WORKMAN rs BURNED
IN PECULIAR MANNER
Employee Of General Electric Company
Is Drawn to Transformer by Force
Of Current. <sa55. - :. I ~

Caught in the maelstrom of invisible
but irresistible currents about trans
former thru which fromfl3 900 to IL 900
volts of electricity were passing, Vic
tor Rasmussen a7workman employed
about the East Side plant of the Gener-
al Electric company, was drawn to the
iron box like a needle to magnet yes
by his scream of terror as the currents
seized him and Mortified by the odor
of his burning flesh, his fellow, workers
looked on helpless. One with more pres
ence of mind than the rest caught up
a plank and pried him lose just in
time to save his life, but not soon
enough to prevent his being horribly
burned. t*.'- :- -.
Rasmussen was helping with the in,
stallatlon OF new switchboard in the
balcony. of the power plant. Two trans:
former boxes were directly to his rear.
In his hand he held a heavy iron
wrench: Turning suddenly he evidently
brought the wrench too close to the
feld' of currents about the trans
former, which was nothing, less than
powerful magnet. In an instant he
was jerked from his feet as by the
hand Of a giant. Then the currents
passing thru his body caught it and
doubled it over the transformer, where.
he was held powerless, just. as the small
magnets sold as toys paralyze the hands
that hold their handles when the crank
is turned :.
: Only the rare good Judgment of his
companion in using a plank to- pry him
lose prevented loss J. Of life, J.: for
had another; touched him, he, too, would
have, been; sucked. into. the invisible
whirlpool. -: - ~ >..-r,,.
When the garments were: cut from
Rasmussen IS body it, was found that
the flesh was burned from his back and
right leg. The hand which held the
wrench was charred to the bone. The
namc Of the plucky, and 4 coel-headed
,rescuer& cannot be learned, as he quit
the job permanently after performing
his heroic rfeaty declaring that he would
risk his life about the plant tt no 1onger.
An eyewitness, of the accident said
that while other and less dangerous
transformers were protected: by guard
rails and bore warning placards, the one
upon which Rasmussen was almost sac
rificed had neither rail nor .placard, ur:-
til after the accident. Then SAYS the
witness, q hasty barrier was erected to
prevent further accidents Of a. similar
nature. 49, = Ut : -.
Rasmussen was taken to st. Barnnabas
hospital, where it was reported last
night that, while, he was suffering in
tense pain, he probably would recover
from his injuries. 80 5EN>Se - -

UNIVERSITY y I ! !. ! g ]. HOSPITAL { p
= MAY GO TO MIDWAY
Site May Be Chosen on ST. Paul Side
Of River, Eqddistant Between Two
Cities.

=; The University of Minnesota hospi-
tal,. to be erected with the Elliot be-
quest funds, secured by the sale of the
4erxa corner, may be built in the Mil
way district, between the two cities.
Negotiations are used to be in progress
for the purchase by the university re-
gents OF "a tract Of ground lying on the
mississippi river bank, between Min
neapolis and St. Paul, and with certain
donations in view for the acquisition
of ground on which to build, the new
hospital will be erected on ground not
adjacent to the campus. It is argued
that land in the, vicinity Of the pro-
posed. site can be secured much cheaper
than land near the campus. It is prob
able that the grounds will be at least
i've, acres in extent. ~
In connection with the hospital
plans, it is .rumored that the regents
are considering the esta blishment of a
hospital for crippled children. St Paul
men are said to be back Of the move
ment and if the regents will consent
to the. erection of the new building be-
tween the two cities, and not on the
university campus, the department
will be installed under the supervision
of the university medical school.
Ever since the Elliot bequest made
possible the erection Of a. university
hospital, St. Paul physicians have adj
vocated the erection Of the new build
ing at a place equidistant from the
two cities. It is argued that hospi-
tai erected in such a location would Be
equally aecessi BILE to Minneapolis and
st. Paul physicians and better co-opera-
tion between the university and author
tiles and twin city physicians could be
obtained ~.@..~

DANGERS ARE COMING
Famous Company from Stockholm Will
Be Here Jan. 9,

BE Here Jan. 2.
The Swedish National Dancers of the
Skansen Photographed gardens of
Stockholm will appear at the Auditor
lum Jan. 2. These dancers are one of
the most original attractions that ever
came her from Scandinavia and drew
two large audiences to the Auditorium
last year. The dancers and their i'd
oilers are the same as last year, but
they have exchanged one couple in the
peculiar and trying dance Of Jossher-
spolska for another couple Of special
proficiency. This couple will also in
troduce Traskodansen, or the character
lstlc Scandian sabot dance
To see the, Skansen dancers perform
some OF their numbers is like listening
to the pastoral symphony Of Beethoven
or the Rustic Wedding Of Soderman or
Gcldmark. These dances appeal to the
learned and: cultivated Just as much, as
to everyday, unpretentious folks.
This season the Swedish National
Dancers have appeared under the aus
pieces OF the state universities Of Mich
igan and Nebraska, their value also
from a purely athletic point of view
being considerable. In Minneapolis
the dancers are more popular favorties
than elsewhere and probably will draw
one of the largest audiances Of the
season to the Auditorium. The dane
ers will be assisted by, Mrs. Clara Arl-
berg Backdahl the soloist of the
famous During Ladies Quintet. - (.

picked Christmas shoppers in their
dilemma of 'swhat to buy f Q.
When Mrs. Vrooman first originated
the "glove certificate - idea, it was a
decided innovation and became ex-
tremely popular. Gloves no longer were
given but the certificate instead. thus
giving the recipient an opportunity to
pick his or her choice and get an exact
fit without exchanging. Mrs: Vrooman
has since elaborated upon her idea by
making her glove. certificate good in
any other department Of her store.
Those desiring some article more par.
ticularly than gloves may take it and
apply it on the glove order. In this
way the receiver is always able to pick
out exactly that which is most desired.
