NORWALK Loss is Estimated At Between $50,- 000 And $75000 When Meeker Foundry Company Burns. South Norwalk, June 15—Damage of between $50,000 and $75,000 was done by an early morning fire which completely destroyed the Meeker foundry in this city, and the cause of which has not been ascertained. Five buildings, one of which housed valu- able molds and patterns constituted the foundry holdings, and were de- stroyed. It is believed the fire started in the moulding room. Lack of hose and poor wat#r supply hampered the firemen. Four firemen were injured by falling walls, but none seriously hurt. They were buried beneath the debris, but were rescued by their com- panions and resumed their work.

MURDERED MAN SATISFIED Before Death, Victim of Feud FEx- plains That Gunman Who Shot Him Was Perfectly Justified. New York, June 15.—The sound of pistol shots under the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn today brought a detective to the sidewalk where Glem- ente Fagoli lay dying with two bullets in his chest and one in his arm. “Who shot you?" the detective asked. “It was all right,”” Fagoli replied. “He was my friend, but my dad shot his father, so he must shoot me. Be kind enough to send word to my home—I wish to speak to my son. It was all right.” LISTENS T0 RADIO AS SURGEDNS WOR Spinal Anaesthesia Used While Two Operations Are Performed Philadelphia, June 15—Two recent inventions, one surgical and the oth- ér electrical, enabled a girl at Sa- maritan hespital to undergo two dan- gerous operations and remain smiling throughout. One was a method of spinal anaes- thesia, which numbed the girl's body {from her shoulders downward, mak- ing her oblivious to physical agony. The other was the radlophone, through which she heard McCormack, Paderewski and other artists, The experiment was conducted by Dr. John Howard Frick, in an effort to alleviate the mental torture which his patient, a naturally nervous per- son, would ordinarily have had to endure under the knife. During the first operation, for ap- pendicitis, the girl remained oblivious of the surgeons. The radio receiver strapped over her ears, her only com- ment was that she could ‘“hear per- fectly” the strains of music coming through space. The second operation was for the removal of gallstones. Through it the patient entertained the nurses with laughing comment on the ‘good ex- ecution' of the artist who was trans- mitting Chopin for her. She even offered occasional eriticisms when, she said, the pedaling was at fault. She was on the operating table 45 minutes. Her pulse remained con- stant throughout, Dr. Frick asserted at the end of the experiment.
