BGEIY HOSPITAL
CITY'S GREATEST NEED
Hopeless Patients of White Plague Have
no Place in Which to Die. Portland
' Largest City With no Facilities to
Meet Accidents.
SOME CRACK AMERICAN ATHLETES WHO WILL COMPETE IN LONDON THIS WEEK
Buffering with pulmonary tuberoulo
' " ala (consumption) and without funds.
It Wan killed himself In Portland with
in the past year because the great and
' rich Rose City had no Isolation hospital
where the poor unfortunate could be
-cared for.
- After serving through a Ions and
tedious course of training for a nurse
and fist arriving at the point where
- She was getting returns for her labors.
Ml Barnett, a nurse who helped hun
dreds of sick and maimed persons bark
. to health, fell a victim ol tne great
white plague and died in an out of the
way place In the very hospital in
which she had ministered to hundreds
Of others whose, bodies racked with
pain, Portland has no city hospital.
Stories Could Be Multiplied.
Buch is the simple but tragic stpry of
but two cases of pulmonary tuberculosis
that have occurred In Portland recently.
Many, others could be told with all the
. harrowing details of the Ions and r.a
; tient suffering of poor unfortunates,
who. too poor to seuiire proper caro, I
; died off at a rapid rate.
Of deaths resulting from communica
ble diseases in Portland this year a
very large percentage were caused by
pulmonarw tuberculosis. Note for In
stance the records of the health office
for January when 23 deaths resulted
'... from communicable diseases. Of the
' S3 deaths, 11 were from pulmonary
tuberculosis while two others were due
to- tuberculosis in other forms. Tet
t Portland has no isolation hospital.
In February the death roll was even
more terrible, out or l fleams irom
communicable diseases 12 were caused
by pulmonary tuberculosis and one
other from another form of tuber
' ' eulosls. In January the total number of
s, ; deaths In Portland from all causes was
JJ8. In February they were 165.
Scourge Present Always.
In March the record was further kept
op when 16 persons died from pulmon
ary tuberculosis and two from another
rorm or tunereuiosis out or a mini u
19 deaths from communicable niseases.
There were 180 deaths all told in March.
In April there were 153 deaths.
Of these 26 were from communicable
diseases. Fourteen were from pulmon
ary tuberculosis and one from another
form of tuberculosis. And still Tort
land has no Isolation hospital.
" But in "May the real harvest of the
J rim scourge came when 20 persons
led from pulmonary tuberculosis and
four from other forms of tuberculosis.
While the total number of deaths from
Communicable .diseases in the month
Was only 30. There were 151 deaths In
Portland in May and the percentage of
deaths from tubercular diseases was
neartv fB ner cent. Yet no isolation
hospital In beautiful Portland with its
roses and hills and glorious climate.
Smallpox Slays Pew.
And in May there wert 66. houses
quarantined for smallpox and more
than 82 oases were reported of this
contagion, the mention of whose very
name 20 years ago sent fear Into the
heart of'men, women and children. Yet,
not a death resulted from smallpox,
while the great White Plague reaped
its harvest of 24 victims. Still no lso-
la t Ion hospital for Portland, the queen
city of the Pacific coast.
In June the deaths from pulmonary
'tuberculosis were 18 and from other
forms of tuberculosis, one. This num
ber out of 24 deaths from communica
ble diseases has caused the authorities
T to sit up and take notice. They are
busy arranging for methods to erect
an emergency hospital.
Physicians who nave heretofore never
reported pulmonary tuberculosis are
taking cognizance of the fact that the
city health department is insisting on
every case of pulmonary tuberculosis
being reported and in event of failure
to do -so in the future means prosecution
. for the Offender. This quiet tip, which
has gone about the city has hnd the
desired effect, and in June one physi
cian commenced reporting cases in that
month. He reported two cases of pul
monary t ulien uln.tis.
Many Cases at Present.
In the flist nine days of July the
tame physlciun reported 14 cases of
pul mo na ry tuberculosis.
The flgtiris etnggered the health of
ficers. What would le the result were
every physician In the city to report the
cases thnt have fallen under their care?
How many poor unfortunates would be
saved wora their cases reported and the
city Iial an Isolation hospital to take
them to? How manv lives wbuld be
saved and the dread scourge eventually
stninped out in the Itose City If proper
steps were taken at this time to provide
a place tor consumptives.'
Chinese More Humane.
Even the Chinese, the lowly and
much scorned Celestial, lis provided
for their Indigent sick, and down In
clean quarters on Second street c,an be
seen several -weak and aged Chinese
passing their last days In comfort pro
vldedfor by their liumunltarlan breth
ren Portland death records show that
practically every Chinese who dies In
the Rose City Is a victim of pulmonary
tuberculosis. Without waiting for their
highly-c Ivillzed brethren to care for the
Indigent Chinese who fall a victim to
the scourge In a faraway land, the Chi
nese population hns founded and is
maintaining a hospital for their own
right in the heart of Portland. Tet,
Portland has no Isolation hospital for
either her own or her adopted citizens.
Nurses Weed Betreat.
With the foregoing mass of statistics
to back them up. it Is no wonder that
the members of the Oregon State
Nurses' association are anxious to se
cure a cottage at tho Open Air sani
tarium, where nurses who have con
tracted the terrible disease while nurs
ing and caring for the sick and maimed
can be restored to the health which
the pure air and ministrations of na
ture will give thern. Nature has de
creed fresh air as the only specific
for the disease which every year takes
Its toll of beloved ones, of those cast
down in health and fortune while trav
eling over the rough road of life, and
w no go to their graves In numbers
that nstound the medical profession
urn! seldom reach the ear of the pub
lic. Hospital Demanded,
It Is no wonder that City Health Of
ficer Dr. Ksther.C. Pohl. members of
the health board and city officials, as
well as physicians In both the city and
county, are demanding that steps be
taken to establish some Institution
where the gasping, coughing victims,
vertly starving for a breath of pure
air without suffering the pains and
tortures of the damned, can be taken
to die in a bed clean with fresh linen
and with nurses with kindly faces do
ing all In their power to ease the
pain that finally carries the racked bofly
beyond the pale.
No other city In the T'nlted States,
and It Is even doubtful If in the entiro
civilized world, the size of Portland,
Is without an emergency hospital and
Isolation ward. Many cases corne up
each year In Portland of accidents to
men. women and children. There Is
always delay As to where to take the
victim. Inquiry is first made as to
whether he has a home. A search is
made to ascertain whether tho person
Is capable of caring for himself or
whether he would prefer going to his
home or to the hospital.

San Francisco. July 11. While the
American athletic team, which Is now
in England ready for the Olympic
games, will be a hard aggregation to
beat, I do not think the Americans will
have such an easy time annexing the
honors as seems to be the general
opinion In this country. The times
made In the flat races and hurdles in
this country are all good enough to
win, but it is doubtful if the Ameri
can athletes an duplicate their times
In England where the climate has its
effect, and the tracks, on account of
the weather being more settled.- are
riot always so fast as athletes on this
side are used to.
America has a strong team In the
sprints, and with Hector, Huff, Cart
mell and Robertson should make an ex
cellent showing;; but Is must not bo
forgotten that during his visit to Eng
land last summer Cartmell. who is one
of the fastest of the American sprint
ers, was repeatedly beaten in the 100
yard dash by the Erijgllsh champion,
Morton, who Is still running In excel

seconds. There are a number of fast
men in the middle distances on the
British team. Just has done 1:55 4-5,
Cornwallis 1:66, Astley 1:57 1-5 and
Halswell 1:57. An Englishman has also
run the 1.600 meters in 8:59, which
knocks six seconds off Paul Pilgrim's

There are three pole vaulters on the

OLD SCOUT O'BRIEN PLEASED WITH
WORK OF GROOM AND RAFTERY
"Raftery la the best center fielder
Z have seen this year among the minors
and Groom is about the beat pitcher.
. Cleveland wants both of these men."
This was tie statement made yester-
" day afternoon by Tom O'Brien, the
Cleveland scout, who arrived In Port
land wsterday morning and saw the
11-lunlng game between the Beavers
and Seals In the afternoon.
Tom sat in one of the boxes and
. kept his eyes on Groom and Raftery all
afternoon. He could see that Groom
- was worried several times during the
game, dui aitnoutea it to the mumps,
with which Bobby has been attacked
in a mild form and which will probably
;eep him out of the game for two or
three weeks.
Groom looks like Addle Joss, the
Cleveland twjrler. and his actions are
much like those of the Nap slabster,
C'Frten says.
"l ut Groom up In frnnt of a veteran
catcher, a man who has the ability
to steady a youngster and teach .hlni!
the finer to:nts of the Dltchlhr ' art. I
and I believe he will bs a wonder,
continued O'Rr'.en "Ths boss treats
bis players splendidly and Larry La
Jole, the manager. Is a prince of good
fellows. It won t take long to deter
mine whether Groom 1s fast enough
for the big league. The southern traln--f
lg trip will tell and he can learn a
lot about the game in those first few
weeks,
t "That rtap P.aftenr is a dandy, its
'fXm ot ground and handln him
self well on the bases. He has a rood
easy position at the bat. and cu
U bail cleverly."
And when Tom neatly raked In thne
1 high files to the center garden
some of which wera difficult, the old
scout voiced his pleasure to his com
panions In the box.
O'Brien likes the looks of Ryan and
thinks Buddy, with proper handling,
will make a star Dlaver.

BAE0N LOXG DOES X0T
TAKE JEFF SERIOUSLY
(Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.)
Los Angeles, July 11. Disgusted
with the many Inconsistencies In the
fight game as played these days, Jim
Jeffries has about decided to sever his
connection with the ring, limiting his I
appearances in tne capacity or- rererefl
to one ana possiDly two star en-1
?agements mis year. Baron Long, jer
ries' partner In the fight proposition,
la not Inclined to treat Jeffries' threat
seriously, saying the blr fellow is sore
over the way he has been criticised by
Oilmore and others, and that Jim will
be all right In a few days. Long says
the club made a rich profit on tne
McEarland-Welsh fight. -
The location of the erounds In the
south Is reported to have been selected
and about the only work neotssnrv will
be the construction of the grandstand.

Yankees Take Lead at First
Range and Are Never
Headed.
(United Presi Leased Wire.)
London, July 11. Taking the lead
at the first range and never being
headed, the American team won the
International rifle match which closed
at Bisley today. The final scores were:
America, 2,531; England, 2,496; Canada,
2,439; FTance, 2,272; Sweden, 2,218;
Norway, 2,192; Greece, 1,988; Denmark.
1.909.
Only in one range, that at 600 yards,
did the Americans fail. The victory of
the Americana la generally considered
a victory for the new short barreled
Springfield rifle used bv them as well
as for their better marksmanship.
The most remarkable work done by
the Americans was at the 100-yard
mark, where their total score wss but
14 points below the highest possible
score.

It Isn't so bard to please a woman If

By Duncan Curry.
(Hetrnt News by Longest Leased Wire.)
Bedford Springs, Pa., July 11. De
spite the fact that a more wicked rout
could hardly have been found than th
one from Pittsburg here, nearly all the
cars got through today within the time
limit, and there were no accidents to
any of the tourists. This was surpris
ing, considering the tough places the
cars had to pass over. One car, an
Overland, driven by C. F. Forth, broke
an axle near Pittsburg and that put It
out or tne Mower tropny. There are
nine now left with clean scores In that
event.
The club teams are holding out well.
The three Mortons, representing the
Bay State club of Bostom are doing
splendid work. So are the three Stude
bakers from Rochester. And the Army
Dispatch Studebaker Is holding Its own
admirably, carrying three newspaper
men. Hal Hherldan, winner of last
year's llower trophy, has been romping
along In a Whlve, though not entered
this year. Two or the new drivers this
year who are attracting nttention are
F. E. Wing and J. W. Maguire of Bos
ton. Two years ago Wing competed, but
this Is the first year for Maguire.
Charles Burman is guiding the Peerless
outfit in capital shape.
Mrs. E. W. Shirley was late again to
day but Mrs. Cuneo got In on time. One
of the Garfords, driven by W. B. Her
bert, lost some points by doing some
mechanical work, and the Cleveland cluD
will lose a few more points. All the
other teams got through without penal
lzatlon, so the score is practically the
same as yesterday, with eight teams
tied for the first place. Two Etevens
Duiwea cars have been keeping up the
pace each day In their run for certificates.

Spokane, Wash., July 11. It took 10

The feature of the same was a long

With representatives of practically
every nniomtn the city present, a long
start was made last evening toward or
ganizing the new labor body whloh Is
to supercede the Federated Tradea ooun
cll In Portland.
Drew's hall was packed by the dele
gates who continued at work until 11
o'clock. Hereafter a meeting will be
held every Saturday night until the by
laws are agreed upon when the whole
matter will be put up to the unlone to
pass upon by referendum vote.
The purpose of the reorganization Is
to bring the unions closer together. At
present each natural group of unions
goes its own gait with little reference
fn the others affiliated with the Feder
ated Trades council.
According to the new plan each nat
ural group of unions, or section, will
have a central body whose members will
be deles.ttes from the unions and who
will nlso be members of the general
body whose organization la now being
arranged. There are four such sub
councils at present, the printing trades,
building trades, iron trades and the wa
terfronj federation. Under the new pro
gram the brewery workers and railroad
men will also have similar sub-councils,
and there will be another for unclassi
fied unions. . .
William Noffke. a painter, was chair
man of last night's meeting. He Is a
member of the special committee which
brought in the new by-laws and whose
other members are R. D. Flye, W. H.
