no reason 10 doubt Mr.. Hatch's stand
ing, because | had known him TO carry
out big things and took him to be n
wealthy man"
One of the remarkable features of
the closing of the Mutual Trust Com
pany is the calm with which depositors
have accepted il. There has not been
the slightest disorder, although the
majority of depositors are people of
small means. many Of them foreigners.
The loss Of 100000 will be covered
in part by a capital OF 100000 and a
surplus Of an equal amount. Already
there is talk of reorganizing the insti-
tuition, and If this can be done II is
believed that eventually the depositors
will recover their full deposits.
Mr.. Hatch was generally regarded as
a man Of great wealth. He IS married
and has three children and his home,
Collnwood Farm, in Maplewood, is a
beautiful country place. He also owned
several other tracts Of land.
On Wednesday last. mortgage,
ioined in by Hatch and his wife, was
recorded. Apparently they borrowed
$4,000 on their home and other prop
erty. The loan was negotiated through
J. Charles O'Brien, real estate dealer
and broker Several other pieces OF
property were recently advertised for
sale on August 2 for non-payment OF
street assessments.
Byrne has always been known as an
exemplary young man. He IS married
and has two children. All OF ms
savings are said to have been deposited
i'm the bank. 1t was his hope to soon
be able to move from the modest
rented house in which he lived into
8 home of his own. and to this end ne
and his family lived frugally on the
fees which he received as notary pup
lie. putting his salary into the bank as
soon as II was received.

AFTER HARMONIOUS FARLEY

COLONIA DUBLAN, Mexico, June 1 (via
radio to Columbus, N. NJ. June 3.-For
four hours today General Pershing and
General Gavira, without side arms, sat side
by side in a Pullman car on shadeless
track between Nuevo Casas Grandes and
Colonia Dublan discussing the problem of
policing the State of Chihuahua. General
Gavira speaking for the de facto Govern
ment of Mexico, outlined what 1t proposed
to do to stamp out banditry, declaring the
Carranza forces would cooperate within
certain sections to relieve the forces of the
United States, now strung out compara-
lively inactive, between Columbus and
points south of Namiquipa.
Neither would go into details. Each will
submit report to his Government, but 1t
Is uncertain whether even then the public
will be apprised of the details.
General Pershing gave a field banquet"
at camp headquarters to General Gavira
tonight. General Gavira arrived in camp
in an army motor. He told General PERISH
ing that he, General Gavira, firmly believed
Villa was dead, as none could survive the
condition in which Villa was reported to be-
"I don't believe it," laughed General
Pershng; but even If true, the problem
would be to prove it-proof OF the death
might have an important bearing on this

The dinner was a great success. Toasts
were drunk to both President Wilson and
General Carranza. General Gavira paid a
tribute to President Wilson, whom he char.
acterized as a peace-loving man Of honor

Undismayed by the failure of his
limp right leg to respond to treat

ing and studied his own case.
Now, June, 1916, he believes the
leg must be cut off if he is ever to
return to the outside world. "Cut it
off" is his earnest wish; but he
doesn't think his opinion is worth as
much as his surgeons.
"I'll surely get out of here some
time" he laughs. at may be on a

of green turf. the towering elms and the

Three hundred grads slept de luxe on

DEAF GIRL LEARNS TO SING
Columbus, o., Woman Accomplishes
Feat Regarded as Impossible

COLUMBUS, June 3.-Teaching a deaf
person to sing. feat which hitherto gem
orally has been considered impossible, has
been accomplished by Mrs Christian Born,
wife of a Columbus brewer, after weeks of
experimenting with Magdalene Sattler an
1S-year-old Cleveland student at the State
School for the Deaf here, according to an
nouncement today.
Miss Helen Keller of New York, the
eminent deaf and blind student, is in Column
bus to test Mrs. Born's new process. Thomas
A. Edison also Is said to be interested in
Mrs. Born's experiments.
The new teaching method consists of
facial expressions accompanied by piano
tones. which the student cannot hear. To
date the Cleveland girl has mastered more
than an octave of notes, enough. scientists
say, to prove that the new method is a
success.

the hospital or wheeling himself about on
the sixth floor. he's been studying that leg
and thinking about II while the doctors who
have charge of his case are considering
what to do with 1t.
He believes II ought to come off and
that's Doctors opinion.
But l wouldn't think of placing my
opinion a par with Doctor Stewards" ="
he said modestly. Doctor Stewart Is the
surgeon who performed the delicate opera
tion on Smiling Jim's' back that probably
saved his life. Doctor Stewart also cut off
the left leg. And now Doctor Stewart and
the other surgeons who know the case hesi-
tate about further amputation.
NOT RESPONSIVE TO TREATMENT
There's a bare possibility that life will
return to the Leg" Doctor Keath said in as
matter-of-fact a tone as IL he were talking
about. leg belonging to an utter stranger
But it's not probable at all. Records say
that after all the time and treatment this
leg has had it should have responded. But
1t hasn't"
He laughed as he said 1t. as IL it were
an excellent Joke his leg was playing upon
him and Doctor Stewart TO look at his
twinlling eyes no one could have imagined
that this man was suffering from such a
thorn in the flesh as leg deadened to all
sensation and utterly useless.
"I have a theory about this leg" he con-
tinued. And again I'd like to say that
I'd be an migrate II 1. newly graduated,
should place my opinion in contradiction to
Doctor Stewards. My theory is that If the
leg is amputated. say three-quarters of the
way up the thigh. life would return to the
stump Just like 1t has to this stump" And
he gave a few approving thumps through
the blanket to the inches that remain of
the left leg.
Then" and his expressive eyes grew
enthusiastic perhaps could be rigged UP
with artificial legs"
He was silent moment. Smiling Jim's"
face grew serious as he thought of his long
deferred career. He has been dreaming
about that and. planning for 1t.
OPERATION DANGEROUS.
"of course, the operation would be dan
Eerous," he said in a very professional tone.
There's a certain risk. for this leg would
offer very little resistance The shock itself
wouldn't be very great, with anesthetcs,
but the resisting power OF the leg is almost
nil But I'm willing to take my chance"
Two years OF heiplessness. with only
occasional automobile rides in the cars of
friends to break the monotony of reading
and studying about his leg, have not taken

exclaimed, waving his long arms, tipped
with hands that spoke of latent power.
