When James Bullen, connected with
Tiffany & Co., disappeared from his
home at 306 West Forty-second street,

gold watch, on the dial Of which was
engraved tho initials ~. B." In looking
over the plumber found in a trunk in
the room of James H. McGill, who was
arrested yesterday on suspicion of re-
ceiving stolen property, a reporter for
THE EVENING STAR found a gold
watch exactly answering the descrip-
ton of the watch Bullen had when he
disappeared.
This watch was one of eight which
were found in the iewel-laden trunk
When this information was brought tt
the attention Of the police they i'm
mediately called George Davis, II years
old. up from his cell to undergo G
cross-examination. McGill had told the
police that young Davis had sold tt
him much of the jewelry, including the
watches, and that he did not know
where Davis had obtained them.
AS much Of the loot has already beer
identified and claimed by the victims
of burglaries, the police hoped to OBJ
tain, through Davis, some definite in
formation regarding the whereabouts o
Mr.. Bullen and how he obtained hi,
watch.
Mrs. Bullen, who has maintained &
constant search for her husband since
he disappeared, has always believed
thai he either came or was lured tt
Newark.
Four of the gold watches were stole.
from ball players at the Jersey City
club, and one was stolen from tn

DEAD BOY COMES
BACK To LIFE ON
OPERATING TABLE
Surgeon Messages Heart of Sub
ject Until Organ Begins to
Perform Its Functions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-News o.
one of the most remarkable operations
performed In the United States, which
took place at the Emergency Hospital
when one of the surgeons Of that In
stitution succeeded in bringing back tc
life a 12-year-old colored boy of Hy-
a~ttsville, Md, who had died suddenly
on the surgeons table, has just been
made public.
The boy was under the influence OF
chloroform and the surgeon was oper-
ating on an infected knee when res
piration suddenly ceased. The pulse
died and finally stopped, the body be-
came cold, the limbs rigid. Artificial
respiration was resorted to, but there
was no responding p~ulsation OF the
heart. After six minute of suspense,
during which the physician resorted to
every possible method to revive the
patient, the doctor realized that there
was only one chance to save the boys
life.
With delicate skill the boys abdomen
was opened and for seven minutes the
doctor massaged the patients heart
with his finger. Finally, h he was
about to give up all hope. the boy tool
a faint voluntary breath, and for sew
eral minutes the heart pulsated gently.
Plying the heart with his fingers to
stimulate circulation of the blood. the
physician, after eighteen minutes, had
the heart pulsating normally, and knew
that he had succeeded in his almost
miraculous operation.
For a day and a half following the
operation the boy remained in excellent
condition, and every hope was held out
for his recovery. But the infection OF
the knee had spread to the left side,
and could not be checked, finally caus-
ing death.

Bitter Experience.
vnIJTH WHO ROBBED

Watches Taken from Eastern
League Stars Found in
TrunkfuI of Loot.

George Davis, II years old, was held
for larceny in 81, 900 bail, and James H,
McGill, 60 years old, was held in a like
sum for receiving stolen goods by Act
ing Judge Elmer Freeland in the First
Criminal Court today.
The arrest of the pair is one of the
most important pieces of work that the
police have done in some time, the
young man being thought to be one of
the most daring thieves In this section
and the old man having been a receiver
of stolen goods for some time.
A trunkful of jewelry valued at over
1000 was recovered at McGilPs house,
at 149 Mulberry street.
Davis was arrested Monday by Ser
geants Harris and Ryan, and after a
severe Sweating" admitted that he
had been working extensively, IN
turned his spells over to McGill. The
trunk at headquarters contains eight
gold watches, eight scarf pins, a type
writer, diamond rings and h~igh-priced
clothing.
Among the watches were he ones
stolen from the players of the Eastern
League while they were playing In Jer-
sey City.
The watches belonging to "Hughey"
Duffy, manager of the Providence team;
George Needham, of the Montreal team:
and Roy Rock, of the Montreal team,
were recovered.
When arraigned today, McGill hardly
listened to the reading of the charge
against him. His only son committed
suicide in Branch Brook Park Saturday.
The old man begged permission to at
tend the funeral, out the authorities
kept him in Jail.

PET KITTEN
BAUSE Of ROUGH
HOUSE IN HOME
James KEENAN, Batters Up the
Family, Including Tabby, and
Is Sent to Jail.

A wee grey kitten opened up a jack
pot of trouble at the home Of James
keenan,, 24S Warren street, earlEvery
early today.
"Nosey," as the kitten is named, be-
longs to Elsie, the 9-year-old daughter
of keenan,, and looks innocent enough,
though it succeeded in landing Mr..
keenan, in jail via the Fourth Precinct
Police Court. After an evening or con-
VITALITY at the emporium of a nearby
purveyor of beverages, MI. keenan,
romped into his apartments and, hav-
ing a natural antipathy for eats of all
kinds, was vexed beyond endurance at
the sight of Elsie playing house with
"Nosey" for baby.
Things happened rapidly for a few
minutes. Mr.. keenan, with a fell
swoop grabbed "Nosey" by h tail and
deposited him with force against the
opposite wall.
Meow" yelled Nosey.
"Ohl ohi" screamed Elsie.
"Gr-r-r-r-r." growled James as he
caught his daughter by the hair and
beat her with the wash tub, according
to her charge.
All this brought Mrs. Keenan, to the
fore with a fork, a rolling pin and an
easy, though picturesque flow of Ian
guage. Keenan, turned his somewhat
hazy attention to his irate better half,
and before the bell could ring h end
of the first round James wa sconqueror,
"Nosey" was whimpering, Elsie was
making a quiet disappearance and Mrs.
keenan, was nursing sundry cuts and
bruises.
In court Keenan's financial embar-
rassment was so keen he could not pay
his fine of $40 and went to his cell with
an expression that BODIED III foi

TAKING A FLY CENSUS.
insects and Typhoid Cases Counted by
Scientists.

A house-f1y census is being taken in
Washington and Pittsburg by the bU.
reau of entomology of the department
of agricultural and the marine hos
pital service, with view to gaining
further evidence as to whether flies
carry germs of typhoid.
Investigations heretofore made ap-
pear to show that wherever the fly
population is large the number Of
typhoid cases is also large.
1t is assumed that the relative
density of fly population in given dis
tricts can be ascertained by the dis
tribution of an unvarying number Of
sheets Of fly paper always put in the
same places.
These sheets are taken to the bu-
reau of entomology and counted and
the total is entered on the record OF
each fly catching station.
At the end of the season the Stats
tics showing the distribution Of typhoid
fever cases will be compared with the
total of flies caught in that district.
If the largest number of cases OF ty'
nhoid are found to have occurred in
the districts showing the largest rela-
five number of flies the theory that
flies distribute typhoid germs will have
been confirmed.-N. Y. World.
