f i CITY MUST HELP CONSUMPTIVES. So Declares Lyman G. Bloom- ingdale, Who, as Patron and Benefactor of Montefiore Home, Has Studied Malady. FAVORS A COUNTRY HOME. Bays a oanitarium Where Poor Pa- tients Can Be Properly Cared For and Treated Will Soon Put Tu- berculosis Under Control. “A country sanitarlum for consump- tives—run by the city—that ts a solu- tion to the overwhelming problem of tuberculosis that 1s menacing our city to-day." Lyman G. Bloomingdale, who for years has been prominently connected with ‘the Montefiore Home at One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street and Broad- way, as treasurer and patron of this charitable institution, has studied thor- oughly the phases of the consumption problem from the curative standpoint, and his views upon the subject’are based upon practical results obtained at the country sanitarlum for consumptives at Bedford Station, which is run in con- nection with the Monteflore Home. “If only the city would establish a country home I fully belleve that the great Inroads of the disease could be checked. The east side 1s a hotbed of tuberculosis, and by reaching into this seething mass of humanity and res- culng victims of the disease future cases May be prevented from developing, Why He Favors a Home. “I am greatly In favor of the establish- ing of such a ‘home, and I heartily wish that the clty would take up the propo- sition. My advocacy of such a plan 1s based upon my knowledge of the great good accomplished at the country sant- tarlum at Bedford Station. When the BURDICK ACCUSE OF CHOKING WIFE Said to Have. Thus Thus Obtained Access to Her Safe Deposit Box and So Secured Letters of Pennell. WHO HAD HAD HIM WATCHED. Wrote Detective that Work Was Too Expensive and the Results Didn't Warrant the Big Sum It Cost Him. BUFFALO, March 2.—When Mrs. Burdick goes on the witness stand next Monday District-Attorney Coateworth will ask her about a sensational inc!- dent which occurred some time after December, 1900, when her husband is wald to have choked her until she signed a paper which gave him access to the safe deposit box where her pri- vate papers were kept, Pennell Shadowed Burdick. In this box Burdick seoured the letter now in the hands of the authorities In which Pennell wrote her, “There are times when I fell impelled to kill Ea Burdick.” Other papers secured at the same time showed Burdick that nell had persistently shadowed him had gone to great expense to have movements watched. This espionage was carried on by the Watts Agency, of this city, a New York detective and @ Cleveland detective bureau. L. B. Whtney, of No. 286 Superior street, Cleveland, O., worked for Pen- nell in shadowing Burdick. The police have letters written by Pennell to Whitney at frequent intervals during the twelve months previous to the mur- der. Late in the year Pennell wrote that ‘he wae disappointed with the work. “A large expenses incurred and no results,” is his comment to the Cleveland inves- Montefiore Home for chronic invalids was established in 1884 we did not have a special department for consumptives, but the growing necessity of separating victims of this disease has led to our present plan. We have a ward at the home where the incurable cases are Kept, but those suffering from incipient consumption are sent up to our sani- tarlum. “A sanitarium similar to our institu- tion, established at some country place, 4s just what the city needs to eliminate this curse, the country home, which our society maintains purely by yolun- tary donations, 1s situated in a delight- ful epot at an altitude of 450 feet. The patients are treated to outdoor life and g00d food as the primal remedies, “We are also experimenting with tents. ‘Two men have adopted the idea made prominent by leading tuberculosis specialists of living in them, These two ‘men show marked improvement, and we wil) soon raise more tents, Get Plenty of Ozone. “Our patients get mild outdoor -exer- cise, and the making of gardens keeps ‘up their interest in outdoor life, The gutdoor lfe encourages the patients. "The reduction of the hours of loafing and brooding tends to the betterment of the patient both physically and men- tally. “Most of our patients come from the east side, and in the last year ‘we have had 1,33 applications, Of course we cannot accommodate all of these un- fortunates, and the need of a city sani- tarlum {s imperative. Out of the number of applicants 621 were admitted. The capacity of the sanitarlum ‘# at all times overtaxed, and we have to reject many really deserving cases, “My belief Is that by removing pa- tients from consumptive environments they may be cured. It is not medicine but pure air that consumptives need most, The air of the east side reeks with mlorobes and is the worst place fn the world for one to combat. the disease. What It Would Cont. “It would cost the city from $250 to $300 per capita to care for consumptive patients, and this is figuring an the most nourishing food. Of course we have our own cows and poultry and the pa- tients get the best and freshest of everything, These poor people who come to us Segging to be cured of the awful malady bring the most pathetic stories imaginebdle, and when we see whole fam- iiles affected by the through lack of proper sanitation it seems that some step should be taken by the municipality. “I do not believe tn sending consump- ves to Colorado and Arizona. Just as much good can be accomplished here in New York. Good nourishing food and plenty of fresh air are the best reme- dies. AmelHoration has been observed in 65 per cent, of the cases in the last year, and 17 per cent. of oures have been effected. The average length of time pent in the Institution by each patient 1s four months and twelve “The results at the country sanitarium of the Monteflore Home show what can be done In checking this dread disease, and if only the public could be aroused to the necessity of founding a city instl- tution the disease might be put under eontrol.’” SANKEY, BLIND NOW, MAY SEE AGAIN.

I do not want to go to the expense of sending up more than one man from here !f It can be avoided, and it ts for that that I rely upon you. It appears that on Friday night your man got the wrong party, and on Gaturday morn- ing, which was the tmportant time, your man did not show up, and in con- sequence the Buffalo party was able to leave the hotel unobserved.” Mra. Burdick In Silent. ‘These letters, compared with the let- ters written by Burdick to New York detectives, show that these men had for a year previous to the tragdy kept persistent watch on each other's move- ments, and thus the double espionage to @ great extent proved fruitless, It 1s anticipated that when Mri dick on the witness stand defend the mem: of Pennell allowed herself to be seen to-day, but when asked if she had received the Jettor from Pennell in which he he felt inclined to ki her bu: replied that she would neit nor deny anything at the present time.
