to a sudden end yesterday when the
Judge instru cted a verdict for the
plaintiff and took the case out of the

DUCK SEASON CLOSES
WITH MIDNIGHT BELL
Time Distinction Drawn In Appeal
Case by Judge Lewis, Who
Holds for Defendant.


The closed season for duck shooting
in Utah does not begin until midnight,
January L, according to a decision by
Judge T. ID. Lewis yesterday Sam
Smith of Bingham, who was convict
ed last year of shooting ducks out of
season, won his appeal to the district
court before Judge T. ID. Lewis, who
dismissed the case after a few min
tues elaboration over the complaint.
which was made out by Joseph J. Will
liams of Bingham. This complaint
charged that Smith had the ducks in
his possession between December 81
and October 81, 1909" although the
prosecution knew the date of the Of
tense, which is said to have been
within the closed season. Z. A. Rog-
ers, attorney for Smith, contended
that the wording of the complaint was
such that the offense might have been
committed after October 81, but the
case was dismissed by Judge Lewis on
the ground that the defendant might
have had the ducks in his possession
on January 1. 1903, and, according to
the law, as interpreted, this is legal,
inasmuch as the statute says between
January and October 81.

Surgery on Heart

Surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less of a commonplace In medical history.
Something approxiniating 100 cases of the sewing
up OF heart wounds are on record, and the recov-
cries have been considerable when one considers
the highly dangerous character of such work. Hith-
erto, however. heart surgery has been limited to &C
cident cases. ala
In a recent issue of the annals Of surgery one of
the workers at the Rockefeller p institute for
medical research discusses the possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
experiments on animals and believes
that such operations will be successfully performed
on human beings in the near future. His tests
have convinced him that the heart can be opened,
scraped out Cleaned, so to speak), sewed up and
started off on its beating" path again without any
great, at least insuperable, difficulty. By an in
genious system Of side piping and new channeling
he Is able temporarily to cut out Of the circulation
portions of such important vessels as the descend.
ing aorta the largest artery in the body, without
killing the animal. Among his suggested opera
tons is one On the CoTonaTy arteries OF the heart
for the cure of angina pectoris.
This doctor has apparently proved to his own sat
1sfactlon on animals that successful surgical inter.
ference with the great vessels and the heart itself
is a possibility. 1t is, of course. a long step from
these experiments to actual operations on human
feat will be attempted in the near future. The in
tractability of cardiac affections and their high ia
tally make the proposed new surgery a thing Of
great general interest, and may justify the extreme
holiness of the proposal.

Expert to Head the Economy Bureau

The central stan, Of which mfr.
Cleveland is to be the. chief, will be
composed of four men in addition to
the chief. It's function will be to keep
the president Informed as to condl-
tons in the several departments. It
might properly be called a bureau Of
inspection. The economy and EN-
cheney commissions to be organized
in each department will undertake to
ascertain II. greater efficiency a be
obtained without increasing the cost
Of the service.
1t is explained at the White House
that tho general movement does not
contemplate the dismissal OF govern
ment clerks, but the gaining of great
er efficiency. The president has come
t. believe that the departments work
ut cross purposes in some instances
and that 1t is frequently the case that
in a particular department money is
wasted because the service is not or
ganized or centered as 1t should be.
One of the first reforms contem-
plated has to do with the making of
the appropriations bills by congress
on estimates submitted by the several
cabinet officers. 1t is the hope and
expectation that Mr.. Cleveland and
his staff will be able to prepare a new
form of estimates that will appeal to
the appropriation committees Of con
gress. The executive department., Of
course, has nothing to do with the
making of appropriation bills, but II
is responsible for the estimates OF
which the. bills are based. r

Frederick A. Cleveland, director of
the bureau Of municipal research in

ment was also made that each of the
cabinet officers will organize in his
department a committee or commits
sion to be known as an economy and

These steps were taken under the
law passed at the last session Of con-
gress directing the president to con-
duct an investigation into the busi-
ness methods Of the several executive
departments, and giving him 500. 900
with which to carry forward b in

proved by the president until he had

business men and had received writ
