BOY, a, MAKES
W|NN|NGF|GHT
WITH LOCKJANI
Watches Surgeon Cut OFF Four
Toes and Takes Record
Amount Of Serum.

Fourteen.year-old Russell Miller
is winning the fight for life he has
been making the past few days ut
Emergency Hospital. He has con-
quered an attack of lockjaw.
The boy, considered hero by
attending doctors and nurses at
the hospital. was injured two weeks
ago in an elevator accident at
Woodstock, Va, where he had been
working at creamery with his
father. He was brought to his
home. 6l5 ID street northwest, here.
and spent several days in pain,
having his wounded foot dressed
every other day.
According TO his aunt, Mrs. Bes-
sic Snow, in that time he watched
a doctor amputate all toes but one
on his cut foot without taking
anesthetic and without complain
ing. His condition grew steadily
worse, and he believed he had only
short time to live. He did not
give up. though. even when the
muscles of his neck and jaw ceased
to function.
Finally he was taken to the hos
pital. where doctors said there was
little hope for him. 1t was believed
an injection of tetanus antitoXin
would stave off death. and. as n
result. more than 100000 units of
the cure have been injected into
his body. For a strong man, 1t
is said. $4,000 units are generally
the limit taken. 1t is considered
remarkable this young boy has
survived such unusual treatment,
which was his only hope.
With his aged grandmother often
by his side, and his mother on
hand every time he takes an in.
lection. Russell has calmly turned
over without a Inurmur and sub
mitted to the painful treatment.
He realized 1t was hisN only chance
to live. he told his mother.
For DAYS being fed through n
tube, the boy is movable to feed
himself once more. and he is su.
premely happy again-as he tells
his aunt, It's because of my
prayers"

CONGRESS.MAY
OK. bONUSOVER
THREAT Of VETO
awmakers Defiant to Presi-
dents Wish Bill Should
Have Revenue Clause.
BY J. BART CAMPBELL.
Internat tionaI News Service.

Republican leaders are fearful To-
day that President Harding and
Congress are on the verge OF an
"open break" on the soldiers bonus.
The President has again served
notice that he will veto any bonus
bill that does not provide specially
for the raising of revenue to finance
the ex-service mems 'adJusted COM
pensation." He has reiterated that
he would prefer to have a sales tax
written into the bill II one must be
enacted.
The President has been informed
in turn that Congress will pass
over his veto whatever bill the
Senate and House agree upon finally
il he decides to withhold his ap-
proval of 1t.
The President emphasized his
stand on the bonus as final and
decisive" at a weekend conference
he had at the White House with
Senator Lodge, Republican leader
of the Senate. and other Admins
tration spokesmen, and wns as
frankly informed that a canvass Of
Congress showed clearly and un-
mistakably that there would not be
enough votes to sustain his veto
once a bonus bill was passed finally.
Some Republican leaders ex.
pressed the hope that the Nc
Cumber- -Fordney bonus bill, which
has been endorsed by the American
legion, can he so amended as to
secure the Presidents signature,
but the undercurrent Of opinion In
Congress is that in view of the
overwhelming opposition to the
sales tax in both Senate and House,
there Is not much chance Of this
being accomplished.
Administration "wh hips" are
frankly worried over the situation.
They would gladly defer final ac-
ton on the bonus until the next
session, so as to avoid the danger
of an open split between the Presi-
dent and the Republican majority
of Congress before the November
Congressional elections. Tn y
would welcome having the hill tied
up in conference after its expected
passage by the Senate until it
would be too late to send 1t TO the
President before the end OF this
session.

said Captain Oyster, "and the po.
lice will visit this tract Of land

The committee complained that
arresting the crap shooters" does
little good.
"They put up IS collateral and
then go right back to their game"
said DR.. Richardson.
"If arresting won't do any good,
then we'll see that a new regula-
ton is framed. Or IL we can't do
that we will change the present
