Fighting Cheaper Fares,

PHILADELPHIA, July ll.-President

ed by that company against the city
and county of Philadelphia, to re-
rain enforcement of the &c railroad
fare bill passed by the last legisla-
ture. The law goes into effect October
l and provides a penalty of 81, 900 for
each violation. Other railroads have
begun similar actions, and today's
proceedings were regarded as a test
case.
Counsel for the railroad argued tn at
the reduced rate was unreasonable and
would not return fair profit. City

ings should have been brought against
the state. Nevertheless, he would
guard the city's interests. The rail.
road company presented summary
OF earnings and expenses on inter.
state passenger business for the first
three months OF this year. 1t showed
the average rate per passenger per
mile was 1907 cents. The earnings
for the three months were S3,O7O,9 9s5

law had been in force during these
months the earnings would have been

Bright warm. almost summer weather,

sections. has excee leii eny preceding year,

the getting of goods in sufficient volume

backward. which is attributed variously
to slow deliveries of goods, congestion of
farm product deliveries and finally to the
heavily increased volume Of past trade.

in which her husbands blood was pumped
direct from his arteries into hers. The
woman, who was in a state of coma at
the time. is now on the road to recovery,
and her husband, though wea. from the
loss of blood. will be restored to his nor
NAL condition. Mrs. Andersen, who is 30
years old, had been suffering from ex-
IRENE anemia for several years Pale and
weak, she seemed almost bloodless. Ten
days ago the disease took turn for the
worst, and her attending physician, DIR.
Reisman, had her moved to the Polytechnic
hospital. Finally she lapsed into coma
The surgeons gave her heart stimulants,
but in vain. Then DR.. Reisman thought
of the experiments of DIR. Dorrance in
blood transfer" DIR. Dorrance was sum
moned. He had experimental with AMI
mails with success, but never on human
beings. Anderson and his wife were plac-
ed OF the operating table together. The
man was put under an anRsthetic. An
artery in his left arm was punctured. and
through a tube blood was pumped into
an artery in his wife's arm. She rallied
at once and rapidly gained in strength.
After two quarts of Anderson's blood had
flowed into his wife's arteries the tube
was removed and the wounds OF both pa
tients dressed. Anderson wept with joy
when he came from under the influence
of the ether and saw his wife restored to
consciousness and strength.
