MAY IGNORE HIS REQUEST
President Asked That Certain Infor-
nation Be Kept Secret.

Washington, Feb. s. - President
Roosevelt's request that the reply OF
the secretary of the treasury to the
Foraker resolution calling for an item
lied statement of expenditures made
from the war deficiency fund of 1899
be considered confidential may be ig-
nored by the senate.
Since the document has been re-
posing in the files of the committee
on military affairs it has been exam
ined by a number of senators who say
they IRE not impressed with the inn
portance of concealing from the pub
lie the information it contains.
The reason given by President
Roosevelt for the request that the in
formation should be kept as execu-
tive matter was that the war fund
had been used to send military agents
into foreign countries to gather mate
rial for the secret use of this govern
ment While it is said that this is
true in regard to some expenditures
certain senators have declared that

declared by several senators who have

SAYS NURSE IS
kept PRISONER;
FLAT DENIAL MADE
Jesse E. Pope Writes of Punish
ment Melted Out in the Or
ange Memorial Hospital.
To the Editor of the Evening star.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Two days ago an incident
occurred in the Orange Memorial Hos
pital which smacks so much of the in
quisitorial methods of the middle ages
that the writer believes that if public
attention is called to it the injustice
wrought will be undone.
Briefly told, the following are the
main facts In the case: On last
Wednesday Two of the hrst-year
nurses, when they went off duty, left
the hospital, taking a camera with
them. The nurses, desiring to take a
picture of an ambulance, asked the
driver to turn around so that they
might get a snapshot. He compiled.
The n who had not taken the pic
ture was degraded by having her
nurses cap taken from her. But the
young woman who had dared to take
the picture. was ordered to her room
and placed in close confinement; no
one was permitted to speak to her; she
vas refused dismissal when she asked
for it. Across the door of her room,
which is really her prison, was placed
a placard in large letters reading, mo
Admittance." She Is reported to be
crying her eyes out" and it will not
be strange if a serious case of hysteria
Is the result.
These are the salient facts in the
case. 1t is indeed hard to believe that
for so trivial an act-it cannot be called
an offense-such needless cruelty Is
being inflicted on two young women
innocent of all thought Of committing
a breach of discipline.
JESSE e. POPE.
In connection with the letter above
printed. Mrs. Mefford Runyon. presi-
dent of the Orange Memorial Hospital,
when seen by a STAR reporter this
afternoon, said: There was no such
confinement of the young woman as
charged in the letter. She was disci-
plined for violating a rule of the hos
pital in going to the ambulance station
without permission.
II is necessary for proper instruction
and discipline of the nurses that those
who violate our rules be punished. The
woman was off duty until today, but
she was not confined in any o
against her will, and her punishment
was simply in keeping with the regu-
lations of this institution" concluded
Mrs. Runyon.
Mrs. Runyon refused to give out the
name of the nurse in question.
