The child's clothing had taken fire
while she was playing about gas
stove, and the flesh on her face was
scared to such an extent that when the
wound healed only a small hole was
left where the mouth had been. So
small was the opening that the little
finger could be inserted with difficulty.
Nothing was left of the chin but the
bone and a covering Of SCARED flesh.
The child's mother offered all the
skin necessary for grating, but the
surgeon decided on another plan.
A large Zap Of flesh was cut from the
childs abdomen, one side being left at
tached to the body. Then a slit was
made in the arm Of the patient suff1-
ciently large to allow the insertion Of
the raised end Of the flesh Of the abdo-
men. This was done to establish circu-
lation in the abdominal flesh.
After weeks that part Of the flesh
attached to the abdomen was cut and
the child's arm with the flap Of flesh
growing to 1t was raised and the part
that formerly had been Joined to the
abdomen was Joined to the lips and
chin from which the scared flesh had
been cut. For weeks blood flowed
from the child's arm into the bridge Of
flesh from the abdomen and then into
the chin and lips.
When circulation had been establish

OUTWIT CRACKERS.
Eighteen Southern Gentlemen" Eject
Pythian Leader From Pullman Car.

Local members of the Knights Of
Pythias were shocked to hear a false
report this week that S. w. Green,
of New Orleans, supreme chancellor
of the order, had been killed by a
mob of whites at Milton, Fla, follow
ing his ejectment from drawing
room on a Pullman sleeper while
travelling from Jacksonville to Milton,
Monday night. Their fears were ag-
gravated by the fact that a special
appeared in New York morning pa
per, under a New Orleans date line,
stating that Mr.. Green had been
lynched.
According to a special dispatch re-
ceived by the Afro-American Ledger
Thursday afternoon from New Or
leans, Mr. Green was elected from the
Pullman sleeper, arrested, jailed and
fined $25 for violating the Florida
"jimcrow" car law. The sheriff then
gave him a pair Of overalls and spir-
tied him away from the mob of whites
who were threatening his life.
Spirited From Mob.
The text of the special dispatch
from New Orleans, Thursday follows:
THE report that s. w. Green, su-
preme chancellor of the Knights of
Pythias, was lynched Is untrue. While
occupying the drawing room of
Pullman sleeper, enroute from Jack
sonville to this city Monday night he
was elected by a mob of Is men. Be-
fore they could get hold of him the
sheriff took him in charge and placed
him in jail for safekeeping. The next
morning he was tried for violating
the lin crow" law and fined $25. To
outwit the mob the sheriff disguised
him in overalls and spirited him away
by boat from Milton to Pensacola,
from which place he continued his
journey. He arrived here last night
we'll and suffering no bodily harm
whatever. He was met by numerous
friends and relatives. - Baltimore

in the future for single state by the
disregard Of an international treaty to
endanger the peaceful relations exist
ing between the United States and q
foreign power Representative Richard
Bartholdt, a Republican, Of Missouri,
noted as a peace advocate, introduced
in the house a resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution.
In explanation of his resolution Mr..
BarthoIdt cited the delicate situation in
which this country and Japan find
themselves as result Of the enactment
Of the California alien land law.
Here is the text of the Bartholdt
amendment:
"The congress shall have the exclu-
sive power to legislate on questions af-
fecting the rights and privileges Of cit
izens Of other countries residing in the
United States and the relations Of the
United States with other countries"
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee.
Mr.. Bartholdt in an interview stated
that the weakest point in the constitu.
ton was its failure to give the federal
government power to make treaties
which 1t can promise to carry out. He
said:

A pertinent feature Of the finals Of
this educational institution was the
address Of DR.. q. M. Brawley, one of
the ablest theologians, educators, au-
thors and leaders Of his people. He
emphasized the necessity Of the race
contributing largely to its educational
institutions and stated that the ascend

along the right lines largely depended
upon their ability to mold the lives of
the youth Of the race in such manner
that they would become sane and

to learn If the order for the company's
dissolution cannot be made more effec-
tive. The company's retail cigar stores
are maintained under the first decision.
Sixth.-The Standard Oil company.
The renewed action contemplated
against this company would be based
on the charge that 1t has not complied
with the United States supreme courts
order directing It to dissolve into its
constituent companies. The DEGREES In
this case have all been handed down
and the lower federal court has ap-
proved the dissolution plan presented
by the company. The contempt, which
may be charged, would lie In the al
legged failure by the company officers
to obey strictly the dissolution plan
agreed on.
