Dr. Parrish tfot Disturbed. Dr. Parrish has been in the city health bureau for two years and Dr. Ziegler has been with the city for 12 years, and the Tuclc case is the first In which any negligence has been charged against them. The report of the special jury selected by Mayor Baker, while condemning the system of record-keeping at the city emergency hospital, was not nearly as severe In its criticism of the health officer as the grand jury. "In view of the verdict of men se lected by the leading civic clubs of our city, after a full hearing in the open, the public and press being present, the secret hearing of the grand jury does not disturb me," said Dr. Parrish last night. "The public can draw its own conclusion." The report was concise, and had none of the earmarks of a whitewash. No mention is made of the large number of witnesses called before the grand jury or deductions pointed out from their evidence. The report merely Btates the conclusions reached after a seven-day investigation. Dr. Parrish Blamed. Dr. O. A. Hess, assistant county phy sician, and Andy Cameron, night deputy on duty at the county jail, are not ex culpated but also are held to have been negligent. The chief blame, however, was placed on the shoulders of the physicians in the employ of the city. "Dr. Parrish was negligent when, on seeing Eugene Tuck on Monday and knowing he had a temperature of 102 degrees, he did not take the trouble of even examining him and also in not putting the deceased in the emergency hospital instead of a Jell," reads the report. Further, it holds that Dr. Par rish should not have permitted Tuck to be removed to the county jail in such a weak condition. The system of reporting sick patients to the incoming doctor in the emer gency hospital used by Dr. Parrish was found "inadequate and inefficient." Inefficiency Is Charged. "Dr. Ziegler should have made a complete examination of Eugene TuoJc instead merely of looking at him and guessing at his lilness," the grand jurors find. "It is this jury's opinion that if Dr. Parrish and Dr. Ziegler were in the employ of a private corporation and gave the same inefficient service they would be immediately replaced," reads the report. The grand jury finds that Jailer Cameron should have called in other doctors, also in the employ of the county, when Dr. Hess did not respond at once and that he should have been emphatic in informing Dr. Hess that it was Eugene Tuck who was sick. Cam eron had told the physician that there was a very sick man at the jail who was held for murder and Dr. Hess had testified that he had thought the jailer referred to Foster, another murderer who had been receiving attention at the county hospital from Dr. Hess and whom the physician knew was not in a very serious condition. Call Slowly Answered. Dr. Hess did not go to the county Jail the first night he was called, say ing he would be there in the morning. In the morning in response to a tele phone call saying that the man was dying, the physician delayed to eat breakfast. The grand jury found that he was negligent in not responding to the call the night before, within a rea sonable time, and on learning the very serious condition of the patient the next morning in not making a special effort to reach the Jail Quickly. The matter was Investigated on the order of District Attorney Evans, fol lowing the report of John A. Collier, attorney for Tuck, that his client had died of neglect. Collier declared that Tuck had received scant attention at the city jail, that his physicial exami nation by Dr. Parrish and Dr. Ziegler had been a farce, that he had been compelled to sleep in a jail cell instead of being placed in the emergency hos pital in the same building: and that he had been taken to the county jail in a dying condition. Death was f rem lobar pneumonia. Blame Emphatically Placed. The signatures on the grand jury report were: Henry Dickson, fore man: Thomas C. Duke, secretary: W. H. Hardy, Fred lleuller, Frank M. Haight, F- P. David and Charles H. Latorell. The jury during the May term ex amined evidence in 00 cases, returned 35 inaietments. 12 not true bills and re ferred two cases to the incoming grand jury. The grand jury probe in the Tuck case began before the city investiga tion ordered by Mayor Baker and -n-n- tinued simultaneously. The reports are much in common in the conclusions reached, although the grand jury states its finding's more briefly and is some what more emphatic in placing the burden of blame on Dr. Parrish and ir. x.iegier. Official Describes Work. Dr. Parrish was appointed city health officer in June. 1917. and has bern one jf the busiest officials in the employ of ue cuy. iiis snonest day In that time. no says, was ii nours, including Satur days and Sundays. "When the government started tn cleanup disease conditions," said the Physician last night, "I spent from four io nva nours a day in the examination of women brought up for investigation. In one day I examined 103 such cases. During the flu- epidemic, for 90 con ecutive days I never worked less than -is nours a naj, sometimes 4. I was always on hand during the relief at the auditorium between 7:30 and 7:45 every morning and there again at mid night during the relief period. Attack Not Justified. 'VDne mistake, if it may be called uch, does not justify such an attack n a public official. It amounts to an injustice that long hours of faithful ffervice ehould go for naught because of an affair of this kind, for which nr. Ziegler and myself were responsible in but slight degree. Dr. Ziegler has been city physician for 18 years and has been highly thought of by friends and associates. This is the first blemish in his official record. In view of that, he believes ia Vnjuat that the unfortunate death of MAJOR CHARLES A. MURFHET OP CORVALLIS. Tuck should be attributed to his lack of care when the man was attended carefully and when, every .indication was that he could not have recovered, no matter what care he received. One phase of the grand jury's report was criticized in particular by Dr. Par rish. That was where he was accused of allowing the man to be moved to the county jail in euch serious condition. Dr. Parrish pointed out that he did not know that Tuck was being moved, nor did Dr. Zeigler, as it was done on order of the municipal court. CORYSLLIS MAN PROMOTED CHARLES A. MURPHEY MADE - MAJOR IN FRANCE. Indians Deplore Paying Taxes on Land. Siletz Braves Seek: Way to Enhance Profits From Farms. NEWPORT. Or., May 31. (Special.) That eome of the old Indians who have been government wards on the Siletz reservation have developed a white man's ehrewdness was the as sertion of Dr. F. M. Carter, govern ment physician, who is visiting in Newport, his old home. These old braves enjoy all the profits, of their farms, but have been relieved of taxes. Now they are to be given titles to the and and will have to pay taxes, whicn they would like to evade. Dr. Carter is gathering data for an Indian history. For 60 years he has lived among the red men and studied them. He said that the recent mili tary funeral on the Siletz reservation of Andrew "Washington, a Klamath, who died from the effects of gas in haled at the front, was very Impres sive. All the residents, Indians and whites, participated. Paul Washing ton, a brother, was killed in action in the Argonne drive last September. These two men were the grandsons of Pushwash, a Klamath chief, who co-operated with Tyee Joe, a famous Rogue river chief and lieutenant of Shasta John. Shasta John was the most feared of all Pacific coast In dians, and for him was named Shasta mountain. Shasta John directed every man per sonally in battle with the whites, for his voice could be heard a mile, and he told each man when to attack, lie down or retreat. Finally captured, he was brought to Siletz, but there raised so much trouble he was sentenced to the government penitentiary in San Francisco, bay. On the steamer bearing him down he decided with his son, also a prisoner. to turn pirate and beach the ship and reach his former hunting grounds. The two men grasped clubs and attacked the crew, but were killed by revolver shots almost as soon as they started the trouble. The Indians on the Siletz reserva tion decided to avenge Shasta John's death and planned to grasp the sol diers' rifles at meal time when they were stacked in a barracks house. This was in 1859 when Phil Sheridan was in command of the forces. Tyee Joe de plored the killing of all the whites, settlers and soldiers, among whom he had friends, and exposed the plot to Sheridan. The young officer punished the guilty and never forgot Tyee Joe's kindness, often referring to him in later life. NEW EXHIBITORS EXPECTED Changes in Rose Show Plans Assure Liberal Display. prospective exhibitors at the rose show will have the new classification list and rules explained to them at public meeting of the Portland Rose society next Thursday evening at the central library. As the show this year will be staged at the auditorium, it is necessary to make changes in the for mer arrangements and the meeting has been planned to acquaint the exhibitors with these and thus prevent confusion on the morning of the show. In addition to this, the classification list has been so broadened that there will be many new exhibitors this year. Detailed information as to what classes exhibits should be made in will be ex plained by President Elaesing and Vice President Emmett Drake will speak on the registration plan so that each ex hibit can be properly classed.
