Lnfayette. Infl., An-. 23. James
Jennings, who, throe weeks ago. had
his skull fio terribly crushed tliat he
called tor a priest and received the rite
of extreme unction, and at the same
time heard the doctors say that he
had only an hour to live, is ready to
leave St. Elizabeth hospital as sound
in body and mind as he was before
the accident which left him bleeding
and apparently dying on top of a Mo-
non passenger train on which he was steal in? a ride.
s Top of His lleatl Ijoose. It is the most remarkable recovery
In the annals of the hospital. Jennings
was on top of a bajrpage coach and
when the train parsed under the
Fourth street overhead crossing in. this
city he rose and was struck by the girders of the bridge. The blow wa
60 terrific that the entire top of his skull was loosened and when the train arrived at the North street station Jennines was near death. Father Leonard of St. Boniface Roman Catholic church, was called to administer the last rites
of the church to the injured young man.
Hut His llrain AVas Unhurt. lie was rushed to the hospital, how
ever, and two surgeons said his case
was absolutely hopeless. At the same
time, however, a fight was made to
prolong his life. A close examination revealed the remarkable fact that the skul! had been fractured in such a peculiar manner that the top of the
skull had been raised and left thebrain
practically unhurt. Jennings recovered consciousness and determined
that he Mould get well. He made a gallant fight and every other patient
in the hospital able to do so watched
his struggle with great interest.
Sow He Is Up and About. Finaliy the doctors began to have
hope. Jennings kept on improving and
his skull began to knit. Tuesday night he dressed and walked around outside the hospital to the amazement of the other patients. lie has had more than
100 callers in the last week, most of
them drawn to him by his remarkable
victory over an almost certain death.
Action Taken Thereon byline PanAmerican Congrrss Goes to The Hague Tribunal. Rio de Janeiro. Aug. 22. In the International American Conference the resolution recommending tbe submission of the Drago doctrine on the mat
ter of the use of force for the collection of public debts to The Hague tribunal was adopted unanimously. The preamble states that no definite conclusion was proposed by this conference, composed exclusively of representatives of American countries. but that the principles in question should be passed upon by an assembly composed of representatives of all nations, as the principle affects the internal
sovereignty and rights of nations. It further expresses the opinion that the declaration nou!d be extended to cover all controveries having pecuniary origin. The resolution recommends "that the governments represented in this conferenee consider the point of Inviting the second conference of The Hague tribunal to consider the question of the compulsory collection of public debts, and in general means tending to dimin
ish between nations conflicts having
exclusively pecuniary origin."
