BLAMELESSIN
BABY DEATH
coroner's Jury Decides Lor-
raine Mothershead Would
Have Died Anyway.

Baby Lorraine Mothershead, 72S
Four and a Half street southwest,
who died early Thursday morning
following two unsuccessful attempts
by her mother to place it in Emer-
gency and Children's Hospitals,
could not have been saved had she
had more prompt medical attention.
This, in substance. is the verdict of
a coroner's jury rendered at the
morgue shortly after noon today, fol-
lowing an inquest held over the
baby's body.
The jury expressed the belief that
the baby died of pneumonia and
whooping cough and the fact that
her mother carried her around for
two hours in a police patrol
,ians refusal to give her at
tIon, according to the jury, did
not figure in the child's death.
Physicians Testify.
Physicians at Emergency Hos
pital. Children's Hospital and Gar
field Hospital. where the Mothers
head baby was taken, together
with James r. Mayes, superintend-
emf of Garfield Hospital, gave the
principal testimony.
DR., H. F. Hoffman, who testified
on behalf of Emergency Hospital,
said that when the baby left Elmer
gency it was with the understanding
that Children's Hospital would take
care of it. He explained that the
Emergency Hospital is not equipped
to take care of contagious disease
cases.
Says Ward Was Closed.
DIR. Moses Paulson. at Children's
Hospital, told the jury that their
conta gion ward was temporarily
closed and for this reason he dis
matched it to Garfield.
SUPERINTENDENT Mayes, Of Gar
field. maintained that the baby was
given every possible attention, but
in spite of this fact 1t died.
Ali of the doctors denied that the
baby was in a dying condition
when it was brought to their hos
pitals.' - 100 - -

Coast, Oral Hervon Curtiss, formerly
Of Circle, Montana, is now member
of the U. S. Marine guard on the
dreadnaught California, the flagship
Of the Pacific Fleet. His name appears

drops anchor near Los Angeles or
San Francisco.

Taxes Nov. 3Oth
Semi-Annual Law Just Enacted Does
Not Call Tor Early Payments

A new measure, passed at the re-
cent session OF the state legislature,
stipulates that taxes shall be paid
semi-annually in November and May,
hereafter.
Some residents of the county be-
live that the first payment of taxes
for 1923 on real estate becomes due
in May. This is not true. The first
payment for this years taxes coming
due in November and the second pay
ment in May, 1924.
The newly enacted measure pro-
vides:
"All taxes levied and assessed in
the state OF Montana shall be payable
as follows: One-half of the amount
shall be payable ON or before o'clock
OF each year and one-half on or before
p. M on the thirtieth day of November
O'Clock p. m. on the thirty-first day
OF May OF each year; provided, that
unless one-half OF such taxes are paid
on or before, Nov. 80, of each year,
then and in that event, the whole
amount of taxes, so levied and asses
sed, shall become delinquent, and all
delinquent taxes shall draw interest
at the rate Of / per cent per month
from the time they are first delin-
quent until paid All taxes not paid
on or before the 31st day OF May of
each year VIII be delinquent and will
draw interest at the rate Of l per
cent month until paid. A penalty of
8 per cent shall be added to all de-
taxes"
The law provides further that with
in 10 days after receipt of the assess
ment book, the county treasurer must
post notice relative to the semi-an-
nual payments of taxes as provided
above. The law provides for penalty
Of 10 per cent, when no payment is
made in November.
The new semi-annual payment law
1oes not effect personal taxes. Per-
5onal taxes are due as soon as the
assessment list is completed and semi
annual payment of personal taxes is
lot provided for in any Montana law.
