Quarters
FIREMEN PROTEST
ACTION OF BOARD

Members OF the Fame and Della
ware Companies received a Jolt to-
day when they received notices from
the Directors Of Public sofety that
the city did not need their fre head
quarters. Both companies had offered
their buildings to the Department OF
Public Safety for $4,000 each. the
lowest price fixed by any OF the hre
companies for their headquarters.
Members of these two companies
had hoped 10 the last that the city
would purchase their houses. When
the City purchased the Reliance ana
Phoenix Companies headquarters
this week Il was thought that all OF
the fire houses would be taken over
by the city.
II was intimated by the Directors
that the Fame company's building
in Second street. near orange. is In
a street that Is too narrow. This
opinion is not held by the Fame fire.
men who refer 20 the fact that OF
the 1872 box alarms last year, they
responded to 1is. The best time
made by any FIRE company in leav-
ing its house. as shown by tests. was
made by the Fame company, the
time being one and half minutes
With the city rejecting the Fame
quarters, the fremen claim that the
entire section OF Wilmington between
French street. Tatnail street. Front
street and Third street and the water
front. embracing the Bethlehem
plant and lumber yards Is TO be pro-
tected by the FIRE apparatus stationed
al the Washington Company head
quarters. Third and French streets.
or the Weccacoe Company headquar-
ters. second and Jackson streets.
The fremen associated with the
Fame Company today made II plain
they felt they had been discrimin-
ated against. There was some talk
Of petitions being circulated among
the business interests OF that sec
tion protesting against the Directors
OF Public Safety not maintaining a
fire apparatus station in that sec
ton.
Just what reasons we're given by
the directors for not purchasing the
Delaware Fire Company headquar-
ters al Sixth and French streets
could not be learned.
It is expected the directors at their
meeting on Tuesday will name a new
FIRE marshal and other executives OF
the department. II was ruhfored this
morning that Representative Rob

tion OF fire marshal.

SI,OOOLIMIT AS
SURGERY FEE
Johns Hopkins Also Fixes
$35 as Maximum Weekly
Hospital Charge
TAKE STEPS TO
END PROFITEERING

BALTIMORE. July 30 CUnted
Press.)-Johns Hopkins Hospital to-
day was the center OF a controversy
which threatens TO divide the med
ical profession OF the country into
two partisan camps.
In an interview with the United
Press today Judge Henry ID. Harlan.
president Of the Board OF Trustees
OF the hospital, defended the boards
decree setting a maximum fee OF 81
600 that any surgeon connected with
tho institution can charge for an
operation and limiting the charge a
physician can make for hospital SER
vices 10 s35 a week.
The policy OF charging all the
traffc will bear is destroying public
confidence In the physician" said
Harlan. The action OF the trustees
was measured and has the full sup
Fort Of the medical advisory board
Of the hospital. We feel that J
Hopkins should take the lead in
protecting its patients against prom
teering."
Harlan admitted that many emf
nent surgeons holding part time pro-
fessorships IN the medical school
had not yet been heard from. as
most OF them are away on vacations
/. Is the part time surgeons and ply
sicians who use their connection
with Johns Hopkins 10 secure rich
patients who are most likely TO feel
the effect Of the order in reduced in
comes, Harlan said.
Full time professors and their
staffs will not be affected as they re-
ceive fixed salaries from the hos
pital.
"A wealthy patient who has been
charged 5000 for an operation and
$50 a day for medical attention is
a liability 10 the hospital when he
begins talking among his friends. q"
Harlan said.
Don't get the impression that
profteering is more rampant at
Johns Hopkins tina nat other insti-
tutions." commented Harlan. The
ethics Of the Hopkins stan are as
high as those OF any hospital in the
country. We are now getting a
standard for others TO follow"
Not only will the medical council
Of the hospital frown upon fat fees
but they will fix the fees charged
within the limits OF the hospital
| rules, Harlan revealed.
Hereafter a patient al Johns Hop.
kins will be told By the medical
council OF the hospital what his bill
will be.
"Of course there may be cases re.
quiring especially costly treatmen
or delicate surgical skill where tn,
/ physician would be warranted IN
making an extra charge" said Har
Ian. such cases may be laid be
fore the council for decision"
