1t is to be regretted that such large
and intelligent body as the American Vet
erinary Medical association should have
seen fit to go on record as condemning
public drinking fountains for the lower
animals as a source of contamination and
distribution of disease From the humani-
tartan as well as the sanitary, scientific
point of view, it is safe to say that this
action, based upon such lame excuse, was
deplorable. AS should be known by any
intelligent observer and particularly one

REGENT CHING WRITES TO TAFT
DECLARES CHINA WILL CARRY
ON REFORM PLANS.
Hopes for Evacuation of Manchuria
by Japan-Yuan's Dismissal
Only a Family Affair.

PEkING, February 25.-The regency of
the empire has caused to be sent to Presi
dent-elect William III. Taft a communica
tion, in the form of a private letter, in
which its ideas and the attitude of the
questions now before the empire are set
forth at considerable length.
This communication is the first direct
expression of the regents views on the
various subjects touched on 1t comes at
a time when it is known that the regent
is personally anxious regarding the inter-
pretation by foreign powers o. the recent
dismissal from Office of Grand Councillor
Yuan Shi Kai and the American and
British official action following this step.
The official of the regency who COM
posed the letter to Mr. Taft lays empha-
sis upon the fact that the recent ministe
rial change was entirely family and
personal matter. and that it does not
signify any change in the internal or ex
ternaI policies of the empire. On the
contrary, the government purposes vigor-
ously to carry out reform.
In the matter of the consumption OF
as China's humiliation. 1t says the habit
can be eradicated. and that the United
States is helping to this end.
Concerning Manchuria the regency re-
cites that the United States is fully cog
infant of the recent proposals looking to
a characterization agreement to help
China in the government of this territory,
and it trusts in American aid. The re-
gency expects Japan to withdraw from
Manchuria.
Continuing in this connection, the COM
munication states that lasting peace is
dependent upon the return of the Japanese
to their own islands. Good returns be-
tween China and Japan are of paramount
Importance.
The regency sees obstacles in the way
of Japan quitting Korea. 1t entertains
the conviction that ultimately Japan will
give up her foothold In both China and
Korea

TO AGE MAN WITH CHIlO MIND
NEEDLEMAN, 27, LOST THYROID
GLAND WHEN A BABE.
Infant in Brain and Body-Surgeons
Use Sheep to Supply Deficient
Factor In Growth.

NEW YORK, February 2J.-In sense,
the doctors in the Harlem Hospital are
trying to age" Harry Needleman Born
tWenty-seven years ago, he is in physical
growth and mental development an in
fant of six.
1t may take years to age him, the doc
tors say. That is. from kid who should
have a nurse Harry may suddenly find
himseif Henry, man of forty.
His father, Max Needleman, is a tai
lor, at III East 113th street When Har-
ry was six months old he fell from his
high chair and landed on his head. Drs.
Jacob and Sachs operated on him and
found 1T necessary to remove his thy
| roid gland.
Its Function a Mystery.
The thyroid gland Is an insignificant
| looking anatomical object in the human
| trachea. the top of the windpipe. The
| most learned psychologists do not know
precisely why man is blessed with the
| thyroid gland. They suppose it's function
has something to do with the blood and
| with the formation Of mucin, which forms
| large part Of the fluid which lubricates
the mucous membranes.
Anyhow, after the child's thyroid gland
was extirpated he grew very slowly and
remained extremely adoescent
Harry has been playing with children
when he should have been associating
with men. He has been at school for ten
years and is the despair of his teachers.
His mother sent him on an errand last
Friday. AS he was crossing Sd avenue a
wagon hit him and tossed him few feet
His face was cut badly and an ambulance
| took him to the Harlem Hospital
Doctors Try an Experiment.
There Drs Herrity, Bennett and Mosher
discovered that Harry had no thyroid
gland. Studying him, mentally and phys
ically they saw that he suffered from Gre
tinism, disease that is found oftenest
In Switzerland and Savoy and such noun
famous countries.
Persons who have cretinism, the wise
doctors say. are stunted in growth; often
have goiter. wrinkled skin, pale COM
plexion and vacant and stupid counte-
nance. And Harry has most of these
symptoms.
So the Harlem Hospital doctors are try
Ing to age him. They are dosing him
| with what nature does not supply him,
as he has no thyroid gland. They are
giving him frequent five-grain doses of a
powder made from the thyroid glands of
healthy sheep.
1t may take years, but the doctors hope
that Harry will kick out the end of his
crib one morning and exclaim in a gruff
voice:
II have wasted some years, but, by
Jupiter, / am a mani!

Revolutionary SHIP RAISED
BRITISH SLooP SUNK IN 1777 IN
LAKE CHAMPLAIN.
To Adorn Colonial Garden at Fort
Ticonderoga-To Be Shown to
Visitors at Tercentenary.

ALBANY, ~ Y, February 25.-Treas-
ures of restored Fort Ticonderoga will
include a British sloop of war which
Yesterday was lifted from Lake Cham
plain near the old stone pier of the VEN
cradle stronghold, where she was burned
to the waters edge in 1777 by the Ameri-
can forces.
Mrs. Stephen H. r. PelI, a daughter of
Col Robert NJ Thompson, owns the his
toric fortification and Is restoring it as
when it was captured by Col. Ethan ~
len and his Green mountain boys.
The vessel was found on the bottom of
the lake by her husband, Mr.. Pell, and
Alfred C. Bosom. the architect In charge
of the restoration, while they were ex-
plorIng' the shore front. The sound
ings also revealed the outline Of the stone
pier, where, in the old days, according
to authenticated maps, vessels of war
were moored.
Ticonderoga was recaptured from the
British in 1777 by Col. Brown of Massa-
chusetts. The records tell that he burned
the sloop and also two smaller vessels.
All three crafts have been found and the
other two will shortly be raised. The ice
on the lake was cut away to enable the
searchers to work.
The sloop Is ninety feet In length. and
is, with the exception Of the upper deck,
in an excellent state of preservation, de-
spite it's 132 years immersion. In the
bow were two large cannon balls.
The gun which was mounted on the
sloop is believed to be also at the bot
tom, not far from where the vessel was
found.
The craft will be placed in the garden
at the rear of the fort, where in years
to come it may be seen by all visitors.
The garden itself is to be arranged just
as 1t was in colonial days.
The fort will be visited by many per-
sons during the, approaching Champlain
tercentenary in July.

Treaties With Panama and Colombia Ratified
House Holds Long Session and Rejects In
creases in Salaries Favored by the Senate.

Treaties with Panama and Colombia re-
by the Senate yesterday. In approving
the conventions the Senate, however.
adopted a resolution which Is intended
to obviate the necessity of submitting
to arbitration questions connected with
the limitation of the cities Of Panama
and Colon. Under the treaty, as nego-
tiated, this question would be submitted
to board of three, one representing
Panama, one the United States and one
appointed by the President of Peru, and
thus II q dispute of serious character
should arise two South Americans would
be pitted against one North American.
This feature of the treaty was objec-
tionable to the Senate committee on for
eign relations, but in view of the indig-
nation of the republic Of Panama at the
recent speech of Representative Rainey
of Illinois. who severely criticised Presi-
dent Obaldia. it was not thought advisa-
BILE to ask Panama to amend the treaty.
which already has been approved by that
republic. The resolution follows:
Resolved. as part Of this ratification
that the United States approves the treaty
between the United States and Panama,
with the understanding that, SO far as
the United States Is concerned no ques-
tion shall be submitted to arbitration
herein provided for which in any way
affects the vital interests of the United
States I'm the construction. operation,
maintenance. sanitation and protection
of the Panama canal, and that this un-
derstanding will be mentioned in the
ratification Of the treaty and will, in
effect, form part of the treaty."
