HER FROM AMNESIA
Child's Playing Blocks Used in
Hospital to Identify
Woman.

Children's playing blocks with big
letters on them we're the ingenious
means a house surgeon at Flower Hos
pital used last night TO obtain from an
amnesia victim her name and address.
The woman had been in the hospital
since Sunday afternoon. Although she
wore a breastpin with picture, when
she said was a likeness OF retired
police captain, no representative OF the
Police Department had appeared to
try to identity her. so the hospital
authorities said.
The lieutenant at the Arsenal sta
ton, where the woman was first taken,
said he had informed Police Headquar-
tiers and the Bureau of Information.
DR.. Rollings, house surgeon, with the
aid of several nurses, spent much time
with the woman, who had been found
wandering along the West Drive in
Central Park, near 5Jth st. He held
the blocks IN front of her, showing her
first one letter and then another. Her
vacant mind seemed 70 try 70 grasp the
significance of it. Dr. Rollings turned
the blocks this way and that until the
woman became accustomed to the let
ters. Then he began to show the letters
slowly in the order Of the alphabet.
Each time he held the letter IN 'front.' OF
the woman for fully half minute On
through "a" and "B" and &C" and ~"
he went, and when he came TO ~" the
woman's eyes frightened perceptibly.
YES" she said. That's it,"
The surgeon continued, using all pa
thence and care possible, and finally,
after hard work, he found that she was
Ellen Flanagan. Of 4S6 Fourth av As
it seemed to be impossible, without
straining the patient further mentally,
TO md whether the street number was
in Manhattan or Bro Ign, the doctor
telegraphed both addresses.
Not long after the kilograms had
been sent Cornelius Flanagan, of 486
Fourth av., Brooklyn, appeared and
identified the woman as his wife, and
took her home with him. The picture
was his, it is said. but he was never on
the police force.

TELLS HER NAME
TO HALT ARREST
Nurse Who Took Mercury
Breaks Silence When Com
panior Is Threatened.

With LITTLE chance for recovery from
the bichloride of mercury she took IN
the Grand Central Terminal on Sunday
night, the young nurse known TO the
police as Mini broke silence yesterday
when the arrest of her companion was
threatened. She said she was Mini
Ennis, Of Ottawa, Canada, and that her
mother, Mrs +. Ryder, lived at Mac
Lauren and Gilmore SITS, that city.
Late last night a telegram was re-
ceived from her mother, who is the
wife of an assistant superintendent Of
the Government Printing Bureau at
Ottawa, saying she would come here.
d. De Rivcowsky, portrait artist, Of
"a West Goth St., as he described him
self was the man for whom the woman
was willing 70 violate her detcrm.ua-
tion TO die unknown. 1t appeared that
she was unknown even to him, accord
ing to the story he told the police on
Sunday night. when she was removed
from the Grand Central Depot to the
Flower Hospital. He said he met her
in Chicago n year ago, and recently
they had met by accident in this city.
Sunday night he went with her 10 sec
her Off for Canada. She took the poison
after leaving him in the waiting room.
She swallowed half dozen 7iq-grain
tablets. and at the Flower Hospital the
only hope Of the physicians is that the
large quantity will react in her favor.
She said yesterday she obtained the
poison from d physician on the pre-
tonce that she intended 20 use II in her
nursing.
She refused to tell who the physician
was. and had torn the label from the
bottle. Her stay in this city had been
brief. she said. and she had occupied
q furnished room near University
Place. The only reason for taking poi
son was that she had been respondent
and had intended TO take her life for
some time. She denied that she was
married, although she wore a wedding

announced that continued

honseholders the State may be
able to establish u new low re-
cord for the year in the amount
of typhoid.
While the Boards laboratory
has been called Oh to make a

the Board by physicians have
been small for the season and
compare favornbly with the re-
cord for 1912, the lowest Vir-
ginia has known since its health
work was reorganized in 1905.
"rhe State is anxious to do
its part in the investigation of
outbreaks, the examination of

bulletin of the Board today
but the best results cannot be
achieved without the fullest
degree of public cooperation.

fever is caused by a germ that

The germs are carried by flies

by contact with persons who

British minister at Brussels. Sir H'u-
ward Grey said it had been brought ~
his knowledge that there was appre-
hension in Belgium that England
would be the first to violate Belgian
neutrality. He pointed out to the min

hension could have come from a British
source and he was sure England would
nat lie the first to violate the neutral
i,v of Belgium What England had to
consider was what il was desirable and
necessary for England, as one of the
guarantors of Belgian neutrality, to
do if Belgian neutrality were violated
by any power. Sir Edward continued:
