TWICE CAESAR|AN
METHOD IS USED
DOCTORS PERFORM OPERATION
ON WOMAN SECOND TINE IN
THIRTEEN MONTHS.

MONTCLAIR, n. j., Dec. 10
Twice within thirteen months has the
Caesarian operation been performed
on Mrs. Patrick Geoghegan. Surgeons
are deeply interested in her case.
1t is not often necessary to perform
these delicate and dangerous opera
tons. Extremely rarely has II been
done twice on the same woman, and
within period so brief.
Mrs. Geoghean's baby. who was
brought into the world by the first
Caesarian operation. lived only few
minutes. But the second baby is a
fine boy. He weiged six and a half
pounds when he first saw the light
and is gaining weight at the rate
of half pound week.
Mrs. Geoghegan Is fine looking
young woman, strong and healthy.
About fourteen months ago her ply
stefan sent her to St. Mary's hospital.
Orange, where the Caesarian opera
ticn was performed. AS has been
told the baby did not survive long
Tho mother recovered quickly.
Mrs. Geoghegan was ordered to the
hospital again about a month ago for
the second operation. She has re-
covered and returned to her home
ANY doctor will tell you that the
Caesarian operation Is so called be-
cause Julius Caesar was brought into
being by 1t. And the well informed
doctor will add:
That story has been handed down
through the centuries, but 1t is doubt
full"

condition, and the authorities are try
ing to solve one OF the most baffiing
shooting mysteries OF recent years
No arrests have been made and so
far the police have been unable to
persuade Mumm to prefer charges
against the woman who shot him.
Every member of the Mumm fam
lily has apparently been sworn to alb
solute silence.
The police are said to have be-
come acquainted with some phases of
The case, but they have no clue to
indicate the identity OF the woman
Friends OF the Mumms. who are
also loath to discuss the affair. limited
TO-DAY that. the woman Is prominent
In the American colony here, and the
mention Of her name In connection
WITH the case would cause a great
sensation.

and penetrated one lung. causing a

BY divided court, the temporary In

road from the New York Central was
confirmed
The transaction was first contested
o year ago before the Upstate Pub
lie Service commission by a commit
tee Of minority stockholders of the
Rutland represented by Samuel I'm
termyer. Mr.. Untermyer developed
evidence from President Mellen and
the other persons connected with the
ceal which showed that the New
York Central ard the New Haven
made trade of railroads whereby
the Central got control Of the New
York, Ontario and Western from the
New Haven. In return for which the
New faven was given control of the
Rutland by taking over the majority
stock m that concern, which had been
accumu'ated by the New York Cen
trail. Aare ident Mellen at that time
admitted that his chief aim was to
keep the Ontario and Western out
Of the hands OF The Grand Trunk.

URGES INCREASE
FOR JAMES RIVER
SECRETARY DUNLOP HAS HEAR.
ING BEFORE RIVERS AND
H1ARBORs COMMITTEE.

Secretary r. A. Dunlop, OF the
Chamber of Commerce. returned late
last night from Washington, d. c..
where yesterday he appeared before
the house rivers and harbors commit
tee to present Richmonds claims for
larger appropriation for the James
river Improvement work.
II was the ambition of the cham
Der to send a large body OF repre-
sentative business men to the capital
to urge upon the committee the ne
cessity Of increasing the estimate OF
$4,000 allowed for the maintenance
of the work In the James. II being
realized that this sum Is adequate for
the purpose. but the hasty summons
from Congressman Lamb only did
not give time to get the delegation to-
gether and Secretary Dunlop went
alone. hoping that he could induce the
committee to set another day for the
hearing when a large delegation from
this city could present the matter.
The committee. however. was OBJ
durate. and Secretary Dunlop teie-
graphed during the day that he had
not succeeded in this object.
He is thoroughly familiar, however.
with the work and the chambers
plans and expressed himself last night
AZ greatly encouraged over the inter-
est displayed by members Of the COM
mittee. OF which Congressman Spark
man is chairman. In the arguments he
put before the body in advocacy OF q
larger appropriation. Mr.. Dunlop
urged an appropriation OF 100000
for the work on the James, which II
recognized as among the most import
anti undertakings in the governments

As the rivers and harbors appro-
priation bill Is one of the first to be
put through congress each session.
the committee Is rushing work on 1t

UTAH NO PRODUCER
OF QUICKSILVER NOW

There was no production of quicksilver
In Arizona, Oregon, Utah or Washington
In 1911, In Nevada at the Ruby. NeYa-
-Almadcn. and Shoshone mines dcvcl-
opmenr work only was done, but the
Mercury Mining company completed thc
erection Of a n5-ton Scott furnace OH its
claims near lone and produced quicksil-
Yer toward tho close OF the year. In
Texas some prospecting was done on the
Maria and Maripoaa and other claims.
Tho ChiSos mine was actively developed
and continued important production The
total output from Nevada and Texas
combined In 1911 WAS 2690 nasts, valued
nj Sl23I6I: against a combined output
of S3a0 Casks. valued at 1851. .G69, In 1910
Exports OF quicksilver from the United
States in l9ll arc estimated from the
records of the bureau of statistics OF The
department OF commerce and labor. AT
2",iO0 pounds, valued AT $1i. 900. In 1910
the exports were 1887 pounds, valued
AT S91 .077. This notable decrease In eX-
ports and the equally notable increase
In imports were due chiefly TO the lack
OF domestic supplies for consUnintiou and
the consequent temporary rise In price,
According to the figures Of the bureau
Of statistics the imports for the first six
months of 1911 were 26l,1i pounds, val
ucd at $50. 800. Although II is not eX-
pccied that the final figures will show
equal rate OF importation for tho re-
mainder OF the year, the total imports
for 1911 may be estimated at 100000
