WILL DISMISS DIR. TABOR.
Result of Investigating His Treat
ment OF rTivnIe rnrreII.

The board Of inquiry appointed TO inves
tigate the charges against Contract Sur
geon Tabor. growing out of the death at
Camp Wikoff of Private Hugh Parrett Of
the Sth Infantry Cregulars), has submit
ted its report TO Secretary Alger. The board
presents simply the testimony taken in the
course of the inquiry, making no recon-
mendations.
The charges against DR.. Tabor were, in
brief. that he neglected to attend and pre-
scribe for Private Parrett, and that the
soldiers death vas due directly to the
negligence or Incompetence Of the surgeon.
The evidence taken by the board shows
that DR.. Tabor did prescribe for ParFett
and that he attended him twice on the day
of his death. Not fifteen minutes before
the man died DIR. Tabor was talking to him
in front Of his tent. The man was then
suffering from a case of acute pneumonia,
superinduced by bath which he had taxi
en- in the surf only a short time before
Parrett had been ordered by one OF the SER
geants of his company to take a bath and
to go to the cooks tent to get warm water
in which TO bathe. For some reason Par
rett did not get the warm water, but went
to the beach and plunged into the surf
The shock produced by the cold sea water
on his system, which was much reduced
by fever and other diseases. was so great
that pneumonia instantly DEVELOPED and he
died In q short time.
The evidence further shows that Dr. Ia
Dor was very cross with Parrett and that
he spoke to him sharply. This was ac-
counted for in the testimony by the fact
that DR.. Tabor was himself nearly i'll from
the effects of the hard work he had been
doing and was nervous and unstrung.
The report of the board of inquiry was
referred to Judge Advocate General Lieber
and by him returned to the Secretary of
War with the opinion that charges against
Dr. Tabor would not lie under the tesu-
mony.
The matter was then referred TO Surgeon
General Sternberg, who decided that in
the circumstances. the best course TO pur-
sue would be to relieve DR. Tabor from
duty by cancelling his contract as an army
surgeon. The necessary steps TO this end
