IIEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY. JUNE 1. 1913. 7 D 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 -as. Mrs. Fisher took Stone before a jus tice. who fined the prisoner one cent and costs. Stone appealed the case. 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'.

SEATTLE, May 31.—From Glouces ter, the greatest fishing port of the Atlantic Coast, local cannery men have received news that the big fish ing companies of Massachusetts are planning to transfer the scene of their activities to Puget Sound, real izing that the Pacific in a short time will be the main source of the fish supply for the world. In 1849 if was gold that lured men westward; now It is fish, producing a greater golden crop than did the gold fields of California In the palmy days of the past. PAPER BALLOON ROMANCE CULMINATES IN MARRIAGE LAWRENCEBURG. IN’D., May 31. —Lorenzo D.

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 Man Maker Says M.D. 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.

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- closed the park.

In favor of the bill were 26 Sena tors. notwithstanding the tight put up by Senator A. E. Boynton, who held that if a man was examined then a woman should be also. "There are some men who are dean, and there are women who are not. and a men approaches the marriage relation with juet as sacred thoughts as does a woman,” said Boynton. Those voting against the bill were Boynton. Cartwright. Flint, Hans, Regan, Strobridge and Tyrrell. Measure for Polite Auto Police Passes Illinois Senate Approves a Bill Doing Away With Arrest for Speeding. SPRINGFIELD, ft.L., May 31.— When a man Is hurrying to the opera with his wife and a park policeman arrests him for speeding the police man will tip hia hat and hand the gentleman a summons instead of hauling them to a police station. That is. he will. If Senator Clark's motor vehicle bill, which parsed the Senate to-day. has the same easy passage through the' House. The bill provides that such speed as indicates a tendency toward man slaughter or resistance of an officer is sufficient reason for applying the old lockup and bondsman system HYDROPHOBIA PERILS BOY CAT BIT TWO MONTHS AGO Thousands of Animals Are Being Shipped From Western Ranges to Many States.

POISONING FROM FOOD Every Bite May Poison—All Could Be Methuselahs if We Did Not Shorten Life by 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.
