SHAW SEES ROOSEVELT.
Secretary of Treasury Goes to Oyster

A dispatch from Oyster Bay last night
says: Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M.
Shaw arrived here tonight, and after din
ing at the residence of a friend proceeded
to Sycamore Hill. where he will be guest
of the President until some time tomorrow.
The object of the Secretarys visit to the
President at this time Is twofold. For
some time he has been collecting informa-
ton from various sources on the subject
of currency legislation. and this he desired
to present to Mr.. Roosevelt. Both the
President and Secretary Shaw have been
working to the same end. but along differ
ent lines.
President Roosevelt has been in consulta-
ton with representatives and senators In
Congress on the subject. and. in addition.
has been In correspondence with individual
bankers and representatives Of bankers in
every part of the country, and representing
every phase of opinion.
Secretary Shaw has been in personal con-
sultation with financial authorities of both
the west and the east. He and the Presi
dent will compare notes with view Of as
certaining whether a basis of agreement
on specific legislation is likely in the near
future.
Secretary Shaw also desires to consult
the President regarding a plan to relieve
any temporary stringency in the money
market. 1t Is known that the Secretary
has a plan in mind for the depositing of
certain moneys Of the government in ma
tionaI bank repositories. 1t Is possible
some conclusion may be Reached as to the
putting of the plan into operation before
Secretary Shaw returns to Washington.

A meeting Of the Arlington district school
board. composed of Messrs. A. P. Douglas,
Colonel w. c. Shelley and DR.. Charles B.

the question of building the new Columbia
school house near Arlington was discussed
at length. 1t appeared that the board has
been very diligent about the matter, and
plans had been selected and bids thereon
taken from several contractors and a site
of land selected for the proposed new
school house, but the hitch occurred from
the fact that the parties owning the land
live in different parts of the United States
and had been enabled but few days ago
to sign the deed granting the land to the
school board. and the deed has yet to be
approved by Judge Love Of the county
court. The judge was requested to hear
the case yesterday. but could not.
The deed will be brought before Judge
Love on Tuesday next II the judge con-
sents to hear the matter The school board
expressed considerable irritation at the de-
lay of the land owners in not having the
deed ready. On motion Of Trustee Shelly
the time was extended until Thursday
next, September g. to get the approval OF
the judge to the title of the proposed lot,
or else the board would proceed to select
some other location. The delay In build
ing the school house is not caused by the
trustees, but by the delay of the land own

SHE CAME BACK TO LIFE.
Groans From Coffin on Depot Platform
Caused Sensation.

SoNoCA 0CASol1Ou.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Durham. N. c., last night says:
An unusual case OF the temporary re-
v1val of a person supposed to be dead
occurred just over the Virginia line the
subject being a woman whose body had
been shipped from this city to another
point for interment.
Julia Stanfield, colored who was living
in Durham, became very i'll and her doctor
decided that 1t was necessary to perform
surgical operation. She was carried to
the hospital for colored people here and
prepared for the ordeal. Chloroform was
administered. AS she lay on the operating
table her heart suddenly stopped beating.
The doctors worked on her,for some time
in an attempt to resuscitate her. but in
vain. The drug apparently had killed her.
After minute examination a death GER
uflcate was issued and the undertaken
placed the body in coffin and case to be
shipped to her old home at Cunningham
N C.. for interment. Cunningham is near
the Virginia border, and the railway to
that point passes through Virginia.
At Denniston Junction, Halifax county
the body was to be transferred. While the
coffin rested on the platform at Dennston
waiting to be carried to another train one
of the railway employees heard a peculiar
noise. and in a moment he found that the
movement and commotion were inside the
coffin Bystander5 distinctly heard the
groanS OF the woman Others heard 1t, and
the lid of the casket was soon removed.
1t was found that the woman had her
hands to her throat, as If trying to relieve
choking sensation. Her hands and face
were covered with perspiration and her
dress near the belt was also saturated.
She lived only a short time after she re-
covered consciousness. however.
The supposition is that the woman was
restored to life, and. finding that She was
in coffin, choked herself to death or else
died of suffocation. After the casket was
opened she hardly breathed again. but the
body remained warm for some time after
ward. although this was twenty-six hours
after she was supposed to have died on the
operating table.
The body was sent on to Cunningham for
interment.
