STARVING SUFFRAGIST
PHOEBE COUSINS, WHO HAS
FOUGHT AGAINST ENFRAN-
CHISEMENT OF HER SEX,
STARVING,

st. Louis, Mo-, May 16.-Miss
Phoebe w. Cousins a generation ago
recognized throughout the United
States as the leader of her sex
against woman suffrage and prohi-
bition, is stranded at the Terminal
Hotel with scarcely enough money
to buy her luncheons. For the last
few days she has subsisted mostly
on bread and water.
Miss Cousins has been at the ho-
tel for more than three weeks and
was forced to-day to appeal to
friends to lend her enough money
to buy ticket back to Washington.
She is more than 60 years old and
an invalid. She formerly was Unit
ed States marshal at st. Louis and
has degree of bachelor of law from
Washington University.
She came to st. Louis in an
endeavor to collect an annuity set
tied upon her for life in 1908, but
recently it has not been paid. Miss
Cousins has appealed to Multimil-
lionaire Adolphus Busch to aid her
in bringing about a settlement, but
Mr.. Busch has not been able to re-
ceive visitors at his home. Miss
Cousins declared she expected to
return to Washington as soon as she
could arrange to pay her hotel bill
On her arrival in Washington, she
said, she would begin legal proceed
ings to collect the annuity fixed al
$3.50 a month.

knowing that the slightest move or
mistake meant death. The opera
ton took nearly an hour. The back
portions of the two vertebrae were
removed, laying the sheath of the
cord bare and relieving the pres
sure. Then the incisions were clos
ed, The parts of the bone removed
were replaced with a kind of gristle
which grew perfectly, protecting the
cord.
For days after the operation Dur
yea felt nothing, but finally nervous
sensations began to return and in
creased in force. His breathing i'm
proved and his digestion became
stronger. Then he began to take
solid food, and after a time he was
placed in a reclining chair and
wheeled about the hospital.
The angle at which he lay was
gradually increased until within a
few months he was able to sit up
right. According to the physicians
who examined him later, full muscu-
lar power was not restored, but the
patient was able to move around
with ease.

Lived IL Years With a
Broken Neck

After living twelve years with a
broken neck Walter Duryea, son of
the late Edgar e. Duryea, the starch
manufacturer, died last week at his
home, 165 Lorraine Avenue, Upper
Montclair, n. j. His case was one
OF the marvels of science. An oper-
alton was performed on his spinal
cord. Parts of the fifth and sixth
vertebrae of the neck which had
been wrenched out of place were cut
away, and, although the patient was
said to be beyond recovery and was
given up, he regained almost COM
plete bodily power.
He broke his neck on Aug. Z, 1859,
while swimming at Oyster Bay. He
was an athlete and a member of the
Seventh Regiment of this city. He
was swimming with James Durand
of Glen Cove, L. l., and the acci-
dent was caused by his slipping from
the steps which led to the water at
the old Oyster Bay Casino. He struck
the sandy bottom of the bay with his
shoulder and his neck was twisted.
His companion dragged him out and
he was carried to hotel and later
to his home at Glen Cove. From
there he was removed to Roosevelt
Hospital, New York.
All sensations of the body were
cut off and he could feel nothing
below the neck, yet he was in full
possession of his senses. A month
later DR.. Able of the hospital staff,
assisted by Drs. Robert f. Weir and
Arthur l.. Fisk, surgeons, and Drs.
Pierce Bailey and Edward d. Fisher,
neurologists, performed the opera
tion. Duryea was too weak to take
ether, so he went under the knife

GRAND FINALE
Over $50 Bills to Keep
Legislature Busy
LIVELY TIMES EXPECTED DUR
ING CLOSING WEEK BEFORE
ADJOURNMENT ON MAY 23.

Three big bills, the public service
commission, school code and main
highway measure, and over $50 ap-
preparation bills will hold the atten-
ton of the members of the Legisla-
ture during this week and the three
first mentioned bills will cause more
debate than all the others put to-
gether. House leaders are expecting
lively times this week, which will
bring the House very close to the
final adjournment on May 23, just a
week from Thursday.
The appropriation bills will likely
be made special orders on third
reading Tuesday and Wednesday.
The public service bill is on third
reading for Monday night and the
chief speaker will be its sponsor,
George E. Alter, of Allegheny. Mr.
Alter knows the bill about as thor
oughly as any one on the Hill and
will strongly urge it's passage. Sew
eral members are talking of oppos-
ing it but have not yet announced
their intention to speak.
Governor Is Firm.
Governor Tener is just as firm for
the passage of the bill as the day
when it was presented. He has not
abandoned his position in regard to
the measure and will urge its pas
sage. After it passes the House next
week lively times may be expected
about the Senate. State officials on
the Hill are predicting that the bill
will be passed.
The school code may be defeated
in the House if the provisions for
mandatory medical inspection are
not modified. 1t is believed that
there are enough members in the
House who want code to pass the
bill despite recommendation ad-
verse to the clause for second class
districts to retain present organiza-
ton if they see fit, but not enough
to pass it unless the medical inspec-
tion provision is changed. Some
trouble may be caused over the
school book sections.
Considerable opposition to the
Sproul main highway bill is crop
ping up over the numerous road
routes, but it is not thought that its
opponents, who fear that many OF
the roads will never be built, can
muster sufficient strength to defeat
the bill.
The Capitol Park extension bill
will likely be reported out of COM
mittee this week The administra-
tion proposes to make a fight for
the bill to regulate private banks
and it will likely be brought up in
the Senate banking committee.
House bills which are not off the
Hiuse calendar by the end of the
week will be dead. The House
will devote it's attention mainly to
Senate bills and the last three days
May %, 23 and "a will be given to
Senate bills and conference reports
The committees will report on bills
during the coming week with the
exception of the numerous company
of measures which will never see the
light of day.

StandardIOiI Co. Must Dissolve

Washington, May 15.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day ordered the dissolution of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey. In connection with this decree
it also handed down its interpreta-
ton of the Sherman antitrust law,
long awaited by an anxious business
world.
In this, the first of its big decisions
in the antitrust cases, the court
holds that the Standard Oil Company
is a conspiracy in restraint of trade
and a monopoly in contravention of
the Sherman antitrust law. Thus
after a fight of many years, in which
every obstacle known to the legal
profession has been interposed, the

ing to appear in unique costume.
When seen at her home in Bryn

she had not taken her husband into

TIGHTS IN PH|LLY
Worn By Lovely Mrs.
Willie Carter
IN A BIG HOTEL. HONEST, AMT
SOME WOMEN H-SILLY?

The harem is a shrinking violet
of a costume compared to that
worn by Mrs. Willie Carter, the
famous golden-haired Philadelphia
beauty, on an evening recently in
the corridors of the Bellevue-Strat-
ford Hotel in Philadelphia. The
wealthy young matron, who is well
known in New York, Newport and
London society, herself appeared
wholly nonchalant and uncon-
scious of the surprise, sensation, to
say nothing of CONSERVATION that
she was causing in her stroll around
the thickly carpeted lanes of the
hotel, and she seemed equally una
ware that word was passed outside
so that men and youths pressed in
from the street to have a look for
themselves at the lady wearing
tights"
Tights, obviously, Mrs. Carter was
wearing. They were of glossy silk
and they were green-a vivid ii
tempered green. She was accom-
panied by a woman friend during
her rambles in the hotel corridors.
When she alighted from her motor
car and entered the big, brilliantly
lighted lobby nothing unusual was
noted regarding her costume.
Her Cloak Flung Back.
She wore a chic Partisan hat and
