FINGER NAIL IN NOSE
Surgeons Fail to Mend Mans
Defective PrObOSciS.
CLAW SPROUTS OUT ON END
After Being Operated on in New
Orleans, j. d. Norris Comes North
and Ia Now Affected with Claw on
His Prominent Facial Feature,
Which VIII he Rebuilt.

There was a man in Washington yes
terday with a finger nail growing from
the end OF his nose His name is ]. b.
Norris, and he halls from New Orleans.
Some months ago he had the greater
part Of his nose cut away. and the
surgeons endeavored TO mend the defect
by grating his little finger into the gap.
After several months the root OF the
nail, which the surgeons had failed to
remove. began 10 sprout. and now the pa
tent is afflicted with a claw on the end
OF his proboscis.
Nose to BE Rebuilt.
He left lasl night FOR New Orleans.
where he will re-enter the Torro In
firmary to have the surgeons rebuild HIS
nose with their planes, saws, and chisels.
Norris was operated on last summer for
disease OF the face. The surgeons
worked hard and tried TO keep from cut
ting OF his nose or any other part OF his
face. but ii was found that TO save his
life the operation was necessary. The
surgeons promised Norris that they
would give him a nose pretty nearly as
good.
On this promise he submitted TO the
knife. and when he got OF the operating
table he found that his little finger had
been taken or his right hand and had
taken the place OF the flesh and bone that
had been cut of.
He spent a month In the hospital until
HIS wound healed After this he went 10
New York. where he spent several months
enjoying his grated nose.
In a few weeks the end became sore
and started swelling. He applied differ
ent saves and lotions until the rising
was brought 70 a head and burst.
GristIe Grows Ont.
II was then discovered that a gristle
was growing in his nose. New York
surgeons made an examination. and aft
er a consultation agreed that it was
the finger nail sprouting.
! Il do not know what they are going
to do with me after I get back down
there" said Mr.. Norris. II guess they
will take another Of my fingers and
make me another nose"
Mr. Norris spent yesterday evening al
the Pythian picnic at Marshall Han. and
left last night for New Orleans, where
he will let the doctors work on his prom
inent facial feature.

SOUTH GROWING FAST
Census Figures Reveal Big
Increases in Population.
TEXAS WILL HAVE 100000
Lone star state Entitled TO seven
Additional Representatives If the
Present Ratio of Gain Is Maintain
ed-sectiOnaI Fight May Follow IL
Larger Delegations Are Sought.

The amazing growth in the South and
Southwest already Is becoming the sensa-
ton OF the 1910 census.
The figures for Nueces County in Texas,
issued yesterday. complete the returns for
hfty-one counties in that State. The coun-
ties show a population Of sl7.l75 in 1915. as
compared with 552.sO6 in 1900 a gain of %
per cent.
This percentage maintained throughout
Texas will mean gain Of 1,4OS.sOs people
in the State. OF a total population OF al
most 100000.
For Nueees County the Census Bureau
reported a population of 1855 in 1910. as
against lO,4S4 ten years ago, an increase
Of 10 per cent.
Knox County showed a 500 per cent adj
vance. and Tom Green County close to 400
per cent.
Other states show Gains.
Returns from other States are scatter
ing. Without exception, the figures from
Oklahoma and from the odd South
Louisiana, Mississippi. Tennessee, Georgia,
and Alabama-record startling increases.
On the present basis OF representation
in Congress, a rlember TO every $4,000 of
the country's population. the returns from
only forty-one counties entitle Texas to
another member OF the House. If the
ratio OF increase is maintained, Texas
will get seven additional members, and
have a delegation consisting Of twenty
three.
The scattering figures from other parts
Of the South and Southwest, most notably
Oklahoma. presage a Ike advance In
political power and importance.
For this reason, talk of renewing the
Northern demand for limiting Southern
representation Is becoming general The
Northern Republicans are practically
sure TO make another effort TO pass a
force bill, under which representation
would be based upon the vote cast in
stead OF upon the census returns.
A bitter sectional fight is sure 10 fol-
