Cleveland Operation
Finally Is Described
Left Jaw Removed and Plate
Inserted July l, 1898;
No Scar Left

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.-ln an
article in the current issue Of The
Saturday Evening POST DR.. Wv.
Keen. emeritus professor OF surgery OF
the jefferson Medical College, reveals
for the first time the facts connected
with the surgical operation performed
on President Cleveland on July l, 1893.
The operation was performed on
board the yacht Oneida, belonging to
Commodore +. c. Benedict. DR.. Keen
thus describes its extent:
"The entire left jaw was removed
from the first bicuspid tooth to just
beyond the last molar, and nearly up
to the middle line. The floor of the
orbit-the cavity containing the eye
ball-was not removed, as it had not
yet been attacked. A small portion OF
the soft palate was removed"
Il was on Sunday, June Is, of that
year that Dr.. r. NJ. O'Reil!y examined
a rough place in Mr.. Cleveland's mouth.
An ulcer was discovered that was
strongly indicative of malignancy.
The operation was performed by DR..
Joseph d. Bryant, OF New York, as
sisted by Dr. Keen, Or. +. G. Janeway,
Of New York; DR.. O'Reilly, DR.. John
f. Erdmann and DR.. Ferdinand Has
brouck, dentist. The operation was
done entirely from the inside, so no
teltale scar was left, and later the
President was fitted with a rubber jaw
plate which enabled him to retain his
accustomed voice and pronunciation.
Some weeks later a second operation
was performed to remove additional
tissue that was believed to be infected.
Mr.. Cleveland died fifteen years after
the operation.

Shortage of Labor
Troubles Movers
Many Vans Laid Up by Lack
of Men at Height OF
Season

Tho storage and transfer companies
~ New York City, whose big vans year
" move the household gobds Of thou
sands of families, have been taxed u
the breaking point during the last lie"
weeks by conditions resulting from
the war.
They are facing conditions similar TO
those Of big express companies wh'ch
have been forced to declare an embargo
on business and make retrenchmentS
N meet the new demands of country
At war. Labor shortage is the priNc'-
pal trouble.
The Manhattan Storage and ware
house Company, one of the largest
firms of its kind in the United states
saw trouble ahead last summer ana
virtually retrenched before the fan
rush set in.
W. A. Meikleham, treasurer OF the
companv, said Yesterday that his com
pany. realizing that the labor market
was going TO be in a bad way, decided
business and no more.
I've have not tried to get many new
men, principally because we know We
can't get the kind we want said Mr..
Meikleham. ut is Of no use 70 try. |
don't know just how much more busl-
ness we could have done II labor con-
ditions had been normal and If there
were no more moving and storage bust
ness than ordinarily At this time OF
year. We have a number OF vans idle
in our barns, but. after laying our
plans last summer we did not expect to
use them this fall"
Increase in rental of apartments has
forced thousands of families who
would have remained in their old
homes. TO move to less expensive fats.
the draft and enlistment have re-
duced the incomes of thousands Of other
households, necessitating retrench-
ments in expenditure, and in many
cases the monthly rental is the first 10
be cut down.
Many families, not affected economi-
cally by the war, having sent one or
more sons to the colors, find they can
get along in smaller apartments.
The increase in rentals has COM
PEELED thousands of small families Of
modest means to give up their apart
ments, store their furniture and move
into family hotels or furnished rooms.
This accounts for the damned storage
houses of the city
F. S. Bancroft, secretary Of Pcase &
Gilman, company that leases apart
ments, said yesterday that he expected
higher rents next year.

troubles in Brooklyn and Queens and
were jubiiant yesterday over the out
come of the Mitchell Bennett contest.
In Brooklyn all that prevented Bird s.
Coler from getting the nomination for
Borough President over Sheriff Edward
Riegemann, the McCooey organization
candidate in Kings. >as the vote pole
by Frank J. Prial, the third candidate
in the Democratic primaries for the
same Office. The vote was Riegelmann,
2l,S55; Coler. 20,336, and Prial. 1901.
In Queens, the final results gave Bor-
ough President Connolly majority Of
800 votes over Martin Mayer, his
Democratic opponent.
Connolly was considered one OF the
most strongly entrenched Tammany
office holders, and his vote over Mayer,
an outsider, was expected to be larger
by several thousand. Mayer and his
friends in Queens announced last night
that in view Of the small Connolly
vote he probably would run on an
independent petition against Connolly
in the general election. Connolly has
always beaten all corners from all par
ties in his home borough, but the
Fusion leaders saw a good chance yes
terday for the election of Robert W.
Higbie. the Fusion candidate for
Queens Borough President, provided
Mayer ran against Connolly.
Hylan Victory Predicted
The Tammany leaders. apparently
satisfied that all the organization can
didates had been nominated, based
their comments and predictions yes
terday on the Mitchell Bennett vote
William F. Schneider, chairman of the
Democratic Fusion Committee of One
Hundred and Seventy, which nominated
Judge John F. Hylan for Mayor, and
his associates on the Tammany city
ticket, declared that the judge would
beat Mayor Mitchell for Mayor by
10000. Schneider declared that the
vote, in his opinion, was "unmistaka-
bly, a vote of protest against the
Mitchell administration. it's land scan
dals and is complete surrender to the
influence of the Rockefeller-Wa Vail
Street element"
The formal notification of the Tam
many candidates on the city ticket,
Judge Hylan. Charles l.. Craig and al"
Smith. will take place tonight at the
headquarters of the Democratic Fusion
Committee. 80 East Forty second
Street. Samuel Untermyer will make
the notification speech, and the candi-
dates will respond. IL will mark the
opening of the Tammany campaign.

Every one, from Mayor Mitchell ana
his cam paign managers to the bitterest
Of the Mayors Tammany critics, was
frankly surprised at the size OF Ben
rett's vote. Bennett himself was ap-
parently the only man who had thought
he coulHcome near capturing the nom
nation. The predictions he had made
in the matter 70 his nightly audiences
in Republican clubhouses were consid-
cred neither sound nor sincere. fVen
Yesterday his supporters were inclined
10 gasp at his presumption in crying
fraud IN the face Of his unexpected
good fortune. -,
But Bennett really believed he would
beat Mitchell. Wednesday night, in
stead of congratulating himself on the
amazing strength Of his support, as
shown in the early returns, he raved
against the plurality which Manhattan
gradually piled up against him. This
to him was the unexpected, the disap-
pointing, element, despite the ayowed
hostility of the organization. His
anger crystallized yesterday in his VIC
ious attack on Sam Koenig, the county
chairman.
