CHILD IN HOSPITAL
DYING OF LOCKJAW
Removed From Home of Priva?
tion Too Late to Save
Her Life.
FAMILY IN SAD PLIGHT
Father Supports Invalid Wife
and Four Children on $7
a Week.
Lying upon a little; whlto cot in the
children's ward of the Memorial Hos?
pital is the pathetic figure of a wan
and undersized nine-year-old girl,
suffering the last agonies of tetanus.
Though for thirty-six hours she has
been surrounded by every possiblo
? comfort and attention by nurses and
physicians, efforts to save her 'lire
have been vain, and It was said last
night that she could not' live twenty
four hours. 1
The constitution of the chtld was
not such as to resist the progress
of the dreaded malady. Her fatner,
following the occupation of a meat
cutter In the Seventeenth Street Mar?
ket and earning fl a week, attempts
to support an invalid wife and tour
smnll children, who, half starved, bare?
ly exist.
The dying girl is Kannte Schwartz,
daughter of Isaac Schwartz, of ltis
Tenth Street, Fulton. She was taken
to the hospital Tuesday night, hut the
disease had made too much headway
for the skill of physicians and nurses
to be of any avail.
Rnn Splinter Into Font.
Lockjaw is said to have been cuu.
when the child ran a huge splinter
Into her 'right foot while playing at
her home. The father removed what
he thougnt to bo all of the sptKe,
but examination after she had been
carried to the Memorial disclosed two
inches of wood to still bo in the
wound.
This was Immediately removed, but
the blood had been inoculated with the
fatal tetanus bacteria to such an ex?
tent that it Is not within the bounds
of human possibility to stuy the hand
of death.
Not believing the Injury to be of a
serious nature,, the parents of the girl
did not at first summon medical at?
tention, but when her condition grew
alarming aid was sought, and tne
physician who was consulted immedi?
ately ordered the patient's removal to
the hospital. Six weeks hnd elapsed
since the time of the accident, ann
the delay will cost the child's lite.
The plight of this Fulton tamlly is
said to bo one of the most sad Imag?
inable by those who concerned them?
selves In the case and made an inves?
tigation.
Help Riven Family.
The home was visited by severa?
charitably disposed persons. The moth?
er, though ill. manages to keep tne
little home spotlessly clean, but tne
visitors declare that when they called
upon the woman there was no tood In
the house. Provisions were later sent.
The father was Interviewed and
told a story of dire povet ty. "1 work
hard," he said, ''but It Is Impossible
for me to support my family on my
wages?57 n week. I work from early
morning until late In the evening, but
nil I can earn Is $7 for six days' time."
Schwartz Is employed by a hutcner.
Besides his dying daughter he has
three other small children.
Efforts are now being made by sev?
eral men who have learned of the
case to secure a better position for
the man.

The State Board of Law Examiners
will meet -according to statute at
P.onnoko on .lime 2S, for the examina?

New Produce Exchange Loses on J
Alleged Infringement of Old j
Concern's Rights.
Judge Edmund - Waddlll. Jr., In the1
United States Circuit Court yesterday,
granted an injunction restraining the
Farmers' Mutual Exchange, of the
Eastern Shore of Virginia, from the
use of a trade mark, alleged to be an
infringement on the trade mark of
the Eastern Shore Virginia Produce
Exchange, which organization, insti?
tuted suit. The court, however, on
motion of the defendant, allowed ,-.n
appeal and awarded supersedens upon
condition that the defendant give bond
In the sum of $10,000 within fifteen
days from the time of the entry of
the order. The plaintiff was required
to furnish $.r,,000 bond.
This Is an outcome .'of the recent
split in the Eastern Shore Produce.
Exchange, which ended in the forma?
tion of a rival concern. The old asso?
ciation has the credit of achieving
wonderful success In marketing the
crops of tho farmers of Accomac-nnd
Northampton counties to the best ad?
vantage.

laid their hands on Wilson. He smil?
ingly asserted his Innocence. Mow
could they possible suspect htm, an
orderly who tlways looked arter the
patients with ouch tender care? But
they did suspect him, and rcquestca
him to take them to his home. Tnty
went 10 the home. 1114 West Leign
Street, and searched the house rrom
cellar to garret. At last in Wilson s
trunk, they came across a gold pair
of cuff buttons, the property of F. O.
Eakcn. who had Just recovered ana
left the hospital.
Strange Coincidence.
"My sfstcr gave me those," saia
Wilson. "She gave them to me for e
Christmas present."
"It's a funny thing." said one or
the officers, "but these buttons are
strangely like those belonging to Mr.
Eaken. You remember Mr. Kaken,
don't you?" Wilson remembered Air.
Kaken, and then, seeing no way out.
he confessed.
Another patient. Paul Armstrong, of
Faison, X. C, had reported a robbery
of $19. Willis said that he took only
$14, of which he had $6 remaining.
The other $S he had lost in a game of
crap. Fortunately the game was stop?
ped before he had a chance to lose
all he had. ?
Wilson was formerly employed in
Murphy's Hotel, where he worked tor
six years. Many room robberies were
reported there during Wilson's stay in
the hotel, and the detectives strongly
suspect him of those thefts also.
