 It is stated that hundreds of cords of cut wood were burned in the recent fires on the Fishkill Mountains. We don't know but it serves the wood cut ters right. They cut every sapling when they go into the woods, and leave great heaps of brush beside the corded wood through which fire spreads with great rapidity. If they cut only the trees they wanted each time, the forest would have chance and fires would not spread so rapidly .-Poughkeepsie Eagle.

wagon. I called up again and said I
would pay for the expense Of sending
the ambulance and was again told to get
the patrol wagon
DR.. A. B. Ancker said there was I'M
doubtedly some mistake as the hospital
mad received none of the messages sent
by Mr.. Tibbils.
DR.. Nelson, one of the house staff,
said he was informed by the Waterman
shortly after o'clock Monday night
that the ambulance was wanted at
Fourth and Robert streets. While the
stableman was httching up the team the
telephone rang again, and some one at
Getty's drug store asked If the ambu-
lance was to be sent. DR.. Nelson re-
piled that it would be on its way in
three minutes. Just as the wagon was
about to leave a second message was
sent over the phone, stating that the
boy would be sent to the hospital in
the patrol wagon, and not to send the
ambulance.
President Kerwin insisted that no
physician or attendant or employee at the
city hospital had any right to tell per-
sons who asked for the ambulance to
get patrol wagon.
DR.. Ancker reiterated that there was
some mistake, as only the calls from
Getty's drug store had been received a t
the hospital. The night Waterman, who
@iS"Cleu lHe lTSC IelepnOn6 call, might
nave received the one sent by Mr. lib
bills. but if the employee did he had lied,
as he had stated that he had said moth
ing, but started to find the doctor as
soon as notified to send the ambulance.
The instructions to physicians and EN-
ployes of the hospital were to send tile
wagon in all emergency cases without
asking any questions. The clerk at
Getty's store corroborated the state
ments of the house physician as to the
order from there for the ambulance, and
the further order not to send it.
