THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 10 FORM COMMON GOUNCIL Union Pacific Strkers of All Oralts to Get to Oze Boiy. . ‘SUCCEEDS JOINT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Objects: Orma Are to Facllitate General Strike Business and to Keep Bvery Trade in- formea Progress. At its regular meeting Saturday after- foon the joint executive committee of the Unien Pacific strikers will resolve itself into & permanent organization as a com- mon eouncil of strikers. The object of t organization will be twofold, to facilitale ainited effort on the part of All crafts en- #aged in the stMke and also to keep every #raft tully Informed on all news regarding 1he movement. - /This joint executive committee as it wtands at present {s but a temporary af- fair. It comprises the executive commit- tees of the machinists, the blacksmiths, the boller makers and the boiler makers' help- wrs. It was first awsembled upon the com- pletion of the New York conference and 'its object was preparation for the confer- ence with President Burt which it was understood would ensue here. Bince then the body met regularly every week and the good results it has produced have been so obvious that per- manent organtzatfon has been decided upon. It s thought by strike leaders that a simi- lar ‘organization having for its séope the entire Union Pacific system may follow in the wake of this one. Wood Workers and Pipemen, Too. Up to the present time only the lrom trades have been represented in the joint commities, but now the locomotive wood workers and the pipemen, the two latest crafts to strike, have asked for admission 1o the conferanee, and they will doubtiess be; admitted. This will make six trades tn all partiei- vating in the. council, and the name that will probably be adopted Saturday is the Labor Council of the Unlon Pacific railway. It is thought that the officers of the pres- ent temporary joint executive body will be Te-eloctod a$ officers of the permanent labor council when it is organized. They are: Puesident, B. F. Kennedy, president of local and aistrict lodges of boller makers, secreary and treasurer, Sam Grace, sec Tetw:y of ‘the district lodge of machinists and of the district executive committee of me chinlsts. Kline Wires for Grieh. James W, Kline of Kansas City, the mem- ber of the national executive committee of the International Brotherheod of Black- smiths who has been in charge of strike af- fairs for thé -blacksmiths here, probably will not return to Omaha till the first of next week. Mr. Kiine left a week ago on strike business, and was expected back Thursday last. Yesterday, however, he went a telegram to Willlam Grieb, treas- wrer of the federated strike board, asking Mim to come to Kansas City at once, and 'that would indicate that both K ‘Griel will be In the Missourl town a day ‘or two yet. Mr. Grieb went to Lincoln on the carly traln.yesterday to addrews the Central Labor union there last night. He missed the telegram, but probably will go down to Kansas City as soon as he returns " here Saturday. MACHINISTS ARE WATCHFUL Union Pacifie Strikers Are Alert to J Keep the Usemployed { Informed.

RUMOR THAT DIX IS LOST May Be at the Bottom of the Ocean with All on Board, SAILS FROM SEATTLE FOR MANILA Household Effects Can He Tea Transport s Leaded with Lumber ported Across the Pond with ahd Forage and ix in Charge Very Little Trouble, of Captgin Theodgre - Sternhers, U, 8, A “Jn these days,” sald a storage and SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 23.—An uncon- firmed rumor was current among shipping men late last aight to the effect that the transport Dix had gome down this side of Yokohama with all on board. No de tails were given of the wreck, and it was impossible to locate any credible origin for the story. Dix sailed from this port December 31, bound for Manila, via Nagaeaki, where it is mot due for two days yet. The cargo consisted of 3,500,000 feet of lumber and 998 tons of forage. :‘::':ll'}" or wherever they want to take Captain Hopkins was in charge of the | " - . transport, with Captain Theodore Stern- |, "T'::o‘{‘l';( L B By v berg, U. 8.

Bingham of the quartermas- ter's department stated early this morning that he had received no word of the wreck He stated that when he gave the sailing orders to Dix it was to proceed directly to Nagasakl. There was coal sufficient for the trip to Manila and return. On the re- turn to Nagasaki ballast coal was to be taken aboard and the transpoft was to come directly to Seattle The course to Nagasaki would bring the transport in the route of the Japanese steamers, and it Is possible that the re- port may have come from this source. BLLSWORTH, Kan, Jan. 28.—Captain Theodore Sternberg’s wife and daughter, who relsde here, reached Kllsworth last week from Seattle, where they had gone to bid the captain goodby.

CURE FOR BLOOD POISONING Comment on the Recent Experiment with Formalin in New York City. A: paper which has attracted universal attention was read at the last meeting of the New York Obstetrical soclety, in which there was narrated by Dr. Charles C. Bar- rows of \this city the history of a case of blood poisoning of the most eevere type known to medical selence, reported to have been cured by the injection of a solution of formaldehyde into the veins of a dying women. Many oases of severe blood polsoning, comments the New York Sun, have recov- ered without the Intravenous injection of any. antiseptic, including even that most severe and usually fatal type which fol- lows ehildbirth, in neglected or infected la bors; but from the symptoms in this par- ticular case, as given by a conscientfous and careful observer, there can be no doubt that & marked impression was made upon the septic process by the/use of formalin. One swallow does not make a summer, but the summer ls usually not far off when the swallow gomes, and the medical profes- slon of today wjll not be found wanting in emthusiasm or energy’ in following up the suggestions of this,startling case, and. the world will soon know whather a new and successful method of treating septicaemia Bas or has not been established. Intravenous infusion is not new, mor is the prohibitive effect of eeveral antiseptics when brought in contact with the germs of sepsis floating in the blood unknown to medionl eclence. Thousands of cases have been infused with a warm salt water so- lution, which is today a favorite treatment to relieve the shock resulting from exces- sive hemorrhage. For the neytralization of the effects of serpent venom, permangnate of potash solutions have been thrown into the veins with curative effect. The deriva- tives of lodoform and carbolic acld carried into the blood by capillary absorption hgve long been known to neutralize the poison- ous effects of these germs of child-bearing fever; but In no instance, as recerded, have solutions of formalin of such strength been used as that employed in the particular case under consideration. Formalin (derived from formic aldehyde) is a torm applied to a gaseous body ex- tracted from methyl, or wood alcohol, when submitted to oxidation. Methyl alcohol was discovered by Boyle in 1661, but its deriv- atives have only come into medical and rgical use within recent years. .u'r:.o president of the New York Obstet- rical soclety is reported In the Sun of January 16 to have sald that “without further trial and taking the case as it stands, the discovery of Dr. Barrows is the most important contribution to medical sclence of this generation.” 1t it shall prove a cure for blood poison or even If it cure oply a certain proportion of cases, or It it does mo more than to open the door for the curative agent yet to come, it will be difficult to estimate its value to the human race; but it should germ theory of disease, advocated and es tablished by those fmmeortals of sclence—! startling dlscoveries.

EASY TO MOVE TO EUROPE van man, quoted by the New York sun, to London as from New York to Hoboken One's furniture and household offects can be traneported across the Atlantic in vans as easily as across the North river, “Of course, vans have long been used Rere for comparatively long-distance mov- ing by rail and steamboat. It {s a common thing in summer, for instance, to see teams on the decks of boats running to and from this city. They just run the vans aboard on their own wheels, and run ‘em on at tk> other end of the line, and back in the | bodies and can be litted from their wheels and swuag onto a car of transportation by | rail or down a hatchway into a steamer's hold. “At the end of its rail or water trans- portation the van can as easily bo lifted Off the car or out of the steamer's hold and s'vung upon the trucks upon which it is to be bauled to the house where the goods “It 18 Just as easy to move from New York | have thick hair Avyer’'s H the hair grow, and keeps the are to be put. “Who are the people that thus casually pack up and move across the Atlantle? Well, they may be foreign merchanta who have been living in this country, but are now going back. They may also be Amer- lcans who are going abroad to live. “With the modern facilities for the trans- portation of people and goods everywhere and the very great increase in travel thera are now many people.who, crossing the At- lantic for a more or less extended stay, take their household goods with them, “Ot ‘course, there are people moving in this way all the time from Europe, as there are people moving thither from here, and when we move anybody over we want, of course, a freight back; we don't ant to bring our vans back empty, and we move somebody this way. “In some German cities there are pub- lished weekly newspapers, or rather ex- tended bulletins, devoted to tha. interests of the etorage van men.

Spectators Ducked at a Baptism, Ice broke from under the imembers of the Urethren of Christ church, Philadelphla, while a baptism was In progress in the Delaware river opposita East Camden. Half a hundred worshipers were precipl- tated waist deep in the cold water amid the cakes of ice. All were rescued. Revs. Joseph Detwiler and 8. G. Engle, the officiating clergymen, carried axes as they led the baptismal party. Where they cut through the ice it was six inches thick. The witnesses to the ceremony sur- rounded the hole. They were joined by | many skaters. The immersion had scarcely been com- pleted when the ice broke. Instan'ly all were in the water, including many per- | sons who had come from Philadelphia to see the baptism. As the water was only walst deep, there was ho danger of drowning. All were helped to places of safety by the use of boards. The frightened members were greatly chilled and were hurried to & bathhouse, where they sent home for dry clothing. Lite Began in the Aretie. That animal life originated in tise Arctic reglons rather than from a tropical land is the hypothesis advanced by Prof, J. L. Wortman of Yale, who is continuing the work begun by the late Prof. Othuiel C. Marsh. Dr. Wortman has made what sclen- tiste belleve will prove an important dis- covery, as it upsets previously accepted theorles regarding the origin of animal lite. He spent last summer in Wyoming search- ing for primates or fossil monkeys and apes. Dr. Wortman finds that these apes lived {In the eocene period and that they were similar to the apes of Kurope of that period.

PENSIONS FOR EMPLOYES L Scheme of the Hoston Strest but there beral allway Company—Wages Also Advanced. The which street Boston Elevated Rallway compan: controls the surface and elevated railway systems of Boston and vicinity, has Incroased wages and estabe lished a pension oystem for employes which will require $250,000 a yoar. Here- after men being broken fn as motormon, conductors or brakemen will be paid $1 a day during the time they are learning the duties of the position, and as extra men they will be guaranteed living wages of $1.60 during the period they substitute while walting for regular runs, Provision is made’ for increases of wages according to the length of service, and every satisfac- tory man will receive a gratuity of $16 at the close of each year. Employes who are deemed to be unfit for any duty in the service after continuous cmployment of twenty-five years, or who have reached the age of 60 and have been continuously employed for fifteen years, will bo paid $26 a month during thefr life- time, The wage# of elevated guards will be ad- vanced from $2 for ten hours' work to $2.10, and brakeraen are to be raised from $1.76 to $L.85; surface road employes will re- ceive $2.30, $2.35 and $2.40 a day hereafter, according to length of service. This action is far in advance of any prop- osition made to employes by any street raillway corporation in the country. The Increases, especlally the compensation to men under instruction, have not been sug- gested by the employes at any time, and the broad scope of the benefits announced surprises the men. The pension system an- nounced has been adopted by no other sireet raillway company, and only recently have one or two steam roads made h provision for faithful and infirm servants. At the present time, when the road hires a man, he Is roquired to work for noth- ing for one to two weeks. Reallzing that it i8 a hardship for a man to work even a week or two without remuneration, the roud officials decided to pay learners §1 for every day of ten hours. Under this system a man foes on tho payroll as soon as he is engaged. Golng one step farther, extra men, conductors and- motormen of surfaces cars will be guarantoed $1.50 a day. MASSAGE OF THE HEART Grasped the Vital Organ of a Dying Man and Restored Life by Squeering. Massage of the heart, in case of its stop- page, to revive its movements, has been recommended and experimentally demon- strated, says Public Opinfon, but the first successful case of its tse in man was re- ported by Dr. E. A. Starling, at & recent meeting of the British Socloty of Anace- thetists. In an operation for appendicitls on a man aged 65 under nitrous oxide and other anesthesia, both pulse and respira- tion ceased together, and artifictal respira- tion and traction on the tongue fafled to revive them. Then the surgeon, Mr. Ar- buthnot Lane, pushed his hand up through the abdominal wound and'grasped the mo- tionless heart through the dlaphragm. Ho squeezed it and felt it start pulsating, | though no radial pulse could be felt. Artf- | ficlal respiration and other restoratives were continued, and {n about twelve min- utes natural respiration reappeared and the pulse became perceptible at the wrist. The operation was tign completed without the {use of the anesthetic and the patient made u good recovery, with, however, some dia- phragamatic tenderness, | This rough-and-ready method and its suc- cess in this case s suggestive of important possibilities and demonstrates that cutting operations In these cases are not essential and can be avolded. The previous fallures followed extensive exposurcs. of the heart either by rib resection or incision through the dlaphragm, as recommended by Maus claire (in two cases).
