RUSSIA WANTS IN ON LOAN
Cars Minister to China is Urging
Claims to Part in Railroad Deal.
HAS THE BACKING OF FRANCE
Belief That France Has Increased It's
Demands for Part in Construct
Ing the Line is New
Feature.

PEKING, Sept 3.-Under Instructions
from St Petersburg, NJ Korotovitz, the
Russian minister to China, will tomorrow
for the second time urge the foreign board
to recognize Russla's claim for representa-
tion in the allotment of the loan Of $4,000
900 for the construction of the Hankow-
sze-Chun railroad. France is said to be
supporting Russia in this course. St
Petersburg does not accept the Chinese
contention that the loan has been con-
cluded
The Russian claims will have the effect
in principle Of opening competition for
the German share of the loan, as the Ger
mans are the only participants whose po-
sltion is not protected by the existing con
vention. 1t is understood here that the
Germans constitute the strongest obstacle
to the signing of a loan agreement by
China and the United States, an essential
to the American equality in participation
and the completion of such an agreement
is the bone of contention. 1t is believed
French interests are now seeking degree
OF equality in Chinese financial affairs
equal to that for which American interests
are striving
Russian Contention Not Good.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S-The persistence
with which Russia is striving for represent
alton with the other nations in the $50 O0O,
COO loan for the construction of the Han
kow-Sze-Chuen Chinese railroad. it is ad-
mitted here, may result in further delay
in the signing of the agreement. Although
State department officials are reticent on
the subject, It is known that the course
Of ST. Petersburg in demanding equal
representation in the loan with Great
Britain, Germany, France and the United
States is not favorably regarded. because
the Russians, 1t is said, have no real basis
for such demand. Some time ago It was
intimated that Russia's action may have
been instigated by outside interests op-
posed to the distribution of the loan.
The statement from Peking that France
is seeking a degree of equity with the other
three nations in the financial affairs OF
China, It is feared, may still further com
plicate matters. According TO the agree
ment, France was to receive equal snare
with the other nations in the loan and

NEW YORK, June 19.-Forty-five per-
sons who have died recently form the
basis of a most remarkable report on
bringing the dead back to life, according
to the Medical Record. OF the forty-fve
cases treated under the new theory of
manipulating the heart by the hand, sew
enteen patients were resuscitated, nine
with complete recovery. The remaining
eight died after short time.
Forty of the cases treated are said to
have been due to the anaesthetic admin
istered. The report says that in each in
stance Immediately after death ensued,
or not more than five minutes afterwards,
the chest was opened and the heart was
given direct application of manual mas
sage.
After the chest cavity has been open
ed, the hand is forced in and the heart is
grasped, and pushing toward the anterior
thoracic walls" according to the Medical
Record, land the ventricles are squeezed
rhythemically at about normal beats.

imous consent to take the resolution up,
but a viva voce vote got ii before the
house under a suspension OF the rules.
In the course of a fervid plea by Mr..
Ransdell. of Louisiana, for the passage of

Livingston, of Georgia, with the charge
that the Louisiana member acknowledged
that the senate had disseminated in favor
OF certain projects and intended Ito close
our mouths and put the gag on us and
make us adopt this resolution without
amendment"
After further opposition by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald and an Intellectual effort by Mr..
Tawney to amend the resolution, the vote
was taken, resulting: Ayes 152; noes %.

TO PARDON BOARD

LAGRANGE, Ga. June 21.-The decision
as handed down by the supreme court
of Georgia, Sustaining the Judgment OF
the Troup superior court in the case OF
the state VS.. DR.. ]. NJ. Elliott. has arous-
ed again the interest in this now cele-
brated case.
1t is generally understood that an APP

Colonel NJ U. Mooty. of LAGRANGE, were
attorneys for the defense. The latter
was seen this morning and when asked

OF PARIS
GRIPPING WOMEN

NEW YORK, June 1S.-"The New York
women are being crippled by the Paris
fashions and the men of Paris and New
York are responsible for it,"
Emphatically and in detail, Dr. Sarah
]. McNutt, one of New York's most en-
inent women physicians. agreed with the
quoted sartorial beliefs of the official head
of the United Tai1ors association of
America.
But If women suffer physically for the
style of clothes they wear, ii is largely
men who are responsible" reiterated DR..
McNutt, land their responsibility springs
from two sources.
MANY of the fashion extremes and alb
surdities that come to us from Paris
would never have been launched if men
had not been directly responsible. They
would never have been thought of by
women.
THE second ground upon which would
hold men responsible for women's dress
absurdities goes deeper into human ma
ture The barbarian in man admires ex-
tremes in dress, what one might call
striking costumes, on women. After all.
practically every woman in the world Is
dressing to make herself attractive in the
eyes of at least one man. Let the men
cease to be lured by grotesque fashions
and see with what a sigh of relief women
will adopt moderation"

COUNTY OFFICERS
PLACED ON SALARIES

MACON, Ca. June 21.-If the representatives
to the general assembly from other parts Of
Georgia feel toward the fee system DO
Messrs. Roland Ellis and w. II. Evans. Of Bibb,
the death knell will be sounded. and the
county Officers will be paid upon a salary basis
I'm short time. Both Of the representatives OF
this county are opposed to the system in general
and are willing to take a hand in any movement
that may tend to its abolition and the creation
Of a new system.
Some time ago the grand Jury turned over It's
special presentments TO the superior court and
in them the jury asked the representatives OF
Bibb county TO introduce bill at the coming
session OF the legislature looking to the aboll
ton Of the system. That the representatives
have been giving this matter serious attention
Of late is to be believed from statements which
they have Just made and IT is a sure thing that
one of the three will introduce bill unless
some other person steps In first.
All of the representatives are together In be-
lleving that the fee officers should receive
salaries for their work instead, but all admit
that It will take general upheaval to accom-
that are now in existence. The fee system per
meates nearly all the county work by way UI
another and several hundred sections of the
codes say what sized fee shall be received by
the Officers for different duties performed BY
them II the system is changed it will mean
repeal of all these acts.
What the representatives Of Bibb believe Is
needed is a scale carefully worked out that win
give every officer just compensation for nh
work They say that Of course, the clerk In
small county Is not worth as much salary as
like officer in Fulton, Bib, Richmond or Chat
nam.

M|STRIAL RESULTS
IN CALHOUN TRIAL
Jury is Discharged With Ten for
Acquittal and Two for Convlc-
tion-Calhoun Gives Statement
for Publication After Trial.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 1.-Ter-
minating in a disagreement of the jury
with ten men determined on acquittal
and two steadfastly resolved upon con-
viction, the trial of President Patrick
Calhoun, of the United Railroads, ended
at noon yesterday.
Five months and a week had transpir-
ed since the wealthy street car magnate,
a descendant OF Patrick Henry, made his
first appearance in court to answer to
the charge of offering a bride of A.ooo
to a supervisor to obtain a privilege for
his corporation.
VERDICT IMPOSSIBLE.
Not until each juror had pronounced
as hopeless the prospect of a verdict, was
the order for their liberation made BY
Judge Lawlor, prosecution and defense
giving assent to the discharge.
The trial ended quietly and without de-
monstration. The defendant and his at
torneys, as we'll as the chief officers or
the prosecution, refrained from COMMENT
upon the disagreement when it was re-
corded. and quickly departed, from the
court room.
Five ballots were taken, three of these
shortly after the jury retired. Upon the
first vote the jury stood eight for acqult-
tai and four for conviction. Two OF the
four Joined the majority on the second
nounced his determination to remain out
a month IL necessary.
Judge Lawlor announced that he had
ascertained before coming to the court
that the Jury appeared to be hopelessly
divided After ordering the discharges OF
the jury, Judge Lawlor drew his chair 70
the edge of the platform nearest the jury
box and addressed to the twelve men
some informal remarks, criticising the
laws and usages that made possible the
expense of three months in the empan-
neling of a jury and thanking thems up
on their worth as citizens. He declared
the courts were utterly helpless to pre-
vent such occurrences and recommenoeo
the people to change the laws that gov
ernmed court procedure
The attorneys will be expected to fix
date for another trial on the same indict-
ment at tomorrow's session of court.
CALHOUN'S STATEMENT.
II am ready to try this case again. ana
1 will go ahead tomorrow, If necessary
said Mr.. Heney, an hour after adjourn-
ment.
Mr.. Calhoun said tonoght:
''Of course, 1 am disappointed at the
failure of the jury to acquit me or the
unjust charges against me. should have
liked my vindication by the jury to have
been absolute.
The judge was hostile, the assistant
district attorney bribed and the admins
tration of the criminal law of this state
disgraced. 1 propose at the proper time
and in the proper manner to submit for
NAL charges against Assistant District
Attorney Heney for receiving brides as a
public officer, and against rudolph
SpreckeIs and James o. Phelan, who fl
nanced the prosecution, for having paid
