TO OPERATION IN CAPITAL

Several years ago in an automo-
bile accident Rep. II. A. Barnhart
suffered an injury TO his side which
has distressed him more or less
since, and he was advised that the
only way to permanently correct il
was to undergo a surgical operation
for readjustment of the muscles,
and so he was operated on Thursday
noon at Provident hospital by a
Washington surgeon. who assured
the congressman that about the only
inconvenience he would suffer would
be the necessity Of his remaining in
bed for two weeks. There is little
or no doubt that the operation will
afford full relief. and the congress-
man will be ready for duty at or
soon after the reOpening of congress
