FAIL. AGAIN WITH FILMS.
Speaker Clark Hopes Political Pros
poets Move More Satisfactorily.

Il hope my political prospects do not
move so slowly" said Speaker Clark,
smilingly, yesterday, when a moving pic
ture concern which for two mornings had
been striving to arrange it's apparatus
to take the Speaker in action reported
a second failure to undertake the work
before the House met at noon. The pic
ture machines were in place and the
procession had been arranged. when
trouble with the batteries of lights sur
rounding the Speakers rostrum again
forced a postponement. A tangled skein
of electric current cables was removed
from the aisle just in time to permit
the House to assemble.

The tuberculosis Hospital.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor OF The Star:
The recent arraignment of this his
pital by Mrs. Medill Mccormick is severe
and unjust. However well selected the
site and adapted the fine building for its
purpose. yet it goes without saying that
it must of necessity be cherries abode for
it's inmates. Any one doomed to enter its
portals must almost Of necessity dismiss
hope of recovery. The amount appropriated
by Congress and the construction Of the
building on the ward plan is such as to
forbid segregation to any extent. Hence
1.-The horrors Of an unscreened tubercular
ward, where each patient has impressed
upon his conscience the long agony OF
progressive symptoms of approaching
DEATH
This is the condition provided by Con-
gresS for such as are afflicted by this
white plague, and are SO poor as to be
condemned to this refuge. 1t is pertinent
to inquire whether, with the means pro-
vided, the patients are made as comfort
able as Is possible.
The charges are made of uncleanliness.
of milk in cans, of storage'eggs. Of dust
and cObwebs. Without controverting
these specific charges. the report of the
three visiting nurses Of Miss Strong seems
to have been disinterested and thorough
and not one complaint had been received
by them from patients in the hospital In
the hospital whom / visited Ever since
that date have called at intervals Of a
week or ten days and have been cour-
teously received. / have noted the clean
illness of the Office, the hall. the apothe-
cary room and of one of the wardrooms,
all that came under my notice. A group
of patients answered me that they had
good food and plenty of it. The one par
ticular patient in whom l have been in
terested has never made complaint until
today, when he criticised the milk. He is
limited to this diet. and doubtless he is
now too feeble to judge. My own judg-
ment is that the hospital is run as well
as can be expected under the circum-
stances. Still it remains true that until
Congress provides lockers. adequate
dressing rooms, an assembly room and
some system of segregation this hospital
is the very last resort of doomed man.
No more gruesome plan can be devised
for burning into the brain of each patient
the course of a CHASTITY death than the
multiplied object lessons of an open ward.
Some mitigating methods may be devised,
but sooner or later Congress must bring
relief. WILLIAM c. STRONG.
