A REMARKABLE OPERATION
SURGEON REMOVES BIRTH MARK
BY FREEZING.
Boy had the Form of a Fuzzy Dog
on his Face-Case Attracts
Much Attention.

New Yor. July pa birthmark
that covered one side of the face OF
Joseph Joyce, eleven years old, with
a shaggy fur has been almost entire
ly removed by DR.. Alfred Potter, Of
the Kings county hospital. The
mark bore a close resem blance to a
dog. Through a difficult surgical op-
Grafton DR.. Potter has eradicated
most of the fur and the outline, and
expects within a few weeks to effect
an entire cure.
The case of the boy has been one
of the most difficult on record, and
because of the success of the opera
ton the physicians of the Kings
county hospital believe that they
have solved the problem of dispos-
ing of ugly, disfguring birthmarks.
The Joyce boy lives in No. 80
State street with his parents. A few
weeks before he was born his mother
was attacked by a vicious Newfound-
land dog and has never overcome
her fear of the animals. The boy
when he grew up was a handsome
child, with the exception of the fur
that hid the right side Of his face.
Instead of wearing off, as the
mother had hoped, the hair on the
side of the boys face grew with
his years. 1t was of the thick tex
ture of a dogs fur, and the most Gu
rious thing about it was that it was
shaped in the form of dog.
The head of the animal was close
to the boys forehead and the other
lines in resemblance to the animal
were brought out in uncanny detail
on the boys face His mother brought
him to the Long Island College hospi-
tai several months ago, but the boy
refused to submit to the treatment.
He ran away and would not return.
He was finally convinced that the
mark which made him so conspicu-
Gus could be eradicated, and he con-
sented to submit to an operation.
DR.. Potter, one of the visiting sur
geons of the hospital, who had had
good results in this branch of work,
took charge of the case three months
ago.
His solution to kill the growth Of
the fur and to remove the traces OF
the mark was composed of carbon
dioxide and snow. This was brought
to a temperature of 120 degrees be-
low zero and applied to the face.
Take it away! 1t burns" yelled
the boy as the frozen solution was
applied to his face. He was permit
ted to feel the tube to convince him
self that it was frozen, but he made
the same outcry when the cold in
strument again touched his face.
Finally he became so violent that he
had to be strapped to the operat-
ing table during each application.
After a few months the treatment
brought results. The fur disappear
ed and showed no signs of a new
growth; the natural down showed in
its place. The marks under the skin
were blotted out and the face took
on the same boyish flush that showed
in the other cheek.
The head of the dog, however, still
is unremoved. DR.. Potter has rec
ognized the danger of applying the
treatment too close to the temple and
is going slowly in his operation in
that region. He believes, however,
that it will be possible for him to get
under the skin with his knife and to
apply his solution without atrophying

DEAD IN RACE RIOT
Races Have Bloody Conflict in Texas
County.

clash in the extreme Eastern section
of Anderson county last night and to-
day, the elimination of an enmity
between the races brewing for sew
eral weeks. Eighteen of the num-
Der of dead, according to the more
conservative reports, which have
reached here from the isolated Sec
ton, where the disorder occurred.
Other reports place the total fatalities
at between thirty and forty. 1t was
also reported that several white men
were either killed or wounded, but
each rumor as to casualties among
the whites has met an authoritative
denial.
Disperse at Troops Approach.
Tonight troops reached Palestine,
and Immediately began an overland
march of about twenty-five miles to
the scene of the rioting. The arrival
of the soldiers had wholesome ef-
feet, and tonight the belligerents are
reported to be dispensing. Further
bloodshed will in all probability be
averted.
The first advices of the disturance
reached Palestine this morning. Of
ficers were sent to the scene, local
ammunition stores ordered to sus-
pend sales and the saloons closed.
1t was quickly apparent, however,
that the situation was beyond the
control of the local officers and
troops were asked for. A company of
militia, under command of Capt.
Godfrey Fowler, former United
States army officer and more recently
engaged in Nicaragua in the cause of
the insurgents, dispatched from Mar
shall, Texas, arrived tonight.
Cause of the Trouble.
The rioting began late yesterday,
near the village of Slocum. Several
reasons are assigned as the cause for
the racial feeling. First, the re-
fusal of negro to pay an obligation,
on which a white farmer stood spon-
sor. This was some days ago. Later
a white man received notice that be
should perform road work under the
supervision of a negro. The white
man refused. Later came reports OF
secret meetings among the negroes
and an alleged confession of a ne
gro that the murder of the man in
question, James Spurger, and his
family, was planned. The situation
reached a climax, however, yester-
day, when negro was discovered
advancing on spurger from the rear,
armed with a shot gun. He was
trailed for some distance and shot by
a posse when he refused to sur
render.
With the shooting of the negro
those of both races armed themselves
and the rioting began late tonight.
Negroes Driven to Cover.
Throughout the night, the meeting
of parties of the two races was the
signal for a resort to arms, fatall-
ties attending many of the en-
counters. Finally the negroes were
driven to the cover of heavily tim
bered section and the crowd OF
whites, about 200 in number, formed
into posses and followed, scattering
over a wide area. AS the small bands
met they clashed, and according to
those returning to Palestine tonight
in each instance the negroes were
forced to give ground, finally disap-
pearing among the thickly wooded
recesses. A small portion of the
pursuing party is still in the woods
but the majority have returned to
their homes and the outbreak IS
believed to have reached its end.

Right near this spring is dis

cultured and prosperous people have
made their homes, and where every
convenience is at hand-school,

great deal of competition here among
the farmers, and some very up-to-

TO PREVENT TONG WAR.
New York Chinese Will Settle for
Death, Not Caused by Them.

New York, July TO prevent China
town from being the battlefield of a
triple tong war. the Chinese of New
York will pay the damage of a death for
which they were not responsible, that of
Chun Nov, fruit seller, on the south
east corner of Mott and Pell streets, who
was accidentally shot and killed on the
afternoon of June 26 last, in tong con-
fiict in front of his place of business.
The fellow clansmen of Chun filed a
formal request few days ago with the
clerk of the Chung Wa Kong Saw, or the
Public Chamber of the Flowery King
dom. at No. 16 Mott street, asking for an
investigation of Chuns death. The
clansmen said in making the complaint
that they would take the case into their
own hands unless the chamber would see
that justice was done to the relatives of
the dead man.
The members of the chamber acted
upon the appeal Tuesday, deciding to take
up popular subscription for the benefit
of the family of the dead man in China
This step is expected to obviate a con-
fiict between the two fighting tongs and
the chamber and also to prevent the
young men of the clan of Chun from
seeking vengeance from either the -Four
Brothers or the Don Leong, holding that
the man who killed Chun was a member
of one or the other of these societies.

Senator Carter looked gravely at the

Seeks Division of
Prudential Surplus

Newark. N. j., July Final argu-
ments were heard today and the de-
cision was reserved by Vice Chancellor
Howell in the action brought by Leo
Blanchard and other stockholders OF
the Prudential Insurance Co. to COM
pei President John F. Dryden and his
associates to distribute its $16,O00,OOO
surplus among the stockholders. in
stead of applying to the credit of
policyholders, who do not own stock
in the company. as the defendants
propose.
Robert H. McCarter, former attor-
ney general of the state. spoke the last
word today for complainants. He took
advantage of the fact that in other
days President Dryden was opposed
to the naturalization Of the company
and had so testified when he was. un-

paign contribution Of $4,000 to the
Republican national fund.
Perhaps suggested Mr. McCarter IN
his argument. President Dryden had
change of heart when he sold personal

HOW TO BECOME GOLFER.
Many Get Along Happily With Bad
Imitation Of the Game.

1t is easy enough to become golfer
if you happen to have been born in
Scotland, or even on Long Island, but
how about the inhabitant of Keokuk
or Kankakee. who has an equal right
to liberty and happines? When you
come to think of it the wonder is not
that so few people play golf, but that
SO many get along quite happily with
such a bad imitation Of the game.
Most of our inland courses are so bad
that to the uninitiated observer the
game must appear a very futile kind
of sport. In many cases the lies are
abominable the putting greens so
coarse that no finesse in the short
game is possible, and in nearly all it
is heavy odds that you cannot get
round the links in summer without los
ing several balls.
The idividual, however, does not
make the links. He has to be content
with what he can find in his immedi-
ate neighborhood. But let him, at ali
events, when he has chance. visit
a good course and watch some good
performer at work. The common jest
about golf on the English stage used
always to have reference to feature
of the game which should be absent
from all good courses Chasing pill
round a cow pasture was one defini-
ton. You tee your ball and hit it
into the next field; if you find 1t the
same day you win the game" That
was another jibe. All of which goes to
prove that when golf first became
popular in England the inland courses
We're just as bad as they are in this
country, if not worse. On real sea-
side course it is almost impossible to
lose a ball except in the whins which
used to abound at st. Andrews. but
are fast disappearing.
If you are in New York, then. 60
out to Garden City and see Walter
Travis or Fred Herreshoff hitting the
ball. If you are in Boston visit Myo'
pia. Out West they will show you az
the Chicago Golf club what can be
done with an inland course.
