FEAR NURSES TRUST.
Physicians Say Hospitals Are Too
Large and Women Too Pert.

Modern hospitals. the ambulance service Of the

for severe criticism at the meeting of the alumni
OF Bellevue Medical College at the Yale Club last
night DR.. W. Gilman Thompson. of Bellevue Hos
pitaI. especially severe the nurses I'VE
are in the hands of a nurses trust he said.
Dr. Russell Bellalny. the surgeon of Squadron A,
started the discussion in his paper on Municipal
Hospitals" He pointed out the necessity OF estab-
fishing hospitals Ion the firing line that is, at
various convenient points throughout the city,
which could reached readily in OF necessity.
In discussing DIR. Bellamy's paper DR.. Arpad G..
Gerster particularly indorsed a recommendation
for cheaper construction of hospital buildings.
Hospitals should be built like barracks. he said,
land as a distinguished English physician recently
said. should be burned down about once In every
five years, and then be built over again
DR. w. Gilman Thompson denounced the ordinary
ward in the modern hospital uncomfortable and
unsuited TO the multiplicity of cases treated -
"At present Bellevue Hospital is Overrun with
tuberculosis patients owing to the recent crusade,
he said. and Its hard to place them apart from
the rest"
DR.. Thompson very severe modern train
ing of nurses. cat present we have number OF
young womens semnaries. instead OF tERining In
situations The students are taught a whole lot OF
theoretical stuff that is of no use TO them, while
the practical part of their calling Is neglected The

hold out for a substantial remuneration, all back

cONBTED CASE IN COURT.
Requiem Sung Better at Opera than
Mt Cathedral, He Says.

The trial of Heinrich Conried, director OF the
Netropolitan Opera House. on charge of vto-
lation of the Sunday law in giving perform
ance of Verdfs Requiem Mass at the opera
House on the night of February IL. was held In
the Court of Special Sessions yesterday, Justices
neueI Mexican and Olmsted sitting. After the
taking of testimony decision was reserved. to
be made known next Tuesday.
Former Judge A. ]. Dittenhoefer appeared TOT
Mr.. Conried and Henry ]. Goldsmith Tor the
managers of Proctor's theatres. the New-York
Theatre and the Grand Opera House.
Deputy Assistant District Attorney Paul hro-
tel appeared for the prosecution.
At the outset Mr.. Krotel contended that as
test case the case against Mr.. Conried was not
a fair one but for the purpose in view it would
be carried through. Mr.. Krotel said the law
referred to other things than the Requiem Mass
by Verdi.
Frank c. Lennon, a detective of Inspector
Schmittberger's staff. presented the case for the
inspector. Then Mr.. Conried was called to
the stand He cheerfully admitted everything
charged against him. One of the questions asked
of him was:
rs the Requiem sung in just the same man
ner as it is sung at the Cathedral?"
NO" answered the director. quickly. 1T is
presented in much better form; better singing.
better music, better everything
This caused a general laugh in court.
The defence argues that:
AS the Penal Code carefully omits concerts
from the prohibition against the Sunday enter
tainmentS, this policy will not be held to have
been reversed by a subsequent enactment, UNI
less such holding is imperatively required. The
Legislature was undoubtedly of the opinion that
the hearing of music in concert hall is as ele-
waiting and soul inspiring the hearing of
music in a church, and for that reason did not
prohibit IT when the Penal Code was enacted:
by professional artists and is fashioned after
what may be called secular melodies
But II may be contended that the giving OF
concerts Sunday is included in the prohibit
ton Of the giving of ANY other entertainment
on the STAGE contained in the Consolidation
the previous policy, IT would have prohibited the
giving Of concerts in express language. The rem
dition of music in concert hall cannot, by any
stretch of the Interpretation be held to be Sim
viz. as enumerated in Section 277 Of the Penal
Code.
In the sixth point the defence pokes fun at the
prosecution. The brief says:
1t is not contended that distinction may be
made under the law in favor of Verdis RE
luiem." what is called sacred music Com
oerts Of every kind are either prohibited or not
prohibited The fact that the defendant is be-
ing prosecuted for the singing in the MetropoI-
IAN opera House Of Verdrs REQUIEM" COM
