RAMSEY TO CARE FOR
CRIPPLED CHILDREN
House Eliminates Hennepin
County as a Contender for
Home

dren.
The Timberlake amendment, as
| amended by a second amendment Of
| fered by Ward Stone of Morris, was
| intended to give the commission au-
thority to look into sites in Hennepin
county and then to investigate sites
elsewhere in the state than in either
| Ramsey or Hennepin. The Dunn bill,
as 1t came from the senate, was recon-
mended to pass in committee of the
whole when the amendments had been
| killed
| w. B. Anderson of Winona made a
| strong speech in opposition to any
amendment to the original bill, and his
| effort turned the tide in favor of the
bill. He recited the history of the ward
at the ST. Paul city hospital where for
| ten years the crippled children of the
| state have been gratuitously treated by
| DR.. Arthur Gillette, a specialist in
orthopedry. He said that the institu-
| ton had grown up in st. Paul and had
| been tenderly nurtured by st. Paul peo
| pie. Mr.. Anderson sounded a warning
note to Hennepin county against any
| attempt to steal it at this time, when
| the state university was being SO gen.
erously treated by the legislature in
| the way of appropriations. He insisted
that the fight was between Ramsey and
Henenpin, but it was the duty of the
AAOoSC " piONCSt
His remarks were loudly applauded
by members all over the house.
Flower Opens Fight
Gen. M. D. Flower opened the fight
against the Timberlake amendment to
add Hennepin county as eligible for
the location of the proposed state home.
He said two sites were under consid-
Grafton in Ramsey county, to be do
mated by wealthy men, and he called
upon Hennepin county members to
stand by Ramsey and permit them to
build up a splendid charity for the
crippled children of the state.
Mr.. Timberlake declared it was not
the intention Of his county to take the
home from Ramsey county unless the
commission named by the Dunn bill
should so decide. He told of the pro-
posal to build a general hospital in
Minneapolis, and that donations of
100000 had been promised. Without a
ward for crippled children ii might be
possible that the donations might not
be forthcoming. 1t was desired to have
it complete in all its departments.
Ward Stone then offered his amend
ment striking out Ramsey wherever it
appeared in the bill Mr.. Anderson re-
sponded that in the last report of the
regents of the university they had
asked to be relieved of supervision
children to remove them from the resi-
denee of the physician who had done so
much for them.
Ramsey's Qualifications
DR.. t. c. Fulton of Ramsey said he
considered DIR. Gillette the greatest
specialist save one in the country, and
that man his teacher. DR.. Gillette was
giving his time freely and 1T would be
hardship to drag himself back and
forth to the state university to treat
the children if the home was located
| in connection with the state college.
He contended that the clinic at the st.
Paul city hospital brought the univer-
| Sity medical students to ST Paul, and
the further fact that the cripples' clinic
is there would work no hardship on the
students.
The Stone amendment and then the
Timberlake amendment were both de-
| feated, not half dozen votes being
cast for either. Then the Dunn bill was
recommended to pass without division.
Members of the Hennepin delegation
| later declared that Representative
| Timberlake was acted largely on his
own initiative in attempting to amend
| the Dunn bill. Ramsey county MEM
bers were not inclined to accept the
explanations in good faith, and there
were threats that the university would
suffer because of the unsuccessful at
tempt to make off with the pet depart
ment of the city and county hospital.
