IL wouldn't stand for such a move

PARIS. Feb IA remarkable trag-
edy was narrowly averted in one OF
the Paris hospitals when Pataud, the
famous Socialist, shut off the electric
lights in several sections OF the city
In order TO demonstrate his power in
the industrial world. A wealthy Paris
ian was undergoing an operation for
appendicitis. In the middle of the
operation an attendant gave the sur
geon a message which had been re-
celved by telephone, stating that the
electric light would be cut off in ten
minutes. Fortunately the surgeons
motor car was at the door, and the
powerful acetylene lamps with which
II was equipped were carried into the
operating theater just before the cleo
trio light failed. Had the telephone
message not been received the patient
would probably have died during the
time il would have taken TO procure
other illumination OF the operating
room.

at the Mitchellville school, over which
he had general supervision, and OF law
violations in connection with the sale
Of diseased livestock from the state

figured prominently In the last suber-
