Clayton, where the doctor, veterin-
arian, located few days ago.
Both of DR.. Christianson's legs
were frozen to four inches above the
ankles, but by wonderful nerve and
determination he kept himself alive
for over six hours, forcing himself
to keep moving such portions of his
body as were not held tight by the
weight of the car.
The doctor was driving the auto
and upon reaching an icy piece Of
road the wheels skidded and threw
the machine and two occupants into
the ditch and under the car. Walter
Case of Slayton, who accompanied
Christianson, died an hour after the
accident.
The doctor was found early We'd
nesday morning and hurried to a
hospital where examination was
made of the frozen parts. Late devel-
opments indicate that it may be pos
sible to save one of the doctors feet,
with the exception of one or two
toes, so he will not be entirely pre-
vented from practicing his profess
sion. One foot will undoubtedly
have to be amputated, according to
the doctors.

DRUGS ADVANCE TOP PRICES.
Profits for 1915 Also Show Biggest
Gains known in Trades
History.

The year 1915 with the drug and
chemical interests will go down in
history as having attained the high
est prices ever recorded.
AS corollary the profits of the
last year with the chemical manufac-
turer, wholesale and retail druggist
show practically the largest gains
ever known. With many chemicals
it has resulted in an ability to obtain
supplies, eliminating the considera-
ton of cost.
The most spectacular advances
have been on the potash salts which
are selling for over ten times their
normal value. The scarcity OF
bromine caused its combinations to
jump $1.25 pound in day, and the
prices still are soaring Quinine and
carbolic acid went the limit, but of
the latter an easing up is noticeable
because of American manufacture.
Many colors and dyestuhs are even
now out of market.
In volume the sales OF 1915 will
eclipse the previous year by 20 per
cent, while the net profit will show
a gain of fully 30 per cent.

 HIT BY HURRICANE
Little Damage Done Ashore, But Shipping Likely
 to Suffer

Charleston, s. C., July 14-Comparatively little damage was done here and along the coast by the hurricane which swept the Carolina and Georgia coasts last night and early today.

A number of win dows were blown in here. hundreds of threes blown down and trolley, telephone and telegraph service was stopped by the high wind. At one time last night the hurricane ragged at GA miles an hour but did not get up to more than 42 miles an hour today. The barometer which fell early to 29.02. was rising steadily to- night.
 Damage along Charieston's water front, where shipping was tied up, was slight
 The passenger liner Lenape. from New York, continued on her way to Jackson vile late today She had been held here over night by the storm. The liner Arapahoe came in tonight from Jackson vile.

 The naval collier Hector. from Port Royal, S. C.. to Santo Domingo with 142 persons aboard. went down in shall low water off the Charleston light ship late Friday as a result of the 6O-miIe hurricane which swept a por- ton of the South Atlantic coast Thurs day night and Friday. The Hector, re- ported disabled in the blow about co miles off Charleston Friday. was try ing to make the harbor when she was run into shoal water.
 This information was brought to Charleston by Captain Hunt of the tug Vigiiani, who went to the Electors as- sistance, but could approach only within three miles of the vessel. He said the superstructure was visible above water, and that the steamer Alamo was standing by, but static conditions made wireless communication impossible. Confirmation of this report came later in a message to the navy department at Washington say ing that the Hector went down in shallow water off Charleston.
 Nothing to establish whether the crew

The message added that the collier was lowering her small boats, but did not say whether or not the 142 per sons on board had reached rescue ships in safety The message was filed at Charleston at o'clock this afternoon.
 The Hector was commanded by Capt. Joseph Newell and besides crew of 70 men and 12 officers, carried 60 marines who had been taken on at the Port Royal, S. C., naval training station, and who were to join commands in Santo Domin- go The collier was struck by the hur- ricane of last night and attempted to make Charleston, but was so badly dam- aged that she sank near the Charleston lghtship.
 Up to late tonight all efforts of the navy wireless to ascertain whether there had been loss of life in sinking of the Hector had been unavailing. series of calls for help from the collier, stopping abruptly at p. m., gave rise to grave fears for the safety of those aboard, but officials believed there still was possl- bility that they had escaped.

KITCHEN SEES PRESIDENT

Democratic Leader Kitchn reported to President Wilson today that with the passage of the corrupt practices bill the House will have completed the entire legislative programme suggested to Con- gress by the President. He asked if any additional legislation was desired, and MT Wilson replied that ne was satisfied with the work done by the House, and had no further recommendations.
 MT, Kitchin said suggestion that the House take three-day adjournments un- til the Senate had. caught up with its work had not met with general approval because it was necessary to stay in ses- sicn in order that conference reports be received. Therefore he said, the House would mark time by adjournins from day to day. He estimated that Con- gress should be able to adjourn by Au- gust 10.
 The legislative programme completed by the House included the Philippine and Porto Rican bills, preparedness leg islation, the revenue. Mississippi flood control, shipping, rural credits and con servation bills.

Washington, July 14.-The informal negotiations for settlement of the
 issues between the United States and General Carranza are understood to have advanced long step today when Acting Secretary Polk and Eliseo Are dondo, Mexican ambassador designate. held their third conference since Gen. eraI Carranza's proposal for a dplo- matic adjustment was received and &C., cepted.
 Although both Mir. Polk and the am- bassador declined to say what matters were under discussion, there were in- passed into the definite stage where specific questions were being formu- lated for probable submission to joint international commission.
 President Wilson discussed the ques- ton with some of his advisers today and the fact that no interruption of the Polk -Arredondo conference resulted was taken as an indication that the President was satisfied with the trend of the negotiations.
 Both MT. Polk and the ambassador are confident that an agreement will be reached soon. It is not known whether the powers of the negotiators finally decided upon will include authority to fix the time and condition under whicn American troops will be withdrawn. MT. Arredondo issued statement to- night warning against sensational stories published throughout this coun- try by those who desire intervention

HOUSE MARKS TIME AND SENATE WORKS Nothing to Indicate an Early Adjournment NEED CLOTURE RULE Present Situation in Upper Branch Again Revives Discussion of

 Legislation
LONDON SPHERE
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington July -(Special.)- House is marking time. The Senate is up to it's neck in work. There is noth- ing that would indicate an adjournment of Congress before September 1.
 The situation, one in which the Senate is again proved to be the stumbling block in the way of expediting legislation, has caused renewal of discussion relative to the necessity of modified rule of cloturo. There is every reason to be- lievc that at the beginning of next ses- sion, action will be taken to the end that senator may not longer be considered as tirless talker as the President is a letter writer
 The republicans have appointed a com mttee to confer with democrats regard ing the date of adjournment. They have expressed wonder whether or not we will be here until Christmas

SENATE DEMOCRATS
 ID CAUCUS AGAIN Legislative Programme to
 Be Fully Outlined AID OF REPUBLICANS
This Has Been Promised by Opposi- ton Leaders, Who Are Anxious for
 Early Adjournment-Some Bills Will Not Be Considered

Washington July A.--Senate democrats will caucus tomorrow night on the legis- lative programme for the remainder of the session. Some of them are making urgent appeals for consideration of special measures not included in the programme drawn up by party leaders, and democrat ic and republican conferees have been unable to agree on what measures should be disposed of before adjournment
 Early this week democratic and repub- lcan senators agreed to a programme including the appropriation, revenue, ship ping and corrupt practice bills There was no agreement, however on the child labor, workmen's compensation and immigration meausures and their champions now are insisting that they should not be de- ferred. Other democrats, including Sem ator Hoke Smith. are pressing for action on the vocational education bill, the suf- frage amendment and other measures.
 Senator Gallnger. the republican leader, told the Senate today that adjournment was entirely within the hands of the democrats and that the republicans would good naturedly cooperate in completing the programme and would resort to no obstructive tactics.
 Democratic leaders realize that final passage of the naval and army appro- priation bills and the revenue and ship ping measures alone will require four or five weeks. and that if many other measures are to be taken up, the must de abandoned.
 The House is expected to complete the legislative programme suggested by President Wilson by passage tomorrow of the Fucker corrupt practice bill. When Majority Leader Ktchin took a report on the situation to the White House today the President said he had nothing further to suggest. Several of the administration measures passed by the House are certain not to be reached by the Senate.
 Until the Senate is ready to adjourn the House will mark time, holding per functory daily sessions to receive con.
