APPEAL FOR DICKENS FUND.
Joseph II. Choate's Plea on Eghtieth
Birthday Anniversary.

NEW YORK. January 24.-Joseph H.
Choate, former ambassador to Great
Britain. is today celebrating his eightieth
birthday anniversary. He was born in
Salem, Mass, in 1882. Mr.. Choate chose
to signalize the day by issuing an ap-
peal in behalf of the Dickens centenary
fund, Of which he is American chairman.
His birthday letter" says:
Those concerned in this movement are
vitality solicitous of its success in this
country. The centenary will be observed
February Z, which means that the time
Is short. II we raise the 10000 expected
of us to match 4 Similar fund il Eng
land. 1t will be necessary to hurry. To
stop short would be a sad commentary
on our loyalty to an author whose works
have been q source Of lifelong inspiration
to us. Dickens was q practical man. He
believed in substantial evidence of love-
real helpfulness. 1t Is the philosophy of
his writings.
Had Dickens been protected in the
enjoyment OF American royalties morally
due him on his books. none OF his family
would be in need. We did not grant him
that protection. This Is our change to
make amends. 1t will not come again.

$4,000 early today. There were 1900
male and female inmates in the building

$50 men from one section of the mems
ward where the flames were confined At
no time was there anything like q panic,
The fire started In tower near the

cred the nurses and attendants hastily
awakened the sleeping inmates in that
section OF the hospital and marched them
into another building.
The loss to the building was principally
from water and smoke. The tower where
the IRE started was the only thing that
was burned.

HOSPITAL FOR WOMEN
FAVORED BY GALuNGER
Senator Will Advocate New
Building and Appropriation
for Maintenance.

That he will work for an appropria-
ton looking toward the erection OF q
new Columbia Hospital for Women as
well as for the maintenance Of the
present one in the meanwhile is the
answer Of Senator Gallinger. chairman
of the subcommittee on District ap-
populations Of the Senate committee
on appropriations. to the action Of the
House yesterday in knocking out the
federal support of that institution.
The senator said he was fully cognizant
Of the fact that the board Of charities
for several years has been determined to
destroy that hospital. which Is the only
institution OF the kind in the District. be-
ing wholly owned by the government, and
anna rently 1t has accomplished Its purpose
SO far as the House Is concerned.
Will Assume Responsibility.
He said that If the issue is to be raised
he is prepared to take the responsibility
of favoring the abolition OF the board OF
charities rather than the abolition OF Co
mmbia Hospital. The senator said that II
his view prevails the Items VIII pc re-
stored to the bill and an appropriation
made for the preparation of plans for a
new hospital for women on the site OF
the present hospital, which Is very much
needed in the District.
He said he had personal knowledge OF
the work done in Columbia hospital and
he also has the testimony of some of
the leading surgeons of the country
which goes to show that for skill and
technioue no hospital In the land has a
higher reputation than Column 1ia.
He expressed astonishment that liberal
appropriations are to be continued to pri.
vate hospitals while the only government
hospital is to be abandoned.
II. said the senator, as liberal appro-
priations had been made in the past for
columbta Hospital as Tor certain . private
Columbia Hospital Is In an unsafe con-
dition would not be heard. and had the
private hospitals been treated as meanly
as Columbia has been. they, too would
doubtless greatly need repairs.
