GOVERNMENT Will

Secretary Gage Says No Harm Will
Result From Letting the Cash
Surplus Accumulate.

Washington, u. C.. April 2-secretsry
Gage was questioned today as to his
probable action with respect TO the cash
accumulations In the treasury, and par
sicularly as TO whether he contemplated
buying bonds for the sinking fund.
'The estimates OF a surplus of $4,000
coo for the current fiscal year, said Mr..
Gage. were made before the last session
of Congress. and have been modified by
events and Congressional action. IL is
now contemplated that the years sur
plus will be over s60,O0O 600. A falling on
in receipts and larger disbursements than
have been estimated for may also fur
zher modify the estimate.
TWO METHODS OPEN.
"There areonly two methods open TO
get surplus funds out OF the treasury
vaults One is To increase treasury de-
posts In national bank repositories: the
other is 10 buy United States bonds. The
latter Is more consistent with govern

Bodman Survives Tho RshlasaI
Of the Organ by Surgeons
ENDS JOINED Is A TUBE.
Removal Of Tumor Was the Original Pur-
pose, but II Was Found Necessary 10
Cut Away Nearly EntITs Stomach

Newark, April 2.--For the removal OF
the stomach an operation was performed
last Saturday il being the sixth of its
kind which has been made in the United
States.
u. @. Bodman. of No SO Third avenue,
Newark. who was the patient, is nearly
hfty-nine years old. In spite OF MS ad-
vanced age he rallied, and is now on the
road 10 recovery.
Mr.. Bodman was taken i'll seven
months ago with what was at the time
diagnosed az dyspepsia by his family
physician DR. Frank :. Carpenter. tie
grew steadily worse and IL was evident
that a malignant growth had formed In
the stomach. The patient in the last
three months lost fifteen pounds In
weight.
Dr. Carpenter obtained the consent OF
the patient TO an operation, DR.. Wilfred
q. Fralck, of No. 77S Madison avenue.
New York WAS called In consultation'and
II was decided to operate. The operation
was performed by Dr. Fralick, assisted
by Dr. Carpenter. Or. Ralph ;. Frahck,
OF New York. and DR.. George e. Connett,
OF Morristown, N J.
IL was found that n tumor had formed
IN the stomach. The organ was contracted
to about half Of the normal size ana con-
Siderably hardened. AFTER lakinb w 'h'
blood vessels connected with the stom-
ach the operation was begun.
IL was not intended at first to perform
so radical an operation as the removal OF
the entire organ AS the examination pro-
ceeded, however. the surgeons saw that
there was nothing to be done but remove
IL practically entire.
More than two-thirds OF the stomach
was taken out, and the pyloric and the
oesophageal ends were joined. A part OF
the membrane was used in effccting the
union. A small tube was thus formed. in
which some of the glands of the stomach
still remained. In the course OF month
IL is likely that this portion OF the organ
may receive food although IL IL doubtful
IL the glands will perform their functions.
The stomach was a solid mass, which
was cut with difficulty. The remnant not
removed was dropped back I'm the abdom-
inaI cavity and the usual dressings were
applied The patient will live on predi-
gested food introduced directly into the
intestines.
MIR. Bodmans temperature yesterday
was 9Ia and the pulse was 80. He shows
great vitality, and IL is believed that he
will recover.
