new LAW IS PROPOSED
LOCAL HOSPITAL CASE
Understood that City Attorney and
Attorney for Reid Hospital Board
are Considering Matter of Framing
Bill for Consideration OF Legis-
lature.

City Attorney Thomas j. Study, it
is reported in connection with the
attorney of the Reid Memorial Hos
pital. will take steps this fall toward
having the Legislature enact law
that will make legal an appropriation
by a city for the maintenance of hos
pitals given to the citizens. This
move is prompted by the division of
opinion which exists in the city over
the legality or illegality of Councils
appropriating $4,000 TO the Reid
Memorial Hospital
The hospital it is maintained by
those who oppose the appropriation
was given to the citizens of Rich
mond and not to the City of Rich
mond. This. however. was done in
order that its government might be
kept out of politics. The same board
of trustees that conducted the St
Stephens hospital took charge of
Reid Hospital. The members of this
board are elected, when there are
vacancies by the remaining members.
The trustees perform their services
gratis. The money appropriated by
Council will. it is stated. be expend-
ed only for the care of charity pat
tents who have citizenship in Rich
mond.

Cling with straps that held him down
Allen loosed them and took him out
of the sleigh, ragged but handsome
youngster with red cheeks and blue
eyes and light. curly hair He was
near four years of age then, but big
and strong as any boy of five. He
stood rubbing his eyes a minute, and
the dog came over and licked his face,
showing fondness acquired they knew
not where. Mrs. Allen took the boy in
her lap and petted him, but he was
afraid-like a wild fawn that has just
been captured-and broke away and
took refuge under the bed. A long
time she sat by her bedside with the
candle, showing him trinkets and try
ing to coax him out. He ceased to cry
when she held before him a big, shiny
locket of silver and soon his little hand
came out to grasp it. Presently she
began to reach bis confidence with sug
ar. There was a moment of silence,
then strange words came out of his
hiding place. "Anah jouhan" was al
they could make of them and they re
mbered always that odd combina-
tion of sounds. They gave him food,
which he ate with eager haste, then q
moment of silence and an Imperative
call for more in some strange tongue.
When at last he came out of his hiding
placea be fed from the woman. This
time he sought refuge between the
knees of Allen, where soon his fear
gave way to curiosity, and he began to
feel her face and gown. BY and by he
fell asleep.
They searched the sleigh and shook
out the robe and blanket finding only
a pair of warm bricks.
A Frenchman worked for the Aliens

of his invention.
And so came Sidney Trove, his mind
in strange fetters, travelling out of the
land of mystery in a winter night to

here tonight up to the highest pitch
of enthusiasm. w. r. Hearst made
one of the most bitter personal at
tacks ever heard in a New York state
campaign on former Judge Alton b.

for president, characterizing him as a
political cockroach." He followed
this up with attacks on III. II. Rogers,
Charles A. Towne, Thomas F. Ryan.

heretofore classed as democrats ana
made it plain that from now on the
most bitter personalities are to be
used by him in assailing those who
are not favorable TO his candidacy.

Incidentally Hearst declined to in
terfere in the Erie county situation
where the Independence League have
a ticket in the field opposing the dem
ocrats and the republicans. thus max
ing it plain that he intends to contin-
ue his fight against the old line DEM
ocratic bosses" in the state.

Hearst announced that he saw no rea.
son to interfere as the voters could
be the judge OF the qualifications of
the candidates for Office. This fra
ther complexities the already badly
mixed up situation in this state, while
it will drive away many democrats.
it will bring to his aid many impartial

House Cleaning Going On.
Hearst said in part:
The Independence League and the
Democratic Ihrty are housecleaning
and out of every dark hole and dirty
corner comes political cockroaches
and corporation Croton bugs and
wary old rats of Wall street that
swarm into the Republican establish
ment next door.
I'VE are not sorry 70 see them go.
I'VE are housekeeping in order to-
make them go; and they go because
they hate to have the, bright light of
publicity and the pure air of honesty
NO sooner had the democratic dis
infectant filtered into the hooks and
crannies of our political edifice than
corporation and scuttled into the cor
poration establishment across the
way.
Il have described Judge Parker as
a typical corporation attorney, man
who can be fed to hold any opinion
on any subject or argue any side of
any case, the attorney who, in the
election cases, appeared for the cleo
ton criminals in the court where he
had formerly sat as chief judge. and
there argued against the decision he
had formerly rendered and there sue
ceeded in securing reversal of his
own verdict and he did this because
the corporations that employed him
wanted him to do so and paid him for
it.
Il am glad we have driven this po-
Iitical cockroach from under the sink
into the legal laundry, where the
soiled clothes are washed by the cor
poration establishment across the
way"
