ADMISSION TO HOSP ITALS.
4 -'ew System Regarding the Care
eff ChaEity Patients

A most impqrtsAt change wiz be made
July l in thes manner Of handling such
charitable cases. as require hospital
treatment On that date a recent order
Of the District Commissioners viii 60
into effect This regulation provides tina.
after July 1 all matters pertaining To the
Issuance of permits or orders Of admission
To the hospitals for persons without
means of providing for their own main
tenauce, shall be taken from the office
OF the Sanitary Officer of the Police De
pertinent, and placed in the hands of the
Board Of Charities. The control of the
ambulance service viii be likewise trans
ferred and the appropriation of $. 010 for
the transportation of the poor out of the
city VIII be disbmsed by that organize
ton. In fact. all of the duties of the
Sanitary Officer have been transferred to
the Board of Charities except such as
pertain to the handling of the insane.
One police ambulance will remain under
the control of Sanitary officer Frank to
permit OF the rapid handling Of insane pa
tents
The change has been made at the so
Hcitation OF the Board of Charities. and
its effects may be most far-reaching. For
years such matters have been handled by
the Police Department with eminent sat
isfaction to all concerned. The ambu-
lance service has been prompt and eff
Cient. The investigation of all cases call
ing for admission to hospital has been
equally satisfactory
There have been practically no com
plants regarding the service and none of
the few that have been made had any
foundation, as was seen when the matter
was investigated
"a
admission to the hospitals has been re-
duced to a system by the police, and is
handled with rapidly and precision such
as viii be difficult of attainment by the
Charitable Association. \ further con-
sideration urged by the friends of the Po-
lice Department is that their administra-
ton Of the affairs has been made without
cost and that the appropriations have
gone in their entirety to relieve distress
1t IS understood that the contemplated
plan concerning the handling of the
transportation funds will have a double
work as the police win still be called
upon for report as to the desirabiIity Of
issuing the transportation that may be
asked for. Many times the police have
been able to locate criminals through the
transportation bureau as they have at
times when short of money applied for
relief TO the Sanitary Office in hopes that
they might be sent out Of the city with
out being identified The police look upon
the control of this fund as a most inpor-
tant matter although under the proposed
new order Of the Commissioners the 20
lice Will have the work TO do and the
Board Of Charities viii make out the or
der for the ticket If they see fit to do So
The Board of Charities has already
made an effort tofsecure the room at Po-
lice Headquarters opposite the one nov
occupied by the Sanitary Office, but it is
stated that the clothing company holding
the contract to furnish uniforms to thu

INDIANA IRON WORKERS QUIT.
Men Refuse to work Because a Ne

INDIANAPOLIS, June 20--The entire
force in the cutting and nut departments
OF the Indiana Iron Mills. at Muncfe.
the largest plant of the Republic Iron
Company in the State, IS on strike be-
cause the company permits negro to
work in one OF the departments. When
he applied for work and got place the
white woTkrneR presented a protest to the
officers, demanding his discharge, and
threatening to strike If he remained in
the mills.
The officers refused to discharge the
Colored man. and the strike followed.
When the night force learned of the
strike they also refused TO go to work.
and the two departments are idle, with
the prospect that the mills will have to
close. The only reason offered for the
strike is that they did not want to work
with a negro.
