not administer an oath. The city provides
him with no clerk to take notes for him in the
course of an autopsy; it provides him with no
jars for the receipt Of organs or viscera; it
doesn't even provide him with carfare. And,
finally, he is called upon to make technical
report TO a superior, the Coroner who is
usually absent from his Office, but who cannot
understand what he is talking about in any
case. What kind of physician can be got to
do this drudgery for $1,000 year? How can
efficiency be expected OF any physician under
these conditions; And, lastly, who is there
to keep the slightest check on his activities?
Commissioner Walstein answers these ques-
tons as follows:
With few exceptions, including notably DR..
Otto II. Schultze, the Coroners physicians are
of mediocre capacity and are not subject to
any adequate control or supervision.
Having slight qualification at the time of
their appointment, they haye seldom developed
any scientific interest in their work, although
it represents one of the most fertile fields for
the extension Of accurate scientific knowledge.
They are members of no learned bodies de.
voted to the discussion OF the scientific devel-
opments of diagnosis and pathology. They
themselves make no contributions to the de-
velopment of these sciences. In few years
they become callous or Indifferent to the char
acter OF their work. .
Generally the Coroners' physicians have
preferred chronic cause Of death. Among
these are chronic nephrtis, chronic endocar-
ditis and among infants, infantile commissions
When the details surrounding death are frag-
mentary, and where there is no clinical his
tory. instead of considering the need Of
most thorough examination the greater, the
Coroners' physician usually reverts to his rou-
tine cause of death. A contest between chronic
nephrtis and endocardits, for example, would
be both close and exciting. A.,

suicide or homicide. In another case, that
of Charles Ingram, who died January %, 1909,
outside physicians performed a post-mortem
examination, which revealed fracture at the
back of the skull, although no abrasion of the
scalp appeared. 1t had evidently been done
with a sandbag or some soft implement which
fractures the skull without cutting the scalp.
Then there's the very recent scandal over
the issuance of death certificate in the case
of Edward Seaman. DR.. Leblanc, Coroner's
physician, had certified the death as due to
chronic nephritis. But the District Attorneys
Office, becoming suspicious, ordered the flu
neral stopped and an autopsy performed. The
latter indicated clearly that Sc mans skull had
been beaten in with hammer. An examna-
ton of the kidneys showed not the slightes.
trace OF nephritis.
II Coroners' physicians pass over cases like
these daily, as they undoubtedly do in the
perfunctory performance OF their routine, it
must be obvious that the more subtle crimes
never come TO their notice except through the
nerest accident. OF these, Commissioner
Wallsten says.
when the more subtle forms of homicide
are in question the most skilful application of
modern science is essential Thus it is we'll
known TACT that there are a number of fatal
poisons which produce commissions in infants,
and their symptoms are not easily distinguish
able from the symptoms of certain natural
causes Of death. Again, the effects of rritant
posons simulate the symptoms of cholera.
Strychnine poisoning often Stimulates tetanus.
Accordingly cases OF infantle commissions,
cases OF alleged gastro-enteritis and those of
alleged ptomaine poisoning, as well as those
suminarily disposed of as still births, prema-
ture births. atalectasis pulmonum and trismus
neonatorun. cannot uniformly be safely as
sunied 70 be due to natural causes"
Professor James Ewing, Of the Cornell Uni.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-02-14

The Coroner's physician, far from being
subject to any cont uous or effective control,
is practically law unto himself. 1t is impos-
sible for the average lay Coroner to exercise
any such supervision or control, because he
does not possess the knowledge on which alone
such supervision could be based Neither is he
in the habit of compelling his physician to
Justify his conclusions. 60.
UNBRIDLED IN HIS OFFICIAL ACTS
BUT is HE UNBRIBED3
"A serious by-product OF this complete lack
of supervision is that it opens the door wide
to extortion by Cofoners' physicians. Since
they are not required to make any adequate
record of their findings, nor to justify them to
the Coroner, whatever the Coroners physician
learns concerning case he may retain IN MS
own head. This information he may attempt
to sell to an insurance company or to any one
else interested in case. Similarly, since his
data have not been made a public record, he
may refrain from furnishing any information
if his demand for compensation is refused, or,
again, he may change his mind and tor con-
sideration become an expert witness tor the
defence From the testimony taken in private
hearings / must conclude that examples OF
such extorton are not uncommon
And how simple it would be for such an in
dividual to plant" a murder on an innocent
personl Attempts Of this sort are not unknown
in the conduct of the Coroners' Office. Indeed,
one might hunt throughout Russia in vain for
a more curious tumble of modernity and me-
disvasm than New York's corrupt, incom-
petent and tyrannical method of treating twen-
teth century homicid,.
And yet even the violent murders often re-
quire the exercise of no small ability to de-
termine their nature Commissioner Wallstein
cites the case of Eugene Rochette, who died
March g. 1914, from a bullet wound in the
BRAIN The Coroner's physician said immedi-
ately it was suicide. Capable pathologists
who also viewed the body said it would take
an autopsy to determine whether it was
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-02-14

Accounts, IN his report to the Mayor on the
coroners' system writes:
"Of the sixty.fve men who have been coro-
ners since consolidation nineteen were physi'
clans. eight were undertakers seven were poll
ticians and chronic officehoders, six were
small real estate dealers two were saloon
keepers and two were plumbers. The re-
mainder constitute miscellaneous assort-
ment, comprising lawyer, printer an auc-
tioneer, contractor, carpenter, painter, an ex-
pressnan. a butcher, wood carver, marble cut
ter. Labor leader, an insurance agent, mu-
sician, a milknlan, dentist and several whose
OCCUPATIONS were unknown
"Of the nineteen physicians elected TO the
Office, representing professional class having
more nearly sore knowledge to qualify for
the Office. not a single one was man OF any
standing or reputation in the medical profess
sion il this city. Generally speaking, they
have been doctors chiefly noted for their po-
litical activity"
1t must be very apparent, then, that the
guidance which Coroners jury may get from
the Coroner is generally worthless when IL
isn't corrupt, case of the blind leading the
blind.

OUR MOST FARCICAL INSTITUTION
THE CORONERS' PHYSICIANS.

But in an evident attempt to bolster up the
archaic institution OF the Coroner and the
Coroner's court, each Coroner with us is pro-
vided with a Coroners physician, whose duty
it is to examine INTO every death coming with
in the jurisdiction of his Coroner. An idea
of how valuable is this prop to the system may
be derived from the fact that Manhattan pro
vidcs four Cororers' physicians to examine
into 5000 deaths year-I,5oo, or an average
of between four and Eve day each, great
many of which should require the performance
of autopsies Each physician draws a salary
of S. 900; his beat is the whole island and
nominally he must work eight hours day,
seven days week. He must examine rela-
tves and friends of the deceased, but he cam

District 80.

Kind parents, teachers, schoolmates
and friends: We wish to extend to
you all a most hearty welcome to
this our county graduation and. to en-.
deavor to show you, in an indirect
way, what has been accomplished
during the past school year. We
have all had the same aim in view.
and that was, to pursue our studies
In such way, that we could success
fully graduate from the common
school course Of our county, and this
Still, as our motto implies, we have
not finished our school work but sim
ply have begun. We have finished
one phase of school work and passed
one milestone of our life, and have
yet many more before US. May not
one Of us think that because we have
accomplished this much, we are now
free to put books and all things per.
tanning to study away, and feel sat.
isfied that our education is finished;
but may we all feel that we have
simply begun and that we have much
to learn in order to make our educa
ton complete.
Speaking of education let us not
think that it means only the pursuit
of studies but that it means every
thing that will tend to make our lives
more complete. Let us be ever watch
full for things that will help us tc
become better men and women.
Perhaps all of us will not be able
thru certain circumstances to attend
any higher institutions of learning
| yet may we not let that hinder us
from becoming better educated. We
can find many ways in which to &C
complish this and some are; by study
ing certain subjects by ourselves, by
reading good books, by studying nat
ure, for there are many things which
nature can teach us, and by being
ever on the lookout for new things ir
life. May not one day 60 by without
making us feel that we have learned
something of value, no matter how
small and insignificant it seems al
the time. Let us keep in mind the
good old adage, 'Tall oaks from little
acorns grow" and may we feel thai
we are fitting ourselves little by lit
tie to fill the places of men and wo
men of today.
In closing l wish to say that we. are
all glad that we have had the oppor
tunity to finish the course in the com
mon schools of Kandiyohi county ant
we hope that we all may have thu
same chance in the higher. If W.
have but the desire and will power
we can not help but succeed and may
we ever keep in mind our motto
mot Finished But Begun"
I thank you.
