HETTY GREEN AND
CARDINAL AT TEA

NEW YORK, May 22.-Nrs Hetty
Green, a Protestant. was the guest OF
honor yesterday afternoon In the home
of Miss Annie Leary, a papal countess,
At the reception which followed tea in
the embowered salon Mrs. Green was
seated on the right hand of Cardinal
Farley.
Mrs. Green walked with Cardinal Far
ley from the reception room to the music
parlor, where four artists from the Met
ropolitan sang in Italian, and then by
special request of the Countess Leary
gave the Last Rose of Summer In En-
glish. Mrs. Green, who usually has been
pictured as elderly and sharp-yisaged In
rusty black and guiltless of any sort of
adornment, was clad yesterday afternoon
In a White satin modish skirt, with tunic
effect, of black satin en- train, and cloudy
white chiffon around the shoulders.
To the amazement of the guests she
wore a pendant Of diamonds, each stone
the size of a pea, and set In Roman gold.
A rope of precious stoses-amethysts,
pearls and rubies-was attached to her
lorgnette. Hell black hat was surmounted
by long, waving black plumes.
No one familiar with Hetty Green in
the days when she clipped coupons In
her private office in the Chemical Bank,
or kept In seclusion in her forty-dollar-a-
month fiat in Hoboken, would have rec.
ognized the same woman In the be-
diamonded figure who kept up an ami
mated conversation with the prelate.
Her whole manner was at variance with
the generally accepted view of her per-
sonality. She. smiling, chatted with the
guests who came to pay their respects
to the hostess.

ha wing robbed the home of J. 7. Morgan,
jr., some time ago. In addition to the
property found yesterday there is a
quantity of jewelry awaiting claimants
at the West 125th street station.
The finding of the. loot was accom-
panied by great excitement In Harlem.
Thousands of persons tiocked to the
banks doors when Curtis was taken there
by Police Captain Tunney and several
detectives, and the reserves had to be
called out TO hold them In check.
Curtis, young and well dressed, was
smiling cynically as he was led into the
bank handcuffed to a warden from the
Harlem prison.
The police didn't suspect tina a small
sized Eldorado awaited them down in the
vaults. They a obtained from a
woman companion of Curtis the key to
the box, N then, during the morning
had gotten court permission to open 1t.
Captain Tunney opened the box. In it
were six packages, consisting of Jewelry
and gold pieces.
The first package opened contained
forty pieces of gold.
In the second there were a diamond
crescent pin, containing twenty-one
stones; an emerald ring set with six dia-
monds; a lavalliere pendant containing

PUMPS HER DEAD
HEART; SHE LIVES

Massage After Woman
Ceases to Breathe.

SCHENECTADY, n. Y, May 22.-Miss
Anna Loebivlstein apparently has been
brought from death to life through in
ternal massage which set her heart to
pumping again after 1t had ceased to
beat. She owes her life TO DIR. Charles
G. McMullin, who look a last chance

She was suffering from gallstones and
was taken to Ellis Hospital for an oper-

oxide oxygen and ether, because her
heart was none too strong. To perform
the operation 1t vas necessary to make
a long incision through the muscular
wall of her abdomen.

operation was ended; DIR. MeMullin was
sewing up the abdominal incis,on when
her heart stopped beating. She was
pulseless: her respiration ceased. All
the ordinary signs disappeared.
She had succumbed, 1t is declared, to
the shock of the operation.
Instantly DR.. McMullin cut the stitches
he had made in the incision and reach
ing up through it gently, seized Miss
Loebivistein's heart. R~hythmically he
compressed the heart, then relaxed his
hold. The pressure forced the blood
into the arteries, and when he loosed
his hold. the blood filled the heart Just
as a boy fills and empties with water a
rubber ball with a hole in 1t.
One minute. two minutes passed, DR..
McMullin's assistants and h nurses
stood GREATNESS, then the heart. which
Is only a bundle of muscles, responded
to DR.. McMullin's excitation OF it. 1t
futtered gently, slowly. and slowly 1t
took on it's normal action. A flush tinted
Miss Loebivistein's chalky face; with a
long sigh she began to breath, and she
lived again. She Is practically out of
