Department to blame for the death of seven
children from tetanus. while under treat
ment for diphtheria with serum prepared
by Doctor Ravold for the city.
Some of the serum of October % was
distributed before tests were completed but
only because the physicians who asked Cor

toxin for their charity patients. Absolutely
none Of the serum OF September 30 was so
given OUT he said in conclusion.
The verdict which was rendered YESTERDAY
morning by Coroner Funkhouser and his
deputies. BoOghcr and Fitzsimmons. was
largely based on the joint report of three
expert bacteriologists employed for this
particular case-Doctors Carl Fisch. T., -
Walden and B. Meade Bolton. This report
not only declares that the antitOxin pre-
pared by the city was the cause of the cases
OF tetanus under investigation, but goes on
to say that the serum drawn on September
90 from horse that developed tetanus the
following day was distributed for use with
out being properly tested.
The experts further report that the serum
possessed not more than half the strength
or antitoxic value. with which It was cred

buildings and the United States building is
not included in the treatment of the Mis-

a clear wall. interrupted only by Doric col
umns sunk in the body of the wall. Two
tiers Of windows adorn the walls.
The feature of the structure is impOs-
ing arch which Uses from the broad step
of the main entrance and sweeps upward
through both stories of the building and
passing beyond the cornice line. enters into
the lower structure OF the great dome
which surmounts the edifce. A broad ter
race effect sets off the building the whole
length of its base. On either side of the
main arch entrance two columns of the
Ionic type add impressiveness to the central
feature. The structure will cost $4,000 and
