PRESIDENT RETURNING
Underwent Surgical Opera
ton at Indianapolis.
BRUISE ON HIS LEG
SUSTAINED IN TROLLEY ACCT
DENT AT PITTSFIELD.
Abscess Formed and the Surgeons Had
to Remove the Serum
Yesterday.

The following official bulletins were given
out by Secretary Cortelyou at Indianapolis
yesterday afternoon regarding an operation
on President Roosevelt and the decision to
abandon his western trip:
INDIANAPOLIS. September %, pm.
As result Of the trolley accident at
Pittsleld, Mass, the President received
several serious bruises. One Of these. on
the left leg. between the knee and the
ankle, has developed into a small abscess.
The President Is entirely well otherwise
and has continued to meet the several en-
gagements OF his itinerary, but In view Of
the continuance OF the abscess and out Of
an abundance Of caution. Drs. oliver and
Cook of Indianapolis. were requested to
meet DIR. Lung. the Presidents surgeon. at
Indianapolis, DR.. Richardson Of Washing
ton. D. c., being also one OF the number.
In the opinion Of the doctors, the trouble
necessitates an operation. which, they
think should be performed at once at st.
Vincent's Hospital, in this city. AS after
the operation the President will require
entire rest. probably for at least ten days
or two weeks. it has been necessary to can
eel all the remaining engagements of his
trip. and he will go directly from Indanapo-
lis to Washington this evening.
The physicians say that the case is not
danger whatever. This statement Is made
SO that no false rumOrs may disturb the
people, and that they may be authorita-
lively advised of the exact nature of the
case. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
Secretary to the President.

OPENING OF AN, ALLEY.
Improper to Deduct Award Of Dam
ages From Assessment,

A. B. Duvall, corporation counsel, has re-
turned to the Commissioners the memoran-
dunn Of the auditor requesting that an epin-
ion be rendered upon the question: I'm the
case Of opening of an alley where the as
sessment for benefits exceeds in amount
the award for damages, should the lat
ter be deducted from the bill rendered
by, the special assessment office, or should
payment therefor be made to the property
owner upon duly audited voucher?"
Mr.. Duvall says:
condemnation proceedings for openIne
OF alleys in the District are provided for
In sections zoos to 1915, inclusive, of the
code of law for the District of Columbia
Inc jury OF condemnation Is required to
apport1on the amount of damages ETC., ac-
cord1ng as each lot in the square may be
benefited by the opening of the alley, and
section 1872 contains the following pro-
viso: Provided. however, that in cases pro-
Vlded Tor In section 1910 the sums paid or
agreed to be paid for the land contained in
any alley or part of alley to be closed shall
first be deducted from the amount of ben
Gifts so to be assessed 20
This provision Is the only reference to
the subject Of offsetting damages and ben
ehts In the matter of opening of alleys and
1t relates solely to case where an exist
ing alley has been closed and the area Of
such alley has been sold and annexed to
the contiguous lots. The condemnation of
land for an alley Is an exercise of the
power of eminent domain, and the public
can only acquire title to the land taken by
compromising the owners therefor.
The jury of condemna ton deals only
with the owner Of the fee of the land and
awards a sum representing the value of
the Zee title. Such title, however, may be
subject to liens and membranes, and I'M
less these are satisfied by the payment of
the award the public would not acquire
title to the land. complete title being ac-
quired only by satisfaction Of such liens
n E,,r = III nf
statutory construction would confine the
above-quoted provision Of section 1912 to the
cases mentioned therein. I am therefore Of
the case of the opening of an alley in con-
domination proceedings should be paid to
the property owner, upon duly audited
voucher. and should not be deducted from
the bill rendered from the special assess
ment Office"

PROTECTION AGAINST RABIES.
Special Session Of Laurel Council to
Take Action.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md, September "a. 1902.
A special session of the town council OF
Laurel was held last evening in the town
hall, when steps were taken to guard
against any possible further spread of the
rabies among the animals in this section
There were present at the meeting Mayor
G. b. Timanus, Councilmen Robert l.. Frye.
James A. Brown and Walter A. Martin, City
Solicitor Charles w. Darr Clerk John w.
Gray and Treasurer James ]. Lawrence
Those present We're informed Of the visit
of supposed mad dog to the town earlier
in the day, and unanimous action was taken
on an ordinance looking to the protection
of the citizens of this vicinity. An order
was passed authorizing the bailiffs to con-
fine all dogs appearing on the streets with
out tags and muzzles. All owners of dogs
are to be given notice that their animals
must be muZZled or kept in restraint for
the next thirty days. Prompt steps were
taken by the majority Of the owners OF dogs
in this place. and as a result but few stray
CANNES are to be seen on the streets of the
town.
The body Of the collie dog killed here yes
terday morning, and which exhibited all the
signs of rabies, was taken to the Pasteur
department of the City Hospital In Balti-
more yesterday by Health Officer DR.. T. w.
Byerly, where experiments Will be made TO
ascertain whether the dog was mad. 1t
was the property, it is said, Of Mr.. Luther
Brashears, living about two miles from
Laurel.
Mr.. Charles Shaw. one of the persons bit
ten by the dog. is not thought by the health
officer, DR.. Byerly, to be in danger OF any
serious effects from the bite. At the time
of his encounter with the animal Mr.. Shaw
was wearing a heavy pair of wooden trou-
sers. and it is believed the trousers absorb
ed all of the poison. Upon examination OF
the two little children of Mrs. Whitehead.
both of whom were supposed to have been
bitten, it was found that the little boy did
not receive any hurt but that the little
maid was bitten in several places.

trip came as a total surprise to everybody
In Washington. Secretaries Moody and
wilson both had planned to Join the Presi-
dent this week and accompany him for a
time Now however, that the President is
returning to Washington. Mr.. Moody will
postpone his visit west until the time for
his address before the Marquette Club Of
Chicago, which engagement he will keep.
An official report of the Presidents condi-
ton was received at the Navy Department
yesterday afternoon from DR.. George A.
Lung, the surgeon who was detailed to ac-
company the chief executive on his trips.
It was addressed to Rear Admiral P. NJ.
Rixey. chief OF the bureau OF medicine and
surgery, and in his absence from the city
its text was not made public. DR.. John F.
Uric. the assistant chief of the bureau and
who for a time was detailed to act as ply
sician to the Roosevelt family, took the re-
port to Secretary Moody. 1t was much in
accord with the statement issued by Secre-
tary Cortelyou from Indianapolis preceding
the operation on the President, mentioning
the fact that there was a bruise on the
shin and that a minor operation would be
necessary. The dispatch added that the
President would have to take period or
rest and that this would result In an aban-
donment of the western trip.
More Painful Than Serious.
From the information at hand DR.. Uric
is of opinion that the President will be all
right in very short time. Such wounds
as that described are apt to be more painful
than serious. Whenever there Is a break
in the continuity OF the skin. he said. 1t
makes the circulation of the blood In that
vicinity very poor and careful handling OF
the injury Is required to prevent any ulcer
alton. The doctor thought from his present
information that a rest Of a week or so
would cause the wound to heal satisfacto-
rily and the cause of the disturbance to
disappear.
No word regarding the Presidents condi-
tton nor of his intention to return to WASH
ington had been received at the temporary
White House on Jackson place up to mid
night last night. The general expectation.
however was that he would make his head
quarters there during his stay in Washing
ton. While the accommodations are not
adequate for the entire family. they are
ample for the President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
should the latter Join him. and a corps Of
servants, and can be readily put In shape
for occupancy.
Secretaries Moody and Hitchcock and At
torney General Knox are the only cabinet
officers in Washington at this time. They
were very much surprised to hear OF the HI
ness of the President. Both Mr.. Moody
and Mr.. Hitchcock said they had not heard
anything of 1t from Secretary Cortelyou.

listening to him. who could not understand
why he should make such peculiar facial
expressions.
The trip to the Columbia Club followed
without any feature that would give even
a hint that the great western trip Of the
President was at an end. Every one. In
Guiding even the Presidents party, outside
of Secretary Cortelyou and the physicians,
had no thought but that the program was
to be carried out to the end, and 1t was a
gay throng that marched into the club to
take luncheon and have a short rest; but in
stead of going into the dining room, the
President was taken in a private room.
where, unknown to the busting crowd in
side and outside Of the club, he was made
the subject of a serious consultation by the
physicians. His leg was barred and the
swelling examined. After a considerable
time the physicians arrived at the verdict.
The Doctors Decision.
Said DR.. Oliver: I'm order to avoid pos
sible blood poisoning setting in it will be
necessary for the President to submit to a
slight operation" and in this view all the
other doctors concurred. The President de-
by the argument that a man in his position
could not afford to take chances The
President wished that the operation, since
it was necessary. should be postponed until
he reached Washington. but the physicians
again proved obdurate. They say that while
no very serious consequences might follow
a postponement Of the operation, still there
remained possibility that there might
They gave it as their opinion that the bruse
could not be trifled with in its present con-
dition, and that no one could afford under
all the circumstances to take any chances
in postponing the needed surgical attention.
The verdict of the doctors being thus pro-
nounced there was nothing left to be done
but to carry out their mandate.
Surprise In Washington.
The illness of President Roosevelt and
the consequent abandonment of his western
