Tor the second time She already has
served one term as president general and
one term before that as vice president
general, and the opponents to her re-elec-

operates as two continuous terms in the
meaning of an amendment to the consti-
tuition inhibiting the officers from serV-
ing more than two continuous terms. The
advocates of her reelection contend that
he amendment was not retroactive and
that she is therefore eligible. Mrs Dan

WOMAN SEEKS DEATH BY THROWING
HERSELF IN FRONT OF STREET CAR

In a fit of responsibility Mrs NJ.
w. Wagstaff, wife of a motorman en-
ployed on the Second South line of the
street car company, attempted to kill
herself early last evening by throwing
herself across the car tracks in front of
coming car. The attempt was made
in front Of her residence at S54 East
Seventh South street about $40 o'clock
last night.
Car No. 81 on the East Seventh South
line was making its outbound trip. As
the car neared the center of the block,
the mOtorman, George Peterson. saw
a woman suddenly run from the side
of the street.
II was or my 6:15 trip going east
and stopped at Owen street to let some
passengers OFF, said he. when ! saw
a woman about sixty feet ahead stand
ing close to the track. / asked her if
she wanted to get on the car and she
said No, sir We started up and were
within about six feet of her when she
threw herself across the track in front
OF the car. / threw down the fender

not going very fast at the time the car

stopped in five or six feet. The woman
had been picked up by the fender and
was not unconscious when removed
from beneath the car. She was taken
at once to her home nearby and DR..
Richards, the company physician, sum-
moned. While being carried into the
house she cried out, 1 would rather
die this way than be taken to Provo
again She did not appear to be seri-
ously injured so after the physician
had been called 1 continued on my
trip"
1t is stated that Mrs Wagstaff has
been victim of mental distress for
some time, the trouble having been
brought on by sickness for which she
has had to undergo a number Of opera
tons AT times, il is said, she loses
control of herself and wants to die. 1t
is believed that one of these spells
came upon her and caused her to try
to kill herself by throwing herself in
front of the moving car. Her condi-
ton has been such that for a time she
was IN the insane asylum. She i'm
proved there and some time ago re-
turned to her home.

GIVING MORPHINE
AN ACT OF MERCY
Medical Society Hears Discus
sion as to Ending Life.
THE END OF ANTI-PUBLIcITY
DR.. La NOTES PLAN DIES FOR
LACK OF BACKING.

A few morphine pellets, relief from
pain, the sinking into peaceful sleep,
the eternal escape from bodily ills and
suffering-such was the programme
outlined before the Salt Lake Medical
society last evening by DR.. T. S.
Wright as what the world should
sanction as a process of mercy. That
1t should be universally recognized as
the professional duty of a physician
10 end life when other relief from
physical agony is impossible was
urged by the Salt Lake practitioner.
The point came up after a pitiful
case had been examined by the
physicians. The subject. an aged wo-
man of II, was suffering from a hard,
cartilaginOus growth similar to goitre
which was rapidly growing on her
neck and threatening slowly to asphyx-
late her before many weeks or months.
Nearly every physician present agreed
that relief was practically impossible.
DR.. Wright announced his intention to
operate as affording the only possible
chance for checking the growth.
There should be a moral law to
sanction the use of morphine large
lose of morphine-for the permanent
relief of such case as this de-
ciared DR.. Wright, speaking earnestly.
The woman had been taken away from
the room by her family. at is a dread
full prospect which confronts this
patient. Otherwise enjoying good
health. of a robust constitution but
frightfully oppressed by this growth.
she has nothing before her for the re-
mainder of her days but to confront
the prospect of a slow, painful, con-
vulsive asphyxiation. a horrible death.

"She cannot enjoy the life that re-
mains to her. Tor this thing Expresses
her mind as we'll as her body. She
can think of nothing but the frightfuI
END TO which she probably will come
Already she feels difficulty in breath
Ing. OF course, it is impossible to
think seriously of giving her this per-
manent relief by the method I have
suggested, but / hope the time will
come when the world will sanction
such step as an act of mercy.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1903-02-24

There Is grave doubt whether an
operation can do any possible good,
out nevertheless / intend to operate.
This is one of those cases which a
cowardly physician would prefer 10
pass aside. A physician who wants 20
keep MS percentage of unsuccessful
operations small would not operate.
But 1 think a physician is not true
10 his duty If he shirks or neglects a
case which holds out merely the pos
slDli1ty of success with almost a prob
ability of failure. 1t would be infinitely
better for this woman TO die under
the surgeons knife than to live out a
life OF misery, and when you consider
the possibility of an operation leading
TO a cure, think it should be under
taken without a moments hesita-
ton"
DR.. Philo Jones' who was present,
took a gloomy view of the case.
There is nothing to do but to let
the victim die" said he. I'm opera
ton will not help. It will only add
TO her discomfort. 1t is a pitiful case. .
The great, hard growth on the neck
is only two months old. All the
physicians present discussed it, Civ
ing IL various Latin and Greek names.
and agreeing in only one thing-that
it was an exceedingly puzzling case.
Frost For Anti-publicity
An attempt was made by. Secretary
Henry La Motto to bring up the propo
sition OF a press clipping bureau to
keep tab on physicians who give in
formation to the newspapers about in
teresting cases. The attempt met with
frosty failure.
Il move that the press clipping prop
osition be discussed after the dem
onstrations, and that the society hold
an executive session for the purpose"
said DR.. La Motto.
II will second the motion if the sec
rotary leaves off the executive session
part of it," said DR.. Salathiel Ewing.
What and talk about this in the
presence of the reporters. whom it so
concerns?'' calculated DR.. La
Motto with a Mortified expression.
Yes, of course; let the reporters
hear" responded DR.. Ewing blandly.
Il will not change the form of my
motion" said DR.. La Motto with an
air of determination.
A long silence ensued.
The motion having received no sec
ond," said President E. c. Ewing of
the society, I'VE will proceed to the
next order of business
So the question whether the physician
who tells about an interesting case
ought to be blackballed, set for dis
cussion last night, was not cOnsid-
cred.
Another proposition of interest was
not brought before the meeting. It
was the challenge of the Utah
OsteOpathic association to meet the
regular physicians in a joint examina-
ton as TO their respective proficiency
in the different branches of medical
learning. Drs. Wright and Fisher. to
whom the proposition was addressed
finally decided that it was unworthy
serious consideration, so the osteOpaths
Will not have the privilege of meet
ing their opponents on the platform.
