DR.. Herbert L. Shinn Volun-

Precedent was established in the
annals of police and a remarkable
case was written In medical history
when police last night searched for a
volunteer, whose blood was TO be

The operating surgeons find hope IN
the fact that the task they undertook
was a last resort and that an infusion
OF new blood at least could do her
no harm.
Found Unconscious.
The case Is remarkable from many
angles, including the accident which
resulted in the woman's serious condi-
tion. She was found in bed, uncon-
scious and dying. beside her dead
husband. shortly after noon yesterday
in their home at SIT Sixth street north
east. Gas flowing from an open Jet

The doors and windows of the house
were locked. Then ]. H. Kirby, living
next door to the Leonards, pried open

went to the second floor. AS they opened
the door to the couples bedroom, a black

determined the woman could not live
unless extraordinary measures were
taken. DR.. Charles Stanley White, con-

red with resident physician at Casualty
and decided to resort to infusion of new
blood. The hospital appealed to police
of the Ninth precinct
Lieut.. Yulee Hodges himself visited
many young and robust acpuaintances,
and the appeal was sent through the
boxes to the policemen on their beats. In
the meantime, however, DR.. Shinn had
returned to the hospital and volunteered
to submit to the operation.

Secretary OF State Lansing yesterday
declined TO commit the United States gov

The Swedish Minister. W. A. F Eken-

Swedish Envoy disappointed.
In diplomatic quarters it is known that
the Swedish Minister is disappointed by
the attitude the United States has
adopted.
The British interference with the mails
particularly the usurpation Of the right
TO censor frst-class mail, is regarded by
the Swedish Minister. and characterized
by the Swedish government in its note
as violation Of the fundamental stipu-

At least nlnety-three Americans have

A statement submitted to the Senate
yesterday by Secretary Lansing in re-

seventy-six Americans who lost their
lives in the southern republic in the
years 1913. 1914 and 1915.
This. of course. does not include the
seventeen Americans massacred by Villa

In addition to this. Secretary Lans-

American soldiers were killed on Amer

list that the Wilson administration ever
has made public of the loss of American
life in Mexico. The resolution which

Many had expected a full and frank
statement Of the entire Mexican sit

Mr.. Lansing, acting on the Presidents $
orders, dealt with the situation only
in q general way and replied that
much of the detailed matter called for
could not be furnished because it
would not be compatible with the

Among the significant omissions
from the report were the naval orders

People Believe in Reed.

Stuart F. Reed Is o native son OF
West Virginia who has made his way
upward in spite OF early dificultiea
and meager opportunities to an hon
ored position among the scholars and
statesmen OF his day, says tho Webster
Republican.
His career has been brilliant as well
as useful to the people OF the state. He
has stood for the best and has over
been the champion OF the average man.
Whether at work back on the farm or
teaching country school. whether
In the state senate or presiding over
a department OF state his work has al
ways borne the stamp Of his talented
personality.
He was born and reared among tho
West Virginia hills, far from railroads
and towns, among the plain, honest,
common people, and no hon0rs that
have come to him have ever spoiled
him In the least or chilled the warmth.
OF tho greeting or the sincerity OF tho
hand-clasp he offers to the poorest
and humblest citizen in tho land. Tho

to him as 1t does to the statesman or

The people believe in him, admire
him. and vote for him when they get
n chance. In 1912 his total vote in the
state q32.513) was the largest cast
for state official. In the eleven
counties of the new. Third congress
sional district Mr.. Reeds majority in
these eleven counties was 2.0O7 great
er than the congressional majority. In
Harrison, his home county, he ran 1893
ahead of the Republican congressman.
These unmistakable evidences OF his
popularity. together with his scholarly
attachments. his superior fitness and
his high character, account for his
strength az candidate and the wide
spread sentiment that his nomination
for Congress will strengthen tho Re-
publican ticket in every county of the
