GRAPHING .LEG OF
 ONE SOLDIER TO THAT 0F ANOTHER
Remarkable Surgical Opera tion Now Being Reformed
 in France.

Correspondence of the Associated Press )
 Paris, June 19.-One of the most remarkable surgical operations on rec ord is now being performed at the Grand Palais, the massive building usually used for the annual Salon, but now transferred into vast hospital. Here two soldiers lie side by side, bound together like Siamese twins, while a large portion of the leg of one of them is being slowly transferred into the leg of the other one Noted surgeons are gathered about, watch ing the slow development which they regard as marvellous, both from the surgical standpoint as we'll as from the sentimental, in which one soldier is calmly giving day by day part of his body to fellow soldier.
 The two men lie on their backs on a large operating table in one of the halls of the hospital. They lie in opposite directions, the head of one near the feet of the other, like the figures on playing cards. They are among the most seriously wounded of the younger class of soldiers, one 26 and the other 23 years old. The younger, Rousselot, was wounded in the leg at the battle of Morhange in the early days of the war. He was taken a prisoner to Germany, where the surgeons say he did not receive intelligent attention. Brought back here last September, it was necessary to perform second operation to lengthen his leg IA centimetres (about 51a inches). But after the extension was performed, there was still a lack of bony matter between the two DOT tions of the broken phemur.
 The other soldier, Tillete, an ar tilleryman, was seriously wounded in the leg two months ago in the des- perate fight over Fort Douaumont. In a field operation his leg was am- putated above the knee. Later it was found that second operation was necessary in order to shorten the led

SALE IF FRISCO
 RAILROAD SET
 FOR WEDNESDAY,
Expected Re rganization Managers Be the Only
 Bidders. <.

St. Louis, Mo, July 1.-The sale of the St. Louis & San Francisco rail- road, which has been advertised to take place at the railroads round- house in St. Louis on July 19, will bring within sight the end of the threc-year receivership, during which the system has been divested of two important Subsidiaries-theC Chicago 6 Eastern Illinois and the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico.
 The sale at foreclosure was decreed in the United States circuit court by Judge Sanborn on March 31, 1916, and he fixed the minimum price at $45,- 100000.
 It is generally accepted in financial circles that there will be but one bid der for the property-the reorganiza- tion managerS-Who have submitted to the Missouri Public service com mission a comprehensive plan for the financing of the road. The plan was accepted by the public service com mission, except that feature providing for voting trust to hold the stock of the road for five years This plan was allowed to remain in the reor- ScllllLdlIOH pldIl, SuOJCSC to q GULL | uC- cision as to it's validity under Mis- souri law.
 Under the reorganization plan, the new Frisco system is to have capital of $321 ,6S8,00 including bonds.
 It is expected that new company will be organized soon after the sale of the road at foreclosure to the re- organization managers, and that early in August the new company formally will take over the road from the re- ceivers.
 The reorganization managers are J. and w. Seligman & Co. and Speyer & Go.
 Under the reorganization plan, the capitalization, exclusive of the bonds of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis road, an integral part of the Frisco system, is in round members as | follows:
 Prior lien bonds, $95, 5,600,000; ad- iustment mortgage fives, $25,000,- 900; adjustment mortgage sixes. S4O,- O0O00O; noncumulative income bonds. $35 ,OOO OO0; noncumulative preferred stock. $7000,000, and common stock, $48. 8.OOO,OOO.

SECRET CRIME
 COST HIM $20,00C

Omaha, Neb., July 15.-A gruesome secret, dug up from the dark recesses of an aged mans past, was the means by which George Wilson, 75 years of age, formerly of Audubon, Iowa, was defrauded of an estate worth $25,- 900, declares c. s. Christensen, the old mans guardian, in a petition filed in the district court, in which an ac- counting is asked from Charles M. and Laura Reese.
 The nature of the secret is not given in the petition, nor would the attor- neys for the plaintiff tell. The peti- tion declares that Wilson lives in mortal terrors of officers of the law because of some offenses committed in his early life, and that when the Reeses, with whom he boarded, be- came aware of it they got his money by playing upon his fear.
 Once he was taken to the Edward Rosewater school and there arrested by a man claiming to be a deputy sheriff. Wilson bribed the "officer" and obtained his liberty.

FORMER BISHOP 0F STATE HAS
 NEW RELIGION
Rev. Wm. M. Brown Denies Divinity of Christ and of
 Immortality.
lBy Clio Harperl

Startling and iconoclastic are the doctrines that are b ing advanced by the Ri. Rev. Mm. M. Brown, of Cali On. Q, former bishop of Arkansas.
 He is writing a book in which hH proposes a hCW religion, at least, 9 new interpretation Of the only re | ligon there is, the religion of natural law and of morality. He would d2- nominate this new doctrine LevellSm including in it's folds all who sub scribe to it's tenets in Chrlstianism, Judaism Mohammedanism. Buddhism and even infidels and heretics.
 Bishop Brown bases his ilterpre- tation upon 9 general denial Of all the traditions and fundamentals upon which the Christian system has been built up Prefacing his doctrines with a denial of much, he arrives at a conclusion that is simple and dl- rect but all inclusive.
 | He denies as historic facts, as- serting that they are only symbols, allegores, or notifications of the sun-myth common to the most anci- ent religions, the following cherished truths of Christian faith:.
 The existence of an anthropomor- phous, or divine-human god, and an equally divine-human devil;
 Of the existence as physical fact of a heaven and hell as the abode of departed spirits;
 All miracles or supernatural phe- nomena of whatever character, as serting the theory that the miracles recorded in the Scriptures are only so many parables or unauthenticated traditions;
 1 He denies that Jesus, if such per son lived, was any more the son of some "magnified man of the sky, than were Mohammed, Buddha. or any other of the MaaSavlours of hls- tory;
 He denies the Adam and Eve story as having any historical basis. con sequently the Genesis narrative Of the fall and it's consequences;
 He denies the immaculate concep' ton, the virgin birth, the redemptive death, the resurrection. the ascension and the second coming.
 All these and many other startling theories are advanced, probably the most revolutionary of all being his Tdeclaration that study has forced hln

by some centimetres.
 It was at this point that the sur geons concluded that the soldier who needed the shortened leg could give up this portion to the soldier who needed the longer leg. Tillete Was consulted by the chief surgeon; the operation of grating was fully explained to him; and it was made known also that he was rendering service to a soldier comrade and to science. He did not hesitate, but gave his full assent
 Thereupon the operation began, and now, after some weeks, the two sol diers lie there on their backs, the right thigh of Rousselot against the left thigh of Tillete, bound together with the same surgical bandages so as to prevent the slightest shifting of the operated parts, until the phenomena of transferring one leg to the other is accomplished.
