Physicians Revive Husband
They Pronounced Dead
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTOR, Colo, Feb. 23.-WaIter
Cecil Whitford, 81 years old, who died
at the Victor Hospital of pneumonia
on Tuesday morning last was re-
Vlved after he had been pronounced
dead. Heroic measures were taken TO
restore Whitford to consciousness in
order that he could have private

million that her husbands life could
be renewed and that if life was re-
stored to his body he would not be
conscious. She persisted that some
thing must be done and as a last re-
sort the doctors decided to bleed the
man from his arms. After this was
done he was wrapped in a hot banket
and for several hours was rubbed Wig

cutiOns on This Coast

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-As the re-
suit Of conferences held at the White
House to-day with President Roosevelt
further developments in the land fraud
cases in Oregon and California may be
expected at no distant day. Since the
FIRST steps were taken looking to the
prosecution of the alleged offenders the
President has shown a keen interest in
the investigations which have been
made and in the indictments which
followed. With the view of acquaint-
ing himself with the situation as it
exists UP to the present time the Presi-
dent to-day was in close conference
with Secretary Hitchcock, Attorney
General Moody and Special Attorney F.
j. Heney, who discussed with him the
evidence so far gathered.
Later he held a second conference, at
which were present Hitchcock, Heney
and Secret Service Inspector William
d. Burns, who was active in bringing
about q number of the arrests At this
latter meeting. il is understood, a plan
Of action was mapped out and the

BODY OF sERGIUs BLESSED.
Bells of Moscow Toll During the
Solemn CEREMONY.

MOSCOW, Feb. 23.-The solemn
ceremony of blessing the remains of
Grand Duke Sergius was performed at
1G o'clock this morning in the midst
OF the tolling of bells of all of the
churches and monaSteries of the an
cient capital.
After the blessing of the body. it
was conveyed to the. adjoining Church
of st. Andrew, where it was laid on a
catafalQue. The coffin was concealed
by mass of floral wreaths and
crosses.
The scene within the church was
pathetic. The coffin was covered by
a cloth of silver, trimmed with ermine.
The mangled body lay in state dressed
in full uniform, but veil of fine lace
was disposed over the remains of the
mutilated face. A gloved hand held
an ikon of ST. Nicholas.
The Grand Dukes widow, the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth took her place at
the foot of the coffin, in front of
group of other members of the i'm

One thing is apparent: Whatever
the outcome of the war, the integrity
of China is menaced. Japan, having
twice captured Port Arthur, viii not
be disposed to surrender that strong
hold for the second time, and the fact
that she named as one of the terms
OF peace the cession of all the Liao-
tung Peninsula indicates that she in
tends to hold at least part Of the cap
tured territory. That which Secretary
Hay sought to prevent Russia accom-
plishing-the practical annexation of
the whole or part of Manchuria-may
he achieved by Japan. In the role of
conqueror the Mikado's Government
threatens to carry out the programme
which, with Russia as the aSSreSSOr,
raised such a storm of protest on the
part of the neutral nations.
Just how Great Britain, Germany
and France would regard peace set

is likely that Germany and France

positive information from the very
highest officials in st. Petersburg that
the war will be prosecuted with in
creased vigor. 1t is expected that Cen
eral Kuropatkin, with the opening of
the spring campaign. will accomplish
much in view of the reinforcements he
has received. The Emperor has every
confidence in his military ability.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. %.
If such thing were possible to man,
it would be a work of great kindness
and pleasure for some one to call old
Ben Jonson's shade back to life and
escort him down to Stanford to witness
a revival of his own favorite comedy
Every Man in His Humor," acted by
a company of twentieth century col
lege men and maids on sixteenth cen
tury stage. He would appreciate the
copy of the old stage of the Swan
Theater, for the Stanford players,
dressed in every detail like Will
Shakespeare, Richard Burbage. Theo-
dore Pope and other noted actors who
took part in the first presentation of
the comedy, have built an exact coun-
terpart of the old London theater's
boards.
AS on the opening night of the great
comedy, nearly three centuries ago,
when Queen Elizabeth, Sir Walter Ra-
leigh and a score of handsome court
ladies and gay knights sat in the boxes
above the stage and applauded the
clever work of the famous actors, so
in short time will a stately queen
and her constant attendants be found
in the boxes of the curious old stage in
the Stanford playhouse listening to the
words of Will Shakespeare mouthed by
his counterpart, a gay Stanford profess
sor. John Bonnell.
The production of Every Man in
His Humor" at Stanford on March s
and IL is another step in the general
revival of interest in the early classic
drama that has found root here on the
Pacific Coast
While Every Man in His Humor'' is
a comedy. it is entirely different from
THE Knight of the Burning Pestle."
In the latter play the fun was in the
situations and it was uproarious, broad
pends for its humor largely on the
cleverness of the dialogue. 1t is a
character study and the wit is Of a
fine nature Beneath it's apparent COM
plexity the main lines of the plot are
simple. The author has brought to-
gether many characters of different
natures, whose characteristics are ex-
pressed in their names. There is Cap
tain Bobadil, a Dragging soldier: Kite
ly, the merchant; Cash. the clerk:
Brainworm, the wise man: Wellbred.

Clement, who hates to convict. and
