ASSERT POWER OVER DEATH
TWO East Indians Mako Extraordi-
nary Claims, Naturally some-
what Hard to Prove.

The dead can be brought TO life.
This remarkable claim has Just been
made by woman doctor Of Rang0on
(Burma).
She claims to have prepared certain
remedies, which are to be taken In
ternally and applied externally for a
week, at the end OF which any dead
person will revive! As may be ex-
pected. she keeps her remedies se-
cret and she will bot disclose their
ingredients to anybody, writes s. II.
Banerjea of Calcutta.
She further claims that the dead
person, when revived, win have new
mind and better features. The treat
ment to be completely successful
must be continued for a month or two.
The Burmese doctor has created a
sensation In the country. Some are
scofiing at her, while others are urg-
ing the authorities TO test her claims.
In this connection. I may state that
some time ago Hindu doctor made
similar claim and requested me to
secure a dead body for him. Now, no
Hindu or Mussulman will allow any
experiment to be made on the dead
body of a near and dead relative.
Their religion forbids such expert
menting. Soon after the doctor had
asked my help, distinguished Hindu
knight, whom l knew, died. was
urged to sound his relatives. i did
sound them. but my request was re-
jected. approached certain doc
tors, but they all laughed at me and
refused to help me.
The Hindu doctor, I regret to say,
will not disclose his mode OF treat
ment. He will not charge anything.
He wants to be judged by his results,
But who will care to help himI

In this township two regular old
time scraps lent considerable interest
to the electoral contest. Firstly,
Joseph A. Leadley, who was beaten
in the caucus for the nomination,
made the race on slips, and the way
the people rallied to his support
shows very plainly that the approve
and appreciate his work in the past.
Making the race all by himself, he
ran like boy from melon patch.
The electors pasted his stickers all
over the tickets, even on the presi-
Dental ballots, so that he came
mighty nigh beating Hiram johnson
and being nominated for the presi-
dency. The total vote in both pre-
cincts Of the township was 4S1, of
which 247 were in Mr.. Leadley's
favor, and if all of his slips appearing
on the ballots had been properly
placed these figures would have been
considerably increased. The second
contest in this election was for the
Office of township treasurer. Here
Geo. Mckenzie, Democrat, made the
opposition step some to get away
with the goods, being defeated by
but forty votes. The officers elect

Benton of the Association of State Railroad Commissioners, sharply criticised the argument advanced by the sarriers than any valuation of the roads found 10 be less than the zeKre- gate accounts would be a blow to the financial centers of the world.
 Representatives of the shippers ren- erally concurred in the proposals of the carriers that the book accountss' be considered by advised that they be checked in the light of the other attenuation available to the commits sion. Expressing themselves as moro concerned with the development of transportation facilities to meet the needs of the country than in the mat ter of rates. the shippers confine their recommendation mainly to the ques- tion of the grouping of the roads for | rate-fixing purposes.

OPERATORS TO REPLY

New York, March 3.-The anthra- cite mine operators notified the mine workers late today that they would reply tomorrow night at 8 o'clock to the proposal of the coal diggers to remain ct work after April l, pend ing negotiation of a new wage agree ment, providing the operators agree to make any wage award retroactive to that date.'
 Unless new wage agreement is reached by April 1, when the present contract expires, the reply of the an- thracite operators will determine whether there will be a suspension of work in the hard coal region after that date. The general scale con- mittee of c-e miners, by virtually a unanimous vote today decided that they would not remain in the mines at the expiration of the present agreement unless the employers agreed to make any wage award re- treactive.
 The decision of the mine workers was presented to tn eoperators this afternoon at a meeting of the sub committee of miners and operators to negotiate new wage agreement.

GOVT. GIVES UP CONTROL
 OF SOFT COAL PRICES

Washington, March 3.-With a warning against profiteering, Presi dent Wilson today ordered abandon sment of government control over bi- tuminolih control overChair- -denthw
 luminous coal prices and asked min eA1 and operators to negotiate q new working agreement on the basis of the majority report of the coal strike settlement commission.
 The president ordered termination of private control on April when the
 new working agreement becomes eff
 fectiye. This will permit at least
 partial absorption in coal prices of the
 increase in miners wages, establish ed at twenty seven per cent. by the
 commissions majority report. The
 increase in wages the commission es- { timated will entail an annual cost of
 $20e, 000,0 and includes the fourteen
 per cent. increase awarded the miners in settling the recent strike. The operators, however. were re- minded by the president that unreas- enable prices must not result from the relinquishment of price control and the addition of increased wages to 1 their expenses.
 The date Of the joint conference oi operators and miners to formulate a new wage agreement had not been set tonight. John l.. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers ot America, while awaiting a conference with officers of his union on the mat ter, said the miners were ready an6 willing to participate in a meetine with the operators.
