SURGEONS HANDS
LOST TO X.RAY
DR.. Weigel Obliged to Submit to
Double Amputation for y. :.
Cancer. ~ ..,..~

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 19.-Dr. Louis
A. Weigel underwent. an operation at
the city hospital last week for
the removal of his right hand and the
greater part Of his left hand. When
the x-rays were discovered, he took up
their study with enthusiasm, and had
achieved wonderful success in the use
Of them in his practice. Physicians
who, are familiar with what Dr. Weigel
has accomplished in the use of the
x-rays say that he was without doubt
the ablest physician and surgeon in the
use of the x-rays in the world.
He was wonderfully successful in
taking photographs by the use of the
rays. His fame in this work has
spread all over the world in medical
circles. Recognition Of his skill and
success was just beginning to come to
him when the trouble developed with
his hands. = 's
The disease developed in DR.. Weigel 8
hands, both hands being affected about
a year ago. Three months ago the lit
tie finger of the right hand was taken
off and sent to Professor WEIGH of
Johns Hopkins University for examina-
ton and report as to the nature of the
disease. In due time Professor Welch
reported that the disease was cancer.
When this report was received it was
evident to the medical friends Of DR..
Weigel that amputation would be neces-
sary to save DR.. Weigel's life. >

Washington, Oct. 19.A general or.
in the last few days, announces that,
Lieutenant Thomas W. Gum, retired,
has been sentenced to forfeit $40 per
month of his pay for one year, upon
conviction by court martial of dupi
eating his pay accounts.
Lieutenant Gum was born in Mime
apolis June l, 1864. He enlisted in the
Eighteenth infantry in July, 1884, and
rose successfully to the non-commis-
stoned ranks Of corporal, sergeant and
first sergeant in Companies /, ii and
F of that regiment. He was ambitious
and took the examination for commits
stoned rank and was appointed first
lieutenant in the Twentieth infantry
Feb. 2, 1901, after having served as
an enlisted man and officer in the Thir-
ty-seventh volunteer infantry in the
Spanish American war. While in the
volunteer army Lieutenant Gum served
in the Philippines, where he became
disabled in the line of duty, which
caused his retirement June 80, 1908.
The offense for which Lieutenant
Gum was convicted consisted OF the g
assignment of his pay for the month of
Stein at Chicago The court-martial by
which Gum was tried sentenced him to
dismissal, with a unanimous recon-
mendation for clemency, however, upon
which the president acted, committing
the sentence to the forfeiture Of pay
stated above.

Washington, Oct. 19.Ten days ago
representatives of the two republican
factions in Delaware called at the.
w White House to tell the president that !
certainly be east for the republican
candidates. Delaware had been very
generally regarded by republicans, the
president among the rest, as likely, to
be for Parker. Asked what had
wrought this change, the visitors sa ai
draw their opposing state tickets and
agree on a single ticket.
What was promised in these White
House interviews has come to pass.
The regular republicans and the union
or Addicks republicans have compr99 2.
is said to be such a qualification of the
republican forces as to insure the
states going republican straight down
the ticket. The regulars are to have
the governor and some of the minor
offices, while the unions are to have
position in the state, and the rest of
the offices, including the member Of
congress. They already have one Of
the United States senators, and it is
whispered that they are to get the
other one when the term Of Senator
bdlI, Ol Guc regular IetCG1Ou, CAplI %.
This compromise probably means that
the regular republicans Of Delaware
have surrendered to the Addicks crowd.
1t is significant that the national ad-
ministration, the national committee,
and the congressional, committee have
from the beginning been inclined to
side with Addicks. A prominent mem
Der of the republican national commit
tee said today:
The Addicks faction in Delaware is the
one which does things. The unionists oc-
| cupy a very high moral position. In the
main they are actuated by right motives
and their methods are clean. But they
are impotent They can't accomplish re-
suits. BY taking an extreme position they
| have alienated practically all Of the work
| ing forces within the party. We dons
mean when we say that we stand by the
| Addicks crowd that we indorse the meth
| DDS which Addicks has employed. Far
! from it. We think that his rule in the
| state has made for discord and in certain
| ways for corruption. But when we want
anything accomplished in the state, he is
| the only man we can go to.

Of the footpad and the .housebreaker,

gang of burglars in the coun-
Of the combination. A tall, good look

shrewd appearing, active woman, sup
posed to be the outrunners Of the gang,
have been seen providing around the
village.
A burglary was committed Friday
night at a residence on the road leading
to President Roosevelt 8 home on Sag
more hill. From footsteps seen on the
driveway it is believed that woman
entered the window and that man &C
complete stood on guard. All the solver
ware was tested and the solid pieces
ruined from testing.
About $1,000 worth Of solid silver
ware was taken away.
The residence of Morgan Griffin,
cashier of the Oyster Bay bank, was
also .burglarizedF Friday night and silver
ware worth: 800 taken. III ! q 1

RAILROAD WAR t..
ON STEEL TRUST
Refuse to Buy Rails at Present
Prices, While the Makers
Threaten Retaliation.
New York Sun Sneoial Service.

New York Sun Special Service. - -. =
New York, Oct. ia great deal is
being said on the street and in unoffi-
cial quarters about the probable reduc-
ton in the price of steel rails in order
to bring that commodity somewhere
near a parity with other steel products.
The United States Steel corporation, it
is stated definitely and positively, has
not given the matter any consideration
there are no signs that it will consider
any proposition looking toward re-
ductlon in price. -!
The pool held out all thru the bust
ness depression against any reduction,
altho the railroads refused to make
purchases even when they really needed
rails. They insisted they would not
The result is the steel rail business has
fallen to very low ebb. =.
Steel rail makers maintain that the
railroads are. unjust in demanding a
reduction at this time for the reason
that during the steel boom the pool
established price basis which the rail
roads assented to as reasonable. The
steel products advanced. It is asserted
that had it not been for the pool s
stand, the rails would hayet sold as high
as $40 a ton. !. At one time during the
boom railroads are said to have sold
their old rails, as scrap steel at over
$50 ton and to have replaced the same
with new steel rails at $28 ton.
Steel rail people are said to harbor
considerable resentment against the
railroads for their stand in the matter,
and are reported to declare that if a
cut in prices is made to meet the de-
mands Of the railroads, they will not
again attempt to hold prices down in
times when demand is greatly in
creased as it was in 1901 and 1902, and
that while the roads may be the gamers
temporarily, they are likely in the end
to pay dearly for their temporary ad-
vantage.
