Scathing Attack
Ope
VICE OP POLITICAL RULE
Btockley li In reality a dlisrace to the
wMmnlty In tvhleh It stands, accordtne; to
wp. Wllfe-rd Hmtth, superintendent of Johns
Xktnn Hospital, Baltimore, and presl
eHnt tot the American Hospital Association,
who in hli annual address Uils morning tle
Maitted politics In municipal hospital. One
thaueand delegates assembled (or the open
In seaalon of the eighteenth annual four
day convention of the orcanlsatlon, en the
reef garden of the Bellevue Stratford
"The asuoo'atlon should stand firmly for
higher standards' In the administration of
municipal hospital," he said In apeaklnr
of the part politics plaja In ruling; of mu
nicipal hospitals, lie declared himself un
alterably opposed to political domination
,ot those Institutions. In this country the
endowed Institutions have been leaders In
hospital achievements, while, with n few
exceptions, the municipal hospitals havo
suffered from the political spoils steni,
with the result that the municipal hoopltaln
tn some of the larger cities, which should
have been examplesof excellence, hae tn
reality been k disgrace to their respective
communities.
BLOCKLEY AN EVIL CXAMrLU
"In this connection," he added, "I need
only mention Chicago, New York, Cincin
nati, Baltimore and Philadelphia,"
When asked If he referred to Blocklcy,
Doctor Smith said, "Yes, I mean Blockley
when I say this."
Doctor Smith admitted there have been
a, few conspicuous examples of excellence,
"Adding: "There Is no reason whatever
why our municipal institutions, once freed
from the pernicious influence of politics,
could not be models of excellence, contribut
ing; largely to medical education and to
the Increase in medical knowledge, whllo
at the same time exercising a much more
potent influence In maintaining the health
of the community. If there Is any Institu
tion which should be entirely divorced from
evil of political domination, it should be
those hospitals which are responsible Mr
the care ot the sick poor."
PAVOP.S UNION OF FORCES
President Smith advocated a change In
the policy of the American Hospital Asso
ciation either to divide Into an eastern,
western, southern and Canadian association,
with meetings every two years and a joint
meeting of the four branches on the alter
nate years, or else the amalgamation of a
number of organisations all working with
the same end in view Improvement of
publla health.
In connection with the latter recom
mendation he spoko of an amalgamation or
joining of the American Hospital Associa
tion, the Public Health Bureau, the Na
tion Association for Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis, the Canadian Public
Health Associat'on, the American School
Hygiene Association, the Association for the
Prevention of Infant Mortality;, the National
Organization for Publto Health and the
National League for Nursing Education
He suggested the name of the American
Public Health Association, and paid such
organization could preserve its Identity tn
its own community, but amalgamate for
stated sessions.
Doctor Smith emphasized the need of a
council or houas ot delegates In the present
American Hospital Association to transact
business, on account Of the time wasted at
the annual convention, becauso of the lock
of such a body, Ho also advocated the
abolishment of a number of committees to
reduce the number of reports to which dele
Kates must listen at oach convention.
WOULD RAISE STANDARD
President Smith decried the establish
ment ot "too many hospitals upon III ad
vised and uncontrollable enthusiasm of
groups of Individuals," and advocated the
creation of machinery which would prevent
the creation of such hospitals "ot such en
thusiasm, without visible means of sup
port." He decried the low salaries paid to hos
pital employes and pointed out that the low
wages frequently were accompanied by low
standards of decorum and morals, remind
ing the delegates that It had been found
that a large percentage of the employee
of a certain New York municipal hospital
were from the workhouse at Blackwell's
Island.
He went on record In no uncertain terms
denouncing low moral standards when he
aald: "No man or woman of low moral
standards has any business In a hospital,
particularly In a position of trust and re
sponsibility. It only requires a few Iso
lated Instances to cast discredit on the
whole hospital system."
Among other things advocated by the
president In his annual addrejs werethe
paying of more attention to autopsy find
ings and abolishment ot red tape, which
now prevents such study; the abolishment
of Incompetent anesthetists from hospitals;
better standards of hospital organization
between the superintendents and trustees;
the Ideation of hospitals In proper localities,
and "not bunching" them; the establishment
ot country branches for convalescents, in
stead of maintaining expensive buildings tn
downtown districts; the establishment ot
well-equipped organization units for educa
tion of the handicapped and unfit leaving
the hospitals; the supplying of rooms and
Pf y clinics for those who can afford them
and are too proud to attend free clinics and
not rich, enough to stand the expense ot
"many specialists"; and the appointment
et a committee to take up the study of
health insurance.

Was Snnfed
BEAUTY LEADS THE WAY
CHICAGO. Sept. 26 Disclosures of how
he was hllked of 115,000 by members of the
so-called million dollar blackmail syndi
cate, who rjtught him In n compromising
situation With one of tho bnnd's "come
one" In the Ansonta Hotel, New York, were
made hero today by I M ward It West, a
wealthy Hyde Park Importer.
The woman with whom ho was trapped
was "Bud a Godman, a striking brunette,
who It Is charged, with Helen Evers, did
the luring for the syndicate. She was un
der arrest here today Awaiting preliminary
hearlrgs of other members of the gang.
West Is a widower nnd wealthy. He Is
vice president of tho C D. Gregg Tea nnd
Coffee Company of Chicago nnd New York.
In order that others might take heed
and profit by his humiliating experience,
West Raid, he decided to make public the
sensational details of his case.
"I met Buds Godman In a downtown
restaurant." said "West. "She waa beau
tiful, polished, and I wan led to believe
that she had Independent means of her own.
We becamo very good friends. Shortly
after our acquaintance had ripened Into
friendship I waa cnlled to New York on a
business trip for mv firm.
"She suggested that she make tho trip
with me. I wan surprised, ns I thought
she was n girl of refinement. At first I
refuied; then, at her Insistence, I nnxeed
to It. Wo reached New York on Mny 9
and registered at the An;onla Hotel.
"We had been there eevcral days. One
morning there came a knock on our door.
I opened It nnd In enmo three men. They
were armed with warrants for our nrrent.
They had badges nnd 'credentials,' which
I now know to have been false, showing
they were agents of the Department of
Justice. They said wo had violated the
Mann act.
"I told them it was an outrage and that
I would not submit to It. But Buda became
hysterical. She said It meant ruin for her,
that sho was a convent-reared girl and It
would kill her parents.
".She sobbed that it wan nil right for me,
a man, to talk of fighting it because society
would forgive a man whero It put an Irre
movable blemish on a woman. She threat
ened to commit suicide. Then she became
calmer and asked what she could do to save
herself.
"It was Intimated by" the three 'officers'
that money might nettle It. What was I to
do? A girl of apparent culture had been
placed In this position nnd It was up to
my chivalry. If nothing else, to get her out.
"Wo were taken to two staterooms "under
guard' nnd hurried back to Chicago. Wo
went to the Alexandria Hotel, where I wai
Informed United States Commissioner Foot
lived. A hundred times I threatened to re
volt and let everything go, but Buda pleaded
that It meant ruin for her. I believed In
her. We were held there for several days
whllo tho so-called 'negotiations' "were on.
"Then I paid them In cash. The nrst In
stallment was $1I,D00. Later I gavo them
32500.
"When tho exposure of their organization
came I know I had been 'bled,' and I de
cided to sacrifice my personal humiliation
for the sake of others who may Innocently
be drawn Into tho Bathe net."
West declared that the persons with
whom ho wns associated tn the deal and
whom he now knows to be blackmailers were
persons that would fool any ono. They
were polished, he said, and educated.
Their language and manners would deceive
any one.

WHITMAN WILL NOT

NEW PLAN FOR TIE-UP
Governor Doesn't Believe Strike
Situation Dcmnnds Action.
Labor Chiefs Have Sym
pathy Truntp Card
SAY "KEY UNION STRUCK"
NEW YORK, Sept. Sfl. Governor Whit
man let It be' known shortly before noon
today iliat he would not call a special ses
sion of the Now Tork Legislature to deal
with the general strike here called for to
morrow morning, He said he would re
ceive tho committee of legislators this after
noon, but made It clear that he did not
believe the present situation called for such
drastic action.
A new plan of strategy has been evolved
by the conference ot labor leaders for tho
Industrial tie-up.
The majority of tho Individual unions that
are to be enlisted In the general walkout In 1
sympathy Willi the striking carmen win tie
placed In a poiltlon where they can tell
their employers
' "Wo did not want to strike. We were
forced to tuspehd work because the 'key'
union struck."
Hugh Fraync, State organizer for tho
American Federation of Labor, admitted
that in this way the leaders hope to realise
their threat to tie up the whole city.
With this sweeping change In the tactics
of the strike agitators and the refusal of
.Governor Whitman to call a special session
of the Legislature, the situation has as
sumed more serious proportions.
After revealing his "trump card" Frayne
said:
"So you see how absolutely sure it Is
that there will not be any hitch In our
plans. I will not make any definite esti
mate of the number that will go out tomor
row morning, but I will say that a large
majority will go' out, and before the week
Is over many more trades will follow suit."
In explaining the new plan under which
most of the unions will be made to appear
as the martyrs of tho "kev" organizations.
'Frayne said:
"It will not even be necessary for somo
unions to take a vote on going out For
Instance, If the longshoremen do not quit
and the teamsters go on strike,, the docks
will be so congested In a few days that the
longshoremen would have to quit anyway,"
In quitting "involuntarily," however,
Frayno explained, the unions would not
commit a breach of contract &
Twenty-eight trades In the Bronx are to
bo called out by the Bronx board ot busi
ness agents, according to a decision reached
last night, Frayne asserted.

Tho theory of the police that William
Rlchter, the painter and paperhanger, was
shot by a stray bullet from a weapon used
by boys hunting rats among tho city dumps
as he sat on the steps of his home at
Hancock nnd Shunk streets Sunday night
was shaken today when Coroner's Physi
cian William Wadsworth announced that
the .bullet was from a large weapon. It
was of .38 caliber, steel-Jacketod, nickel
plated, sharp-pointed and of high speed. It
Is believed to have been shot from a
magazine pistol.
On this finding. Detectives William Bel
shaw, William Callahan and Coroner's
Detsqtlvo Frank Paul went to the marine
barracks at the navy yard to see 1f the
bullet could not have been shot from a
pistol thero, perhaps during target practice.
Yet the detoctlves know that the target at
which the sailors and marines shoot Is In
an opposite direction from that which would
have caused a bullet to strike at Hancock
and Shunk streets.
It might have been shot, however, from
the navy yard In another way.
Whether or not Buch weapons are used
at the Navy Yard Is a question ho de
tectives want answered. They doubt that
they are. Hut If their investigations In the
Navy Yard disclose no clues, they will
work on the theory that the shot was fired
by a watchman or a tramp among the
freight cars which stand on a line with
Shunk street, dowh which the bullet seemed
to have oped.
Mrs. Margaret Chance, with whom
Rlchter vas talking when he was struck
nnd killed, was questioned today by Captain
of Detectives James Tate. What she had
to say. however, did not help toward a
Lolutlon of how Rlchter was shot
