.RESTORES.L|F
To DEAD GIRL
Doctor Messages Heart OF
Young Woman Killed by
Operation.

SCHENECTADY. N T., May 24-In
all truth it can be said that Miss Anna
Loebenstein came back out of the val
ley of the shadow of death. She owes
her life to Dr. Charles G. McMullin,
who set her heart to pumping again
after It had ceased to beat.
Miss Loebenstein's sister in care of
DR. Louis P. Faust, of this city, was
suffering recently from gallstones It
was necessary to operate on her. and
she was taken to the Ellis hospital
here.
Dr. McMuuin anesthetized her with
nitro oxide oxygen and ether, because
her heart was not too strong To per
form the operation it was necessary to
make long incision through the mus
cular wall of her abdomen.
The gallstones were removed, the
operation was ended; DIR. McMulliu
was sewing up the abdominal incision
when Miss Loebenstein's heart stopped
beating. She was pulseless; her res
piration ceased. All the ordinary signs
of life disappeared.
She had succumbed, it is declared.
to the shock Of the operation
Instantly Dr. McMullin cut the
stitches he had made in the incision
and reaching UP through it gently
seized Miss Loebenstein's heart Ryth
mically he compressed the heart. then
relaxed his hold. The pressure forced
the blood into the arteries. When he
loosened his hold the blood filed the
heart just as boy fills and empties
with water rubber ball with hole
in it.
One minute two minutes passed. Dr.
McMullin's assistants and the nurses
stood GREATNESS; then the heart, which
is only a bundle of muscles, responded
to Or MeMullins excitation Of it. II
futtered gently, slowly; very slowly 1t
took on its normal action. flush
tinted Miss Loebenstein's chalky face
with a long sigh she began to breathe
she lived again. She Is practically out
of danger today.

BROCkETr AGAIN APPOINTED
Governor Names Delegation to Meet
Regents at Mount Vernon
May 18th.

Governor Mann officially announced
yesterday the names of the men who
will make the annual pilgrimage of
inspection to Mount Vernon in behalf
of the state Of Virginia on May 10Th.
there to meet the regents of the Mt.
Vernon Association and pass upon the
condition of Washington's old home.
The list is as follows:
St. George Fitzhugh, of Fredericks-
burg; Judge L. l.. Lewis, of Richmond
A. d. Brockett, of Alexandria; Thos.
B. McAdams and Warren P. Taylor.
of Richmond. These five men, offici-
ally known as the board of visitors of
Mount Vernon, act as a sort of adj
visory board to the Mount Vernon AS
sociatiOn in the management of the
Mount Vernon estate. There is but
one visit paid by the board each year
and that during the month of May.
A new board Of visitors is appointed
by the governor every year.
IN view of the :eccp: sensational
charges made against the Mount Yer
non Association by Washingtonian
before committee Of the last legis-
lature, unusual interest is attached,
this year to the visit of the obard.
It is hardly expected, however, that
official recognition will be paid by the
regents and the board to the charges
made. although there is certain to be
a large amount Of informal discussion
of the affair.
At the time the charges created a
seven-days' sensation. but the legis
lature failed to uphold any of the al
legations. While an entirely separate
organization, the Mount Vernon Asso-
citation is composed of women from
the daughters of the Revolution and
kindred historical societies, and all
were more or less embroiled in the
trouble.

THE STRIKE IN CHICAGO

Chicago, May S.-The five unions
now ON strike against Chicago news
papers today arc pinning their hope
of winning the strike to favorable
action by the typographical union,
which meets this afternoon to vote
on whether its members shall contln-
ue to work with non-union pressmen,
stereotypers, mechanics, wagon driV-
ers and newsboys working on the
same papers. The mailers today are
awaiting action by the printers be-
fore determining what action they
will take with regard to walking out
in sympathy with the men already on
strike.
The streets were more quiet to-
day than at any time since the strike
began. Ses olafot9a. .icmfwypcmfwyp
began. Sales Of the papers against
which the strike is being directed
were increased, and the afternoon pa
pers promised to publish and distrlb-
ute their regular editions. Policemen
are still on guard about all down town
newsstands, which have been seized
by the police and publishers and
turned over to non-union boys.
Policeman Jennings was compelled
to fire three times in the direction of
crowd of rioters last evening when
strike sympathizer poured kerosene
on to pile of papers on a South
Side stand, and touched a match to
the pile. A large crowd of strike
sympathizers and newspaper employ
ees began a battle royal, and Jen-
nings attempted to scatter them un-
aided His warning shots were not
availing and he sent in riot calls.
Considerable clubbing scattered the
mob Rotten eggs became effective
weapons in the street battles.
The stationing of policemen at a
newsboys' meeting aroused the strike
leaders, and today they sent invita-
tions to Mayor Harrison and Chef
McWeeney, urging them and every
member of the police force to attend
all their meetings.
A large number of arrests have
been made. Few of the cases have
been disposed of, frequent continuance

Vile restaurant proprietor, swore that
on the day of the courtroom murders,
Friel Allen and Wesley Edwards hur-
riedly left a meal they had started
to eat at his place, upon hearing the

room when she was shot. He thought
the girl was merely frightened. She
left the court room unassisted, but

RICHESON rs MORMON

Washington, D. c., May S.-Senat-
or Smoot of Utah, in answer to an
inquiry concerning a report from Bos-
ton alleging connection of the convict
ed murderer, the Rev. Clarence V.
T. Richeson, with the Mormon church,
said today:
"The statement of Mrs. Louise E
Britain that Clarence V. 7. Richie
son is an elder in the Mormon church
is malicious falsehood. Richeson
is not and never has been an elder
or even a member Of the Mormon
church. | am informed that Mrs.
Britain was communicated from
the church few years ago. A desire
to injure and cast reflections upon
the Mormon church is undoubtedly
her reason for making the state
ment."
