missioner Ross that her sister. Goldie Gallo
way, was ordered to leave the Washington

she was able to walk only by holding on to
fences. The complainant says her sister
was sent to the hospital the 31st of last
month for treatment of her feet, and that
the complainant requested the physician in
| charge to notify her when her sister would
be discharged. that she might call for her.
The afflicted girl is said to be young and
ignorant, and was told Saturday February
Is that she was discharged 1t is contended
that she did not understand what that
meant, and continued helping about the
hospital, as she had been doing since her
entrance there for treatment.
Rosa claims that when she called at the
hospital the next day and talked with the
physician no mention was made by him or
by her sister of the girls discharge The
next morning, the complainant charges the
girl was ordered to leave without break
fast. and walked by hanging on to fences
until she fell exhausted, covered with snow
and mud, and was picked up perfectly help
less by another girl, finally reaching her
! friends about O'Clock that evening, haV-
| ing mad nothing to eat all day. 1t Is also
| charged that the ailment in her feet was
mucn worse than when she entered the
| hospital, and that her general condition was
| So low when she reached her friends that
| 1t Is not yet known whether she win re-
| cover.
| Commissioner Ross referred the complaint
| 10 the intendant of the asylum for inves-
| tlsatlon, who today reported that he called
| the attention of DIR. d. Percy Hickling the
| visiting physician to the asylum hospital
| and Mr.. Joseph F. Wallace, senior resident
| student. to the complaint and that he in
terviewed Miss Besley slperintendent Of
nurses. and Miss Laffery, ward nurse. The
| two last named, he states, say that no re-
| quest to be notified of the girls discharge
| was made to either of them Dr. 'Hickling,
! says lntendant Stoutenburgh, states that
| the patient asked to be discharged; that he
| granted ner request, and that she left the
| hospital about 10 O'Clock am. in company
4 with an outgoing patient from the same
ward. In view of these statements, Mr.
| Stoutenburgh says he sees no just cause
| for complaint in regard to the patient

Thirty Fourth Regiment Will
Soon be Complete
BEYOND THE 1000 MARK
Captain Detchmendy is of the Opinion
that Enlistment Will Cease
in a Few Days.

Captain Detchmendy, the regular army
officer who has charge Of the recruiting
in Montana for the Thirty-fourth volun-
teer regiment, has received advices from
Lieutenant Colonel Halves, temporarily
in command Of the regiment, to the eff
feet that the regiment now contains a
few more than 1000 men and ought to be
full at the end of this week, or at the
very latest the middle Of next week, at
which time enlistment will cease, and
adventurous spirits who would fight for
the flag in a western regiment will ave
to come early and avoid the rush.
The captain is very enthusiastic over
the Thirty-fourth. He says it will be one
Of the finest regiments in the service, as
only about 1000 men have been selected
by its enlisting officers out of fully 1000
applicants. Only vigorous young men,
in the pink of condition, have been ac-
cepted, and the captain adds that if he
We're not in the regular service he would
be anxious to fight with the Thirty
fourth in the Philippines.
Aside from the superiority of the men
behind the Krag-Jorgensens, the roster
Of commissioned officers will contain the
names of many gallant and distinguished
men. Lyman w. V. Kenyon, a regular
army officer who was mentioned in gen.
eral orders for gallantry in the face OF
the enemy at San Juan hill. and whose
soldierly qualities are recognized by all
who know him, is to be the colonel.
Joseph Wheeler, Jr., a son of the famous
"Fighting Joe" Wheeler, and a veteran,
though a young man, will be one of the
majors, n among the subalterns is
Lieutenant Macmillan Luna, a full
blooded Spaniard. who was with Colonel
Roosevelt's regiment in Cuba, and was
given a commission in the Thirty-fourth
upon the recommendation of Roosevelt.
Two other of the lieutenants fought with
Roosevelt's Rough Riders and were anx-
lous to get a place in the Thirty-fourth
