DOCTOR BREATHES
NEW LIFE IN LUNGS
OF DEAD" INFANT

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Dr. Harry
Fried. an inferno of Sydenham hospital,
reports the reviving Of a baby born APP
parently dead. The case is called un-
usual because although the baby seem.
ed dead when DR.. Fried got to the home
of Mrs. Sarah Ravepz, he succeeded in
stimulating life after an hours work.
The baby now is reported to be strong
and healthy.
When Dr. Fried got TO the home the
baby's heart was not beating and no air
had been taken into her lungs. DR..
Fried immediately resorted to ordinary
means Of resuscitation
He found those methods would not
avail Finally he tried the scheme Of
breathing into the infants mouth and
thus forcing air into the lungs 1t is
called the method of direct initiation
That Immediately brought results, and
the babys heart began to beat
The signs of life became greater. The
doctor then applied a mild stimulant
After an hours hard work he felt sure
the baby would live. on his second call
to the home he found the baby normal
in every way

Offers PLEAD
FOR HIGH TARIFF
Underwood Indicates That He
Would Favor Retaining the
Present import Duties.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-While W,
E. Wells, of East Liverpool. Ohio was
testifying before the house ways and
means committee today, advocating the
retention of the present protective du-
ties on pottery ware, Chairman I'm
derwood gave a strong intimation to
the witness that he would favor re-
tanning the present duties on that ware.
The duty Is 60 per cent and the intima-
ton came as a surprise to the business
men present. ft
1.-THE competitive principle will gov
ern our revision of the tariff" said I'm
derwood. land I think Mr.. Wells has
proved to the satisfaction of the COM
mittee that his business is being con-
Quoted along highly competitive lines
and would seem TO be entitled to rates
which he asked passed"
Small Profits Made.
Wells said that his industry paid
higher wages, proportionately, than any
other industry in the United States, and
that the books of his pottery concern III
Ohio would show its profits were only
62-S per cent per year on the actual
money invested. He invited the COM
mittee to investigate the entire indus
try to determine the labor conditions in
it and the amount of money invested.
Montague Lesser, of New York, told
the committee, on behalf of the import
ers Of gypsum, that there should be a
reduction In duties on that product.
John Richardson, of Boston, an i'm
porter of china, glass and clay, also
asked for reduction of duties.
Charles P. Storrs, Of Oswego, N. Y, a
manufacturer of mica products, asked
for a reduction of duties on that mate
rial. The present duty is now "a or 80
per cent. and Storrs suggested reduc-
ton to specific rate of cents pound
or 10 per cent ad valorem.
Two thirds of Cost Wages.
William Burgess. Of Trenton, a man
ufacturer of pottery, made a plea for
the protection of American pottery in
terests. He said the industry required
more capital and more labor relatively,
than any other industry, and that Sc 2-S
per cent of the cost OF production was
spent in wages. There had not been 2
strike in 20 years. There was no re-
straint of competition, and the price to
the consumer had been reduced two
thirds, while the quality of the output
was improved. He therefore urged that
the industry receive all the benefits Of
protective duty.

Last season the cotton market talent did

this reason the relationship between sup
