Chamley, Specialist, Is Responsible. for Death of Mrs. Nevin. “We find that Mrs. Katherine Nevin came to her death at 25 Third street on | February 8 from hemorrhage from an operative wound in the right breast through lack of knowledge of the at- tending physician, Dr. 8. R. Chamley, and further hold him responsible for her death. “We further recommend to the Board of Medical Examiners of the city and ty of San Franeisco that the license jof said I R. Chamley be revoked for | falsely certifying to the Board of Health | 28 t0 the cause of death.” Thie is the verdict of the Coroner's jury called vesterday to investigate the | @eath of a patient under the knife.

The doctor who operates can- not direct his knife among the delicate nerves and arteries uniess he has a crude chart in the back of a notebook before his eyes. Rooms are let to lodgers by the night the minute that the cancer patients have yacated the beds. 'SUSPICIONS AROUSED. It was the statement that all was not right in his wife's death made by J. M. Nev befo! the Coroner on Monday which aroused the officia suspicion and ted in his discovery of the fact that rough a falsely stated death certificate il‘r Chamley was endeavoring to gloss | over a death which had occurred as the esult of his surgery. The certificate, | which should have read: "“Death by hemorrhage, due to operative wound,” s mildly worded in the terms of death by the cancer specialist which brought about simple cancer. It was this move of | his exposure. Over a vear ago, according to J. M | Nevin, the husband of the dead woman nd the first to testify, his wife developed a cancer on he and came from her home at Wells, Nev., to be tréated Dr. Chamjey's establishment on Third street. The head the establishment being absent, his assistant, C. B. Waller, treated her with such seeming success at she returned to her home. A few weeks ago Dr. Chamley por- tuned her for a testimonial setting forth at the benefits of h marvelous cure. She | replied that she was worse than ever, and notwithstanding the objectionsg of her husband, returned to submit herself again, this time to the master hgnd of the head of the establishment. She was dead within a week Dr. Charles Waller, the next witness, declared with much vehemence that he repudiated the whole establishment with which it had been his misfortune to be at one time connected. Within a year fter he had graduated from the, Eclectic Sehool in 1300 he had been made head operator in the hospital of the cancer specialist and as such had treated Mrs. Nevin for her disease. Dr. Waller then volunteered a stab at the cancer sani- tarium. He sald: SHOCKING EXPOSE. “I would not stay in the place. did pnot know anatomy; he read no literature on his subject. His so-called hospital is simply a rooming-house, where ley s | roams not occupied by cancer patients | are rented out to lodgers and any one ! may sleep in a bed where a cancer pa- tient died the night before.” “What provision does +Dr. Chamley make for his patients?’ asked Coroner Leland. “He makes no provisions. There is only one nurse and she goes to bed at 8 o'clock every evening. When she retires the patients are locked in their rooms. There are no electric bells whereby the nurse might be summoned Mrs. Marian Lester, the nurse, corrobo- rated, though unwillingly, the testimony of the former assistant. She said that they never kept records of a patient’s pulse and temperature. She could not tell by the pulse whether a patient had a hemorrhage; she would have to see the blood trickle to know. She said that she never trained in a hospital. All she knew of nursing was by experience. Miss Ruby Grunell, an assistant of Dr. Chamley’s, gave the startling testimons that eral years ago a woman died of bemorrhage because no one was near her to stop it. It was after the nurse had retired Dr. Chamley, wearing a Transvaal gem as large 2s a 10-cent piece and a some- what faded professional silk hat, then took the stand. His face was ashy, as if he were under his own knife. “I am a graduate of a college at Keo- k Jowa, in the class of 1884, was | Chamley's first statement. EXPOSES IGNORANCE. “And you cers immediately?” asked the Coroner. “Yes, sir,” repeated the cancer special- | st tn a professional tone. *I discovered a remedy which is guaranteed to remove | one cancer or money refunded. A hard lump on the face, lip or breast is a can- cer. “When Mrs. Nevin was suffering from hemorrhage, why didn’t you ligate the artery?” “I couldn’t find the exact artery, but T think it was the thoracic. So I stopped the flow by pressure.” “What is the thoracic artery a branch of 7" queried the Coroner. “I don't know, but I'll look in my book.” By further questioning Coroner Leland | brought out the fact that Chamley had signed the certificate simply as death by cancer because he knew that the relatives wished the body immediately and he did not want any delay occasioned by a | Coroner’s inquest. It was at the under- taker's suggesting, according to Cham- | ley’s testimony, that he thus acted. This was later refuted by both Nevin and the undertaker. | The testimony was completed by the | stories of Miss A. M. de Back, sten- | ographer for the cancer specialist, and | Dr. Bacigalupi, autopsy surgeon. The latter claimed that death by hemorrhage | in the breast should not occur under the | most rudimentary skill. | The jurors were the following: Thomas | C. Broderick, foreman; J. G. Neubauer, Theo Lubbe, Charles F. Beckman, Arthur | M. Cammack, W. Walter and Charles J.

A heavy fog pre- vailed at the time and a strong tide add- ed to the difficuities of navigation. There was considerable excitement on both boats for a time, but they managed to work clear and gain their slips in safety. The Thoroughfare was on its way to Oakland. The Transit was loaded with cat- | tle cars and was coming this way. The Thoroughfare struck the Transit squarely on the side, inflicting considerable dam- age. Both vessels were more or less smashed but not damaged in any of the vital parts and repairs can probably be effected without Interfering with regular wor to the Old World. | The Britfih bricklasers imported by Gray Bros. and ordered deported were yesterday started on their journey to the Old World under Immigration Department officlals. hey were taken from Angel Island on the | Crowley launch Guide and landed at Third | and Channel streets, from where they were | taken to the train. ¢They will be escorted to | New York and there piaced on board an Eng- a bound Liner.

Measure Is Declared to Be Against Industries of California. The Californta Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Assoclation yesterday sent out letters to many commercial bodles invit- ing them to join in the protest against the enactment Into law of Senate bill No. %4 The measure is better known as the “label bill.” Among the bodies whose co-| operatifon against the bill is sought are the Pacific Coast Jobbers’ and Manufac- turers’ Assoclation, the Wholesale Gro- cers' Association, the Merchants’ As- soclation of, San Francisco, San Francisco Board of Trade, San Fran- cisco Chamber of Commerce, Chico Board of Trade, Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce, Fresno Chamber of Com merce, Los Angeles Chamber of Com- merce, Merchants' and Manufacturers’ Assoclation of Los Angeles, Oakland Board of Trade, Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce,” San Jose Board of Trade, San- ta Barbara Board of Trade, Stockton Chamber of Commerce and Vallejo Cham~ ber of Commerce. This combination of commercial inter- ests is one of the largest that has ever been fnvoked to act against measures cal- to hamper the business of the State of Callfornia. It is represented by | the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation officers that the bill is bad .espe- clally because it discriminates against California and tends to hand over to oth- er States the manufacturing business that is now carried on in California. Some of the provisions of tne bill, which was in- troduced by Senator Bunkers, are as fol- lows: - DRASTIC PROVISIONS. It shail be the duty of every maker or manu- facturer of any article made or manuracturcd In this State to imprint, label or stamp the same clearly and conspicuously with the word “manufacturer” or “‘manufacturers,” and im- niediately thereunder with the name of the m or pdrsons or corporations who shall partly made or magufactured the same. together with the name of the place where tha fame has been made or manufactured, and in all cases where such atticles are made or manufactured in any city or town in this State the number of the house or buiiding, if the same s numbered, and the name of the street or road, if named, on which such house or building fs situated where such articles are made or manuiactured shall also be imprinted, labeled or stamped with the name of such peradn or persons or incorporations making or manufacturing the same. It shall be the duty of any person or persons or corpaorations seliing, of ng or exposing for sale any arti- cle made or manufactured in this State to ex- hiblg and expose with the article offered or ex- pos®d for sale the imprint, label or stamp of the maker or manufacturer thereof and the name of the place where the same was manu- factured. Section five is as follow: Any person or persons or corporation who shall fmprint. label or stamp, or cause to be imprinted, labeled or stamped, any articie made or manufactured or partly made or man: ufactured in this State with the name or nam:s of any person or persons or corporation makers or manufactuvers other than the name or names of the perscn, persons or corporation who made the same or manufactured the same, or who sha!l finprint, label or stamp the same or cause to be imprinted, labeled or stamped with the name of the place, street or number of the house or building other than the place, street or number of the house as the place of manufacture where the same was manufac- tured shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The Manufacturers’ and Producers' As- soclation has sent a copy of its protest against the passage of Senate bill 334 to every member of the Legislature. The text of the proetst Is in part as’follows: REASONS FOR PROTEST. We respactfully represent to vour honorable bodies that the effect of the enactment into law of the provisions of Senate bill No. 334, now pending before you, or similar provisions in any other bull, facturing Industries of California and of the producing industries depending upon them, for the reasons below stated. The effect of this bill If passed will be to require that every article manufactured in this State shall be conspicuously labeled and mped with t name and address of the manufacturer, and in towns and citles with his street and number, and to prohibit all déalers and other persons from selling or ex- posing for sale any articles made in this State unless so labeled, etc., under penalty, both in the case of the manufacturer and of the dealer, of conviction and punishment for misdemeanor Under the proposed act every one of the mil- lions of canse, bottles and other containers of fruits and other sroducts made in this Stat> would have to be stamped as secified, and likewise the ordinary labels covering these containers, as well as the boxes in which they are packed. Many parts of a battleship, of machinery, wagons and other particles made here in part would have to carry the pre- scribed name and address. The requirement many | would apply to every brick made in the State and to other articles of pool of th compliance clay and even to a d selling for ome cent. The cost ould In many cases be pro- in other cases value of many thousands of dollars’ worth of labels al- ready prepared for use in the ordinary courss of business and now on hand with our manu- facturers would be destroyed upon the passage of the bill. The cause of this protest Is that the pro- visions of this measure are utterly impractl- cable in character, opposed to fixed conditions of trade and that they grossly discriminate against the manufactures of this State and in favor of articles made elsewhere and brought into this State, because the requirements of the bill do nmot and cannot apply to articles made outside of this State. Should this_ biil specifically recite that no article made else- where and brought into this State shall be required to be so labeled, etc., and that no perscn selling it shall be punished, but that all articles made in our own State shall be o labeled, and that any person making or sell- ing anything made in this State not so labeled shall be fined and imprisoned, it would more clearly define the practical working of this measure, which seeks to brand the manufa turers of our State as criminals for dof what every manufacturer outside of the Stas is permitted to do and cannot be prevented from doinz. TAMAGE TO TRADE. The estabiished conditions of trade impera- tively require the manufacturer here and els. where to put up goods in many nstances under the brand and label of the jobber or merchant. Refusal on the part of manufacturers of thi State to comply with this demand of the jo ber would inevitably send hiri to the mauu- facturers of States whose laws seek to bufld up their industries instead of to destroy them. One-third of the market of many of our manu- facturers would be lost in this manner alone through this measure, and the producers of fruits, vegetables and other products -as well as the manufacturer would be Irreparably in- Jured. We further respectfully represent to your honorable bodles that no part of this opposi- tion to said bill relates to the purpose of the measure (o distinguish between the products of white and of Chiness labor, and that, while it is possible that the originators of this measure concefved that they were working to a laudable end, no more sweeping blow, di astrous in fts effects, could be struck at our industrics than this proposed law. Personal conferences have been held by the managers of the California Manufac- turers’ and Producers’ Association with many leading manufacturers and mer- chants of San Francisco, and it has been discovered that there is a very strong op- position to the measure. Large quantities of canned goods are put up all over the State. Jobbers and wholesale grocers de- sire to have their own firm name put upon the cans instead of the names of the manufacturers for advertising purposes. Other interests than the canning indus- o hibitive of manufacture and | burdensome and oppressive and the try are strongly opposed to Senate bill 351. | HUTCHINSON, Minn., Feb. 11.—Ansegar College was destroyed by fire to-day.
