GARFIELD'S DEATH
DUE TO CRUDENESS
OF SURGICAL WORK
Used AS Illustration BY
Speaker Before District
Medical Association.

That surgeons today owe much of
their success to the x-ray, and their
better knowledge of anatomy is the
opinion of a number of the best medi-
cal men in Washington.
In discussing this matter before the
District Medical and Surgical Associa-
ton last night DR.. Frank Baker declared
that in his judgment the ignorance OF
anatomy which prevailed among sur
geons when President Garfield was shot
by Guiteau removed any chances he had
of recovery.
TT is difficult to understand how
such prominent surgeons as Drs. Agnew
and Hamilton, two Of the consulting
medical men, could have been so conf
pletely deceived as to the location of
the bullet and its passage through Gar
fields body said DR.. Baker. Then"
he continued, you must also remember
there were seven distinct symptoms all
pointing to the fact that neither the
kidneys, liver, nor stomach had been in
Jured by the ball"
After an operation lasting an hour
the physicians were unable to locate the
bullet. From this we can only under
stand that anatomy, as IT is understood
today, was at a low state of develop
ment. Surgeons of the present day
aided by the X-ray would have located
the bullet without difficulty"
In conclusion DR.. Baker said that
similar wounds inflicted in the RuSso-Jap-
anese war had not resulted fatally, and
explained that in his opinion President
Garfield, under present day treatment,
would probably have recovered, but II
he had recovered Garfield would have
been cripple for life.

It will take the 1,Soo persons en-

All the plans for proper behavior IN
case of fire have been worked out by
the director, E Dana Durand, and his
chiefs. The plans were given their first
trial yesterday afternoon. The trying
out was primary fire drill. and due
notice had been given Of 1t, but after
the employees of the bureau have accus-
toned themselves to the tactics they
will have no notice, but will be alarmed
every little while by the dong-dong of
the big, tho ding-ding of the little
bells.
But yesterdays drill showed what
excellent things could be done. First
of all, the doors, both outside and in
side, were made to swing outward. and
the windows likewise. Certain persons
were delegated to man the fire extin-
guishers, certain others the stand-pipes,
yet others to take care Of those physi-

TIE natural course of events # is
Dut reasonable ito suppose that
most OF the young men who 90
out from the Agricultural courses
OF the College will remain in tn,
State, and the State will get the
dement, OF their knowledge and it's
application to The soil. On ac-
count OF their training they should
make better citizens, and the State
should be the richer ior having
the benefit Of theoir training and
experience. This, unfortunately
cannot be true in many of the
other courses. The engineering
interests Of the State are limited
and It is a regrettable fact that
most Of the men who graduate as
engineers will be obliged to seek
employment outside of the bor-
ders OF the commonwealth. Fur
thermore, on account of its unique
relation to the everyday affairs
OF the State, the Agricultural De-
partment is bound to be of greater
and greater service to the farmers
themselves each year. While the
number OF students in agriculture
may increase, and we hope thew
will, it is probable that for everv
student receiving instruction in
the College, from so to 100 farm-
ers in the State will receive bene-
ut either from personal contact
with the various experts in the
Department, from the reports on
SPECIFIC experiments in the differ
ent phases O. agriculture, or from
their visits to the College farm,
where they can see for themselves
the cause and effect in agriculture.
