SHERMAN QUITE SICK
Illness Of Vice Presidential ION.
inee Becomes Serious
NOW IN CLEVELAND HOSPITAL
Physicians Say Their Patient Is SUE
ferina From Gall Stones and an 90.
GRAFTON May Be Necessary to- Re.
move the Distractions.

Cleveland, June 24.-The illness of
Congressman James S. Sherman, Re-
publican nominee for vice president,
who has been ill here at the residence
of Ex-Governor Myron T. HerrdA since
Sunday, assumed a serious phase when
the patient suffered a rel chill.
Mr.. Sherman's illness, which at first
was diagnosed as a bilious attack,
now turns out to have been caused by
gall stones. Upon the advice of doc
tors who were called to attend the
patient he was removed to Lakeside
hospital. An operation may later be
performed, but this step has not yet
been fully decided upon. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Sherman suffered no i'll ef-
tects as a result of his journey from
Mr.. Herrick's residence to the hos.
pital, which was made in an invalid
carriage.
Mr.. Herrick communicated with
Mrs. Sherman over the long distance
telephone. She was greatly agitatei
upon hearing the condition of her hus-
band and declared her intention of
coming at once to Cleveland. An eff
fort to persuade her not to come at
the present time failed and she and
her son, Richard U. Sherman, an in
structor in Hamilton college at Clin-
ton, N. ", started for this city.
Similar Attack Two Years Ago.
Congressman Sherman suffered a
similar attack in New York city two
years ago while serving as chairman
of the Republican congressional cam
paign committee. He was then seri-
ously ill, but no operation was per-
formed. 45
AT Lakeside hospital it is said Mr..
Sherman is resting quite comfortably.
During the early hours of the morning
the temperature of the patient rose to
1Oz. Subsequently, however, his ply
sicians announced that it had again
become normal. Congressman Sher-
man came here from Cincinnati last
Sunday and at once went to the home
of Mr.. Herrick. There he was forced
his bed.
The illness caused by gall stones is
generally mor painful than danger
GUS. The stones form in the gall blad-
der and if not dissolved by medica-
tion increase in size until they are
too large to pass through the gall duct.
Then it is often necessary to perform
an operation and frequently the gall
bladder is removed entirely. The op-
Grafton itself is not necessarily dan
gerous. There is q large percentage
of recovery, though according to ply
sicians there is a,,wa..s danger of COM
plications.

SANTA FE FIGHTS
TWO CENT FARES
Road WIN Not Accept Kansas Law
Unless Compelled to DO So
ny the Courts.

Topeka. April 30--That the Santa
Fe railroad is backing down in the
attitude assumed by the road last fail
regarding the two cent fare rate, is
strenuously denied by ]. NJ Connell
general passenger agent for the Santa
Fe. The report has been sent broad
cast throughout the state that the
road was beginning to recognize the
two cent fare rate as final. This,
however, is strenuously denied and
the officials state in emphatic terms
that they regard the present rate as
but temporary and are only waiting
the final decision in the matter. This
phase OF the two cent rate is being
handled by the legal department.
There will be no popular rate ex-
cursions during the summer. 1t mas
been intimated on many occasions
that the Santa Fe and other roads
would go back to the former custom
OF running excursions, especially sun
day excursions to popular resorts for
merely a nominal price This, how
ever, is strehuOusly denied.
Tie only low rate which any of the
western roads are making at tne pres
ent time are the summer tourist rates
and these are interstate rates and do
not violate the agreement of the roads
regarding the two cent rate in Kan
sas. The general consensus of opin-
ion among railway officials is to mere
~ regard the present conditions as
tentative and work for the restoration
of the old three cents a mile. Should
such a rate be restored the old excur-
sions would be reinaugurated.
