GIRLS SCALP IS
TORN FROM HEAD
INJURIES MAY NOT PROVE
FATAL
Emma BIauvelt Is Expected to Sur
Vive Terrible Wounds Inflicted
by Revolving Shaft In
Overall Factory

Emma Blauvelt the young woman
who was literally scalped by revolv-
ing shaft in the Brownstein, Newmark
& Louis overall factory yesterday
morning, will probably recover, accord
ing to the opinion of the attending
physician.
Her remarkable will power and a
hardy constitution have led the physi-
clans to hope for her life. Ordinarily,
say the physicians, injuries of this ma
ture prove fatal.
Miss Blauvelt was employed as an
operator of a button machine and the
accident occurred while she was sitting
at her machine. She says that her sup
ply of buttons was exhausted and she
stopped over to get box from the floor,
her head coming near to the revolving
shaft which operated her machine.
Her hair was caught in the shaft and
in an instant she was a prisoner
screaming for help and because of the
intense pain caused by the tearing
away of her scalp.
Before the machinery could be
stopped Miss Blauvelt had fallen by
the shaft and was unconscious when
assistance reached her. She was taken
to the emergency hospital where she is
being attended.
Scalp Detached
DR.. E. M Lazard is attending Miss
Blauvelt. He said
"The young woman has slight
chance for recovery; if she resists the
shock and the loss of blood and lives
for twenty-four hours the chances are
in her favor She was terribly in
jured and if she had not a constitu-
ton of more than ordinary vigor, the
shock and loss of blood must have
killed her before this. And as it is her
recovery is doubtful.
1.-THE scalp was entirely detached
from the skull, with the exception of a
shred perhaps an inch in length, from
the middle of the left ear across the
forehead to above the right ear and
across the back of the neck to the bot
tom of the left ear. And an ugly cash
was torn in the back of the head
Altogether surface of over forty
inches was detached from the head and
over 100 stitches were necessary to re-
place the torn flesh.
"Her head has been shaved and it is
problemetical whether, on account of
the injury to the scalp, the hair will
grow again. If Miss Blauvelt RECEIVERS
she will have livid scar extending
across her forehead.
Shock Is Dangerous
"The injury is more a nervous shock
than anything else. or course she was
weakened by the loss of blood, but the
real harm that has been done is to the
nervous system.
"It is by all means the worst case Of
injury to the scalp have ever seen,
but I believe that unless some impurity
has become lodged in the space beneath
the scalp and blood poison should en-
sue, she will live.
1--WE can tell definitely in the course
of the next twenty-four hours whether
she will live"
Miss Blauvelt and her sister, Kate,
have been employed at the factory for
three years. They live with their
mother at 1884 South Olive street.

DUSKY SOLDIER LOSES
HEART TO ISLAND GIRL
STORY OF "FAGIN" REToLD IN
DIVORCE COURT
Ella L. Rush Tells Judge Trask OF
Infatuation of Soldier Husband for
Philippine Girl and Is Granted
Decree

The story of "Fagin," the negro SOL
dier who wandered away to the Philip
pines with the United States soldiers
and forgot home, country and wife for
the love of a wild maiden of the jungle,
was repeated yesterday in the story
Trask in department of the superior
court, in asking for a divorce from
Walter Rush.
Rush, according to the story told by
the negress, was Georgia plantation
"nigger," and one of the finest speci-
mems of his race in the state.
With all the sentiment of his southern
training he made love to his Dixie
woman and married her on the day he
enlisted in the army.
Rush had felt the calls of patriotism,
and three hours after marrying the
girl on August Z, 1901, he became a SOL
dier and left for the Philippines.
The wild, dark beauties of the jungle
proved too alluring for the Georgia
man and he became infatuated with a
Philippine girl, and his courtship was
cut short only when his regiment was
ordered back.
His company was sent to Montana for
guard duty, and since that time Mrs.
Rush has received only a limited num-
ber of letters. In each of these the
wayward soldier would promise to send
money by the next letter, but the money
never came and the woman asked for
a divorce.
The decree was allowed.

Rabbi Hecht Favored

The present members of the board
were elected on the non-partisan ticket,
and while they have made no definite
statement of their choice to succeed Mr..
Slauson it is known that majority of
the members favor Rabbi Hecht of the
B'nai Birth synagogue. DR.. Hecht has
been closely identified with educational
work for number of years. He was a
member of the board Of library direc-
tors until he was removed by the
mayor.
Perry Widener, who is in good stand
ing with the Republican organization,
is also mentioned as candidate for the
place, but it is believed that e. e.
Selph is the choice of the council. Mr..
Selph was a candidate for the position
on the Republican ticket at the last
general election, but was defeated by
the non-partisan candidate.

LOCK HORNS OVER
SCHOOL DIRECTOR
BOARD OF EDUCATION AND
COUNCIL CLASH
Each Claims Right to Name Successor
to J. S. SIauson and City Char
ter UphoIds Both
Sides

There is a prospect of the city coun-
Gil and the board of education locking
horns over the appointment of a sue
cessor to ]. S. Slauson, as both bodies
claim the privilege, and through an
error in the city charter both bodies
have the privilege.
Following are the conflicting clauses
i'll the charter:
Section 1877, as amended February Z,
1905: "In the event of vacancy in the
city council a special election for the
purpose of filling the same shall be or
dered and held without delay. In the
event Of a vacancy in any other elective
office the council shall fill such vacancy
for the unexpired term"
Section 70, adopted January, 1889:
1.-THE board of education shall elect ore
Of its members president and shall hold
regular meetings once a month and
special meetings at such times as shall
be determined by rule Of said board.
A majority of all the members shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business but a smaller number may
may determine the rules of its proceed
ings. Its sessions shall be public ana
its records shall be open to public in
spection. The board shall fill all
vacancies occurring in that body until
the next general municipal election"
On the last sentence in the clause
the board bases it's right to name the
successor to ]. S. Slauson, and City At
torney Mathews is not prepared to tell
the members that they are not right.
The amendment adopted at the last
general election, giving the city coun-
Gil the right to name any elective Of
ficer, aside from a member of the coun-
ell, does not amend section 10 of the
original charter, say attorneys. The
amendment applies exclusively to Sec
ton 1877. The board of education holds
that section 70 is provisional clause,
and a general clause like that of 1877
does not cover it. In this the board Is
again upheld by the charter.
This Is but one of the numerous cases
of conflict in the city charter. 1t has
been pumped so full of holes that the
city attorney stated it is the intention
to submit an entirely new charter to
the voters at the next general election,
and these particular conflicting clauses
