Washington, Aug. Whether

subject.
Copies of a resolution passed by

on Congress to place an embargo on

PLANS FOR SALE
OF MILLS q GLIB
Judge Mayer Orders Decree
Submitted on November 10.

Judge julius VI. Mayer, at hearing
in the case Of Mills G. Glib in the Fed
eral Court yesterday, directed submis-
sion on November 10 of decree OF
sale. as the stockholders committee,
composed Of George l.. lngraham, A.
Leo Everett, Herbert L. Pratt and H.
p. Maynard, had failed to present
plan of reorganization.
Joseph N. Hartley, representing the
noteho,ders' committee, with claims ag-
gregating 81, 400 600, asked that the sale
be set for October 10, declaring that
he did not believe there would be any
liquidation and that he expected the
assets to be purchased either by the
creditors he represented or others.
The suggestion was opposed by James
y. Rosenberg, representing the gen
eral creditors committee, who said that
the merchants and bankers interested
in the affairs of the corporation were
determined TO continue the business,
retaining the present employees. even II
they had to furnish financial aid.
Judge Mayer also ordered the re-
ceivers. Joseph b. Martindale and j.
Harper Poor. TO pay off second mort
gage of $4,000 on twelve-story apart
ment house at 2l0 West 10th Street,
valued at s323,000, which was turned
over to the trustees of Mills d Glib
by William T. Evans, the president, on
which the holder had threatened TO
foreclose. He further ordered the can
collation. of a contract for the exchange
of the building for property at Fourth

TURKS BAR u. 5.
SYRIAN RELIEF
Lansing Told Efforts to
Feed Reported Starving
Are Unnecessary.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Turkey has
refused TO grant the request Of the
United States that a neutral commit
tee be permitted to undertake relief
work in Syria, where thousands of ma
tive Christians are reported to be
starving.
Charge d'Afaires Miller, of Constan-
tinople, in a dispatch received at the
State Department to-day said the
Turkish government had informed him
relief operations in Syria were consid-
cred unnecessary. because crops there
were better than anywhere else in the
empire He added that, although he
was told the decision was final, he had
not dropped the subject, but would
continue to press it for favorable ac-
ton.
Turkish officials contended, Mr.. Mil
Ter said, that while food shortage ex-
listed to some extent in all belligerent
countries there was no serious famine
condition in Syria.
Notes from Great Britain and Aus
tria regarding the proposed American
relief operations in famine stricken
districts Of Russian Poland held by the
Teutonic allies, received to-day at the
State Department, contain no new pro-
rosals opening the way for settlement
of the controversy between the bellig-
erents which had made relief work
impossible.
Austria Argumentative.
The British note, handed to Ambas-
sador Page last week, reiterates the
Willingness of the Entente Allies to
permit shipments of provisions into
Pollard on condition that the occupy
ing Teutonic armies viii not selZe or
remove native food supplies.
Austria's communication, forwarded
by Ambassador Penfield, is described
as being argumentative, supporting the
position that troops occupied solely
in policing conquered territory should
use the products of the country.
Ii was stated at the department that
further representations on this subject
probably would not be made until re
plies had been received TO the personal
letters addressed by President Wilson
TO rulers of the belligerent countries.

Hopes to Address National

NEW YORK LEADERS
URGE NEUTRALITY
Resolve That Votes for Women

President Wilson. who does not be-
lieve in the Federal amendment. does
believe in suffrage, and hopes that he
may be able to address the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa
TONS big convention in Atlantic City
next month.
In a personal letter received by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. president of the
association. last night. the President
promised that he would try to arrange
his itinerary so as to address the
suffragists on the night of September
s.
al very much value and appreciate"
said Mr.. Wilson's letter, your kind

The national sufrragists have also
invited Mr.. Hughes to address their
convention, but have received no reply
from him yet.
Only One Platform Plank.
The New York State Woman Suffrage
party. assembled in state committee at
Saratoga Springs on Thursday, decided
that "votes for women" should be the
only plank in their party platform
They adopted the following resolu-
ton:
"Since there are frequent misrepre-
sensations of the suffrage position on
such matters as peace. preparedness
the liquor question ana pollticai Pat
tisanship. it is the sense OF this meet
ing that we reiterate the single plank
of the New York State Woman. Suf-
frage party. Whatever AS individuals
we may believe, as a suffrage organi-
cation we are not empowered by our
members 20 represent them on any
question but one. and that is votes for
women"
This resolution was passed because
women are going over to the Repub.
lican party because of its support oil
suffrage.
at is the sense Of this meeting that
we urge our workers throughout the
state to maintain strictly the non-par-
tisan character of our policy" was the
determination at the morning meeting
The room was full of enthusiastic
suffragists. and a "Victory, 1917" ban

Invented Murphy Button
That Revolutionized
Intestinal Surgery.
KNIGHTED BY POPE
FOR ACHIEVEMENTS
Poisoned Soup at Archbishop
Munde1ein Dinner Said to Have
Injured His Health.

Mackinac Island, Mich. Aug. IL
DR.. John B. Murphy, Of Chicago, one
of the worlds most renowned sur
geons, died suddenly to-day at a hotel
here while on a summer outing. Heart
disease was the immediate cause Of
death.
DR.. Murphy had been in poor health
for several months and some had
ascribed his condition 70 poisoned
soup partaken of at the dinner given
for Archbishop Mundelein. at the
University Club, Chicago. last winter.
His wife was with him at his death.
The famous surgeon, who recently
was knighted by Pope Benedict for his
researches in surgery. was ffty-eight
years old. His pioneer surgery in
cases Of appendicitis, later in the
treatment Of other intestinal disorders
and more recently in the serum neu-
tralization of rheumatic and other
joint troubles, has made him known
ii over the world.
Chicago, Aug. 11.-PresideL. OF the
American Medical Association in 1918
and elected the same year TO be presi-
dent of the Clinical Congress of Sur
geons Of America, John Benjamin MUIR
ply had received the most distin-
guished honors that could be accorded
a surgeon in this country. His operat-
ing clinic, at the Mercy Hospital in
Chicago, was mecca for surgeons all
over the world
He was born in Appleton, Wis, De-
cember q, 1857, and was educated in
the public schools, the University OF
Illinois, Rush Medical College, of Chi
cago, and in Germany. He had re-
ceived dozens OF titles and honors.
DR.. Murphy reached preeminence in
every branch Of surgery, but he may be
called the founder of the present sys-
tenn of intestinal surgery.
In 1899, in Chicago, Dr. Murphy
showed Or. Franklin II. Martin, an in
innate friend. a metal ball about the
size of an English walnut.
There said DR.. Murphy. as the
thing that is going 10 revoutionize in
testinal surgery. I've tried it on twen-
ty dogs with perfect success"
1t was the Murphy button" a metal
capsule for uniting severed intestines,
that later brought its inventor into
prominence.
you wouldn't try IL on human be-
ing, would you?" asked Or. Martin.
First chance / get" exclaimed DR..
Murphy emphatically.
DR.. Murphy read paper on the but
ton in 1892 in New York before the
convention of the Academy Of Surgery.
DR.. Charles McBurney asked him 10
demonstrate the use of the button the
next day at his clinic. The patient
was a man suffering with gangrene
Of the intestine. whose death other
wise could not have been deferred
many days.
Prepare your patient. and show me
where you want the intestine joined
and | will join it," DR.. Murphy said.
When DR.. McBurney said he was
ready. Dr. Murphy stepped forward and
in twenty seconds snapped the button

Of surgeons was electrical. The pa
ticnt made a perfect recovery.
