Q r- Alexis Carrel Tells of Ex
periments in Advanced Snr- .
gical Operations.
\j;\\ YORK, Nov. 15. —Dr. Alexis
' r , of th* Rockefeller institute, who
just been awarded the Nobel prize
<, r i rk in surgery, in a lecture recent
v Mid 'f results in transplanting liv
ijg organs and the progress that has
t>. °n n'l*? by surgeons engaged in these
experiment.'.
Ill; the first experiments explatn-
Dr. Carrel was of a recently dis
.... method of blood transfusion,
L, omplished by means of a gold
i'ated silver tube through which blood
w ijj flow from a vein to an artery with.
cu t '.lusing coagulation. Previously it
> a ,i b>-n contended, Dr. Carrel said,
|hat eagulation must take place in this
method of transfusion.
The successful transplantation of an
ear from a dog that had been killed
, r the purpose to the head of another
, e - w - also explained by Dr. Carrel.
The veins were washed free of blood
before the ear was sewed into place,
but pulsations were noticed within a
few hours, Dr. Cjtrrel said, showing
that proper circulation was being es
tablished. The ’circulation was com
plete and the operation successful with
in twenty days.
Experimentation Difficult.
Another experimentation has been
found difficult because of the inability
of the animal to remain perfectly quiet.
So much has this been so, Dr. Carrel
said that a day and night nurse for
animals upon which operations have
been performed have been necessary. It
has been found also, he said, that in
many cases, after eight or ten days
have elapsed, the dog feels a reaction
against the new limb or organ that has
been supplied, although the transplant,
ed parts are performing the functions
satisfactorily.
Dr. Carrel explained the removal from
k dog of one kidney and the. replacing
later of the same organ. One month
after the operation the dog was exam
ined again and the organ found to be
performing its normal functions. Later
both kidneys were removed from the
same dog. One of them, which had
been out of the dog’s body for an hour,
was replaced. A picture of the dog,
taken tv. ■ yers later, was shown by
Dr Carrel. Th*- dog was jumping in
the air for a piece of meat.
Not Sure About Humana.
The difficulty that has been experi- i
enced in applying these operations to I
human beings, according to Dr. Carrel, i
is that the surgeons have been unable j
to ascertain, whether the organs of one I
individual will perform the same func- •
’ions for another, although, he said, an
operation was parti} successful by
which both kidneys were removed from
u eat and the animal supplied with the
organs of another. Frequently, how
ever, degeneration of the arterial sys
tem develops, as in the case of the cat,
and it died from premature old age.
One of the greatest difficulties now
being encountered, Dr. Carrel explain- |
ed, is finding away by which to pre- I
serve tissue or organs alive so that they
will be available when most needed.
Cold storage has been found capable of
keeping blood vessels alive for as long
as three months, and skin that has been
kept in this manner for six weeks sub- ;
sequently has been used in grafting
operatjons.
I' has also been found that the
heart, lung, stomach and other organs
way be kept alive for short periods
simply by supplying oxygen to the
lunge,’ Dr. Carrel said, "but the prob
lem is to cause life to remain in these
organa and tissues indefinitely.'’

Law Explodes Balloon and Drops to River
DYNAMITES HIMSELF IN AIR
Daring Parachute Jumper Ex
plodes the Big Gas Bag and
Risks His Neck.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—a big dun
colored balloon floated slowly over the
Hudson from the Jersey shore toward
New York Tuesday. Tens of thousands
of persons watched It. On a trapeze
swung below it a man was seated.
The balloon was about 500 feet in the
air and opposite 127th street, when —
Boom! Boom!
Two loud explosions sounded. In
stantly after the explosion a cloud of
dense black smoke enveloped the bal
loon and hid the man on the cross-bar
under it.
1 hrough the thick smoke flashes of
fire darted, for the balloon was in
flames. As the smoke curled up and
formed a huge mushroom, the man
dropped from the cross-bar. For 200
feet he fell like a stone while the peo
ple nearest the shore gasped.
Then the big parachute which the
man carried unfolded and, clinging to
it, he dropped gently in the Hudson.
Really, it was all very thrilling and
if you were not there to see it, you
will be able to see it soon. For it was
a moving picture stunt. He of the
trapeze and the parachute was Hodman
Law, who tor a sufficient sum of money
will take his life in his hands at any
time.
His balloon had been inflated with
heated naptha gas. Seated on the
trapeze the daring Law held a string
attached to a trigger above him—when
he pulled the string the trigger set off a
small charge of dynamite which ignited
the highly inflammable gas.
As Law fell into the river the tug
Libble sped to hint, on the tug were

operators hud been very busy, indeed
//- i
// ißr wiSR
and continued to be for a while. For
Law floated near the tag as if be was
senseless, inanimate, dead —all very
realistic, very.
Law received SI,OOO to risk his life
this time, but lie paid bis own expenses.
He insisted that his demonstration had
scientific value. He proved, he said,
that Melvin Vaniman and his four voy
agers, who were killed when Vanitnan’s
great dirigible balloon exploded off At
lantic City, might have been saved had
they taken proper precautions against
such an accident. Law wore knit wool,
en garments saturated in a liquid
which, he says, resists fire. Under his
woolen hood he wore a football player's
helmet. A life-preserver was strapped
around his waist.
“When the gas exploded," said he,
"it. was as if somebody had hit me over
the shoulders with a baseball bat.”
The backs of Law h hands were
scorched.
“How stupid," said he. "I should have
worn gloves.”
MINERS FIRE ON TRAIN
OF STRIKE BREAKERS;
MARTIAL LAW AGAIN
CHARLESTON, W. VA„ Nov. 15. —
As a result of striking miners firing on
a train late yesterday bearing private
detectives and strikebreakers. Governor
Glasscock will probably declare martial
law in the strike zone again.
The battle occurred al Cabin Creek
junction and over 400 shots were ex
changed. Reports received here this
morning were to the effect that seven
miners were shot and badly wounded
by the railway police and two of the
strikebreakers were struck.
GEORGIA NEGROES PLAN
NATIONAL EXPOSITION
MACON. GA.. Nov. 14 —Negroes of
Georgia, headed by R. R Wright, of Sa

to be held in either Atlanta or Macon.
The negroes will have the support of
Congressmen Bartlett. Hughes and Ed

bers of congress to also endorse the plan.
They say that with $250,000 an exposi
tion, which will adequately illustrate the
development of the negro race during the
last 50 years, can be held.

Atlanta Proves Its Infinite Variety of Weather
PROPHETS BRING CHILL
Jnst to prove Atlanta's infinite varie
ty and establish her claim to having
more different kinds of weather in a
week than any other city between Ken
nebec and Albuquerque. Professor C.
F. Von Herrmann, proprietor of the lo
cal cave of the winds, served up a dish
right off the ice today in honor of Wil
lis L. Moore, chief of the national bu
reau, and eighteen forecasters from va
rious states. It was 35 degrees above
zero at breakfast time, the coolest
morning of the fall.
“It is fine,” spake the first forecaster
who came out on the veranda for a bit
of fresh air. “Only I didn’t bring my
overcoat.”
Uncle Hi Suggs, the veteran unoffi
cial prophet of Battle Hill, who was
still waiting for a conference with Pro.
fessor Moore, snorted in derision.
Uncle Hi Knew It.
"Listen at that,” he remarked.
"Weather prophet caught in the cold
without no overcoat. My sister Miran
dy's oldest boy went squirrel huntin'
and forgot his gun, but he ain't quite
right in his head. I seen this cold snap
a-comin’ a week ago. Didn’t I predict
ir. yestiddy? Yes, sir; when you see
| a hawg rootin’ a deep wallow in the
fence corner this time-a-year, it’s time
to tote in a box full of wood and liev
your kindlin' split and ready.”
i Yesterday’s prediction for today was
I "fair,” but no reference was made to
j the wisdom of putting an extra blanket
ion the bed. Most of the experts inter
viewed refrained from expressing an
opinion on the cause of the drop in
temperature, except, to remark I hat a
marked diminution of the perpendicular
altitude of the closely confined column
of mercury might easily be expected
to be manifested in the period between
the autumnal equinox and the Easter
parade. But other forecasters were not
hesitatnt in expressing their opinions
as to the cause of the cold.
Change After March.
"The cold wave which spread from
Ohio eastward and culminated in the
white house has turned southward,”
said the expert from Mississippi. “It
may be expected to chill the atmos
phere in the local postoffice and cus
toms house and pass on. You may
count on marked changes shortly after
March ♦."
"After careful study. I am convinced
that the condition is purely local," said
another. “It made its appearance im
mediately after the return of James G.
Woodward, and had its origin in the
' epidemic of cold feet in the city hall.”
Asked for a forecast for tomorrow
land Sunday, the experts held an execu.
| • ivo cum "ret and issued the follow i> g
| ;•< port:
j “If the thermometer shows a tenden-
cy toward altitudinous demonstration
within the next 24 hours, this section
reasonably may anticipate an increased
temperature, provided, of course, that
the clouds do not obscure the sun and
the wind stays in its natural habitat of
Kansas an contiguous territory. The
day will be bright and fair unless it
rains.”
Crop Bulletins Urged.
if the weather men succeed in per
suading the agricultural department to
issue weekly weather bulletins ami
forecasts to farmers, the get-rich-quick
speculators who fake crop reports and
pull down prices won't find business so
good, according to the experts who
close their conference today. The fore
casters adopted resolutions urging a
resumption of the weekly crop bulle
tins, and these will bo presented to the
secretary of agriculture by Professor
Willis L. Moore, chief of the bureau.
“It is hoped that ho government will
decide to issue these bulletins again."
said Professor Moore. “If this is done,
they will be the most complete ever
handled. The data will be gathered by
telegraph (nice a week and be correct
right up to the day of issuance. The
farmer will know the exact condition
of all crops all over the country.”
As a result of the Atlanta conference,
the department will be asked t o estabi
lish in Washington a separate division
of agricultural meteorology tor the pur
pose of studying weather conditions,
witli especial reference to th< effect of
weather on crops. The bureau is anx
ious to co-operate thoroughly with the
state agricultural colleges and experi
ment stations.

DALY TELLS W
HEMADECHARGE
Doctor Lecites Incident Which
Led to Imbroglio at Battle
Hill Sanitarium.
Dr. Richard R. Daly replied today to
the statement of Superintendent Mer
ritt, of the Bat\ e Hill sanitarium, that
he should prove his hints of improper
conduct at the tuberculosis home or ad
mit he lied. Dr. Daly said:
“At the last meeting of the investi
gating committee, when the discussion
took place, I asked to be put upon the
stand and be allowed to make the
statement Dr. Merritt desired. The
chairman said that no new witnesses
were to be heard, and Mr. McClelland,
to whom I made the request, did not
press the matter.
"Since then comments have been fre
quent and annoying, and I beg to be
relieved of them by making the follow
ing statement:
Patient Was Feeble.
“Shortly after Ahe sanitarium opened
I was asked there by the superintend
ent to see a man who was suffering
with tubercular throat trouble. I saw
him in a room near the porch, and told
Dr. Merritt a£ the time the patient was
too feeble for extended treatment un
less he was in bed. As soon as I had
finished I said that the man should be
helped back to the ward, because he
was in a bad way.
“Dr. Merritt said to let him alone;
that he could get back all right by him
self, and took me to the porch, where
1 sat down to wait till lie had attended
to some other matters. While sitting
there a nurse called to me that the man
in the nearby room was on the floor
and unable to move, I went in to see
him and assisted in getting him to the
ward. My only comment at the time
was that such patients should be treat
ed in bed, or else that a wheel table
should be provided to take them to the
examination room.
Mistake Was Possible.
"The institution was new, and one
could not expect all of the facilities of a
fully equipped place to be present.
"When I gave my testimony I was
asked if I had ever seen anything my
self that I did not approve of at the
I sanitarium. 1 answered that only once
I had I seen any such thing, and it might
I have been a mistake: sb 1 would not
mention it. Evidently, my remark lias
i been interpreted as having a different
i kind of allusion. As a fact, it referred
to the incident as delineated above.
“I regret that so much personal mat
ter lias been injected into this affair.
The subject of the care and preven
tion of tuberculosis, which is killing
I over 400 annually in Atlanta, should
I not be so obscured."

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS

Former Governor and United States
i Senator Joseph Meriwether Terrell is
| very sick at his home in Juniper street.
I and his friends are
I most uneasy con
i corning him.
The senator has
I made a brave and
prolonged fight to
recover from the
stroke of paralysis
he sustained in
Washington some
eighteen months
ago, and thou

gians have watoh
ed his efforts to

ious and abiding

The senator re-
L j
sumed the prac
tice of law in Atlanta after he retired
from the senate, and made such visits
to h’is offices in the Forsyth building as
his weakened physical condition would
permit. For a time, too, he seemed to
improve, and his friends took heart.and
began to hope that, after all, “Old Joe,”
as they always have called him most
affectionately, might come back to form
again.
The undertaking seems to have been
too much tor him. however —and now
he is not doing so well, and has lost
heart in away, and is a very Hi man,
indeed.
There never sat in the governor's
chair of this state a more loyal or lov
able man than Joseph M. Terrell. Long
before he was made governor he was
the state’s attorney general, and the
state had in Terrell in that capacity an
official always accommodating and ef
ficient. No governor ever had about
him an official family—through both of
his administrations —that respected him
more or was more genuinely fond of
him. Whatever he did as governor he
did from the best and purest of motives
—one may be very sure of that—and
such political mistakes as he may have
made, or as some people may have
thought he made, were, if mistake at
all, mistakes of the head, and never of
the heart.
A big, brave, lovable, generous-heart
ed man is Jo-epii Meriwether Terrell—
and there ..re many, many Georgians
who are longing to hear yet that he has
beaten back disease and once again is
on the way to recovery. His career has
been most distinguished and useful and
Georgia would rejoice to see him well
and strong once more. He still is far
from being an old man.
State Entomologist Lee Worsham.
I who lias been making an official tour of
| south Georgia, gives it as his opinion
that unless something Is done to change
the present status of affairs, sea island
cotton growing is doomed in Georgia,
except on a few islands adjacent to the
state.
Discussing this matter, Mr. Worsham
says:
"The coming of the boll weevil sounds
the death knelb of sea island cotton
within the next few years, except on
the islands themselves. We may be
able to keep these free of the pest, but
then will be no sea island raised at
all in counties like Tattnall and Bul
loch within the next three or four years.
"Tlie iioll weevil is certain to strike
Georgia next year. It is coming this
way at such a rapid rate that its ad
vent before another crop Is raised may
be looked for with certainty. The weevil
1.- now within 45 miles of tlie Georgia
line. It will take three years additional
for the pest to reach the coast.
"There is nothing that can stop the
inroads of tlie weevil, and when they
reach the sea island cotton section that
class of staple might just as sell be
abandoned. It takes too long to raise a
sea island cotton crop to save it from
the weevil. The only kind of cotton
that Is weevil proof is one that matures
quickly.”
The next legislature will be asked to
take very seriously in hand the matter
j of the boll weevil in Georgia, as all au
thorities now agree that the state can
not hope to be kept free of the pest
much longer.
What the legislature will do about
the matter, however, is—well, highly
problematical, anyway!
"Much depends upon the way one
looks at things,” said Congressman
Gordon Lee, who Is an Atlanta visitor
today "particularly after things have
happened and th* looking is in retro
spect.

rans;' he says his defeat was brought
about largely because the ‘avenues of
publicity were in a large measure
choked,’ so far as he was concerned.
“To me that seemed a pretty vicious
backslap at tlie newspapers—for if the
newspapers ever were kind to anybody
in the matter of publicity, they have
been exceedingly kind to Mr. Roose
velt.
"On the contrary, I notice Mr. Wilson
quoted as having said recently: ‘I find
much that is instructing, uplifting, use
ful and entertaining in the newspapers,
and I never fail to read carefully the
editorials, frequently’ profiting much
thereby.’
"Looks to me as If T. R. may be a
little sore, whereas Wilson is very' well
satisfied, with the newspapers. Seems
to me, too, that Wilson’s remark should
make him mighty solid with the press.
The Savannah News voices a univer
sal protest throughout the state of
Georgia when it says, in a recent issue:
The statement that funds in the
state treasury are at a low ebb and
that it is difficult to find enough for
necessary expenses reveals no new
condition of affairs. There will be
but little money in the treasury
until the tax money begins to come
■in late in December. Meanwhile,
the school teachers have not been
paid and the state has been forced
to borrow a large sum. With a
wealthy and prosperous common
wealth, whose property values in
crease many millions of dollars
every year, this kind of financiering
is childish. With proper legisla
tive foresight, all the state's obliga
tions could be met, Its institutions
cared for and a comfortable balance
kept in the treasury for emergen
cies. It all depends on the people—
upon the sort of men they elect to
represent them.
The legislature will be asked to pro
vide for Georgia a state board of tax
equalizers, as it generally is adinltte<l
that the state’s present extremely loose
methods of returning its taxable prop
erty furnish innumerable loopholes for
ts.x-dodgers and evaders.
It is a fact that If the state of Geor
gia could collect the tax that righteous
ly and justly is due her—which now
she assuredly does not—the question of
paying the teachers and promptly liqui
dating the state’s remaining obliga
tions would be a problem of compara
tively easy solution.
And the state would have a com
fortable working balance left, at that.
A south Georgia editor, straining his
eyes and his ears toward Atlanta, re
marks that his city should "fire the
smoke board!”
That motion already has been made
in several quarters, but as yet it has
not been carried.
