CHEST T0 RECEIVE | HOSPITAL DEFENSE Hospital Heads to Uphold Re- fusal of Child Cases at Budget Session. The report of the secret meeting of hospital superintendents, in which they vindicated their institutions in the handling recently of two dying chil- dren, will be placed before the Budget Committee of the Community iChest, Acting Director Herbert L. Willett, jr., announced last night. Announcement that the hospital executives, who organiz:d as an inves- tigating committee, had cleared them- selves of blame in the cades was made vesterday by the Ccuncil of Social Agencies, “After carefyl consideration,”. the council's statement said, “it is thc opinion of the committee that prompt and adequate treatment was aaminis- tered in each case immediately upon its being brought to the hospital. “At the same time, from the facts brought out in the cases of Samuel Goddett (9) and Eva Mae Dixon (5), the committee is convinced that the subsequent transfer of these cases to another hospital in no way affected the eventuality in either case.” Contagion Feared. The Goddett child died of blood pois- oning at Gallinger Hospital after being | denied admission to Emergency and Children’s. The Dixon girl died of burns at Children’s Hospital, where she was taken after first being_transferred from Sibley to Garfield. In both in- stances the explanation of the hospital authorities was that the internes who examined the children suspected con- tagious disease. A hospital's first duty is to the “pa- tients within its walls,” according to tha statement of the council. “When a citi- zen is accepted as a patient in the hos- | pital that is the guarantee he wants | and has the right to expect. No hos- pital has the right to jeopardize this guarantee by the admission of con- taglous diseases, for the care of which it does not have full and adequate facilities.” The Chest's Budget Committee will begin next week its conferences re- garding agency budgets for 1932, ac- cording to Willett. He said “the Chest, ‘which is the business office operating. on behalf of the member agencies, has no administrative jurisdiction in the hospitals, whose personnel and policies are determined and controlled by the board of directors of each institution. Third Case Investigated. In reply to a question in an editorial | in The Star as to what parents should do in event their child was suddenly stricken ill or the victim of an acci- dent, the statement said: “Call a phy- sician.” “He can determine whether the child is in condition to be moved. If hos- pitilization is necessary he can tell you Wwhich hospital is equipped to give the care and treatment necessary. There are 1,200 physicians listed in the City Directory. Besides the Goddett and Dixon cases the committee of superintendents con- sidered the case of Catherine Zanelotti, 3. who was turned away from Chil- dren’s and Gallinger, where she was taken by her parents early last Mon- day morning after she had suddenly be- come ill. She later received treatment from a private physician and recovered. ‘The committee was composed of Dr. S. B. Ragsdale, chairman of the Com- mittee on Hospital Administration and superintendent of Columbia Hospital, who acted as chairman; Dr. Francis J. Eisenman of Garfield Hospital, Dr. R. F. Tobin of the Board of Public Wel- fare, Mr. B. B. Sandidge of Emergen- cy Hospital, Dr. Charles Cole of Sibley Hospital, Miss M. M. Gibson of Chil- dren’s Hospital, Mr, George S. Wilson, director of the Board of Public Wel- fare;: Mr. H. C. Willett, jr., of the Community Chest; Dr. W. W. Eldridge, president of the District of Columbia Hospital Executives’ Association; Mr. Frederick W. McReynolds, a member of the Board of Public Welfare; Miss Gertrude H. Bowling, chairman of the Health Committee of the council, and Mrs. W. A. Roberts, executive secretary of the council. | | | !

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, October 17.—The al- ready fabulous wealth of Mrs. Ida E. ‘Wood, 93-year-old recluse, in whose room $900,000 in cash and securities was found, grew today as jewel, lace and silk experts inventoried the con- tents of her forty-odd trunks. ‘The appraisers completed their ex- amination of only five trunks, said Harold Wentworth, an attorney. All contained relics of the days when Mrs ‘Wood was a belle of New York soclety and a dancing partner of King Ed- ward VII, then Prince of Wales. ‘The Astor Audit and Appraisal Cor- poration, trying to fix the present value of the gowns, necklaces, watches, brace- lets, tiaras and other gem-incrusted pieces, said the items might be worth “up to $1,000,000.” ‘The appraisal disclosed that the many $1,000, $5000 and $10,000 gold certificates, dating back almost to Civil ‘War times, which were found in her clothing would go begging for & market among numismatists. “There are only two collectors of old money in the United States,” Went- worth said, “who are able to deal in such valuable relics. The experts got in touch with them and found that, although the bank notes were in per- condition and unquestionably should have a high premium value, their purchase at this time was not practicable.” The fate of the large collection of apparel remained uncertain, Went- worth sald. Otis F. Wood, the woman's nephew and guardian, sald he favored * | being strongly supplemented by a sus- | assembling it, with the best of the :mlque Jewelry, in & museum collec- jon.” “In that case,” he added, “we shall not disclose its whole value for ob- vious reasons.” Mrs. Wood has not been informed of the inventory of her effects, lawyers sald. She furnished the address of a storage warehouse; however, in which all of her known property was located without difficulty. As each trunk was reached by the examiners, it was removed to the Har- riman National Bank, and the most valuable of the contents were placed in safety vaults. It will require weeks, the experts said, to fix definitely the worth of the jewelry. There is one diamond necklace with gems grading from eight down to one and one-half carats which Mrs. Wood wore at the famous Empress Eugenie ball in Madison Square Garden. Some of the gems—diamonds, rubles and emeralds—had been taken from their settings, wrapped in bits of paper and lain untouched for years in Mrs. Wood's bureau. The examiners said the pleces would be reconstructed. Many of the old laces found in the trunks were designed especially for Mrs. Wood in European lace making centers.
