The Health Department's research! laboratory, operated under the direc tion of Dr. William H. Park, could find no evidence of sewage In oysters grown in waters that received fifty j million gallons of sewage dally. The failure of the Health Depart ment to \find evidence of sewage in sewage-fed oysters was not surpris ing. At the oyster trial Director Lucius P. Brown quizzed me as to what 11 knew of Mr. Wallstein's mysterious; activities in connection with his! slaughterhouse investigation. As he spoke I had in my pocket a report to Health Commissioner Dr. ! Haven Emerson bearing Brown's sig- j nature. In this report it was stated that Dr.' William H. Park had failed to And, evidence of tuberculosis in the tuber cular lesions taken from animals killed in the slaughterhouses of Brook lyn and passed by the Health De partment in consideration of bribes paid to Health Department officials. In the report made by Director I Brown to the health commissioner, under date of February 15, 1916, ap peared these words: "This report is made to RE FUTE the statements made by Mc- I Cann February 4 to the effect that the ! Department of Health has done noth | ing in connection with the operation j of slaughterhouses, j "January >, 1016, a small piece of 1 meat wan submitted by McCann, said , by hiiu to be tubercular and to have ' been passed by one of our vetcri '■ nurians at slaughterhouses under de ! part in en t control. This sample was ; submitted to the bacteriological lab oratory, which reports that smears were negative." The "small piece of meat" consisted of a caseo-caleareous lesion excised from a liindquarter, r photograph of which, bearing the Health Depart ment's "inspected and passed" stamp, I is in my possession. | The word "negative" was provided ]by the Health Department's labora- I tory us it had been provided on many j oilier occasions. I The report continued: "January 10, 1910. McCann re | port* 1 *! that lie had found one liind l quarter affected with a tubercular lesion. Inspection was made by di | rector, assistant director, and In- J spccior Cooncy with the result that ! they found four Idnilquarters af j fceted with a calcified abscess at ; stifle joint. j "Tin' bacteriological laboratory re ' ports that smears give negative re sults." Again the word "negative" was ! asked to confront the hideous facts j v.-hich at that moment Commissioner Wallstein was unearthing. The inaccuracy and bias of the re | port was further revealed by the statement that the Health Depart ment officials, as a result, of my re porting that I had found one T.ind quarter, had found four other hind quarters. The officials had not found llioso four hindquarters as reported by Director Brown to the commis sioner. Two hours prior to my calling the officials to look at these hindquarters. I had bought them, paid for them and hung them up for their inspection. They were my property. At the same time I had also bought the stripped pleura of an old cow from Johnson avenue bearing the Health Department stamp. This stripped pleura I also turned over to the of ficials. The report, signed by Mr. Brown, made no mention of this fact. The report continued: "January 19, 1910, McCann re ported to Mr. Fiske, secretary of the commissioner, tliat he had found .another tuliercular liindquarter wltk'li could lie seen In his office, "Mr. Fiske, Mr. Salthe, and In spector Dlttler visited McCann's of fice and found the liindquarter, the stifle joint of which had n calci fied abscess. "Another liindquarter was also found by McCann. This was ex amined by Ins|iectors Dremm and hazard, who reported tliat It had u i tubercular lesjon." The untruthful description of this] diseased specimen, made over the sig- I nature of the director to the commis sioner, was consistent with the Health I Department's desperate efforts to save Itself from the co lapse so soon to come. The carcass had been sold by S. & H. Plaut to the retail butcher ih whose shop I discovered it and from whom I bought it. It harbored gross and extensive lesions, one of -Allien was as large as a grapefruit. The specimen was so morbid that many of the twenty witnesses who examined it were nauseated and had to leave the building. A half-tone photograph of it was published in The New York Globe the following day. The picture, which conveyed but a faint impression of the original, proved so revolting that for decency's sake it was withdrawn from ail editions after the first. When the report submitted to the commissioner of health described this loathsome condition as "a calcified abscess," which means a smal tuber cular abscess that is completely healed, I was obliged to accept it at its fjjee value, particularly for the reason that the word "refute" had been emphasized in its preface. June 1, 1816, following the arrest of the indicted slaughters and the ex posure of the Health Department's duplicity, Commissioner Wallstein ob tained from Director Brown the infor mation that Brown had not made the report at all, but that it had been made by his subordinates and sub mitted to him for his signature, which he attached without knowing any thing about the accuracy of the docu ment. When the subordinates were ex amined they declared that the inac curacy of the report was duo solely to inadvertence and hurry. They ad mitted to Commissioner Wallstein that the lesion described by them as r calcified abscess was the gross, ex tensive, pus-containing mass which I found it to be. These details of the Johnson ave inue tragedy indicate among many other things that it is not sufficient for the directors of public health ac tivities to be merely honest. They must also he free from prejudice and efficient enough to recognize the truth when they see it. The truth itself, as we are about to learn, contains a message for the American people whfch, if ignored, must end in greater tragedy.
