FIRE MENACES

Quick Work by Bremen Prevents Serious Blaze
 in Vim Building

Fire this morning, starting in Bing's Cafe in the Vim Building, Second and Seward Streets, men, aced that structure and nearby buildings. Quick and effective work by the Fire Department held the flames in one corner of the building and limited the damage to a small sum, probably not in excess of $500.
 The fire started from large coal range in the cafe kitchen. The blaze ran up the wall through the ceiling and into a room above but it was put under control be- fore it could spread to other sec tions of the place or to the Valen- tine Building adjoining.
 Both trucks were called and sev- eral streams of water were playing on the fire and threatened build ings in record time. Damage to the other occupants of the build ing was limited to water in a few housekeeping rooms upstairs and small quantity of water in Sal oum's Shoe Shop on the ground floor.
 The building, one of the earliest erected in the community and for merly known as the Opera House, is owned by Mrs Anna Vim. All of the first floor is occupied by business firms and individual and housekeeping rooms fill the entire sacOnd floor

Advised Operation

At the time, defendant doctor
was the family physician, and was
called to treat use plaintiff. He
is not a surgeon but a general
practitioner, and when his dag
nosis disclosed that use plaintiff
was suffering from empyema, he
advised a surgical operation. This
operation was performed by,
assisted by, at-Hospital, on the
fourth day of December, 1923. For
the purpose of establishing drain
age of the fluid from the pleural
cavity, the surgeon caused two
pieces of rubber tubing to be in
serted into the opening. The top
end of each of these tubes was
secured by means of safety pin
to prevent the tubes from slipping
or dropping into the cavity.
The use plaintiff remained in the
hospital until the 23d day of De-
cember, 1928, when he was re-
moved to his home. During the
time that he was in the hospital
there was considerable discharge
and drainage from the cavity.
and this required frequent change
of dressings and irrigations. This
treatment was administered by
hospital attendants, and, on &C.
casions, by one of the doctors.
Shortly before use plaintiff left
the hospital one of the drainage
tubes was removed. The drainage
and discharge continued, and de-
tendant doctor attended and
treated use plaintiff after his re-
moVal from the hospital. His
treatment may be characterized
as post-operative treatment, and
was similar to that given at the
hospital, and consisted generally
in cleaning and redressing the
wound, irrigating the cavity and,
up until the Sd day of January,
1929, in removing. shortening and
replacing the rubber drainage
tube. This tube was finally re.
moved by defendant doctor on the
Sd day of January, 1929.

BANKS
RIVAL RFC

Railroad financing rivalry has
developed between private bank
ers and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, it was dis
closed last night.
The RFC holds the upper hand
thus far through its ability to
make huge loans at low interest
rates. But the bankers may meet
them with still lower or al least
equal rates.
The RIGS railroad loan policy
was revealed with information
that the Baltimore & Ohio had
been offered a $17,500,0O0 RFC
loan at S per cent. to meet matur-
tiles and a three to five-ytar ex-
tension on a $25, 100000 RFC note
due August 10.
Earlier, RFC Chairman Jesse H.
Jones said, the roads bankers
sought to extend the loans at 51a
per cent interest.
There were no indications last
night the bankers would meet the
RIGS offer and RFC was expected
to proceed with the financing.
Jones intimated the loan extern.
sion embraces a new policy under
which interest on railroad and
other industrial loans will be
forced down.
He said RFC has received 500
applications from all sections of
the country for industrial loans.

X-Ray Picture Cited

On the 22d day of January, 1929.
and, according to the testimony of
use plaintiff, this was the next day
after the incident, defendant doc
tor again referred use plaintiff to
the operating surgeon, and an x
ray picture was made of use plain
tiff's chest to determine the cause
of his condition. Therefore, if as
matter of fact defendant doctor
suspected or believed that the tube
had found its way into the cavity,
what better means could he have
adopted to make certain tn a n
this X-ray examination?
The X-ray picture failed to dis
close the presence of rubber tube
or safety pin in the pleural cavity,
but rev called dense opacity,
which obscured the left lung from
the level of the fourth rib to the
diaphragm, composed of both
pleural fluid and pulmonary infil-
tration. Defendant doctor stated
that in view of the X-ray disclos-
ures land our knowledge of the
history of the case, we found that
the failure of the sinus to close
was due to an abcess." Drs. -
and - on this occasion did not
advise a further operation.
The standard of care and skill
which defendant doctor was re-
quired to exercise was the care and
skill of the ordinary careful and
skillful practitioner in the District
OF Columbia, engaged in the gen.
eral practice of medicine, and ad-
ministering the same treatment
with due consideration for modern
advancement and learning in the
science of medicine.
DR.. -, who assisted DR..
at the operation at - Hospital,
and testifying as a witness for the
use plaintiff said: II know of
nothing else that defendant doc
tor might have done to determine
the cause of use plaintiffs condi-
ton, except to refer him back to
DR.. - and have the X-ray ex-
animation" Rec. PIP. 1O-11.
Therefore, viewed in it's most
favorable light. the testimony of
the use plaintiff wholly fails to
make out the case of negligence
alleged in the declaration, and,
therefore. the motion for a new
trial must be sustained.

HALF Of LOANS
BY RESERVE
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Carrying out an agreement with
the Federal Reserve banks. the
Treasury will furnish half of the
$3.50, 000,000 to be loaned to in
dustry by these institutions, Sec
rotary Morgenthau said today.
This money will be furnished as
needed. An initial $10,000,000 al
ready has been authorized to the
banks by the Treasury. When this
and an equal amount has been
loaned by the reserve banks, ap-
plication will be received for an
other $10,000.000 Morgenthau ex-
planned.
Agree to Cooperate
Morgenthau agreed that the
RFC and the Federal Reserve
Banks should work in close CO.
operation in making loans to in
dustry. He pointed out that in
terest rates and other terms of
the loans by the two agencies
should be the same.
Jesse H. Jones, chairman Of the
RFC, also held that the corpora
ton and the reserve banks should
work close together in bringing
aid to MISUNDERSTANDING small
industry-which the Government
particularly seeks to assist.
Machinery Ready
Initial loans will be made by
the reserve banks soon. A report
to Eugene r. Black, governor Of
the Reserve Board, showed that
the banks had set up their ma
chinery for the direct loans and
we're prepared to receive applica-
tons from industry at once.
Committees of industrialists will
be set up in each of the Federal
Reserve districts to cooperate with
the bank boards in the authorize
ton of loans, which like the RFC
loans must be "fully and ade-
quately secured"
RFC Sas Started
The RFC already is making d.
rect loans to industry although
so far not in large amounts.
Legislation permitting these
loan authorizations were enacted
for the benefit principally Of
small industry because of the
higher overhead costs resulting
from application of the NRA
codes.

Tube Left in Wound

The use plaintiff failed to re.
spond to this treatment and the
drainage and discharge continued,
Whereupon he submitted to an
operation by another surgeon on
the I'd day of August, 1929. This
surgeon in exploring the pleural
cavity recovered a foreign sub.
stance, which he describes as a
piece Of fabric covered tubing,
having the appearance of a gas
fixture. He inserted a rubber tube
with perforationS for the purpose
OF drainage. Use plaintiff re.
NAMED in this hospital for ap.
proximately two weeks. The sur
geon later removed the tube in
serted by him.
Defendant doctor had no part
in the operation at this hospital
nor with the after treatment. AS
a matter Of fact he did not cause
use plaintiff to enter this hospital
The drainage and discharge
continued, and, on the goth day
OF OCTOBER, 1881, use plaintiff sub
mitted to a third operation in an
endeavor to be cured. This op-
Grafton was performed by a third
surgeon, and he recovered from
the pleural cavity two foreign
substances, which he describes as
two pieces of red rubber tubing,
one Of which was three centime-
tiers in length and the other one
a nd one half centimeters in
length.
Use plaintiff failed to recover
after this third operation, and the
third surgeon performed another
and the fourth operation on use
plaintiff, on the ninth day of
March, 1888. At this operation he
laid open the sinus and curreted
and removed a small era of dead
bone. After this operation the
drainage and discharge ceased
and the wound healed.
The jury returned a verdict in
favor Of the plaintiffs and against
