uNDERGoEs SIXTH OPERATION.
DR.. Satterlee, Noted X-ray Specialist
Suffering from Cancer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Dr Francis
l.. R. Satterlee of ZIG Percy street,
Flushing, l.. L., whose brother Henry
L. Satterlee. married a daughter of
the late ]. Piermont Morgan, is slow
ly recovering from the effects of the
sixth operation performed on his right
hand to prevent the spread of can
cerous growth. His physicians have ad-
vised the amputation of his arm, but he
is reluctant to consent until abso-
lutely convinced of the necessity.
DR.. Satterlee is an eminent X-ray
specialist and was one of the pioneers
in the development of X-ray photogra-
ply for surgical use, and it is believed
by the surgeons that the cancer, which
started in the second finger, was
caused by burns he received in his
work years ago before the dangers of
the powerful light were fully appre-
| ciated
The first two operations were of a
skin grating nature. That was three
years ago. when the trouble first ap.
| peared. Then DR.. Robert Able of IL
| West Fiftieth street removed one by
one all three joints of the second finger
operating on three separate occasions
Since the last of these amputationi

Audience Pleased With Work of Small
but Capable Company.

A good sized audience attended the
show, A Thoroughbred Tramp, in the
Auditorium last evening and manifested
much enjoyment of the work of the small
but capable company.
Binding of wife and desertion of a
daughter following fit of jealousy
which had no basis formed the ground
work of the plot, side features being
unjust accusations of theft and the usual
romance. Sidney Leonard in the char

FAvoRs GOVERNMENT AID.
Senate Committee Would Fix Railroad
Returns Under Private Management.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Temporary
legislation continuing government guaran-
teed returns to the railroads after their
return TO private control Jan. / until such
time as congress can enact permanent
legislation virtually were decided upon to-
day by the senate interstate commerce
committee.
Committee members said the Presi-
dent was determined to turn back the
railroad next January and that as there
was little likelihood of enactment of the
pending permanent railroad bill by that
time some temporary expedient would
have to be adopted.
Chairman Cummins arranged today fol-
conferences with Chairman Esch of the
house committee, Director General Hine.
and representatives of the railway exec
utives to discuss the temporary legisla
ton which he said probably would be pre-
scented this week.

THE CONSPIRACY
AGAINST OUR SOLDIERS

Immediately, sift it to the bottom
and make war upon any man or set
of men who, for personal gain, would
undertake to hold land which should
be developed, not in the interest of a
few brazen exploiters, but in the in
terests of all the people. Is there a
decent man in Montana who would
not rejoice to Sc the soldiers who
risked life and limb in defense Of
their country given, first of all, an op-
portunity to settle this wonderfully
rich territory?
Already the Morgan interests have
leased, it is said, as much as two
hundred thousand acres of the richest
reservation land. Mr.. Morgan holds
this lease for ten years and is now
paying to the, government, we are
informed, but one-tenth of the crop
produced. Why should such unexam-
pied generosity be extended to a
Wall Street firm that has made hund-
reds of millions out of the war? For
very shame, Mr.. Morgan should sur
render his lease in the interests of
the soldiers who fought for $50 a
month to make democracy safe for
the world while he and lis co-labor-
ers were piling up colossal fortunes
The Star will ask Mr.. Riddick to
amend his bill in the interest of oui
soldiers. Moreover, We assure the
people that we shall keep UP the goof
fight until the exploiters Of the Res.
ervation release their grip and in th'
name Of decency, or under the com
pulsicn Of an outraged public opin
ion, retire forever from the Grow
