C3) DRENNAN DODGES: |g INTERVIEWER ON ~NURED RENAN > Commissioner Has Nothing to’ } Say About Patient Ordered , \onDuty, Nowin Bellevue, {|B & weporter for The Evening Wortd }/D tmade three visits toway to, the office | |B @f Wire Commissioner Thomas J.//5 . Drennan on the eleventh floor of the | |B Mamicipal Building to tearn, finally, | | #s that Commissioner Drennan had been | 5 ° “mn” af the time but “haa absolutely nothing to say about” the complaint of @ fireman-patient in Bellevue Hos- | |i pital that on March 20 last he was or || dered back to duty while suffering from a fracture of the spine, a sprained shoulder and internal in- furies, - . ‘The ¢ireman, who told his story Propped up with pillows on a cot in Bellevue, is Henry F. Williams of Engine Cotmpany No. 16. The man who ordered him back, Williams says, is Dr. Joseph E. Smith, chief medical oMcer of the Fire Department. The inquiring Evening World rez porter had no difficulty in getting to Dr. Smith, whose office is on the same floor ofthe Municipal Building as the Commissioner's. “Have yo useen Henry Williams's story?” the physician was asked. “PY couldn't miss it,” said Dr. Smith, “Every friend I have in New York has called my attention to it.” “And what have you to say about ite “You may say,” said Dr. Smith, “that T have absolutely nothing to say about it at present.” Mayor Hylan, on the other hand, says the story of Williams will be in- vestigated at once and promises to ’ i let the men of the Department and the general public know the results of the ina#iry. “I have been reading Williams's story as it appeared in early editions of The Evening World,” the Mayor sald, “and I shall have it investigated 48 soon as possible. Pending that in- quiry, I think it better to make no comment. When I have heard from everybody concerned, the public and the firemen will hear from me with- out delay.” When a reporter called first at Commissioner Drennan’s office one of the two men in the outer room said the Commissioner w: “out.” The next report was that he wasn't in. Another report was that he was “cir- culating about the city from one fire-house to another.” Another try elicited the informa- tion that the Commissioner was in but Was 6o taken up by a conference with reference to the budget which “must be in to-night,” that he cowd see no one. He was “going to be busy all day.” ‘The reporter explained the nature of his business and asked the sec- retary to Say to Commissioner Dren- nan that he called with reference to the Williams story. ‘The secretary withdrew and camo back with the statement already quoted, that “the Commissioner hag absolutely nothing to say about the matter.” ‘An express company motor truck t crashed 1.10 Williams's engine on Jan, 13, thr@wing him to the curb. The engineer hag begun sult for $25,000 f damages, and connects that with what happened afterward. After being treated by his family physician for a month he was under the care of Dr. Reginald H. Sayre, professor of or- thopedic Surgery ‘in the Bellevue Medical College, and reported twice weekly to the medical officers of the Fire Department. “On March 20 I gave Dr. Joseph E. Smith, Chief Medical Oficer, a note from ‘Dr. Sayre's clinic saying I needed absolute rest for the spine and asking that I be excused from re- Rorting in person,” Williams sald to- ay. “Dr. Smith said that as No. 16 was a double company, I could go back and take care of the second engine. The engine is an old-model steamer and has to be heated from a furnace in the basenent. / “when 1\protested that T was un- able to stoop at all, Dr, Smith said: "You will do as I order,’ “[ decided to seo Commissioner Prennan. After hearing me he called in Dr. Smith. Then he came out and said: ‘Young man, my advice to you 1s to obey the doctor's orders. “[ went on duty the next morning and while at work fell unconsdous, Dr. Sayre, although reluctant to discuss the case, confirmed Williams's statements about his condition.

Simply coloring the prospgct of another year’s study to a suffi- ciently roseate hue to inspire even a mild interest in her young son is a task to tax the diplomacy of any mother. Convincing him that certain concessions to the conventions in the matter of clothes are necessary before he can appear in the hated classroom is a Macy EPTEMBER 2, 1919. UU Ua task that requires ‘all her persuasive powers. He feels, perhaps righteously, that his mere consent to continue his educa- tion along lines with~which he has no sympathy should waive all restrictions in the matter of apparel. His mother, from her feminine viewpoint, believes that an entire new wardrobe is in itself an inducement. Inevitably there will be some friction before he is outfitted in a suitable fashion for school. But, in order that that friction may be reduced to a minimum, and the shop- ping expedition made as little of a trial as possible, we urge every mother and every mother’s,son to come here for the outfit. In the school clothes we have assembled we have endeavored to strike that happy medium between his radical ideas ad her conventional ones. Here are suits tailored with a nicety that mother will appreciate, designed in easy, comfortable styles that the worst little rebel will like to wear, Good materials to please a fastidious parent, plenty of room and pockets to satisfy an active boy. Extra knickers with most suits provide for the strenu- ous wear that many boys give. Overcoats, mackinaws, raincoats, sweaters, ties and other accessories are abundantly represented. The problem of making both boy and mother happ; is not so much of a problem, after all, when such consideration for the ideas of both has been given to every garment in our collection. The list here, we believe, takes care of the essen- tials of a durable wardrobe for a well-dressed boy. Treat These Made by the largest shoe manufacturer in the world.
