Moral Reform Through Surgery.

When. two years ago, Frederick Nor
ris, lad living in Yonkers, N. Y. fell
from fire escape and severely hurt his
head, his entire nature changed. In
stead of being an excellent pupil in
school, he played truant and worried his
teachers by his bad conduct. He began
TO steal and was twice taken into Police
Court. Convinced that the boy was not
altogether to blame, his father consulted
a surgeon. The latter discovered a
depression in the skull above the right
ear. An operation upon the brain fol-
lowed, and now the boy is his former
self.
This IS by no means the FIRST in
stance where surgery has been able to
accomplish moral reform. In fact il

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY,
BY A. w. MACY,
A CITY CONQUERED BY
HUNGER.

There are few sieges in history
more memorable than that of the
little city of La Rochelle, France.
Here the Huguenots made their
last important stand. There were
$4,000 Inhabitants, half OF them
females, and only half the males
armed men. Yet for fifteen
months they held in check the
combined army and fleet of Louis
XIII. When they chose Jean Gui-
ton mayor at the beginning of
the siege. he said to them: You
know not what you do in choos-
ing me. Understand me well,
that with me there is no talk of
surrender. Whoever breathes a
word of it / will kill him." The
city was reduced, not by sudden
assault, or fire, or sword, or can
non, but by slow famine. Every
thing was eaten, even down to
leather, which was boiled. A cat
sold for AZ livres. Not until half
the population had perished from
hunger, and scarcely $50 of the
garrison remained alive. did the
survivors consent 20 surrender.

HARMON Is HIT
BY HIGH COURT
Supreme Tribunal Adverse
to Ohio Governor.
VESSEL OWNERS ARE UPHELD
Justice LurtOn Hands Down OpIu-
Ion I'm Opposition to View Adj
for Toledo Terminal Company.
Other Supreme Court Decisions.

In an opinion handed down yesterday
by Justice Lurton, the United States Su-
preme Court decided that the statute fix
ing the Limitation of liability of vessel
owners. which was passed June 1S 1884,
amending the act of 1851, applied to torts
as well as contractual obligations. The
case arose in 1906 in the vicinity of
Toledo. Ohio. when the barge Crete, a
merchant vessel in tow. while proceeding
up the MaUmee River, ran into a draw
bridge owned by the Toledo Terminal
and Railway Company, of which Judson
Harmon, now governor of Ohio, was re-
Ceiver. The damage to the bridge was
about $4,000. and the vessel was sunk.
Suit was brought against two of the YES
sci owners in the Ohio State court. The
owners filed a petition in the United
States District Court for the Northern
district of Ohio, asking for the applica-
ton of the statutory limitation of liabil-
ity under the Federal statute.
They set up that they were not privy
to the accident and without fault, and
that the aggregate Of the damages eN-
ceeded the value of the owners interest
in the vessel. The court ordered all
creditors to appear and directed an ap-
praisal of the vessel.
JudsOn Harmon Objects.
Judson Harmon, as receiver for the
Toledo Terminal Company. objected to
the Jurisdiction Of the Federal court. con-
tending that the Federal statute of 1884
did not include liabilities for tOrts, but
simply for the COntraCtual obligations.
The lower court accepted his view and
dismissed the petition. The vessel own
ers appealed. and the Supreme Court yes
terday reversed and remanded the cause.
1t is the unanimous opinion Of the
court that the act applies to all forms
of liability and the debates in Congress
at the time the law was passed contrib
uted to show the intent of the law
makers.
Appeal In sugar Case.
Motions were submitted in the Supreme
Court yesterday to advance the case of
the United States. the Interstate Com
merce Commission. and the Federal Su
gar Refining Company, appellants,
against the Baltimore and Ohio. the Cen

carriers. The case is an appeal from
the judgment OF the Commerce Court
granting a preliminary injunction against

desist from certain alleged preferences
in the way of an allowance for Tightening
