State Department Hears En-
voy and Huerta Aide
Went into Details
H. L. WILSON MAY
BE DISMISSED
Ambassador Is Talking Too
Much-PoWers with
President

Washington, Aug. l4.-Dispatches
yesterday to the state department from
John Lind, personal representative of
President Wilson in Mexico, described
his visit with Frederick Gamboa, Mexican
minister of foreign relations.
While officials here declined to discuss
the dispatches it was understood on
good authority that the conversation ex-
tended beyond the mere formalities of
a social call.
Senior Gamboa and Mr.. Lind talked
briefly about the situation and while
Mr.. Lind did not reveal entirely the pur-
poses of his errand he is declared to
have set at rest rumors that he was
coming to interfere directly in Mexican
politics.
The general understanding in official
circles is that Mr.. Lind had intimated
that the American government would
continue to oppose recognition until a
constitutional election was held.
Mexico City, Aug l4.-Late official
dispatches arriving here concerning the
defeat of the rebels at Torreon and the
lifting of the siege there say that g.
200 rebels were killed. The reports say
that large number of those classed as
killed were executed
The third day of the fighting there
was an uprising in the town involving
a number of local officials The troops,
however, gained the upper hand and
wiped out the mob with machine guns
and rifle fire and by arresting and put
ting to death large number of per-
sons. During this trouble the mob used
dynamite bombs against the troops.
Outside the city the rebels redoubled
their efforts to capture the place, and
at one time sent dynamite laden train
against it. The train, however, was de-
rallied some distance out from the town.

MAD SURGEON TRIES
TO DISSECT PATIENT
Ohio Operator Lays Open Farmers
Face and Neck, but Cleyerly Dodges
Aretries-Horrifed Nurse
Summons Help.

Marietta, o., Aug. With tho
commitment to Long View asylum il
Cincinnati yesterday of DIR. William K
Dabney, there has come to light one OF
the most remarkable chapters in medical
history.
Not until the crazed surgeon had un.
dertaken TO perform vivisection upon a
patient was it realized by the attend.
ants in the operating room that mad
ness was directing the knife in an eff
fort to uncover vital organs.
DIR. Dabney entered practice in Mari
eta about Is years ago. He made a
speciality of eye, ear and throat opera
tions For several months previous Ia
his mental collapse and the startling
revelations of his condition, rarely a
day passed that he did not perform
two or three difficult operations.
1t was the death on the operating
table OF an aged. and wealthy farmer,
Jacob f. Schaad, that brought DR.. Dab.
ney's career TO climax. Sehaad had a
humorous growth on his upper jaw, He
consulted DR.. Dabney and was assured
that a minor operation would remove
the Disagreement.
Besides DIR. Dabney and the nurse
there were present when Schaad lapsed
into Inconsistencies under the influ-
ence of an anaesthetic, DR.. c. b. Ballard
and DR.. J. b. Penrose. As DR.. Dabney
proceeded with the knife the two sur
geons detected that there was something
wrong, and both began to demonstrate.
pr. Dabney became angry and ordered
them from the operating room.
When the two doctors had left, ac-
cording to the story of the nurse who
had remained beside the unconscious pa
tient. DIR. Dabney began to dissect
Schaad's face and throat. Both sides
of the face We're laid open and deep in
cisions made in the throat. But the
skill of the mad surgeon was shown in
the dexterity with which he avoided in
flicting a fatal wound.
How far the erazed surgeon would
have proceeded with the dissection can
not be told for the Mortified nurse ran
that DIR. Dabney was killing
his patient. Her cries brought Drs Bal
lard and Penrose with several hospital
attendants to the rescue and DIR. Dab
ney, by this time a raging maniac,
his knife over the uncon-
scious living subject, was disarmed and
after desperate struggle.

Bebel was a member of the German
Reichstag for more than forty years
and the figure of the "Red Napoleon,
as he was called by his colleagues, was
often the center of uproar and turbu-
lence during parliamentary debate.
As leader of the German Socialist par
ty, which at the last elections polled
over 100000 votes, he was by far the
strongest political force in Germany, and
by many his sway was held to be second
only to the kaiser's. He was an ex-
tremely wealthy man, though born poor,
many requests coming to him from
wealthy friends. He maintained a villa
on Lake Zurich and a suite of apart
ments in the Haupt strasse, Berlin,
where every caller, no matter what his
rank, was always welcome.
Ferdinand August Bebel was born on
Feb. 22, lS40 and began life ms the son
of a carpenter. His eloquenee and social
theories soon won him the friendship Of
such men as Karl Marx and Frederick
Engel, and in 1867 he began his parlia-
mentary career. In 1872 he was tired on
charges of lese majestic and sentenced to
term in prison.
Reelected to the Reiehstag. he began
building up the Socialist party. and his
death finds him its uncrowned head in
Germany.
His published writings are many, and
his reputation as an impassioned orator
stands very high, Unobtrusive in APP
pearanee and somewhat below medium
height, it was strange paradox that
placed him as spokesman for over 1900
900 toilers in his own land of muscular
manhood. But in the Reiehstag and on
the platform all was changed, and his

"Strong Arm" Men Eject the Men and

New York, Aug FIFTY men and
ten women who, defying Mayor Gaynor's
curfew order, refused to leave we'll
known uptown restaurant at o'clock
yesterday morning, were thrown bodily
into the street by Police Inspector Dwy-
er and squad of "strong arm" men.
Thomas Healy, the proprietor, would
not close his place when ordered by the
police to do so. He pointed to re-
cent court order which, he contended,
reversed the mayors edict, and told
Dryer that inasmuch as he had closed
his bar and was not selling liquor he
could not be compelled to turn away
persons who desired to dine after
o'clock.

entered the Republican primaries for the

feated him in the primaries.

pected to progress rapidly. To a GER
tain extent Australia initiates Canada
In selecting a capital. Canada did not
have to build Ottawa, from the ground
up, but 1t converted the old "Bytown,''
a lumber station and shipping point
into a seat Of government. Queen
Victoria made choice Of Ottawa in
the capacity Of grand arbitrator, after
Montreal, Quebec, Toronto and Kings
ston had quarreled for the distinction
of being the capital until any three
of them we're ready to unite against
the fourth. Ottawa is now a beauti-
full city Of 100000 inhabitants, despite
the fact that 1t remains simply the
political capital. So does Washing
ton, for that matter, a still more beau
tiful city, with a population approx
mating 100000. 1t seems to be the
rule for harmony in nations essentially

sections shall dictate the choice of q
