Death Takes Little Baby,
as Solution Of the Problem

bit Of flesh live They do not stop
to think what pain and anguish this
child would have suffered in every
minute Of 1ucidness that might per
chance have flashed into it's life.
Il think many of my critics would
do we'll to lavish more interest and
affection and sympathy on the thou
sands upon thousands Of poor chill
dren who have their full mental and
physical faculties at birth, but who
are allowed to become detectives
through lack of proper care and food.
"Few have stopped to realize what
1t would have meant to those other
three babies in the Bollinger home to
be associated always with this last
child. Was it right to three living
children to afflict them this way?
Was it right to children that perhaps
are still to bless the Bollingers, that
the mother should be compelled to
bear them with the present constant
picture of this child before her? Ask
real mothers that last question and
the answer can be guessed.
Orphan asylums, of course, cannot
be eliminated. but they are not the
answer to big question. I have seen
too much of the pitiful side Of insti-
tutional care of children who need
care in small groups. II some Of my
critics. instead of specializing on
Airedale terriers and poodles, adopted
children, I would heed more their
criticisms"

two adopted daughters, one fifteen
years old and the other seventeen
months. The baby's mother aban-
doned her in hospital where DR..
Haiselden visits.

May Take Action.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-Coroner Hoff-
man today received an official report
from one OF his staff physicians, rec
lommending issuance of permit to
bury the pitifully misshapen body of
Baby Bollinger. In the meantime
many persons opposed to DR.. s. ].
Haiseldens course in permitting ths
infant to die without an operation,
were circulating petition demanding
that medical authorities take steps t.
revoke DR.. Haiselden's license to prac-
tice.
Health Commissioner DR.. Robertson
today frankly declared he believed
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-11-18

some action should be taken to prevent
future practices Of the kind. He fatty
refused burial permit, explaining,
however, that If the coroner's office
recommends 1T, he must grant one.
The mother was told Of her baby's
death by her husband just before noon.
She has not seen the child and the
body will never be shown to her. She
desired 1t this way, saying that for
for the sake Of other little ones" that
may come" she thought 1t best not to
look upon the body. She merely was
told that the baby was terribly de.
formed and would be a mental and
moral defective. The details of its
deformities will not be told her.
Real Expert Opinion.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-"Baby Boil
linger is better dead"
That Is the verdict today of two
New York women, mothers OF defec-
tive children.
The women are Of the lower east
side, which knows the misery OF de-
fectiye children. If their babies were
to be born again they would let them
die, rather than live as they have
lived.
"The doctor should let the baby die
without telling the mother it could
have lived" said Mrs. Anna Schwartz,
Of Henley street, who works as a
scrub woman to support her epileptic
daughter, now woman Of twenty-five.
"If had known she was to be this
way, I would have let her die. 1t Is
hard, yes? But not for me. 1t Is
the child who suffers. She cannot do
anything-only wait"
Mrs. Rhoda Burke, who lives In
Houston street, and also is scrub
woman, agrees with Mrs. Schwartz
"My daughter? ! am so sorry for
her. She Is so weak. This SUNNI er
| on the farm helped her." she said.
"The Bollinger baby? It is better
dead The parents suffer some, but
not like the deformed baby. Life is
hard on the poor. The strong have it
hard enough When the mother dies.
there is no one to care for deformed
babies"
Settlement house workers, who live
among the poor and deal with their
detectives, agree with the mothers.
OF twelve young women at one settle
ment house, only one said DR.. Haisel-
den should have saved Baby Bollinger
and she admitted she was doubtful.

The situation" briefly is that Amer

tions and supplies abroad that they
refuse to pause in order to hasten the
building of United States battleships.
Daniels announcement today follows
advices from three prominent plants
which bid on battleships yesterday
that they may be greatly delayed in

to obtain supplies promptly.

In endeavoring to find out how
much it will cost to equip the Mare
Island and Philadelphia government
yards SO that they may turn out the
two battleships If necessary, Daniels
has found the cost at the Philadel-
phia yard probably will be $1,000.
Even with this cost added, he points
out, the price of the battleships at the
government yards would be less than
if it were built in private plant.
The government after construction
would also still have its tools and
improvements.
The most serious obstacle. he said.
to building either at Mare Island or

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 19.-The Serbs
situation Is desperate today. Both
their northern and southern armies
are In danger Of capture bodily. The
best they can hope, Is for a chance
to abandon Serbia to her invaders.
There is still the possibility that the
northern army may slip through Aus

The southern army stands a better
chance of getting into Albania. The
northern forces will be welcomed by
the Montenegrins, however. If they
