DEATH DRUGS FOR
/ HOPELESS HUMANS
- - : 7T7t-- -.'-s4.Zl s ~ -
Woman Urges Anesthetics for the
Fatally Sick or Injured, in
Death Throes.
Journal Special Service.

Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-Miss Helen
Hall Of Cincinnati yesterday afternoon
startled the Humane society members,
assembled here in convention, by ur-
cling the use of anesthetics to. end the
lives of persons hopelessly injured or
in agonizing death throes from disease:
She declared she had carried a vial
of chloroform about with her for the
last two years-every time she rode IN
a train-so that if she should be fatally
injured in a wreck she would end her
misery.
Earnestly and with persistence that
commanded attention, Miss Hall en-
deavored to have the association place
the seal of its approval on the propo-
sition. .,..
While pleading for the society to
take this up as part of its work, she
graphically portrayed the tortures OF
an engineer in a wreck, pinned under
meath an engine, while the flames are
slowly roasting him. She said she asked d
for the same mercy as is extended to a
wounded animal to end it's sufferlngs.,
F'I would have merciful death by
anesthetics meted out not only to vic
dying of diabetes, consumption, cancer
and hydrophobia, added Miss Hall.
Miss Halls proposition was ruled out
by the chairman, DR.. William 0. Still,
man Of Albany, n. Y, on the ground
that the articles of incorporation OF
the society confined its operations tc
cases of cruelty to animals and chill
dren.
Responsibility Not Mans.
DR.. Stillman vigorously combatee
Miss Hall s proposition, and the audi
ence, with few exceptions, appeared tc
be with him. He said: : -
~ do not think the laws Of this OF
any other country ever will give to al
Individual, professional or otherwise
the right to terminate life. No man il
good enough to abrogate the power:
of the Almighty. Besides, in my thirty
years experience as physician l have
seen many apparently hopeless cases
that have recovered. Had | lastene(
their departing by anesthetics l fee
that certainly would have been a muir
terer in the eyes Of the Lord.
81 think a supply of anesthetic
such as Miss Hall speaks Of should b.
carried on railroad trains, but a deli
cate situation arises as to the Prope
person by whom these anesthetic
should be administered. I think it
most unwise for this association t.
attempt even within our own jurisdic
tion to settle SO mooted a question
about which there is so wide diver
gence Of opinion even among physi
clans themselves ~ .'

ing carloads of sea fish and selling
them at cost to citizens This expedi-
ent was first adopted at Solingen, but
has now spread to various Westphalian
cities, to Posen and even to Bavarian
towns.
The latest government statistics
show that the price Of meats is still
rising. The September report shows that
some kinds rose during the month / u
cents a pound.
At conference between the burgo.
masters of Berlin and other important
towns it was voted to appeal to Prince
Won Buelow, the imperial chancellor, to
take measures to alleviate the condi'
tions, since previous petitions made to
Prussian Minister Of Agriculture Prod
