AFTER FREEZING
Johns Hopkins Scientists Con
duct Experiments Seeming to
Indicate a Latent Existence.
BALTIMORE. May 31.—Recent in
vestigations in the histological and
psychological laboratories of the
Johns Hopkins Medical School
strongly Indicate a third state, in
termediate between life and death,
which apparently comprises the prin
ciples of both.
The fact that life in various and
many organisms may be suspended
by freezing in liquid air and by other
processes, and the possibility of re
suscitating these organisms after a
period of several weeks, or even
months, gives color to many interest
ing conjectures.
Latent Life State.
There is a state known as “latent
life,” in which the organisms, having
every appearance of being lifeless,
nevertheless again manifest vital
characteristics.
Bacteria, the lowest plant organ
isms, have enormous powers of re
sisting conditions that tend to death.
Bacteria of various diseases are seen
in the laboratory frozen at a tem
perature of liquid air of 360 degrees
Fahrenheit. They do not die, as a
rule, but survive this extremely
drastic treatment, and retain their
specific vital pathogenic character
istics.
There are instances where cold
blooded animals, such as frogs and
toads, snails, and even fish, have had
their lives suspended by this freezing
process, sometimes so thoroughly that
their intestines can be taken out, and
yet, on being “thawed out” after a
period of weeks, revive most actively.
‘These animals are perfectly normal
when ’placed in a refrigerating Jar
just large enough to hold one animal.
The jar is filled with liquid air at a
certain temperature, and after a
short time the animals appear life
less. A month later they are re
moved, and on being massaged show
signs of life, often reviving com
pletely.
Life After Death.
From these experiments no claim is
made that after death life can be re
stored, but it is held that in many
instances where life is thought to be
extinct it is only masked, and it re
mains for the scientists to discover,
through experiment, whether they
are dealing with death itself or with
latent life.
As stated by one deeply interested
ih the work in the warm-blooded
animals, even man himself, one dot|
not find such extreme instances of
suppression of vitality as in the case
of lower organisms, creatures with
more sluggish and, therefore, less
easily deranged, metabolism. Hence
the theories are not yet applied to
humanity.
The interesting inference drawn
from these cases of latent life or
suspended animation is that, though
vitality cannot be said to have van
ished.' yet the organism during all
that time is not taking food, oxygen
or water. It is not giving out carbon
dioxide or water or other chemical
results of life. It is not moving of its
own volition, and in the higher ani
mals both the cardiac and respiratory
activities are in abeyance.
Heart Renews Energy.
Some interesting and successful ef
forts were recently made in the
medical school to revive the appar
ently dead heart of an animal, as
explained by Dr. Alexis Carrel, who
lectured before the students. In
about live cases out of ten the heart
of a chicken took on renewed energy
several hours after death. Imme
diately after death the heart was
frozen and preserved. Later it was
resuscitated by massage.
Parcel Post Carries
Dog to Its New Owner
Boy Ships Puppy by Mail Because
It Has Always Been a Male
Dog.
PETERS, NEB., May 31.—Master
Richard Peters sold a dog a few days
ago tb E. A. Markwalder. of Schill,
and having no other means of deliv
ering the animal, decided to send him
by mail. , . ..
The dog weighed ten and one-half
pounds, so he bought fifteen cents
worth of parcel post stamps at the
postofflee here. Tying an address tag
to the dog’s neck, he affixed the
stamps and awaited the mail carrier.
The carrier came along, but made
some objection to receiving the (log,
saying, “It is against the rules to
mail a dog."
Little Richard was ready for him,
however, with this answer: "Well,
this has been a male dog ever since
I had him, so you will have to take
him along.”
The carrier laughed and consented
to carry the animal. Richard has
since heard from the new owner
that the dog arrived safely.
HYSTERICAL MOTHER LAUGHS
5 HOURS WITHOUT STOPPING
KANSAS CITY, May 31.—Three
children of Mrs. Jennie Kitchel are 111
with the measles at their home. 2223
locust Street. The fourth is just re
covering from pneumonia. They have
squired the mother’s constant atten
tion for the last month.
One afternoon Mrs. Kitchel tried to
rest on the couch in the same room
with the children. The husband. Al
bert Kitchel, a laborer, hearing peals
of laughter coming from the sick
room, entered and found his wife sit
ting on the couch laughing. He tried
to talk to her. but she could not stop
laughing long enough. The husband
tried in vain to stop her. She laughed
almost five hours.
Finally Kitchel ran to the General
Hospital for a physician. Dr. E. Mor-
ley. after working with the hysterical
woman about 20 minutes, stopped the
laughing. He said the mental strain
of the last month had been too much
and the spell of hysterics took the
form of laughing.
Woman Senator Comes to Aid Eastern Suffragists C
Calls Housekeeping Big Help in Legislative Work
Mrs. Robinson, of Colorado State
Senate, Secured Passage of
Minimum Wage Scale.
A WOMAN 'S RECIPES FOR
MAKING LAWS
American Puts Half Score of
Australians Who Tackle Him
to Flight.
“I think I have been successful
in this business of legislating be
cause I did not cherish the idea
that the Fate of the Nation rested
on my shoulders.”
“If it weren’t for what I know
about housekeeping we might
still be in session.”
“I believe that my greatest ser
vice was in just keeping an eye
on the detail of the bills. I made
sure they were punctuated prop
erly.”
NEW YORK, May 31.—Suffragist
leaders of the East have imported
a living example to help in their cam
paign for votes in the person of Sena
tor Helen Ring Robinson, of Colorado,
the first and at present the only
American woman senator in captivity.
Mrs. Robinson was a member of the
Colorado State Senate at Its last ses
sion. and in addition to several other
laws she was the author and chief
backer of the Minimum Wage law.
That woman’s training as a house
keeper or in any other line that she
may have been educated in early life
is helpful too her in a State legisla
ture is the contention of Mrs. Robin
son, and she has a record to back
up her statement.
“Housekeeping!’’ declares the Sen
ator, breezily. “Every one of those
hundred and five days that l was in
session I gave thanks that 1 did know
something about housekeeping.
“Of course, I was an authority on
the subject. And you'd be surprised
to know how many chances there are
to apply that knowledge. I remember
one bill in particular which was de
signed to cut down the amount al
lotted to the.prisons for food. One
of my eminent colleagues got up and
made an eloquent hullabaloo about
starving the poor prisoner. ‘Consid
er,’ he demanded, 'consider, gentle
man, how far 35 cents a day would
go in feeding each one of you.’
Fed Husband on Less Than 35 Cents.
“I couldn’t stand that, you know,”
announced the Senator from Colorado,
breezily. • “I just got right up and
said I had considered, and I would
guarantee that I could feed any one
of those Senators—not convicts, but
Senators—for less than 35 cents a
day, and that I fed my husband for
less than that, and if they thought
he didn’t seem well fed they could
ask him.
“Now, you know, there wasn’t a
man there who could get up and say
he knew more about that sort of
thing than I did, and not seem mighty
foolish. Of course we killed the bill,”
concluded Senator Robinson, with
emphasis on the “we.”
“Really, if it weren’t for what I
know about housekeeping and when
to apply it, we might still be in ses
sion. There was a time when the
Colorado Senate sat for ninety days
and no more. Now it has been made
an indeterminate sentence. We had
been thrashing a bill about for days
and * prolonging the session. I
knew that it was time I was
getting back to my garden and these
men should be getting back to their
business, and I knew that two months*
discussion would not settle that bill.
Did Some Figuring.
“So 1 did some figuring and It help
ed to end the session. 1 got up and
showed these weary gentlemen that
the discussion was costing just 93
cents a minute and for a bill that
would never get through, two months
at 93 cents a minute came high. It
helped, you know.”
Senator Robinson’s year in the Sen
ate was a busy one. Not only was
she responsible for several bills con
nected with sanitation and educa
tion, but she killed a newspaper libel
bill with a vim that Colorado legis
lators are still chuckling over. Her
fight for the Minimum Wage bill,
which finally passed, is recorded as a
memorable example of political strat
egy.
“But it is not by the bills that I in
troduced.” she declares, “nor perhaps
by the bills that I supported that I
did the most good. I believe that I
rendered my greatest service in just
kjeeping an eye on the details of
bills. I made sure they were punc
tuated properly. That may seem
trifling to the uninitiated, but laws
have been made invalid because of a
comma In the wrong place, and a
man w as once kept out of jail because
of the lack of one.
Know How to Write.
“I was formerly a teacher of Eng
lish. and I knew how to write the
English language and to punctuate
it once I had it written. My colleagues
recognized that. Many a man would
hurry over to my desk with hi6
amendment to ask me if it said what
he meant it should. In return, my
neighbors Instructed me on the fine
points of parliamentary law, about
which they knew' more Than I.
“I think I have been successful In
this business of legislating because
I did not cherish the idea that the
fate of the nation rested on my shoul
ders. Women have been In legisla
tive bodies before, and too often they
are too Intent about it. They have
the notion that they alone are rep
resenting the millions of women all
over the country; all over the civ
ilized world, in fact, and that they
are there to make a fight for women
and muK do it single-handed.
“This intense, rather antagonisti *
attitude has. I believe, invalidated
much of the legislatve work that
wom?n have had the opportunty to
do. I found none of this* sex antag-o
nism that is so dreaded.
Kept My Peace.
“I helped where I could, and where
I couldn’t I held my peace. I took
it for granted that I couldn't run
the Senate, nor make it a stamping
ground for Immediate reforms. I knew
that 1 had to have the help of at
least eighteen men. Most of the
time I got it. too. The only point was
that I could bring knowledge on .
few vital interests inlo th^ lawmak
ing body. I knew something more
about housekeeping, punctuation and
education than most of my colleague
“X don't believe I disturbed things
Vc» j luuvii, migi x nao ci^v wru, iiiauj
men came to me with the most wist
ful expressions on their faces. You
know' there is a ruling by which any
little custom of the Senate may be
abolished at the objection of any
member. With piteous eyes these
men came to me and said: 'Mrs*.
Robinson, are you going to abolish
smoking in the Senate chamber?’ 1
asked how I could do that. Smoking
was a custom that had come up
since the pioneer days. There were
men in the Senate who did not smoke
thqmselves, but they would nev^r
dream of objecting to it. Why should
I? Of course, I was severely criti
cised by members of my own sex, who
declared that I was not living up to
the highest ideals of womanhood, sit
ting in all that degrading smoke! But
I wanted to legislate, not to conduct
a campaign against tobacco, and both
couldn’t be done.”
Didn’t Get Breakfast.
“But didn’t you find that you had to
neglect your home to keep on legis
lating? For instance, did you get
breakfast before—■”
“I did not,” said Senator Robinson
emphatically. “My business was to
serve the people of Colorado to the
best of my ability and not to get.
breakfasts. My family will testify
that it was not neglected, and I gave
all my strength and energy to the
work I had undertaken; I assure you
that it was no sinecure. I feel sat
isfied that I contributed something of
value to the Nineteenth General As
sembly, but I had to work hard to
do it.
“I remember on the last night of
the session—by the way, 1 know T
should be discussing abstractions and
holding forth on the feminist move
ment and militancy and educational
topics; but I’ve had so many funny
little adventures In legislation that
I’ve never had a chance to talk about.
On the last night of the session a
little man came to me and said that
he’d w'orked like a Trojan all year
and he didn’t have his name on a
single bill and It was his first year
and he really felt badly and wouldn’t I
help him. I looked down on my
sleeve and there was a tear drop
I knew r I hadn’t shed that tear. ‘Bless
your soul,’ I said, ‘you shall have
your bill.’ It was a good bill, any
way, and I fought for it like mad.
and I’m glad to s*ay that my little
man got Ms name on the Senate
calendar after all.”
Would Abolish the Lower House.
“Is it true that you introduced a
Constitutional amendment abolishing
the lower House of Colorado?”
“No. By the time I had prepared
my resolution the Minimum Wage bill
for which we worked three long, hard
months was up. and I thought it
more important to give all my time
and energy to that. My resolution
abolished the lower House and reor
ganized the Senate. As a matter of
fact, a Legislature of two houses Is
an extravagant anachronism to-day.
quite as useless in the economy of
Government as a two-headed calf is
in the economy of nature.
“But if you don’t mind.” implored
the Senator, “let’s don’t discuss any
thing so serious. After a hundred and
five days, the last of them until 5 or
6 in the morning, pas-ing bills de
omnibus < aeteris,’—concerning every
thing and ih'h -ome. as they sav in
the cla.‘-sicp—I have a hard ease of
legislative indigestion. But 1 learn
ed a great deal in those hundr. d and
lilt Utt.TC, (IIIU All tllC KHI ^ UUXVVl/
preceding them.”
“For Instance?”
Lawmaking a Compromise.
“For instance, that lawmaking is a
compromise. The more numerous
the interests represented, the more
difficult but the better and more ef
fective is the compromise. I have
become convinced, too, of the need
of raising lawmaking to the dignity
of a science. At the very least, the
legislator should know the laws of his
own State. I spent half my time
this last winter informing some of
my colleagues that the bills they were
proposing were already on the books.
Before the next session comes around
I shall know the laws of Colorado so
well that they will be second nature
to mo.”
“What about the argument, Sena
tor Robinson, that playing politics
and stumping in elections and all that
sort of thing coarsen women?”
The Senatorita looked a bit dubi
ous. “I suppose I am not the one to
judge. I will admit my vocabulary
has changed. You know. I am a
New Englander, and for a long time
there were certain—well, Western-
isms, that I could- not adopt. But I
remember going down into the Jewish
District of Denver, where there are
many foreigners, during the primary
campaign. Charlie Thomas, who Is
Colorado’s star orator, talked to these
people about the tariff and its effect
on the high cost of the necessities
of life. Those were his exact words
—the high co£t of the necessities of
life. I watched that crowd pretty
closely and I saw several of them
yawn. When I got up I had made
up my mind what I would have to do,
so I talked about the tariff, too, and
its relation to the higher cost of pants.
After al] those years of selling trous
ers I talked in public about the high
cost of pants! I led that district,
by the way.”
Suffrage to Stay.
“But is It true that Colorado is
thinking of taking the suffrage away
from its women voters?”
The Senator glanced at her watch
and the Interviewer rose to the hint.
“Well,” she said with that quick
humor which has killed many a legis
lative measure and won the day for
many another, “well, the East seetas
to have decided it so, but Colorado
has heard nothing about It. It would
seem Just as sensible to take the suf
frage away from, say, bald-headed
men or men with side whiskers—
though there’d he some sense Jn the
latter. But for the sake of the hypoth
esis. If Colorado ever sholud try to
take the vote away from its women,
all 1 can say is that Denver would
make little old London look like
Sleepy Hollow!” And the Henator
chuckled the interviewer out.
WOMAN FISH WARDEN IN
KANSAS MAKES AN ARREST
TOPEKA. KAN’S., May ^1.—Whan
Mrs. C. A. Fisher. State Deputy Fish
Warden, found H. B. Stone fishing
with more than one hue ^*-sterdny,
she arrested him on a charge of vio
lating the fish and game laws. This
was the first arrest ever made by a
woman deputy game warden in Kan

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.—Charles
H. Ladue. American cowboy and wild
west performer, who sailed for Aus
tralia a few months ago alone anu
carefree, returned to the domain of
Uncle Sam on the steamship Tahiti
yesterday with a bride, for whom he
fought a gallant battle against great
odds before the vessel steamed from
Wellington.
Ladue went to Australia to fili a
contract for the Wirth circus, and
before long succumbed to the charms
of Miss Phylliy Wirth. daughter of the
circus owner. She reciprocated and
they agreed to be married. Papa
Wirth and Mama Wirth objected,
but despite this obstacle the girl ac
companied Ladue to the parson after
the bans had been properly published.
Officers on Trail.
Mr. and Mrs. Wirth put the officers
of the law upon the newly-weds’ trull
and attempted to take the bride away
from the cowboy husband.
Four lawyers, four detectives and
two policemen boarded the Tahiti at
Wellington and demanded that I>adue
surrender his brine.
Ladue rcfuwd and Intimated that
he was prepared to fight for posses
sion of his wife if necessary.
‘>We are many and you are only
one, even if you are an American
cowboy,” blustered one of the detec
tives.
“That may be.” retorted the Ameri
can, “but If you want any trouble
you will please remember that the
odds really don’t amount to anything
been use I can shoot ten times as fast
as any of you.”
One of the enemy began to per
spire, and he reached into his hip
pocket to procure a bit of linen with
which to wipe his glistening brow.
Hostilities Commence.
To Ladue this m?»nt that hostilities
were about to commence. So he
also reached toward his hip.
Now each of the brave ten had seen
Ladue shoot little glass balls while
riding a wild bronco.
Four lawyers, four detectives and
the two policemen hastened to the
gangplank which was crowded. In
their hafte half of them seized a
rope and slid down to the dock, hand
over hand.
“Bah!” exclaimed the father of the
bride when he saw his men’s sudden
retreat. ’“I guess the boy Is all right
after all. I like his nerve anyhow,
don’t you, ma*na?”
Evidently mama did. Just before
the gangplank was pulled ashore the
parents came on board and agreed to
forgive and forget. It being agreed
that after a honeymoon through the
United Sthtes, the couple are to re
turn and the son-in-law is to take
an interest In the show'.

COLORADO SPRINGS, May 31.—
Mrs. Mary Ammerman, recently elect

RADI III FROM
1ST SOON TO
SOPPLY WORLD
Failure of the Austrian Supply
%
Sends Users of Product to
State of Colorado.
GRAND JUNCTION, COLO;. May
31.—That ores from which radium
can be secured unti be found now
practically nowhere except In the
counties of Mesa, Montrose and San
Miguel in Western Colorado is shown
In the last report of the State Bu
reau of Mines in an article prepared
by Professor F. W. Forstall, who oc
cupies the chair of chemistry In Sa
cred Heart College, in Denver. Mil
lions of dollars’ worth of uranium
and vanadium ore will be shipped
from Western Colorado within the
next few years, predicts the report.
Up to the present, radium has
been extracted almost exclusively
from pitchblende. Pitchblende has
been secured almost entirely from
Austria, but despite the rigid con
servation of the beds by the Aus
trian Government they have been
mined out,and radium experts are now
turning to carnotlte, a form of ura
nium ore, as the only substitute. Car-
notite is confined to Western Colo
rado.
The great activity on the part of
European radium and uranium ex
perts in Western Colorado had not
been generally known In Western
slope cities until the recent report on
radium was issued. It amazed per
sons here when it showed that In
1911 1,515% tons of uranium oro were
shipped by European people from the
Paradox Valley, through Grand Junc
tion and Placerville. The total value
of these shipments was more than
$303,000. In 1912 1.092 tons, valued
at $245,812, were shipped to Europe
from Western Colorado. The ore In
these consignments ran so high in
uranium that no concentration was
needed.
The vanadium field in Western
Colorado extends for 100 miles from
Telluride and Placerville down the
Paradox Valley, through the Una-
weep Canon, past Gateway and down
the Little Dolores River to Cisco In
Eastern ITtph. It is from three to
four miles wide. It is rich in about
a dozen different places, the rest of
the belt supply showing traces.
The richest claims are in the Para
dox Valley, seventy miles from this
city, where O. J. Adams and Ernest
Herrmann will erect a small concen
trating mill in connection with their
radium laboratory. Uranium ore.
which averages 2 per cent, can be
easily concentrated to 20 per cent.
The State report shows that a ton
of carnotlte or uranium ore which
contains 20 per cent of uranium con
tains $8,500 worth of radium. Ra
dium is worth $2,400,000 per ounce.
Most of the richest claims in West
ern Colorado have been taken up by
European syndicates, their work be
ing so stealthy that they secured an
immense advantage before Colorado
prospectors and mining men awoke
to what was being done.
Rib Method Best as

St. Louis Doctor Declares Humans
Can Be Raised Like Trees, Con
firming Biblical Theory.
CHICAGO, May 31—“To raise a
crop of men. like ‘a grove of trees,
‘Just cut a slip’ from a healthy man
transplant it and watch it grow.”
This interesting experiment, which
would confirm, if successful, the w ide
ly edrrent report that Eve was made
from the rib of Adam, presumably by
the transplantation process. Is sug
gested by Dr. Leo Loeb. of St. Louis
in a letter to the American Medical
Association.
Dr. Loeb says he has already con
ducted some preliminary experiments
w'ith success, finding that “it is pos
sible for transplanted tissue to grow'
without an outgrowth of cells so long
ns it is in contact witn a solid or
semi-solid substance.”
Young Woman Mayor
Finds Suitors Galore
Miss Clara Munson, of Warrenton,
Ore., Deluged With Offers From
All Over Country.
PORTLAND ORE.. May 31. —Miss
Clara Munson Mayor of the little tow n
of Warrenton, Ore., has been deluged
with offers of marriage since she as
sumed the mayoralty chair a few
months ago.
Every mail brings proposals from
men who evidently think a woman
who is clever enough to manage the
affairs of a municipality would be a
desirable household manager. These
proposals are tossed into the waste
basket by Mayor Munson, who takes
a humorous view’ of the situation.
Warrenton Is a prosperous and
growing little city near the mouth of
the Columbia River and is within
hearing distance of the booming
waves of the Pacific Ocean.

Pays $25,000 Debt;
Loses Job at 74; Poor
Warden Robert W. McClaughry of
the U. S. Penitentiary at Leaven
worth to Quit June 30.
LEAVENWORTH, KAN., May 31.—
When Major Robert William Mc
Claughry quits his Job as Warden of
the United States penitentiary, June
30, owing to the exigencies of politics,
he will begin life all over ugaln at
74 years and poor.
Th, panic of 1873. left him in debt
$25,000. He has paid every cent of
that debt, with interest, now, using
every cent above his living expenses
to that end.
Thirty-nine years ago Mr. .Me
Claughry was operating quarries ai
Nauvoo, Ill., and Ste. Genevieve, Mo.
He employed more than 400 men.
Then came the panic, and the busi
ness was wiped out.
He started out to pay the debt in
installments, and every time he paid
an installment the exact amount of
interest went with it. All told, he
paid $50,000 in principal and interest.
During the world’s fair he was
Chief of Police in Chicago. He was
oifered $30,000 if he would permit
Garfield Park to continue in opera
tion during the fair, and when ho
refused he was offered $50,000. II-

Self-Poisoning.
NEWARK, May 31.—Nine-year-old
Adrian Palmer, of 297 Sandford Ave
nue, Is to-day in the City Hospital
suffering from what is believed to be
hydrophobia as a result of the bite
of a cat.
About two months ago, while on an
errand for his mother, the boy went
to a neighbor’s home, carrying a bas
ket. As he mounted the front steps
a strange cat sprang at him and bit
him on the right arm.
All food eaten leaves in the stom
ach some waste unused particles.
This waste ferments and generates
uric acid, and when uric acid gets in
the blood it poisons the system. This
is termed Auiotoxemia. or Self-Poi
soning. Constipation, indigestion, bil
iousness, dyspepsia, sick headache,
languidness and a weakened physical
condition result. Eliminate Autotex-
emia, afid we could live to be hun
dreds of years old.
