MAY BRING DEAD
BACK TO LIFE.

Savannah Physicians Following
Experiments in Heart Surgery.
There has been considerable discus
sion recently in medical circles over the
claims of a New York physician that
a person once dead may be massaged
back to life. The experiment involves
an incision between the ribs to allow
the inserting of the fingers, which
grasp the heart. squeezing it sufficient
ly to revive circulation. Artificial res
piration is then produced with pump.
A number of Savannah physicians
were seen by the Morning News, and
while few have Investigated the mat
ter, it is regarded as altogether posi-
BILE to restore life in that way in cases
of lesion or wound, but, of course, in
cases of death from prolonged illness
it is beyond possibility to restore the
normal action of the heart.
DR.. Benjamin M. Ricketts, of Cincin-
natl read a paper before the Tri-State
Medical Society in Columbia S. c., in
February on heart and lung surgery.
The paper was illustrated by slides
showing the method of restoring the
heart to action. DR.. Ricketts, has been
experimenting in heart surgery for
many years. The experiments have
been with dogs largely. After the
heart was punctured the wound was
sewed up, the animal recovered and
later was killed to observe the success
of the exneriD1ent
At one time a needle puncture of the
heart was thought always to result in
death. In a series of experiments in
which twenty-seven dogs were used,
nine of them whose hearts having been
punctured and treated by suture,
recovered.
prominent Savannah physician who
heard DR.. Ricketts, paper before the
Tri-State Society at Columbia, said
that he had followed with much inter
est the treatment of heart wounds. In
cases of collapse of persons from the
use of chloroform, by asphyxiation and
similar causes it is possible, by grasp
ing the heart through the walls of the
body, to induce a movement that will
restore it's action. The subject is one
of great interest. and experiments are
being followed carefully.

TO Be FOUR STORIES
NEW NATIONAL BANK WILL HAVE
A HANDSOME BUILDING.
PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED
AND BANK DIRECTORS ARE CARE
FULLY CONSIDERING THEM.

Building May he of Marble and Is
posing in the City-Six Architects
Were Invited to Draw Plans md
All ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Are Not
HurryinE Themselves and Cues
ton of Cost Has Not Yet Been Dis
cussed-PrObnbIe That 100000
Will Be Spent on Structure.
Although it is hardly likely that the
new National Bank, to be erected at
the northwest corner of Bull and
Broughton streets, will be more than
four stories high, when it is completed
it will be one of the handsomest struc-
lures in the city.
By invitation plans were submitted
by G. L. Norman of Atlanta, H. w.
Witcover of Savannah, Seymour and
Paul A. Davis of Philadelphia, Frank
P. Milburn of Columbia, H. ]. Klutho
of Jacksonville and Mowbray & Uffin-
ger of New York. These plans have
been gone over twice by the directors
of the bank, but no conclusion has yet
been reached.
The plans are all creditable, but
those submitted by Mr.. Witcover at
tracted the attention of the directors
probably more than any of the others
The invitation to the architects speci-
fed that the building should be three
stories high, but it seems likely that
another story will be added. Mr. Wit
covers drawing shows a particularly
imposing building of marble and
caught the eye of those who saw it.
No opinions, however, have been thus
far expressed by any of the directors.
1t was originally planned to have
ten-story building, but this idea has
been abandoned. The structure that
will go up, however, will be none the
less imposing and it is estimated will
cost somewhere between 10000 and
800, 900. The directors are not hurry
ing themselves and have not yet be-
gun to go into details. They are taking
their time in going over the plans. and
will determine the style of building
they desire before inquiring into the
cost. The architects who drew the
plans are in the city. All of them sub
mitted plans for the proposed new City
Hall.

EXCELLENT APPEARANCE.

Attired in their dress uniform and
leggins. and executing every command
with precision and dispatch, the Sa-
vannah Cadets, under command of
Capt. J. T. West. paraded yesterday

in line in addition to the officers. Head
ed by the First Regiment Band, they
left the armory at $50 o'clock, the line
around the left side of the squares,
and returning. around the opposite
sides of the squares.

they have enjoyed, he being one of the
charter members of the company In
spector of Rifle Practice ]. c. Tyson,
Commissary Sergt. George Elton, and
Post Quartermaster Sergeant f. E.

mand.
At the conclusion of the drill the
command assembled in it's company

where a collation. was spread. Col
Jordan F. Brooks. for many years the
commanding officer of the Cadets, ad-
dressed the men, complimenting them
upon their soldierly appearance and
faultless execution of commands, and
making a few suggestions of value as

zen soldiery.
The Cadets constitute one of the
strongest military commands in the
state. Both in the execution of the
manual of arms and infantry move
ments, and also in the use of the rife
they excel. Their appearance yester-
day was up to the usual standard of
excellence maintained by the COM
mand, and bespeaks the discipline en-
forced by Capt. West. who is greatly
aided by the esprit de corps of the
men.

Mack Scott Suing s. A. L. for $4,000
in City and Superior COurts.
The existence of two suits contain
ing the same subject matter and hav-
ing the same parties, one of which is
in the Superior Court, and the other
in the City Court, is the rather unus-
ual status of the litigation of Mack
Scott against the Sea board Air Line
Railway.
Scott sued for the recovery of $10-
600 from the railroad company for in
juries received in the wreck at Ever
green, in which Engineer Pearce was
killed. The first suit was filed in the
City Court about ten days ago. A day
or two later a suit by the same party,
for the same amount, against the same
road, and for the same damages was
instituted in the Superior Court
Both suits are now pending. The at
torney for Scott in the City Court is
Shelby Myrick while the attorney for
Scott in the Superior Court is w. H.
Boyd. Both gentlemen have their ex-
plantations for the unusual status re-
rum. 1t is probable that there will be
some developments when the suits are
called for trial
