VERCARA LURED
INTO AMBUSH
AND SLAIN
Byan's Note Demanding Punish
ment of Murderers Of Ranch
man Most Positive Thus Far.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Wilson Administration to-day began
a patient wait for the answer Of
President Victoriano Huerta to the
formal demand made through Charge
O'Shaughnessy that the murderers OF
Clemente Vergara, the Texas ranch
man. be punished for the crime.
The telegram sent by Secretary
Bryan to Charge O'Shaughnessy in
Mexico City was the most positive
stand yet taken by this Government,
and II Is indicated that the State De-
partment is determined to press
Huerta
It is pointed out that strong EVIL
dence exists that three Federal SOL
dlers, under command OF an officer OF
the Hdalgo, Mexico garrison, lured
Vergara from the United States side
of the Rio Grande into Mexico, where
he was shot
The fact that the body OF Vergara
was recovered and brought to United
States soil by civilians not affiliated
In any way with the Government re-
lieVes the case OF an international as
pect.
SO far as the reclamation Of the
body is concerned, this phase of the
incident is closed, and the United
States Government will make no off,
cial efforts to obtain the identity OF
the men who went to Hidalgo last
Sunday and dug up Vergara's body. 1

GLAND Of DEAD.
GIRL USED FOR
INSANITY
Chicago Physician Performs Re-
markabIe Operation in Effort
to Cure Brain AfIiction.

CHICAGO, March IA gland re-
moved from a dead body seven days
before was utilized in an operation by
DR.. G. Frank Lydston on a patient at
the Dunning State Hospital in an at
tempt TO cure what has hitherto been
considered a case Of hopeless insani-
ty. The patient--a 17-year-old girl
Is suffering from "dementia precox."
At the same time the surgeon per-
formed a similar operation on an
other patient, rs years old, suffering
from the same malady. implanting a
gland 30 hours removed from living
body.
From the pathological standpoint
both operations were completely sue
cessful," said DR. Lydston. Whether
or not the mental condition OF the pa
tents will be improved will not be
known for at least six or eight weeks.
| am hopeful that complete cures will
result"
Experimental on Own Body.
DR. Lydston used the same methods
Of gland implantation in perfecting
which he experimental on his own
body and the results of which he be-
lieves to be completely successful. 1t
was the first time in the history of
surgery that such an operation has
been performed for the cure of in
sanity. The younger OF the two pa
TENTS was Hattie Emmling and the
older Wilhelmina Schroeder. The for
mer has been an inmate Of Dunning
two years, the latter for five years.
The operations were performed at
the invitation and with the consent of
DR.. George Leininger. the superin-
tendent Of the institution. At the end
of the period of observation, il i'm
provement in the mental condition Of
the patients is found, other opera
lions will be performed.
Considered lncurabIe Heretofore.
Fully IS per cent of the cases of
insanity come under the classification
OF 'dementia precox," said Dr. Lyd-
ston. telling of what may prove sur
gical triumph. Recent blood tests
have shown that this form of insani-
ty is due to imperfect functioning of
the delicate sex glands.
THE operations / performed on the
two women at Cumming were super
fetal and involved not the slightest
danger. One of the transplanted
glands was removed from a 17-year-
old girl who was killed in an accident
seven days ago. 1t was kept in a salt
solution and stored in a refrigerator.
The other was removed from a pa
tent 26 years old because OF another
condition which made the operation
necessary. 1t was kept for 30 hours.
have demonstrated by the operation
on myself that these glands live after
the body from which they have been
removed Is dead"

Macon Robber Band
Broken Up;2 Jailed,
lin Hospital, dead

MACON, March 11.-With one
dead another in the hospital and two
in jail, the Macon police believe they
have run down the gang of burglars
who have operated so successfully in
this part Of the State for many
months. Elem Jordan, one Of the
safe blowers, not only confessed to
his part In the robbery of the Mid
dlebrooks grocery store last week, but
told detectives where they could ar
rest one Of his accomplices, who was
subsequently taken into custody.
The confession of Jordan estab-
fishes the fact that Charles Carson,
who was shot dead, and Jimmie Lee
Waites who was seriously wounded
by the night watchman at a lumber
plant last week, were trying to loot
the safe.
