formation
By Associated Press
Chicago, Nov. 18. Complete vin-
Jication of Dr. Harry ,T. Haiselden,
ho declined to operate on the defec
tive Bollinger baby and thus sr.ve its
life, will be recommended to the coro
ner's jury which is to conduct an in
piest to-day.
The recommendation for vindica
tion will tie made by Dr. H. G. W.
Reinhart. chief coroner's physician,
who conducted a post mortem on the
"ix-day old infant an hour after its
ieath in the German-American Hos
pital last night. Coroner Peter M.
Hoffman had indicated that unless the
post mortem proved the child a men
al defective Dr. Haiselden might be
:ried for criminal negligence.
Chicago, Nov. 18.—The question
ivhether his life should have been
fought for or whether it was right to
let him die is over, insofar as tho
tiny, unnamed, six-days-old defective
son of Mrs. Anna Bollinger is himself
•oncerned.
The child died in the German-Am
erican Hospital here at- 7.C0 o'clock
last, night, with Dr. H. J. Haiselden,
<-hief of the hospital staff, standing
firmly to his position that he could not
use his science to prolong the life of
so piteously afflicted a creature. He
held to the end against a storm of ad
verse criticism And of emotional ap
peals that came to him in scores of
letters and hundred of telephone mes
sages.
Mother Stood Firm
Nor did tho mother weaken as the
child's death approached. She main
tained that it would be too horrible
and cruel to continue such an exist
ence by any means.
While there were no lack of opin
ions. especially from his professional
brothere, upholding Dr. Haiselden, the
physician was not entirely proof
against the agitation he had caused.
Once he was moved to bitter rejoinder
against his critics.
"It. would be a moral wrong," he
said, "to permit this child to live. It
seems to me that a city which allows
a Black Hand outrage a week, a thou
sand abortions a day and an automo
bile accident every round of the clock,
is hardly in a position to criticise a
man who holds that death is prefer
able to life as a defective."
Just then the telephone rang in the
ward and the doctor answered it.
When he came back he said:
"A woman. She asked me to save
the child. In the end she called me
names. Yet if lie grew up he would
•>e a hopeless cripple and would suffer
from fits."
"Would his mind be clear? Would
his soul be normally alive?" a man
in the room asked.
"He Is Dying"
"That I do not know, but the
i hances are against it."
The shapeless bundle In the little
cot stirred and the physician went
over to it. He bent over the child and
said, with a sudden accession of feel
ing:
"Not much longer to wait, little
one."
Then he turned to those around him

"I love the little deformed
one, but the doctor told me
it would be an imbecile, a
criminal. Left to itself, it
has no chance to live. I
consented to let nature take
its course. This baby, if al
lowed to live, would be a
burden to itself."
RIGHT TO LET
CHILD DIE SAY

Dr. J. B. McAlistcr, Shite Medi

JUSTIFIED IN COU RS E
City Health Officer. Dr.
ri • i
naumek, Concurs in Opinion;
Nature Solved Problem
I Dr. H. ,T. Ilaiselden, chief of the
! staff of physicians in the German-
American Hospital, Chicago, did only
his duty when ho decreed that tho
6-day-old baby of Mrs. Anna Bollinger
be allowed to die rather than live a
life "barren and useless," is the opinion
of Dr. ,T. B. McAlister, 234 North Third
street, president of the Pennsylvania
State Medical Society and one of Har
risburg's leading physicians.
This view is also shared by Dr. John
; M. J. Raunick, secretary of the City
Board of Health, and others.
"Under the circumstances, as I un
derstand them." declared Dr. McAlis
ter, "the Chicago physician was justi
fied in his course. Had the child lived
it would have been an absolutely help
less mass, subject to constant suffering.
Where Nature Solves Problem
"Furthermore," continued the presi
dent of the State Medical Society, "Dr.
Haise'den did not do anything to cause
or hasten the infant's death, fie only
deflined to perform an operation
which might have prolonged its life,"
and the physician placed considerable
emphasis on the "might."
"The physician only left Nature take
her course and solve the problem for
him," added Dr. McAlister.
Thinks Course Proper
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, holds the same views as Dr.
McAlister. Said he:
"1 think Dr. Haiselden's course was
proper. X believe the whole profession
is beginning to feel the same in such
cases where there is no hope for a
healthy child."
The superintendent of nurses at the
Harrisburg Hospital also has some
views on the subject. She "isn't ex
pressing them, however," she says.
Surgeon Claims it Is
Necessary to Defend Race
From Mentally Defective
By .Associated Press
Chicago, Nov. 18. ln a signed
statement to-day Dr. Haiselden gave
] his case:
"I say again that it is our duty to

among us, and add to our burden and

George Burkitt, assistant postmaster at Winnetka, HI., said he thought
President Wilson should have waited a year* after his wife's death before
remarrying. Very soon after that he received word from the postmaster that
his services were no longer needed. He had been "disloyal to the President."
Then he wrote to Daniel C. Roper, first assistant postmaster general. Mr.
Roper answered that his case had been "formally and finally" reviewed.
After the President himself took up the matter the first assistant issued a
statement that he case was yet open. Anyway, the President ordered that
Mr. Burkitt be restored to his position.

STUBBORN FIRE
BURNS BUILDING
IN LANCASTER
Flames in Heart of Business
District Cause Loss of
$20,000
Special to The Telegraph
Lancaster, Pa.. Nov. 18. One of
the most spectacular tires seen in Lan
caster for a long time broke out early
this morning in the Jacobs Clothinji
Store in the heart of the business sec
tion and before the blaze was under
control the building which houses the
[clothing store and the Hardwickes
j Candy Company was badly gutted.
Tho loss, according to various esti
mates made to-day will reach at least
$20,000.
When the fire companies arrived on
the scene the building was a mass of
flames and although tons and tons
of water were played on the structure
the firemen appeared to make little
headway. The lire was being fed from
some source but it was not until a
while later that it was discovered that
broken gas mains in the big building
were causing the trouble. Then the
supply was shut off in the street.
The building in which the lire oc
curred has two big storerooms in. the
first floor, the one occupied by the
clothiers and the other by the candy
company. On the second floor is the
Lancaster office of the Prudential Lite
Insurance Company and the third floor
is used for storage. The candy com
pany 103S may reach SIO,OOO. The
building was owned by Charles A. L>.
Zook who purchased it a short time
ago. The loss is partly covered by
insurance.
The new motor apparatus of the
Lancaster department was used for the
fir.st time to-day and did good service.
Some of the firemen were directed in
their work by Mayor Harry L. Trout,
a former fireman, who has taken an
active Interest In increasing the etll
ciency of the Lancaster firemen.
The cause of the fire is given as
spontaneous combustion.
