RATHER GIRL WOULD
DIE THAN LOSE LEG
Mother of Injured Child Refuses
to Permit Operation Which
Would Save Life.

NEWARK, n. j.. March 14.-'T had
rather my daughter should die than see
her go through life with one leg. 1t is
criminal to allow a girl to live with
one leg. i won't let them operate"
With this ultimatum from Mrs.
Thomas Reilly holding them back from
amputating the injured leg of little Eliz-
abeth Reilly, ten years old. who was
run down by a trolley car, the surgeons
of the City Hospital here are in a
dilemma today. Under the law they
cannot perform the operation unless the
parents consent and the child's condi-
ton is such that her death can only
be averted, it is feared, by the opera
ton.
In their quandry, the surgeons are
intending to appeal to the corporation
counsel for instructions as to how far
they may go to save the childs life in
the face of the mothers refusal to
permit them TO operate. Mrs. Reilly
so far has remained obdurate against
all the arguments surgeons could ad-
vance.
"A girl is better dead" she said.
than going through life with one leg.
What chance of happiness has a one
legged girl 4 man might be able to
make a living: but a girl, why no man
would marry her. and her whole life
would be miserable
The need of amputation the surgeons
say is not due to the extent of the
injury to the limb so much as to the
signs of blood poisoning already ap-
parent.

'District Democrats Hold Secret
Meeting Without IndorsiEg
Men for Nomination.

After a secret meeting lasting more
than three hours, the District of Column
bia auxiliary of the Democratic ma
tional Congressional committee ad-
journed without indorsing candidates
for-the District Commissionerships.
Whether or not the auxiliary will in
dorse any candidates as Commissioners
is a question, which. according to men,
bers of the auxiliary, will have to re-
'ceiye continued argument.
Two of the most active candidates
Capt. James +. Oyster and William
Nick. Clayton. were present at the
meeting. Many of the members Of the
auxiliary committee have pledged theil
individual support to certain candidates
according to an authoritative statement
Should the committee, as whole. in
dorse other candidates, some embarrass.
nent might result as the pledges made
by individual members of the COM
mittee would have to be broken.
Much pressure, ii was learned from
several members of the committee, IL
being brought to bear on the Presiden,
by group of leading members OF the
District bar in behalf Of J. sHoldswortt
Gordon, prominent Georgetown citizen
and former president Of the schoo
board. Mr. Gordon is a Democrat. and
is held in high esteem by. the leading
Democrats of the city.
1t is declared that such men as
Thomas Nelson Page, and a score CT
Democratic Senators. have signified
their intention to support Mr.. Gordon
for one Of the commissionerships.
Within a few days, one of the members
of the committee said, a number OF
members of the bar. headed by Thomas
Nelson Page. will visit the White House
in Mr. Gordons behalf 1t is said that
many Democrats divided over other
candidates have decided on Mr.. Gordon
as compromise candidate
1t was also admitted last night that
the committee had discussed the ques.
ton of Federal patronage in the Dis
trict, although II was denied with en-
phasis that the names of! any Demo
Gratis had been mentioned in connection
with any District position.

That still small voice was vastly more power fui than the cyclone, the earthquake and the thunderstorm combined; for that was Gods specific word to him.
