client had already given her word that
she would bring suit on these charges,

After a hearing before District At
torney Ralph Given yesterday morning,
the woman was dismissed because there
was not sufficient evidence against her.

particular stress on the woman's physi-

innocent of any attempt at robbing a
store in broad daylight

hand. 1t was said by the matron of
the House of Detention that the woman

WOODROW WILSON HAILED
ASPRINCETON'S CANDIDATE
Banquet of Washington Alumni Mention
of Governors Name Evokes Applause

Backed by Princeton graduates, the
name of Woodrow Wilson was placed
rtfore the public last night as Prince
toms candidate for President of the
United States in: 1912. Enthusiasm
reached its highest point at the fortieth
annual banquet OF the Washington alumni
at the Chevy Chase Club, when Henry
L. Davis, in The course of an address,
intimated tina: Gov. Wilson may become
the next President of the country.
Whenever the name of Wilson was
mentioned it evoked applause, which
proved beyond a doubt that Gov. Wilson
is the hope OF the Democratic party.
. Sounds Warning Note.
At the same time Representative
Thomas S. Crago. OF Pennsylvania,
sounded a warning note when he warmed
up in his speech in praise Of the ex-presi-
dent of Princeton, and then, strongly
limiting that the Republican party can
come back" referred indirectly to a
former public remark OF Gov. Wilson
about superior men" debating politics
There is a sentiment abroad to-day"
said Mr.. Crago, that when II is said
the people are tired OF superior men dc
tating politics it is time for college men
to sit up and take notice"
G. Thomas Dunlop, the toastmaster, in
troduced M. Taylor Pine, resident trus-
tee OF the university, who smoothed over
the recent Observation-Disclosures OF certain
measures instituted by Dean West, due.
he declared, to a misinterpretation Of his
ideas.
Henry +. Davis, who warmed up to the
subject OF the next president of Princeton
and in lauding the past presidents of the
institution which have made Princeton
what it is. he emphatically declared: Il
am thankful that one of our presidents
may yet become President OF us all
Cheers for Wilson.
This remark evoked cheers, and for
while everything was Wilson" He
cautioned the alumni about the right
kind of a president to choose. and de-
ciared that 1t was one of the most
critical things in the social and moral
life of the country.
Representative Crago was emphatic in
stating that despite politics there was no
sectional feeling in Princeton or within
himself To prove this he told OF the
ovation accorded Gov. Wilson at the re-
cent St Louis reunion of Princeton grad
yates, when Gov. Wilson was the prin-
cipal speaker.
Others who spoke were Representative
George White, of Ohio, who firmly de-
clared Princeton was a college where a
poor boy can go and get a square deal

Attributing the death of Presi-
dent James A. Garfield directly to
the negligence and ignorance of the
attending physicians and surgeons
in the treatment of the gunshot
wound that carried him to his
grave, DR.. Frank Baker, superin-
tendent of the National Geological
Gardens, declared last night, in an
address before members of the Dis
trict of Columbia Medical and Sur
gical Society, at their annual din
ner at the Shoreham, that utter
disregard of antiseptic conditions
had more to do with the martyred
Presidents 5 death than the fatal bull
let.
GROSS NEGLECT.
DR.. Baker, during the arraignment that
startled his associates as nothing has
done in years, alleged gross neglect on
the part of the medicos from every point
of view. He practically accused them of
being dirty in the matter of cleansing
the ragged hole in the back. He said
they did not wash their hands, something
that even a novice would have done be-
fore attempting a remedy. Besides this,
he said, the course of the ball was a
matter of pure guesswork, and that he
believed Garfield could have been saved
TO the country. had he been attended by
competent men of to-day.
a smattering applause greeted DR..
Bakers remarks. Judging from the tenor
of feeling expressed on the faces of the
medical men present, DR.. Baker might
have said less in abuse of the doctors
who gained their knowledge in the past
generation, before microbes and perfect
sanitation were known.
DIR. Baker, during the reading of his
paper, entitled The diagnosis of Pres-
cent Garfields case" further declared
the surgeons were misled as to the course
OF the bullet. They were unanimous in
their belief that the liver had been pene-
trated. The speaker asserted that DR..
Wales had touched the tissue of that
organ with his little finger through the
wound entrance. Had the surgeons tried
to determine the exact position of the
assassin when he shot the President
DR.. Baker said, they could have ascer-
tained the general course of the ball,
and il was not until after the autopsy
that the true position was learned
Gross CareIessness.
DR. Baker charged th- surgeons with
gross carelessness in the handling and,
dressing of the wound. He said no at
tempt was made to drain it. and par
tiCles of clothing were left in it, and the
unCIean hands of the surgeons had much
to do with the infection of the wound
The same wound made by the same ball
to-day, might. he asserted. prove fatal.
but il surgeons followed the indications
pointing 10 the course of the ball and
did not guess, as was dOTe in Garfeld's
case, the patient would have a much
better chance Of recovery.
rr. Baker characterized President Gar
fields death as a surgical disaster. and
largely due to the surgeons insufficient
knowledge of anatomy.
He used an elaborate chart to explain
the course the leaden pellet had taken.
The Washington herald., 1911-04-07

him. Nature had to take its course. II
he died. all that could be done had been
done.
He was tenderly put to bed in a
ward and tended by an inferno dur
ing the night. Next morning. to the
amazement of the surgeons, Decker
showed wonderful improvement Since
then he has been steadily on the increase,
gaining in strength rapidly.
He has no family, living at boarding
house. SA Tenth street: He takes his
injury as a matter of fact, and has not
complained a single time since being ad-
mitted to the hospital.
Remembers His Fall.
According to Decker. who remembers
hurtling through the air, his body. after
it plunged through space, struck on a
bed of dry leaves, breaking the fall to
some extent. He is mot quite clear as
to the position in which he fell, but the
fact that no other bones were broken,
and he received but slight bruises, leads
the physicians to think that the back and
shoulders struck first in some peculiar
way. \ broken back, II was said, rarely
follows fall from that height.
In case an operation is found to be
imperative, the injured veterbrae will be
taken out, and the ends joined together
in the same way as the bones of the
leg or arm are Joined. The operation, SO
far as could be learned, has meyer proved
successful, and il seems that il Decker
is once more to take his place among
his felIow-men, nature will be an un-
aided victor.
