"A friend of the deceased who had been
with him during his sickness told Star
reporter this afternoon that the patient did
not think that he was near death. He was
always of the opinion that he was getting
better. and that some day his financial
matters would be in such shape that none
of his patrons would lose penny through
his transactions. He always believed that
the sale of his property would net him
money sufficient to settle all his bills and
that he would eventually recover possession
of his old homestead in Georgetown. 1t
was his idea that he would convert the
building into home for. boys and that it
would stand as a monument to his memory.

SUBJECT OF INQUIRY
FAILURE OF HOSPITAL TO RE-
sPoND TO EMERGENCY CALL.

| The alleged failure Of the ambulance OF
the Garfield Hospital to respond to an
emergency call, sent in from the corner OF
| 18th street and Florida avenue on May 28
as reported to the Commissioners through
Maj. Sylvester yesterday by Lieut.. Doyle Of
the eighth police precinct, will be made the
subject Of an inquiry by the board OF
charities at its next meeting. SpRnbably to-
morrow afternoon. A statement Is this eff
feet was made today by George S. Wilson,
secretary to the board. when his attention
was called to the police report on the case.
horse, driven by Charles B. Rowzee,
ran away and threw the owner to the
ground at the 18th street and Florida ave-
nue. corner the evening of May IS as was
printed in The Star at the time. Concus-
sion of the brain resulted and Mr.. Rowzee
died at the Garfield Hospital. His funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon.
The police report on the ease was made
personally by Lieut.. Doyle. who stated
| that three telephone messages were sent
+ to the Garfield Hospital by citizens, in ad-
dition to. two. by. the police. but that the
man was finally taken to that institution
in the patrol wagon. Lieut.. Doyle said
the import of replies from the hospital
authorities was that their ambulance
responded to calls only when q fee was
received for such service
Besides referring the matter to the
board Of charities for investigation and
report Commissioner Mcfarland said
that the question of hospital refusing
to send Its ambulance upon an emergency
call was too serious a one to be passed
over lightly, and added that he had asked
prompt action ON part of the board of
charities.
AS long ago as July IL, 1901. the board
of charities had an arrangement with the
Emergency Freedmans and Garfield hos
pitfalls by which each institution agreed to
send it's ambulance after emergency cases,
and a bulletin containing such a state
ment was issued to the police depart
ment by Secretary Wilson of the board OF
charities on July 10, 1901.
After consideration of the papers In the
case and consultation with DR.. Rlchelderfer,
superintendent of the Garfield Hospital,
Secretary Wilson of the board of charities
this afternoon said the impression that the
Garfield Hospital ambulance was open for
emergency service probably grew out OF a
mistake in the 1901 bulletin of the board OF
charities. The Garfield Hospital he said.
had never been equipped with an ambulance
for emergency service and the reason that
the matter never came up before. probably,
was due to the fact that no complaint had
ever been entered by policeman or any
other person.
The board of charities is considering the
contracts providing for hospital and emer-
gency service for the fiscal year beginning
July /, and new bulletin will be issued the
first of next month, setting forth the ar
rangements made under the new contracts.

POPULISTS STIRRED Up
TURMOIL CAUSED BY RESOLU-
TON THAT rs ADOPTED.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. June 2s.-The report Of
the committee on address opened today's
session of the annual conference Of the ma
tional committee of the peoples party and
was adopted unanimously. The address is
ITO the American people," and among 9TH
er things, says:
During the last few years there has been
continual demonstration of the correct
ness OF the economic principles declared by
our party conventions The so-calIed fifty
cent dollar has saved the nation from busi-
ness disaster. Duties on imports have re-
manned unchanged, the transportation re-
mained In the same hands, no new land
laws have been enacted; and the change
from bankruptcy, and ruin to business ac-
tivity can be credited to nothing except the
increase In the volume of money and the
tremendous imitation Of bank credits that
have been used in business as money equiv
alents. Our contention has never been for
any Ged-erdained money metab but for an
increase in the volume of money sufficient
to restore and maintain stability in the
price level. II has been completely demon
strated that the party was right in the ad-
,yocacy of the quantitiye theory of money
and this economic theory Will probably
never. again be denied. :, --4

acrimonious, and limitations passed that
there were "Judases' in the ranks. Others
counseled harmony and cooperative action

pitiable condition from exhaustion, how
ever and II Is not at all certain that he
will survive the effects of his frightful

Fisher was working In an excavation
when a passing street car loosened the
earth around the hole and sent an ava

gradually rising until only his head was
visible. For hours a large force Of res
fort to free the Imprisoned man, but the
shifting sand surged back and renewed its
grip upon the prisoner almost as fast as
they coufd remove 1t.
When the rescuers began to abandon
hope of getting Fisher out alive they re-
luctantly decided to notify his family OF
his predicament, and the wife. mother and
brother were witnesses of the all-night
fight for life which followed. Hundreds OF
persons from various parts of the island
had flocked to the scene. and many of them
remained throughout the night An amou-
lance with physicians and nurses also stood
by IN constant readiness to render any aid
they could, and two clergymen. who had
been summoned, awaited the call to ad-
minister the last rites should the task OF
the rescuers prove unavailng. All through
the night the rescuers labored under the
glare of torches. and when daylight came
they had succeeded In uncovering the i'm
prisoned mans body as far down as the
hips. Then ropes were attached under
Fishers arms. but the combined strength
of twenty men failed even to move the i'm
prisoned man an inch Fisher then was I'M
conscious, and the physicians who had been
watching his condition declared that there
remained only the faintest hope OF his sur
viving much longer.
The rescuers stuck to their task however,
and hours later when the last obstacle was
removed and the senseless form OF Fisher
was drawn from the sitting hole. a spark
of life still fingered. His condition was
extremely critical. but the physicians said
that there remained a chance that he
might recover
