THE DOCTORS ROW.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Dr. Bliss saws
that DR.. Pomerine, of Ohio, who was a
surgeon of Gen. Garfield's regiment
during the war, came here soon after
the president was shot, and asked to be
admitted to the presidents room to see
the patient. DIR. Bliss says he replied
that it couldn't possibly do the presi-
dent any good to let Pomerine see him,
and might do harm, but he promised
to submit his request to the other sur
geons; that he did so, and that they
fatty refused to assent to permitting
any visit from Pomerine. Bliss report
ed this decision to Pomerine. A day
or two later, says Bliss, DR.. Pomerine
went to the White House and went
through the reception room up stairs,
and stepped into the presidents room
while his surgeons were all absent from
the room, and that while Pomerine
was beside the president, talking to
him, DR.. Reyburn entered the room
and very Peremptorily invited Pom
crime to leave. Bliss says Pomerine
sneaked into the room af.er having
been refused admission, and because
he was turned out he has since assailed
the presidents surgeons.
