MONEY CAMPAIGNS CONFLICT
Two Hospitals, Seeking Funds, In
terfere With Each Other
A conflict has arisen between the mana.
gers of two campaigns to raise mohey
for hospitals here because virtually
simultaneous dates have been set. A cam
paign for JSOO.000 for the Children's Hos
pital, of Philadelphia, will start October
18. A campaign for J160.000 for a hospital
for negroes, to be conducted by tho
Mercy Hospital and School for Nurses,
will start October 20.
Tho promoters of the latter campaign
have protested to the -managers of tho
former that It will be impossible to wage
two such money-getting campaigns at the
same time. The Mercy Hospital workers
say they flxed the date first and that the
Children's Hospital workers' are encroach
ing on their ground.
E. T. Stotesbury, Arthur H. Lea and
other prominent Phllnde'phlans wilt head
the movement to raise money for the
Children's Hospital. Some of those In
terested In that campaign say plans have
been made and it will .be Impossible to
change them, nnd it is believed that no
action will be taken on tho protest of Dr.
A. B. Jackson, superintendent of the
Mercy Hospital.
