Criticism Of TubsrcuIar Sus-
poets Unwarantsd, Says
Physician.

Charges that thirty-fivs tubercular
patients In st. Eiizabeth's Hospital

denied today By DR.. T. J.. Sullivan. OF
the United States Veterans Bureau.
one Of the officials In charge Of ex-
service patients at the Government
institution.
Complaints were made TO The Times
yesterday that these patients wers
housed in quarters improper for per
sons Of their condition, and were re-
oeiving little medical attention. DR.
Sullivan declares the men are re.
ceiving the best Of attention and that
their quarters are entirely suitable.
II will say this. however. declared
DR.. Sullivan. that these men VIII be
removed from their quarters an soon
a. possible. We need the space they
are occupying and intend TO place
them In other quarters very shortly.
Their removal. however, VIII b made
only because we are cramped Tor
space and not because there are any
conditions to be corrected"
These mon are not tubercuiar pa
tients. They are only suspects. Just
as soon a we are positive that any
OF them are tubercular they win be
immediately removed to other wards"
The physician said he saw no req
son for any complaint. He averred
all of the men were mental patients
and were isolated a far a. humanely
possible. He added that even II they
were not isolated other patients, with
whom they might mingie. would not
be subject to infection.
