STAY rs GRANTED.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Ordered
Greason Case Back for Retrial.

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 10. - The
Pennsylvania supreme court having decided
ed yesterday to send the case of Samuel
in Reading for the murder Of John Ed
wards in 1901, back to the Berks county
court, the board of pardons today granted
a continuance in his case, and also in that
of Mrs. Kate Edwards, white. who is also
condemned to death for the same crime.
At the February session of the pardon
board the condemned couple were reprieved
until ten days after the present meeting Of
the board so that the attorneys could again
take the case of Greason before the su-
preme court. The decision of the board to-
day acts as a stay, pending the disposal Of
the case by the Berks county court.
Greason and Mrs. Edwards had been SEN
on February 10 attorneys for Greason ap-
peared before the board of pardons and
submitted evidence to the effect that Mrs.
Edwards had confessed that Greason was
innocent of the crime of killing her hus-
band. The board thereupon reprieved Grea-
son, so that his case could be further in
vestigated, and reprieved Mrs. Edwards in
order that she might be used a witness
in GreaSon'S behalf.
Nothing has been done looking toward a
new trial for the condemned woman, and
after the Greason case is disposed of by
the Berks county court her application for
communication of sentence will be acted
upon by the board of pardons.
That tribunal has twice refused to COM
mute her sentence. Both Greason and Mrs.
Edwards have listened to the reading Of the
death warrant ten times. and both have
been under the eyes of the death watch
for two years.

OPERATION MANIA.
West End of London Has Another Bad
Attack

Special Cablegram to The Evening Star
LONDON, March 15.-The west end of
London is suffering from another attack OF
operation mania"
Every malady OF well-known person is
followed by a recrudescence of this mania,
which is a serious nuisance to busy sur
geons. During the last two weeks one we'll
known operating surgeon has had thirty
seven cases of purely imaginary appen-
dicitis which have had to be treated per-
fectly seriously The doctor, as rule. ad-
vises his patient to go into private nurs-
ing home for a week, in order to prepare
for the operation; there he visits her-the
patient is usually a woman and almost in
variably an idle one-eyery day. and at the
end of the week gravely assures her that
the evil has been dispersed.
On more than one occasion, however, the
patient has insisted that this is not so. and
that an operation must be performed. On
one occasion an imaginary sufferer from
appendicitis had to be put under an anes-
thetic for few moments, wrapped up IN
bandadges and treated for several days as
if an operation had really been performed,
before she consented to recover"
Nerves can be trusted to supply mag
mary pain.
The question of the doctors fee is, as
may easily be imagined, somewhat deli
cate one under such circumstances. If the
full fee is not charged the patient becomes
suspicious; if it IS, complicated questions
may arise later One surgeon charged and
kept his fee of 100 guineas, and majority
of those who know sufferers from opera
ton mania will agree that he earned it.

IN AN ANTIQUARY SHOP.
Peculiar Old Clock Containing Jewels
Found in a Vienna Place.

Special Cablegram to The Evening Star.
VIENNA, March 15.-Passing recently
through the Hungarian town of Flume on
the Adriatc a gentlemen from Budapest
noticed in an antiquary shop an old silver
clock in the form of an apple, which he
bought for a few shillings. His astonisiI-
ment was great when cleaning 1t he
found the following inscription in Italian
Il, Nicolo Geranddich, master of the
merchant vessels of the firm of Siverich
brothers. leave all my treasure hidden in
side this clock to my cousin Antonio Geran-
dich. living at Laibach (Carniola), so that
my unworthy son may never hnd It, Flume
January >, 1884.
Hidden among the mechanism of the
clock the fortunate buyer found large
number of precious stones Of great size.
including seven large brlliants, six emer-
aids and three sapphires, the whole worth
about $50, 900. .--
After depositng the gems with the au
thorities at Lafbach the owner of the clock
made inquiries which showed that Antonio
Gerandich was dead, and had left no
descendants. The Laibach officials, how
ever, declined to hand over the precious
stones. on the ground that they have re-
verted to the Austrian government.
AS the deceased. however, was Hungari-
an subject and the treasure was found at
Fiume, the Hungarian government has be-
gun an action against the Austrian admin
istration for the recovery of the gems.

no right to vote in joint convention under

Lobbyists were excluded today from the

Victor Persons, engineer In charge, and
stated thatg the Sender stated for Bismya
from Bagdad on March 8.
lie excavation was begun in December,
1903. and continued until several months
ago, when 1t was abandoned by order of
the Turkish government. The permission to
resume work is the result of DR.. Harper
recent trip to Constantinople.
Bismya, which lhas been identified as the
Adab of ancient inscriptions, is one of the
most ancient Of Babylonian cities and
fiourished possibly as early as 1000 or SOD
r G. No history; of the place ever has been

STANFORD POISONING MYSTERY.
Probable Action Upon Arrival of De-
tectives at San Francisco.

HONOLULU, March IA. 1910 p.m.-It
was learned tonight that some action will
probably be taken at San Francisco after
the arrival of the detectives detailed to in
yestigate the recent death of Mrs. Stan
ford in this city.
CAPTAIN Callundan when asked tonight ii
this action would be along criminal lines,
replied that all the work of the detectives
was along criminal lines.
Both the detectives now here when inter-
viewed tonight stated that they had posi-
tive instructions not to talk about the case.
This caution was probably received from
San Francisco today, a statement from
the detectives having been promised for
today.
Both refuse to discuss Prof. Jordan S
opinion that Mrs. Stanford's death was not
due to strychnine poisoning. 1t is now be-
Heyed that if the death had been natural
this conclusion would have been announced
in due course by the detectives and their
attitude and replies to questions indicate
strongly possibilities that a murder charge
will be made against some one.
The detectives today cabled a long mes
sage to San Francisco

SENATOR BACON MUCH BETTER.
Suddenly Stricken While Speaking in
the Senate.

Senator Bacon was stricken i'll while dis
cussing the Santo Domingo treaty IN ex-
ecutive session of the Senate yesterday
afternoon shortly after O'Clock. He was
in a much improved condition at noon to-
day He rested easily last night at his
home, 1857 Oregon avenue, to which he was
taken last evening. The attending physi-
clan of Senator Bacon stated this morning
that he expected unfavorable result
from this sudden attack of illness, but that
the Senator. as a matter of precaution.
should not give his attention to public mat
ters. and in fact should not leave his bed
for five or six days. The Senator demurred
at this long period of enforced rest but it
is not likely that :he will leave his home,
at least during the present week:

Bacon opened his argument. He had no
sooner begun his address in criticism OF the
Santo Domingo treaty than his friends on
the floor noticed that he was not in his
usual good condition. He appeared to WAIVER
somewhat, and when he attempted to speak
he was not able to articulate.
The senator showed evident embarraSs-
ment but appeared determined to have
control over himself and again attempted
to speak but without success. 1t was then

be serious outcome of this breakdown.
Senator Gallinger, who had attended the
meeting of the Senate faithfully during the
entire day, at that moment in his COM
mittee room. He was sent for and prompt
ly responded. Senator Gallinger was ply
sGan for many years before he entered the
Senate. He examined the patient. and at
once saw that he should be removed to his
home. He also prescribed restoratlVeS
which were administered at once.
Senator Clay and Senator Spooner were
among the first to rush to Senator Bacon
side They watched him anXiously until he
was given restoratives and his condtlon
was improved
Senator Bacon was taken to his home and
his physicians called His case is regarded
as that of a nervous breakdown. which Will
require rest but no serious result is feared
Dr. James Dudley Morgan is attending
him, and last evening ordered a trained
nurse to take care of his patient.
Senator Bacon has worked diligently dur
ing the present debate on the Santo Do
mingo treaty in preparing his remarks on
that subject. The work of the session had
told on his strength. and, although man
of powerful physique, he overdid himself by
hard and continuous work.
