ERIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

Miss Alice V. Houghton, pretty
young clerk OF the United States Cen
sus Bureau, in Washington, was
scalped by having her hair caught in
tabulating machine while ut work
in that department OF the government
yesterday afternoon.
When Miss Houghton's trcsses were
cntanglcd IN the machinery, she was
drawn toward the tabulator, and it is
Il wonder she was not pulled into the
machinery and killed. The entire top
OF her scalp was torn off, barring the
bone on top of the head everywhere
above the eyebrows in front, the ears
on the side, and the napc OF the neck
in the rear. She was hastened to the
Emergency Hospital, where her scalp,
which had been disentangIcd from the
tabulating machine, was replaced by
the surgeons in the first operation OF
the kind Which they have ever per
formed.
They removed the hair from The
torn scalp md then scwcd The scalp
back on the head OF the young woman.
More than 200 stitches were necessary
for the operation 1t is doubtful
whether the replaced scalp will grow
as it should, Tut the surgeons. after
Il consultation, decided that it would
be worth taking Il chance II this
operation fails. then they will have to
resort TO skin grating.
Miss Houghton is about IS years
old and is the daughter Of Harry ).
lIoughton, secretary OF the Crawford
Paving Compony.
She was employed in the tabulating
room Of the Census Bureau and the
accident occurred while she was Stoop-
ing over the machine during her work.
Her hair i'll some manner, became en-
taglcd in the machinery. Others 1t
work in the room ran TO her assistance
and caught her just rs her hair was
being torn from her head by the ma
chine.
Miss Houghton did not lose con-
sciousues but she suffered great pain.

The Plarnc In Manrhmrta.

Pekin. China, Feb. 1.--Rcports re.
ccivcd here today from the health OK
pcrs sent to Hardin to investigate the
pulmonary plague now raging there say
that tho situation is serious. Thousands
Of natives arc dying ana efforts to
check The disease have failed. 1t is not
believed that there can be any adequate
move made in stamping out the malady
until the arrival OF warm weather. Re-
ports rs to the number Of fatalities vary
from $50 to 1000 daily. Refugees are
fleeing from the infected district with
the inevitable result that the disease
germs are being spread broadcast
through Manchuria.
The disease is the true pulmonary
plague, according to Dir. A. P. Peck.
the expert in charge OF the precaution-
airy work.
1t is more dangerous and harder TO
treat than the bubonic plague. Rats
play no part in the infection. the prln-
cipal means being cxpcctoration.
The only possible safeguard is mask
ing. Elaborate costumes, such rs are
used by operating surgeons, have been
sent to Hardin for the use OF the doctors,
whites and japanese and Chinese Off
ciaIs. While the experts are combating
the plague in Manchuria, elaborate
precautions are being taken to keep II
from spreading from the north coun-
try. Effective quarantine stations have
been established at KouPang- rze and
Shan-Hai-Kwe and all refugees are
being turned back. An attempt to
stop traffic on the PekinHankow Rail
way started by the consuls at Hankow,
has failed. The diplomatic body here
refused to sanction the scheme on the
ground that there is no epidemic IN
Pckin and that none is likely.

NO EXTRA SESSION.

President Taft is not considering the
question OF calling on extra session Of
Congress. Any statement to the con-
trary, it IS said, is unauthorized by the
president. He hopes that tic proposed
reciprocity treaty between this country
and Canada will be ratified nj the pres
cut session.
In none OF his talks with members Of
Congress has the president said that il
the present Congress failed to ratify
the reciprocity treaty he would call an
extra session. 1t can also be denied,
it is said, that he has sought from the
democrats a promise that they would
continc themselves to Canadian rcci-
procity nj the extra session il he should
issue call for one.
No matter what inference may be
drawn from The questions put to con
gressmcn, it is fact that the president
has confined his attention TO the pres
cnt Congress, and has given no consld-
Grafton to the much-discussed plan for
an extra session.
