certainly keep eight or ten tons OF coal on
board, and as soon as she sighted the en-
trance to the harbor will steam right in.
Great Indignation was expressed by ship
ping men on Change yesterday that no

meet the Belvedere and bring her suffering

asked, "What good are the United States
vessels anyhow ?" The c. p. Patterson,

DIR. MOKGAN'S EXPLANATION
OF the Case of a Boy Who Died in Olem


OF the Case of Boy Who Died In Olemn
OF Diphtheria.
Editors Of San Francisco Cal: SIRs-My
attention has been called by four different
persons to your issue of the 18th current, in
which appears tie following: =" For instance,
yesterday there was shipped 10 this city
from Oiema, Marin County, the remains of
an ele -year-old boy who died from diph-
liberia, and, in gross violation of the law.
they were contained in aplain wooden coffin
instead of sealed metallic casket. The
physician who attended the case and allowed
the removal was G. Ii. II. Morgan" etc.
Now the fact is evident that the certificate
of death showed that the cause of death was
form of diphtheria, and having done this
much faithfully and well the attending ply
sician's duty ceased. Your informant speaks
of tile physician who allowed the removal"
Does he think that any physician has power
or any right to prevent the removal of any
dead body except be be a public officer
charged with such duties and powers?
However in this special case the physician
attending warned the father of the dead
child that such transportation was contrary
to law, and urged the father to comply with
the law. Moreover, the attendant physician
gave tripicate copies of the death certifi-
cate-one for the transportation company,
one for the Health Office and one for the
County Recorder. Now, the law provides
that the transportation company must have
a physicians certificate, aud that if The law
has not been complied with, the company,
through its agents, shall not carry the body
of one who has died of an infectious or con-
tagious disease. In this case the physiciaa's
certificate plainly set forth such facts; never
theless the body was carried, as above said,
in violation Of law.
Once more: When the law had been
found to have been violated, twas the duty
of the executive of the San Francisco Health
to fix the onus on the culpable parties, not
throw the blame upon the only person who
did his duty in the premises. am. yours
truly, G. +. G. MORGAN, NJ D.
