HAGAN HOLDS THE HOSPITAL.
Its Present Occupants All Speak
Well of Him.
Jones, the Alleged Bibulous Nurse,
Under Questioning.
The Holmes Matter Siftad Down to s
Very Shallow Complaint -A Com
ical Scandinavian ou the
Witness Stand.
Tbe investigation ol the conduct ol
the county hospital by Superintendent
Hagan waa continued yesterday morning
by the supervisors.
Theodore Moeltke, sworn —Had been
a day nurse under Dr. Hagan, and like
wise under Dr. Brainard. Dr. Hagan
made a practice of coming around to
visit each of the wards in the hospital
every morning. He also came aronnd
at night, in the best of witness' belief,
bnt he could not swear to that, because
be was only there in the daytime. The
wards in charge of the witness have
been scrubbed every week. Witness
then gave a lengthy description of tbe
bill of tare provided for tbe patients in
tbe hospital. The fare was tbe same as
that under Dr. Brainard. 'In the latter
part of that gentleman's time the food
was not so plenty as in Dr. Ha
gan'a time. At first the food was
scarce, and a good deal of grab bine en
sued, but Dr. Hagan found out about it
and increased the supplies.
Witness bad met quite a number of
the King's Daughters, and his impres
sion waa that they were trying to intim
idate the patients to get them to make
complaints against the management.
Had not stated to the King'B Daughters
that the food waa bad or that he could
not get medicine for tbe patients. De
nied all utterances attributed to him by
the members of tbe King's Daughters,
but admitted he had said something
about the food not being good about tbe
time Dr. Hagan succeeded Dr. Brainard.
When asked if he bad not complained
bitterly to Mrs. Landt about how the
newspapers had whitewashed Dr. Ha
gan by giving one sided accounts of tbe
investigation, witness denied having
eaid so; and likewise denied having
told Mr. Clark be would subscribe for
his paper because it was the only one
that had told the truth about tbe hospi
tal management.
When questioned as to tbe statement
signed by him and published iv the
Timet of Joly 15th, he said it was true
as stated therein. The statement was
intended for the time of its publication,
and bad no bearing on the previous time
in the hospital. Denied having made
any appointment with Mr. Clark for a
secret meeting so as not to be seen by
tbe hospital authorities. Witness said,
in reply to a question by Jndge York,
that be did not know of any scheme on
tbe part of Mrs. Landt and Mr. Clark to
get Dr. Hagan out and* Dr. Post put
back, bat thought it qnite probable, be
cause Dr. Post was quite a "lady-like
m»n. [Laughter. 1
lo reply to a question about hot
water, witness said there has always
been plenty of hot water lor bathing
patients,
J. Clark Hill was the next witness,
and bis evinence was not particularly
Important. He ia a patient in
the hospital, and says he always
had been treated in tbe kindeet
way by Dr. Hagan and hie assistants.
None ol the King's Daughters had
sought to intimidate him in oider to get
bim to make a statement against the
hospital management, but, several
others had hinted that a complaint
would be acceptable. Witness told
them he bad no complaint to make, co
there the thing ended.
C. U. BROWN.
C. H. Brown volunteered a statement
correcting his previous evidence, that
Dr. Parsons said, "You ladies have lied
enough," by saying his wife had told
bint Parsons said, "You have been mak
ing false statements about this place."
Mil IIA 1.1. MORIARITY.
Michael Moriarity was the next wit
ness. He said bis treatment wae very
good, and food more plenty since July.
Had no complaint to make to Dr. Ha
gan, but had found him always kind
and conrteour.
KM. I.A VONTANK.
Mrs. E. L. La Fontane sworn. Is a
married woman and waa confined in the
hospital. Mrs. Landt had been there
and spoken* to her occasionally. Had
no acquainta nee with the King's
Daughters. Never knew that Mrs.
Hagan bad aeked tbe ladies to give her
baby away to somebody else for adop
tion. Have a husband, bat he is not
here. Several ladies came and asked
ber if she waa not neglected by the
nurses or pbjsicians. Witness told
them she was very comfortable and bad
no complaint to make.
M. MU M/.
M. Scbultz was next sworn. Was ad
i milted 10 tbe hospital on November 23d.
Had been an inmate of charity hospitals
in Rio Janeiro, Melbourne and Barba
doea, and thought tbe treatment quite
as good here as in Melbourne aud better
than in Bio de Janeiro or Barbadoes.
Never had any conversation with Mrs.
Landt. Heard her talking with another
of the patients about tbe bad lood, bnt
the man said ho had no fault to find
with bis treatment.
k. n. o'bribn.
K. R. O'Brien (.worn—Said he was
•uiployed in tho laundry of tbe hospital,
t»n had been a patient in tbe same
wards where Moe was night nurse. Moe
bad neglected the patients at night and
turned them over to the day nurse in a
wet and dirty condition on several occa
sions; was there from June to Novem
ber as a pntieot. since which time be
had been employed in tbe laundry.
When asked as to Snyder's case, wit
ness said Snyder was a fever patient
and got up and exposed himself so be
got a relapse aud died.
Mr. York—"There is a leprosy pa
tient tn the hospital. Does be do wash
ing for other parties besideo himself?"
"The man ia given a tab to himself.
He does his own washing, and carries
the clothes down to the cellar to dry.
Water in which his clothes are washed
i« never allowed to mix with water used
for washing clothes belonging to the
other patients. Have no friends nor
relatives here, and no money save
what I get from tbe county. Have re
sided here about ten months."
Mr. Rush—"Did yon not tell Mrs.
Snyder about a man delirious from fever
attacking her husband while he was
sick in bed?"
' No sir."
Richard Hunt, sworn—Have been
•«ployed in the hospital three years as
day nurse. Have been a poiition to ccc
how tbe hospital waa ran. Thought it
waa wall conducted by Dr. Brainard,
and aa well, if not better, under Dr.
Hagan. Patienta are aa well cared for
in a medical way and much better fed.
He ia unremitting in hie attention to
patienta, and I do not know of any pa
tienta being neglected by Dr. Hagan.
Moe waa careless, and left tbe beda of
patienta wet from urine on repeated oc
casions. That waa the reaaon of hia
discharge. Dr. Hagan baa been nni
lormly kind and courteoua in hia inter
course with patients at tbe hospital and
I have never heard him apeak abruptly
to them or any of them. Do not know
of any patienta being left for eeveral
days without being given medicine or
being examined immediately.
T. O. HARRINGTON.
T. G. Harrington waa aworn. He ia a
day nuree at tbe hoapital. Does not
know of any patient being negiected at
any time, either in the way of examina
tion or medicine. The patients in tbe
ward where I work are helpleaß and un
able to take care of themselves at any
time. Know of no complaints about
lack of cleanliness. Have all I can do
to keep my owu ward clean. Wbb a day
nnrse in the wards where Moe was night
nnrsa. He neglected most of them, and
their beds were saturated with urine in
the morning. Several of tbe beds were
wet and dirty with fecal matter on sev
eral occasions.
Adjourned to 2 p. m.
Afternoon Session.
There waa a perceptible decreaae in
the attendance aince the morning ses
sion, but the ladiea were out in their
usual etrong force.
C. T. Duniway aworn—Am a nuree in
the county hospital and have been so
for eight years. Do not see any material
change in tbe management of tbe hos
pital since Dr. Brainard left. Had
charge of the surgical ward. Operations
are sometimes to be performed by Drs.
Kurtz, Mat Gowan and others. The
hospital id always kept, very cleanly and
nobody has complained within my hear
ing. Do not know of any man having
fractured limbs being told by Dr. Per
sona "Shut up. what in hell are you cry
ing about?" Never caw rough neage by
Dr. Paraons towards a man brought in
with broken leg. Plenty of hot water
was to be had at all occasions but think
three days in the week are enough for
all ordinary purposes. Was not so much
the supply of water last May but the
unnaual number of men that caused tbe
trouble.
Mr. Hanley—What doyou know about
a cat being seen in your ward with a
human heart in its mouth?
"I never caw anything of the sort in
my life."
Mr. Rush—Do you say Dr. Hagan al
ways makes daily rounds and visits
your ward each day?
"Yea sir."
"Have you cot sometimee given pa
tients no bath for several days after
arrival?"
"Sometimes I have, but it waa gen
erally in cases where they were ex
hausted by travel. Have been there
eight years, and my wages are $40 per
month. Never told Mrs, Landt tbe hos
pital waa in a bad fix and it was time
that somebody waa doing aomething
with it."
W. M. DAVIS.
W. M. Davis, sworn —"Am deputy
sheriff at county hospital and have
charge of the insane at that place. Have
been employed there as nurse, and
subsequently as deputy sheriff; for tbe
last two years. Have noticed Dr. Hagan
in hia intercourse with tbe patients.
He is uniformly kind and gentle toxrard
them "
"Did Mrs. Tiscbauaer escape from the.
hospital while you were in charge of
her?"
"She djd, but she was not in my charge
at the time of heir escape;"
Continuing further, witnesa aaid he
waa in charge of the operating room fur
the last two years. He knew nothing
about a cat eating a human heart and
caw nothing of it till be read of it in
the papers. He had Been a dog with a
human hand in hie mouth, but thinks
he dug it; he knew the feeble-minded
girl called May and never caw any man
hugging ber.
« C. P. DIMEWAY.
C. <T. Dimeway recalled:

hospital September 21et and left there
November 26th; was well cared for by
Dr. Hagan, and tbe nurseß invariably
treated me we.!."
"Did you not complain to Mrs. Landt
that you bad not been given medi
cine?"
"I told her I wanted cod liver oil,
which Dr. Parsons refused to give me,
and that. I went to Dr. Hagan with a
complaint, and be ordered cod liver oil
to be given to me at once. I never beard
any abrupt language from Dr. Hagan ot

consumption."

hour after my arrival; was thereover
11 weeks. The doctore were very kind
and so were the nurses; they gave me
specially light diet, and I attribute my
recovery to their good nursing.
Mr. Rush—"Did you know a patient
named Holmes and, if so, what was bis
treatment?"
"He was treated just the same as I
was, and I was never treated more kind
ly in all my life."

READY TO REGISTER.
THE CERTIFICATES ARRIVE FROM
WASHINGTON.
Depntles Appointed by the Revenue
Collector—The Registration to
Commence on the
Third.
Tbe toTTowing from the Ban Francisco
Chronicle of Friday shows that Chinese
registry under tbe McCreary act will
commence in a few days:
Internal Revenue Collector Wellborn
received 10,000 regiatratioa blanks, with
books and other papers, from Washing
ton yesterday afternoon. The circum
stance has an important relation to the
work of Chineae regiatration in this city,
for it heralds the real beginning of pro
ceedings in that matter. Until the
blanks were received all preparations for
tbe work were of a doubtful character,
and neither Wellborn nor bis officers
knew positively when the first good
sized batch of Chinese would be able to
receive certificates. This uncertainty
has now been dispelled and the Mon
golian reaidenta of lhe eouthern district'
of California will be able to procure
papera entitling them to residence in
the Uniterm States within four or five
days.
The regiatration of the Chinese will
begin on January 3. A large number of
tbe blanks received by the collector yes
terday will be sent to different towne
throughout the dietrict thia morning.
Mr. Wellborn ie now having a circular
printed in Chinese, announcing the fact
that the work is about to commence and
informing the Mongolians of the provis
ions of the law. These circulars will be.
ready for distribution tomorrow, and by
Monday they will be posted in a num
ber of towns in the southern pare of the
state.
The circular is much the same as the
one issued at the time the neary lew
went into effect, with the exception that
a few changes have been made to fit the
latter act. The circular recites that all
Chinese liable under the exclusion law
to deportation, unless they are possessed
of registration papers, must procure
those certificates before May 3, 1894.
The Chinese are also notified that the
fact of former registration will not count
nnder the new law, and they must
again comply with the government reg
ulation.
Collector Wellborn has made arrange
ments to have registration bureaus in
San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, San
Bernardino, Fresno, Bakersfield, Tulare.
Martinez, Oakland, Alameda and Bishop
Creek.
Collector Wellborn made appoint
ments yesterday of five men to positions
in tbe regular revenue service. The ap
pointees were I. Norton and S. Lucy,
recommended by Senator White; Miss
Burke, H. tiuttetadt and J. W. Welch,
recommended by Congressman Maguire.
A NEW MOVEMENT.
A Well Known Kallroad Man and Hia
Idea.
All over the United States wherever
lailroad men are known Peg Williams is
known. In a lone, connection with the
East Tennessee and other roads he ac
quired an acquaintanceship that ia ac
broad as the land.
He drifted into tbe specially of mov
ing colored people, and during tbe past
10 years bas shifted fully 100.000 colored
people from tbe Carolinaß and Georgia
into other Southern states. His sunny
character and quaint ways made him an
array of friends.
He has conceived tho idea of eending
colored people to California, and has his
project well nnder way.
A Herald reporter caw him last night
and Mr. Williams informed bim that
fully 200 families of colored people are
getting ready to come to Southern Cali
fornia from Georgia. They are people
of some means, one of them, J. C.
Shell, being worth MO.OOO. He bought
property in Los Angeles a day or two
ago. These families will go to various
points in Southern California and Mr.
Williams says that if the people want
first-class labor by people who will be
come good citizens he will do his part to
solve the labor problem in this section
as far as tbe Chinese are concerned.
Peg Williams is a long ways from
home, but has found the world pretty
small and has ran across many friends.
The details of his plan of colonization
are given in another column.

The Temperance temple, at Broadway
and Temple etreet, was crowded again
last night to bear Warnon, tbe evan
gelist, in his exhortations, and witness
hia exhibitions of tbe faith cure by the
laying on of handa. The atage had about
SO old men and women eeated upon it
as examples of the faith cure when the
reporter entered, and he bad about all
he could do to get a Beat, for the preacher
was giving one of hiß voluble supplica
tions, which would defy tbe ablest of
atenograpbers to keep anywhere near
him. He rolled out bia gilded aphorisms
and rounded periods faster than the
ablest writer could conjure up the ad
jectives alone.
He cried out, "Brethren and sisters,
now is the day and now is the hour in
each man's and each woman's life to ac
cept our blessed Savior as the sole safe
guard against sin. He will lead you
into green pastures and make you a
home by the pure waters. He healed
tbe Buffering sinners of old and He will
heal your pains now if you will only torn
aside from the paths of sin and pin your
faith upon Him. Tbe service of Christ
is tho greatest of all liberty, but to serve
Him faithfully you must put away all
other fealties and allegiances. Cast
aside your creeds, your isms, your an
cient faiths, but you must leave them
all aside if you accept Christ. There are
faiths and truths that may not exist in
your creed, but lay aside your preju
dice.
"Don't Bay I took in my creed with my
mother's milk and cannot lay it aside.
Christ giveß you what you need, which
is life, regenerating life, that we cannot
get elsewhere. You cannot rise above
sordid earth without His saving power
and that of tbe Holy Ghost. We are
newborn children, just breathing and
that is all, and we need the regenerating
power of the Holy Ghost. One breath
of power of the Holy Ghost nerves your
arms, you become strong men, soldiers
in full armor aud fit for battle. Blessed
ie the man who is filled with the- Holy
Ghost. The full power of the Holy
Ghost is the regenerator of mankind by
its magic strength. God can accomplish
anything. He nerved David's arm and
gave him the smooth stone to pierce the
giant's forehead who led the forces of
sin. The Holy Ghost will reveal Christ
to us in all His regal magnificence. Join
His forces and all mankind shall yield
to you, because you are armed in the
panoply of divine power. Once the
heavens are opened to you with all
Christ's power, you shall be the victor
and gather golden sheaves from every
hillside of the blessed harvest which
Christ vouchsafes to the laborers in Hia
field. All tbe hosts of Satan shall yield
to you as you march to your unbroken
triumphs. Give but your eouls into
His keeping and tbe hosts of Satan
shall flee from yon. They cannot harm
you, for you ahall be aa invulnerable aa
the heel of Achillea.
"You shall rise to conquer, as did the
great hero and mighty Swiss leader,
Arnold Winkelried. who beat back tbe
Austrian forces four centuries ago; cut
their way through tbe serried ranks of
the Austrian army, crying, "Make way
for liberty." On the hilltops at sun
down when the sheep are called in for
tbe night, the shepherds breathe hia
name and bleßß their liberty-loving hero
of 400 years ago. Make yourselves,
therefore, tbe soldiers of liberty, for you
are patriots of the army of Christ, born
in the divine light of the purified and
regenerating power of the Holy Ghost,
A like victory awaits you aa you go
forth to crush down the power of the
saloon and the gambfing den in this
fair city of Los Angaleß. Now let us all
eing one veree of that good old hymn,
Coronation."
The hymn was sung, and then Mr.
Warnon bet:an to call up those who had
come to be healed. Tbe preacher sur
veyed his audience, and then eaid:
A SPINAL CURVATURE CASE.
"Bring forth the child with spinal
curvaturo who has been afflicted for
years. I mean tbe child we operated on
last night," Warnon said. "Oh Jesuß,
plant Thy conquering power over disease
into the frame of this afflicted child. If
not tonight, some other night, as soon
as Thy loving will and power may dic
tate. Now, dear child, pray to Jesus
and thank him for your restoration.
You are straigbter now than you were
last night."
AN APOPLECTIC JUMPER.
Tbe next man waa an apoplexy pa
tient wbo eaid be bad nervous quiver
ing, bat it bad been leaa since tbe evan
gelist had prayed for him. Warnon
eaid: "Lord Jesus, heal this man in
Thy beloved name."
He then made the man put bis feet
upon the back of a chair, and put him
through his paceß around on the stage,
saying: "See how the Lord has helped
him already."
The audience applauded aa the man
walked. Warnon held him by the arms,
saying: "Jump! I will hold you so you
don't fall. Now," he continued, "see
this man wait, jump and turn around.
I lay my hands on bim in the name of
tbe Lord Jesus. Amen!"
THE DEAF WOMAN.
Next came an alleged deaf woman.
He whispered a question and she gave a
direct answer at once. He laid bis
hands on her, cryine,"Praisethe Lord."
He then went on to Bay that the
woman had been afflicted with blood
poisoning co bet wrists conid not be

"Now you see how her hands move.

feel pain now, sister?"
"None now, thank you."
"Praise God. Let all adore him in His
gracioua work."
THIS WAS A BTIFF-NECKED WOMAN.
Next he brought up a woman with a
stiff neck. She aaid ahe had not been
able to move about ao well aa eince he
laid hia handa upon her head. Yester
day she aaid that ebe grew tired of
combing ber hair, but ahe feela much
improved , co ahe does not tire with that
effort.
"Dear aiater, I lay my handa on yon,
praying your faith may make you well
aa ever you were. Come up here tomor
row; I will help you."
IT WAS IN HER EYE.
Next came a lady with chronic neural
gia in the eye, which the doctora called
induration of tbe eyeballs.
"Lord, grant thia aiater help and help
her failing eight aud her palpitation oj
tbe heart. In the name of the Lord
who giveth etrengtb, hear her tows to
walk with Jesus, and help her, oh
Lord."
"Now I want a committee of two
tv examine her and say if ber heart
beats regularly and naturally." The
committee reported favorably.
IJ Kit ARM WENT UP.
The next lady had a stiff arm, but be
made ber put her arm above her bead,
while he cried: "Praise God for His
aid to this afflicted woman. Sister, thy
faith hath made thee whole."
HE II KM) VP AN ARM.
Tbe next caee, an old man afflicted
with locomotor ataxia, had not been able
to uee both bia lege. He bad to walk
with canee, and could not lift his feet
off the ground.
"Before I touch you again, my friend,
walk out here. You could not lift your
arms last night; lift them now. I pray
the Lord Jesus to visit you with has
saving grace and help you for His
name's sake. (Here he made tbe man
jump.) You now see how he has re
gained the use of his diaintegrated
nervea. Dear brother, I rejoice to ccc
that the Lord haa helped you. You
could not have done that laat night.
May tbe dear Lord ever abide in yonr
heart, and your faith increase. Come
again tomorrow. Your'a shall be my
care: come tomorrow afternoon."
HER VOICE CAME BACK.
Next was a woman who was very weak
with spinal disease but aaid tbat
eince the laying on of bande laat night
her voice waa atrong again and her
strength came back to her.
VI touch your spine in the name of
tbe Lord and ask Him to heal you."

"Yes."
"Thank God, you are saved. Coma
