sCHOLER'S VIEW OF IT
Coroner Says Woman Could Not Havs
 Been Struck by Train.

New York, Nov 3.-COroner Scholer, following an autopsy on the body of lIrs Margaretta Todd, who was found dead on the railroad tracks near Phila- delphia week ago, said to-day that the, woman could not possibly have been struck by train. He said she could easily have been killed by some heavy weight falling on her while she was inert. The autopsy showed that ten ribs had been fractured together with the breast bone. Her clothes, the coroner said, were not disarranged or torn. On theycontrary they were in Q neat snd clean condition. Had train struck her, the coroner said, her cloth ing must have been torn and disar. ranged.

tRUhOR WAS FALSE.
Hrs. William Henderson Was Not the
 Victim of Drugs.

Last evening it was reported that Mrs William Henderson of 475 East Main street had taken poison in an eff fort to end her life. Upon investiga- ton today the story proved 10 be false. It appears that the woman was not feeling very well so she took a dose of medicine which did not agree with her and she became very i'll. When her husband came home he wished to call doctor, but she said she did not care for one. He insisted Later one of the neighbors went out and told an officer that a woman up stairs had taken poison. Thus re port was circulated and stories went around far from the truth. To-day the woman Is in her usual health and no signs of her taking any drug are in evidence

APPEAL TO PEOPLE.

St Petersburg, Nov 3.-All the regd- lations heretofore issued to the news papers by circular for their governance have been withdrawn. and the chief of the press administration has been pro- hibited from further issuing such reg Elations.
 Another appeal to the people in the shape of an official note was published this morning It says:
 After the manifesto of October 30 had laid an 1inshakable foundation for the development of Russian life on the basis of legality and justice, participa- ton in street demonstrations had a significance altogether different from that attaching thereto previously. It can only encourage disorder and the presence of pupils of the middle and lower educational establishments among the demonstrants is much to be condemned If only on moral grounds. Unless the attention of so- ciety be now directed to this fact the state Is threatened with dangerous in- crease in the number of people whose respect for authority and order is being radically shaken while they are otlil HI elG nNuUOl IOOiu. De HONPIH- ment therefore calls on all citizens to exercise self-control and to devote themselves quietly to their avoca- tionss.'
 St Petersburg, Nov 3.-The national holiday to-day in celebration of the emperor's ascension to the throne, was marked by the formal raising of the strike in St Petersburg. The railroad strike has not yet been declared off, although most of the workmen are re- turning to their employment

 Narson, Nov 3-A remarkable fea- ture of the demonstration here is the fraternlzing of the people with the soldiers. The latter were carried about on the shoulders of the crowd and were treated to champagne and cigarettes.

DIR. William r. Harper, president Of
University of Chicago, who is at the
Hotel Manhattan, thus described his
remarkable recovery from wnat was
declared to have been fatal internal
cancer. For two hours to-day he went
through an examination by specialists.
He then walked from Twenty-eighth
to Forty second streets and smilirfgly
asked if he looked like an invalid
Asked to describe his condition, he
said:
My general health is fine. 1 weighed

performed by Dr. McBurney. My
weight now is now 1S2. / am back at
work and put in as many hours as
did before my illness. / take the X-ray
and radium treatment right along and

factory
Before a gathering of physicians and
medical students in the operating room
of Flower Hospital to-day Or. w.
Harvey King performed two operations
for cancer by inserting celluloid pencils
coated with a solution of radiura The
method employed is the latest develop
ment of the application of radiun as
destroyer Of cancerous cells and differs
from the use of radium in tubes. BY
utilizing a recent discovery by a chem
ist, a coating placed upon a pencil Of
celluloid is inserted in the affected area
and the peculiar property of radtum,
of destroying disease germs without
breaking down the living tissues, is
demonstrated.
DIR. King mentioned two cases
which had come under his observation
in which the use of radium pencils
had been successful. One was that OF
a man who was treated for cancer of
the tongue and the other patient had
cancer of the foot. DIR. King said that
in both cases the growth had disap-
peared.
He said he would show case that
had been treated in the Flower Hos
pital and in which rapid improvement
had resulted. The patient was a
woman who had a malignant growth
back of the right ear. DR.. King said
that more than half of the growth
had dropped off since the treatment
was begun and that a complete cure
was looked for.
The present case before him was
that of an elderly man whose lower
law was affected with cancer. The
chin and the f1eshy part of the throat
were affected. The man was placed
on an operating table and after anes-
thetics were applied locally penci,.
of $4,000 radio activity was inserted
beneath the. skin on the right side of
the chin and a callone Of 10000 radio
activity on the left side. The treat
ment was the first that the patient
had received with radium. He will
remain In the Flower Hospital and
the results viii be closely watched.
