Races From South NorWaIk With Man
 Under AneSthetiC

New York, June 28-Defying all the speed laws of Connecticut and New York the touring car of T. Marshall Andrews of South Norwalk, Conn.,, raced at fifty miles an hour from that place to St. Luke's Hospital in this city shortly after midnight yes- terday morning bearing the unconsci- ous form of Norton B. Leo, young architect and builder, from his sum- mer home to the operating table. The forty-twO miles were covered in scarcely more minutes and by i a. m. the young man was operated upon for appendicitis by Dr. Lyle.
 MT. Leo a son of John P. Leo an architect of No 473 West One Hun dred and Forty third street, fell i'll Monday night. Local physicians diag- nosed the case as appendicitis. The father advised his immediate removal to this city for the operation and the South Norwalk doctors protested that the journey would mean death, but their objections were overruled. The patient was put under the influence of ether and with one of the physi- clans in abundance the unconscious young man was put in MT. Andrews automobile and record run made to New York
 The splendid road at that hour was almost clear of vehicles and to all warnings from constables an explana- tion was shouted that acted as an open sesame. The barriers of the law were lowered for this race with Death. As the young man was still under the influence of the anaesthetic no time was lost on his arrival in be- ginning the operation. It was said at the hospital late last night that the patient was rallying finely. MT. Leo is twentytwo years old. He lives at No. 765 St. Nicholas avenue.

said, you can count on the compile

first OF July, 1918. IL has only been
promised on the first OF January, 1916,
and IL il is not ready until then you
must not say that anybody made a
