Dcs Moines. Iowa, March 3.-Iwo-
months-old Dorothy Cleveland, the
subnormal child whose parents asked
the police yesterday TO kill her merci-
fully, is going to have a chance fo-
life-a life as normal as surgeons can
give her.
Early to-day the child was removed
from the home Of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Cleveland, and taken TO
the Methodist Hospital BIZ Mrs. VI. NJ.

Noines. There whole staff OF sur
geons proceeded 10 give the child their
attention. DR.. VI. J.. Turner, chief Of
staff Of the hospital, will have charge
Of the case. All service will be given
free because the child's parents are
poor.
Or. J. y. Hsiselden, of Chicago,
whose action in permitting the Boil
irger baby in Chicago to die caused a
country wide Juror, wired TO Chief Of
Police Crawford to-day asking permis-
sion to come here and examine the
baby. Chief Crawford conferred with
Dr. Turner, and then wired this an
sWcr:
your services arc not required. We
have plenty of competent physicians IN

The opinion Of local surgeons was
that Or. Haiseldon's presence would
unnecessarily complicste matters. &c

the child if he should come 20 Des

cause Of the baby's crying
Little Dorothy did not cry 80 much
to-day. The surgeons started her On

so that the series Of operations on her
face may begin. She has an even
