BRICK LAYER FALLS
FROM BUILDING
Antoine Mollath Dashed Seventy
Feet to Court of Lane
Hospital

Fighting desperately for his life
every foot of the way of a 20 foot fall.
Antoine Mollath, brick layer, was
dashed against the pavement of the
court at Lane hospital yesterday, bare
ly missing DR.. T. H. Mcnamara, who
chanced to be leaving the hospital at
the time, and sustaining injuries from
which he cannot possibly recover. DR..
McNamara's hat was knocked from his
head by the falling man. But few
inches saved him from serious injury
if not from instant death.
Mollath lost his balance while at
work on the roof of an addition being
made to the hospital building. AS he
fell he seized a dangling rope which
was used for hoisting UP building ma
terial. The rope was attached to a
windlass overhead, but the ratchet
governing its movements failed to hold
and at great speed the man fell to
the ground. Opposite each floor of the
building knot In the rope held for a
brief instant, only to slip through and
allow Mollath to continue his fall.
DR.. Mcnamara, after recovering from
his shock, assisted in carrying the in
jured man into the hospital. where he
and Dr. L w. Thorne operated for a
fractured skull. Mollath's jaws were
both broken and he was internally
injured He has family living at
Steiner and Filbert streets.

EAGAN'S BODY IS
FOUND IN THE BAY
Mystery of Disappearance Of
Adding Machine Company
Manager Solved

The mystery of the disappearance Of
James E. Eagan, manager for the Bur
rough'S adding machine company, was
solved yesterday when Eagans body,
badly decomposed, was found floating IN
the bay by fishermen who had cast
their nets off Fort Point The body
was towed to Fishermans wharf by
Antoine Serafano. into whose net 1t mad
drifted, and was there claimed by the
friends of the dead man.
The body apparently had been in the
water for many weeks, and the theory
of Eagan's friends at the time of his
disappearance that he had taken his
own life by jumping into the ocean is
believed to- be correct. The features
were unrecognizable. Identification
was made through the name j. Eagan
found engraved on a key ring in
pocket of the clothes hanging to the
corpse.
Since Eagan's disappearance nearly
month ago his friends and associates
have been untiring in their efforts to
locate him. Even while his body was
being dragged from the waves the
search was being carried on among the
gardens along the south side of the
peninsula in the belief that the missing
man had concealed himself there.
Although foul play is hardly suspect
ed to have figured in Eagan's death
the stomach was sent to the city chem
ist for analysis. Eagan had been i'll
for several months at the time of his
disappearance and it is believed that
he committed suicide while suffering
from despondency.
Eagan was 3S years old and bach
elor. He ranked among the first as a
businessman and the property he left
is valued at above $4,000.

NEED OF NEW BEDDING

An appeal is being made by the Asso-
ciated Charities of San Francisco for
bedding and clothing for a destitute
family consisting of a mother and
seven children The appeal is made
through a letter addressed to the press

q personal investigation of the family
and their condition.
Three months ago the father of the
family died Of blood poisoning. Fol-
lowing his death one of the children
contracted scabies and the disease has
run through the entire family. Being
poor the mother has not been able to
destroy the bedding and furnish the
children with new oetfits Of clothing.
and until this is done the physician in
charge OF the case is unable TO check
the disease. For that reason clothes
and bedding are asked for, so that they
can be installed in healthy and clean

DOG WORK" MAY
DRIVE OUT NURSES
Attendants at County Hospital
Threaten to Leave If
Not Relieved

Because of the dog work" which
they are called upon to do, the San
Francisco county hospital is in danger
of being left without any nurses to
care for the several hundred INDECENT
patients at that institution.
Dog work" was the term used by
DR.. Philip K. Brown, one of the at
tending physicians, in q report on con-
ditions at the hospital which he made
to the board of health at its meeting
yesterday afternoon. DR.. Brown stated
some startling facts in connection with
the duties of the nurses, and said that
unless immediate measures for their
relief were taken by the board, includ-
ing cutting down the course Of train
ing from three to two years, the
training school and hospital would soon
be left without single nurse.
DR.. Brown said that the nurses
simply could not stand it"
Here were some of the things he
noted in recent visit tending to bear
out his assertion:
That in one ward of 1o2 beds one
nurse was compelled to attend to all
the patients, with only occasional help.
That as a result scores of fever pa
tients in serious condition never even
had their temperatures taken.
That effective work had become i'm
pDGSlD4G.
That nurses had to sweep the floors
and make the beds.
That under existing conditions nc
nurse could stand the work for three
years without absolutely breaking
down.
In making his report DR.. Brown said
that these things in no way were the
fault of superintendent Dorr of the
hospital. who was doing his best un-
der trying conditions, but that they
were due to the unattractive nature OF
the work there and the consequent
dearth of nurses. Unless the course
were Immediately lowered to two
years. he declared, every nurse would
soon leave for other hospitals. They
are so busy sweeping up the floor that
( they can't get any training at ALL" he
said.
! DR.. Brown also called the attention
Of the board to frightful conditions ex-
/ listing among the tuberculosis patients
because of the lack of accommodations
I for segregating them. Those in the
advanced stages, he said, scattered con-
tagiop through the wards, endangering
the lives of attendants and other pa
tients.
The board was startled by DR.
Browns report He was promised that
relief measures in both instances would
be undertaken at once, and that every
thing possible would be done to remedy
conditions.
It was condemnation day" with the
board. On complaint OF Health Officer
Broderick and the various district
health officers. II insanitary buildings
including five stables, were condemned
