The board of trustees of Garfield Me-

a few hours after admittanc. to the

ambulance for him when he was in
jured and that the authorities were
otherwise slow in aiding him.
The police department called the at
tention OF the Commissioners to the
matter. and the coroner's jury in
Meade's case in its verdict arrafgned
the hospital authorities for tar1y re-
Spouse to the call for aid. A committee
from Central Labor Union. Of which

Justice John NJ Harlan. president of

mcfarland a report from DR.. w. F.
Cowan, chief resident physician at Car
field
DR.. Cowan's report follows:
First The patrol carrying Mr.. Meade
was met at our door by myself and sew
eral members of the house staff. We
found the man suffering from extreme
shock and nearly moribund. After salts
flying ourselves as to the nature OF his
injuries we lost no time in admitting
him and administering treatment to
combat the extreme shock He had con-
slant attention, and when in our judg-
ment he had sufficiently improved the
operation was then performed at once.
but the patients condition was such
that he did not survive.
Second. Here j would state ,aat the
hospital has never had equipment neces-
sary to answer emergency calls, and
has never rendered emergency service,
except in cases brought to our door.
Many requests for such service are
received and the persons making them
are always instructed to call the near
est police station. as was done in this
case. This rule is invariable and has
been in effect ever since the establish
ment of the hospital.
Commissioner mcfarland made ublic
this report without comment. 1t will
be taken under consideration by the

SUGGESTS AMENDMENT.
Defects In Law Relating to Scaffold
Construction Pointed Out.

A committee from the Central Labor
Union. composed of Thomas McGilton. s..
j. Bryan, John F. Herrity and Nat Sloan.
called on Commissioner Mcfarland today
and requested that the building regula-
tions governing the erection of scat
folds be amended. They informed the
Commissioners that they consider the
building regulations governing ladders
and scaffolds very lax and~inadequate in
construction. especially where life and
limb are continuously exposed to danger,
accident or death.
The members of this committee asserted
that the death of Frank Mead last week
was due partly to a bad scaffold, which
broke. causing him to fall. The corot
ner's jury in its verdict recommended
that the Commissioners take steps to
make the laws governing the construction
of ladders and scaffolds more stringent.
Commissioner Mcfarland stated to the
delegation when it called upon him this
morning that he approved the PROPOSE
ton and would take pleasure In present
ing it to the Commissioners. He stated
that it was in line with the recommended
lions he had already made in the case of
Frank Mead. the painter. that the build
ing regulations should be SO amended as
to safeguard the men who had to work
on scano,dings.

and 10. in square 1925 in Northeast
WASHINGTON. Mr.. Roller claims he ac-
quired a tax title to the land i'm 1859 and
declares the only objection made by Mr..
Clark to the regularity of the tax sal.
was the alleged failure of the collector OF
taxes to report the sale to the recorder
of deeds.
1t is alleged in the bill that the report
OF sale was made. but by reason of the
lapse OF time and destruction Of certain
records it would be difficult. il not inn
possible. to maintain a defense at law.
He also says the parties who had the
record title abandoned the land for more
than fifty years. during all Of which time
he and those under whom he claims paid
the taxes. He declares it would be I'M
just and ineduitabie at this late date to
GUST him from the property over which
he claims to have exercised dominion and
right OF ownership for so long a period of
time.
