Death of Former Member of
the British Parliament.
CHARGES OF VIOLENCE MADE.
Patient, Suffering From Alcohol
ism, Treated Brutally and
Dragged, 1t Is Asserted
Valuable Jewelry Missing.

New York. Dec DEMONSTRATION into
the circumstances surrounding the death
at Bellevue Hospital last week Of Adolf
plus Drucker. former member Of the
British Parliament. has been commenced
by the police.
Drlcker. who was a wealthy mine
owner of British Columbia. was placed
in the prison ward Of the hospital while
suffering from alcoholism and died there.
The inquiry was brought about by let
ter written to Eugene N. Robinson.
Drucker's lawyer. by James Murphy. now
a prisoner In the Tombs. who occupied a
cot next to Drucker in the hospital.
Murphy charges that the attendants
dosed Drucker with frequent and heavy
hypodermic injections of morphine, be-
sides an internal dose Of narcotic known
as "snipe." and also beat him about the
head frequently and unnecessarily.
When Drucker died. Murphy declares.
the body was hastily taken to the morgue
and 1t is charged the hour of death was
misStated.
Another charge is that. though friends
OF Mr.. Drucker had several times tele-
phoned to the hospital asking If Drucker

such person was among the patients. 1t
is also averred that when he was brought
to Bellevue he had some valuable jewelry

Washington, Dec. 15.-Since the recent
annual report of Secretary Of the Treas

given rise to the question whether the
Government will not soon be compelled to
withdraw from the national banks a part
OF the public money deposited In them. In
dications are such a step will be neces-
sary to meet current expenses before the
end Of the next fiscal year.
1t is estimated by Secretary Shaw that
the Governments surplus for the current
fiscal year will be $140oo.000. while next
year there will be no surplus. but a deficit
Of $200O.000. In one way and another

a turn of affairs takes place and customs

This might be obyiated BY heavy curtail-

DEMOCRATS WIN IN BOSTON

27,OOO More Votes Than His Re-

Boston. Dec. 15.-The Democrats won
an overwhelming victory in the municipal

This Is the largest plurality given a

party will have a large majority in the
Common Council.
The city. as usual, favored licensed
liquor selling by a large majority.

CITY SANITARIUM
FOR CONSERVATIVES
Health Commissioner Simon Pro
poses Camp for Afflicted Near
Quarantine Station.

st. Louis may soon have san!tarium
for the treatment of consumptives by the
oren-air method. II the present plans Of
Health Commissioner Simon mature.
When asked his opinion OF the practi:a-
bility OF sending inmates of city institu-
tons to a proposed sanitarium to De es-
tablished in the Ozarks, Doctor Simon
said:
Literature has been left with me. and I
have received several letters in regard to
the proposed Ozark sanitarium for the
cure of consumption. but l have not yet
looked into the proposition. There may
be municipal reasons to prevent the send
ing Of such patients out of the city for
treatment, and there certainly would be
objections to the charges for treatment.
'Consumptive patients as class cost
considerably less than 81 a day, which
price, ! believe. has been quoted by the
promoters of the Ozark plan.
For some time have been considering
the advisability Of establishing a SAM
tarium for consumptives on the grounds
of the Quarantine Station. The city has
sixty acres OF land there, high up from
the river: which would. in my mind. form
1.-The experiments on North Brother Is
land show beyond a doubt that the OPEN
air treatment Is efficaciouS In curing con-
sumption. and, while the quarantine site
is not located in the Ozarks, 1t has plenty
of fresh. air and attractive surroundings.
The cost OF establishing a suitable con-
and the patients could be treated at a
much less cost.
Il have taken no steps toward putting
the matter before the board. but 1t is my
opinion that the quarantine idea IL as good
as the proposition to send the patients to
the Ozarks.
1T shall look into the proposition OF those
advocating the Ozark consumptfve station
In all its aspects, sanitary and municipal,
as soon as / have time.
Doctor Merrell Is in favor Of the plan.
but I shall have to reserve my decision
until have looked at the proposition from
every standpoint"
