Man Who Swallowed BIZ
chloride of Mercury Does
Not Want to Die.
MIND SEEKS MASTERY
OVER LETHAL4 POISON
Loses Strength During Last
"a Hours hut Is Deter
mined to Live,

The life of w. II. Bingham, the
Chicago historian, who on Sunday
swallowed quantity of bichlodire OF
mercury at a local hotel is still hang
ing in the balance.
The man. whose strange case has
aroused unusual interest lies at st.
Patrick's hospital, under the vigilant
eyes OF physicians and nurses. That
he has lost strength during the last "a
hours is evident. But what the final
outcome will be none will predict He
may overcome the effect of the poison
and he may not.
Wants to Live.
Coupled now with the uncertainty
of the result, Mr.. bingham has ex-
pressed his desire to live. There in
his room in the hospital the man who,
In spirit of despondency swallowed
the tablets that mean almost certain
DEATH is battling against the result OF
his own act. But, in spite of his ar
dent wish, the drug seems to be maxi
ing its way throughout his system. al
though there Is no pain. This is one
of the characteristics of mercuric bi :
chloride when taken into the stomach.
From there Is spreads gradually to the
kidneys, causing o cessation OF their
fnnctioning. thereby causing acute
Rrieht's disease and speedy death.
Mr. Bingham was much refreshed
yesterday after night Of restful sleep.
He was more cheerful and the spell
OF depression that controlled him when
he took the poison had gone. Life
took on more rosy hue: it became
worth while. Now he does not want
to give 1t up
Mind VS.. Poison.
Owing TO his change Of heart the
case has developed into a fight between
mind and the caustic. The natural
assumption Is that the poison will win.
but with Mr.. Binghams determination
to live there is another force thrown
into the struggle the effect of which is
impossible to forecast.
Few cases have attracted more at
tention In Missoula than this unusual
one now being enacted. Nearly every
body is following the developments
with greatest interest. In most in
stances 1t takes from five to 10 days
for poison of this kind to cause death.
As Mr.. Bingham took the tablets on
Sunday the period of grace is over to-
day and death. II death IL is 10 be,
may come at any moment The next
few days will tell the story.

secretary Of foreign affairs. observed
that the negotiations would be facili-

Count czernn, the Austro- Hunga =
ran foreign minister, noted with sat
isfaction that by Trotzkys recognition
Of the existence and independence of
the Polish state the standpoints of
each side appeared to have been
brought into greater unison but he was
unable 10 admit that the question
whether the existing Polish govern
ment was authorized to represent the
Polish state could be submitted to ar
btration to a third government.
Both Count Czernin and DIR. Won
kuehimann protested that they had
not come to engage In an intellectual
wrestling match, and at the close. the
German secretary explained that ne
