JLEY HELPSPLAN - OR NURSES' HOME rites Letter to D. C. House : :Committee Urging Pro- vision for Ifroject( S'}YS IT WOULD AID WORK Thberculosis Hospital Staff Should Have Separate Quarters, He Declares. L. Harvey W. Wiley. vice president ©f the Tuberculosis Association and director of its leglslative committee. has Sust addressed a letter to the Di: trict committee of the House urging 1he adoption of the item in the ap- pfopriation bill for the District which would authorize the erection of a nurres’ home at the Tuberculosis Hospital Dr. Wiley says: “The associa- tion which 1 rep- resent most heartily ap- proves of this item of the 3 budget. and the cammittee on legislation of the cidtion, of which I am ¢l unanimously this propose provision. 1 trust the committee will give this item its careful and favor- able consideration. 1 shall be glad to 2?[)(.’11" before your committee person: afiy at any time that would sult its cquvenience he need for this provision has long heen urged by the board of charities, which says on this subject in its 1922 report: “As we have heretofore nointed out. this would relleve the congestion at the hospital as well as plovide a suitable place for the nurdes and staff to live. The space now oc cupled by the staff would be made available for patients. It hardly seems necessary to argue the impor- tance of the separate building for the nyrses and staff. It Is such an evi- dent and inexcusable hardship to re: «uire these people to live in the same building occupled by the patients. Advantage of Home. A very distinct advantage of the nurses’ home, in the opinfon of the s Assoclation. is that it able the authorities of the hospital to classify their patients in a more thorough way than is now possible under the opén ward svstem which prevails at the institution. The rooms occupled by the staff could hen be given to patients who needed greater privacy than the open wards afford. It will aiso enable the hos- pital authorities to receive full pay or part pay patients. The Commis- sioners have requested this authority, but it has so far been denied. Whatever adds to the attractiveness and facilities at the hospital 1s an advantage to the entire communit: because every patient who goes th net only benefits himself, but thereby protects his own family and children from the danger of infection in the home and the community at large. Everything should be done, therefore, to make the patient comfortable at the hospital by giving him wholesome food, prepared in an appetizing man- or. offering him diversion ang the véry best medical attention. together with suf nt privacy to make him feel th s not “Iinstitutionalized. Ore of the great needs, which has already been pointed out during the Christmas seal sale, is for betier recreation facilities at the hospital. At present the patients use the din- ing room out of hours or the cor- yiflors. and even the washrooms, for jack of better meeting places. By freeing the fourteen or sixteen rooms at the hospital now occupied by the Staff it would make possible the set- ting aside of more and more of these rooms as reading and lounging rooms, samething greatly needed. The occupational therapy workers whem the Tuberculosis Assoctation are supplying to the hospital for the { purpose of demonstrating the value of vocational work to the patients feel the necd of this recreational di- version. Upon their recommend:tion the Tuberculosis Association has re- cently appropriated funds with which to equip a temporaty bullding as a reading room and lounging room until such time as an appropriation is mad either for the construction of nurses’ home, which will_enable the superintendent, Dr. J. WglPeabody. to provide recreation rooms within the hospitdl building. or until a sepa- rate appropriation is made for a recreational hall. BID CHIEF FAREWELL.

Haynes. national prohibition {commissioner, in an address at the annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League of the District of Columbia in the Columbla Helghts Christian Church last night.

Wheeler of the Anti- Saloon League of America spoke on the necessity of law enforcement. He urged that all prohibition enforce- ment agents be made to pass civil service examinations and not be al- lowed to get in office and stay there through “‘pull.” Rev. Eugene A. Hannan gave a briet talk on the mental and physical | setbacks brought @bout by alconolic lllquom President Harding Com: ed. Resolutions were passed commend- ing President Harding for his recent declaration against the violators of the prohibition amendment and the calling into conference the govern- ors of the different states to decide upon methods to better enforce the law. The local police and District Commissioners were commended for the work done by them in seeing that the law is obeyed. Mr. Wheeler also was commended for his active work for the cause. The accepting by the poiice of col- lateral forfeitures from violators was condemned in a resolution which stated that in this way the law breakers avolded appearing in court, thus keeping them from being charged with a seeond offense, upon later arrests for the same violations. Reports were read which gave figures showing the percentage in the reduc- tion of crime in various sections since the prohibition law was enacted. The following officers were elected.

DESCRIBE DEATH “MARC Actoal Shootings Have Not Been Proved Aguinst Ac- - cused Men. MARION, December 16.—Attorneys for, both state and defense in the trial of five men charged with murder in connection with the Herrin riop of last June today predicted the & of the trial by the middle of January. Previous estimate was that the trial would continue two months. During the first three days of the trial testimony has been given by more than a score of state’s witnesses. During the Saturday gnd Sunday re- cess that Wwas taken last night the attorneys sald they would go over thelr list of witnesses in ‘the hope of materially reducing them. So far the state's witnesses have peinted to four of the five defendants s having been seen with guns ln their hands during -the riots, but all have united in the declaration that they were unable to idéntify any of those as participants in the shooting. May Offer All The defense has not made clear its case except for the declaration of A. W. Kerr, chief counsel for the accused men, that it would prove an alibi for all of the defendants. Frank Farrington, head of the Il nols mine workers. who has been a spectator at the trial, issued a state- ment saying that the union -would defend every miner indicted in con- nection with the riot. The attack on the Herrin “strip’ mine, the death march through the town with the captives and the hunt- ing down of a few fugitives was de. scribed yesterday by witnesses at the trial of five men held in connection with the killings. All but one of the defendants were named as having been seen with a gun during the progress of the riot- ing, but all the witnesses so far heard have declared that they could not identify any persons they had seen in the act of shooting at the victims. In an argument between opposing counsel regarding the exclugion of a portion of the testimony to which the defense objected, Judge D. T. Hartwell, ruling in favor of the prosecution, said: “I want the whole thing to come out and I do not want to exclude any testimony on a mere technlicality.” News Writer on Stand. Donald M. Ewing. a Chicago news- paper man, who wrote the first ac- count of the killings for the Asso- clated Press, picked out Bert Grace from amfong the defendants as & man who had threatened him with & gun when he attempted to bring a drink of water to two injured men who were lying on & sun-baked road, sur- rounded by a crowd of armed men, Just outside of Herrin. The witness said there were six dead or wounded men lving in the road, all of them bound together by a single rope tied about their necks. ‘Grace put his foot on one of the wounded men and pushed,” the wit. ness declared, and quoted the defen- dant as saying. with a corse: “You'll get no water here. Another “witness, Henry Graves, a mine pump man, said he had seen group of armed men chasing two fugi- tives through the fields near his house. “I heard the sound of shots,” he testi- fled. “and could see the bullets kicking up_the dust behind the fleeing men.” Shortly ufterward, he said, a wounded man had taken refuge on his rear porch, but two men who said they were “offi- cers,” came and took him away. Found Four Bodies. Fred Harrison, a student at the Uni- versity of Iilinois, testified that he had seen Bert Grace near his father's farm on the outskirts.of Herrin on the morn- I ing of the riots. Young Harrisen said that he had then taken a walk to a nearbr clump of woods where he found four bodies, one of them hanging frdm a tree. Willlam Goodman, a farmer, testified that he had been near the “strip” mine where ‘the riot started and had seen: several hundred men coming from the mine with thirty or forty prisoners. He éstimated the crowd about the mine 1,500 persons. At the close of the session yesterdiy Judge Hartwell announged an adjourn- ment of court over Saturday and Sunday.
