BACK FROM PERlL0US TRIP
Eleven Survivors of Wreck OF
80.Ton Boat Off Cuba Arrive.

Captain John Chambers OF the eighty
ton steamboat Commodore, which Is now
mass of wreckage off the Cuban coast
arrived hare Yesterday from Matanzss on
the Munson liner Olinda, accompanied by
ten OF the eleven men he had with MN
when he took the Commodore out OF this
mort on November 8. The missing MEM
her Of the crew, Gottlieb Sherwood, was
either drowned or eaten by sharks while
the shipwrecked sailormen were trying to
make shore from the water-logged Com
modOre.
The little craft was sold for transporta-
ton work in the harbor OF Manzanlilo
She got down TO the Cuban coast without
mishap, until November Is. when stin
northeast gale hit her about seven miles
northeast of Nuevitas. Within half
hour the Commodore was filled with
water Captain Chambers and his eleven
men got away safely in their two life
boats, but within an hour both were cap
sized Every man chung on, and by direc-
ton Of the skipper righted the boats
again. The cook chung 10 the bow OF his
boat after it was righted, but just as
captain CndHlDeIS NdS hOout W HoN' i'ii'i
in he let go his hold and sank.
A row of three hours brought the life
boats to the island Of Guajava, which Is
inhabited only by fisherman and his
wife. For four days the couple had the
sailormen from the Commodore for
neighbors and treated them we'll.
on the fourth day Malachi Connolly, the
Commodore's quartermaster. signalled a
schooner. which put about and came in
shore. Bidding farewell to the lone couple
on the island OF GuaJava the sailors
rowed out TO the schooner and were
landed at -MatanZas. Captain Chambers
is willing TO take the same sort Of a craft
again over the same course in the same
season, as that is his business. The crew
expressed a willingness to go out with
him if he needs them.

NO NEW MILK INQUIRY
District Attorney Has Not Acted
on Price Advance.

A statement that the so-called MIX
trust. seven members OF which were IN
dicted in 1910. was about to advance the
price of milk in this city was called 10
the attention of District Attorney WHIT
man yesterday. The District Attorney
said there were pending seven indictments
against directors Of the Consolidated
Milk Exchange and that the seven men
were still liable TO be called 10 trial. MT
Whitman said there had been no lnVesu-
cation of any new charges.
There are two reasons why the direc-
tors of the Consolidated Milk Exchange
have not been brought to trial. one Is
that the District Attorney has been wait
ing for the decision in the appeal taken
bv the thirteen members OF the live poul-
try trust. as the same questions raised IN
the poultry trust case would undoubtedly
arise In the trial OF the milk cases. Inc
second reason is that while the cases
against the Milk Exchange directors are
considered strong. the exchange itself mas
long been dissolved and the same condl-
tons do not now obtain.

DIAMONDS ARE PLENTIFUL
Phenomenal Shipments of Pre-
CiouS Stones Reported.
S41,OOO,OO0 1912 TOTAL
High Cost of Living Seemingly
of No Effect in Stemming
Sparkling Tide.

Neither the high cost OF living, about
which so much has been said during the
year nor the continued increases in the
price Of gems has had any effect upon
the demand OF the American public for
diamonds. pearls and other precious
stones. The November shipments of gems
to this port amounted to g, il5.529. accord
ing to the figures just compiled by Will
fam Il. Treadwell, tewelry examiner at the
Appraisers Stores. or this amount the
cut gems. mostly diamonds and pearls.
totalled S.543.l4. while the uncut gems
are valued at yS72,3s5. These figures swell
the total value of gems received here thus
far this year to more than S3S. 600 and
Maiden Lane importers predictSd yester-
day that the December shipments would
make a grand total OF about SAL 100000.
Ninety-six per cent OF the gems brought
to this country are entered at New York.
These figures are regarded as phenom-
email BY the gem trade, in view OF the
fact that the necessities OF life have been
unusually high. In 1903 only Sl2,S62 S96
worth Oh gems were WIS Ppi u
while in no previous year, with the OK
ception Of 1906, has the total ever reached
81, 10000 In 1906. which was the great
est gem year on record the imports
reached $t3 ,513.iSS Last year the imports
10 this city were valued at S40.676,25S
During the year the best month for the
Importation of gems was July. when the
total receipts reached S5,57,ll6. In every
other month, with the exceptions of Feb
ruary and March, more than S.OooOOO
worth OF diamonds, pearls and other
precious stones were recorded at the APP
praisers Stores. During October the
gems were valued at S3.s9S,545, and in Sep
TENDER at s3.S0,3s6. June was the next
biggest month. with a total of $3.50. 49l.
The month of September, October and
November have been among the best OF
the year for the receipts OF gems, de-
spite the fact that prices have been con-
stantly advancing During that period fine
diamonds have increased in price about
Is per cent, and pearls have gone still
higher The large imports for the year
are accounted for in part by the big de-
mand for pearl necklaces and fine pearls
which are most fashionable just now

Remarkable Feat Performed IN

Natural Growth of Mem
Der, Physician Be-
lieves.

AuSonia Conn, Dec. 5.-The recon-
struction of a boys shattered arm with
"a piece OF bone from the hind leg OF
rabbit was the novel surgical feat accom-
rlished yesterday in the Griffin Memorial
Hospital here by DR.. Ralph Il. Maciar-
land. of No. IS Clinton avenue. Jamaica
Long Island. assisted by DR.. Potato Oh
Derby. Conn. Four local surgeons were
interested spectators. So far as the sur
geons could tell the operation was
complete success, and they expect the
transplanted rabbit bone to grow the
same as the remainder OF he arm do
the youngster becomes older.
The boy upon whom the operation was
performed, as the result Of an accloehtai
gunshot wound. is Ralph Tomhnsoh' the
twelve-year-old son of Mr.. ana MIS-
James Tomlinson. of oxford, Conn., hea'
here. On November % he was eXperl-
menting with his fathers double oarreheu
shotgun. which he did not know was
loaded. AS he walked along with the gun
he tripped and fell. the trigger was SUI
in some way, and both barrels were us
charged.
one charge Of shot entered the DO!
left forearm. 1t lacerated the nesh sc
verelv But did not damage the bone Inc
other charge, however, struck the upper
mart of the same arm and not only 'oie
away more than half the nesh anu iiuS
cles. but carried away one and one-haii
inches of the humerus. or the large Oo"0
in the upper arm. The arm was pracucaI-
ly amputated, except for some sur

A Temporary operation was perIornleu
upon the boy at once. the bone oeine
wired TO hold it in place as much do
possible. This was only maReshh',
however. Dr. mcfarland was sumnoheu
from Jamaica, and he decided upon a
bone-grafting operation. TO perform II
he had the boy removed to the hosplta'
Drs Macfarland and Potato selected
large rabbit. and, while the young pa'leh'
was being anesthetized in the operating
room. they killed the animal in an adJoiii-
ing room and quickly cut OF hlhu 'e,
Hurriedly scraping off the FUR nesh anu
muscles. they cut off three-lnch p'e'e
Of the bone. This bone, natWaii|' vas
mailer than the boys humerus, anu

f~om the ends on; Of which the inch ana
a-balf piece had been shot the surgeons
inserted the rabbit bone, projecting three
,,uarters of an inch Of II into the mario"
in the ends OF the severed bone.
This held the piece of rabbit leg hrmiy

bored in the stumps of the humerus'
through the rabbit bone and all was
