Justice Asphalt in the Queens County

and the defense was ordered to have all

John T.. Mcintyre, counsel for the
Hams brothers, asked that the trial be

dition to stand trial or appear as wit

WONDERFUL OPERATION
WHICH LASTED FIVE YEARS

two weeks the union of the dental arch
was perfected.
The second operation was performed
one year later. The lip defect was SO
successfully overcome that today close
inspection is necessary to detect even the
trace of a scar. The third stage of the
work, the difficult operation of restoring
the soft palate was undertaken and sue
cess achieved when the patient was 5
years old. This operation, known as
staphylorraphy," was accomplished by
the method described by Professor Gar
retson.
December 4, this year, this veteran little
patient was put upon the operating table
for the final ordeal The soft parts COW
ering the roof of the mouth were de-
tached trimmed and replaced with
stitches to give the proper curvaton of
the vault and close the remaining fissure
communicating with the nose. Ten days
later the wire supports were removed.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Wa@n Bertha Stublow was born five
years ago she was without an upper lip,
a roof to her mouth or palate. Today
she is almost perfect in all three. This
is the result of one of the most remark
able surgical feats yet performed on the
Pacific coast. The man who did the work
is J. NJ. Meyer, D. d. s., oral surgeon TO
the North Pacific College of Dentistry,
Portland.
Yesterday the operation began five years
ago was completed The patient is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Stublow of
Sumner, Wash. She was born with the
worst form of what is known as hare
lip and cleft palate
The upper lip was divided by two ifs
sures that were continuous with the open
1ngs in the nose. The upper jaw bones
were in three separate pieces. One known
as the intermediary portion, was con-
nected with the nasal septum, the other
two forming a right and left ridge, with
a chasm between them one half inch
wide. Mouth and nasal chambers were
one-in other words, there was no roof
to the mouth or hard palate. The final
complication was the absence of soft
palate or Vellum.
q The unfortunate individual so born must
be fed with spoon to be kept from star
walton, suction and swallowing being out
of the question as no vacuum can be pro-
dueed in the mouth. As age advances
the deformity of the bones and external
face becomes more marked; the child
cannot learn to talk. but makes sounds
only understood to those well acquainted
with their meaning.
A combination of difficult operations
has made it possible in this great physi-
cal defect to restore facial appearance
and perfect speech. The first operation
was. performed when the child was 3
months old. At this tender age she lay
on the operating table under the influence
of chloroform for two hours This stage
of the operation had for its object the ap-

Janitor'S viii Makes Him Still
Terror of Munich
HEIRS TO OBSERVE TERMS
Will Forfeit inheritance If They Re-
fuse To Continue His System.
The VIII of a Tyrant,
Dead or Alive.

Munich, January Especial Cable)-
Munich establishes a record with iani-
tor who, a tyrant while alive is a tyrant
though dead
Franz Schmidt was the terror of two
Munich apartment houses for 30 years
or more, and as janitor acquired a for.
tune, which he invested in several fam
lily houses Now that he is dead his heirs
are admonished that by the terms of
Schmidt's will they must continue the
Schmidt system of terrorism, or the
property will go to charity His re-
markable will contains the following pro-
visions:
MY heirs at law shall forfeit their
inheritance if they allow their tenants
to bring into the house or keep any
dog. cat or bird
1.-The tenants of my heirs shall be for
hidden to have children, unless they agree
to keep them in the country, or at
boarding school. With young couples, only
short leases are allowed. Tenants shall
not be allowed to give children's parties
in my houses, or lodge their children
there over night.
Since the late owner OF the houses in
question never felt rich enough to keep a
to rent to persons INDUCING in that
luxury. Servant girls are gossips and
habitual distributors of burned matches.
Half the fires are caused by neglectful
servants. Besides, the average girl has
one or two good-for- nothing fellows hang
ing around her who steal all they can.
81 will allow my heirs to permit each
tenant to have a single musical instru-
ment.
Flowers are good for the garden: in
a house they only attract dust. spiders
and flies. l therefore Danish flowers.
'All my houses have hardwood floors
and [ will not allow them to be scratched
by the boots of tenants. Hence my heirs
will see to it that the leases provide
for the wearing of house shoes and slip
pers on the part of all tenants after they
come home.
1.-THE failure on the part of my heirs to
observe any one of these provisions will
mean the loss of the property as herein
provided"

great deal of commotion has been
aroused in French theatrical and news
paper circles by the dispute between the
Matn and NJ. Satdou. the great play
wright 1t has been a time-honored GUS
tom in France, which for many a year
has not been departed from. that no
newspaper shall criticize a play until the
morning after the first performance.
The newspaper critics, and other people,
including friends of authors, leading ac-
tors and managers. have always been in
vited to what is called the Repetition
Generate which is more than full
dress rehearsal, being in reality the act
ual first performance. though not pub
lie.
The newspapers were invited to this
performance before the first perform
ance" in order to give them time to pre-
pare their reports to be published after
the real first performance, but ii was
recognized thing that they should not
print their accounts the morning after
they had seen the play as "cuts' and
alterations might be made before the
first public performance, and also there
might be little bitches incidental to a
first appearance in a new piece.
The "Matin" has chosen to break away
from the rule. This paper contends that
although no money is taken from the
public for the repetition generate. the
seats Delng nlled Dy invitation, tnat this
is nevertheless to all intents and pur-
poses a public performance, and that the
managers have no right to prevent the
wider public from knowing all about it,
and that the newspapers are not doing
their duty if they do not publish it at
once, the same as any other piece OF
news.
After the repetition generate of Sar-
dou's new play, 81 Affaires des Poisons,"
the 'Matin'' came out with a full re-
port. which the other newspapers had
to wait for until the next day. Sardou
has brought an action against the paper
for breach of confidence. and the affair
is causing a great deal of discussion.
Playwrights and theatrical managers al
most universally take the side of Sardou
and his manager.
