SALT ANO OXYGEN GIVE LIFE
MAN IN NORFOLK RESUSCITAT
ED BY THIS MEANS.
Blood of Patient Turned Black by
Gas Withdrawn and Saline
Solution Substituted.

NORFOLK, March S.-When Moses
Goodman of this city regained his senses
there was a day missing in his span Of
years that he will know nothing about,
and it will take lots of explaining to
make him fully realize that he has been
nearer to the shores beyond than most
people have ever been without actually
getting there.
AN oxygen generator and respirator are
directly responsible for Goodman's life be-
ing saved.
Friday night Moses came over the river
and went to the theater. For couple of
days all the gas in the eighth ward had
pairing a leak in the main, and Moses
evidently left the jet in his room wide
open and went to bed.
Two pints of blood was taken from the
arm of Moses. and thousand cubic CEN
timeters of saline solution injected. The
action of the gas had turned the blood of
Moses black, and he was as near being a
dead man as could be imagined.
DIR. LawfOrd had one of Prof. POe's
oxygen generators and respirators in his
hospital and he resolved to try 1t. This
machine has restored dead animals to
life after they had been chloroformed. but
no real test had ever been made upon a
human being. Pure oxygen was pumped
into the patients lungs and pumped out
again. The very slight natural respira-
ton that existed when the man was
brought to the sanitarium was accentuat-
ed by this treatment with the injection
of powerful StimulantS. The generator
was kept busy all day long.

LEAPS FROM HIGH WINDOW
NAVY OFFICER WAS DELIRIOUS
FROM FEVER.
Lieut.. Commander Reid Suffers Con-
cussion of the Brain and
Broken Collar Bone

While delirious from the effects Of "a
fever yesterday morning Lieut.. Com
mander James H. Reid, navigating officer
of the L. s. s. Des Moines. jumped from
second-story window of the Naval Med
lcal School Hospital and was seriously in
Jured. He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition. suffering from concus-
sion of the brain and a broken collar
bone. 1t was stated at the hospital to-
day that his condition remains unchanged,
but it is thought that unless complications
arise no operation will be necessary.
Reid sent his nurse, a male al
tendant, to another room shortly after 4
o. clock yesterday morning to get glass
of water. The nurse had hardly left the
place before the officer got out of his bed
and barricaded the door with chairs. He
then seized heavy oak table and ram
med 1t against the window sash, winch
had been locked. tearing it from its fas-
tening. Reid took a running jump and
dived headlong from the window, strik-
ing upon his head on the ground thirty
feet below.
Reid had been confined at the hos
from nervous breakdown, which. 1t is
stated. resulted from overwork while with
the Des Moines In the tropics. He was
brought to the hospital in this city and
TOT u l1me became worse, Dut ouTlns lhe
past few days his condition improved and
1t was thought he was on the road to re-
covery. The fact that the patient es-
capped instant death is considered by the
hospital surgeons remarkable.
Lieut.. Commander James Henry Reid
Is native of Virginia and was appointed
to the navy from that state in September,
1884. Since then he has served at sea
about fourteen years, his last cruise hav-
ing been on the cruiser Des Moines in

KANSAS GOOD AND DRY.
No Alcoholic Liquors to Be Sold for
AnY Purpose


TOPEKA, Kans.. March S.-Kansas has
taken the lead of all the states in abso-
lutely prohibiting the sale and manufac-
ture Of alcoholic beverages.
Gov. Stubbs has signed the bill prohib-
iting the sale of liquors for any purpose.
and It is the most drastic law ever put
upon the statute books Of any state.
Druggists are barred from handling any
kind of liquors, and physicians are pro-
hibited from prescribing them for medi-
cine. Alcohol cannot be used in the arts
and sciences.

date for the publication of the law. Large
stocks Of liquors in storage. in clubs. in
wholesale houses and drug stores Will
have to be disposed Of before the new law
takes effect. What will become of the
great stock of liquors is a problem.
There are a great many prominent pro-
hibitionists who fear the legislature Went
too far in absolutely prohibiting the sale
Of alcoholic liquors for any purpose and
especially in denying physicians the privl-
lege of prescribing ii in their practice.
These advocates are glad that the liquor
drug store is outiawed. but they argue
that, in making the law so sweeping there
is liable to be reaction which would
bring with IL d reign of the poot-legser.

This law is constitutional. The SUI
preme courts of several states, OF Kansas
and of the United States have said that a
state may entirely prohibit the manulac-
ture and sale Of intoxicating liquors This
law will be easier to enforce than the Ole
law, because of its simplicity and because
of the power placed In the hands vi

IF the friends Of prohibition and law
enforcement will not become panic
stricken but will stand and present

vance to complete victory in the next two

Tobacco Growing in Ireland.

Special CabIegram TO The star.
DUBLIN, March $50 far as last sea-
son is concerned tobacco growing in Ire
land seems to have been a success. An
exceptionally good crop is reported from
Tasoat, County Wexford. where some
twelve acres yielded an average per acre
of over 1COO pound weight of excellent
leaf. On some of the plots higher grade
was grown and this il is said, will man
ufacture into the best Quality of ciga-
rettes. In fact it is claimed that the eX-
perimenIs have proved that if proper care
is taken and the necessary attention
paid even the finest qualities of leaf may
be grown successfully. No doubt the ex-
ceptionally favorable weather conditions
cont ributed largely TO the result, but
much was also due to the greater expert
ence and increased skill of the growers.
Most of the produce has been bought by
British manufacturers.
