Chicago, Sept. 17.—The postal sav-| ings bank question came to the front at the meeting of the savings bauk woction of the American Bankers’ as- sociation convention here. In the midst of a committee report, adverse to postal savings banks, and speeches deprecating the entrance of the government into the banking busi- ness, an cpen letter wa$ received from the Postal Savings Bank league of the United States. The letter was ad- dressed to George M. Reynolds, presi- dent of the American Bankers’ asso- ciation, and was signed by Julius Goldzier, president of the Postal Sav- ings Bank league, and called on the bankers for assistance in securing postal savings banks. Mr. Reynolds showed the letter to & number of delegates, but no action was taken. It is said that the letter, if read at all at the main meeting, will fall for the most part on un- friendly ears. Practically every speech made so far at the bankers' conven- tlon has been adverse to postal sav- ings banks. GIVEN CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH President Favors Ballinger in Dispute With Pinchot. Utica, N.

This latter was the issue of prime importance in which Secretary Bal linger and Mr. Pinchot differed, the question being whether the law with regard to public lands shall be strict- 1y construed or loosely.

Inquire of Mrs. C.[ ) JOHNSON'S CONDITION ~ GRITIGAL Governor of Minne- sota Near Death, HAS A FIGHTING CHANGE Responds to Treatment After| Severe Sinking Spell ADING IN BATTLE FOR LIFE ndomitakle Will Power and De- termination to Live. Rochester, Minn,, Sept. 17.—Gov- ernor John A. Johnson's condition is more hopeful, but he is suftering much pain at St. Mary’s hospital, where he underwent an operation. At 12:80 p- m,, Dr. Charles T. McNevin, house physician, issued the following bul- letin: “Governor Johnson’s condition is not quite so good. .He is suffering considerable pain from an accumula- tlon of gas. Pulse 80, temperature about normal.” To Private Secretary Frank A. Day Dr. Charles Mayo said: “The governor’s pulse is 80 and temperature about normal. He is cheerful and has been able to take some liquid nourishment. Although the crisis will not come for twenty- four hours we hope for speedy recov- ery.” Governor Johnson was very close to death during the night and it was only by the prompt and capable work of Dr. Charles T. McNevin, house physician at St. Mary’s hospital, it is believed, that the governor was brought safely out of a very danger- ous sinking spell. It was just about 10:15 at night when Dr. McNevin tried the govern- or's pulse and was unable to fix it. Treatment Causes Rally. He immediately gave a camphor and oil injection and summoned Doc- tors W. J. and Charles H. Mayo and E. 8. Judd, all three of whom hurried to the governor's side as fast as a high power auto would carry them. The injection of the stimulant had done its good work, however, and ‘when the doctors arrived they found the distinguished patient rallying. He had been summoned back almost from the brink of the grave. From that very moment Governor Johnson began to mend and it was evident that he had passed the first great crisis following the shock of the'long operation and the administration of the anaesthetic. He began to rest and at 3 o'clock in the morning Dr. McNevin retired, satisfled that the governor would be safe for the rest of the night in the hands of the nurse. The governor was in a very precari- ous condition, however, all night and it was necessary to administer fre- quent saline injections and to use hot packs from 4 o'clock in the afternoon until 3 o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Johnson remained at the hos- pital all night. She slept a couple of hours, but was called during the gov- ernor's sinking spell. She was in readiness in case of extremity, but ‘was not admitted to the room at that time. Hundreds of Messages. Hundreds of messages of sympathy are being received from all over the country. The governor, of course, has been given absolutely nothing to eat since the operation and will receive no nourishment beyond a teaspoonful or two of plain or carbonated water every hour or so. Nc food will be given him until the danger line is passed and then he will be given only weak tea and a very little light thin broth for two or three days. The governor is a splendid patient, his indomitable will power and deter- mination to live alding him wonder- fully in the splendid fight that he is meaking. He complains none, does not fret or worry and refuses the quieting effect of opiates in any form. His strength is beginning to return and the saline injections and hot packs are being administered at much longer in- tervals. Dr. V. Bastinelli of Italy, a distin- guished European surgeon and one of the physicians to the king of Ttaly, witnessed the operation and he said that it was one of the most difficult and dangerous of its nature that he had ever seen. “I am satisfled,” said Dr. Bastinelli, “that the operation was a complete success—in fact a brilliant success— but I did not believe at the time that the patient would recover. He has shown good rallying powers, however, and may survive.” WORLD’S GRAIN YIELD LARGE Enormous Increase in This Country and Abroad. Washington, Sept. 17.—While the American farmer has harvested bumper crops this year Hurope has not been far behind. According to the European correspondents of the de- partment of agriculture the harvest abroad has generally surpassed expec- tations. 5 Most' astonishing of all was the enormous increase in yields of the world’s grain crops. Huropeam au- thoritles e¥timate that there will be a gain of from 185,000,000 to 270,000,000 bushels' in the ‘case of the world's wheat crop and about - 265,000,000 bushels 1ore of corn, while oats show the enormous increase of 857,000,000 bushels ahove the figures of last year’s production. Roumania is almost the only foreign nation to report decreases from the pre-harvest estimates, attributable to severe drouths. The hop crop in England. will be the lowest on record, the entire c.op only being saved from destruction by blight after repeated spraying.
