SCIENTIST,
JAWS LOCKED,
bees FOR DEATH

Chicago, Dec. 26.--Dr Joseph Peasden,
scientist. occupying one OF the fore
most positions with large packing firm,
last night indicated by signs TO physi-
clans at his side at the Chicago Baptist
hospital that he realized that the attack
of lockjaw from which he is suffering
would prove fatal and begged them to
end his life with a drug. The surgeons
about him, Injured as they were 10 the
sufferings OF others. hesitated before the
dumb appeal OF this man OF science,
probably more skilled In the effects of
the disease which had seized him than
any other man I'm this country. and then
turned away for fear that they might
grant his wish. Before the verdict of
the dying man on his own life. they were
silenced. for there could have been no
higher authority than his opinion.
When he found that the law. written
and unwritten. would not permit his fell
lows TO end his sufferngs, DR. Peasden
resigned himself TO the care OF the nurses
He hearH his physicians say that IL he
lived another day there was hope for
him. He shook his head. They pretended
not TO notice and left him In charge Of

geon in command OF the hospital ship.
Relief, was two-fold.
SUBvERSIvE OF Discipline.
In the first place, like every line
officer. he believed that the subordina-
tion of any line officer no matter how
low in grade. to a staff officer on ship
board. was bad policy and subversive
OF naval discipline. but stronger OBJ
lection in his mind was that the pro-
posed action was clearly illegal, mas
much as IL Is forbidden by law or by
naval regulations to assign a stan ON
Ger to command a ship.
1t is only fair to the stan side to
state that this is debatable ground and
that IL would not be difficult to con-
strue the naval laws and regulations
i'm either way. So it is not to be
doubted that when the subject comes
before congress for consideration. the
lawyers in that body will find material
to support either contention.
ADMIRAL SILENT.
Rear Admiral Brownson. when asked
for his side of the question, said 1t
would be "manifestly improper for him
10 say anything on the subject" When
reminded that some acrimonious dis
cussion between himself and the presi-
dent had been spoken OF Rear Admiral
Brownson said:
THAT statement is untrue. The presi-
dent has been most patient and most
CT 1nsiderate in listening TO my views ON
the subject" When reminded that va
rio,;s causes other than the Stokes incl
Cent were given for MS resignation he
said there was no foundation whatever
for such reports.
IL Is understood that the resignation OF
Rear Admira' Brownsou came as sur
prise to the president. The discussion
Of the matter for which Surgeon General
Rixey was pressing was conducted at all
times without heat. although at one time
Rear Admiral Brownson is understood to
have accused the surgeon general OF
misrepresentation. The president had
evidently made up his mind to do what
the surgeon general desired. but he
heard the various objections OF the head
OF the bureau OF navigation and chief OF
staff with patience The interviews ex-
tended over several months. and there
were many OF them.
What makes the resignation notable Ia
that Rear Admiral Brownson is one OF
the first high officials who have taken
this means Of emphasizing that they be-
lieved what was being done was wrong.
Usually the effect on the part Of the
presidents advisers In such cases have
pocketed their humiliation In silence.
II is believed that the effect OF the cross
purposes at which the commander-in-chief
OF the navy and the entire line are now
playing will be deplorable.
There is very general feeling OF re-
sentiment among the officers of the navy
who regard this as but an entering wedge.
COMPLIMENT FOR BROwNsON.
The view OF the entire service is re-
nected In a statement dictated by an Off
Ger OF very high rank and long experience.
