SENATOR CLARK ALL RIGHT.
WAS NOT so SEVERE
AS A FORMER ONE.
Took Only IS Minutes. but 40 We're Re-
qurred to Anesthetize the Patient
He Cables TO His wife That He VIII
Sail In Week to Join Her inFrance.


Senator William A. Clark of Montana,
who underwent an operation for mastoiditis
on Saturday afternoon, rested we'll that
night and rassed a comfortable day yes
terday. The anesthetics left no i'll effects,
the patient assmilated nourshment readily
and altogether the surgeons. DR.. James
F. McKernon of 90 West Fifty -second street
and DR.. Lewis R. Morris Of 60 West Fifty
eighth street, the Senator's son-in law,
were confident that the operation had been
entirely successful and that there was no
doubt OF speedy recovery.
In December, 1908, Dr. Morris explained,
the Senator underwent much more serious
operation upon the same ear for the same
disease. At that time the supp ration had
penetrated rather deeply into the mastoid
bone. Whistler the present illness was
a recurrence or an entirely newdevelop-
ment is a matter Of surmise, but at any
rate not much diseased bone was discov-
cred this time and only little was scraped
away
The most remarkable feature OF the case
was the difficulty in getting the patient
under the influence of anesthetics First, gas
was used then chloroform, and az last re-
sort ether. All this took forty minutes. The
operation itself lasted thirty-five minutes
and great care was taken to remove all the
poisonous matter. The Senator regained
consciousness three hours after the opera
ton began.
Late on Saturday night the Senator
cabled to Mrs. Clark in Paris that he had
undergone a successful operation and
that in a week or ten days he would sail
for Franc e to join her His secretary,
j. n. Anderson, said last night that Mr.,
Clark would undoubtedly do so within
two weeks at the most. A congratulatory
response to the cable was received from
Mrs. Clark yesterday afternoon.
Messages stating that no alarm need
be felt over the Senator's condition were
also sent to his sons, William A. Clark, Jr.,
who is in Montana, and Charles W. Clark
of Jerome, Ariz., and to his daughter
Mrs. Morris, who is spending the summer
at Morris, n. Y. The other daughter,
Mrs Mary Clark King, is touring the conti-
nent. Her exact whereabouts is unknown.
| Senator'S only brother. and vice-president
of the Clark railroad, called the Salt Lake
Route, spent most OF yesterday with him.
j. Ross Clark came on East with the Sena-
| tor and Mr.. Anderson three weeks ago on a
business trip He resides when in the city
at the Lisbon, 175 West Fifty-eighth street,
| where the Senator also has apartments.
Dr. Morris was also there much of Yesterday
| but left for four hours in the afternoon.
| At 7 o'clock DR.. Morris and DR. McKernon
made close examination Of the patient &
condition and 1t was after this that Dr.
Morris made the emphatic announcement
| that the patient was out Of danger.

PUGILIST HOGS A CAR SEAT.
FIGHTS OFF THE GUARD WITH
HIS GANG IN PACKED CAR.

Train stops, Gates Are Locked and They
Hammer 1t Out-The Gang DO Up Two
Guards and Give a Policeman Handful
One Prisoner, the Pug, Named Lentz.
Thomas Lentz, heavy set young man,
got on a north bound Third avenue ele-
waited train last night with three other
young men. Lentz found double seat,
planted himself in part Of it and stretched
his feet over the other part. The train
filled up with people on their way to Bronx
Park, most OF them women.
Ientz paid no attention to looks from
the women and kept his feet on the seat
in front of him. At Wendover avenue,
The Bronx, several women got on. One
Of them carrying baby asked Lentz to
remove his feet and give her seat.
He didn't answer. When she asked him
again he said he wouldn't. She complained
to the guard. Dan Sullivan.
Take your feet of that seat. said Sui
Ivan. .You ought to be ashamed Of your
self, and you a man.
-I'll lick you if you butt in said Lentz.
aI'm scrapper, am. My business is
prize fighting. You'd better not get gay"
The guard grabbed Lentz's feet and
showed them off the seat Lentz caught
him by the throat. Sullivan yelled for help,
and Guard William Davis ran to his assist
ance. Then Lentz's three friends got into
the fight and it was rough and tumble all
over the car. women screaming and trying
to get out Of the way, Lentz choking Sulli-
van and the others smashing at each other
with fists and canes.
With the whistle going the train pulled into
the station at l74th street. There wasn't
a policeman about and the train waited
there five minutes with the gates closed.
The passengers in the car fled and left it to
the guards, four of them by that time, and
Lentzs forces.
Finally the motorman pulled out and ran
to the nth street station. where Policeman
Nav of the fremont avenue station was
waiting. May leaped over the gate and
pranced into the fight,
One Of the scrappers met him with a
smash in the nose that brought the blood
and another caught him in the solar plexus.
Nav pulled his club and hammered right
and left. He says that if any of the pas
sengers had had nerve enough to help him
he would have collared the whole outfit.
They we're not paying nickels for chance
to fight, and he fought alone. Lentz e
three friends scrambled over the gates
and got away
May held to Lentz and got him to the
police station after tussle. Sullivan
was in pretty bad shape. Lentz had
choked him until his neck was black and
blue and he was weak and sick. Davis's
face was beaten up considerably and May
! looked as If he had been in a real fight.
At the station Lentz said he was a pugi-
Hat and lived at lie West Ninetieth street
The guards went to the station house
accompanied by half dozen women who
had seen the whole thing. They wouldn I
give their names but they said they would
Be charmed to appear in police court this
morning to testify against Lentz.
