BUT one OBSTACLE REMAINS
Negotiations to End Strike Of Switch
men Are Making Progress.
DIFFERENCES TO BE ARBTTRAzED
Railroads offer to Reinstate All
Strikers within Thirty Days, and
Union Officials Insist II he
Done at Once.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 2i,-Only one obstacle
remains in the way Of a settlement Of the
sw~itchmen's strike in the northwest as the
result of the conference between the rail
road officials and the representatives OF
the railway branch OF the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor in Governor Bberhadt's Of
flee this afternoon. Both sides are agreed
on all questions save as to the time when
all Of the striking switchmen shall be taken
back to work.
Tn railroads offered to lake as many
Of the strikers Immediately as they have
places for and to re-employ the others just
as soon as places can be made vacant. 1t
was suggested that 1t may take thirty days
before all of the men could be put back t.
work, but President F.. +. Hawley Of the
Switchmen's union said he would agree to
nothing short Of the simultaneous employ
men Of all the men.
Governor Eberhadt is trying to obtain a
concession from the railroads on this point
and he announced this evening that the
railroad officials have already taken steps
to reach some agreement.
Today the striking switchmen agreed to
submit the controversy to arbitration and
abide by the decision Of the board now
being organized in Chicago to settle the
dispute between the Chicago lines and their
switchmen. The concessions demanded by
the Twin City and Chicago switchmen are
Identical. The rate OF pay pending the out

Patient Lives
Without Kidney
Remarkable Operation Performed by
Rapid City Surgeon Proves
Successful. ,

RAPID CITY, S. D., Dec. ~24-CSpeclal)
because Of an operation which was per.
formed upon her three weeks ago, Mrs.
George N. Van Nimwiggin will pass the
rest OF her days with the use Of but one
kidney; the other was removed in an
operation for renal calculus. An opera
ton was performed at midnight, Deem
Der II, and revealed that one Of her KID.
neys, which had fallen from its normal
position, was weighted by a kidney stone,
So large was the stone that Dr. f. w.
Minty, the operating surgeon, and his as.
%sistant, DR.. ". e. Robinson, determined
to remove the entire kidney, which was
done, and It was also ascertained that the
other kidney was in It's normal condition.
Today the patient is up and about and will
In a few days leave the hospital a well
woman. The unusual feature Of the case
is the size Of the stone removed from the
affected kidney. 1t weighed a trifle over
five ounces, is eleven inches around It's
longest circumference and nine inches
around the shortest circumference with
many protuberances. The stone resembles
a fair-sized potato and at present is used
by DIR. Minty for a paper weight. An ex-
haustive search in medical works falls to
reveal a case where as large a stone as
this has ever been removed from a pa
tient. DIR. Minty is preparing a paper on
the case for presentation at the next meet
ing of the American Medical society and
eventually will present the stone to the
medical department Of the Northwestern
university. Mrs. Van Nimwiggin is IS
years Of age and has suffered with the
stone for ten years.

Guaranty Law
Declared Bad by
Judge in Kansas
Judge Pollock Of Federal Court Holds
that the Bank Act is
Invalid.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. A.-Judge John c.
Pollock in the United states district court
here today in a decision declared the Kan
sas bank guaranty law to be invalid.
Judge Pollock granted two injunctions
in ruling out the law. one case was that
OF Frank s.. Larabee, a stockholder in the
Exchange state Bank OF Hutchinson,
against the officers and directors of the
bank and J. N. Dolley, state bank com
missioner. His contention was that a
~stockholdeT in a state bank can object
and prevent the participation OF his bank
in guaranty law. Judge Pollock upheld
this arguments in every particular.
The other case was that OF the Abilene
National bank against the bank com
missioner and state treasurer on the
ground that the state guaranty law is
unconstitutional. Judge Pollock granted a
temporary Injunction in this case, holding
the law imperative and fixes a bond Of
$50, 900, to be given by the bank pending
the final disposition Of the case.
