WILSON AND NA0N
KEEP MEDIATION UP
Argentine Envoy Visits Washing
ton and Returns to Canada
with New Hope.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 19,-Mediation has
been saved for another day at least II
not longer.
The Argentine Minister, Romulo s..
Naon, one Of the A 3 c mediators, I'M
expectedly appeared in Washington
this morning, and late tonight, as he
was about to take the train for Niagara
Falls. after conferences with President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan and Luis Ca
brera. he expressed the hope that me-
diation still might bring peace to
Mexico.
This afternoon Sefior Naon had two
hours conversation with the Secretary
NJ state. Tonight he talked for more
than an hour with tho President and
Secretary Bryan at the White House.
Between times he had long interview
with Luis Cabrera, one Of the agents
81 the Constituticnalists Cabrera Wis
tied him at his legation, leaving there
shortly before o'clock through a rear
entrance. Atterward he denied that he
had been there at all.
II Is believed that the President and
Mr.. Bryan drove home TO Senior Naon
their Arguments against any solution
at Niagara Falls which would not be
satisfactory 10 the Constituencies.
There is also a belief tonight that the
administration presented new pro-
poSal which Senior Naon Is taking back
TO his colleagues 20 ascertain if it will
be acceptable 10 them.

D bR|EN HAGEN
co PROMISES
EXCITEMENT

One of the best bouts ON the
card of six to be offered by the
Eagles next Thursday night looks
to be the fOur-rough go between
Jim O'Brien and Romeo Hagen,
both of whom rank high among
the middleweights of this section.
There is no dought of the fact
that Aagen is a mighty tough GUS
toner, and will be boring in all
the time. Romeo does not give
his opponents very much oppor-
tunity to rest. But in the Irish
champion the Seattle boxer will
be up against a man as strong as
himself, and probably more clev-
er. This go should be a corker.
There are five other bouts on
the bill, all of whom look to be
above the ordinary, and the box
ers are now hard at work licking
themselves into shape for the
milling.

Commissioner Kingsbury has trans
ferred the general medical superintend
ent from Manhattan TO set right the
matters needing administrative control
in the Kings County Hospital In his
report. however. he states that the
most serious conditions in this hospital
can be corrected only by the substitu
ton of new building for the old one.
The report on the Cumberland Street
Hospital reads as follows:
1T is a mild statement 20 say that
the conditions found in Cumberland
Street Hospital are a disgrace to the
CITY of New York. Men'with fractured
legs in casts were sleeping on the floor
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-06-21

The report reveals this interesting
situation with respect to the so-called
unpaid helpers in the Municipal Lodg-
ing House:
Upward Of two hundred men were
frequently lodged with more or less
regularity in the best beds in the house
under the guise Of unpaid helpers, and
to the exclusion Of the men willing 10
work but unable to find it. One Of
these star boarders stated that he had
been placed IN the institution by a
Tammany leader years ago, soon after
the lodging house was established; that
he had been living there ever since as
an unpaid helper; moreover, he didn't
propose to relinquish his right without
a fight"
The night superintendent informed
the Commissioner that the unpaid help
ers did practically no work; that the
cleaning and bed making were per-
formed by the transients, generally
made up of honest but unfortunate
working men, anxious to get out OF
the house early in the morning to hn1

floor OF the morgue. They were pro-
vided with inadequate and poorly pre-
pared food. The food has now been
improved by the addition Of a thick
soup for the evening meal.
The heavy pressure upon the Munic-
ipal Lodging House was relieved by fit a.
ting up the recreation pier at the foot
of East oath ST. as an annex, provid-
ing therein 600 cots. This pier was
transformed into a dormitory and
turned over to the department, fitted,
equipped and opened for dodgers in a
period of five days BY substituting
double-d ecked cots for single cots,
the bed capacity of the lodging house
proper was increased by 157. now max
ing a total of 925 beds. 1t should be
stated, however, that even with these
added beds It has been necessary al
most every night to shelter some men
and some nights several hundred men
--on the departments boats. The con-
ditions there, however. have been much
improved"

AT CUMBERLAND

pital the designations of the super
intendent and the superintendent Of the
Training School for Nurses were Sc
cured by Commissioner Kingsbury.
The matron has also resigned, and a
new acting superintendent has been
appointed. A new building at this In
stitution to replace the present one is
urgently recommended.
THE most serious and shocking con-
ditions of overcrowding were found
in the Municipal Lodging House, at
432 East 25th st., which cares for
homeless men and women. The entire
institution was honeycombed with pet
" graft, as stated in the report.
During early January over one
thousand men, each night, were packed
on the floors of the saloon decks Of
the departments steamboats,. Men
were also packed in the waiting rooms
and on some occasions on the chapel

effective way it can-namely. by pro
viding more space for the unfortunates
who present themselves to these insti-
buttons with the expectation that the
city will give them modern hospital
treatment and humane care.
THE Commissioner informs me that,
considering the crowded conditions, the
hospitals are generally well managed.
He points out, however, instances Of
very lax administration and even of
gross inediciency. The sick poor were,
in some Instances, found sleeping on
bare floors and on benches. These

should be taken TO relieve the existing

INFiRMARY AT
THE METROPOLITAN.

Some relief of the congestion in the
tuberculosis Inhrmary Of the Metro
politan Hospital has already been et-
fected by the transfer Of patients and
by using the solarium as a large ward.
The report further states that the con-
gestion Of the Metropolitan Hospital
will be further relieved Immediately by
the opening of the new addition 10 the.
east pavilion, for which the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment has just
made appropriation.
Even worse conditions were discov-.
cred in the Kings County Hospital In
this old building not only are beds
crowded side by side in dark, dingy
wards in which the sunlight never en-
tiers. and not only are the halls and the
corridors crowded with sick people for
whom there are no beds, but, according

of the hospitals the corridors being

were discovered sleeping on the bare
floor. or benches, and even sitting or
half reclining on two chairs, with no
mattress and no covering but single
thin blanket.
THE hospitals in the Department of
Public Charities are so overcrowded as
TO make it impossible to give proper
care to the city's sick poor. The wards
in certain Of the hospitals are so dark

used as wards. Even during the slack
est season of the year, when many OF
the up-patients leave the hospital
these corridors are filled with beds.
For six 10 eight months in the year not
only do these crowded conditions OBJ
tain. but springs are placed on the
floors between almost every bed, and
one must walk with great care to avoid
stepping on the patients lying on the
floors in the corridors between the
rows of beds and the wall. This condi-
ton is a disgrace indeed"

Eleven city hospitals are controlled

all of them, and inhuman treatment is
frequently the consequence. Amelio-
