JE WISH HOSPITAL
ON VERGE Of A
BIG SHAKE-UP
Resignation of Miss Lavinia
Ward, the Superintendent,
May Precipitate Trouble.
EXCITING MEETING IS
HELD AT MIDNIGHT
Woman Head Quit Beth Israel
Institution just as She Was
to Be Asked TO Go.

Trouble Is again brewing among the
members of the executive committee OF
Beth Israel Hospital, and it partly
came to a head last night when the
committee met at the hospital and
hastily accepted the resignation of Miss
Lavinia Ward, superintendent of the
institution.
1t had been circulated that certain
physicians connected with the medical
staff intended to ask the committee to
dismiss Miss Ward She prevented this,
and when the question was asked what
disposition would be made of the resig-
nation, which will take effect January
| next, Mrs. Victor Parsonett, wife of
Dr. Parsonett. moved that it be ac-
cepted without debate. Some were not
in favor of it, but before chance had
been given them the motion was put
and carried.
Miss Ward was formerly a nurse at
the City Hospital, and succeeded Miss
Caroline Feitzinger as superintendent
when she resigned under similar cir
cumstances.
The meeting last night lasted until
after midnight, and there were several
heated debates between Henry Gross
president of the hospital and George
Cohen, chairman of the executive COM
mittee. The latter stated that he was
simply a figurehead and was being de-
prived of all power and was ruled out
of order by Mr.. Gross.
Mr.. Cohen stated that at times some
patients had to wait three days before
they were visited by a member of the
medical staff.
Edward Prokocimer stated that the
doctors shouldn't think they know ii
all, and this caused some laughter, but
Elias Berla, chairman of the board ei
directors of the German Hospital, de-
Tended the speaker and said that there
should be a limit to the doctors power
and that they should be under the SUI
peryision of the committee.
Mr.. Berla said that graft should moi
be allowed to creep into the hospital.
"Above everything else" said he
beware of graft. Do not allow q doc
tor to place a patient in private room
one day and then to the ward the next
day because he finds the patient hasn't
much money"
He also said that the women should
be left off the executive committee.

The loss OF Allerdice would, at first

by the fact that a place-kicker can
