CRITICIsE MBRIDE VERDICT.

The verdict OF the COroner's jury censuring every
one connected with the case Of Mrs Corinne Me-
Bride. the Christian, Scientist. who died of pneu-
monia a short time ago. has called forth from the
Christian Scientists statement in which they con-
tend that the jury composed OF prejudiced doc
tors. and that the verdict was in error because
Mrs Nc Bride herself refused allow her husband
to summon doctor to attend her 1t presents IN
addition. statistics 10 prove the effectiveness OF
Christian Science treatment and the small per-
centage of mortality among those who believe in It.
a passage IS quoted in the statement from DR..
William OSler's Textbook of the Theory and
Practice of Medicine, in which he says that "pneu-
mOnia patients are more often damaged than
helped by prOmiscuOuS drUESlng. and the state
ment goes ON 10 ask: why should Mr. Ne Bride
be cenSured, then, for not calling doctor when
doctors themselves admit that the administration
of drugs could possibly have helped his wife,
and would most certainly have proved lnjUriOus?''
According to the statement. the idea that there
is a conspiracy between Christian Science prac-
titioners and doctors whereby Christian Scientists
turn all their extreme cases to the doctors Is
absurd" The Christian Science practitioners IL

APPEAL TO MAYOR ABOUT STREETS.
Committee of Twenty-Five Wants Him to
Remove Negligent Officials.

The intolerable condition OF the streets Of the
city was the subject discussed yesterday afternoon
at the City Club by members OF the committee Of
twenty-five appointed at the meeting last week
OF the representatives Of various municipal or
ganizations interested in street conditions Among
those who spoke were Henry Bruere, Of the Bu-
reau of Municipal Research; T. b. De Berard Of
the Merchants Association, and Or. Hamilton Of
the University Settlement
Mr. Bruere said in his opinion one of the prin-
cipa reasons for the poor condition the streets
was the failure Of the Borough President 10 incte
competition. He said the custom Of the patrol
men reporting bad places in the streets had been
followed all right, but that these reports were
buried in the Bureau Of Public Highways, which,
proved.
After several other speeches the committee voted
to appoint subcommittee 10 draw up a letter

Washington May 15.-No recommendations
Of Messrs. Kellogg and Severance IN regaro TO
the Hartman railroads, such as were puDhshed
in New York to-day, have been accepted ana
confirmed by the Interstate Commerce Cohihls-
sion. If the reports are correct as TO N" coIl-
lnendations. they stand merely as r'eo.- !e1iua-
lions 10 the commission and not the report of
the commission itself. The members OF the COM
mission conferred for hour this afternoon
and then authorized the following statement:
The commission has not prepared report in

cided any of the questions involved in the in
ouirv The whole matter is still under con-
sideratiOn, and some phases OF II are pelhS
further investigated.
II may be that the briefs memoranda sub
rnitted hy counsel have become known in some
quarters and the mistaken inference drawn
therefrom that the commission has agreed upon
Z report.
No further information than is contained ir
this statement was authorized by the commits
sion. Chairman Knapp said that he could add
nothing to the statement, but emphasized the
fact that the commission had not reached anv
conclusion respecting the Hartman lines case
and added that it probably would not for some
time. he declined to indicate what he believed
would be the action Of the commission. He said
IT was certainly too soon yet to consider that
phase. as the commission thus far has given
little consideration to that matter.
Members Of the CONN, ssion would not saw
even that Messrs. Ke7t 1.g and Severance m

the commission an epitome Of the facts ad-
cuced at the several hearings and perhaps
some suggestions as 10 what the commission.
in his opinion, should do. No member of the
commission, however would say that the pub
