Statements of Charles E Hughes in

stirred up a brief political debate in
the Senate yesterday afternoon.
Senator Ransdall. democratic mem
ber of the committee which handles
such legislation. quoted Mr.. Hughes
assertion at Fargo that no expert ex-
animation had been made to determine
the need OF appropriations and con-
tinued:
"Mr. Hughes must know the facts

dicted Senator Ransdall, declaring
numerous appropriations had been
made, without the approval of en-
Rtneers. He added that the fact that

saws that the opinion OF the associa-
ton calling for the general increase in
the price of bread from s to 10 cents
a loaf probably has been misunderstood
by some of the general public and ap-
parently by the government officials.
"The convention voted not for price
of 10 cents for the present scent loaf,
but for the general sale of only 10
cent loaves," he said incidentally,
because of the high price of materials
and the present narrow margin of
profit, it is proposed to diminish the
size of the present 10-cent loaf slight

the cost of breadmaking.

DIR. JOHN B. MURPHY,
NOTED SURGEON, DIES
Founder of Present System of In
testinal Surgery, Through the
Murphy Button" Succumbs.

MACKINAC ISLAND. Mich, August
12.-Dr. John B. Murphy of Chicago,
one of the worlds most renowned sur
geons. died yesterday suddenly at a
hotel here while on a summer outing.
An attack of heart disease was the
immediate cause of death. DIR. Murphy
had been in poor health for several
months, and some had ascribed his
condition to the poisoned" soup par
taken of at the banquet given to Arch
bishop Mundelein in Chicago last win
ter. His wife was with him at the
time of death.
The surgeon. who recently was
knighted by Pope Benedict for his re-
searches in surgery, was only fifty
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 rheumatism and other
Joint troubles, had made him known all
over the world.
DIR. Murphy had been overworked
during the winter. and finally devel-
oped aortitis. which extended TO the
pancreas. When hot weathee struck
Chicago several weeks ago he and his
wife went to the cooler climate of
northern Michigan. but change failed
to benefit the surgeon. Thursday he
had a sinking spell. and he remained
in a precarfous condition until an
acute attack Of heart disease seized him
Yesterday about 3 o'clock. He died In
a few minutes.
