KNIGHT CENSURES DOCTOR
Coroner Charges Philadelphia Physi
cian Was Careless.
Coroner Knight today censured Dr.
August Valentine, a physician attached
to the Philadelphia Hospital, In connec
tion with tho inquest into the death of
Mrs. Mary Durkln, 211 North Darlen
street, who died on February 3, a day
after tho doctor had refused to remove
her from her home. Coroner Knight de
clared that in consideration of the pub
lic good Doctor Valentine should resign
from the staff of tho hospital.
Considerable carelessness and negli
gence has been shown," said tho Coroner,
"In connection with this case. Either tha
doctor on the ambulance did not know
his duty or did not care. Hero wo havo
a hospital that Is supposed by the people
of Philadelphia to care for such cases as
this. But this woman, according to the
testimony, was not cared for until too
late. I suggest that this doctor tender
his resignation to the hospital authori
ties." Doctor Valentine took tho stand after
tho Coroner's Jury had nlso censured
him and declared it was a matter of Judg
ment. Ho said ho feared to remove tho
woman from her home, believing that a
trip to the hospital would kill her Imme
diately. HUNTING BILL PROPOSED

SUBSTITUTE SHIP BILL
' PLANS STRAIGHT PURCHASE
Republican Senators Comblno on
Government Ownership Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Dcadlockcd In
tho Senato light over tho shipping bill,
tho Democrats and tho "allies" Bpent to
day In looking about for possible now
moves to bring them tho victory. Tho
Senate did not meet, having recessed un
til Monday noon, but tho Senators wero
at their ofllccs and conferences from
room to room wero almost continuous.
Tho revelation of tho day was tho
agreement of tho Republicans to ncccpt a
straight-out Govornment-ownershlp and
operation scheme, under control of tho
Navy Department, as a substitute) far tho
Democratic measure. This substitute,
perfected by Sonator Cummins, of Iown,
provides that tho Navy Department shall
uso J30,OC0,0TO worth of Panama canal
bonds to purchaso and construct vessels
for a naval auxiliary, and that In tlmo of
peace theso vessels shall bo operated by
tho department In tho ocean carrying
trado of tho United States. Tho previous
substitute offered by Senator Cummins
provides that tho vessels of the naval
auxiliary should bo leased out to private
concerns. Sonator Cummins stated today that his
new measure would command tho entlro
Republican oto In tho Senato as an nltcr-
n.ttlvo to tho Administration bill unless
the latter should be so amended as to get
tho support of Senators Norrls and La
Follotte. He predicted, however, that tho
fight would contlnuo Indefinitely.
Republicans admitted today that tho
Democrats would havo tho whip hand
In tho Senato Monday or Tuesday on the
ship purchaso bill. A responsible Repub
lican Senator, howover, notified Senator
Simmons, an Administration leader, that
tho filibuster against tho Administration's
bill would bo continued until March 4.
It Is believed tho Democrats intend to
allow their opponents to vote tho original
bill Into a pigeon-hole, got Senator Gore's
substitute from the hostile Intcrstato
Commerco Commission nnd centra their
efforts on passing the substitute. ,
Tho Democrats said they would be ablo
to forco continuous sessions, breaking tho
filibuster before March 4, but Admitted
this would mean an extra session for
appropriation bills.

NAVY'S CHAMPION PUGILIST
WEDS LITTLE BRIDE AT LAST
Obstacles That Embarrassed Big Charles McDermott Sur
mounted by" 16-Ycar-Old Hilda Donnelly.
A heavyweight champion prizefighter
may bo as terrifying as an enraged bull
Insldo tho ring, but put him In tho chas
tonod precincts of a mnrrlago llcenso
bureau and ho becomes as meek as the
proverbial lamb.
So also a ltttlo chit of a 16-ycar-old girl
may prove Incompetent In all the ordi
nary contests, of llfo, but glvo her the
heart of n big husky specimen of man
hood to play with, or match her wits
against thoso of an obdurato parent who
tl.lnks sho Is too young to wed, and seo
her rlso to tho occasion.
All of which Is by way of saying that
9-year-old champion heavyweight of tho
navy Charlos Roland McDermott, ot
Brooklyn, N. Y or "Jack" Keating, and
lG-ycar-old ingenuous llttlo Hilda Don
nelly aro now really married at last.
Thoy'vo been trying lo arrive at tho
altar for tho last three days, but, alas,
tho cold, rudo hand of tho law has re
lentlessly held them back.
It happened In this way, or supposo wo
let Miss Hilda tell tho story, as sho
lisped It out jestcrday at tho City Hall
when Chief Clerk Ferguson Informed the
couple ns gently as ho knew how that
slnco sho had not arrived at tho ago of
discretion, which translated In Pennsyl
vania, means 21 years of age, cither her
parents' consent or nn affidavit signed
by them was necessary boforo the license
could bo Issued.
"It was two years ago that I met Jack,"
sho said shyly, playing with the hugo
bouquet of pink roses and lilies of the
valley pinned on her corsago while her
husky fiance twirled his soft hat In an
cmbarroflsed manner belying nil accounts
of his fighting prowess. "You see In ad
dition to being champion heavyweight, he
Is also the bandm&stor of tho musicians
on tho Uulted Stntes ship Alabama.
"Ho was marching by my house In

was nt my parlor window. I was only

PHILADELPHIA MOTORISTS
"DODGE" JERSEY LICENSES
Commissioner Xiippincott Says State
Loses $40,000 a Tear.
Private automobile owners and Phila
delphia business houses havo been "cheat
ing" tho New Jersey Treasury out of
upward of JtO,KX a year by nbuslng the
"reciprocity" privilege, according to State
Motor Vehlclo Commissioner Job II. Llp
plncott, who placed a detail of detectives
at the Camden ferries today to remedy
conditions.
In deciding upon this action, which, ha
says, will trap thousands of Pennsylvania
and other motorists using tho Jersey
roads, tho commissioner declared that
"tho majority of the business houses and
private owners In Philadelphia nnd vicin
ity using the roads of New Jorsey for
their machines bavo not ana never navo
complied with the State legislation per
mitting road privileges for no longer than
two weeks on their homo licenses."
According to tho motor commissioner,
a comparison of the New York and Phil
adelphia motor llcenso figures led him to
make an Investigation. This showed that
New York travelers, also those from New
Kngland, using Now Jersey roads, paid
J69.163.07.
Tho "reciprocity" privilege entitling mo
torists to tho use of tho Jersey highways
was adopted by tho Now Jersey Legisla
ture In 1913. It gave machine owners the
right to enter and drive through Jersey
on tho llcenso of their respective States,
providing tho nutomobllo was not kept
In tha Stato moro than two weeks. Au
tolsts havo been evading this regulation,
nccordlng to tho commissioner, some of
them keeping their machines at summer
resorts all summer without taking out
special licenses.
