free BEDS AND
The RULES THAT
REGULATE Them
Enlightening Statement
Concerning Much Misun-
derstood Institution in
Bridgeport. ,14

The great demand for free beds at
the local hospitals is far greater than
the number of beds. Friends and
relatives of sick people unable to pay
for bed have heard Of the free beds
and on starting out to secure one find
the time when they will be able to get
into the hospital is quite remote. Ur-
gent cases are necessarily reported to
the Board of Charities and as re-
suit the city plays the part of good
Samaritan in many worthy cases
Folks who do not like the idea of
having their friends kept at the hos
pitfalls at the expense Of the city and
who would gladly accept of free beds
have undoubtedly had opinions that
there are many more free beds than
there really are, and that they have
been unable to secure one because they
were without the necessary influence.
At ST. vfncent's hospital it was
learned today that in this institution
which is stiH young there is only one
free bed and there are "a sick people
waiting for it to be vacant. The ap-
plications for the bed are received at
the office Of the hospital.
are % free beds but only few Of
them are under the direct control OF
the executive officers Of the hospital
The Barnum, Armstrong, Lockwood,
Lane, Plumb and other free beds are
controlled by trustees named in the
will of their founders. and are sub
ject to the terms Of the wills. Some
are free only to members Of certain
parishes and others to organizations.
Supt. w. B. Jones Of the Bridgeport
hospital said this morning, The
amount left to maintain free beds is
usually $1,000. The interest earned
by this amount Of money is 5000 a
year. AS the regular charge at the
hospital is $500 per year per patient
it can be seen that the $500 earned
by a single fund will keep a patient
for four months. But at no time is
there an attempt made to balance the
free bed fund account. At present
there is one patient who occupied
free bed for two years.
There are many other instances
where free beds are occupied in any
one year beyond the four months Pc
Rod Some of our free beds are
controlled by Fairfield people. Our
Is free beds unoccupied. / would
suggest that anyone desiring to Sc
cure a free bed apply to the hospital
office and the hospital authorities will
take. up the matter with those having
them in charge"
The statement by Supt. Jones con-
corning the free beds will clear up
that have been held by persons who
have held the opinion that the term
free" meant that the beds were free
to everybody and all at the disposal
of the hospital authorities. The ma
jority Of the beds, however, are only
free when those controlling them
give permission. In many instances
those having control Of the, beds are
governed in their actions by the terms
Of the Wills of the philanthropists who
found the beds.

Bond Issues, if Passed
Will Make New
Haven Debt So, 351 900

a big delegation of New Haven citi-
zens at the state capitol at Hartford
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock when
a hearing will be held before the leg
islative committee on finance upon sew
eral bills that have been presented
in which the city of New Haven asks
permission to issue bonds. More
than usual interest is manifested in
these matters on account of the am
cunt of money that is involved in the
bond issues petitioned for and the va
rious projects for which the issue Of
bonds are designated. !,
The fact is that this is the biggest
issue of bonds that the city Of New
Haven has ever before asked to the
legislature to give permission to make.
Approximately 81 $4,000 is the amount
that the city wants to raise to pay
for different projects and to finance
these the city wants to issue bonds.
The largest bond issue previously ask
ed for was for sS50,000 and that was in
1901. The chamber of commerce is
deeply interested in the bond issue.
for the chamber has fathered some of
the schemes that have been mapped
out and which must have funds be-
fore the plans can be developed.
If all these bonds were issued the
total debt of the city would be S.,
351, 900.

PORTUGAL REDUCING

Especial from United Presso

(OpSCldi lTOHl O1l1lSo IISSS1
Lisbon, Feb. 14.-England and
Brazil are the only countries to which
the new republic Of Portugal will
send representative of as high rank
as minister plenipotentiary, according
to an announcement by Foreign Min
lister Machado, today. Washington,
Paris and Madrid and the City of
Mexico will have a Charge D'Affaires
each at salary of $500. In Berlin,
Vienna. Rose, St. Petersburg and 9TH
er capitals, Portugal will be repre-
scented by consuls. whose remunera-
ton will come from their official re-
ceipts.
Machado estimates that this reform
will reduce the foreign offices ex-
penses from 100000 to $2S5,000 an
nually.
The reason for showing the SEEM
ing preference to England and Brazil
is that England is suspected of har-
boring designs on the Portuguese pos
sessions. Then, too, ex-King Manuel
is now exfled in England and the
government believes it wise to keep a
close watch on him.

private life of the villagers will be
shown in a manner that will illus

The power of the drama to teach

ing and perpetuating prejudice has
been observed and resented by the
lrishman, the Jew, the negro and 9th
ers who properly feel that they have
higher mission than to be the sub.
ject of jest. The power which those
protests reveal there is now a desire
to turn to good account. The other
day we printed a suggestion that the
stage be used to dignity farmers and
farming, instead of holding them up
to ridicule. 1t is timely suggestion
which might be adopted to the ad-
of all of us, for there is need
to turn the drift of population back
to the country, and it is manifest that
the stage might be used to create the
necessary sentiment.
