of the coroner's jury al the inquest over
the remains Of Frank Meade. a painter.
who was killed by the collapse of a
swinging scanold last Monday while at
work on a house in Garfield avenue
/ In the verdict the attention of the
/ Commissioners was called 70 the al
legged fact that the hospital authorities
refused to send an ambulance for Meade.
and that a number Of hours elapsed be-
tween the time he arrived at the hos
pital and the time the operation was
performed
In regard to these allegations, DR.. Frey
said
I can uuthfully and honestly deny
the statement to the effect that we re-
fused Air. Meade attention.
when asked TO send our ambulance
70 take him TO the hospital, DR.. Wayne
f. Cowan. resident physician, explained
to the party at the telephone that we
had no ambulance, and that we had dis
continued our ambulance service. He ad-
vised the party 10 call up the nearest
police station and request that Meade
be hurried to the hospital where every
possible attention would be given him.

Mr.. Meade was brought to the hospital
in patrol wagon. He was suffering from
profound shock when he arrived. Treat
ment was instituted 10 get the patient 20
rally from the shock in order that an
operation might be performed.
when the patient had recovered suffi-
ciently he was anaesthetized and operated
upon for depressed fracture of the skull.
He succumbed before the completion OF
the operation.
Although considerable time elapsed be-
tween the time he was injured and the
time Of the operation, yet, had the opera
uCn been performed Immediately upon his
admission to the hospital, his chances of
recovery would have been less.
'Iie was so shocked from the fall that
he was not in a condition to withstand
the depressing effects Of an anaesthetic.
This fact is generally appreciated by
medical men,"

Judging by the contents of Commits

fair to be a live issue.

pared with the host Of letters received
by Mr.. Macfarland yesterday commencing
his plan Of eliminating undesirable citi-

Mr.. Macfarland realizes, as nearly every

ON Aspects of Thursdays Fire.
THE crying need with respect 20 the
Washington Asylum, is that the make
shift municipal hospital shall be given up
and instead a proper modern and fire
proof municipal hospital provided on the
new municipal hospital site on Bright
wood avenue"
This is Commissioner MaCfarland's COM
ment on the complaints recently fled to
the effect that the Jail and asylum
facilities Of the District are inadequate
The fire at the Washington Asylum
Hospital Thursday morning" said Mr.
Macfarland, shows how dangerous is the
present structure"
Commissioner Macfarland, asked why
the Commissioners had not recommended
TO Congress a new jail or an addition to
the present jail. said the Commissioners
had nothing whatever TO do with the Jail
which is entirely under the direction Of
the Department of Justice. That depart
ment would have to make any recon-
mendatiOn that ought 10 be made on the
subject, said the Commissioner.
THE jail is too small said Mr. Mae
farland "and ought 10 be enlarged or re-
built. ] have said so repeatedly i'm the
past. Beyond such expressions of per
sonal opinion the Commissioners can do
nothing.
"As to the Washington Asylum" he
continued. "a steady and encouraging i'm
pTOvement in the wOrkhouse conditions
had been made by Congress on the recon-
mendatons of the Commissioners and the
Board of Charities, and that improve
ments would doubtless continue.
Already the accommodations had been
enlarged and mOdernized and are now
comparatively far better than five years
ago"

Summer Range for Cattle.

What this section has needed for
some time is a pasture for cattle in
either large or small numbers, and
we guess this want has at last been
supplied.
Mr.. Robert Watt, who last fall Sc
cured the Tom Thompson ranch at
PARK with Mr.. E. Glen, made ar
rangements for quite a large section
OF range tributary to his place, and
is now prepared to take stock for
summer pasture and range in any
quantity from one to 500 head.
These gentlemen inform us that
they will give personal attention to
the stock in their care, having plenty
of horses and the necessary equip
ment for the care Of the stock.
This country is well known as an
ideal one for stock, being well wat
cred and having fine pasture as well
as timber land for the cattle to
browse.
Any one desiring to pasture their
stock may enquire OF either Mr.. Watt
or Mr.. E. Glen, addressing Ken
drick, for further Information.

The vote OF 1904 on
which the apportionment OF 1906
was based comprised 1865 for the
Mormon counties and 26,2O9 for the
Gentle. The vote of 1906 on which
the present apportionment is based
comprised 16,493 for the Mormon
counties and 21,763 for the Gentle.
The vote shows comparative Nor
mon gains, but not such gains as
h ave been allotted to the sect in it
present representation. Under all
the circumstances it would seem to
have been the part of wisdom to
nave kept down the Mormon repre-
sentation rather than have forced it
up. There is no special reason why
the Mormons should not have all
they are entitled to, but the same
applies with equal force to the Cen
tiles. If there is any good reason
why the Gentle representation in
the republican state convention
sh ould be discredited, it might be a
good idea to make such reason pub
lie in order that the people may duly
inform themselves of the merits
thereof.
'Nez Perez county, tor example,
cast 1858 votes for the head of the
ticket last year, and gave it a ma
GRITTY OF $50. Two years before Neg
Perez county only gave the head of
the ticket 3S5 majority, st;ll 1T has
been deprived Of two votes in the
convention. Nez Perez county gave
the ticket 1853 votes and gets q
votes in convention. Oneida county
only gave the ticket 1882 votes and
gets % delegates to the convention.
Why should the republican voters of
Nez Perez county be below par as
compared with the Mormon voters
of Oneida county? Nez Perez coun-
tvs 1858 votes are only worth q
delegates in the state convention
why then are Bingham county's O.

gates? The Tribune does not know
any law al reason why the Mormon
vote should not be counted for lite
full value in conventions or else
where, nor does it know why the
vote of other christian men ana
women should not have equal cur
