OMAHA, April 2.—The dawning of a new era in the history of local passen- ger traffic was marked to-day, when the Union Pacific’'s new gasoline motor car beat the schedule time of train No. | 6 from Valley to Omaha, a distance of forty miles. Superintendent of Motive Power "McKeen's plan of starting at high gear has worked out successfully, and it is the opinion of railroad men who took the trip to-day that the prob- lem of railway motor cars has been solved. McKeen was at the throttle on to- day’s run, and about a score of rail- road, business and newspaper men ac- companied him. The outward trip to Valley was made at low gear at a speed At high gear the return trip was made at the rate of thirty miles an hour, although the ear is capable of a very much greater speed. “My dream has come true,” said Mc- Keen to-night. “Here is a car weighing twenty tons, with a 100-horsepower en- and stops without a jar and runs at high speed with very little vibration. I am immensely pleased with it.” The car will be subjected to some minor improvements and will eventu- ally be sent to Portland.

Remarkable Experiments of Two Chicago University Professors. Revive Heart Beats Twenty-Five Min- utes After Subjects Are Pro- nounced Dead. Special Dispatch to The Call CHICAGO, April 2.—In an address be- fore the annual meeting of the Ameri- can Naturalists’ Society in the Univer- sity of Chicago Professor Charles C. Guthrie made the unusual announce- ment that he and Professor George N. Stewart had perfected a method where- by they had restored life to cats and dogs dead for twenty-five minutes. Following in the wake of the an- nouncement made recently by Pro- fessor Jaques Loeb of the University of California that he had been enabled to fertilize the eggs of sea urchins, this s ement was accepted by some as a forecast that the secret of life itself would soon we a plaything of scientists. Professor Guthrie declared that the subjec on which he and his fellow professor worked were killed by as- phyxiation and by hemorrhage. After the heart was stilled nearly a half-hour was allowed to elapse before the effort at restoration was begun. The salt so- lution used by Professor Loeb formed an important part of the process used by the professors, but in addition they employed heart massage. While the process enables the pro- fessors to restore heart beats and proves that they have discovered the secret of life to the extent of its res- toration after death, the life restored is as yet abnormal. Spasms and convul- sions seize the animals after their heart action has been restored, and the mere touching of the fur will increase them. The spasms are accounted for by rea- son of the non-discovery of the secret of the nervous system, which yet re- mains to be learned, and the increased tensity of the spasms by the conclu- sion that rigor mortis, which begins to set in immediately after the stilling of the heart beats, denotes a deterioration that begins almost instantly and which must be overcome before life can be re- stored. While the two professors do not claim that restoration of life means its crea- tion, they believe they have advanced far on the road toward it, and hope ultimately to be able to solve the riddle in its entirety. BUILDIY PALACE FOR AN INFANT Tiny Croesus Will Have a Newport Mansion. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEWPORT, R.

Six others caught by the slide escaped, several after having been buried under ten feet of | snow. Some of them were at the | point of death when rescued. | A. B. Higginbotham rede under the crest of the snowy mass and escaped, although stunned. Consclousness came to him soon after the slide passed and he crawled out of the snow into which he had been tossed. Higginbotham hurried to the tunnel near by, where he | gave the alarm and then started on & | perilous trip of a mile to the Camp | Bird mine. He waded through snow to his hips for three-rourtis of the tance and was exhausted when he eached the Camp Bird mine. Higginbotham climbed a tower and caught a tram bucket, in which he | rode to the mine. where he told the story of the men beneath the slide. ‘The Camp Bird men responded to the | number of almost fifty, and, led by E.

They met Bod Roberts crawling over the snow, bruised and stunned. They heard the groans of others—Barney Burns, who was. bleeding from wounds in the head, and James Mullens.. Both men were rescued. ‘When the Camp Bird men arrived, tamping rods twenty-four feet long, were prodded through the snow and George Rabb was located, but too late. Alexander McNeill was rescued from beneath twelve feet of snow, where he has regained consciousness, and with his hands had hollowed out a breath- ing space. He managed to get air enough to live during the four hours he was imprisoned. John Orth was taken out dead.
