JOHNSON WON'T HAVE TO
STAY IN JAIL.

~
Jack johnson, negro pugilist,
will not have to stay in Jail until
his trial on charges Of white slav-
cry.
This was the decision of Fed
eral Judge Carpenter today. The
judge said that Johnson's pc
culiar flight for Canada with his
white wife might have been
caused merely blythe negro's "ec-
centricities."
The court then warned John
son that any further attempt by
him to leave the northern district
of Illinois would result in the can
collation. of his bonds and his i'm
mediate arrest.
In the midst of the hearing,
John Morris, saloonkeeper, Al w.
I'D st., who went on Johnson's
bond for $1,000 on the smuggling
charges against the Big Smoke,
entered the courtroom.
4 want to surrender Jack
Johnson, " said Morris. He didn't
tell me hewas going to Toronto,
and l believe he was trying to
leave the country for good"
Judge Carpenter gave Johnson
two days in which to replace the
Morris bond.
Assistant U. S. District Attor-
that Johnson's bond be cancelled !
and he be sent to Jail when the
federal district court was opened
this morning.

IS HOSPITAL TREATMENT ABUSED?

The Orleans Parish Medical
Society at its meeting Monday
night devoted a good deal of time
to the reported abuses of the free
treatment at the hospitals. 1t
was claimed by many OF the
speakers aud by the report:of a
special committee on hospital
abuse that very many people who
could afford to pay for medical or
surgical treatment seek the free
medical advice afforded by the
charita bic institutions and take
advantage of the facilities of the
Charity Hospital, which should
be reserved for the destitute poor.
This abuse, 1T was claimed, not
only placed a great burden upon
the time and energies OF the
medical profession, noted for its
disinterestedness and benevo-
lence, but also hampered the
efforts of the members of that
profession in behalf of the really
deserving poor.
That the free treatment afford
ed by the hospitals has been
sometimes abused there can be
little doubt, but that the abuse
lis as extensive as was ,,made to
appear at the meeting of the
Parish Medical Society is hard to
believe. Destitution and pow
erty are more widespread in all
probability than the learned
medical gentlemen imagine
hence it does not always follow
: that persons seeking free treat
ment yet wearing every appear
ance of responsibility and ability
, to pay, can actually afford to pa!
. for private treatment. Tha'
there are some impOstors wh'
take advantage of widespread
public charity is certain, jus
where to draw the line lisa yer.
8 serious question. 1t would b.
better to be imposed upon b.
: ! thousand of undeserving peopl
than that a single really destitut
4 man or woman should be turne,
away.
: 1t has always been the glory 0
the great Charity Hospital unde
Levery management that no sic
jperson was ever turned from it

A DAsTARDLY ATTEMPT AT MURDER
New Orleans Picayune.)

The attempt made the other
day in this city to kill poor Ital.
ian woman by means OF an infer
nal machine or bomb sent through
the United States mails should
receive the prompt and serious
attention both of the police and
of the postal authorities. Out.
RACES OF this character are fire..
quent enough in New York and
the perpetrators have generally
escaped detection, but New Or.
leans has heretofore been free Of
such attempts. This city is a
much smaller community than
New York however. hence it
ought to be much easier to run
down criminals of the sort that
employ bombs or internal ma.
chimes.
twas due entirely to a fortunate
accident that the internal ma
chine which was contained in a
small package received through
the mails. ostensibly a Xmas.
present. did not kill the poor
woman for whom it was intended.
That it was an effective device
was shown by the promptness
snd violence Of the explosion
rand that it would have accom-.
plished it's purpose had the in
tended victim been near enough
the physical results OF the explo.
sive show. The sending Of ex-
pIosive substances through the
mails is a serious offense against
the postal laws, but the evident
attempt at murder is even more
serious.
7 Violent crimes among certain
class of people have been com.
mon enough In this city. but a
resort to dynamite is a new and
dangerous violation OF this
! criminal tendency which must be
promptly stopped. The people
of New Orleans are patient and
long suffering, but past history
has shown that there are limits to
forbearance. The employment
OF bombs and internal machines
! is an innovation that they GER
tainly will not tolerate. hence
the police will be expected to fer.
ret out and arrest the rrepstrator
| of this outrage without delay, so
that ne can be given the full ex.
tent OF the law. A crims like
that of yesterday Ia something
more than an act of private ven.
geance. since others than the in
tended victim are apt to suffer.
The sending OF an internal
machine is, moreover one of the
most cowardly of crimes and calls
for proper execration. NO. Pic.

doors, no matter what his or her
previous condition may have
been or actual condition in the
social world, for that matter.
This great institution is main
tanned by the taxed and vOlun-
tary contributions the people of
Louisiana for the treatment of
all sick who may apply. 1t was
never intended to serve as a
great experimental school of
medicine or to be under the
domination of the. medical fra
ternity or any portion thereof.
The people would not be willing
that any restrictions should be
placed on the reception of patti
ents by the hospital. The mere
fact that man woman or child
is sick and applies for admission
and treatment should entitle the
sufferer to the best care that the
institution can afford, That this
magnificent charity may some
times be abused is no reason for
changing the rule that has ou-
tanned for several generations
that no. sick person shall be
turned away from its portals. As
it is clearly impossible to sepa-.
rate the undeservlng from the
real objects of charity. the only
safe rule is to maintain the old
custom of making sickness and
present need the sole test.-N.
