HOSPITAL WRANGLE.
Public Doctors Charged Fee on the
Side.

New York, Dec. 31.--The Tribune says
"Some Of the features Of the present
management Of Bellevue Hospital will
receive an airing on Wednesday before
the medical board of the hospital, when
DR.. Austin Flint, one Of the examining
physicians in the insane pavilion, will
make an extended report with reference
to the case Of Luther Edgerton Newport,
st. Paul millionaire, who was exam
lned by doctors Flint and Allen Fitch,
in August last, for which DIR. Flint rem
dered bill to the family for $500.
Commissioner Kellers letter to the
medical board Of which Dr. Chas. Dana
is president, has stirred up a great deal
of feeling. In the case Of Luther Edger-
ton Newport, interested persons have
represented to Commissioner Keller, it
is said, that Doctors 4. int and Fitch vio-
lated the rules in charging for an exam
ination of Mr. Newport's mental condi-
ton last summer. Mr.. Newport was
committed to Amityville from Bellevue
on August % last. and on the following
day it is understood. the family of Mr.
Newport received the bill
commissioner Keller declares that he
will demand a full explanation from
Doctors Flint and Fitch, with reference
DR.. Flint made the following state
ment:
with reference to the Newport case,
the courtesy of being permitted to exam
inc private patients in the pavilions for
the insane at Bellevue hospital has al
ways been extended to members of the
medical board and other physicians not
members of the medical board and SO far
as I know that courtesy never has been
denied to any qualified examiner in lun-
acy, and examinations made in that way
are in no sense under the control of the
department of public charities and are
the same as examinations made else
where in private houses
commissioner Keller was so i'll yes
terday that he was not allowed by the
doctors to see any callers. The dis
closures have completely upset him and
his indisposition, which seemed trfling
at first has now developed into a SER
ious illness"
