PROBE BRAINS; SAVE LIFE
Cutting Off Skull, Surgeons Effect Mirac-
ulous Cure of Case Thought
Hopeless.

NEW YORK, April S.-Timothy
Kane, who for three years has suffered
agonizing diseases, is in Bellevue hos
pitaI with his mental faculties weak as
those of child, and with surgeons and
nurses teaching him to speak, read,
write and distinguish between the OBJ
jects about him.
Three years ago the man was struck
on the head and lesion of the brain de-
veloped. Two weeks after he had been
injured he developed epilepsy. Paralysis
followed. Then came, motor aphasla,
and then loss of speech.
Surgeons, after they had found Kane
to be sane, removed the top of the mans
skull and performed daring feats in sur
gerry. They explored every cavity of his
brain and then waited.
Three days later Kane could speak,
and now he is on the road to recovery.

FORAKER PLAN FAILURE.
Ohio Attorney General Says There Can
Be No Legal Direct Primary for
Choice of United States Senator.

COLUMBUS, O., April 9.-Attorney
General Ellis declares that there is no
way under existing laws that a direct
primary for the selection of a candi-
date for President or United States SEN
ator can be held at public expense"
The opinion was in response to the
many queries concerning the legality of
the proposed primary suggested by Sen
ator Foraker, and accepted by the
friends of Secretary of War Taft, who
have begun a canvass to secure the Ohio
delegation to the next national Repub-
lican convention.
The attorney general says that such
a primary can only be held at private
expense and must be conducted entirely
separate from the regular elections.

b. the births it was organized to pro-
mote, the American Birth Insurance So
ciety has gone into the hands of receiv-
ers, and the supreme court has been asked
to decide the disposition of $1,000 on
hand.
The society started operations about
two years ago and was intended to, pay
$3.50 to 5000 upon the birth of baby

being that many families avoided chill

upon their coming
Though it secured much new business,
the society was unable to keep up with
the births it had to pay for, and decided

SUE E. H. HARTMAN
FOR ALTON RUIN.
Advice of Attorney General of Illinois in,
Report to Governor-State Ac-
ton PerilouS.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April S.-Attor-
ney General Stead, after a thorough in
vestigation of the ''gold bricking' of pur-
chasers of Chicago & Alton stock, has
reached the conclusion that E. III. Harri-
man, George ]. Gould, James Stillman,
and Mortimer L. Schiff are liable for
damages for their manipulations, charl-
tably called 'fnanciering," OF that rail-
road property.
He intimates also that they are Grim
inally liable and asserts that the charter.
of the road can be revoked by the state.
His advice, however, is that stockhold-
ers who have been deceived into buying
stock on which no dividends can be made
because of the heavy debts contracted
by the road bring suit for damages
against Hartman and his associates.
States Right Is Clear.
The right of the state to act is made
clear, but so also are the consequences.
AS was pointed out when the state first
took up an investigation of Harriman's
manipulations OF the road, Mr. Stead
declares the state authorities face the
certainty of bringing disaster to the in
nocent purchasers if an attempt be made
to proceed civilly against the fnanciers.
Urges Stockholders to Act.
Ii the cnarCor S1OuIQ De revoked the
stockholders also would suffer. Mr..
Stead advises the purchasers themselves
to institute action on the ground that
they have been defrauded.
A long statement of the Chicago &
Alton manipulations and their result are
incorporated in a letter which the attor-
ney general has submitted to Gov. De-
neen. The two officials have been over
the figures together, and both now are
studying them further.
