connecting his artery with an artery
in the right arm OF the patient had
been disconnected, the patient turned
and made some incoherent remark.
Hill looked at the form on the Sec
ond table and saw hand thrust tow

warmly though silently.
Then Hill walked to a Madison av-
enue car at Seventy-first street and
rode downtown, where he met a

Although the operation occurred at

Despite the heroic treatment ad-
ministered and the obvious tremen-
dous virility OF Hills blood, the pa
tient died last night. When surgeons
in several other hospitals learned OF
Hills getting up and walking off, they
declared it was one of the most re-

The main contention of the govern

which are to be centered in the ex-
animation Of the railroad witnesses,
are that the Standard Oil company
was given rebates by the railroad
compnie's that secret concessions
were made to it, that preferential
rates were established for its ad-
vantage and that in addition, in many
cases the railroads so manipulated the
open rtes that the big. oil company
had decided advantage over Its

MARooNED AT BIRTH
Woman Castaway Gave Birth to
Baby Girl.

Suva, Fiji Islands, Oct 1.-The
castaways from the British teamer
Aeon, who spent nearly two months
on Christmas island, an almost barren
coral formation in the Pacific ocean,
arrived here today on the steamer
Manuka, of the Canadian-Australian
line, all well and increased by one
in number. A daughter was born to
the wife of Chaplain B. r. Patrick,
U. 8. NJ, twenty-four hours before the
Manuka was sighted, and this event,
with the arrival 81 the rescuers, was
made the occasion of much rejoicing.
The Manuka reached Christmas
island on September %. Six hundred
bags of mail were transferred to the
steamer during the night and the pas
sengers and crew of the Aeon we're
taken aboard the next morning.
The Aeon left San Francisco on
July for Auckland by way Of Apia,
and was carried on the coral island
by the strong currents setting in
shore. The stamer speedily broke up,
but the mails were saved and large
quantity of stores. The refugees suf-
fered few privations, but found them
selves amid the remnants OF former
wrecks. indicating the danger Of the
reefs and tides.
Besides the officers ana crew, the
Aeon carried Mrs. Patrick and her
children and the wife of Lieut.. w. X.
Riddle, U. 8. N. Rude shelters were
built, but later quite an artistic cot
tage was erected for Mrs. Patrick and
her nurse out Of lumber and the cabin
fittings Of the ship. Among the stores
saved were plenty of fresh vegetables
and the men of the crew got fish in
abundance by the use of clubs in the
surf.

SASKATCHEWAN CROP
Total for All Grains Estimated a
Ninety Millions.

Regina, Sask., Oct. Ia bulletin
issued by the department of agricul-
ture today estimates the total yield
of the Saskatchewan grain crops at
89.467.795 bushels, as compared with
53, ,251 bushels last year and 63,-
052, ,210 bushels in the banner year of
1906, thus making this far and away
the biggest year in the history of the
province. While the figures now given
out may have to be somewhat revised
before the final crop returns are COM
piled from threshers' returns, the
present estimate may be taken as fair
ly approximate to the general yield,
The following are the estimates
given under the heads of the different
crops: Wheat-Acreage 1876 ,058;
estimated yield. 43,539, sos bushels;
average per acre, 1894 bushels. Oats
Acreage 1.170.452; estimated yield,
41.66S,065 bushels; average per acre,
$3.50 bushels. Barley-Acreage 101,-
033; estimated yield, 2,695,113; aver
age per acre 1857 bushels. Flax
Acreage, 141, ,451; estimated yield, l.
570,009 bushels; average per acre,
lilo bushels.
It is estimated that but for the hot
winds toward the end of July the to-
tai grain production OF the province
this year would have reached the 10O,-
100000 bushel mark, 1t being calculat-
ed that the loss in wheat alone, due
to this cause. was about 10000 900
bushels.

EIGHT HOUR LAW OUT
Wisconsin Supreme Court Says II Is
Unconstitutional

Madison, Wis, Oct. 1.-The su-
preme court today declared as un-
constitutional the Wisconsin eight
hour railroad telegraphers' law, which
was enacted at the 1907 session of
tho legislature. The law is declared
unconstitutional on the theory that
it is in conflict with the provisions
of the federal constitution which
clothes congress with the power to
regulate interstate commerce and fur
ther on the theory that congress hav-
ing already provided law fixing the
hours of railway telegraphers from
9 to 13 hours, it was not within the
power Of the state to enact law
which would in effect change the
hours Of labor
In effect the decision is one of the
most far reaching of the court as it
practically prohibits the state from en-
acting laws relating to the hours of
labor on interstate railroads as long as
there is a federal statute in force.

TAFT BEARDED
LION IN HIS DEN
Told About Bryan's sophis-
tries in Lincoln-He Will
Reach Omaha Tonight

Beatrice, Neb.,, Oct. 1.-Refreshed,
in better voice and very much graft
fed at the reception and hearing ac-
corded him in Lincoln last night, Will
liam Howard Taft began his second
day in Nebraska today with speech
at Cret. He spoke about the failure
of the Democratic remedies to pro-
duce good markets. At WILDER and
Dewitt, large crowds were found and
at Beatrice, the home of several
manufacturers of farming imple-
ments, the largest meeting to be held
before Omaha is reached tonight, took
place. The itinerary today includes
short speeches at Wymore, Pawnee,
Hall City, Auburn. Nebraska City and
Plattsmouth, arriving at Omaha for
the big demonstration tonight.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. Accepting the
challenge OF William ]. Bryan right
in the hcme city of the Nebraskan,
William H. Taft last night not only
endorsed President Roosevelts posi-
ton on the question OF the publicity
of campaign contributions, but de-
tended it with arguments calculated
to establish that position as sound
from the standpoint of public good
and to show that the Bryan position
was one simply for prediction SEN
sationalism.
Mr.. Taft made eleven speeches in
Nebraska yesterday before reaching
Lincoln and five speeches in that city
last night. His audiences throughout
were large and enthusiastic and his
reception in Lincoln was made par
ticularly gratifying to him by the en-
thusiasm and friendliness exhibited by
the immense crowds which greeted
him at all points. Excursion trains
came to Lincoln from many places in
the state during the day and the city
was alive with bands, marching clubs
and general campaign exhiliration and
excitement.
Mr.. Bryan, whose plan was to reach
the city yesterday morning, had chang
ed his schedule so as to bring him
in at / o'clock this morning. This
change precluded any possible meet
ing between candidates.
The one disappointing feature of the
Taft demonstration in Lincoln was the
bad condition of the voice of the can
didate. He had talked continually
throughout the day in the open air,
and this, added to the strain he has
been under during every day for the
past eight days. made him decidedly
hoarsc.
The big meeting last night was held
at the auditorium which was crowded
with enthusiastic shouters for Taft.
It was here that the candidate paid
his respects to Mr.. Bryan regarding
campaign contributions and what he
said was heartily approved.
When the Taft special reached Lin
coin shortly before four o'clock, i:
was greeted by an immense crowd.

THE HARVESTER
TRUST BRIEF
, Attorney Vt m! General Relies on
Judge Taft's Decision
to Sustain Case

Topeka. Kan, Oct. 1.-Relying
principally upon the decision of Judge
William H. Taft in the Addyston Pipe
and Steel company antitrust case,
when Judge Taft was a Judge of the
United States circuit court of appeals,
Attorney General jackson of this
state today completed the brief of the
state in the criminal case against the
international Harvester company.
This case was first brought by the
attorney general. in the district court
Of this county, for alleged violation of
the antitrust laws of the state. The
company was convicted ON forty
three counts and fined $500 on each
count. The case was appealed to the
supreme court of Kansas. Attorney
General Jackson lays much stress on
the decision of Judge Taft that ex-
elusive contracts are permissible in
order to protect the manufacturer and
the agent, but when this exclusive
contract acted as a restraint of trade
and the building up of a monopoly,
that such contracts are illegal. The
state charges that the harvester COM
papy has violated this ruling.

was grossly abused during her captiv.
ity, her clothing was taken from her

frequently beaten, was not given suf-
ficient food and was constantly
threatened with death if she sought
