Remarkable Vitality of B. San

clans of Country.
RALLIES AFTER BAD NIGHT:
Determined NOT TO DIE
Proposal to Transplant Kidneys Par
alyzed by Bichloride of Mercury
Pronounced Impossible.

MACON. Ga, May 21.-Despite asser-
tions by several physicians that he
cannot live. B. Sanders Walker the
young banker who swallowed a BIZ
chloride of mercury tablet by mistake
week ago. is making a desperate bat
tie for life today. Walkers remarkable
vitality is puzzling physicians and
specialists throughout the country.
Last night Walkers physicians be-
lieved the end was near. But the pa
tient steadfastly assured them that he
was determined to live. After an all
night fight with death, Walker rallied
slightly this morning. At 2 o'clock his
pulse was 1875. respiration 81 and tenn
perature SO.
Although unable to account fully for
Walkers remarka BILE vitality, physicians
today partially attributed his successful
resistance of the poison to the fact that
he emitted portion of the bichloride OF
mercury tablet soon after 1T was swal-
lowed. 1t was this development which
alarmed the banker and caused him to
call a physician. who rushed to the
Walker home and pumped out the con-
tents of Walkers stomach.
Kidneys Paralyzed by Poison.
The physicians arrival. however, was
not before the poison had taken suf-
fcient effect to paralyze the kidneys.
All of the members of Walkers i'm
mediate family are gathered at his home
here. Every precaution is being taken
to prevent the patient from becoming un-
duly excited. Only his wife, the at
tending physicians and nurses are per-
mitted to enter his room.

''There is not the slightest doubt that
Mr.. Walker will die" said Dr. NJ. NJ

the case, last night. 1.-THE poison has
gone all through his system and is not
confined to his kidneys. Even IL it were
only in his kidneys, he would die under

COMMENDATORY LETTERS
FLOOD REDFIELD'S MAIL
Secretary's Stand Regarding Re-
prisals by Manufacturers Earns
Approval All Over Country.

Letters of commentator for his speech
during their recent convention here have
literally flooded into the office OF William
Z. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce They
come from all parts OF the country, and
without exception, indorse the stand
taken by Secretary Redfield, when he de-
clared If manufacturers took any steps
at reduction OF wages as reprisals for the
passage OF the tariff bill now pending he
would Immediately start an investigation
Some of the letters point out that there is
need of investigation to determine the
dustries. and one man says that in all his
experience it has been proven that a
manufacturer does not need to cut wages
TO make a saving.
Example of Letters Received.
The following excerpt from one of the
letters gives a general idea of the kind
which are being received by Secretary
Redfield. 1t is from the secretary of a
chamber of commerce of an eastern city:
Il do not recall at any time during my
life when member of the cabinet spoke
out i'm such plain. distinct and positive
language. and | can only say that il has
been a source of qualification to me per-
sonally to know that some one in authority
had the courage to tell the truth. More
Of the same kind OF talk from the head
of every department is going to sink deep
into the hearts of the American people,
who, l believe, place utmost confidence
and reliance in the present adminstra
ton.

Regarded as Good Investment.

In explaining their action in appropri-
ating $50 toward the hospital fund.- the
directors of the Perpetual Building AS

case. the presence and readiness OF a
modern emergency hospital. equipped for
service at all times. would make the
amount good investment for the asso-

lions of like nature i'm Washington.
