REMIT TANCE MAN IS
FOUND DEAD IN ROOM
James Russell, Globe-trotter
and Peddler, Dies in a
Lodging House.

James Russell. "a years of age, an
English remittance man. globc.trotter
and peddler, was found dead in room
of lodging house at 205 East Second
South street last night.
DR.. S. G. Paul was called and after
examining the body was of the opinion
that death had resulted from some
natural cause. such as heart failure,
probably aggravated by alcohol. The
body was removed TO the undertaking
rooms of Joseph William Taylor
The fact that Russell had not been
seen to enter or leave his room since
Wednesday caused the landlady to look
in his room. Kneeling with face buried
in the quilts Of the cot, as If in an Mt.
titude of devotion, the body of the
aged man was found, rigid and cold
Decomposition had set in and it is
thought that death had occurred at least
twenty.four hours before the body was
found.
Among the letters found in the room
were two envelopes addressed one to c,
H. Russell. ID Christmas street, Bristol
England, and the other to Herbert Rus
sell, 8 Clayton street, Caledonia road
London, England. In other letters, it
appeared that the two men to whom
the envelopes are addressed are sons of
the dead man.
Until few weeks ago Russell had
lived at the Oxford rooming house, on
East Second South street, where he had
been for more than two years, while
peddling thread needles, pins and other
notions about the city. Little was ever
learned of his past life, except that his
wife died many years ago in England
and that he had wandered over a great
part of the earth since that time. He
was said to receive a regular quarterly
remittance from England, but was Q
heavy drinker and was usually without
funds

ISOLATION HOSPITAL
MAY Be ABANDONED
County Attorney Says Law
VIII Not Permit Building
at Infirmary.

In view of written opinion by the
county attorney rendered to the com
missioners yesterday, the county may
be obliged to abandon the plan to es-
tablish a pest house 10 be operated in
dependentlv of the city isolation hos
pital.
The county attorney calls attention
10 the state law passed by the 1911
lepislature wherein 1T is provided that
no hospital for the harboring Of small
pox shall be constructed within twenty
rods of any highway, or within quar-
ter OF a mile of any uncovered stream
from which water is taken for culinary
purposes.
II was the plan of the county com
missioners to build a hospital on the
grounds of the pounty infirmary, the
idea being to escape the bills rendered
to the county by the city for county
patients cared for at the present isoIa-
ton hospital. Now, however, it is
found that the grounds of the infirmary
arc not large enough to allow the con
struction of such building without
violation of the law.
While there is no doubt AS to the au-
thority of the county commissioners TO
bearing on the location of such insti-
tutons is plain, says the county at
torney.
In another opinion, along the same
lines given TO the commissioners. yes
terday, the attorney declares that the
county will not have the legal right to
admit non-indigent patients to the hos
pital free of charge. The only source
of maintenance for such n hospital
would be from the poor fund and under
the constitutional functions Of that
fund if is expressly provided that it
shall not he spent for non-indigent
