DIR. Haiselden Of Chicago Says That
He Will Permit Two Others

CHICAGO. July 25-Dr. Harry J.
Haiselden, who was brought into wide
publicity in November. 1915. by his refusal
to operate on Allan J. Ballinger six
year-old defective boy, who was q patient
at the German American Hospital. has
been brought into public notice again by
a similar refusal and the subsequent
death of a baby.
Following the death yesterday Of the
! baby, whose life might have been pro-
longed, but whose physical and mental
deformities were such that Or. Haiselden
refused to perform the operation which
might keep 1t in the word-the surgeon
declared that he has in his care two other
infants SO hopelessly afflicted that he is
permitting them to die.
Nothing Criminal in Action.
When it was learned that nothing was
being done to keep the baby alive, an
investigation was begun by DIR. John Din
Robertson, the health commissioner.
despite an announcement by States At
torney Hoyne that there was nothing
criminal in DIR. Haselden's action.
| II can see absolutely nothing criminal
! in the attitude of DIR. Haiselden toward
the baby. Certainly. from all 1 can learn
of the case, there is no basis for prosecu-
tion." the states attorney said.
DR.. Haiselden's Statement.
| DIR. Haiselden said:
| when l saw the baby l knew it had
| lived too long already. The brain was
extremely small and there was no normal
skull formation. The head rested on the
shoulders and there was practically no
neck. The ears were deformed and there

IN Q bulletin urging women to sign
tho pledge. sent to organizations in
forty eight states today tho women's
committee OF the national council
points out two reasons. which. It be-
lfeves. have kept women from signing
the pledge
First. there are women who seem
to think that this request for allie
glance is q criticism OF their house
keeping methods.
Second. It is not yet clear IN many
minds that any such revolutionary re-
Arrangement Of their households Is
necessary to help America win the
war"
1t is pointed out that both these
reasons are not valid: that abnormal
times bring the necessity for special
economics, and that such economies
con be effective only when they are
concerted.
