ROLAND REED CANNOT RECOVER,
Another Operation From which He
Is Not Likely to Rally.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4--The friends
of Roland Reed in this city were advised
today that DR.. Bull had performed a sec
ond operation upon the comedian in New
York. The first operation. performed
about a week ago, was supposed to have
been made necessary by an attack of APP
pendicitis. When the wound was explored
however, the surgeons discovered that Mr..
Reed was suffering from an advanced at
tack of intestinal cancer.
Mr. Reed was too weak to stand q radi-
cal operation at that time, and delay
was agreed upon. The radical operation
was performed today, and from its nature
little hope is held out for his recovery.
