London. Aug. 14.-Grafting of new
limbs on humans to replace those lost

future. according to declaration made
at the closing session of the interna-
tional medical congress. DR.. A.. L..
Soresi, of New York, made the declar-
alton just before returning to his
home 1t was one of the startling
declarations of what has proved to be
the most successful meeting ever held
by the association.
Within month after my arrival In
New York said DR.. Soresi. Il expect
to be able to prove by actual demon
stration that 1t is possible to graft
new limbs on human being to replace
those lost.
Il have not attempted to graft a
limb on any human being for the rea-
son that my experimental work was
only just satisfactorily concluded be-
fore leaving for London, but mme-
diately upon my return l shall start
preparations for the first human test

Both are New Workers. One is we'll
known and wealthy. while the other is
in humble circumstances.
Both my patients need an arm, and
obtaining suitable arms is not easy
have not yet determined exactly how
long life remains in an arm after
death. OF course. you understand that
| the arm must come from some person
| who has just met a sudden death
either by accident or electrocution. hi

where human beings are concerned is
not so. simple, except in cases of elec-

qualified from resuming the duties OF
executive until the court of impeach-
ment fails to sustain these charges.
Governor Sulzer. according to a
close friend, already has drafted. with
the advice of his counsel a letter en-
bodying reasons for refusing to turn
over his office to Lieutenant Governor
Glynn, in anticipation of such a de-
mand Immediately following official
reception of the articles of impeach-
ment by the senate. The senate was

Or w. r. Dabney Of Marietta Unbalanced for Months Per

Patent-Ades Overpower Him.

Marietta. Ohio. Aug. 14.--With the
commitment to Longview asylum in
Cincinnati today of DIR. William r..
Dabney, there has come to light one
of the most remarkable chapters in
medical history.
Not until the crazcd surgeon had un-
dertaken to perform viviscction ON a
patient was 1t was realized by the at
tendants in the operating room that
madness was directing the arm and
scalpel as it sought to uncover vital
organs.
DR.. Dabney entered practice in Ma
rietta about Is years ago. He made a
speciality Of eye, ear and throat opera
tipns.
For several months previous to his
mental collapse and the startling reve-
lation of his condition, rarely a day
passed that he did not perform two OF
three different operations.
Climax of His Career.
1t was the death on the operating
table OF an aged and wealthy farmer
Jacob r. Schaad. that brought DR.
Dabneys career to climax. Schaad
had a humorous growth on his upper
jaw. He consulted DIR. Dabney and
was assured that a minor operation
would remove the disfigurement

two surgeons detected that there was
something wrong and both began to
demonstrate DR. Dabney became an
CRY and ordered them from the oper-
ating room.
Dissects Face of Patient.
When the two doctors had left, ac-
cording to the story of the nurse who
had remained trembling beside the un-
conscious patient, DR. Dabney began
to dsscct the face and throat of the
unconscious man. Both sides of the
face We're laid open and deep ncisons
We're made in the throat. But the
skill Of the mad surgeon was shown in
tho lcxtcrity with which he avoided
inflictng a fatal wound on his living
subject
How far the crazcd surgeon would
have proceeded with the dissection can
not be told, for the horrfied nurse ran
shrieking from the room. Her cries
brought DIS Ballard and Pcnrose with
several of the hospital attendants to
the rescue, and DR. Dabncy by this
time a raving maniac. biantlishing his
scalpel over the unconscious subject
