MAN WAS STARVING.
Dan Green Might Have Died but for the
Efforts Of Salvation Army Workers,

most deplorable case Of restitution
and neglect was discovered last even
ing by Salvation Army workers when
they found n man named Dan Green
lying on n filthy mattress in dingy
foul-smelling room in a negro room
inghouse on the corner Of state and
Second South street; and but for the
efforts of two Army women. and Dr.
j, s. Wltcher, the man would probably
have died from starvation and disease.
The Army women called Or. Witch
ers attention to the case about 8
o'clock last evening. They informed
him that they had appealed to the po-
lice and other officials but could not
elicit their aid In the mans behalf 1t
was crarged that both the city and
county physicians were appealed to but
neither would render any assistance,
each claiming il was the others case
II is said by an officer that City Physi-
clan Stewart said he could do nothing
unless the man was a city prisoner or
was suffering from a contagious dis
ease.
In the meantime Green was lying on
a dirty blood soaked mattress, alone
unconscious and clad only In a filthy
undershirt. A News" reporter visited
the place with DR. Witcher last night
and found that the unfortunate mans
condition had not been misrepresented
In the least. Green WAS Writhng as

fortunates. but an the satisfaction he
got was the statement Il am sorry
for him and he really ought 20 be
taken care Of"
DR., Witcher then communicated with
Mayor Thompson and laid the matter
before him. That gentleman said he
would at once take the matter up with
the chief Of police and see that some
thing was done for the man. Later
the case was reported TO Commissioner
Standish and that official made ar
rangements to have Green properly
cared for and he viii probably have
him taken to the inhrmary.
Green's sickness is directly due TO
dissipation of long standing, and in
the opinion of Or, Witcher he has not

rested many times for drunkenness and
yagrancy and when out OF jail spends
most of his time in saloons. For
three days and nights he was propped
up on chairs in "A saloon on Second
