RESIDENT DOCTOR
NOT DOCTOR IN LAW
Curious Situation at Wash
ington Asylum Hospital.
WOODWARD'S DISCLOSURE
Delay of COrpSes Due to Requirements
of Law That Only Physicians
Can Sign Certificates.

The Health Department today denied
that it is responsible for the alleged
difficulty experienced by the undertake
ers of this city in removing dead bodies
from the Washington Asylum Hospital.
Dr. Woodward. District Health officer.
submitted to the Commissioners a scath-
ing and emphatic answer 10 the charge
that the Health Department ought to
be held responsible.
After speaking of the specific com
plant made to the Commissioners by
one undertaken that he had to spend
the greater part of one day making
trips to the hospital and to the resi-
dence of the visiting physician in order
TO have the death certificate sisned-a
preliminary necessary for the removal
OF the corpse-Dr. Woodward makes
the following explanation:
1T is not within the province of the
Health Department to say whether
these conditions were or were not due
to negligence on the part of the officer
or officers involved IN the occurrence. or
on the part OF the visiting physician.
but the Health Department must pro-
test against having the responsibility
therefor attributed to it.
80. Tar as relates to that portion of
the report Of the visiting physician
which states that the resident physician
of the Washington Asylum Hospital is
not under the law authorized to sign
death certificates, attention is called to
the fact that his incapacity is due mere
~ 10 the fact that he IS not a legally
qualified practitioner of medicine In the
District OF Columbia.
If he were so qualified, and the ad-
visibility of requiring at least the resi-
dent physician Of the institution. II
not the junior assistants, TO be so quail
fed is respectfully submitted to tho
Commissioners. he might lawfully sign
the death certificates for patients who
die in the hospital, such patients being
practically under the joint professional
care, as IL were. Of the resident and the
visiting physicians"

WHO pRosEcUTEs THE rRusTsa

So much has been charged up against
the Republican party as TO the trusts
and there mas been so much said about
Roosevelt and the attorney general fav-
oring them and so forth, that the New
York World has taken occasion to re-
buke its own party for making such
charges and INDUCING in such talk. The
World is reliable authority on this
subject and it sizes the situation up ae-
curately. Read what it mas to say and
YOU will agree with it, if you are at all
acquainted with the facst:
81. The Antitrust law was framed
by Republican, pas passed by a Re.
publican house and Republican senate.
was signed by Republican President.
80. The law remained a dead letter
on the statute books during the entire
second term of Grover Cleveland.

four years of Democratic administration

II. There is where there should be
complaint That is the convention
against which complaint Is just and
proper. No citizen need feel that he
ought to abide By The work of that
dark-ehamber proceeding. He could not
have gotten in, if ne had known about
it and, again they did not want him in
it, or they would have invited him
to take hand Still further they have
no right to now expect him TO support a
ticket, which they would not have per
mitted him to help select. That little
star chamber crowd has begun to see
that it is better always to be open and
above board and they will have thi-
fact more deeply impressed on theil
minds on election day.

THE srAR-cHAMBER TICKET.


Due notice was given of the Republican
primaries. No snap conventions were re.
sorted to as was the case only few
years ago when one OF the posing reform.
ers in this campaign was chairman of the
Republican committee. Every Republi,
can within the city limits, who had lived
here the length of time the law required
was entitled to go to attend the primaries
and to have voice in them. II he did
not go, it is his fault, and, ii he were
willing for those who did attend, to
name delegates to the city convention
and TO nominate councilmen, he ought
to be reasonable enough to abide by
their decision. Certainly, he should moi
now complain. The same is true of the
Democratic primaries and convention ex,
cept that the time in which the public
was notified of the meetings was much
shorter than that given by the Repub-
leans. and, on that account il il very
possible that many Democrats did not
know about them until after they had
been held. But in the case Of the al
legged Citizens convention no notice of
aud kind was ever issued and only half
dozen fellows, who held the convention.

who pretended that the law was uncon.

toward prosecuting yiolators of it.

law was made by Theodore Roosevelt, a
Republican president. The first attorney
general to vigorously prosecute offenders
and to test the law was Republican At
