On this subject, the department says:
The very moment q punctured or a
lacerated wound has been received, with
the possibility of tetanus infection, To

wound may be, an emergency has arisen
of such gravity as to brook no delay
and TO tolerate no halfway measures

Of Sons Sudden Death

One of the incidents which aroused
the greatest public interest in Mr.. Hay
as a mssH was the tragic death of his
eldest son, Adelbert S. Hay, who was
instantly killed by falling from a third
story window of the leading hotel at
New Haven, Conn, on Sunday, June
%, 1901.
Young lay, who had been graduated
at Yale 1885, had gone back for the
triennsai reunion of his class. Although
he had been out of college only three

Six months later his sudden death at

which he was in the habit of twirling
from his finger.
The news reached Washington shortly
