ASKED TO HELP EXCLUDE
TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS

The charity conference committee of
Los Angeles has asked the city council
to indorse the resolutions recently
passed by the committee. When the
council has taken this action other
civic bodies will be invited to follow
suit.
This resolution is addressed to chart
table institutions throughout the east,
middle west and south. and demands
that they stop sending INDECENT tuber-
culosis patients in the last stages or
the disease to Los Angeles, where they
become a burden on the community
and threaten the health of citizens. 1t
declares that if an immediate stop is
not put to this indiscriminate sending
of such patients here the local 1nstitu-
lions will be forced to send many Of
them back to the places they came
from.
THESE sentiments are subscribed to
by thirty charitable and benevolent
institutions affiliated with the commit
tee. George H. Kress is chairman ana
Spencer K. Sewall is secretary OF the
conference body.
The influx into Los Angeles of per-
sons suffering with tuberculosis was
brought to the attention of the board
of supervisors yesterday in the form
of a protest from the charities confer
ence committee. This committee sew
eral days ago passed resolution con-
demning the practice of physicians in
other parts of the country in sending
patients suffering with advanced forms
of the disease to this city. and giving a
warning that if the practice should be
continued the afflicted persons would
be compelled to return to the places
from whence they came. The super
visors passed. a resolution in line with
the action Of the conference committee.

wickiups, where in the morning the
aeronaut left a graciously worded note
of thanks, written in English, Spanish,
French and German, to make sure that
the owner would appreciate it. After
walking fifteen miles across the desert
the balloonists reached a town, but
the balloon did not reach Los Angeles
for two months.
Mueller's researches convinced him
that the transcontinental trip is a pos
siblity, and since November he has
been extremely anxious to undertake
it, His personal means have not per-
mitted him to outfit for such a voyage,
but he has hoped to fine some An
geleno who would appreciate the adj
vertising advantages to the Pacific
coast of such a worlds record and
would accordingly finance the trip.
Mueller estimated that it will take
two weeks to prepare for the transcon-
tinental trial, and was greatly an
gered last week when a Pasadena
paper announced that he would close
the carnival of sports by starting on a
long distance trial Saturday afternoon.
He had no intention of taking more
than a pleasure trip of a few hours
duration when he assembled in the
American Saturday.
The American, the balloon in which
the missing men started, is owned by
Dick Ferris, who loaned it for the car
nival. 1t has been in a number of
races including the international from
st. Louis in 1906, in which it was Sec
ond being brought down only because
it approached the Atlantic ocean. 1t
has a capacity of about $4,000 cubic
feet of gas.
