POOR COMMISSION

IS CLAIMED
RED CROSS HOSPITAL OFFICIALS
ALICE THEY'RE NOT GIVEN
SQUARE DEAL IN CITY CASES
SOME COMPLAINTS.

The row between Red Cross hos
pital on the one side. and the poor
commission and Supt. Dolan on the
other, which began about month ago.
may be brought to the attention or
the mayor and common council soon
by the former. The Red Cross offi-
Gals make serious charges OF favorit-
ism and claim that Dolan has threat
ened to put them out of business
1.-The trouble has arisen solely out
of the desire of Supt. Dolan TO favor
one hospital" says Supt. Rogers, OF
Red Cross hospital 1T has been said
and truly. that Detroit lacks adequate
hospital facilities. 1t seems bad pub
lie policy. therefore. for all the infiu-
ence of the city government to be
thrown to the benefit OF one institu-
ton. That Is not the sort OF treat
ment to encourage the increase or
hospital facilities.
I'VE were notified that after GER
tain date all city cases would be TAX
en- to ST. Mary's hospital. The rates
for mental and alcoholic cases were
raised from IS to IS per week at that
time. We had some cases coming
under that classification and sent In
our bills at the same rate as the
other hospital. but they were turned
down.
'In consequence we notified the
poor commission to take away such
cases as we had. To show the man.
ner in which this was done, l would
say that an insane man was taken
away In the same ambulance with a
young woman in delicate health and
that the consequence were unfortun-
ate to the latter and might have been
fatal.
Now we are placed In peculiar
condition. Our ambulance Is called
for to bring IN emergency cases. We
cannot tell at once whether case
is a paying one or a public charge.
We are compelled to notify the poor
commission as soon as we find that
Il is a public case and then the am
bulance from the other hospital backs
up and takes the patient away.
"That is unfair because we may
have had to go to the expense OF an
operation costing $12 or SIS. Yet we
get only II cents for keeping the pa
tient q day. That Is ruinous. IL we
were to refuse attention to some emer-
gency surgery case. IT might cost a
life, yet the poor commission would be
to blame. si. s.s
'Tn one case, young woman refus-
ed to go to the institution where she
was ordered by the city physician and
In consequence was abandoned until
our doctors and nurses went to her
home and took care OF her, barely saw
Ing her life. 1t was city case and
I do not know whether there will be
any pay or not.
I'VE have written to the poor COM
mission asking them to let us know
whether they will allow surgery cases
to remain with US for proper time.
or have us merely keep the case with
out an operation until the patient can
be taken to the hospital chosen by
them"
Supt. Dolan states that he has re-
ceived no such letter.
I'VE have named st. Mary's and
Grace hospitals as the city hospitals
and l must refer you to members of
the board for any other information
he said.

ton from Pastors union.
That the members of the Pastors
union intend to take an active part
In civic affairs Is evidenced by the
foregoing petition presented as a res
olution at its meeting Monday morning
in the Central Methodist church by the
Rev. w. T. Jaquess. of the Trumbull-
ave. Presbyterian church.
The resolution was seconded by the
Rev. James M. Barley, d. d., of the
Forest-ave. Presbyterian church, who
said that some hospitals and some
institutions are under inspection now,
but that there is need at the present
time for rigid inspection OF some pri-
vate, so-called, hospitals.
The resolution was adopted with
out dissenting voice. The Rev. r.
B. Davidson. secretary of the union.
said after the meeting that the reso-
luton was inspired by recent devel-
opments in the city. but that II was
not aimed at any institution in par
ticular.
VIII Fight Sunday Ball.
1t was also announced that the Sab
bath observance committee had been
conducting a gum shoe" campaign
with especial reference to Sunday
baseball in Detroit. and determined
effort will be made to prevent Sun

In referring to the hold that the
liquor habit had on him in his youth.
Major Cole said that he acquired a
taste for 1t by doctors prescriptions.
Many a man today is going around
to physicians and paying them for
damning his own SOUL said the
speaker. He said. however. that he
cared no more for liquor now than
he did for kerosene oil.
In speaking Of the uncertainty OF
life, Major Cole pointed to the fact
that this morning he was wearing a
shirt which belonged to man whom
he attempted to convert, but failed.
"His wife called me to her home and
asked me to take few OF his per-
sonal belongings and l did So" said
the speaker He also brought out
military cape, threy 1t about his
shoulders. saying that this had be-
ionged to wealthy man, who was 80
engrossed In making money that he
had no time to look after the well
fare of his soul. and that death bad
come when he least expected II. The
cape had been given to Major Cole by
the dead mans family.
DR.. Orr told something OF the prog
ress Of the prohibition movement In
the south. and declared that II the
Detroit pastors were persistent they
could drive the saloons out OF bust
ness. "The liquor fellows are the
biggest bluffs In the world, as well as
the biggest liars" declared DR.. Orr.

THREE MONTHS At
THE BOSTON CON.
Produced Over Two Million
Pounds of Copper During May
June and July.
FROM C0MPANY'S TWO MINES
Garfield Mill Making Good Recovery
Averaged Nearly 40
Per Cent.

During the months of May, juno and
yuly. the Boston Consolidated Mining
company produced S7419S ponds Of
copper from its sulphide mine and
1,277. 400 pounds from its porphyry mine.
AT least this is the informa on appear
ing in the Boston News ureau and
supposedly bears the appro Il of Presi-
dent Samuel Newhouse. In May the
sulphide mine was represented at the
Garfield smelter by 21s carloads of ore,
1906 tons which yielded 3SSOOO pounds
of copper. in June fSl cars were dis
patched, 5,922 tons, yielding 246.ISS
pounds of copper; while the output for
July was 122 carloads, 6.O13 tons, from
which was taken 237 AGO pounds of cop
per The record at the porphyry mine
shows that from 319 carloads shipped
10 the Garfield concentration in May, 49,
$40 tons. was obtained 1.4i0 tons of con-
centrate and containing $4,000 pounds
of copper. In June, 437 carloads, q, 1871
tons, returned 1904 tons of concentrate
containing i56 400 pounds of copper. In
July, 4l2 caroads, u 500 tons, returned
1900 tons of concentrate and contained
$4,000 pounds of copper. The mill re-
covered in May and July GS.5 per cent
of the metallic contents of the ore and
20 per cent in June.
The fact that in May lao tons of
concentrates containing $4,000 pounds
of copper were obtained from 1850 tons
of porphyry ore, whereas in July 1900
tons of concentrates containing 452. coo
pounds of copper were obtained from
21.500 tons, would indicate that Bos-
ton Consolidated is now treating a bet
ter grade of ore and securing far bet
ter concentration.
