A. v. Braderick has disposed of
his interest i'm the Milwaukee
Lumber company and has also
sold his residence and will retire
from active business life. This
announcement was made by Mr..
Braderick i'm Spokane Saturday to
a representative of the Chronicle.
Fred Ierrick, president and
majority stockholder of the COM
lpany, purchased Mr. Braderick's
holdings i'm the company, which
amounted to one quarter of the
stock, which with the stock Mr..
Herrick had before, now gives him
three fourths of the stock of the
company.
by the sale of his stock i'm the
lumber company and the property
where he resides, Mr.. Braderick
las disposed of all of his interests
i'm this city. He is planning ON
spending a mosth i'm Los Angeles
after which ne will take up work
which he has had i'm mind for a
long time, that is, a move To care
for the crippled children of the
United States
Some time ago ne endowed a
crippled children's ward i'm the
Deaconess hospital i'm Spokane,
which ne has kept filled with the
children of needy families and
through this work evolved plan
TO duplicate the work through
out the United States and pro-
poses to raise a fund sufficiently
large To carry on This work ON
the scale proposed by contribu-
lions from the Methodists of the
nation. He will go east i'm May
To lay his plans before the gem
eral conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, which meets at
Saratoga at that time.
Mr.. Braderick declared the pur-
pose of his plan TO be:
First to relieve the sufferers
and make them as nearly fit to
fight lifc's battles as possible,
from a humanitarian standpoint.
Second. to make them useful
and producing citizens, instead of
burdens lo themselves and to
their friends.
''Third. for economic reasons
from the standpoint of the pub
lie.
Fourth, to place them i'm po-
silion TO assist others, instead of
having TO be assisted.
"Firth, because so many of
fthcse troubles can be overcome
lby modern surgery and proper
treatment that it is a crime ON
The part of our nation that they
are permitted to exist and that
these children be permitted To
grow up with misshapen and de-
Formed bodies when their trouble
could be overcome i'm infancy
and early youth"
81 do not think it worth while
to present any argument as ia
lwhy this work should be done,
said Mr.. Braderick i'm outlining
the plan which he will present tC
the general conference i'm May.
"Being a lumberman, natural
