Surgical Ordeal to
Mend Diaphragm.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FALL RIVER, Mass, April GA
difficult and comparatively rare opera
tion was performed today on Jimmy
Nelson, 13-year- San Jose, Calf,
victim of ruptured diaphragm. All
that could be learned of the cheerful
little lads condition tonight was that
the operation was satisfactorily COM
pleted."
Several of his organs were trans
ferred from his left chest cavity to
their proper positions and tear in
his diaphragm-them muscular partition
separating the chest from the stomach
cavity-was closed.
In some respects the operation was
more serious than that performed at
the same hospital about a month ago
on Alyce Jane McHenry, 10, of Omaha,
Nebr.
Jimmy's stomach had expanded to
more than twice its normal size and
had intruded in the left chest cavity,
although it was not upside down. as
in Alyce's case. The intestines ap-
pendiX and spleen also had invaded
| the left chest, collapsing the lung.
Jimmy approached the ordeal calmly
and courageously.
More than 40 prominent surgeons
witnessed the operation. but their
names and those of the specialists who
operated on the boy were withheld.
Alyce Jane has recovered to such
an extent that she spent a consider
a h1e mart of the day walking about
her room.

PERJURY CHARGED
TO BRUNO WITNESS
Heller to Be Tried at Pennington,
N. j., Week of April 26 for
Story About Fisch.
By the Associated Press.

PENNINGTON, ~ j.. April g.
Benjamin Heller. defense witness for
Bruno Richard Hauptmann. will be
tried for perjury during the week of
April 26 in the same court room where
two months ago he swore he saw the
late Isador Fisch flee the Bronx ceme-
terry where the $4,000 Lindberg ram
som was paid.
Heller pleaded not guilty to the
perjury indictment today when he was
arraigned. He posted bail of $4,000
and was released.
A possibility he would be defended
by the New Jersey attorneys on the
Hauptmann defense staff was virtually
eliminated when a New York lawyer,
Irving A. Ormeland, appeared for him.
Heller said he saw Fisch leave St.
Raymond's Cemetery about the time
the ransom was handed over. Heller
said he was parked by the cemetery
wall on the night in question.
The State produced a rebuttal wit
ness who said he and Heller had been
involved in an auto accident that
night in midtown Manhattan. 8 miles
from the cemetery, at the time Heller
testified he was parked by the
cemetery.

for the mailing of the poem, whicl
goes:
Here's to the Red of it
There's not a thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it
In all the spread of it.
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it
But feels the might of it
Through day and night?
Womanhood'S care for it
Made manhood dare for it,
Purity's pray'r for it
Keeps it so White.
Here's to the Blue of it
Beauteous view of it,
Heavenly hue of it,
Star-spangled dew of it,
Constant and true:
Diadems gleam for it,
States stand supreme for it.
Liberty's beam for it
Brigthens the Blue.
Here's to the Whole of it
Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Body and soul of it,
o, and the roll of it
Sun shining through;
Hearts in accord for it
Swear by the sword for it,
Thanking the Lord for it,
Red, White and Blue.

Ground Work for Army Air
Corps Venture Gets
Under Way.

RAPID CITY. S. OAK, April g.
Groundwork for the 1885 National
Geographic Army Air Corps strato-
sphere expedition got under way in
earnest today with two of the three
man fight teams inspecting the
Black Hills bowl where the giant bal
loon will be moored for the venture.
Capt. Orvil A. Anderson, copilot Of
last Summers ascension and pilot
this year, arrived from Amarillo, Tex,
Friday and joined Capt. Randolph
P. Williams, ground officer who has
been surveying the site.
Concrete will be poured early next
week in the 4foot holes dug in
circles at the bowl to provide an
chorage during imitation of the bag.
Helium Ready for Shipping.
Both officers will remain until mid
week, supervising changes in equip
ment and directing preliminary
arrangements for the stratosphere
camp to be set up in early May.
Capt. Anderson has been directing
the preparation of heiium at Amarillo.
Four carloads are ready for shipment.
Plans for the flight generally dupli-
cate those made for the expedition
which last year nearly ended in trag-
edy when the bag ripped and forced
descent over Nebraska
Gondola to Be Larger.
A larger gondola will be used. and
many of the instruments and ballast
bags will be outside. but weight and
content will be approximately the
same.
One instrument has been added to
rest the conductivity of the upper air,
to determine whether air at higher
attitudes conducts electricity as read
lily as does the ground or whether it
acts as an insulator, as does the lower
atmosphere.
The balloon will be larger. of diff
ferent shape and heavier. The cloth
is being rubberiZed and cured at twice
the heat used in 1884. reducing pos
sibility of adhesion. Two valves op-
Grated by compressed air will be
supplied in place of the two which
last year were operated by COM
pressed air and by rope.
