Health Board Appoints a
a Committee to Investi-
gate the Charges Made
By George W. MCCARTHY
He IS AT IT'S HEAD
TESTIMONY WILL Be TAKEN
NEXT WEEK WITH A VIEW TO
DISCOVERING THE TRUTH OR
UNrRUTH OH THE ALLEGA-
TIoNS.

1t was anticipated that there would be
a pretty lively meeting of the City
Health Board last night: that the start
ling charges made at the previous meet
ing by Commissioner George w. McCar-
thy concerning the management of the
City Hospital, which the Board refused
to accept, would again cause rumpus.
The fact that Mayor Pagan, to whom
Commissioner Mccarthy handed the long
list of his accusations, had recommended
that an investigation of the chargest JUS
tilted the surposition. and the arrest of
Frank Norton, one of the nurses of the
Hospital, for being drunk and creating
a scene ard disturbance in the Hospital,
intensified tae interest in the charges.
But. all the Board did last night was
to appoint a committee, on the Mayors
Recommendation, to investigate the
charges. Commissioner Mccarthy is
chairman of the committee. The other
members are DR.. Mclaughlin, DR.. Gray,
DR.. Hespe, and Commissioner Sprouts.
Commissioners Delaney raised the point
that it was hardly fair to place Mr.. Nc
Carthy at the head Of the committee, as
the charges to be investigated were
made by him. but the chair recognized
the usual courtesy of appointing the
maker of motion the chairman of the
committee appointed to investigate. DR..
Mclaughlin presided in the absence of
DIR. Gray, president of the Board, who is
i'll and confined to his home.
The plan of the investigation has not
yet been mapped out, but it viii be be-
gun about the middle of next week.
Meetings will be held at the hospital and
former patients and others whom Com
missioner Mccarthy named in his
nesses and substantiate their charges.
Commissioners Mccarthy said the case
of Nurse Norton is the first step toward
verifcation of his charges. Norton had
to be taken out of the hospital by two
policemen, who were called from the
Seventhprecinct police station.
Concerning his charges against the
management of the institution, Mr.. Nc
Carthy says that he does not believe that
Warden McAndrew is 50 much at fault,
and that he further believes that some
one is hounding him.

MEREL
MENTIONED

Former Congressman Thomas Nc
Evan is one of the newly elected MEM
bers Of the Republican County Commit
tee. He will line up with the Record
Fagar combination. Until a few years
ago tho former Congressman was an ac-
tive member of the committee and was
the recognized leader of the Twelfth
Ward. He had row with Col. Dick
inson and his career as politician was
brought TO an abrupt end. He has been
resurrected by the Record-Fagap COM
bination and it will not surprise any one
if his name appears on the Mayors list
of appointments to be announced Janu-
ary ] next. McEwan hopes to again as
sumo the leadership of the Twelfth Ward
and he win have the support Of the City
Hall crowd of office-holders.

Senator Colby was member of the
Assembly for three years. Not until the
Republican leaders refused to make him
leader of the House did he discover that
he was against bosses and corporations.
Now he is the boss reformer of the State
and he is helping Pagan and Record to
disrupt the party that has brought them
all into prominence.
The Jersey City news., 1905-12-08

AT the meeting of the Mayors League
yesterday, Senator Colby acted as if he
was the whole thing. He told what a
bad set of men the people had been send
ing to the Legislature and how he had
tried to get them to vote for measures
that were for the public good. Not.
word did Senator Colby say about his
opposition to equal taxation and other
anti-corporation bills in the session Of
1904. He was corporation man then
and about the worst Of his Kind in the
State.

Defeated in their purpose to get n~
troll of the enrolment books, the Rectid-
Pagan combination of Republicans play
ed the baby act when they appealed to
the courts to stay the primary election.
Now that the returns show that Col.
Dickinson has an overwhelming majority
in the new County Committee as a re-
suit of the elections, the so-called anti
machine faction, every member Of which
has been politician and an office holds
er for years. is claiming that the organi-
zation did not play fair. This cry Is
raised for the purpose of shielding the
crooked work practiced by the combina-
ton itself.
The Jersey City news., 1905-12-08

Colonel Dickinson not only has ma
jority of close to 100 in the County Com
mittee, but it is also probable that when
noses are counted he will have majoy~
ity of the members of the City Commit
tee also. The Record Pagan combination
likes to play to the galleries. They have
this part of the political game down to a
science. They are now claiming to have
enough votes TO organize both commit
tees. The object of this is to win over
weak-knee6 members who like to be with
the winners. Col. Dickinson has had ex-
perience with what he terms 'the great-
est bunch Of political ingratee and hypo-
critics he has ever met. and he il laugh
ing up his sleeve at their futile efforts to
deceive the Republican voters.

Jewish holiday. He was allowed to
take the liquor. Deputy Clifford and
Officer Locke inspected the express
packages, which came on the train ar
irving here at 2.09 in the afternoon.
No contraband goods were found The
deputy and Officer Locke devoted the
rest Of the afternoon to a tour Of gen
eral inspection, including Il trip to
Randolph. In the town across the
river, ordinary conditions were found.
1t Is suspected, even by high Off
Gals. that Il new deputy enforcement
commissioners has been appointed or
that the appointment Of Il Gardiner
man is about to be made The man
who is thought to be q prospective
deputy has had considerable experience
in police duties ana has taken an ac-
tive part III the present enforcement
campaign. The likelihood Of this
rumor is strengthened by the fact that
the appointment Of a man from this
plac" has long been considered.
The woman of notoriety, who was
warned bV Marshal Andrews To leave
Gardiner, is known to have left
the city. Her whereabouts at present
are unknown. 1t is no longer thought
that Randolph is her chosen field. She
probably has come to realize the
strength of popular sentiment, and has
sought a haven in some up-river town.

Excessive coffee drinking, City
Hospital physicians say, is the cause of
little Johnnie Murphy'S heart disease.
Although only years old, he has one
of the worst cases of heart lesion that
has ever come to the institution.
When he entered the hospital the
chld'S heart was beating 160 to the.
minute just twice the normal rate for
Il child of his age. For one month he
has had no coffee and his heart action
has been reduced to 100 beats a minute.
For two years the child has been
drinking from nine to twelve cups Of
strong coffee every day. He began to
complain of pains as if needles were
sticking i'll his heart. ana for Il year has
slept scarcely three hours a night, ana
then only when sitting propped up in q
chair beside an open window.
Johnnie did not care Tor things to
eat; coffee was all the food he craVcd
ana EXCEPT when cake or candy was
given him, he took no other nOuriSh-
