DISPLACED HEART is
SHIFTED BY SURGERY
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK Special With his
heart in the right place again, Harry
Bayies, of Bloomfield. N j., left the
Mountainside Hospital, Montclair. yes
terday. The boy, son of Police Ser
geant John II. Baylies, entered the
hospital three weeks ago. The history
OF his case was not clear. The sur
geons found that much fluid had accu-
mulated in the cavity that contains his
left lung; its pressure had pushed his
heart out OF its normal position and
TO the right. so that Harry would have
had to lay his hand over his breast
bone IL he wanted to make love with
appropriate gestures.
The surgeons tapped Harry's left
pieural cavity very much I'm the same
way and with much the same kind of
instrument as a nurse taps a bottle
of champagne to draw off one glass
for the patient. But the surgeons
drew all the liquid from the cavity.
Then Harry's heart, being relieved
from pressure, returned to its proper
position and resumed pumping at the
same old stand. Literally Harry
breathed freer. but that had not sol
much to do with his heart as with hisl
left lung; there was more room for
air In IL after the fluid was removed.
The surgeons advised Harry to keep
as quiet as possible. else the fluid may
accumulate again. But II II does they
will draw 1t off.

TIRED OF WAITING
IN W. VA. DEBT CASE

RIG II MO N d, vA.-Special.-
The Virginia Debt Commission, OF
which John b. Moon, OF Charlottes-
Vile, IL chairman, will meet az the
Jefferson Hotel at noon Wednesday
for the purpose OF discussing the flu
ture action OF this Commonwealth in
connection with ths West Virginia
debt litigation.
Attorney General williams will be
In attendance upon the conferences.
and II Is quite likely that the sugges-
tions made by him will be followed
by the commission.
Knowing ones predict that the time
has come when Virginia's officials
have grown weary of West Virginia's
nonchalant attitude towards the debt
matter, and that the commission will
recommend some measure designed to
call the Mountain State to taw.
II will be recalled that sometime
towards the first part OF this year the
United States Supreme Court decided
that the principal OF the debt owed
by West Virginia to Virginia was 81
$4,000.
Touching the matter OF interest
which, If compounded, would doubt
less amount TO $25,0OO,00O. the court
suggested a conference between the
representatives Of the two States.
Evidently the appellate tribunal
could be adjusted but the Supreme
Court apparently knew little about the
stubborn attitude OF West Virginia
Although the debtor State was duly
notified as to the decision, and what
was expected OF her, she has done
nothing whatsoever to indicate that
she feels any sense Of obligation An
extra session of the Legislature was
held shortly after the decision. but no
notice whatsoever was taken of the
courts decree. The General Assembly
gave its attention to other things and
did not appear even to know that the
decision had been rendered.
And so the situation today is ex-
acuy as il was when the opinion was
handed down, though the irritation of
the Virginia contingent is manifest.
and they think the time has come
when temporizing should cease.
Al hrst the disposition was TO be po-
ntely diplomatic, and TO give West
Virginia time TO think. But apparent
~ she wants 70 think indefinitely: at
any rate, she has not evinced the
slghtest disposition TO pay any part
OF the money-either the principal or
interest.
Under the circumstances 1t becomes
obvious that Virginia will have to go
once more to the United States SUI
Preme Court and ask for further
mandates from that tribunal.
Inc United State Supreme Court will
Deslh Its fall session in October, and
II Is not unlikely that the ATTORNEY
General will then appear before the
judges with a petition asking fur+IoaS
equity in the case.
But as to this Judge Williams will
NOT talk, nor will he say what the
commission is going to do.
VI course, If West Virginia refuses
10 compromise or to suggest apv Man
as TO adjustment of the interest. the
CIIteu states supreme Court must in
eVItaoly pass on the matter

DROPPED IN ON HIS OLD

NEW YORK Special 'TousIed
heaus were thrust from chamber win
dows In Auburndale, a suburb of
tlushing, at 5:15 O'Clock Sunday
morning and mounted policemen tore
Wildly about asking what was the
matter.
The matter Was that .Iaw Benton
city editor of the Boston Transcript:
J: j. Van Valkenburgh, civil en-
gineer, and William Van .SIeet. of
Pittsfeld. had just descended i'm a
balloon into the back yard of Ben
tons old friend, John r. FLYNN. r

mad not seen in thirty yearz. When

currents waited them swiftly south
ware at height OF from 5000 to
1900 feet until, descending aleng tho
Connecticut coast. they say they rec
ognized Fort Totten opposite. Then
they rose again 70 $500 feet Next
they saw what looked like an i'm
mense fire on the horizon. The wind
seemed to be hurrying them onward
toward an apparently limitless body
of water.
When they drew close enough to
the apparent cOnfiagration to distin-
BulSh the gnCfStly outline of the Sin
ger Buildings tower they knew for
the first time that the fire was the
lights of New York and the great
water the Atlantic Ocean.
Deciding that 1t was rather late in
the season for sea bathing and not
rehshing the prospect of impaling
their balloon on a skyscraper, they
dropped into Mr. Flynn's back yard.
1t took them just seven minutes TO
come down. After breakfast the three
shipped their balloon back to Boston
and left by train for the Aero Club of
America, Madison Avenue and Twen-
ty-hrSt Street, Manhattan.
The balloon is called the Spring
field and contains sc. 900 cubic feet
OF gas. When the voyagers started
