TRIILS OF IN INTERNE.
Can He Hack and He10 after a
Cold Breakfast ?

Robert w. Hebbard. Commissioner of Public
Charities. is to decide whether interne can per-
form hospital duties after he has eaten a cold
breakfast. The issue raised by DR.. r. Spen-
Ger Cone one of the internes attached to the Kings
County Hospital who suspended from duty
the Bradford street branch, in Brooklyn. on Sat
urday he had declared that institution out OF
commission because the nurse in charge refused to
supply hot toast with his breakfast.
The wrangle over the breakfasts began when DIR.
Cone took charge of the Bradford Street Hospital
several weeks ago. on Friday he warned Miss
Ada -Newbod. head of the institution. that he
would close the service unless hot toast were
served. She refused have the toast heated.
Then Dr. Cone informed Brooklyn Police Head
quarters that the ambulance service at the Brad
ford Street Hospital had been temporarily discon-
tinued At the same time the dspensary patients
told that the hospital had been closed until
further notice
Immediately the Police Headquarters operator
called on DR.. FitzGerald, the medical superin-
tendent CT the Kings County Hospital, for more In
formation. He declared he had not given orders to
suspend the service and in turn he called on DR..
Cone. Then DIR. Cone complained of the cold
breakfasts. and told of differences with the head
nurse Miss Newbold did not reply to charges.
but consented to appear before Commissioner Heb
bard on Friday When DIR. Cone suspended
from further service pending the investigation. he
said Miss Newbold incompetent to manage the
institution.
Commissioner Hebbard said yesterday that he
had not had an opportunity 20 observe the effect
of a cold breakfast on the internes. He would.
