NO NEGLECT OF DUTY.
Or. M. J. Williams Eyonerated by the
Committee OF Poor Board Which
Investigated Charges Against Him.

The meeting of the poor beard yes
terday afternoon was somewhat spicy.
Director w. A. Paine introduced the
following resolution:
Having Investigated carefully and thor
oughly the charge preferred by Mr.. Shot
ten against DR.. NJ. j. Williams, we find
that there was no intentional neglect of
duty on the part of DR.. Williams; we
therefore recommend that DIR. Williams
be eXonerated and the case be dismissed
The charge referred to was made by
Mr.. ShOttCn at a meeting of the board
four weeks ago. Mr.. Shotten, in re-
porting the case of Mrs. Martin Carney,
Of Perry aVerue, who had sustained u
broken wrist by a fall, charged that
DIR. Williams had been called to at
tend her in a serious sickness, but he
neglected to do 50 and another physi-
elan had to be employed.
DIR. paine's resolution was signed by
himself and Directors Fuller and Muir
ply. Mr.. Brooks moved that the reso-
luton be adopted, seconded by Mr.. Full
Ter. Mr.. Shotten arose and reiterated
the charge he had made against DR..
Williams. The resolution was put to a
vote and was carried, Mr.. Shotten re-
framing from voting. Later in the
meeting DR. Paine offered another reso-
luton, as follows:
Resolved, That all charges hereafter
made against any officer, attache, or en-
ploye of the board by any member, be
made in executive session of the board,
and it shall be the duty of the president
to appoint a committee who shall proceed
at once to a full and fair investigation
of such charges and make report as soon
as such investigation shall be completed.
DR.. Paine was for the immediate
adoption of his resolution, but Mr..
Brooks suggested that the resolution be
referred to the committee on rules.
After a little discussion Mr.. Brooks

FICHLER'S CONDITION UNCHANGED.
Is Rational at Spells, but Does Not
Comprehend the Situation.

William Fichler, who was shot by
Italians in the North End Sunday, has
not showed signs of improvement since
the last report. He continues to be in
a condition of stupor and has not once
referred to the shooting.
At times he is reasonably rational,
but he soon sinks into unconscious
ness again. He has not by any means
passed the danger mark and it APP
pears that his chances are decidedly
unfavorable.
