London, May 9-New wonders in ''liv-

light almost every day. One Of the latest
developments is that of the Leitz epidia-

This wonderful contrivance is able TO
throw upon a screen living and moving
objects magnified beyond eighty diane
ters in their natural colors.
In order to understand how this is
done, it should be explained that a
interchangeable protector has been fitted
to the large Leitz epidiascope. which
enables the apparatus to show ordinary
films OF surgical operations, an improve

Male qualities are every bit as noble.

Charges that hospital accommodations

another is detrimental to the patients and
tanned in a presentment the grand jury
handed to Justice John J. Brady in the
supreme Court yesterday.
These charges are only a part OF the ar
raignment of the Bronx hospital system
and equipment. At the Riverside Hospi-
tai. il is asserted, only one of the resident
physicians had license to practice medi-
cine in New York State
Immediate changes at Fordham Hospi-
tai. including the enlargement OF the
plant, are urged by the grand Jurors, and
the provision. without delay Of conta-
Cious hospital. The ambulance. districts
also are said to be improperly apportioned
so that there are not enough vehicles TO
do the work.
The presentment. which was the result
of District Attorney Francis Martins in
ouiry into conditions, says in part:
we have made an investigation OF the
lOSDltdl COUOltlOIS LILO NON'ANJ
Bronx and have had a number Of witness
es appear before us and testify In refer
ence to facilities for the care OF the Sick
our Investigation has disclosed certain
facts to which we belive your attention
should be directed to the end that you
and the proper authorities may take such
steps as you may deem necessary to rem
edy present conditions.
ut has been brought to our attention
that during all seasons, Irrespective o.
weather conditions, patients suffering
from contagious diseases are conveyed In
an ambulance to the dock at 1920 street
and transferred to a boat at that place
then taken across the river and trans
ferred TO another ambulance, and al
times transferred from the hospital on
North Brother Island to Willard Parker
Hospital at the foot of East 18th street.
I'VE have also been informed that the
boats used for patients are not properly
eouipped and are wholly inadequate for
the purpose
The grand Jurors recommended better
transfer facilities; a reapportionment OF
the ambulance districts, and the use OF
motor vehicles wholly; the employment IN
IN. hospitals OF physicians only who have
state licenses; new hospital equipment
and the appointment Of a single board to
administer the affairs of all the city hos
pitfalls.
Higher salaries are needed, tho report

JUSTICE BURR UPHELD
Right to Sit in Case of Former
Client Sustained.

Justice Crane, in the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn. yesterday handed down de-
cision UNFOLDING the legal right OF Jus
tice Joseph A. Burr to sit as member
of the Appellate Division during the hear
ing Of an appeal in the litigation over the
estate of William Il. Kins, whose widow
Mary i. King, was client of the hrm or
which he was formerly member.
The matter came before the court in an
action brought by Buell. G. Davis. an edi-
TOR. OF Glen Cove. and sister OF Mary
e. King. against George W. Seward, as
administrator of the estate of William II.
King. TO set aside the decision in former
litigation.
Justice Crane says the decision does not
call for the expression OF his opinion on
the professional ethics of Coombs and Will
son. in whose Office Mrs. Kings viii was
drawn, while Justice Burr was a member
OF the firm.
The case will probably go TO the Court
OF Appeals.
