Ee ? DEFECTIVE BABY DIS IN HOSPITAL FATHERS GLAD Surgeons Did Not Perform) Operation to Save or Pro- long Life of Child. MOTHER IS NOT TOLD. * Doctors in Fresh Controversy | as to Whether Operation Would Have Saved Life. . Mary Margaret Roberts, nine days 0M, over whose crippled form there broke, on the day she was born, a| storm of medical dissension, which shee continued ever since, is beyond the power of the surgeon's knife either to atd or harm her. Shortly! after 10 o'clock this morn’ ¢ the Inst) lingering spark of life flickered out | of her tiny body at the Babies’ Hos-| pital as the surgeons and nurses) ‘watched. The Roberte baby never had a hance for life. It was doomed from ‘the first, and no operation could have @aved it or even prolonged its life of pain, declare the doctors in charge now, in spite of allegations of ne- @lect that have been made against them. “Thank God!" exclaimed Joseph E. Roberta, the baby’s father, when he | ‘was told that she was dead. Tears) filled, bis eyes and his voice was ehoked as he told of his belief that NO operation should have been per- formed which would condemn the child to a lifetime of misery as a helpless cripple. | “From the very first,” he said, “I) thought it would be nothing short of | &® orime to raise that baby up to lead | ia Iie of helpless, hopeless deformity. | I was against the performing of any | operation, until I was talked to by @. Maurice Rosenberg and Dr. Gold- @chmidt and convincea I had no right ‘to pass judgment on the child. So I consented to an operation If the doc- tora thought best. But now I am glad the poor little girl is dead.” “S In the Bables’ Hospital death hovers “Over another bed on which Wes the mother of little Mary Margaret.

She has been too! iil to take more than a glance at the) tlay form, swathed in wrappings that concealed the truth from her. And if she dies she will die in ig- norance of the controversy that has been waged by doctors over her crip- pled child. Dr. Rosenburg declared to-day that if the Coroner takes any action on the baby’s death he will volunteer as a witness and give his opinion that an operation might have saved it, and that the doctors and surgeons in charge of the case were derelict in their duty, The baby had what is medically known as spinal bifida, a projection of the spinal column; it had clubbed feo and its lower limbs were pa lyzed. It it had lived, the doctors say, it would have been a hopeless cripple for life. * KEEPSKIDNEYS = ACTIVE WITH A GLASS OF SALTS Must flush your Kidneys oc-| casionally if you eat meat regularly.

Shibusawa, known as the Morgan of Japan, smiled at me amiably as he sald this in the suite he occupies on the eighteenth floor of the me and he kept his shrewd Japanese eye upon\me to see how I was taking He smiled at directly to Mr, Zumoto, formerly editor of the Tokio Times, who is a member of his party, and whose faultless English has made him the unofficial Interpreter for the distinguished Japanese of Japan. GIVING EDITOR ZUMOTO AN “ASSIST.” > Somehow it seeened to me that our interview should be written In terms of baseball—Baron Shibusawa to Mr. Zumoto, Mr. Zumoto to me—and when I asked a question, by the re- verse process—I to Mr. Zumoto, Mr. Zumoto to the Baron, 1 made tho questions as short as I could and the Tokio editor seemed to condense them even more in his translation. But the Baron, bless his seventy-six honorable and distinguished years, did not answer in monosyllables, To almost every inquity he cracked out a@ three-bagger reply. (You know the usual Interpreter’s version of a three-thousand word answer to a hypothetical question). He says, perhaps. So, if I pause to call down bepedictions on the name of Zumoto do not blame me. The interpreter who really interprets is the rarest of created beings. The “Morgan of Japan” is a short, well-dressed gentleman, whose fig- ure has just the right rotundity for a banker, He wore, when I saw him last night, Just before the dinner given in his honor at the Lotos Club, a plain biack business suit with a gold watch chain draped across the front, a turn-down collar and the most varied and” {nteresting set of expressions that I ever saw on the face of a Jap- anese. Apparently Baron Shibusawa doesn't mind letting one-half of his face know what the other half Is talk- ing about. His manner is frank and simple, his words apparently un- guarded. (Of course they are not.) “The American husband {s too much under the thumb of his wife,” the Baron informed me. “In old days the Japanese wife was similarly in and, But not The tendency of modern pan Is to place the woman on an equality with the man, We have come to know that there can be no real progress unless man and woman progress together. But here, I think, the pendulum has swung too far. Yes, you e too much power, far much," “Do asked the power of her hus to day. too you mean legal power?” 1 And Mr. Zumoto translated. No," the Baron replied, “not legal power-power through charm. The American woman is very charming. And she abuses her power." “Oh, no, we don't,” I expostulated. But the Baron merely smiled and said: “l shall have to ask the men about that. You are not a competent witness: “T think,” the “that the Japar Baron continued, #@ ladies could iearn much from the Americana in inde-| pendence and ey and you could perhaps learn much from them tn the things that make home attractive and husbands contented, The Japan- ese woman is still principally a wife and mother.” BELIEVES IN HIGHER EDUCA- TION OF WOMEN—FOR HOME, "But you have business women tn Japan, have you not?" 1 inquired.

MORGAN” EULOGIZED AT DINNER, John D. Rockefeller jr., Elbert H. Gary, Jacob H. Schiff, Seth Low and fifty-four other, guests of Dr, Jokicht Takamine, a chemist of international fame, last night participated in a dinner at the Lotos Club, which was expressly meant as a tribute*to Baron Ichi Shibusawa, who Is sometimes called the “J. P, Morgan of Japan.” Mr. Gary denied the possibility of a war between the United States and the country from whic§ the Baron comes on @ mission of friendliness, be- cause, if for no other reason, we make money in Japan, and Mr, Rockefeller, protesting against his ine troduction by Seth Low, toastmaster, &s a representative of the Standard Oil Company, esiogized Baron Shi- |busawa as a 1.an who gave first thought to the moral features of living while he made for Nimself a financial standing in Japan second to that of no man. Baron Shibusawa asserted that when the war is ended on satisfectory terms the continued friendship of Japan and the United States would be @ great factor in making peace perma- nent. The Baron, speaking through his interpreter, "M. Zumoto, sald he wished not merely for the end of the barbarous war in Europe, but for a setlement which would not be brie@y temporary. Japan and the United States have the joint duty, he said, of bringing harmoniously together the West and the East, two civilizations which are not necessarily antago- nistic. E. H, Gary declared that mankind's desire for pecuniary gain, as potent as any other factor when combined od business relations, would . a conflict between apan and America, adding: | “In our business relations with the | Japanese there have been no broken | promises and no bad debts.” |. Mr. Rockefeller made tt clear that he was not present a3 the representa- | tive of the Standard Oil Company, “But J am so fortunate to be here as the son of one who has had a part in building up that company,” he added. “Iam glad to be here as his representative.” He lauded Baron Shibusawa, who has al arts, developed’ com- merce, agriculture and industry, an with it all * had time to give to the study of religious mutters, T, Nakamura, Consul General of pan at New York, declared that his ountry and America, after the war, will have to solve the material prob- lems of the future, Other speakers included Dr, Takamine, Low and ex-Gov, J, Franklin Fort of New Jer~ sey.

Poliee Commissioner Woods dis- cussed to-day the reform of trafic conditions and especially automobile regulation in city streets urged by The Evening World in order to lessen the number of deaths and injuries, which has increased during the last! year. “There are two ways of making the streets safe,” he said. “Both are necessary.” Drivers must be controlled by legislation and forced to use or- dinary caution and good judgment, The public itself must be educated to learn such caution and to obey cross- regulations so that persons will not | be injured by drivers who are caroful and conservative, From Jan, 1 to Nov, 30, this year, we have had 20,570 highway accl- dents. Five hundred and sixty deaths have resulted, Of these ‘ deaths, automobiles have caused 160 |and motor trucks 89; motor vehicle accidents have therefore been re- sponsible for 43 per cent, of the high- way accident deaths, ‘The non-fatal accidents caused by automobiles show a much heavier percentage. Street car accidents have caused 67 deaths; horse-drawn vehicles, 38; | falls from vehicles, 46; collisions, 36, | and other street accidents, such as} falling signa, 81. “For some time the handling of traffic has been extended beyond the traffic police, Every inspector and captain in the city hus been held re-| sponsible for traffic accidents in his| district due to neglect proper pluc- Ing of policemen to regulate trafic, “But the traffic division alone has/ fssued 7,034 summonses; ninety-two] drivers have been discharged in court; fifty-four have been sent to jail, and from the rest fines aggregating $144,- 500 have been collected, For violation of the ordinance forbidding the opera- | tion of a vehicle within eight feet of al street car which is at a standstill there have been 923 arests; thirty-one drivers have been discharged and the remainder have been fined about $26 each, ARRESTS AND FINES DO NOT TEACH CHAUFFEURS, “These figures show more arrests, fines and jail sentences do not serve | to educate drivers.
