Major <ingman in his speech said: 1T think 7 hat the New Haven hospital ought to lave at least $7000 if the Bridgeport ! J lospitaI has $5000. The New Haven . Iospital is noted for their very poor reatment of patients. A short time go case came to my attention in which a very good friend of mine was 2 aken there. He told me he was tripped and left one whole hour in : old room without attention. He said Il e spent but a short time there and 5 yhen he left most of his clothes were s 1und to be stolen and the valuables L l them.

 was Charles Beach of Washington F, [e said he was reputable man and ir had no reason to doubt his state- l -F Tents. tr
