INVESTIGATION BEGUN.
Cause of Delay to Undertakes al
Washington Asylum Hospital.

TT was ascertained at the District Dullu-
ing today that the Commissioners nave
instituted an investigation to determine
the cause of the difficulty experienced by
local undertakers in securing the removal
of remains from the Washington Asylum
Hospital The inquiry into the matter was
precipitated by the receipt by the COM
missioners of a vigorous complaint from
T.. r. James & Bro, undertakers, relative
to the delay they were recently subjected
tn in removing a dead body from the hos
pital The compliments also charged
some one at the hospital with gross
neglect
Mr. James, in his letter to the Commits
sioners, states that on May II he was
employed by a local family to remove a
corpse from the Washington Asylum Hos
pitaE He said he telephoned the institu-
tion early in the morning and was IN
formed to come after the body at once.
When he arrived at the institution Mr..
James says the attending physician was
not there and had not signed the death
certificate. He was told to return at noon,
the writer says, which he did.
Mr.. James declares that he waited at
the hospital until nearly o'clock in the
afternoon and the proper physician had
not arrived. He obtained an unsigned
certificate and drove to the residence of
the attending physician. 1904 Rhode Is
land avenue. AT the house., says Mr..
James, Il was informed that the physi-
clan was attending to his private bust
ness and would not be at home until after
pm
The writer states that he had to make
three trips from his establishment to the
hospital. and two trips to the house of the
physician, before he could obtain permits
sion to remove the remains. The writer de-
clares that the conditions connected with
the removal of bodies from the institution
have grown into great nuisance.
The matter was referred by the Commits
sioners to Dr. D. Percy Hickling, the visit
ing physician of the hospital. DIR. Hickling
states in reply to the complaint that the
conditions described by Mr.. James are prac-
tically true, inasmuch as when death &C.
ours at the hospital at any time after his
visit there the death certificate is not usual
ly signed until his next visit to the hos
pital as the resident physician Is not au
thoriZed under the law to sign death GER
tificateS.
"The real cause of the delay complained
of by undertakers," says DR.. Hickling. us
not so much in the signing of the death
certificate, but in the method of obtaining
the removal permit from the health depart
ment." DR.. Hickling recommends that the
health department be directed to allow the
resident physician at the hospital to issue

EARLY TRAIN TO BOSTON.
An Appeal by New York People to the
Post Office Department.

Quite controversy has been lately
waged between residents of New York and
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company relative to the demand
by the citizens that that railroad put into
opera ton a train between New York ana
Boston, leaving the former named city at
2:3O am. So serious did the matter become
that the Post Office Department was APP
pealed to by the citizens, who thought that
that branch of the government service had
the power to order the railroad to operate
such trains as the mails demanded. They
made a mistake. w. s. Shallenberger. sec
ond assistant postmaster general. who has
charge of the operation of the mails, said
to a Star reporter today that he has had
frequent communica tons with the president
of the railroad in question, with view to
procuring the train the people of New York
seemed to want, but that they had come to
naught and the Post Office Department
could do nothing In the matter.
THE department. said Mr.. Shallenber-
ger has the right to dispatch Its mails py
any trains which may be operated by any
railroad but it cannot compel any road TO
operate trains at any set times or by any
arbitrary schedule. They may put into
commission as fast train as they wish
and they may charge much fare as they
please but they cannot d1sbar the mails
from such a train. We have the right TO
use them all or any of them. as we see mt
1.-The train which the people of New York
want on the New York, New Haven ana
Hartford railroad is one which would carry
few passengers, If any, and the cost OF
operating it would, | have been informed
by President Mellen, be in excess of the
receipts from express and mail matter
which would go by 1t. The railroad cannot,
therefore, afford to put such a train on its
schedule and the Post Office Department
certainly can do no more than use its moral
influence in securing the train. If they put
Ii on we will send mail by it, but we cannot
compel them to put it on, and so far as L
know there is no government department
which has any such power"
