DIR. MORGAN GOES TO TIE TOMS
Admits MistemcanOr. but Not Manslaughter
Missing Doctor Woman.

DR.. George Z. Morgan, who signed the
death certificate Of Mamie Jeanette Thomp-
son. the victim Of criminal operation
performed at the -sanitarium" OF Dr. Grin
B. Kinney and the missing "Dr. Sohenck"
at l65 West Forty-seventh street, was
committed to the Tombe yesterday in
default of 5000 bail. There Is at present
no formal charge against DR.. Morgan, but
he is held for further examination.
DR.. Morgan told Coroner scholer that
he had signed the death certificate Of the
girl and assigned the cause OF death with
Morgan said that DR.. Kinney had assured
him that the case was perfectly regular,
but had said that the Board Of Health was
after him and that no matter what cause
Of death was given an investigation would
follow il his name appeared on a certificate
Of death. DR.. Morgan said that he signed
the paper as a favor to his friend and stated
that he believed such favors 20 be rather
common among physicians.
In the midst Of DR.. Morgan's talk the
Coroner suggested that he had better OBJ
tain the advice Of lawyer before COM
hitting himself.
Il am telling the truth, replied the doc
tor, "and can't see how lawyer can help
any. l admit my fault and am ready to
take the consequences"
The signing of false certificate Of death
is punishable by fine Of 81 900. a year in
prison, or both. For manslaughter one
may incur heavier penalty, but on that
score Morgan's defense is that he knew
nothing of the case. A man who said he
was Clark Greenwood and worth $4,000
offered to 60 on the doctors bond but could
get no one to identify him, although the
Coroner waited an hour for that purpose
Coroner Scholer said that "Schenck'
is woman and the real head Of the "sani
tarium." He said that a paper was found
in the deserted rooms certifying that Grin
B. Kinney had performed faithful ser
vice" of several months at the Lying-in
Hospital. The Coroner believes that Kinney
was employed at the hospital up to Jan.
OF this year and was then hired by the
woman -Schenck." At the Lying-in Hos
pital it was said yesterday that no one OF
the name of Kinney had ever been en-
ployed there in any capacity.

C.. F. u. TALKS IMMIGRATION.
One Delegate Declares That the Talk OF
Restriction Is Due to Selflshness.

Restriction Is Due to Selfshness.
j. W. Sullivan, editor Of the official organ
of the United Garment Workers, who spoke
before the New York Civic Federation some
weeks ago In advocacy of restriction Of i'm
migration. got the floor at yesterdays
meeting Of the Central Federated Union to
speak on the subject. Sullivan said that
the assertions that the great bulk Of the
people now coming to this country were
desirable were misleading. He believed in
either some kind Of an exclusion policy or
practical restriction of immigrants.
Il say" he continued. that the labor
unions ought to have the principal voice
in the matter. Last year $4,000 tailors ar
rived here from Europe. They will be
competing with the union men here. Twenty
Of employers that we have now and labor
should have the most voice In saying what
immigrants should come here.
Ephraim Kaufman of the United Gar
ment Workers, after sullivan had finished
wanted a set of resolutions read in reference
to the subject. This was strenuously op,,
posed by several delegates on the ground
that it was too hot, and motion was made
to table them for the present. James Daily
of the Dock Workers Union supported this
proposition.
Il think it would be unfair to inAict any
further punishment en- this body at the
present." he said.
When the mot ion to table the resolutions
was put to the meeting James p. Archibald
of the Paper Hangers Union, who is secre-
tary of the New York Civic Federation,
protested.
1T is no. fair to withdraw these resolu-
TONS he said. mo matter what they are
/ think statements have been made here
which it is in the interests Of the labor unions
to discuss. We have no right to take a
narrow view of the question OF immigration.
The policy is an absolutely selfish one and
statistics show that it is false one. Why
should people who come here and reap the
benefits of the freedom and opportunity OF
this country seek to deny it to others"
The chairman would not allow Archibald
to proceed Archibald got round of APP
plause, all the same. 1t was then decided
to table the resolutions until some future
time

LAWS BY THE GREAT GROSS.
Citizens Union Suggests That the Tinker
inE Business Is Overd one.

The Citizens Unions committee on legis-
lation has prepared a report on the last
session Of the Legislature, which says that
the number of bills introduced was over
2,eoO. The number which finally became
law was 100. OF the total 1900. 720 are
strictly local bills. Ninety-n amended
the Forest Fish and Game act.
If it costs $3.50 to pass a bill, as Gov.
Higgins has just pointed out says the
committee, "then SIS 600 is too much to
pay in these days of State economy for
changes in the Forest, Fish and Game
act. The Commissioner of Forest, Fish
and Game might better be given the power
to change the open and close season for
game rather than waste legislative time
and money. So, too, there should be de-
vised way to stop the bills comforting

DEBS FLEES UNIONISM?
He Pays Little Attention to the Industrial
Workers, VINO Would Save the World.

CHICAGO, July s.-That Eugene v Debs,
who has been regarded as the head and
front of the industrial unionist movement,
practically has withdrawn from the Indus
trial Workers of the World, the new inter
national labor union who h was launched
yesterday by the convention at Brands
Hall, became the general understanding
when he was not present to be installed as
a member.
This practically knocks the new organi-
zation in the head at its inception. because
only minor lights are left in control of the
movement, which is organized for the pur-
pose Of saving the world in general.
Dehe. who was looked upon as the oracle
and inspiration OF the convention has not
been present at a session since last week.
when he made a speech denouncing Com
pers and Shea "a nisleaders of the working
class and declared that pure and simple
unionism had outgrown its usefulness. He
is said to have become disguised with the
radical faction which gained control Of the
convention, and TO have gone to North
Dakota to make Socialist speeches to the
farmers.

modest, the mercury having attained only
81 degrees at O'Clock In the afternoon.
The Weather Bureau does not record the

pretty close to precipitation Naturally

has been known to kill cattle when news

The breeze was all day from the south,
and that was the reservoir Of heat. 1t was
not the remote South, where 1t was pleasant
enough, but a district around Norfolk and

street and attended by hospital doctors
