DAILY
FOR TWENTY YEARS
Woman Who Followed Career of Sub.
jectIng Herself to Anatomical
ExperInne nts Dies at 62


Special Cable to The Herald.
VIENNA, Sept. 20.--Frau Magdalen
Gelly, who for twenty years had been
known among the medical faculty as
the "Vivisection Rabbit" died here yes
terday at the age of 62.
Frau Gelly exercised the curious call
ing of a subject for anatomical ex-
periments, and her services were in
great demand by the most eminent sur
geons.
She owed her remarkable reputation
as a subject for experiments to an alb
normal formation and development of
her respiratory organs.
Over these she had marvellous COM
mand, controlling them at will, and
allowing them to be freely operated
Under the operation she described ts
the assembled surgeons and students
the sensations she experienced in her
throat, nose, palate, tonsils and other
organs under the action of the sur
geon's knife.
Frau Gelly reported herself daily at
the clinical laboratory and at the
private houses of the most celebrated
doctors of Vienna, usually carrying a
black reticule containing all sorts of
objects, such as needles, marbles, pins,
pencils, ETC., intended to be swallowed
or passed through her nostrils or ears
for experiments.
AS the "Vivisection Rabbit" was paid
for each sitting, and averaged two
daily for twenty years, she has left a
small fortune, and, having died intes-
tate, the money will probably be ap-
propriated by the medical faculty of
the university.

WHY TROUBLE YOUR BRAIN?

Londoner InVents Method Which Will

Special Gable to The Herald,

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, Sept. 2O-Londoners will
soon have no need for brains if the So
ciety for the proper organization of
knowledge PROJECTED by Marshall Will
Jams Is successfully launched on it's
career. Williams has stumbled upon
the interesting discovery that the
knowledge of the world is vast, but too
deep for the unaided mind of man to
grapple with.
So he has invented little system of
universal information bureaus, infal-
lible, of course, which will classify, CO.
ordinate and assort, and with startling
results save an infinite amount of wear
and tear to the poor old fashioned
brain.
The past, present and future are to
be assimilated by this thinking mech
anism which is warranted to turn out
logical, well grounded views on any
subject under the sun.
The explanation of how this is to be
done is not given in detail, but what
is given is of such complex nature
that the ordinary brain refuses to
grapple with 1t.

REGIMENTAL BAND DECLINES
TO PARADE
Musicians of Second Regiment, Ma
tlonaI Guard of California, Prefer
Their Union to Their
Army Obligation
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 20-The band
of the Second regiment, National Guard
of California, is a thing of the past, ow-
ing to the fact that 1t refused to parade
on Memorial day in this city because
the ladies of the G.. A. r. had engaged
a non-union drum corps. 1t is held by
the authorities that the refusal to obey
orders warrants dismissal, and Cover
nor Pardee, as commander in chief, at
the recommendation Of Adjutant Cen
eral J. B. Lauck and Inspector Cen
eral Wilhelm, will order that the band
be mustered out.
In his recommendation to the COVER
nor General Lauck makes the following
statement: 1.-THE organization in ques-
ton refused to parade on Memorial
day, May 80, 1905, after having been
ordered to do so and it is questionable
If the organization could be depended
upon to parade at any time under SINH
lar circumstances to those existing as
mentioned, this being the second offense
of this kind committed by this organi-
zation.
when the members of an organiza-
ton of the National guard so far forget
their duty as to refuse to parade be-
cause of their connection with a labor
union on a day sacred to the memory
of those brave men who in the Mexican
war, the civil war or the war with Spain
gave their lives to their country, it Is
time that measures be taken to rid the
service of such an organization and
therefore recommend that the organ
ization be mustered out of the service
"This recommendation is not made
for the reason that the organization
mustered out is connected with a labor
union, but because the members there
of wilfully disobeyed the orders Of su-
perior authorities"

Y|DD|SH PLAYERS
MAKE GREAT HIT
ATTRACTION AT BURBANK is
DELIGHTFUL
"koI NIdrey" as Opening Presentation
Is Greeted With Good Audience
and FuIflils All Ex-
pectations

"Kol Nidrey" as presented by Click
mans Yiddish players at the Burbank
theater yesterday afternoon was one of
the most delightful performances of its
kind ever given in Southern California.
Numerous curtain calls greeted the
clever work of the leading members of
the organization and the applause given
Barnard Schoengold and Clara Raffalo
at the end of their duet in act three
must have done their hearts good.
German drama with music, with heavy
dramatic incident set in a framework
of excellent comedy.
The plot has to do with the love of
Elvira, daughter of the head inquisitor,
for Bartello, the kings singer.
Bartello is Jew to the hearts core.
Paulis, Elvira's father, had been a
Jew, but was converted and was at that
time bitter against the Jewish people
Elvira's mother lived Jewess all hel
days and died in that belief. so 1t was
perfectly natural that her daughter
Elvira, who had inherited a great deal
of her mothers beauty and sunniness
OF disposition, should inherit that love
the mother bore for her people.
Paulis determines to part the lovers
at all costs. How he succeeds by sacri-
flcing his daughter to the burning stake
Is set forth with pathetic beauty.
Glickman as Paulis proved himself
an actor of rare talent. Beautiful Clara
Raffalo as Elvira sang sweetly and
made the trying role one of the features
of the production. Schoengold will
prove sizzling matinee favorite lest
he is not very careful. tits of just such
material as his voice, general carriage
and handsome face that matinee idols
are made. His Bartello both in song
and in verse was gloriously rendered.
Other members Of the company ap-
peared in lesser roles and the scenery
was entirely satisfactory.

DETECTIVES MAKE ARRESTS

Through the vigilance of Manager
Heimer of the Rapid Transit Messenger

rested Tuesday on suspicion of being
implicated in numerous recent thefts
by telephone orders.
Heimer followed Gero to S15 South

proprietor to send Is cents worth of
witch hazel and change for So to an
address given. When the lad arrived
with the package Gero told him to go
out and call number on the telephone
while he went upstairs. He was given
$1.S5 by the boy and was about to
leave when Heimer arrested him.
Detectives Mcnamara and Jones were
detailed to investigate the case. They
questioned the lad and he referred them
to a girl giving her name as Irene at
the address where he had been arrested.
Going to the house, Detective McNa-

but found no girl there. Instead he
found Schneider and Reid in the room,
and after questioning the lads arrested
them.
"These lads are known as hop heads
as they use cocaine snuff" said McNa-
mara yesterday. "They are driven to
these tricks through long hours and
bad associations. Countless games
have been worked by them to secure
money in this way from nearly every
drug store and dry goods store in the
city.
with their arrest we believe that
this game of securing money as they
did will stop. Nearly every messenger
boy with whom we have come in con-
tact uses some kind of dope 1t is
because others have used 1t and they
become tired and want relief"

Charles Buskirk, a fireman of the
first class, in charge of the Benning-

having heard the safety valves Of boiler
c blow off, replied that he had, on the
way from Honolulu to San Diego. AT
the time of the disastrous explosion he
was on the starboard side of the berth
blow off. He had never heard BIS
safety valve blow off. He said the sem
tinel valves failed to lift. He never
saw hand gear used on this deck, 1t not
being connected for use and an attempt
to raise 1t below being useless. There
was no routine ordering the valves to
be removed each week. He never saw
any inspection by Commander Young.
Judge Gear ss-examined the wit
ness and asked that the testimony re-
out. He was sustained by the court
and the testimony was stricken out re-
garding the lifting gear. The witness
was excused until Thursday. An ex-
tract from the Bennington's log, intro
duced by Judge Gear, was objected to
as not bearing on the charges, and the
objection was sustained.
Lieut.. John Leonard, attached to the
Lawton, was the next witness. He
testified that he had been executive Of
flcer of the Bennington while Com
mander Young was in command of her.
Hull Books Ruled Out
The hull books were accessible at any
time. He identified his signature to an
entry therein and Judge Gear objected
to the evidence as the books already
had been ruled out. The objection was
sustained and the witness was excused
J. S. Fitzgerald, ordinary seaman,
attached to the Bennington since 1903,
was the next witness. He was Com
mander Yonug's orderly for one month
and carried during that time the steam
logs to the commander every day. The
| Judge advocate asked if Commander
Young examined the same. This was
objected to by Judge Gear. The objec-
ton was sustained and the witness dis
missed.
At this juncture Judge Gear objected
to the presence of two diagrams of the
| Bennington as not having been intro
| duced in evidence. The diagrams were
ordered turned With their faces to the
wall.
J. J. Norther. a coal passer of the
Bennington, testified that he was on
the watch on the morning of July 21,
the day Of the explosion. At the time
fire was started in the middle furnace,
he said, boiler "B" was leaking. He
was on his way for water tender
when the explosion occurred.
Judge Advocate West. who was re-
called as a witness, produced four blue
prints, drawings of safety valves, SEN
tinel valves, lifting gear for sentinel
valves, boilers and arrangements of
boiler mountings and dry pipes of the
Bennington. No order having been
| issued by the bureau of the secretary
these blue prints, Commander Young's
attorney made a strong objection to
these drawings being used as evidence,
but the objection was overruled.
