AMATEUR SURGERY

Albuquerque. N. M, Nov. S.-State
Health officer b. Ruppe this morning
decided to investigate the case Of Ce-
lestino Otero, who is held in the
county jail on the charge of using a
knife on one Monico Garcia To the
police the case is a simple one of
stabbing if Garcia should succumb to
his injuries. Major Ruppe, however,
in his capacity of inspector for the
state board of health, has had expert
ence with Otero who has persisted
in practicing medicine without the re-
quired license. According to Mr.
Ruppe, Otero has wandered up arti
down the earth separating people
from their money on the pretense
that he could cure them Of any all
ment from tuberculosis to whooping
cough, and the health officer thinks il
is just possible that in carving W
Garcia, cdr" 0tero may have beer
attempting to practice surgery. A
all events, the case Is considered
worthy Of Investigation. Otero is
now under charges in the district
court upon information filed by Dis
trict Attorney Vigil for practicing
medicine without a license.

Greatly Desired Lady.

1t would appear, from bits Of the so
cial gossip Of her day, that Miss Bur
dett-Coutts' nearest approach to an oc

moirs of Napoleon III" that the name
Of the prince of Adventures" was
connected with hers; that she refused
the duke Of Wellington, and score o.
lesser gentlemen.
For years the great heiress was the
most glittering matrimonial prize il

tourist trade, the market, as 1t we're
where the high Alps secure their
knickerbockered climbers, and the up
land resorts their round-coIlared Eng
lish curates and their capped and green
hated German families. It is town
which goes on in continual turmoil
of transient visitors. The station is a
confusion of trains and the lovely blue
lake a mere crowded pathway for the
white steamers which are forever en-
barking or disembarking invading
armies. 1t is amazingly easy to plan
to visit Lucerne, but it is almost un-
necessary somehow you always find
yourself there. And it is not worth
while to plan not to come somehow
you always find it pleasant to be there,
in Cosmopolis.
To some visitors Cosmopolis, as one
sees it on the Schweizerhof Of Quai,
may seem to be too preponderantly
German to deserve its name. But it is
only fair to Lucerns to remember
that in Switzerland, which lies at least
adjacent, and in the town itself, which
is even closer at hand, is domiciled a
very considerable German-speaking
and indigenous population Abstract
the Swiss, and nowhere, it is probable,
do the nations Of the world meet in
such equal-and such large numbers.

new SENATOR. Is HURRIED
INTO SEAT AND WORK GOES ON

Into the senate this morning, came
James Frank Woods, of the first sem
atorial district, elected successor of
the late Senator George G. Hewitt,
carrying his credentials of election
with him. A few minutes after he
crossed the threshold of the. senate
chamber, he was given the seat made
vacant by the death of Senator Hew-
lit. There was a little ceremony OF
welcome and a rustling around to
supply the new soIon with the bills
before the body, and then the law
makers reIapsed into the work of the
day.
Though the work was resumed a
few minutes after the credentials
committee had reported and Senator
Woods had been escorted to his seat,
the coming of the new member was
not forgotten, nor was the powerful
position he holds, on at least one bill,
overlooked. For a deadlock having
been reached yesterday Oh the reap
portionment bill, the votes being sew
en- to seven, Senator Woods now
holds the balance of power on this
measure and its passage or defeat
rests with him.
And had not the motion of Senator
Makekau prevailed to defer action on
the bill until this afternoon, the new
solon would have been called upon to
settle an issue which produced the
hottest fight of the session yesterday.
Whether he will go with the Oahu
delegation, as the latter says he will,
is question he has not yet solved, 80
he said this morning As the bill has
Democratic color, the Oahu Demo
Gratis asserted this morning that he
was their man.
Senator Woods already likes his job,
though perhaps the settling OF there
apportionment issue is a trifle too Sc
we're an initiation. He worked through
the last half of the morning session
like one to the manner born, and he
left the senate a few minutes before
noon, smiling and confident.
e. Soon after the senate convened ct
10 o'clock, Senator Coke announced
the arrival of the new ;awmaker. and
upon the formers motion President
Knudsen appointed a credentials com
mittee, composed Of Senators Judd,

SEVEN CHILDREN
ADOPTED BY
one WOMAN

Adopting at ono time seven little
children, ranging in age from thirteen
years to three, well-to-do Hawaiian
lady, in the juvenile court this after
noon, set a record for generosity and
benevolence which it is difficult to
surpass. The juvenile court officers
were almost stampeded when seven
boys and girls, all children Of, the
same father and mother. were brought
to the court room by authorities from
Palama Settlement. The children are
orphans, both father and mother hay-
ing died, and it was for the purpose
of seeking some good home that they
came to Judge Whitney.
While his honor was pondering the
problem a well-to-do lady entered the
courtroom and explained that she was
willing and able to care for all seven.
She had known the mother of the
children, she explained, and the
mother had asked her on her death.
bed not to let the little band become
separated Thefore, the lady, ex-
planned, she would gladly take them
all into her home. Judge Whitney,
after asking a very few questions,
turned the seven children over to the
lady and both the little folk and their
new mother seemed happy over the
transfer. .#a
