Most Delicate Operations May Be Per formed Without Discomfort to the Patient, Who During It All Is Con sciousUseful In Cases That Pro hibit the Use of Ether and Chloro form Differs From Recently Tried Method of Dr. Joseph. In the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal announcement Is made of the discovery by Dr. John J. Hurley uf that city of a new method of producing conscious anaesthla, both bloodless and painless, In human be ings, which promises a world-wide revolution In surgery, especially that of the brain and head. The most delicate operations nifty be performed, he claims, on tne brain nd any part of the head, the eyes, the ear, the nose and throat with ab solutely no discomfort to the pa tient, who during It all is conscious. On no occasion, says Dr. Hurley, was any Interference necessary after starting the patient, under his new atiaesthetia, save giving the patient some strong black coffee to sin or a cigar to smoke If the patient wishes It for distraction. He claims that the new method will be of greatest use In cases of patients suffering from diseases that prohibit the use of ether and chloro form, such as consumption, acute lung affections, diabetes and neph ritis. His method consists of an Injec tion of a solution of cocaine, adrena lin and salt solution, beneath the periosteum, a delicate membrane cov ering the bones of the body. The doctor's discovery has been demonstrated and accepted at the Massachusetts eye and ear infirmary. The patient was a woman 40 year of age, who was admitted to the hos pital for the removal of the ossicles of the ear, a particularly trying and delicate operation. Dr. F.. A. Crockett, u Boston aurlst, performed tho opera tion, after Dr. Hurley had anaesthlzed. The operation was absolutely painless and bloodless, say the doctors. GRAFTERS BEAT RAILROAD Pennty Said to Have Lost $500,000 a Year Through Councilman. That the Pennsylvania railroad was being beaten out of $300,000 per year by Pittsburg councllmen alone through passes some years ago start ed the agitation which resulted later In laws against the issuing of trans portation by any railroad. The Penn- ylvanla made the claim that It was losing $500,000 per annum throughout Its system on the Issuing of passes, nnd one-tenth of this was charged uu to Pittsburg. It developed now that some of the grafting councllmen who are now in trouble made thousands of dollars yearly through the sale of passes. One Sunday before Easter Pittsburg councllmen sold 840 passes from Titts burg to Atlantic City and return. The last straw was laid on the back of the railroad when a heavy night train ran from Pittsburg to Philadelphia with every berth occupied and the smoking car filled,, yet when cash was counted !t was found that only five on the entire train had paid fare. GOOD WHEAT CROP Officials Say Output Will Exceed That of Last Year. "Pennsylvania farmers, sowed 100,- 000 acres more than usual In wheat last year and the winter was very fa vorablo for the crop," said Deputy Sec retary of Agriculture A. L. Martin, after a study of state reports. "The reports I have at hand come from every county In the state and In dicate that the wheat crop should be excellent. The winter was one of I he most favorable In 20 years for the preservation of wheat, ag the snows were deep and prolonged. Even this mouth, which is generally the most disastrous of the whole year for wheat, has been Ideal. I think It Is the most favorable March for wheat I have ever known."

In an opinion StateSuperintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss is advised by At torney General O'Malley that assess ment life and casualty Insurance as sociations doing business under the Insurance law cannot Insure the lives of minors.

In holding that such construction of the statute Is wrong the attorney general reaffirms former rulings. Operators to Receive Increase. Cincinnati, March 23.

How much the Pullman porter re ceives In tips was dimly to be sur mised in the West side police court last week In New York when Eugene Debnan. a negro of 322 Mott avenue, the Bronx, came up before Magis trate Corrlgan for speeding an auto mobile. The magistrate wanted to know whose automobile It was. "It's mah own car," replied Bednan. He told the astonished judge that he was a Pullman car porter on the New York and New Haven road between New York and Boston. "No doubt you will be able to fur nish this bond," said the court as he signed the paper holding Debnan in $100 for trial. "Ah 8hurly can," and he beckoned another man. The other, man said he was Edward Warren, real estate dealer, of 49 West 134th street. War ren offered his house, worth he said $10,000, as surety and Debnan walk ed out and motored away.

T Frequently In Some of William M. Buckley's Letters. Had Not Even Permitted Strike Bills to Be Introduced, Buckley Wrote Sheldon In Explaining His Bill In One Letter Suggested the Prussian Life Give Him Annual Retainer, Saying the Work Would Not Be Un dertaken by a Reputable Lawyer. New Vork, March 29. The name of State Senator Edward T. Brackett was mentioned with great frequency at the fire insurance investigation when Superintendent Hotchkiss tried to find out from William M. Buckley, the legislative agent for some of the insurance companies at Albany in 1903 and 1904, If Senator Brackett was not the person referred to in some correspondence that was read as "our friend Senator B.," "the Saratoga party" and "our Saratoga friend." To Help Friend's Campaign Fu:iJ. Buckley had a little trouble beating Senator Brackett's resolution Intro duced in the session of 19.03 directing the investigation of fire insurance rates In this state. The letters read covered the session of 1904. That year Mr. Buckley wanted $1,500 from George R. Sheldon, president of the i'henix and the chairman of the law and legislative committee of the New York board of underwriters, to help the campaign fund of "our friend in the Saratoga district." Mr. Sheldon had suggested after the 1904 session was out of the way, that instead of going on as they had and waiting for the legislators to get to gether, it would be a good plan to aid things a little in the fall election of that year in some of the senatorial districts. Buckley did not approve of this plan very nvieh because, he said, "our friends forget they had been helped when the crisis comes." He said he thought it was better to with hold,' and later it seems he thought it advisable to do something for "our friend In the Saratoga district." Shel don was only able to send up $500, and Buckley sent this back because he said it would not be appreciated. Buckley would not admit that "our friend Senator B." was Senator Brackett. The letters read seemed to show that while Buckley was not kept quite as busy fixing things for his Insur ance clients up at Albany in 1904 as he was the previous year, he never theless sent In a much bigger bill, charging Mr. Sheldon and the people associated with him $15,000. The bill was so big that, it kicked up quite a row. He had not even permitted strike bills to be introduced, Buckley paid, in one letter explaining his bill. One of the bills which Buckley at tended to that session was introduced by Louis Bedell. Odell's assemblyman from Orange. It was adverse to the in terests of some of the foreign com panies and Buckley reported he had It defeated in the senate. An anti-compact bill of Assemblyman Nye was also put to sleep. Travellers Paid $21,400 In 1903. Sheldon apparently helped Buckley to put through the Grady reinsurance hill, which the other companies rep resented on Sheldon's own committee opposed, Sheldon even going to far as to write to Odoll in favor of It. William Grossniith, general coun sel of the Travellers' Insurance com pany of Hartford, testified that his company had piid Buckley a total of $21,400 in 1903, to put through a bill to which nearly all the other accident companies were bitterly opposed. Buckley in one letter suggested it would be a good thing for the Prus sian Life Insurance company to give him an annual retainer. In this letter he said: "I think that it Is only fair that the admission of tho company should be at least $1.2"0 and thereafter a permanent retainer of $1,000 a year. Of course this is not half what it would cost any one ele, and as you know It would not under the circumstances be taken up by any reputable lawyer." Mr. Buckley admitted that he had received $3,000 from the Prussian Life from the time it sought admis sion until 1907. In reference to the 21.40O from the Travellers, Buckley said ho was pot sure that he got it despite testimony to that effect. Buckley said that he had kept no hooks of any kind and had thrown away all his old check books. ROCKEFELLER AT LAKEW00D Conspicuously Stacked In His Auto Was a Large Bundle of Golf Sticks.
