navy, performed the operation, ASSIST
ed bg DIR. Lung, the presidents regular
physician. DR.. O'Rellly, who also was
present with the other physicians, is
the surgeon general Of the army and
heretofore has been consulted regard
ing the ease. Dr. Edward X. Stitt, an
other Of those present, is in charge Of
the Naval Museum of Hygiene and
! Medical school.
The physicians take a roscate view
Of the PRESIDENT prospects for getting
out again. He has become somewhat
restiye because of his close contne-
mrLt, and tho physicians are consider
ing the advisability Of permitting him
to take a ride in Il few days. The phy-
E!cians say the question row is simply
one of til" healing of the wound and re.
itcrate that this will be FASTENED by
the operation performed yesterday.
DR.. Shaifer called at the temporary
White House for a social visit and
found the president in the best Of spir-
Its. The doctor remained in Washing
ton during the night and this morning
again silw tire president.
Dr. Shaffc:, while he declined to dis
cuss generally the presidents case, au-
thori2ed in the most positive manner
the statement that there need not be
the least cause for anxiety OF alarm
regarding his condition. but said, on
the contrary, he could give every assur-
ancc Of the belief that the president
would soon recover.
Secretary Cortelyou issued the fol-
lowing statement last night:
"Dr Newton NJ Shaffer of New York
Joined the presidents physicians in con-
sultation this morning at 10 o'clock.
"rhe increase in local symptoms and
n rise in temperature rendered it nee
essary to make an incision into small
cavity. exposing the bone which was
found to be slightly affected Thorough
drainage is now established, and the
physicians feel confident that recovery
will be uninterrupted.
"rhc operation was performed by
Surgeon General Rixey. assisted by DR..
Lung, in consultation with Surgeon
General O'Rpilly and Drs. Shaffer, Uric
and Stitt."

COAL AT $14 PER TON
AND NONE TO BUY AT THAT.

"There Is absolutely no fresh cut
coal coming into this MARKET" said
a dealer, Gan that we have is wash
cry coal and that will pro badly cease
with tie advent of Geld weather. In
fortnight time at the longest, all
the coal men in town can take yaca
tiOn.
Manufacturersand others who have
been using soft coal for steam pur.
poses fear that the price Of bitumin-
Gus coal will reach almost prohibtory
prices in few weeks. The large
companies which were glad to sell
soft coal al 81 a fon four months ago
are now asking So, and refuse to take
anything but cash orders even at
that figure.
There was never such demand
in Wilmington for wood as fuel as
there is now. Immense quantities OF
hard wood are being brought into the
city daily and the dealers say thatlt
is largely in this way that the fam.
lily fuel problem Is to be solved this
winter.

SECOND OPERATION
WAS NECESSARY,
Presidents Knee Slightly Affected.
Physicians Reiterate That There
Is No Cause For Alarm.

WASHINGTON, Sept. o9.-Anothel
operation has been performed OIL the
abscess on the left leg Of President
Roosevelt. In the former operation O
simple needle was used to relieve the
trouble, but yesterday the surgeons
with q knife made an incision into the
small cavity, exposing the bone, which
-wGs found to be slightly affected. The
presidents case has been progressing
satisfactory, but it is believed by the
physicians that the further operation
made will hasten his complete re.
Covery.
While none of the doctors is willing
to be quoted, they give the most posi-.
tive assurances that there is not the
least cause for alarm and say that, OH
the contrary, there is every indication
of a speedy recovery, that the area of
bone affected is very slight and will
not result in any impairment Of the
presidents limb and that there is no
evidence whatever of any matter that
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently expect that the president
will be OH his feet within reasonable
time and with his robust constitution
to assist recovery soon will be himself
again.
DIR. Newton NJ. Shaffcr Of New York,
who long has been acquainted with the
Roosevelt family and has attended the
presidents children at various times
and who also Is a well known bone
specialist, Joined the presidents physi-
Clans in their consultation. 1t was no.
ticed that there had been slight rise
in the presidents temperature and an
increase in los symptoms, and the
cOuclusion was reached that the pa
tents recovery would be iastcned by
making an incisiOn Of The wound for
the purpose Of relieving the slightest
tension or swelling which was present
and also to drain the wound.
The operation was performed be-
tween and o'clock yesterday after
noon. An application Of cocaine was
used to allay the pain.
The president stood the operation
well. and subsequently expressed his
satisfaction at the successful result.

MELFI GETS A
YEAR IN JAIL.
Sentenced by Judge Bradford
Il. This Morning For Nat.
uraliZaii0n Fraud

Judge Bradford in the United
States District Court this morning,
sentenced Pietro Melf, of Philalel-
phia, to pay the costs of the case
and to be imprisoned for a term of
one year in the New Castle County
'Workhouse, for having made false
af1idavits to obtain naturalization
papers.
District Attorney Byrne called
attention to the recommendation of
the jury for mercy. At the same
time he asked for sentence that
would deter repetition of the Of
fence.
Melfi was convicted last week of
making false oath to an affidavit to
obtain Il certificate Of naturalization.
The District Attorney was sorry to
see Meli in his present position as
he was one of the dupes led into the
wholesale naturalization fraud
scheme. The Government wanted
the ring leaders, who induced the
Italians to come here and swear
that they had lived here one year
succeeding the time the certificates
were obtained, although they were
living in Philadelphia.
Many of the Italians paid sums
ranging as high as SIS in order to
obtain the coveted certificates.
During the trial and again this
morning, Melti's wife and child of
two years watched the proceedin gs-
