DOOMING OF UNFIT INFANT TO DEATH CAUSESJENSATION 1 Many Uphold Physician Who Re fuses to Operate on Deformed , I Defective and Give It Chance to Live. EQUAL NUMBERS CONDEMN MM 1 Child Still Living but End is Said to Be Only a Question of Hours. DOCTOR PUTS IT UP TO NATURE CHICAGO. Nov. 17. The Bollin- j ger baby, a defective mite, whoao mother, on professional advice, de I elded It should not undergo an op eration which probably would gave ' Its life, hovered between life and i death at the Qerman-Amerlcan hos i pltal here today. Death, It was said, was a question only of hours, i Meanwhile the subject of the pro ; priety of sacrificing the life of en I Infant that It might not grow up a burden to itself and a possible men ace to society was the subject of i widespread discussion. Dr. H. J. llaiselden, on whose advice the mother acted, was visited by many i medical men today and telephone rails alternately accused and praised him. He remained unaltered in his conviction that death was the greatest blessing which could be hoped for the infant. Principal Deformities. The principal physical deformities of the baby are the closure of the intesti nal tract, paralysis of the nerves of the right aide of the face, the absence of the right ear, blindness of one eye and mal- rmatlon of its shoulders. Dr. Halsel- den, who officiated at the birth, noted the absence of a neck. The brain he found to be only slightly subnormal, but the cranial nerves were absent or unde veloped. "If he grew up he would be a hopeless cripple and would suffer from fits," said the doctor. "Wonld his mind be clear. Would his soul be normally alive?" one of the vis itors asked. "That I do not know, but the chances are against it. ' Dr. John B. Murphy, former president cf the American Medical association, and physicians and professional men and wo men. Including a number of clergymen, generally took sides with Dr, Halselden. But his critics were Just as numerous. Motifr Remain Near By. Mrs. Anna Bollinger, the mother, re- malned in room nearby. Many times. he asked: i " Is it dead?" 1 She remained steadfast in her belief that death was best for the little one. Ghe has three healthy children and tha plight of the condemned one is believed to have been due to an attack of typhoid fever which the mother suffered recently. The authorities took no action furthor than to determine that no death certifi cate should be lusued until after an in vestigation by the coroner.

U A. W1I1 Local Forecaster. CONDUCTOR MAY IDENTIFY HAUSER Photo of Ape-Man Resembles Pas senger Who Boarded Nels Gun nerson's Car Night of Murder. ACTIONS WERE MYSTERIOUS That they have obtained further evidence against Arthur llauser, charged with the murder of W. H. Smith, Wordmen of the World cash ier, is the belief of Detectives Rich and Pszanownki. The detectives have located a street car conductor who believes he car ried Hauser on bis car the night of the murder. The conductor Is Nels Gunnerson, 409 South Twentieth street. Gun nerson Is conductor of a Farnam line car, and on the night of the murder a man boarded his car about mid night at Fortieth and Farnam streets. The man, Gunnerson says, was out of breath and apparently had run a con siderable distance. lie rushed aboard the car, hurriedly threw his fare into the box and ran to the front of the car to take the very forward seat. He slouched ns far down In the seat as he could, pulled his coat up arounl his neck and part of his face and thrust his hat far down over his forehead. At Seventeenth and Fnrnam streets he got off the car In such a hurried manner that he almost knocked down a man who was trying to bonrd It. lie immediately rushed up the street. Noticed Man Closely. Gunnerson says that he noticed all of these actions and got a fairly good look at the man's fttce, because a month be fore he and another street car man were held up on their way mme from work and on another occasion his car was held up at Rlvervlew park. These two occurrences prompted him to watch carefully every body who boarded his car at late hours. Gunnerson believes Hauser Is the man who got on his car the night of thi murder. The photographs of Hauser in the possession of the police very closely resemble the passenger, Gunnerson de clares. Rich and Psxanowskl account for the fact that the man boarded the car at Fortieth and Farnam streets by the theory that he ran from Fortieth and Cuming, where he left Miss Grace Slater, to Fortieth and Farnam, In an effort to cover up his tracks. If Gunnerson can identify Hauser as the man who rode on his car the night of the murder, the detectives believe the chain of evidence against him will be complete. North Platte Depot . Of Union Pacific is ' Destroyed by Fire NORH PLATTE. Neb.. Nov. 17. (Spe cial Telegram.) Fire latethls evening completely destroyed the local Union Pa cific station, baggage room and hotel, he loss will reach S50.000. Engine sparks are thought to have been the causn. Tom McNeal. a car repairer, discovered the fire burning at the base of tho north wall and he turned a small hose on it and apparently extinguished it It smoul dered in the wall, however, for the entlr side of the building was in flame within a few minutes. An alarm was sent through the hotel and the guests were able to save nearly all their effects before the smoke and flames reached the corridors. The baggage ro?m was quickly cleared of property, as were the newsstand, hotel lobby and ticket office. The day clerk at the hotel. Edgar Henry, lost some clothing and S100 while attempting to notify hotel guests. The building Is a ponderous frame structure and burned like tinder, the firemen confining their efforts to preventing the spread of the flames. This depot had been standing for over thirty-five years. Serbian Situation Hastens Meeting of Allied War Council LONDOX, Nov. 17. Official announce ment was made that Premier As Ulth, Foreign Secretary Grey. David Lloyd George, minister of munitions, and A. J. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty, have arrived In Paris for consultation with the French government. The developments on the Balkan penin sula perhaps hastened the meeting In Paris of the allied war council, a the outcome of the present situation, f om the entente allies' viewpoint, dlt quletlng and may weigh heavily with the Greek government in deciding on Greece's final attitude. The quartet of British statesmen forms the war council recently appointed by Premier Asqulth, with Sir Edward Grey taking the place of Andrew Bonar Law, secretary for the colonies, on it. Mr. Law with Air. McKenna, chancellor of the exchequer, the fifth member of the war council, will be in charge of the house of , commons during Premier as yulth's absence. German Music Bci Great National Feast in Japan KIOTO, Nov. 17. Only music of the allies was played today at the second of the great national feasts provided by the emperor in celebration of his coronation. German music was barred on account of the war. In contradistinction to the first feast held last night when the music was en tirely that of old Japan, that of today was entirely modern. Court musicians rendered selections by modern composers of France, Kusala and Italy, Incuding airs by Massenet. Huet, Verdi and the Kusslan genius Hertapin, who died several months ago. The selection was left to rrof. William Ouvoravltch, a musician AMERICAN INVENTORS SUPPLY BRITAIN WITH AR ROWS Elmer A.

HUGHES TO DEMAND NAME WITHDRAWN Associate Justice Does Not Believe it Necessary to Engage Lawyers ' k to Enforce Request. ALL EYES UPON NEBRASKA (FToni a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. (Spe cial Telegram.) Just as soon as Mr. Justice Hughes has before him a certified copy of the Epperson pe tition placing - tho ex-governor of New York In the presidential run ning, so far as Nebraska is con cerned, a formal notification of with drawal will be sent the secretary of state, by the associate Justice and it will be up to the Jaw officers of the commonwealth to determine whether the presidential primary law of 1911 provides for Ihe withdrawal or not. This IS the Hughes situation as It ex ists now Justice Hughes has read th Nebraska primary law and the statutes which it amends and, according to a gen tleman very close to Mr. Hughes, he bo Ueves there is a vein of humor In the rumored contention of Attorney General Reed that only a court of equity can re lieve the situation, so far as presidential nominations go. "The associate Justice will not hire lawyers to get his name off tho presi dential primary ballot In Nebraska." said Mr. Hughes' friend. "He will sond a formal demand to the secretary of state not to permit the use of hla name in the primaries and the justice believes that such an appeal will be accepted." There is no denying the fact that the Epperson peltlon has focused attention on next year, when a president must be elected and for the moment at least has directed the spot-light toward Juatlce Hughes. But Mr. Hughes Is not even receptive and he will say so when a cer tified copy of the petition is received. Steamship Tuscania Towed Back to Port LONDON, Nov. 17.

Hlllstrom is an Industrial Worker of the World worner, in whose behalf tho president appealed to Governor Spry at the request of the Swedish minister sev eral weeks ago on the ground that Hlll strom had not had a fair trial.

The fate ot tho 8erblan army may be only a matter of hours. Monastlr, In south rant Serbia, Is reported to he In such a perilous position that ihu consular officials have departed from the city. From the various con flicting reports which have reached (he public, the following apparently may be deemed as facts: Tho Dulgartans have taken Kru scvo and are six miles west of Per lope. Thus tha southern Serbian army and its Franco-British allies are confronted wtih the Imminent peril of an outflanking: movement. Tetovo Is In the hands of, the Bul garians. The fate of the Serbians holding Babuna Pass is more obscure, ime report states that the pass haa been forced. It seems certain that the defenders are at hast threatened so seriously that their posi tion soon may be untenable. With Krusevo and Babuna in tha hands of the Invaders, the fata of Per lepe will be sealed and the road to Monastlr opened. While the military situation became darker from the standpoint of tho en tente allies, the diplomatic phase of their eastern venture Is somewhat more fav orable.

It Is clear that the entente powers are bringing considerable pressure to bear on Greece, not the least ot which is Eng land's detection In home ports of a fleet of Greek merchantmen. - Greek shipping Is making cnormona profits out of tha war and even a ttmporary cheek of Its activities would mean a great loss.
