iSress made an appropriation Of s.. 900

SAVES FIVE MILLIONS
IN FUTURE INTEREST
Profit TO Gov -rnment in Refunding
Three and Four Per Cent Bonds.

The refunding of the and per cen:
bonds into per cents, which was be-
gun by Secretary Shaw last April. comes
to an end today.
Up 10 this morning there have been
refunded $50 .361 $50 of these bonds. To-
days offerings, together with two lots
which arc known TO be on their way
here. will bring the aggregate up close
to sSl 900 600.
Secretary Shaw is we'll satisfied with
this result. He offered TO take 500, ,000,-
900, but il was freely predicted at the
time that he would not receive more
than one-third of that amount.
It is calculated az the Treasury De
partment that the Government, through
the refunding operations, will make a
saving IN future interest payments OF
between S. .oo0, 900 and $4,000 GOO, and
that the circulation of national banks
had been increased 10 the extent oi
about $40. 100000.

DrS. Cain and Mackall
Out of Washington
Asylum Hospital.
THE COMMISSIONERS ACT
Report of the Board of Char
tiles Recommends
Dismissal.

DR.. W. S. Cain, resident physician at
the Washington Asylum Hospital. and
DR.. Bruce Mackall. inferno, will be re-
quested TO forward their designations
Immediately to the Commissioners.
This action was taken this morning
after a consideration of the report sub
mitted by the Board of Charities, which
has had the matter under investigation
for several weeks The two physicians
are charged with having neglected to
report to the visiting physician, Dr. D.
Percy Hickling. the admission TO the
hospital of Joseph Green, who was in a
dying condition.
Report on the Case.
The conditions provoking the action
of the Commissioners are best ex-
planned in the report of the Board of
Charities. which follows:
''The patient CJoseph Green) was ad-
mitted at approximately s:15 a. M. He
was received and examined by DIR. Cain
the resident physician. at the building
known as the receiving ward After
this examination. and the transfer OF
the patient to ward 2. ii was $50, as
shown by the entry on the nurses chart
"At o'clock the examination of the
patient by DR.. Mackall was completed
and treatmentsordered. the entry on the
chart showing that medicine was az
ministered at Q o. n. The case was
recognized by both Drs. Cain and Mack
all as very serious one. but notwith-
standing this fact. it was at least IO:IU,
completion Of the examination before
an attempt was made 20 notify the visit
ing physician.
Not Excusable
1T is claimed by Dr. Mackall that &,
was $50 before his examination -
completed. but his statement is
from memory. and we believe it a
titled to be accepted in contradictid
the written record made at the time: YIt
even according to his own statement, II
was forty minutes after the completion
of the examination before an effort was
made to notify the visiting physician.
This delay is especially reprehensibIe in
view of the fact that the office hour OF
the visiting physician was allowed to
pass before an effort was made 70 notify
him.
From the statements Of those who
were present at the reception and treat
ment OF this patient, and from the writ
ten record. we find that both Dr. Cain
and DR.. Mackall recognized that this
case was of such a serious character
that the visiting physician should have
been notified at once. and further, there
was an inexcusable delay before an ef-
fort was made TO give such notification.
We therefore recommend that the rec
ommendation OF the visiting physician
be approved
