RESTORED BY ELECTRICITY.
Peculiar Case Of Young Man Who Slept
Six Weeks

The New York American of today says:
| From a death-like sleep that took him to
| the very verge of the grave C. Endicott
| Allen. the young man who has been lying
| for six weeks at the Monmouth Memorial
| Hospital at Long Branch in trance that
nearly defied the best medical and surgical
skill that could be obtained. has emerged
with his brain unclouded and his life once
more In his grasp.
Yesterday the young man sat up in
wheel-chair for several hours and was al
lowed to take few steps across the hos
pital floor. supported by nurse. Today
he will be given little more exercise and
by Saturday DR.. Walter s. Whitmore of
Oceanic. whose deep interest in the young
| mans case has resulted in his recovery,
hopes to take the lad out for drive.
DR.. Whitmore made a complete state
ment of the case. which is one OF the most
peculiar and interesting In the annals of
medical science.
There have been many cases of persons
falling asleep and remaining in that con-
ditiOn for several weeks. but in almost
every case so recorded there has been some
brain lesion that has ultimately proved
fatal, and IL the sleeper walked at all it
was only to fall In short time into the
sleep of death In young Aliens case.
however, everything seems favorable for
complete recovery.
The young mans condition was I'M
questionably the result OF worry and
shock said DIR. Whitmore. He had wor-
ried great deal since his fathers death
and was out of employment. He had ma
circulated at Harvard. but was unable to
carry out his plan of entering that uni
versity.
II attribute his recovery partly. IL not
wholly. to the therapeutic application Of
electricity. 1 have had his case in charge
from the beginning. and had tried every
other remedial agent that 1 knew of or
could learn about
About two weeks ago 1 decided as a
last resort to try the electrical current.
Allen awake for a short time then
and I told him what 1 was going to
do He seemed to be afraid of cleo
tricity and begged not to do 1t. He
said II 1 wouldn't apply the battery he
would try to keep awake. but even as he
talked his eyes closed and he fell into the
trance again.
Il first began applying a mild. uninter-
rupted current to get him accustomed to
1t. Then / began interrupting the current
to produce a series of shocks, and grad
uaily increased the strength OF the cur
rent. By the of comparatively strong
shocks OF electricity he has been, as hope
finally and completely awakened.
He is now perfectly rational and talks
as well anybody. but everything that
has occurred in the last six weeks is a
blank to him. He tells me- however, that
he did once or twice recognize his mother
as she stood by his bedside. but was un-
able to speak to her.
II consider his case one Of the very rare
ones in which recovery was possible"

MIR. HERMANN'S GHOST,

It seems strange that the Eu-
gene convention should have turn
ed from the bright and blame1ess
young men offered as candidates,
to name Mr.. Hermann for congress.
Mr.. Hermann is ever a genial per.
son, and time was, when he was a
useful congressman. But a stalk
ing ghost follows him now. It
points an accusing finger and asks,
constantly, ''Why, Mr.. Hermann.
did you quit Office under the Roose-
welt administration"
Apparently, the Eugene dele
CATION did not see this ghost; yet it
is to be reckoned with. Either Sec
retary Hitchcock was wrong, or
Mr.. Hermann as commissioners was
wrong. The president retained Mr..
Hitchcock, and Mr.. Hermann was
sent home wearing scar and b1emish.
For an Oregon convention under the
circumstances to insist on returning
him to Washington, rehabilitated
and clothed with new power, is, at
least, unexpected. More respect
would seem to be due the admins
tratiou.

HIS FAIR CHALLENGE.

President Roosevelt offers open
battle to the democrats on a fair
field next year. Twice in public
address since his Western tour
began, he has declared that there is
to be no tariff revision until after
the presidential election, which in
terpreted means that there is to be
no revision at ali by Mr.. Roosevelt S
party. The utterance is frank,
open cha1lengeto the democrats to
fight next years battle on the tar
iff issue, and. at a time when the
disadvantages to the republican
position are most manifest. It is
the issue upon which the democrat
ic party has survived for hundred
years, and upon which, it is stron-
gest and best united. It is the is.
sue upon which its greatest tri-
umphs have been won. If the
democrats choose to accept the
challenge. Mr.. Roosevelt will have
to fight enemies, not only in front
but in. the rear. There is a great
schism in his own party, and for
two years great newspapers and
leading statesmen therein have
been urging a revision of the tariff
with intelligence and determination.
To profess wish to curb or con-
troll the trusts and at the same time
to demand a high tariff for these
monster organizations of aggregated
wealth and watered stock to feed
upon, will place Mr.. Roosevelt in a
position both inconsistent and inde-
fensib1e. Until American people
can buy American made goods at
prices as low as they are sold for
in Europe and elsewhere, trusts and
tariffs to enrich trusts, cannot be
successfully defended. Yet Mr..
Roosevelt is frank, fair and open.
He offers to fight the democrats on
the very field that they ought to be
most eager to select.

WENT TO SEE KoEHLER..
And Sent Petitions--The Morning and
q Evening Train for Corvallis. \

Wednesday'sTIM said moth
ing had been done by Corvallis
lites for securing a morning and ev-.
ening train service over the West
side. That was an error. The
TIMES fell into it through the
statement of an Independence man
who was in Corvallis. Last week
S. N. Wilkins circulated a petition
asking the railroad company to
grant the service, and secured many
signers. The petition was forward
ed to the company at Portland.
In addition, W. E. Yates, M. S
Woodcock and H. w. Hall, while
in Portland about the same time,
called on Manager Koehler and had
an hours conversation with him
on the subject of the proposed train
service. They urged with the best
reasons they could command that
the better service be extended Cor
wallis. =
Mr.. Koehler was kind. and ap-
parently anxious to accommodate
But, he quoted figures without
limit, setting forth the expense to
which the scheme would put his
company. The impression that he
gave his callers was that the South
ern Pacific was hardly likely to put
on the train.
Mr.. Koehler said the easiest and
cheapest way for Corvallis to be
served with a morning and ev-
ening train was over the G. & E.
from Albany He said he had
urged Manager Stone of the G &
E. company to put on morning
and evening train, connecting with
the seven o'clock local from Albany
into Portland. Mr.. Koeh1er also
indicated that the reply of Mr..
Stone was, that such a train had
been operated for a time between
Corvallis and Albany, and that it
did not pay.
Meantime, Corvallis deserves the
morning and evening train, if not
via one, then over the other route.
Effort, united1y and persistently ap-
piled by many people. can accom-
plish wonders. Progress does not
come to town that sits down and
waits for it, If the agitation now
on is continued, doubtless a way
will be found for securing this train
service. Its establishment on a
permanent basis, would be one of
the very best things that could
happen to Corvallis.

TO KEEP RECORD NOW.
of Every Births Every Death and
Burial-C ertifcates Of Burial.

|x f@t@ Il Srif
Itis necessary now to- make Off
cial record of every birth and every
death. A new law that is already
in effect, requires every physician,
midwife or head of the family to
give notice by the end of the month
to the county health officer Of any
birth that occur under his or
her charge. Every physician mid
wife or head Of a family must give
notice to such health officers within
48 hours of every death. No burial
can take place until a proper burial
certificate has been made out, and
transmitted to the county health
officer.
Ali these requirements are the
result of the act creating the state
board of health, which passed the
last legislature. It contained an
emergency clause, and took effect
on its approval by the governor.
It creates county, as well as a
state health board. The county
board is the county judge and
county physician. If there is no
county physician, is the case in
Benton, then the county judge is
the county board of health as well
as the county health officer.
To this officer must b reported
"a11 infectious diseases, deaths,
causes thereof, places of burial of
every person, that dies in said
county, and in the case of birth of
any child give name of parents,
their residence and their occupation.
Power is given the County Board
of Health to quarantine against in
fectious diseases in other county or
counties of the state, to quarantine
any case Or cases of infectious dis
eases within said county, and to
call upon all police officers. sheriffsl
and constables to enforce such quar-
antine. All cases of birth, death,
burial and infectious diseases are
reported by the county health Off,
Ger to the secretary of the State
Board of Health where a complete
record IS kept.
Blanks have not been supplied to
County Judge Waters, but they are
expected at any time. As soon as
a supply is received they will be is
sued to physicians and others, and
the law will be put into operation.
1t will add materially to the duties
of the county judge, all physicians
and others. The penalty for viola
tion of the law is fine of not less
than $40 or more than $Ioo. The
full text of the new law can be- seen
in copy of the new session laws,
just received at the county clerks
office.
Clerk Moses also has copies of
the session laws for distribution to
justices of the peace.

SPECIAL COPS BAR DEVERY.
Ex-Chief Blackballed for Honorary Men,
bership in Their Association.

Big Bill Devery has suffered another
rebuff. 1t was learned yesterday that he
had applied twice for membership In the
Special Patrolmen's Benevolent Associa-
ton and each time had been blackballed.
A good many Of the members Of the
association are ex-policemen. 1t has a
membership Of 800 and clubhouse at 70
East Fourth street. Some time ago the
special policemen decided to admit hon.
orary members, and such well known
citizens as Big Tim, and Florrie Sui
Ivan, John T. Oakley. Commissioner Wood
bury and others were taken in.
Devery forwarded an application for
honorary membership. No action was
taken on the matter. and the Big Chief
forwarded application No. 2, which arrived
Just before the associations annual dinner
several weeks ago. At the dinner the
executive committee took up the Devery
application. The result was that Bill
was blackballed. In fact, he didn't get
favorable vote.
John Abrams, who keeps order at Huber g
Museum, is the president Of the association.
He said yesterday:
at Is true that we turned Devery down.
He never did anything for U.S. and we didn't
want him in our association. Further
more we heard that he intended making
our organization part of his political outfit
and the members are not in sympathy with
Devery or his ideas. Police Commissioner

SCHOOLMA'AMS IN AN ICE wagon.
Went Home Dry ShOd and Had Lot or
Fun-Iceman Enjoyed II. Zoo.

Half a dozen Hoboken schoolma ans
who wanted to get home in the storm with
out getting wet yesterday appealed to
Secretary William Kerr OF the Commits
sioners Of Public instruction to help them
out. Kerr tried to have a cab sent to the
school in Park avenue, where the teachers
were detained, but was not successful,
He finally told the teachers that the best
he could do would be to send them home
in an ice wagon, which friend of his put
at their service. The young women didn't
like the idea of riding in the wagon, but they
we're very anxious to get home and finally
agreed to use it.
Kerr got the iceman on the telephone.
and the wagon was soon in front OF
the school. The schoolma' ans had to
raise their skirts very high to climb into
the wagon but the driver obligingly looked
at the insulators on the nearest electric
light pole and the teachers were soon com
fortably ensconoed on improvised seats
under the friendly cover of the vehicle.
Miss Katherine Hicks, who is known
in Hoboken social circles as versatile
amateur reciter, entertained the rest OF
the teachers with coon songs and stories
on the way home The driver rang
the bell at each young woman's resi-
dence and shouted Ice" As soon as a
door was opened schoolma' am would
pop out of the wagon and make for the
house.
II took the iceman more than an hour
to dispose of his load 1t was more fun
he said, than peddling ice.

Seven years ago a childless couple in
Brooklyn went to the Charities Commiss
sioners and said they wanted to adopt
baby which they could bring up as their
own. Some time later a healthy youngster
was turned over to them after adoption
papers had been signed. In time they
realized that there was strong tinge OF
negro blood in the baby's veins. As the
child grew older, the evidence OF negro
blood became more and more apparent
At last the couple, after considerable dis
cussion as to their moral obligations. de-
cided to return the child. They took it
to the Charities Department and told the
whole story to Deputy Commi ssioner
Charles E. Teale.
They urged that, under the circumstances,
they could not keep the child and asked
to be relieved of it. Mr.. Teae told them
that he appreciated their position and
would do all he could for them. The child
was left in his care and remained in the
