NEW York; furious dispute
over the question of precedence, en-
gagged in by physicians while wo-
man patient was lying unconscious
with an operation half completed, is
declared to have preceded the resig-
nations yesterday of DIR. Paul Fleri
and DR.. Reginald Van Vert from the
house staff of st. Mary's Hospital,
Jamaica.
The woman, according to one OF
the visiting staff, was operated on
by an outside surgeon, who had his
own assistant with him. The assist
ant helped to administer an anaes-
thetic and was giving adequate aid
to the surgeon when an inferno in
terfered.

the surgeon as first assistant opera
tor, as / am house surgeon" DR..
Fleri is reported to have said, after
vital organs of the patient were laid
bare
This started an argument, which
hindered the operation, until several
house physicians interfered.
DR.. E. w. Shipman. one of the
visiting staff, declared the operating
room incident was responsible for the
resigning of Drs. Fleri and Van Vert

SAN FRANCISCAN new treat
ment for typhoid fever, based on the
injection of a serum drawn from ty-
phoid convalescents, was announced
here today by DIR. George R. Carson
of the Southern Pacific Hospital at
the annual convention of the Pacific
coast railway surgeons.
Now that prophylactic vaccination
against typhoid has been proved sue
cessful,' said DR.. Carson, next must
follow some curative agent, vaccine,
serum or chemical combination,
which shall rob typhoid of its terrors.

old of it's discovery and that we shall
soon be able to abort typhoid"
Typical typhoid cannot be produced
among animals, DR. Carson explained
hence his recourse to the blood OF
convalescents who had acquired i'm

A UNIQUE CELEBRATION.
An OId-HOme Week for Drink-Cure
Colony in New Jersey.

Colony in New Jersey.
The strangest "Old Home Week"
ever held in the United States was
celebrated at Keswick, n. j., this
week, when hundreds of reformed
drunkards returned to the village in
the pine belt of that state to give tes-
timony to the change a sojourn in
this famous inebriate colony had eff
fected in their lives.
Keswick was established by Will
liam Raws as a haven for men in
every walk of life who wished to be
relieved of the craving for strong
drink. The village is entirely COM
posed of men who are there to get
the best of their appetites. They are
employed in various enterprises that
have been established to make the
place as nearly self-supporting as
possible, although it's maintenance is
largely from the contributions OF
those who know OF the good work
carried out there Statistics show
that half of those who seek KeswicB
as a refuge from the dangers an6
temptations of the world permanent
ly reform. Many of the inhabitants
1 have been highly respected before
they fell victims to the drink habi
and some have been clergymen.

WORRILL WAS ROUGH ON EN-
WENT AFTER GAMBLERS AND
TIGERS IN LIVELY MANNER.
After a Two Weeks Session of Early
Court Adjourned to Meet Again
First Monday in january.


Judge Worrill adjourned Early SUI
perior court after a two weeks ses-
sion until the first Monday in Janu-
airy, when the wheels of justice will
again turn in that county. The Ft.
Gaines Georgian says of the work OF
the recent session:
The second week was given up
entirely to criminal business and
though the court pushed matters
in rapid-fire order the docket could
not be cleared in one week. The
grand jury during the session consid-
cred more than $50 cases, and out
of this number returned 104 true
bills and 33 no bills. Only one muir
der case was among the number, this
being a negro, who was convicted,
and got a life sentence.
Many gamblers were up for SEN
tence ana the judge gave this class
of offenders six months or $50; but
one young white man who pleaded
guilty late Saturday afternoon got
his nerves Jared by a fine of $3.50.
The judge told him that he had learn
ed he was a professional gambler,
and he would deal with him as a
professional"
Another young white man who had
been conducting a fiourishing blind
tiger pleaded guilty. He received a
12 months sentence in the gang,
from the last eight months of which
he can pay out with $3.50.

long time to come. But admitting
that it should become possible to ap-
ply the so per cent assessment uni
formly that would mean, under
Judge Harris theory, total returns of
about $4,000, 100000, upon which a
tax of two mills would give the state
$7,000,000, whereas it now collects
only some 100000 on the five
mills rate.
Legislative Expenses More.
The chief difficulty in getting up
taxes is that the people generally
know that as long as there is money
in sight or any way of getting it the
legislature will spend it and they fear
that even if the returns were three
times what they are now the tax
of five mills would stick just the
same.
While some counties are inclined
to cavil at the new law and threaten
to make it an issue in coming politi-
cal campaigns it is gratifying to
know, as Judge Hart states, that it is
becoming more popular in many sec
lions of the state and that the peo-
pie are disposed to give it a fair
trial.
There is no question as to the ne
cessity for tax reform in Georgia.
There is no question as to the states
need for more money. The quest
ton is as to how far the people are
going to submit to what they at least
believe will result in an increased
taxation in practice, no matter how
much theorizing there may be over
reduced tax rates as an incident of
increased returns.

New Fashion From VIENNA Is Seen
at a Paris Theatre
A Paris cable to the New York
Times says that a strong attempt is
being made in VIENNA, where the sea-
son is at its hight, to introduce a
"decollete" fashion for men. Shirts
of silk are worn, with soft roll col
lar. A "V'-shaped opening is left in
front, showing about three inches of
the neck
The new mode was first seen in
Paris at theatre. Two young men
appeared in the stalls wearing the
open-neck shirt with evening dress
They were not wei received.
Cries of protest were heard, but
the young men stayed obstinately un
til the end of the performance.

STATEMENT IS A SURPRISE
HART SAYS TAX RETURNS ONLY
TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT.
State Tax Commissioner Declares In
creased Assessments Would Bring
Into Treasury $6,OOO,OOO.

|
ATLANTA.-No recent develop
ment in state affairs has produced
more widespread surprise and COM
ment than the statement OF Judge
John C. Hart, Georgia's tax COM
missioner, that not more than one
seventh of Georgia's property is re-
turned for taxation.
Every one has long since come to
believe that less than half of the
property in the state is returned.
Property in Georgia is supposed to
be returned on a basis of about 6O
per cent of value This is not the
law, it is true, as that requires re-
turn of market value; but it has
come to be tacitly accepted as the
| basis for taxation.
Then everyone also is aware that
many persons do not return any
thing like all their personal proper
ity, their notes and accounts; and al
so it is a matter of more or less
common knowledge that farm lands
in many instances are way below
the 60 per cent basis.
Take it all in all, those who gen
orally give thought to such matters
had struck a general average and
considered that 25 to 80 per cent of
the property of the state was actual
ly returned, or little more than one
fourth and little less than one
third.
Statement Startling.
But the statement of Judge Hart
discounts the popular theory by more
than so per cent. If it is correct that
only one-seventh of the property in
the state is returned then Georgia's
total wealth today is approximately
So O0,OOO,0OO On the other hand,
the federal census bureau gives Geor-
gia credit for total wealth of only
about one-third that amount, or
about two and one-half times the
amount of the tax returns. Possibly,
however, the government bases its
estimate on theoretical return of 40
Der cent of the actual value for tax
alton.
If Judge Hart is correct-and
there is no specific evidence on which
to question his Standardization
tax of one mill, or one-ffth of the
present state tax rate, applied to all
the property in Georgia returned at
its actual market value would pro-
duce $6,OOO,OOO of revenue for the
state. which is vastly more than it
now receives at the five mills rate.
While there is no doubt that a
great deal can be accomplished in the
direction of tax reform with the as
sistance of the legislature it is going
to be practically impossible to get all
of Georgia's property on the tax
books at actual market value, or
even at the so per cent valuation, for
