DR.. H0RGAN WINS
DIRECTED VERDICT
Court Holds Patient Suing for
100000 Has Failed to
Make Case.
BY CHARLES NORMAN.

Justice Peyton Gordon of District
Supreme Court today directed q ver-
dict for Or. Edmund Horgan Of 1726
7 street, sued for 100000 by Mrs.
Ethel Farmer, 371l Baker street,
Mount Rainier. Md, who charges she
was paralyzed as the result Of spinal
anesthetic administered by the physi-
clan.
In asking for . directed verdict,
Charles s.. Baker, attorney for DR..
Horgan, contended there had been no
showing of negligence on the plain
tits condition attributal to the anes-
thetic which was given In q local hos
pital preparatory to an operation
When the trial began last week
Mrs. Palmer was wheeled into court on
a rolling bed to allow her to testify.
Upholding Mr.. Bakers position,
Justice Gordon said: '1The plaintiff has
failed, even though she attempted to
show that her suffering and paralysis
was the result of the operation, let
alone making showing that it was
the result of a negligent handling Of
the operation.
mo medical testimony whatsoever
has been produced to show her con-
dition has resulted from either the
anesthetic or the operation"
Mrs. Palmer's attorneys had con-
tended that Dr. Horgan had no right
to administer q spinal anesthetic
without her permission. Justice Cor
don held. however. that the giving Of
an anesthetic was not o parallel
situation with that Of performing IN
operation. and that the consent Of
the patient. d not necessary.

VAN DUZER BEGINS
new TRAFFIC STUDY
Seeks to Determine Whether
Further Restrictions Are
Necessary

Trafic Director Van Duzer began
q series Of studies today to determine
whether any further trafic restrictions
are necessary to curtail Washingtop's 5
ever mounting highway toll.
Trafic surveys will be made on all
heavily Travelled streets with q view to
ascertaining whether either perma-
nent or temporary one-way thorough
fares would facilitate the movement
of traffic and at the same time reduce
the accident hazard. Counts also will
be made at light-controlled intersec-
tions to learn whether some Of the
signals should be kept In operation all
night.
Van Duzer pointed out that the
large increase in the number OF reg
istered motor vehicles in the District
this year has made necessary the es-
tablishment of 4 number of additional
one way streets. Some Of them, he
said, may be temporary to handle the
rush-hour trafic. while others may be
made permanent.
Tratnc lights are now turned Oh at
- O'Clock midnight. and Van Duscr

reveal the need Of keeping the signals

BUSSESAT CIRCLE
DAMAGE PARKWAY
Gartside Says Patrons Wait.
ing for Vehicles Scat.
ter Debris.

The creation of a new problem in
the use Of Chevy Chase Circle as an
outdoor bus terminal has resulted in
a detriment to park maintenance in
that area, Frank T. Gartside, assistant
superintendent of the National Capital
Parks, declared today. He viewed the
problem Of the bus terminal as one
for the District Commissioners and the
Public Utilities Commission TO solve,
although he said that an added our
den is being thrown on the park Az
thorities by reason Of the new con-
dition.
Persons waiting for the buses throw
newspapers, cigarette butts and other
debris in the vicinity of the circle,
causing the park officials added ex-
pense. This is true not only in the
District, but adjacent Maryland, OH
cials asserted.
Favors Lake Site.
GartSide set 1t down as his private
opinion that the busses should run
on out to Chevy Chase Lake, instead
Of hating as they do now, at the cir
Gle, causing an unsightly condition at
one Of the principal entrances to the
city. The situation is particularly
acute, he said, because of the lack OF
adequate public. comfort facilities
where the busses now halt.
The Chevy Chase, Nd, citizens have
started drive to have the bus terrni-
nal located at Chevy Chase Lake,
where the old street car barn Is 10
Gated. That would permit the devel-
oping Of a new and adequate bus
terminal; remove the present objec-
ton of cluttering up Chevy Chase
Circle with buses and debris, and
provide suitable public comfort con-
veniences, which are now lacking, not
only for the passengers but for the
drivers of the busses, employees Of
the Capital Transit Co., he said.
Company Faces Problem.
With the sentiment of the citizens,
both on the District and Maryland
sides Of Chevy Chase Circle, against
the erection of q bus terminal-tem-
porary or otherwise-in that highly
developed residential section, the COM
pany Is confronted with real prob
lem of making adequate provision now
for terminal facilities, before the cold
and stormy weather sets in, observers
believe.
Plans are in the making for the
calling Of meetings to deal with the
situation, which, it is expected, will
grow steadily worse, as people lay up
their private automobiles for the Win
ter, and bus patrons will be exposed
to the elements, while waiting for
buses to come along. Much oppo-
sition Is heard to the present timing
of the buses, which now lay over at
Chevy Chase Circle, turning this area
into an open air garage and adding
q new trafnc menace to that quarter
of the metropolis.

What's What

In Capital
Sterilization Talk Is
Free, but It's Strictly
Academic.
BY PAUL MALLON.

- ONE people nave been puttlng
- the currency stabilization hopes
of State Secretary Hull to-

willingness Of Treasury Secretary Nor
genthau and arriving at the conclusion
that stabilization Is near.
That Is not the right answer. It is
not even being discussed, except aca-
demically. That is why Hull and Nor
genthau can afford to be so free in
their pious public expressions.
Their financial advisers haze told
them 1t is impossible, and that the
developments in Europe lately hare
made 1t epen more impossible. In
fact. the real inside trend OF
thought lately has been far beyond
such orthodox procedure. There
has been q reuiual OF inner interest
tn the possibilities OF "an inter-
national currency other than gold"
and in the forgotten ideal of the
New Deal, the commodity dollar.
These are not to be taken very seri-
ously either as yet. except as they re-
fleet the remoteness Of the old-fash-
ioned ideas Of stabilization in the New
Deal mind.
The commodity dollar theory Is, of
course, considered out Of the interna-
tional question by the money policy

to the conclusion now that 1t might
work all right If trade balances could

have some form Of international money
to pay for the excess of purchases over

Dog Cat Fight Nearer.
The inefficiency of gold as method
of payment is being considered, in
view of the fact that the stability of
the dollar is draining gold from the
rest of the world, and probably will
continue to do so. The question Is
what the rest of the world will use for
international payments when its gold
is gone.
You may suspect this would en-
courage the other nations to be drawn
into some stabilization arrangement.
The reverse is true. Their gold weak
ness would place them at disadvan-
tage in any gold stabilization nego-
tiations.

Members Of Congress have been
slipping back into town, one by one,
lately. 1t seems that many of those
who went home after the close Of the
session were besieged from morning
until night by job seekers, relief call
ers, etc.

Travelled 1000 miles to his home, re-

Hull Drops Dignity.
The dignity Of the State Depart
ment is never forgotten and rarely
lost, but Mr.. Hull dropped it on the
floor the other day and almost shat
tered it.
Hull was attending one of those
buffet luncheons of the Pan-American
Union. Latin American diplomats
were thicker than at q Rio fiesta. They
all forgot him in the rush for food,
all of them standing in corner. Jug
Cling plate of lamb stew. He got
along decorously until his fork slipped,
unobserved. to the floor. Stiff and
starched, in a morning coat, he tried
to reach for it with one hand, while
holding the stew in the other. His
foot kicked it and he chased it, only
to have the same deplorable thing
happen again. He could not eat with
his fingers, nor could he get down on
his hands and knees and corner the
fork.
The last shred of his dignity soas
saped by sympathetic neiDsnaan
1Uho rescued the fork and enabled
Mr.. Hull to resume his luncheon
before the returning diplomats
caught him playing enchanted
leap-frog tuith himselt.
Another case of bad addition lately
was the r,rmored assumption that
President Roosevelt was rushing back
to Washington because he planned to
disembark at q Florida or South
Carolina port. The fact Is Mr.. Roose-
velt told newsmen on the record at
Hyde Park before he left that he
intended to curtau his trip exactly
that way.

Ashe Scion Gives Statement to Daily
Papers of Possible Plans
for Year 1888

Tam C. Bowie, Ashe county repre-
sentative in the General Assembly,
has announced his possible plans for
the year 1888 in opposing the junior
North Carolina representative in the
Senate of the United States, Robert
Rice Reynolds. The announcement
was made last week by the newspa-

red with Mr.. Bowie.
While Senator Reynolds still has
many staunch supporters in the
state, the anti Morrison spirit that
swept him into office with an over
whelming majority two years ago,
has visibly cooled.
Judge Bowie makes his announce
ment with the reservation that he
does not know what the future will
bring forth, but that this is the trend
of his thoughts at present.

$4,88O,0OO,0O0 TO BE SPENT TO
PUT 100000 MEN TO WORK
President Signs Long Delayed Work
Bill in Effort to End
Depression

A few strokes of President Roose-
velt's pen on the $4,880, 100000 work
relief bill Monday set in motion use
of history's largest lump sum appro-
priation to put 3,50O,0OO men to work
and end the depression.
The bill was sent to Jacksonville,
Fla, by courier after being enacted
by congress in a 75-day battle. Mr..
Roosevelt signed it as he sped north
ward, refreshed and rested from his
fishing trip in Caribbean waters, to
attend the funeral of his cousin, War
rem Delano Robbins, in New York.
Robbins, minister to Canada, died
! Sunday of pneumonia.
Immediately after signing the bill,
the President signed two ALLEGATIONS
from the amount appropriated under
the new law.
The first allocated $125,O00,0O0 to
the administrator of the Federal
Emergency Relief administration, in
order that relief may not stop.
The long delay in the senate has
made necessary the trasfer of many
millions of dollars previously allo-
Gated to highly useful permanent
projects to immediate emergency re-
lief work, the President indicated.
| This money came from the recovery
act appropriation of 1888. Many Of
the projects which have been Cancelled
because of this cannot now be con-
tinued under the terms of the new
law.
The second ALLEGATION under the
new law for $3O,0O0,O00 is a continu-
alton of the emergency conservation
work, the maintenance of the Civilian
Conservation corps camps, also $842,-
900 for continuation of conservation
and other work on tribal or other In
dian reservation lands.
On his return to Washington the
President is expected to make public
detailed plans for putting the huge
fund into operation. Mr.. Roosevelt
himself will direct the spending, and
indications are that three officials
will divide the task of actual admin
istration-PWA Administrator Har-
old L. Ickes, Under Secretary of
Agriculture Rexford G. Tugwell, and
Relief Administrator Harry L. Hop

THREE YEAR-OLD CHILD OF
w. E., MORETZ DROWNED
Child Missing for Over Hour Found
Lodged in Brush at Mouth of
New River, Dead

The three-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Moretz was found
drowned last Wednesday afternoon at
the mouth of the river near Todd.
Exact circumstances of the child's
death were not known.
She was last seen playing on the
bridge across a creek directly in front
of Cyrus Howell's home. Some other
children, according to report, were
with her. About thirty minutes later,
she was missing, and about an hour
and half later, her body was found.
It had been washed some hundred
feet downstream and lodged in brush
at the mouth of the river /. It is
thought that she must have fallen in
while the other children were not
on the bridge, or they would have
given the alarm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morets have only
one other child, daughter.

MEMORIAL TO LATE REV.
w. r. SAVAGE TO BE SOUGHT

Flowers from the garden of the
late beloved w. r. Savage will be sold
from the Episcopal Mission House at
Glendale Springs during the spring
and early summer in order to raise
funds for the erection of bronze
tablet in honor of the man who was
known throughout the county as
lover of flowers.
This offer is made through Miss
Florence Basom, who is living at the
Mission House. She will sell roots and
plants of roses, lilacs, phlox, Scotch
broom, and many other flowers that
should add an attractive bit to the
yard or flower garden. It has been
suggested that this will also give the
friends of Mr.. Savage a chance to
have a memory spot for him growing
in their own gardens. Those interest
ed are invited to drive out to the
Mission House and see Miss Bason.
