Special Dispatch to The Star.


BOSTON, April 3.-High standards
Of proficiency maintained at several
Washington hospitals have won these
institutions highest place on the 1881
list of approved and nationally recog-
nized hospitals, following a careful sur
vey of hospitals in the United States,
announced today by the Council of
Medical Education and Hospitals OF the
American Medical Association.
They are the Central Dlspensary and

tai, Freedmen's Hospital. Gallinger Mu-

as accredited by the District Of Column
bia Board Of Nurse Examiners.
The honor award is based on the eff
ficiency Of the Institution and among
the most important factors considered
are the following: A stan Of qualified
physicians who are graduates OF repu-
table medical schools, an able and ethi-
cal management, competent path
ologist to study tissues removed at all
operations, competent nurses, regular
staff conferences 10 study the welfare
of the patients and finally the funda-
mental standard demanded Is that each
approved hospital be . safe. place in
which to be q patient.
To become an accredited school Of
nursing the hospital must be Of good
standing and establish guarantees to
prospective students that it is q suitable
place for young women to enter for Sc
riouS professional training.
Rise In Efficiency Is Goal.
Also the object Of the annual study
is to raise the efficiency of every hos
pital and protect the public by separat-
ing the At from the unfit institutions
and to lessen the time and cost Of hos
pitalixation.
The list contains the names Of 6.7l9
highest standing institutions and omits
entirely $40 hospitals deemed unworthy.
The exclusion Of such hospitals marks
the development Of an aggressive CAM
paign to establish safeguards against
irresponsible hospitals which are men,
ace to the patient. y
To the public the announcement Of
the reorganized hospitals is one Of
greatest interest, since / out of every
10 persons will reed the right kind of
hospital care within year. Although
business and industry were slack in
1880, the total work done by all hos
pitfalls in the United States for the year
showed an increase.

WASHINGTON.-Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's name was linked with testimony involving the grant ing of an oil concession to Colombia to an American concern Immediately after large loan was mace by Amer ican brokers to that country. m
 While the Senate finance commit tee was seeking information from the State Department with which to tie the two transactions together, Repre- sentative Patman, who has moved for the impeachment of Melon, charged that the Secretary infueaced the loan. Testimony before tha Senate committee brought outa statement that the State Department sought to influence American banker to make the loan to Colombia. The committee was told that an oil concession was granted to the South American Pe- trooeum Company, in which the Mel lon-owned Gulf Oil Company is large ly interested, or June 20, 1881. The loan was made ten days after grant, ing of the concession.
 Senator Johnson demanded that State Department documents be placed in the committees hands re- lating to the transaction. State De- partment officials offered to give them to him in confidence, but he re- fused to accept them that way.
 Patman quoted a letter from an unnamed South American saying President Herrarra of Colombia an- nounced publicly that Mellon would assist in credit extension if petroleum difficulties were setted.

That conditions are none too good back in the State of Michigan, as in other States, is made apparent in a letter recently received by Ernie Cove from William Schneirla, former we'll known oldtimer, but now resid- ing at Clinton, Mich. A paragraph from MT. Schneirla's letter reads:
 Cant begin to write you the con- ditions out here. We are supposed to be in one of the richest sections of the United es-economically, ag- riculturally, manufacturing tmostly autos)-and it is sedom we pick up a paper that we don't read of some bank closing. They don't say fail' any more--it's just closing They have gone on all sides of us. In the town five miles south, with popula- hon of 5000, there isn't a bank left. Ton might tell A. X. G. that in his old home town of Bay City all banks but one have closed down; even one of the nationals was thrown in for good measure. For two days the State po lice and city police were herding the depositors that were lined up outside of the remaining bank with rifles. Think of it! And we are supposed to be a nation from which others can take an example. And we aren't at the bottom yet"
