New Device for Saving Human Life
VIII Be Carried in Ambulance
Is Compact Affair.
CITY HOSPITAL GETS MACHINE
1t Is Expected That Many Children
VIII Be Saved by Use of In
FAINT Apparatus.

The city of Moline yesterday pur-
chased new device for saving human
life, said by doctors and other sci
entlflc men to be the most efficient
machine OF its kind. 1t will be used
IN the police department.
1t is known as the "1ungmotor," and
is entirely different from the pulmotor
although used for the same purpose
1t has been highly recommended by
the American Medical association and
is used by the United States govern
ment in its bureau of mines.
Hereafter this machine will always
be carried in the police ambulance
1t is SO compact that it is contained
in suitcase and SO can be attached
to the ambulance without taking up
much room. Cost of the machine IS
$3.50
The Moline city hospital also pur-
chased a small lungmotor, for use in
the maternity home, yesterday, at a
cost of $3.50. 1t is expected that this
little machine will save the lives OF
many babies, born apparently dead
The infant lungmotor is in use in all
great hospitals in the United States
and one New York hospital reports
that it not only uses the machine every
day in the year, but that to date it has
never lost case. In the Bellevue
hospital alone there are nine of the
machines.
Demonstration for Doctors.
A demonstration to large number
of Moline physicians was conducted
yesterday afternoon by P. C. Dudley
representing the Life Saving Device
company of Chicago. Last evening he
conducted another demonstration al
the Moline police station, which was
attended by several physicians in ad
dition to members of the police force

An exaggerated incident which occurred recently
when a Siamese prince visited Honolulu has been
spread widely through the mainland press with
criticism of the custom service herea criticism the
customs men do not deserve, since what occurred
was due TO the mistaken zealousness of an immigfa
ton officer. -.- IL
When the prince came down the gangplank an
Immigration official jumped to the conclusion that
he was an Oriental who should not be allowed
ashore and as the incident is told here pushed His
Royal Highness back to the deck When the prince
reached San Francisco the happening was exagger-
ated into a scuffle during which the prince was hit
by the officers fist
Though the story is much Oyerdone. what the New
York journal of Commerce says of its effect is not
exaggerated This paper comments:
