Aged Woman Is Taken to

by Mistake

How five smallpox experts made
a wrong diagnosis, causing Mrs.
Amanda Birch, sixty-six, of 645

hardening of the arteries and an
enlarged heart, to be rushed to
the smallpox hospital last Friday
night in horsedrawn and anti
duated a1ibulafice was disclosed
today.
After narrowing experiences OF
several days at both the quar-
antine headquarters and the small
pox hospital, Mrs. Birch was re-
leased from the hospital yester-
-ay and returned to her home.
Charges Not Denied.
Doctor William C. Fowler, Health
Officer, visited Mrs. Birch at the
Smallpox Hospital Sunday night
and expressed the belief that she
was not suffering from the malady.
Charge made by Mrs. Daniel o.
Conway. the Buchanan apartments,
Thirteenth and Buchanan, daughter
of Mrs. Birch, that they came for
her mother last Friday in "creaky
ambulance without a StretCher"
are not denied.
1t is stated that the smallpox
attache on the ambulance went
back for a, stretcher when they were
challenged by children of Mrs.
Birch
When the stretcher came, how
ever, it was contended today by
Mrs. Conway and Mrs. Minnie
Ebert, Gal Fifth street northeast,
another daughter, it was so un-
slightly appearing that it was neces-
sary to lay bed sheets over it.

woman was critically i'll the horse

five days according to the daugh-
ters.
Doctor Fowler said today that
it has been the policy Of the
Health Department to send persons
to the smallpox quarantine station
after competent smallpox special
lists had voiced the belief they were
afflicted. He said that out of all
of the cases which have been
brought to the attention of the de-
partment this season only two
errors had been made.
Old Ambulance Used.
1t is also admitted by DR.. Fowler
that the ambulance used in the
Birch case is "antiquated" and only
to be used in reserve.
Mrs. Conway and Mrs. Ebert
pointed out today that it is ex-
tremely sad that the error should
have been made in the case of their

is such that it is entirely probable
that the episode will react against
her recovery.

Charges that the Associated
General Contractors, now IN ses-
sion in Washington, are acting in
bad faith and are attempting to
break up the army engineer corps
so as to seize control themselves
of profitable Government con-
struction work were made today
by Lieutenant Colonel G. O. Sher-

sion.
The charges of the contractors
that the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission, of which
President Coolidge is a member,
is violating the law so as to keep
private contractors from sharing
in the bridge construction were
characterized by Colonel Sheriff.
as malicious and absolutely
false"
Long Feud Cited.
1.-THE Associated General Con-
tractors have for years been at
tacking viciously the corps of
engineers and it's administration of
public improvement projects for no
other reason than that they wish
to have a free hand in Government
construction at prices dictated by
them," Colonel Sheriff. said.
This matter was thoroughly
thrashed out by the Congressional
committee on reorganization last
year and against the strenuous and
concerted efforts of the Associated
General Contractors Association,
the reorganization committee re-
jected all of their pleas for the
creation of a Department Of Public
Works, which would give them the
absolute control of construction, for
which they are clamoring."
Colonel Sheriff. has copies of cor
respondence between himself and
the Associated General Contractors,
which he claims prove con
clusively that the charges made by
the contractors are absolutely
false"
Was to Call for Bids.
In response to a letter from
George 3. Walbridge. president Of
the contractors association. Colonel
Sheriff. on April H. last, informed
the association that itA was his
intention 10 advertise for bids
for the principal parts of the work
as the plans may be ready from
time to time"
"In order to allow the best ar
rangement for bidding" Colonel
Sheriff. wrote, 1T is tentatively
thought advisable not to let the
work for the entire bridge project
as a whole. but to advertise it in
sections such, for instance. as the
piers. cut stone, the superstructure,
the bascuIe draw span and 80
forth"
1.-The contractors charged that it
is the intention of the bridge com.
mission to have the work done by
army engineers despite this letter
directly TO the contrary, which they
received more than a month ago"
Colonel Sheriff. said.
The contractors also accused the
bridge commission, under President
Coolidge, OF violating the law Of
Congress in authorizing the bridge
construction by letting out the
work to the army engineer corps
This authority the commission has,
Colonel Sheriff. said, should it
choose to exercise 1t, by reason of
tn bridge law, which. directs that
the construction shall be prose
cuted to completion by contracts or
otherwise.
