SUFFERING NEGRO
Haa Bees Horribly Burned In Attem1t-
Tag 10 save Lives Of Chilaren
In retersb1rH.

Rarely, II ever. do the people Of a
community realize how heroic and
truly wonderful In the service rem
dered by hospital to suffering hu-
mainly.
That this condition should exist Is
not strange when the difficulty In Sc
curing information from the hospitals
relating to any case is recalled. For
long time Ii was looked upon as
''unethicaI' by a hospital to permit
any mention to be made In the press
regarding the care of patients. but
more and more. the hospital authori-
ties In every city are coming to I'M
derstand that people everywhere take
a deep and personal interest In those
stories telling OF the relief to suf-
ferinE humanity brought about by
modern medical skill and surgery.
Here is just such story. 1t throbs
and puisates with human interest. II
one can place himself In the position
of the luckless iaborer whose misfor-
tune makes the story possible.
His skin burned to q Crisp.
Early in April, a negro, Berkey
Moore by name, twenty-six years of
age, was terribly burned In attempt
Ing the rescue of some children in a
eonhagration which destroyed num-
her of dwellings in Petersburg. Hard
~ a portion OF his chest and arms
escaped without fearful burns The skin
was charred, and literally portions of
the flesh dropped away. His agony
and suffering were intense,
A physician in Petersburg dressed
the burns. He saw at a glance that
Moore required skillful hospital at
tention. Moore had no money. The
physician provided the railroad fare
to Richmond. and the suffering negro
made the trip alone TO this city, where
he hoped for relief.
He arrived here on April 10, and In
spite of the terrible nature of his
/ burns. he walked to a hospital where
many poor whites and negroes are
cared for. He asked for admission.
| The rules permitted only Richmond
residents to enter. and the man was
turned away. He had no money. he
had not been referred to any hospital
by a local physician, and twice after
! his frst refusal he was turned away.

was impossible, seemingly to secure.

the intensity of his suffering, Moore
was led to Memorial Hospital, and here
he was accepted. An examination OF
