LIME USED TO SAVE
MERCURY VICTIMS
New Treatment Likely to Result
in Recovery of Many
Patients.

Surgeons at Lebanon Hospital were
engaged for three hours last night in
an operation which. II 1t saves the life
Of Mrs. Leah Fortel. will mark the be-
ginning Of a surgical treatment which
will diminish the terrors of bichlonde
poisoning. The capsules of both the
woman's kidneys were taken out. thor
oughly flushed with lime water and re-
placed. She survived the ordeal and
the physicians have high hopes Of her
recovery.
The case is doubly remarkable. FOR
Mrs. Fortel had taken the largest dose
in the history Of bichloride poisoning.
She complained Of headache yester-
day afternoon, and her thirteen-year-
old daughter went 10 the bathroom and
prepared a solution OF tablets accord
ing to directions. Mrs. Fortel drank
the solution. which contained iifty
grains Of bichloride OF mercury.
The fearful p ms which seized her at
once warned Mrs. Fortel OF the fatal
mistake. Physicians took her from her
home at No. 1890 Southern Boulevard
to the Lebanon Hospital and set about
preparing for the operation, OF which
DR.. Shamaskin, the chief surgeon, had
charge. The capsules Of the kidneys
were severed, tubes fitted in their
places and the limewater solution
pumped in.
Mrs. airy Teboldt, Of No. 1858 Sec
ond avenue, was taken TO the Recep-
tional Hospital yesterday afternoon
suffering from bichloride poisoning and
then transferred to Bellevue, where she
is held a prisoner on a charge OF at
tempted suicide Her recovery Is
doubtful, but the same heroic meas
ures will be employed as in the case Of
Mrs. Fortel.
Surgeons at Fordham Hospital said
that Mrs. Mary Browning. OF No. 1917
Barnes avenue, The Bronx. has good
chances of recovery. She swallowed
thirty grains OF the poison, but no time
was lost in using the lime solution, and
her condition was much improved last
night. According to the surgeons. the
lime transforms the bichloride into
mrcurlc oxide and calcium chloride.
Neither of these is poisonous. and the
chemical change instantly arrests the
action OF the original poison. AS soon
as the bichloride has been resolved into
the component chemicals it is removed
from the system through natural chan
nels without doing any harm.

Evening Gown Barred to Wom-
an; Jury Appraises Injury.

Miss Edith Ferguson, formerly
chorus girl and now engaged in the
millinery business, was compensated in
the CITY Court yesterday to the extent
OF $3.50 for a scar that she bears on her
shoulder, the result Of an accident In a
Fifth avenue stage while she was a
passenger.
She sued the Fifth Avenue Coach
Company for $1,000, complaining that

ond one, the jury failing to agree in the
first trial.

Great Britain Heeds Com
plant and Sends Only
One Warship.

But Mexicans Think He May
Yet Be Induced to Quit
the Presidency.

Mexico City, Nov. 21.-That British
cruiser squadron was ordered from
Barbados to Vera Cruz on representa-
tions made by Sir Lionel Garden be-
came known here to-day. 1t was also
learned that a counter order was made.
as the result OF an energetic communi-
cation from Secretary Bryan to the
British Ambassador in Washington.
Sir Lionel Garden is said TO have
conditions were becoming so bad that
fresh uprisings would be no surprise,
and In the event that they occurred he
doubted the ability Of the American
marines at Vera Cruz, even II so dis,
posed, to afford proper protection. He
then suggested sending a squadron, II
is said.
Secretary Bryan. according to dis
patches received here, learned the news
from press reports. and gave the Brit
ish Ambassador to understand that the
United States would regard the pres
ence of a British squadron in Mexican
waters as undesirable, and as result
the order was changed TO provide Tor
one boat to proceed to Tampico or
some other gulf port.
Huerta May Yet Go.
Most Of the evidence at hand con-
tinues to indicate that Victoriano
Huerta is unalterably determined not
TO accede to the demands Of the United
states government for his elimination
as President of Mexico, but there Is
some basis for the belief that he may
at last give in, but in such manner
as to leave the impression that he acted
of his own free will, defying Washing

The highhanded parliamentary prac-
tice in the Chamber Of Deputies this
afternoon gave rise TO considerable
speculation. The roll Of members was
ct.led, and II was evident that the
number necessary for a quorum was
present, but Colonel Victor Corral, pre-
siding in the absence Of Speaker Edu-
ardo Tamariz, who was said to be Ill.
looked the Deputies straight in the
eyes and declared there was no quorum.
Not Deputy protested. and the Cham
Der stood adjourned until tomorrow.
Suggested Secret Motive.
1t was suggested that this action
might be part of plan TO bring about
: the death OF Congress and thus split
hairs with the Washington govern
ment, which had insisted that this new
legislative body should not come into
existence. Under the law should there
be no quorum three times in succession
the House would be automatically dis
solved.
II became known to-day that Manuel
Cara Aldape, prior 10 his expulsion
from the Cabinet, submitted for the
consideration Of the United States a
proposition signed by President Huerta
that Congress should meet merely for
the transaction Of three or four meas
ures, namely. ratification of the decree
Of October II, dissolving Congress: de-
claring the elections OF President and
ice-President null and calling for
new elections, and. because there might
arise the question as to the legality OF
the new Chamber and Senate, calling
an election for Deputies and Senator's.

The Tribune has received from Dean

in tho archipelago:
IF the commercial possibilities Of
any region are to attract capital, it

to develop it, fairly good means Of

reasonably healthful climate. and a
government which makes life and
property safe.
AT the present time the Philippines
fulfil all OF these requirements.
They constitute a country with vast
natural resources. They have soil OF
unsurpassed richness, abundant and
we'll distributed rainfall. and a tenn
perature free from extremes OF heat
and cold. They monopolize the grow

Release Opera Seats
Pledged for 100000.
REBATE FOR THOSE
WHO PAID TWICE
Criminal Action Postponed on
News That Settlement Had
Been Effected.

All the $4,000 worth of Metropolitan
opera season tickets which were tied
up when Tyson & Co. pledged
them with the Metropolitan Trust
Company as security for a 100000
loan will be turned over to the sub
scribers this morning at the office of
the ticket agent. No. 1122 Broadway.
In addition. those Of the subscribers
who paid almost double for their tick
cts to the trust company last week
rather than have any possibility that
their long standing subscription priv
ileges would be lost by a resale" Of
their property, will be reimbursed for
their expenditures. In some cases this
premium" amounted to more than
S4OO apiece.
The settlement Of the devious tangle
which involved the Wall street insti7
tuition. the ticket agency and the Net
ropolitan Opera Company. came
shortly after the criminal proceedings
against Tyson & Co.. on the charge Of
grand larceny were adjourned TO
Monday in order that the agreement
might be reached without further
complications.
In approving the adjournment, be-
fore Magistrate Deuel., Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Train had stated that
the trust company might properly be

Search Warrant Possible.
Whether or not" said Mr.. Train,

dent Of the trust company knew that

company received as collateral had
been paid for, a search warrant could

longing to those subscribers who have
paid for their tickets, and 10 bring
them into court.
mo practical purpose would be ac-
complished by asking for such war
rant, however, or by bringing the
tickets into court, since the Court OF
Appeals has held that no disposition OF
such property can be made upon
criminal process where there Is con-
troversy between the person from
whom il is claimed that the property
was stolen and the person from whom
the possession OF the property was
taken by the search warrant"
Nothing could be learned last night
in regard to the manner in which the
trust company and the agency had set
tied their difficulty. II was said. how
ever, that the banking institution had
agreed 10 an extension Of the loan
against all the proceeds OF the ticket
business done by Tyson & Co 1t was
also reported that some one Interested
in protecting the Metropolitan Opera
Company from any imputation that the
agency was acting as its agent had
guaranteed the loan to the ticket COM

News Of the settlement came in the
following announcement from the
METROPOLITAN Trust Company:
"Mr. Beverly Chew, second vice-pres-

TO ask her father when the young man
was leaving town. Yet she did not al
low herself to do this. but with a hasty
glance at her watch, hurried of to
school
Six o'clock that evening, as she sat
in her room studying the maid tapped
at her door.
IF you please, Miss Mary" she an
nounced, there's a gentleman on the
telephone asking for you"
Very we'll" was the hasty response.
Mary knew at once by intuition who
the speaker at the other end Of the wire
would be. She was not mistaken. It
was Gordon Craig. and he wanted to
know If he might not run up this even
ing just-"to tell you all goodbye as
he said.
Il am leaving tomorrow noon for
Massachusetts" he informed her, "and
would like to see you before I go"
Again, as when he had asked her to
accompany him to the theater, Mary
felt her determination wavering, but,
remembering her former weakness, she
! brought all her will power to bear upon
her reply.
Il am sorry. Mr.. Craig" she said
but l must ask you to excuse me to-
night l am very tired, for l have been
working hard. As l told you the other
evening, I have no time this week for
recreation"
Her words sounded cold and abrupt
she thought. She did not appreciate
that her voice trembled slightly and that
it held a wistful note that made It very
sweet and not altogether depressing to
the listener. Perhaps this fact gave him
courage to say appealingly:
Are you sure you could not spare me
just two minutes? 1 would not detain
you long"
