long tenure Of
his practice. His operations are safe and
his success phenomenal. A striking pc
culiarity Of his practice Is the fact that
there is no pain to the patient, with any
of his operations.

Discuss California Rates.

Chicago. March 2s.-The making of sum-
mer tourist rates to California was pro-
posed to lines in the Western territory
yesterday by the management Of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe. The Santa Fe
officials not only submitted their plan:
but announced that if the plan did>not
carry, the Santa Fe would take indepehd-
ent action and put in a rate of one fare
for the round trip to Coronado Beach from
June to Aug. 81. The plan is for the
lines to issue combination ticket which
shall include transportation to and from
San Diego, sleeping car fare, meals, hotel
expenses on side trips and two weeks
board at the beach. Under this plan a
two-week stay at San Diego or at the
beach across the bay from that city, and
one day at the Grand Canyon, would cost
a. Chicagoan $13S, including everything.

500 WOULD BUILD TUNNEL
Its Latest Move In the Fight With tho
Northern Pacific

The soo's latest move IN the Lafayette
street terminal controversy with the
Northern Pacific is petition to the st.
Paul council for permission to tunnel the
street for an approach to Its new ter
minals, and also request that the petit
ton Of the Northern Pacific to build q
tunnel under the same street be denied.
The 500 asserts that the Northern Pa
cific plan Is simply to block the Sop; that
the Northern Pacific did not consider such
a project until it learned what the 500
proposed to do: that the Northern Pa
Jciflc request is not for any advantage to
the city, but Is rather detrinent In that
1t blocks the 500; that on the other hand,
the request by the 500 for permission, to
tunnel the street is for the best inter
3ests of the city. as 1t will enable the road
to develop its proposed plans for the hene-
fit of the city.

g DOESN'T WANT ISLAND
Wisconsin Central Men Say Roads Not
- ia After Dr. Halls Domain.

Minneapolis officials of the Wisconsin
Central Sdo not believe that their road is
doing anything to block the citys Gre
matory plans for the P. M. Hall island
above Room island. They have heard
nothing ofrany such thought on the part
of the road, and do not believe that the
company could track Hall island to ad-
vantage. The only move that the road
has in mind just now is a side track from
Boom island across the east channel to
the Nelson paper mill. This will require
putting piles in the east channel. It will
expedite freight business Of the mill
greatly and will do away with the team
hauling of stock and product.

the tributaries and headwaters by
means of dams, reservoirs and cutoffs,

river it is difficult to keep the stream
within bounds.
Those VINO have examined the mat

experts of a generation ago said that
the benefit derived would not Justify

through lands which are almost des-

the Red and the Arkansas rivers is
often parched with heat until it has
