point out the reforms which he be-

may be mentioned the postal tele

SPIRITED DEBATE.
Members of Vaughn Glass Discuss the
Fifteenth Amendment

public debate by members OF the
Vauhgn class of Calvary Baptist Church
last night was largely attended and much
enjoyed After the debate had been con-
cluded refreshments were served in the
basement of the Sunday school building of
the church. Altogether the evening was
regarded as one of the most pleasant and
successful the class has had in many weeks.
The subject debated was. Resolved That
the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution
and that part of the fourteenth amendment
granting general suffrage should be re-
pealed."
On the affirmative side of the question
were three young orators from the south
I. c. Foster of Virginia. A 8. Flowers of
South Carolina and ]. p. Wooten of Arkah-
sas. The negative side was represented by
three northern men-W. 8. Caldwell of New
York. l.. s. Tenny Of New York and w. c.
Franklin of Kentucky. The debate
greatly interested the class that while the
judges were in secret session trying to
agree upon a decision the debate became
general and spirited.
The judges were DIR. George Horton. w.
w. Price and J. Martin Miller. and the con-
clusion they reached was that the negative
side had won the contest. but that the best
speech had been made by Mr.. Foster. This
decision was pleasing all around. inasmuch
as 1t gave the verdict to the northern men.
but decided that the best speech was made
by Virginian.

BOY SURVIVES BROKEN NECK.
Remarkable Case Just Out of New
York HOSPITAL.

The New York Times of today says:
One of the most remarkable cases in the
history of the ]. Hood Wright Memorial
Hospital is that of seventeen-year-o
James Dunn. who walked out of the insti-
tuition yesterday afternoon practically
cured Of a broken neck. To all appear
ances he was hale and hearty, although
he has suffered untold agonies for months
past.
The boy was taken to the hospital In an
ambulance on August 2. 1908. and at that
time 1t was not expected that he would
live more than a few minutes. He had
been swimming at the baths at the foot of
155th street and the Hudson river. The
tide was low at the time, and. without
taking into consideration the depth of the
water, the boy leaped head first from a
springboard.
He struck head first on the sandy bot
tom in only three feet OF water. His body
rose to the surface and several bathers
noticed that he appeared to be uncon-
scious. Dragging him out they laid him on
a float. All efforts to revive HON proved
futile and hurry call was sent to j.
Hood Wright Hospital.
When the ambulance surgeon arrived
he discovered that several Of the cervical
vertebrae were fractured and expressed
the opinion that he had one chance in
the hospital the boy was at once placed on
the operating table. and Drs Hotchkiss
and lie Boutellier began the task OF re-
setting the vertebrate, which they found
badly splintered. They succeeded. how
ever, and the patient was then placed In
q plaster OF paris cast, laid on a board. and
heavy hanging weights placed either side
OF his head. to prevent any muscular ac-
ton.
On the following day the boy recovered
consciousness, and was informed that ii
he desired to live he must not move his
body in the slightest for one twist would
unset the vertebrae and death would fol-

lowed instructions implicitly. Improve
ment was noticeable from day to day. and
several weeks ago the cast was removed
1t was not until that time that the sue
cess of the operation was really known
Examination showed that the vertebrate
had knit together perfectly. Since then

most wonderful cases they had ever had
and that numerous physicians were inter-
