EyERYBODYS DOING 1T
WOMAN AGAIN
SEEKS DEATH

NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-Mrs Harris.
month ago through the local news
papers publicly asked for death be-
lieving herself an incurable paraly-
tic, sent a third appeal TO the press
from her bed in the Audubon Sana-
| forum. She Is still insistent that
the law should provide relief for
sufferers whose only prospect is that
they will linger on, bedridden until
life ends
Mrs. Grover Cleveland has an in
valid relative In the sanatorium. She
called there on Thanksgiving Day
and, knowing of the case of Mrs
! Harris. visited her for an hour. This
touch of sympathy greatly moved the
| invalid Mrs. Cleveland on departing

to consult friends as TO means of re-
lief

made were too crude. let me soften

for patients like myself OF whom I
believe there are thousands doomed
to useless lives. The public can find
a way. Let the many-minded speak.
AS a basis for relief I propose that
the law authorize the submission OF
chronic cases at the patients option,
to medical or surgical experts In the
diseases under consideration They
should be empowered to perform all
operations deemed advisable by them

is hope for relief When finally they
