THE BODY WAS NOT SHIPPED.
CITY HEALTH OFFICER REFUSES
TO GIVE A CERTIFICATE
Science Treatment nnd without
KuUwinS Cause of Death.

Yesterday morning city health physician,
DR.. ]. b. Massie, notified Justice Malsch
that child had died at lols Mckinney
avenue, upon whom he desired that an
inquest be held.
Justice Malsch proceeded to the place
indicated, where he found the dead body OF
13-months- old child
The mother of the child Mrs. A. II.
Madden. had brought her little 1S-months-
old daughter. Rose Eta. from Ell Campo
to be treated by the Christian Scientists.
She said that the child had been delicate
and puny from it's birth. That it had
been treated by physician at Ell Campo
some five weeks ago, but seemed to derive
no benefit. She being a believer in Chris
tian Science, had brought her baby here
10 be treated by the Christian Scientists,
but it died under that treatment.
Upon these facts Justice Malsch re-
turned verdict of death from neglect"
The mother desired to ship the remains
back to lei Campo for burial.
The law requires that no corpse shall
be shipped from one locality to another
unless accompanied by certificate from
the health officer at the shipping point.
made under oath, that death was not the
result of a contagious disease
In this case city health officer, DR. Mas
sic, refused to issue such certificate,
for the reason that In the absence
OF certificate from physician,
showing the cause of death. he
would not take the responsibility of
making such an affidavit as the law re-
quired, and the verdict of the coroner.
neglect did not. in any way, help him
out of the Dilemma, as 1t showed no spe
cltc cause of death. hence his refusal to
issue the certificate and the dead body
could not be shipped back to its home, de-
spite the entreaties of its mother. whoiin-
ally consented that 1t be buried here, and
she Will return TO Ei Campo this evening

and amid strangers
A reporter for The Post called on Mrs.
Madden Yesterday at lois Mckinney
avenue: she seemed to feel very keenly,
being deprived OF the privilege of taking
her dead baby back home with her. She
insisted that the child died of no CON
tagious disease, but she could not state
the cause of it's death.
1t was explained to her what the law was
in the case and she seemed to understand
it, but thought its application was hard

WILL PUT NO OBSTACLE
10 the Way Of the Opening Of the City
Schools.
MAYOR BRASHfAR EXPLAINS HIS ORDER
Which He Says Wns simply TO Pro-
tect the school Fund During
the Litigation.

| Mayor Brashear. In reference to the or
der recently promulgated by him, in eff
feet that no supplies for the public schools
would be paid for unless upon his order,
gives the following explanation of the
order. concerning which considerable com
ment has been made. and outlines In a
general way his attitude in the present
school controversy:
The notice. says the mayor, was
plain and explicit, think. There was no
intention whatever to interfere with the
opening or running of the schools. il was
simply to protect the city funds during The
litigation. 1t does not refer to school
moneys. The board recognized by the
court has as much right and power now
as they ever had to purchase goods and
supplies on the credit of the school fund
The city never paid for these supplies in
cash, but has always settled the same oy
issuing scrip. What is 10 prevent the
trustees now from doing the same thing
If there has been any Interference With
the schools 1t was not caused by me.
did not put the matter into court: that
was done by Mr. Cade and his colleagues
They brought the suit and caused the
present condition of affairs have had no
now, but have simply tried to carry out
the law and the will of the people as oe-
clared by them.
Il will not stand In the way of Mr.
Cade's board but, on the contrary. Will
assist them as far as | am able and the
court will permit, to carry on the schools
under their management until a final de-
clsion in the case Is reached Certainly
it will be better for them to conduct he
schools than for the schools to be closed.
In compliance with the ruling of the court,
! have turned over all school buildings
to the board recognized by the court. II
these gentlemen are declared to be the
legal trustees then the entire school APP
preparation will be turned over to Them
absolutely. and the order OF the court car
ried out in letter and spirit by me- | am
anxious to see the matter settled speedily
and will use every effort to have a decl-
sion from the courts as early as possible.
These gentlemen have themselves tied my
hands but so far as I am able Will 10
all / legally can to promote the successful
operation of the schools. There is no
reason known to me why they can not
open promptly on September u.s. If there
is any reason / will be glad to remove the
obstruction If properly can"

The blind Mnn,n stand.

Through the generosity OF Mr. Fred
schweikart, Mr.. j. NJ. Robinson. the blind
newsman. has been given permission to
erect his stand free of rent at the corner
of Preston avenue and Fannin street. the
city council having given him permission
to place the stand there, provided he oc-
cupies no more than thirty-slx inches OF
the walk, hence the only expense that Mr..
Robinson will incur in the matter OF es-
tablishing his stand will be the cost of its
construction and the cost of his stock.
He expects to have the stand in running
order within the next few days.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Senator Chandler ire
pubicanl. who is In Washington for few
days furnishes the Washington Post an ihter-
esting statement abou. his views on the sub
iects of bimctallism and trusts. AS usual,
the New Hampshire senator is as frank as he
is entertaining ir the discussion OF those

his repuhlicanism were not so well known.

would be taken for those of a good democrat.
as they are well In line with the doctrines
which are being advanced bv the democrats
party. He reiterates with increased emphasis
his declaration that he does not believe the
gold standard is good thing, and that he
will never be made to vote for bill which
fastens that standard upon the country.
This is the way that he, good republican,
puts It: II am decidedly against CHANGING
the existing money plank in the platform CT
the party adopted In 1896. from the advocacy
Of bimetallism to permanent acouiescence in
the single gold standard discarding and dis
approving all further efforts to restore the
double standard II the single gold standard
men demand and secure that change In the
platform dangerous mistake will be made
would never vote in the senate to cease
efforts to re.establish silver well as gold
as standard money.
1T is true continued the senator, that
the former balance of foreign trade in favor
of this country-say two thousand four hun
bred millions in ten years-has partially saved
us from the injurious effects of discarding
silver as part of the standard OF value. But
wise men will consider where we should have
been II there had been no such balance OF
trade in our favor. From the two thousand
four hundred millions we have not received
over three hundred millions in gold. If the
trade had been even, the enormous sums we
would have h. % borrow abroad. or the COLA
we would have been compelled to send abroad,
would have placed burdens upon us which
would have seriously impaired our prosperity,
and under such conditions in every case Of
panic the damage done is wider. more pro-
longed and more destructive.
