city December 10 she had no oppor-
tunity to correct the error.
AS for the charge made the Crab
trees for board, the hospital board
knew nothing Of that or any other
charge. The charge of $12 included
all services, care day and night, medi-
cines, including many hypodermics and
supplies. Fifteen regular meals were
served and there were so many extra
meals and lunches and so much dis
turbance and confusion that the cook
went on strike and decided to leave.
One patient did leave and others had
decided to go if the patients remained
longer. One patent was critically i'll
and her peril was increased by the
presence Of the insane patients. Dur
ing the time the Crabtrees were at
the hospital, everything was done that
could have been done, and from hui
manitarian, not from mercenary, mo-
tives. Miss Flynn charged for pay
patients in accordance with the infor-
nation she received when she agreed
to allow the Crabuees to remain there
temporarily. Had the board of control
Of the hospital known of any call for
charity TO these people, it would only
too gladly have bestowed it, as it does
in all merltorius cases. For all the
board knew or knows to this day this
family may have ample means. 1t is
more than likely that the superintend-
ent's mind was not the more favor
ably impressed when she ascertained
that the man was a drunkard and a
morphine fiend AS for the board for
extra nurses and attendants, the hos
pital authorities did not authorize the
payment Of board for the extra EN-
ployes. but the superintendent merely
receipted the bill authorized by the
physicians.
| While Miss Flynn, the superintend-
ent, was solely responsible for the
charges made by the hospital and
which were trivial in view of the ser
vices given. and while she did not
consult with the board regarding the
matter, yet the board feels that her
actions throughout were charitable,
honorable and in every way above
criticism. The receipts, hastily given,
may have conveyed an erroneous i'm
preston, but the exact facts have now
been stated. The management of the
hospital does not feel that it can
properly be made the subject of any
criticism for the handling of this pitt
able case, but rather that commenda-
ton should be accorded for the pain
stalking, efficient and sympathetic
manner in which the employees. and
the members Of the board who were
called IN, and whose attention was

supervisor, who went personally to the
hospital and remained without pay
until the removal of the couple to the
asylum. Until Dr. McClanahan and
Dr.. Grail arrived, after both patients
had been, without any explanation,
carried into the hospital no one con
neeted with the institution had any
information whatever about the case.
Then Miss Flynn was informed that
these patients were able to pay for
the services rendered. Miss Flynn is
not now in the service Of the hospital
and is absent from the state, but the
board of control is certain that the
superintendent understood that the
two patients were in a hysterical con-
dition from the altitude or some other
temporary cause and would be able to
continue their journey the day follow
ing Notwithstanding, the patients
were taken under protest. The hos
pital is not equipped for, isn't intended
for. and ought not be asked to receive
insane patients. In this case it could
nit help itself,
The two patients remained violent
the greater part Of the time until they
were removed to the asylum Sunday
evening. A large part of the time
it was necessary to forcibly restrain
them No special nurses were en-
played or paid by the hospital Two
nurses and two attendants were EN-
played by the physicians and Miss
Flynn signed the receipts showing the
payment of the amounts allowed them
by the doctors because the money had
been placed in her possession, when
the patients were brought there. In
addition to the four extra assistants
employed, not only we're the services
Of the regular hospital corps taxed to
the utmost, but one Of the members
of the board spent all her time there
and two others were later called to
assist, and they put aside their own
family duties to enable them to do 50.
The two children were hysterical and
unmanageable. It became impossible
to keep them at the home, and the
superintendent arranged to have them
taken to q private home and agreed
to pay for such services as were need
ed. It was thea that Mrs G. H. schir-
mer came to the rescue and offered
| to take the children to her own house
free Of charge. Mrs. Boucher, Mrs.
Carroon and Mrs. zingg also offered
to take the children free. Therefore,
the sum of eight dollars charged by
Miss Flynn, under the belief that the
children had been sent to home
where a charge would be made, was
not expended. AS Miss Flynn left the

CHRISTMAS MAIL
COMES WITH A
RUSH
NEARLY 700 PACKAGES ARRIVED
YESTERDAY FOR THE EAST
LAS VEGAS OFFICE

Nearly 700 Christmas packages were
received at the postoffice yesterday
for distribution here. The carrier
who carries the mail from the depot
to the postoffce was forced to make
two trips with his large wagon afttr
the arrival of each mail train. The
Old Town office also did big busi-
ness.
Business is decidedly heavy, in and
out. Today at the postoffice, as is
every Monday before Christmas, the
business was unusually heavy, the
clerks being worked until their eyes
grew dim and their faces wrinkled.
In order to make faster delivery of
the packages, orrin Blood, assistant
postmaster, this morning pushed his
automobile out through the snow, load
ed it at the postoffce and started out
fighting the snow and delivering
Christmas packages Had Mr.. Blood
donned Santa Claus uniform he
would have been greeted as the real
thing by all the kids in the city The
automobile was loaded each time a
trip was made and on account of the
snow the delivery was rather slow.
Postmaster f. 0. Blood expects a
wonderful business during the next
few days. THE method used at the
office is to keep steadily at work and
the packages all win be delivered in
ample time.
All over the United States the same
rush Of business is being experienced,
and many Of the postmasters find
trouble in making delivery Of the big
inrush Of mail. Postmaster Blood de-
serves praise for the excellent man
ner in which he is handling the
Christmas rush.

CHARITY
IT WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT

The following communication was
handed The Optic this morning by
District Attorney Charles w. G. Ward:
Las Vegas, Dec. %. 1913.
To the Editor of The Las Vegas
Optic:
AS soon as possible after the publi-
cation OF an article in your paper

the city, and reflecting in some par
ticulars upon the Las Vegas hospital,
the board Of control OF the institution
held a meeting and made thorough
investigation Of every action connect
ed with the Crabrees in which the
hospital was concerned. At the re
quest of the board, Di&rict Attorney
Ward, who caused the receipts to be
published. was requested to prepare
and ask for the publication Of the sub
ioined statement Of facts. The board
of control wishes it to be understood
that its members do not criticize OF
censure the action of any one. 1t
must, however, become apparent to
any fair minded person who reads the
following statement that If there were
any errors Of judgment, failure Of du-
ty or overcharges, the board of con-
troll Of the hospital cannot be held
to blame in any degree:
About 2 o'clock on the afternoon OF
Saturday. December 6, the Las Vegas
Undertaking company informed the
hospital by telephone that a patient
was on the way there in an ambul-

For many years the Santa re paid
its advertising bills with the country

Savage was in close touch with all
the newspaper men Of the state. He
knew every one Of them by their inti-

known railway official Of his day. He
won and held a host of friends. A
close student of newspaper writing,
advertising and makeup, he was Of i'm
