Statement Shows Conflict
The statement does not deny the re-
port specifically. but by implication. 1t
follows:
The surgeons in attendance on the
mayor are DR.. William ]. Arlitz. DR..
George E. Brewer, DR. George D. Stew
art, Dr. Charles \. Dowd. During their
absence on Wednesday afternoon, DR..
Charles H. Pock attended the mayor.
The ayor's family physician, DIR. John
". Parish, also attended him. No other
surgeons or phsyicians have at any
time been connected with the case.
This statement is necessary because of
ufounded reports and statements by
those pretending TO be connected with
the mayors physicians"
The patients irritability this after

ing physicians first gave rise to dis
quieting ramors.
