Manager A. Stevenson, who looks after

a published statement that the French
Cablg company has Withdrawn a wire
service furnished TO his company, or can
oelled any contract made with IL, on ac-
count OF allegations that the cable wire
was being used for the dissemination of
pool room returns.

that we have never had any wire service

man William X. Reynolds. a member OF

replied.
When asked IL he intended to apply for
an injunction restraining the city from
building the hospital I'm his ward. Mr..
Dunn said he would II his constituents
desired him to do so.
The trustees OF the Rhode Island hos
pital notified the city council last year
that no more patients affected with con-
tagious diseases would be received after
oct. /; and the city council committee
has not yet secured any extension Of the
time limit.
tendent of health this afternoon said
that the city could get along without
sending the patients TO the hospital. as II
did when there was no hospital in the
city.
The new condition would affect the
family in which the patient was and not
the community at large. There would be
increased danger of the disease spread
ing, but with great care this might be
checked :.
DR. Chaplin is expected soon to return
from Europe; and plans will then be per-
fected for the new hospital.
