PRAISE FOR HOSPITAL.
Miss Havens Said She Had Excellent
Treatment While in Perth Amboy.

The correspondent met DR.. Henry,
of Perth Amboy, Thursday evening at
the home of Mr.. Thomas Havens. He
was calling on his patient, Miss Stella
Havens. The doctor stated that he
had taken whole bone out of Miss
Havens' foot when the foot was oper-
ated on, and that the bone was decay
ed. He also said that the bones on
each side of the decayed bone were
affected and he had scraped them. He
said she was doing nicely, and when
asked what was the cause of the
trouble said it was blood poisoning.
Miss Havens is looking much better
than before she went to the Perth Am
boy hospital and seems in real good
spirits. She uses crutches, and is
allowed to use the foot some to keep
it from becoming stiff. She came
home yesterday and was delighted to
get there, but gives great praise to
her doctor and the hospital nurses and
says it is fine there. She had a pri-
vate room and every comfort and all
the attention possible to be had. All
of the nurses attended to her at times.
but her regular nurse was Miss Fay.
DIR. Tyrrell, DIR. Lund and DR.. Levy
assisted her physician, DR.. Henry, in
the operation. Miss Havens entered
the operating room at o'clock and
left it at twenty minutes after B. She
was under the influence of ether X
hours. DIR. Levy administered the
anesthetic. The bone was so decayed
that it broke into a places, which
Miss Havens has in q small bottle Of
alcohol at her home.
Mrs. Havens is almost on the verge
of nervous prostration. Stella is her
only daughter and her anxiety has
been very great concerning her, but
she has kept up until Thursday, when
she became extremely nervous and had
a very bad spell and is suffering with
her head.
Miss Stella desires through the
Perth Amboy Evening News to public
ly thank her many friends of this
borough who were so good to her and
brought her such lovely flowers, etc.
to the hospital, and her kind and
attentive doctor and nurses and the
doctors who assisted in the operation.
She had visitors every day while in
the hospital. On the Sunday before
she was taken to the hospital her
sufferings were intense, she suffered
agony untold.

NEW YORK. June 2T.--R. G. Dun q

No definitely unfavorabIe element is

tribution of merchandise. the long pc
riod of low temperature has curtniied
trade in dry goods, clothing and other
seasonable lines. Stocks have aecumu-
lated, and prospects for semiannual In
ventories are not altogether encourag-

also sufficient uncertainty to maintain
high prices for grain, while the manip-
ulated position of cotton is menace 70
the industry. Labor controversies still
harass many branches of business, the
building trades of this city and the
textile mills at Philadelphia being COM
pletely demoralized. while minor strug-
giles are in progress elsewhere.
Even in finance there Is some ques-
ton as to the future, although money
is now abundant and comparatively
easy. In two months over $22,000,O00
in gold has been exported, and rates
of exchange do not yield materially

SENATORS FIGHT
OVER STATEHOOD

slider Compromise

Washington Jan. S-When the state
hood bill came up in the senate yes

Der of resolutions adopted at a recent
convention in Oklahoma favoring sin
gle statehood with Indian territory.
Mr.. Quay, who is leading the fight
for the admission Of Oklal 1ma. Aii-
zona and New Mexico, criticised Che
resolutions, saying that the people who
adopted them had not acted intelli-
gently. because the single statehood
bill had been withdrawn He further

of Oldshoma Mr. Nelson. of Mime
sofa. continued but did not conclude
his remarks in opposition to the omni-

There was renewal in the senate OF
the talk of a compromise OF the diff
ferences on the statehood question on
the basis of two states, one to be COM
posed Of Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory, and the other of New Mexico and
Arizona. The leaders on both sides
refused to consider the suggestion, but
other senators appeared to regard it as
a feasible means of bringing to a close
a debate which bids fair TO consume
much Of the time of the session.

themselves" Mr.. Carnegie said he

brary that he will donate SS50,0OO more
for branches under the usual condi-
tions.

Roosevelt had a conference yesterday
with Speaker Henderson and Represen.
tative Grosvenor, Of Ohio, with regard
TO proposed "aAti-trust legislation"
The conference lasted for a long time,
the situation in the house being dis
cussed thoroughly. Il is understood
that the President impressed upon his
callers, who went TO the executive
office at his request, his desire that
some legislation dealing with the trust
e.'estion should be enacted at the pres
ect session of congress
"The trust question IS a most ditn-
cult one to handle in q legislative
way" said General Grosvenor, as he
left the executive Offices, but l think
some measures will be enacted into
law at this session. 1t will be neces-
sary to my mind, TO steer a middle
course between the desires of the radi-
cal antitrust people and those who
profess to see little evil in trusts or
combinations of capital That such a
course will be adopted by congress /
lave no doubt"
IL Is understood that during the con-
ference the question of bringing the
subject of trusts TO the attention Of the
house. in a formal way, at an early
date. was considered, but what con-
c,rsion, If any. was reached is not
kno,,n.
