Three Recently Appointed by

DELEGATE FLYNN
WORKED HARD FOR THE SELEC-
TON OF MR.. GILLETT.
All Have Lived in Kansas-One Was
Born in Ohio and One in
Delaware.

Judge Frank E. Gillett, one of the three
new associate justices of the supreme court
of Oklahoma just commissioned by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was born in the village OF
Saybrook Ashtabula county, Ohio, on jan
uary {, 1S4S. At the age of thirteen years
he moved with his parents to Emporia
Kansas, arriving there in May, 1861 He
was one of the original seventeen students
to organize the state normal school located
al that city and it was in that institution
that he secured his education. Judge Gill
lett commenced the study of law in 1874,
and in 1876 was admitted to the bar in
Hutchinson, Kansas, and has been con-
stantly engaged in the practice of law since
then. In 1878, he moved with his family to
Kingman, Kansas and in 1882 was elected
to the house of representatives; was re-
elected in 1884 and again reelected in 1856
Judge Gillett was, in 1883, elected to the
state senate for a term of four years. Both
in the house and senate he served as
chairman of the judiciary committee. Dur
ing the war of the rebellion, when but six
teen years old, he served as orderly of Colo

HUNTING FOR A DOCTOR.
One Mans Experience in Getting Medi-
cal Attention.

IT had an experience the other night in
summOnng medical aid for a member of
my family who had been taken suddenly
and seriously i'll at an early hour in the
morning which caused me much surprise,
and / trust that 1t is not the usual expert
ence in Washington when one requires the
services of a physician on a hurry call.
My wife being suddenly taken sick, I
hustled out and rang up the nearest ply
sician- He opened his window, and upon
my requesting that he come to my house.
he said that he could not respond to the
call until morning. Very much chagrined
and disappointed, l rang up another DOCTOR
and upon his head appearing at the win
dow / communicated my request for his
immediate services. He. too, declined to
go out. To cut short long story l chased
through the quiet streets. ringing up every
physician in the neighborhood until | had
called eight out of bed Three refused point
blank to come at all, while the remaining
five said they would come around in the
morning.
GU may imagine my feelings at ca ch
successive rundown. as l was not sure
that l would find my wife alive upon nv
return. her aiiment was such that she
demanded imme date medical aid. The ninth
doctor who responded to my call, obligingly
slipped on his clothes, and hurried around
10 my hofse. where, am glad to say. his
services saved my wife certainly from Sc
rious trouble if not from death. When l
told him of my experience, he expressed
surprise.
Now, | know that a night call means n
s. fee q least. and l was more than ready
TO pay the usual rate. or as much more as
may have been demanded. My standing is
excellent in my neighbOrhoOd. and | owe no
man a dollar. but the physicians acuuaint-
ance and stranger alike said no to nv
call of course. We all know that there is
no legal obligation on the part Of physi-
res 70 COLL
my wife had died because of lack of medi-
cal attention it might have raised oues-
tion whether l could not have recovered
damages.
There is, however very strong moral
obligation on the part of a physician to re-
spond 10 hurry night call especially
where the patient has the price of the fee

graduation exercises of medical students at

HE emphasize the point that the physician
occupies a place in society individual to
himself and to his patient. and that grounds
OF common humanity toward the suffering
must always play an important part In his
practice. Most physicians place the high
honor Of their profession in administering
10 the wants Of the sick before the pecu.
mary aspect and the personal comfort
phases Of the question. To be turned down
oy eight successive doctors in one round
proved an unpleasant novelty TO me- and
a similar instance has never come under
my observation. To those who NAV he

FIRE-ALARM BOXES.
Many More Are Needed in This
Gifv

ut is to be much regretted that adequate
appropriations for all of the different
branches of the fire department cannot be
had said a District official, land re-
cent instance brings the matter to the front
regards feature of the fighting of fires,
which has apparently been overlooked in
the recent discussion of the urgent needs
of our local fire department.
"At the fire near the Webster school
few days ago the policeman who turned in
the alarm had to run two blocks to the
fire-alarm box to turn in the alarm. At
the fire on 10th street below Pennsylvania
avenue recently another long chase was
necessary to reach the box.
1.-The question at once arises: Why are
not fire-alarm boxes placed at the nearest
corner to every public school in the city.
and why are not more fire-alarm boxes
erected all over the city, especially in the
business section? Year after year Congress
grants an insufficient allowance for the
purpose named, and the Commissioners are
obliged to distribute the new boxes all
over the city to the best of their judg
ment. The Commissioners are compelled
to deny the requests of private citizens and
of citizens associations for additional fire.
alarm boxes to be erected in the different
localities where they are greatly needed.
while no such reasonable request should
ever be denied in a municipality.
THAT Washington is obliged to suffer in
this respect is no fault of the Commission
ers, it's citizens the fire department,
whose entreaties fall upon deaf ears at the
Capitol In New York they go far as to
post notices in the Railways of private
dwellings, and other buildings directing at

the nearest fire-alarm box, which at night
as in Washington, shows it's location con-
spicuously by red light Printed instruc-
tions, in clear type and in red ink. to
what to do in the event of a fire, are also
posted in buildings.
while it may not be necessary to go to
this very excellent practice In Washington
it is certainly essential that the number
of fre-aiarm boxes should be speedily and
largely increased The citys rapid and
expanding growth and the great distance
between the boxes now in place necessi-
tates at least 100 new fire-aiarm boxes. The
time lost in turning in the alarm we so
often see quoted in the daily press is mainly
caused by the insufficient number of boxes
and the hunt required to find them. es-
pecially at night. This lost time is of the
utmost Importance in the matter of the ex-
tinguishing fire, the flames gain head
way which afterward prove obstinate to
control Well-informed persons have in
mind several important fires where the fire
men were said to be slow in getting to
work when matter of fact. the de-
lay resulted directly in the failure to
promptly turn in the alarm. 1t is not too
late to receive at this session of Congress
the relief that our citizens and taxpayers
demand, and perhaps by calling up the
question and showing what is needed the
little money required may be supplied"

in different parts of the country against
the meat trust it is exceedingly interesting
to know that Judge Gilett introduced in
the Kansas senate a resolution inviting
the western states and territories, under
legislative authority, to join in a cOnven-
ton to be held, and which held in st.
Louis, in 1891, TO devise ways and means
by which they could enact uniform laws for
the suppression of what was then known
as the beef combine" That convention
assembled, pursuant to the resolution, and,
when organized. was composed of delega ties
from the legislatures of nearly all the
states and territories west of the MISSISSIPPI
pi and several states east of the Mississtp-
pi. The president of the convention was
Judge Gillett, the originator of the move
ment. A law was agreed upon which was
passed by Minnesota and other states and
territories. but it's effectiveness, however,
was destroyed by the decision of the United
States circuit court holding that it's pro-
visions interfered with interstate COM
merce.
Judge GiIlett removed. in 1892, from King
man, Kan. to Ell Reno Oklahoma, and
continued actively engaged in the practice
of law In 1898, being in strong oppo-
sition district, he was defeated for the
council (senate). but received 800 demo-
cratic votes, as he ran that much ahead of
his party strength. Judge Gillett was con-
firmed by the Senate associate justice
of the supreme court of Oklahoma on May
"A. and the President signed his commits
sion on May -.
In 1870 Judge Gillett was married to Miss
Anna F. Brown, daughter of Rev. j. S.
Brown of Lawrence Kan. and is the father
of three sons and two daughters, >alI living
with him. The two older boys are in bust
ness for themselves and the youngest boy
is studying law in his office. Judge Gillett
has been a constant and strong supporter
of Delegate Flynn since his residence In
Oklahoma, which caused a bond of friend
ship between them. Delegate Flynn's earn
est support is the real secret Of Judge Gil
