The City VIII Make Test Case-Dfs-
pute with the County.
Health Officer Palmer still stands by
his resolve to comply with Mayor Ron
AIDS order to compel the county 20 care
for the city's INDECENT sick and injured
He said TO Posr- EscER reporter
yesterday that he had received no answer
TO his letter notifying the county commits
sioners of his decision and calling their at
tention TO the twelve alleged county pa
tients now being cared for at Providence
hospital &C the city's expense. Continu-
ing DR.. Palmer said:
"A man came TO me yesterday and told
had no money and could not have her
cared for properly on account Of not being
able TO pay a physician fees. He gave
his name as Robert Dawson. and said he
had been in the city about month. l
sent him to County Commissioners Gasch
for aid. This morning | received a letter
from him tDawsonD informing rue that Dir.
Cash told him that was little too quick
in sending q man to the county for aid
and that the county had no physician TO
send to attend his wife, referring him to
me again. The man appears to me to be
honest, but he is out Of work and can not
get any.
1t IS simply Impossible Tor the city 10
care for sill of these patients who come to
us for medical aid, and / understand that
tbs assistant health officer has been
dropped, and that makes IL still harder for
me. The mayor intimated TO me yester-
day that in case the county refused a
patient the city would care for him. and
then present bill to the county commits
sioners for his treatment, and that suit
would be brought to collect from the
county. In case payment should be re-
fused
~ know that the health officer in What
com never attends TO county patients, but
merely performs his duty as a guardian of
the city's health. In Spokane county, II |
remember right. the health officer of Spo-
kane city refused TO care for man who
was found sick in the streets, and turned
him over to the county physician, who
also refused 10 care for him. The man
died for lack of attention. and as result,
public opinion was aroused and the county
physician lost his job. The man who
succeeded him was instructed to care for
the next patient sent him. My situation
is similar, and look for public opinion to
uphold me in my course, as il did the
health officer OF Spokane.
'If q test case in the courts il to be
heard, 1 suppose that one of the twelve
patients in Providence hospital will fur
nish a subject. as each one of these pa
tients is costing the city S. cents day,
and il is to the city's interest to know out
OF whose pocket the money is to come"

Seattle Lumberma ans Loss Through CAL

A. S. Kerry has just returned from San
Francisco. where he went to dispose of
the 600, 900 feet of lumber sent down on
the bark Katie Flickinger. and he was
compelled 70 let il 60 At such sacrifice
that the millmen who compose the Pacific
Pine Lumber Company are chuckling at
this result of an attempt to compete with
them.
The cargo, of which about one-fifth was
flooring and large part was stepping.
was consigned to Lewis Lander, and the
price would average 50 for the whole lot.
When it arrived Mr.. LANDER was unable
to pay the freight and il lay on the wharf
piling up charges every day. Mr.. Kerry
went down to get rid of it at the best price
obtainable and finally sold il to the Stock
ton Lumber Company at about s. per |. 900
feet, the purchasers being affiliated with
the trust. Mr.. Kerry does not attribute
the failure of his customer to take the
cargo, nor his own failure to obtain q
better price. to any squeeze by the trust.
for he says the trust has enough troubles
of its own to look after and has no money
to spare for the purpose of squeezing
others, in fact he thinks it is on the verge
of dissolution. He attributes his loss
solely TO tho depressed condition Of the
lumber market in California.

Mrs. Meredith. whioh was the cause of all
tie trouble, was still before the body.
There were tears hisses. stamping and
other noises. AS soon as the meeting was
called to order there was q desire ex-
pressed that Mrs. Nancy Houston Banks,
of Kentucky. explain how Q certain deposit
tion made by Mrs. Ball, of Delaware,
secretary of the committee. came
to be published. The deposition
was IN support OF Mrs. Cunningham's
charge that Mrs. MEREDITH, chairman
of the COMMITTEES. had acted with malice"
This brought forth q great deal of femi-
nine oratory. but Mrs. Banks finally ex-
plained that the first she knew of the pub
location of the deposition was when she
saw members of the press with typewrit-
ten copies. and she at once notified tho
officers of the board.
Mrs. Meredith then made o report. in
cluded in which was the information that
every member of the committee had signed
letter. addressed TO Mrs. Palmer, asking
that Mrs. Ball be excused from further
service on the committee.
Then trouble began, and for three hours
one parliamentary question after another
was raised until even the man Who sits as
parliamentary expert at Mrs. Palmer's side
and advises her was bewildered. AS the
debate grew q large number of outsiders,
attracted by the noise. pushed by the
guards and filled the chamber None of the
many proportions made met with the ap-
probation of q sufficient number of mem.

ly adjourned in very rut11ed frame OF
