CASTRO LAND

Washington. Dec. 24.-Whether CT
priano Castro. former president Ct
Venezuela. will be permitted to land
in the United States is being consid-
cred by officials OF the government.
II is reported that he bad started from
Paris to New York.
Officials frankly confess that they
have not yet reached a decision as %
the treatment to be accorded II ne
should appear at an American port.
Technically. there is no CHARGE
against Castro, though the treatment
he metcd cut to the members OF the
diplomatic corps In Caracas while he
was the president of Venezuela and
his disregard for every representation
made by the American minister in the
interest OF Americans. who held val
liable concessions. .ncensed the state
department against him. Further
more. there has been tacit under
standing that American influence
should be used to prevent Castro from
returning to Venezuela and destroy
ing the peaceful conditions and reis-
tions with foreign countries which the
government OF President Gomez now
enjoys.
Officials of the immigration service,
who IT has been suggested might pre-
vent the landing Of the ex-presidcnt
an an undesirable alien. have SO far
no request from the state department
to act in that matter

from January O. 1911, to March |, 1912.
We find unusual efficiency in the con
duet of this office. The present incum-
bent upon taking office at once pro-
cceded to put the office upon cash
basis, thereby lcssening the opportunity
for errors, not to say anything of the
numerous losses to the county caused
by the non payment of fees under the
old credit system.
Another feature worthy of especial
commentator is the thoroughness with
which the fee charges are handled.
BY the adoption of the bureaus forms
by this office at an early date in the
present administration, the present
audit has been greatly facilitated.

One of the Most Remarkable
Feats of Surgery on Record

and the procuring OF il were too
widely different things. however,
and this was the difficulty confront
ing the physician when one OF his
colleagues casually mentioned that
a child born in one OF the wards had
just died of hamilton Here was the
opportunity.
DR., Cushing hurried to the ward.
and after obtaining permission re-
moved the brain. Then in view of
about a score of professors and stu
dents DR. Cushing performed his
greatest operation. After admins
tering the anaesthetic he removed
the back of Mr.. Buckner's skull and
with great care took out the entire
brain. which was placed on piece
of linen beside the head, and could
be seen to pulsate with each heart
beat of the patient.
The diseased portion then was
very carefully severed from the min
or brain. and while DIR. Gushing was
severing the diseased section an
other surgeon was transplanting the
irfants brain. The major brain
was left untouched. After the trans
plantation the entire brain was re-
stored to its proper place and the
section of the skull which had been
cut out was replaced
Mr. Buckner stood the operation
exceedingly well, and week ago it
, was thought that he was well
enough to leave the institution.
With his wife at his side he was re-
moved to the home OF relatives in
charlottesville, Va, but several
days ago his condition became grave
and he was sent back to the Johns
Hopkins hospital. DR.. Cushing to-
day rcplantcd tie tissues of the new
ly inserted member and late tonight
Mr. Guckncr was said to be consid-
crably improved.

Baltimore, Md, March 27.-An
operation that in the history of
science has never had parallel,
either in delicacy or in skill, has
been performed at Johns Hopkins
hospital by DIR. Harvey Cushing.
world renowned brain specialist.
and the patient. as a result is on the
road TO recovery. thus indicating
that the operation, which until a
month ago was thought practically
impossible by the best authorities on
brain disorders. will prove success.
The patient. William Buckner. a
prominent real estate dealer of Gin
cinnati. came to Baltimore Nov. %
last, suffering with peculiar affec-
ton of the brain. For weeks before
his arrival in this city he had been
in state of semi-cOma, except at
intervals. when he would awaken
seem we'll. When it was least
expected. he would fall over and
again lapse into Inconsistencies.
On his arrival here Mr.. Buckner
was placed under the care of DIR.
Cushing. His case was a puzzling
one. but after N-ray examinations,
during which photographs OF the
brain were taken. DR.. Cushing dis
covered that a portion of the brain
had decayed and frayed tissues were
causing the healthy sections gradu-
ally to become affected. The case at
that time seemed hopeless. although
Mr. Buckner seemed in no immedi-
ate danger Of death.
DR.. Gushing decided to procure
the brain of another patient as soon
after death as possible and to trans
plant Il portion Of il in the skull OF
Mr.. Buckncr. The brain had to be
healthy and from as Young per-
son as possible.
