VOLUNTEERS GAVE
SKIN TO SAVE BOY
Painful Operation for Sew
en- Contributors.

Washington, d. c., Sept 8.-(Spe-
ciaD-Seven men volunteered to give
portions of their cuticle for little
Andrew Buscher, years of age, in
one of the most important skin-graft-
ing operations ever known in this
city, performed in Georgetown Hos
pital yesterday morning. Burned
places on the boys back, neck, and
left shoulder were covered, the to-
tai of skin used being almost 2
square feet
So far as the physicians can tell,
the operation has been a success, and
the boy is doing we'll.
The grating was made necessary
by burns received by the lad at play
on August 2. The injuries of the
little fellow had refused to heal and
except to operate.
Because of the amount of skin
required, the hospital surgeons call
ed for number of volunteers. Three
of those who responded are related
to the little patient. Of the others,
one is a stranger to the boy and his
family. He is lineman for a tele-
phone company, who, hearing that
to submit to a painful ordeal that
the sufferings of the boy might be
eased, promptly offered his services.
Among those who gave of their
cuticle were the patients father and
an uncle.
There were in all nine men who
presented themselves at the hospital
yesterday morning, but the services
of only seven of them were required
Assisted by the internes of the hos
pital, the surgeon in charge prepar-
ed the arms and legs of seven of
the volunteers, washing the cuticle
with an antiseptic solution. The
boy was then brought into the opera
ting room, already under the in
fuence of an anesthetic, and laid on
the operating table. Then the first
volunteer was called forward.
AS the surgeon was about to make
the first incision with his instrument
the man turned a CHASTITY white, and
the other physicians say nearly col
lapsed.
The skin taken from the man was
Immediately placed upon the burned
parts of the boys body, which had
been prepared beforehand to receive
it. From all of the men, except
one, skin was taken from the arms
This one lost piece from the calf
of his leg.
After the grating had been com
pleted, the boy was swathed in band
ages to hold the grated skin in
place until it has had time to adj
here.
Only the outer cuticle was remov-
ed from the men. The part laid
bare by the removal of the skin was
| dressed and will be treated for the
| next few days.

BETTING AT TRACK
UNDER DIFFICULT TIES
New York Sports Try to
EVade Law.

New York, Sept. 8.-(SpeciaD-
The prohibition of professional bet
ting by the Sheepshead Bay manage
ment was further enforced yesterday
when Immediately after the first race
the quotations of betting prices were
cut out of the reports of the racing
news sent to afternoon papers.
1t was said when the betting reports
were sent out from the track on the
first day of the meeting that the prize
es were the closing odds laid in Man
haitian poOlrooms, and transmitted to
the track for the information of bet
tors who had made Wagers in the city
in the morning. The managers of the
track insisted however, that, as the
odds were not made at the track, they
should not be. sent out, as it made ii
appear as if professional betting was
going on at the track
The term professional" as applied
to the betting has not yet been defin-
ed by any track official, but it seems
now to include all sorts of betting,
and even the veteran regulars and
old-time bookmakers had to preserve
secrecy yesterday when they bet with
each other. Under the espionage OF
the race-track police it was next to
impossible for a casual visitor to bet
except by backing horse against horse
with acquaintance.
The odds obtained for the reports
in morning newspapers were made UP
not before the races, as was the old
custom, but after the races had been
run, and the winning chances of bet
tors in city poolrooms under such
conditions would not appear attrac-
tive.
The police took action in only one
case, which involved three men, all
of whom were excluded from the
grounds more for what they were
charged with having done in the past
than for anything they did yesterday
They were Martin Braul, his brother
AdOlph, and clerk said to be in
their employ.
About the most singular result OF
the suppression of betting by the
Coney Island Jockey Club came into
notice as the crowd began to arrive
at the track yesterday This was in
the activity of ''drummers or agents
of Manhattan poolrooms to get bust
ness for their employees. In some few
cases cards giving the address of poo
rooms were distributed among men
known as regulars" and steady bet
tors, but the chief activity of the
"drummers" was inpersonal solicit
tation of business and making of ap-
pointments for the morning in the
city Some even went into the race
course to find clients.
The argument used was that bet
tors could get their wagers on in
the morning at stated odds or start
ling prices, as they chose, and then
could go to the track in the after
noon to see the races run and watch
the form of the horses for future bet
ting.

HUMAN THINKING

Developed Mind at Expense

Chicago H., Sept. 8.-(SpeciaD-
Physicians have decided to present the
brain of Prof Joseph w. Krewer, a
suicide to the American Medical AS
ISOLATION as type of the man of zoos
the human thinking machine.
The decision was reached follow
ing a clinic in which leading medical
men of Cook county participated. They
met to study the brain of the man,
which higher education had develop
ed at the expense of his heart.
They conceded that Prof. Krewer's
brain was marvellous mechanism the
triumphant product of years of study
and culture in the great universities
of Europe and America. But they
contended that as his mind expanded
his heart shrank and his soul shriv-
eled until he attained the stage of an
omniscient haracter-loveless feel
ingless, expressionless, fearless-and
useless.
He was loveless because he did not
want to see his own mother He
did not hate her He simply ignored
her. The fact that he had once suck
led at her breast was nothing to him.
She was ignorant She could teach
him nothing. Therefore he didn't
want to be annoyed by her.
