KILL RABBIT; MAKES IT LIVE.
Russian Woman Doctor Has Apparatus
For RESTORING Victims.

New York, Nov 1s.-Dr. Louise G.
Rabinovitch, the young Russian woman
who recently announced that she could
restore life in those who apparently
had been put to death by electricity,
gave remarkable demonstration to-
day before the officers of the New York
Edison company, reviving an appar-
emily dead rabbit
The rabbit apparently was killed by
an electric current. Several physicians
present declared the rabbit was dead.
Then the young woman prepared her
apparatus and attached various con-
tact arrangements to the supine and
apparently lifeless rabbit. BY turn
ing the current on and of several times
and then allowing a strong current to
run steadily for several moments, she
produced artificial respiration.
Within three minutes the rabbit was
breathing naturally again. Three min
utes later 1t was kicking its legs, and
when released from the apparatus 1t
was as lively as ever.

charges made in a current magazine,
Secretary Ballinger OF the interior de-

others.

Mackay, president of the Mackay
Companies, issued the following state
ment to the public yesterday after
noon:
We have had nothing to do, either
directly or indirectly, with the COM
btnation of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company with the
Western Union Telegraph Company
We have not wished to join it. and
have not been invited to join It, There
have been no negotiations whatsoever
with US in regard to the matter, and
there Is every reason why we should
not have had anything to do with it.
We knew nothing about it until the
day when it was publicly announced.
1t is true that we own a large block
of stock of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company but that is
one of our many investments. We new
er have had and have not now any
representation on the board of that
company, and our stock is not consult
ed or considered any more than the
stock of any other stockholder, as you
will see from o41e fact that we knew
nothing about this deal until publicly
announced. IVh< statement that Mr.
VIM. H. Baker represents us in incor-
rect. He does not represent us in
anything in the slightest degree.
Neither have we had anything to do
with purchases of telephone companies

Our company is slow and conserva-
tive in It's investments but swift and
aggressive in it's service. We are not
disturbed in any way. We have sue
eessfully met hard competition for over
twenty-five years. and have prospered
and are III arst class financial ccndi-

waited until this matter had simmered
down, so that we could make one state

AN IMPENDING sAAkEuP.
High Officials May Leave Rock Islam,
Frisco Systematic Chances Likely.

High Officials May Leave Rock island
Frisco System-Big Changes Likely.
Chicago, Nov. 20.-Persistent rumors
of an impending shakeup in the Rock
Island-F'risco system and possible
financial rearrangements that will
change the railroad map of the country
have reached Chicago from New York
and st. Louis, the headquarters of the
Frisco. These rumors furnished one
Of the main topics of discussion among
the railroad officials in attendance at
the meetings of the American Railway
Association herethis week.
According to the reports. B. r.
Yoakum, chairman of the executive
committee of both the Rock Island and
Frisco. has resigned and will become
allied with the Hawley system and the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which he
recently acquired Jointly with the Haw-
ley interests.
B. L. Winchell. president of the Rock
Island and vice chairman of the Frisco
at Chicago, is to go with him according
to the story, altho another version has
it that Mr.. Winchell will succeed Mr..
Yoakum at the head of the combined
roads.
MIR. Yoakum and Mr.. Winchell, in
New York last night, both denied the
truth of the reports.
A. j. Davidson, president OF the
Frisco, at st. Louis, recently resigned
and announced that he had made other
arrangements, and Carl r. Gray, vice
president of the road, who was elected
TO his place on the board, has. been
picked by the railroad gossips as his
successor as president.
Long standing and increasing fric-
ton between Mr.. Yoakum and the
Moore and Reid interests. which con-
troll the Rock Island and Frisco, is said
to have prompted Mr.. Yoakum's resig-
nation.
1t is said the strained relations
widened into serious breach when Mr..
Yoakum joined the Hawley interests in
acquiring the controlling interests in
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
This line parallels the Frisco turnout
almost it's entire length and is one of
its strongest competitors. The Sher-
man law provides legal obstacles for
the merger of the two lines, and 1t is
understood the heads of the Frisco
came so uncomfortably close to pro-
secution on account of the combination
with the Rock Island that they have no
disposition to complicate the matter
further.
