THUMB TORN OFF, PUT
ON AGAIN, BAKED--O. K

ST. Louis, Oct. 9.-One of the rarest
and most delicate operations known to
surgery-Grafting a completely severed
member back to the human body-has
been successfully performed in Ed
'wardsville. The right thumb of Ben
Jason, a stalwart young truckman in a
clay factory, after being smashed off,
was sewn on and is healed and alive.
Throw that thing away said a
friend, referring to the crushed frag-
'ment. You don't want - lie carrying
a thing like that around"
"Ih going to wait till l see the doc
tor" Jason said, o~bstinately. III he
says throw 1t away, l will"
DIR. Barnsbacll congratulated the
truckman on saving the thumb. He
carefully washed and dressed 10Th the
mangled stump n the fragment. The
ragged edges Of both were trimmed off
and where the bone had been Splintered
completely away 1t was taken out. Sliv-
ers of bone which still chung in place
were left there.
Jason did not ask for an anesthetir
while this was being done. He watched
the procedure With interest.
Then Jason was taken home n DR..
Barnsback told him he must hold the
thumb In an oven for two days at least.
No specific temperature was required
Sut the surgeon wanted the hand KEEP,
hOt-baked. For three days and two
nights Jason sat beside the kitchen
stove and held his right hand i'm am
oven, catching what snatcheS of sleep
he could.
DR.. Barnsback says the thumb is en-
tlrely healed. but is still stiff.

RAILWAY CHIEFS
DECRY RATE LAWS

New York, Oct. 16.-Complaints
against the anti-railroad legislation in
various states characterized the annual
reports of three railroads issued ,oday,
the Atchison, the Wabash and the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
President Ripley. of the .Atchison.
says:
1T is hoped and believed the public
will soon realize that its attitude to-
ward the railroads in general has not
been lust to their stock and %bondhold-
ers, and also that unless the confidence
of investors in the security and stabil-
lily of railway investments is restored
1t Will be impossible to obtain the adj
ditional railway facilities necessary to
n development of the country"
President Ripley adds that the Atchi-
son directors have suspended various
extensive projects, and will limit the
company's capital expenditures TO the
completion of improvements to which
the company is already committed.
President Stevens, of The Chesapeake
and Ohio. says: 1T would seem to be
the intention of tho communities and
the people served by the railroads
lines that the II should not be
lessened or credit injured by further
reducing rates that are inadequate to
meet the physical requirements of the
property and to yield returns which
the shareholders may rightfully ex-
peCt."
President Delano. of the Wabash,
speaking of the enactment of 2-cent
passenger laws by Indiana. Illinois,
Missouri and Iowa. says:
While these laws have not been ef-
fective during the fiscal year and we
cahnot therefore determine accurately
their results. IL IS clear they must, if
remaining in force, seriously affect pas.
