tient With New Joint.

Washington, Sept. 24-Five Wash
ington surgeons, members of the
house staff Of the Emergency Hospi
tai, recently performed an operation
by which the ossiicd jaw of lacone
Ernest, an Italian merchant Of this
city, was reshaped and an artifica!
Joint for the lower maxillary was
chiseled out.
Experts throughout the country
have sent word declaring that this is
the first time an operation of such a
character has been performed in the
United States.
Ernest will leave the hospital with
in few days, having been there nine
weeks.
Classification Of the jaw" as the
physicians term it. was the result OF
an injury received b, Ernest ID years
ago while member Of the Royal
Household Cavalry of Rome, when he
was thrown from horse during drill.
The jaws eventually closed so tight
that it was necessary to break two
teeth in order to feed him. At the
Emergency Hospital it was found
that the bones Of tbs upper and lower
jaw had become solid structure.
DR.. w. P. Carr. in charge of the
hospital staff, performed the opera
ton. assisted by Drs. w. B. Carr Har-
ry Lewis, f. Noblett and H. Niestadt.
In order to release the patients jaws
it was necessary tc carve along the
lines where the bones had grown to-
eether. Ernest is now able to mastic-
ate solid food.

WARNING FROM SWEDEN
British Must Cease Violating Rights
or Take CnSeuuenceS

British Must Cease Violating Rights
or Take Cnsequences.
Berlin, Sept. 90 = The Overseas
News Agency quotes as follows from
an editorial in the Skanska Aftenblad-
ct OF the Malmo Sweden:
Nobody knows whether the waves
of the world war some day will reach
the Swedish shore. Sweden and Den
mark are now we'll prepared, and
would be of great assistance if they
should join either side.
eff England does not perceive the
moral reasons which should prevent
her from violating continually the
rights of northern countries she
should be impressed by material rea-
sons. She should be reminded that if
Sweden is compelled to participate in
the war it certainly will not be on
England's side The energetic pro-
English propaganda will not change
the feeling of the Swedish people, who
are related racially to the Germans.
Their sympsthies belong with the
Germans"

Says Rockefeller Jr.

Walsenburg, Col. Sept. 24-John D.
Rockefeller. jr., yesterday uttered what
is believed to be the final word of the
Rockefeller interests in the matter of

"The question of union labor is not
considered here said Mr.. Rockefeller
discussing at the Rouz Mine the well
fare system which has been inaugrat-
ed in all the plants of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. eve do not
inquire whether man is a member
of the union or not. Our aim is to
give every man a right, whether a
unionist or not. to. present such griev-
ances as he may have to the officials
Of the company.
"To facilitate this, the employees of
the mine as you have seen, elect in
secret meeting, where each has voice
two delegates to represent them.
These representatives may be'union
men if a majority of the men are
unionists, or nonunion men if the con-
trarv situation exists. Two represen-
tatives are allotted to each group of
$50 miners.
"To the representatives the men are
encouraged to present as often as may
be necessary their grievances, and the
representatives, in turn, take up the
grievances with the officials of the
company, and those grievances are
then adjusted to the best Of our alb
ility.'
