HAIRPLN IN BODY
FOR THREE YEARS
Nature Performs Rare Sur
gical Operation Upon
a Boy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 11.-Lit-
tie Ned Knox, 1923 Roanoke street,
is recovering from a rare surgical Op-
Grafton, performed by nature herself
under the direction of DR.. D. H. Harold,
1919 North Capitol avenue. The cause
of the trouble was a hairpin, two and
half inches long, which the boy sWal-
lowed three years ago, and which has
since that time been working it's way
out of his body.n
About three years ago the boy SEEM
ed to be in bad Health and something
checked his growth. The cause of the
trouble was a mystery There was no
pain and the trouble could not be To-
Gated. The friends of the family often
spoke of the stunted condition of the
lad, but it could not be explained. Two
weeks ago the boy was attacked with
severe pains in the abdomen. DR..
Harold was called and after careful
examination, diagnosed the trouble as
appendicitis. DR.. Harold never oper-
ates in these cases and he awaited the
results of his treatment in this case.
Twice some sort of an abscess broke
into the bowels and the mystery deep
ened. Finally DR.. Harold called DR..
E. M. Haggard in consultation, and the
two decided to wait for further deveI-
opments.
Last Wednesday a swelling in the
abdomen just above the right groin
was noticed. There was pain about
the little hard lump that rose there
and the place was pCulticed Two
days later an abscess broke where the
swelling had been. The boys mother
dressed the wound and in doing so was
almost frightened cut Of her wits by
what seemed to be the bow Of hair
pin. She called the physicians and
DR.. Harold pulled the little piece of
wire out without difficulty, for it had
come out bow first.
The supposition is, said DR.. Har-
old, that the pin was swallowed about
three years age. Since that time it
has been working its way out of the
boys system. From the place that 1t
came cut, l should say that it travelled
about twenty feet within the bowels
before it came to "a place where it
would no longer have free passage.
when it took another course, forcing
its way through the bowels and the
obstructing Innings to the surface. The
case is a most reTparkable one. The
wonder is that the pin did not kill
the boy months ago.
THE condition of the boy is now
as good as we expected and from all
appearances he, will eventually re-
cover"
DR.. Harold saved the pin and carries
it in his medicine case to display to his
friends in the profession.

PITCH INTO THE UNION.
Attorneys for Operators Tell What a
Dreadful Thing 1t Is.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IL
Counsel for the coal operators today
continued to arraign the Miners
union IN arguments before the strike
commission. The independent opera
tors of the Lehigh, the Wyoming and
the LackaWanna regions held the at
tention of the commissioners the great
er part of the day. The proceedings
concluded with the presentation of the
leading companys argument by
Simon P. Wolverton, the company's
chief counsel
In nearly every case the ATTORNEYS
charged President Mitchell with re-
spcnslb1I1ty for the alleged lawlessness
in the coal regions during the strike
and the union was characterized as an
irresponsible organization whose mem
bers were beyond the control of the
leaders. Wolverton strongly urged the
incorporation of the union, and
charged that it was unfit to control
the anthracite industry because BOYS
are numbered among it's members.
Samuel Dickson argued the case of
the Lehigh Coal & Navigation com
pany, G. B. Markle & Co., and other
independent operators in the Lehigh
region. He defended the attitude of the
Markle company, asserting that it was
justified in the stand it took against
It's men when the strike was declared
on because it had not been a party to
the correspondence resulting in the an
polntment Of the commission.
Francis I. Gowen, for the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, suggested that
the commission recommend the estab-
blishment of a shift consisting of q
certain number of cars 10 constitute q
days work, the men able to do the
amount of work required to receive an
increase in wages.
Ira II. Burns, counsel for the indie
pendent operators in the Lackawanna
and Wyoming regions argued prin-
clpaliy on the point of the right of the
individual to control his own labor.
Others who presented arguments
were J. B. Kerr, representing the
Scranton Coal company, and former
Judge Alfred Hand, for the independ
ent operators of the Scranton district.

brothers, Roman and Emile Daurignac,
maintained an attitude of calm def
ance. The case does not involve the
main question concerning the Craw-
ford millions, but NJ. Cattanfs charge
that they libeled him in referring to
him as a usurer, which indirectly af-
fects the whole affair.
Nine. Humbert gave a long, ram
bling statement of her dealings with
M. Cattani and alleged that his de-
mands for excessive interest and her
borrowings from him amounted to
about 100000. When M. Cattani was
heard and repudiated the charge of
usury, Nine. Humbert sprang from her
seat and asked for the privilege of
interrogating the banker, but the pre-
siding magistrate repressed her.
Defense in Nine. Humbert's Hands.
The testimony furnished by Marie
Daurignac today showed evidence of
ali intention to leave to Nine. Hum
bert the direction of the plans for the
prisoners defense. Roman Daurignac
confirmed his sisters account of the
dealings with Cattani, whose charac-
ter he painted in the blacklist colors.
After several other witnesses had been
heard the court adjourned until to-
morrow.
The impression formed by those
who have followed todays proceed
ings is that Nine. Therese Humbert
has all her wits about her and is a
woman of strong character. Her tes-
timony was a mixture of an attack on
usurers as the cause of her ruin
lamentations over her sufferings and
half-veiled threats. She once broke
in with demand that the minister OF
justice, Homerly M. Cattani's lawyer,
be called as a witness.
Several times she expressed conf
dence in the justice of her country
when the story she intended to tell
before the assize court was heard.
