BULLET IN MANS BRAIN
REMOVED BY SURGEONS
Penetration of Three Inches Made
to Reach Missile in Rare
Operation.

A decomposition" operation, con-
sidered one of the most serious in
surgery, was performed upon the
brain of William Frank Dement,. 20
years old. 1854 Spring road, by Surgs.
Charles Stanley White and William
Hollister yesterday afternoon at Cas-
ualty Hospital
1t was found necessary to penetrate
the right parietal lobe of the brain
to a depth of three inches to remove
the major portion of a bullet which
has been lodged there for almost two
weeks, and to drain the abscess which
had formed about the missile, which
was embedded there early in the
morning Of April 13, when Dement,
was shot by police pursuing Liquor
car"
DR.. Hollister revealed that the pa
TENTS physical status, considered
almost hopeless until the operation,
has changed for the better and there
is a likelihood of complete recovery,
although small silver of lead still
remains deeply lodged in the brain.
1t was not thought advisable to make
further operations.

tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth

named to study the triangle between
Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall.
The letter pointed out the great con-
gestion of traffic at this point now and
suggested that erection of new build
ings for both the Commerce and JUS
tice Departments within the same
block would tend to increase this con-
gestion, especially. at the intersection
of Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth
street.
The committee also recommended
further study of street layouts at this
intersection which would insure inn
proved traffic conditions and have the
