Duffy Will Aid.

John Mccormack and Father Duty
will give their services Sunday night at
the formal opening In Carnegie Hall Of
the Catholic drive for funds to build
temporary places of worship In devas-
tated France.
Announcement of the plan Of cam

bishop Hayes issued q letter calling
upon all Catholics to support the project,
and stating that 100000 In all 10
needed.
The Archbishop WIN preside at the
Carnegie Hall meeting and viii explain
the purposes of tho drive. The chaplain
Of the Fighting Sixty-ninth" will make
an appeal and Mccormack viii give

tor of the knights Of Columbus, will de-
liver addresse.
The Archbishop has designated Sun

ship.
Tho cnurch OF a large portion Of
northern France" he writes. 'has been
literally hattened to the ground. Over
1000 churches. schools. orphanages and
converts have been either totally de-
stroyed or 80 ruined as to put them be-
yond all possible service. Priests have
nowhere to offer the holy sacrifice OF the
mass and the faithful have no place for
the reception OF the sacramentA
Protestant religious bodies announce
boldly their appeals for hundreds
Of millions OF dollars for the object of
spending large portion of these funds
In northern France for missionary work.
Certainly there Is no need for sueh re-
lisious activity unless It be for the
avowed purpose of supplantinS our holy

II was learned that he had advised q
mother TO give morphine to a deformed
child 30 that II might die quicker and
not suffer The child had n micro
cephalus head, he said, and could not
live.
He took the stand that in all cases Of
hopeless disease, even In older people.
where death is certain and the suffering
great, morphine should be given to
lessen the pain and bring about a quick
and easy death. What caused an out
burst Of public criticism thfs time was
the picture formed In the minds Of the
public by description Of the mother
holding her baby and giving II the drug
which would end Its life. The objection
was so great that finally DR.. Haiselden
sent tho baby to a hospital and recedcd
from his position TO the extent Of with
holding the drug.
He was always an advocate of the
sterilization of criminals and detectives,
although he believed. that many cases Of
both kinds could. be cured by operations.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-Dr Harry j.
Haiselden, the physician who attracted
attention In 1915 because Of his re-
fusai to operate on 4 baby born physi-
caily and mentally defective and per-
hitting It to die In q few days. died
yesterday in Havana Of cerebral hemor-
rhags.
The case Of the Boliinger boy. the first
one that became known. was one of the
most widely discussed matters Of the
das and columns OF space were devoted
to discussion as to whether DR.. Haisel-
den had acted wisely or had done some
thing that It was hib duty as q physician
not TO do. The child was the son Of
Allen and Anna Bollinger OF Chicago.
and was born in q hospital in that city
in the latter part Of November, 1913. 4.
Mother Approves His stand. +
DR.. Haiselden decided that II II lived
II would be q hepless cripple and prob
ably an idiot. The brain, he said, was
subnormal. the cranial nerves were alb
sent or undeveloped. there was no ear
on one side and the other was malformed.
l. had no neck and there were deformi-
ties Of the chest and nose. The thing
which caused death. however. was an OBJ
struction Of the Intestinal passage which
could have been remedied by ans opera
ton. This operation DR.. Haisclden re-
fused to perform on the ground that
nature will make blank her mistake"
Many say life 10 life and should be
preserved. but can't see the argument"
he said. I'm the vast debt which would
accrue In institutions were this argu-
ment followed. II, having been given
this case to decide, should allow the
child to live I would consider myself
guilty against the human race"
The mother. also, who never saw her
child, said that she had given the physi-
ciar permission to let the baby die. II
to die. Dying now 10 better than liv-
ing with q crippled brain and body"
The publication Of the facts caused o
tremendous TODD In Chicago, but with
few exceptions most OF those who COM
mented said they believed Haiselden was
right. Tho Ant-Cruelty League and the
Illinois Humane Society backed hts posi-
ton The baby died nve days after its
birth, and DR.. Haiselden was tried before
a coroner's jury Of six physicians and six
surgeons, who acquitted him Of any
wrongdoing. but said that In similar
cases there should be q consultation Of
left to one man.
1t was announced later that DR.. Hat
selden was coming to New York to see
the baby Of Mrs. Joseph e. Roberts,
which had similar defect to that which
caused the death Of the Boilinger baby.
but DR.. Haiseiden took no part In this
case. The Roberts baby finally died
after II had been the subject Of consulta-
ton among some of the most prominent
baby doctors Of the city.

In December. 1918. DR.. Haisslden let
another baby, which was paralyzed In

Mace began his battle with Boz
IraVers on the Thames. England. The
famous gypsy warrior was then at the
beginning Of his career. His op-
ponent was one Of the best known
negro boxers OF that period, and had
made a good record in many big bat
ties. The fight was for $500 a side
and a big crowd Of fight fans accom-
panied the warriors to the scene of
the contest. The fight had scarcely
commenced when the authorities put
a stop to it and an adjournment was
taken 10 another county where the
battle was resumed the following
day. Even here difficulties were ex-
perienced, and the ring had to be
moved from one place to another be-
fore the men could finally settle down
and fight IL out The black man made
a good showing in the early rounds,
but his blows seemed to have little ef-
feet on the gypsy, and after 81
rounds had ben fought in 81 minutes.
the colOred man got discouraged and
just naturally hunted a soft place and
pumped himself down on it without
a blow being struck Bob's hackers
begged him 10 get u. but the black
was obdurate. and insisted that he
had had enough fighting for one day.
This fight greatly improved Jem's
reputation. and a little later he took
on Bob Brettle and wiped out the
stain OF defeat in an earlier contest
with that redoubtable warrior.
